Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
We do a thing on this program called an uncomfortable moment. Okay. And I want to tell you how you influenced us. Okay, great. Yeah, I feel like I thrive in uncomfortable moments. I don't know about thrive, but I feel like I, I guess what I wanted to say is that like, I feel fine. I feel comfortable in uncomfortable moments, I think. I feel like I'm just getting warmed up.
Chapter 2: How does Kyle Mooney feel about uncomfortable moments?
It's breaking bread. I really like toasting it with just a little butter. Yeah. That's my favorite. Olive oil is a good way to go. Yeah. If you want to be fancier. Do you have, now is there a nice butter that exists? There's a really nice butter. You can get it at Whole Foods. It's this French butter. I always forget the name of it. It's like in this gold wheel. Okay.
And I can give you the name of it, but it's, that's, you eat that and you're like, oh, Land O' Lakes blows.
Yeah.
Do you remember the lady on Land O' Lakes? Yes, absolutely. You know how she's gone now? I didn't know that, but I could understand that.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was problematic. This is my camera? Yes, sir. Do people ever play? Yeah, once in a while. Okay. They'll ham it up. Okay, okay. Do you remember doing the boobs thing with the Land O' Lakes lady? No, what's that? I mean, it was problematic, just I guess for Native American reasons, but then we made it worse. As children, we didn't know.
But you could cut out the Land O'Lakes cardboard, and she was on her knees holding a basket. And if you folded it like Mad Magazine, you could fold up her knees. up to her chest and it made it look like she had boobs they looked like two perfect it was so great I'm just imagining it right now it was really pretty great and as a like 40 year old when they got rid of it I was like
oh my God, it's gone. How am I going to show my nephews what a good time it is? Yeah, there's no way to access that sort of thing. No equivalent. Nothing a kid could get to to see anything explicit like that anymore. Yeah. I mean, I guess it harkens to a much more innocent time when That was your pornography, was taking logos and making porn out of it.
And now, like, you know, you can just open your phone. Yeah, we really liked, when we were kids, you know, I don't know, with calculators spelling out boobs. Yes. Yeah. That was sort of hot in its own way, too. You know, just saying, like, having access to the word was its own thing.

Chapter 3: What does Kyle think about the Land O' Lakes lady?
It was really great. Yeah. Wasn't there another one with loose? Like, if there was, like, you would tell a story. That's, this sounds right. Right. There's definitely, I know there were other ones we did, but. Yeah. This is something I'll have to Google later. Yeah. It seems like right up your alley. Yeah. This is the sort of thing I'm really into. Right.
It's kind of the thing that populates your films. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. You're a really good filmmaker. Oh, that's nice of you to say. Yeah. Thank you. Really. Are you making one now? I'm writing. I've written a couple things. And so now it's very early in the process of seeing who would want to make the movies with us. Right. Yeah. It's so impressive that you've made movies.
Yeah, I do feel blessed. I think that every time I've gotten something made, there's always that feeling of like, oh, I can't believe this is happening. True. You know what I mean? And it makes me,
i wonder if like my time is up do you know what i'm saying like i don't why i just naturally i think that's the way i were just always yes exactly yeah yeah just in general in life like truly yeah this might all be coming to an end yes so like i don't know what'll happen with these these new ones but yeah you know hopeful obviously
It's strange, though, because when I watch them, like small comedy films like this, it's like nothing can stop you. It's like you're just going to make them no matter what. Well, that is the thing that is still, yes, that I continue to find inspiring is seeing people make small things. You know what I mean? Yeah. I rewatched, what's it called again? Brigsby Bear. Brigsby Bear. Sorry.
And it's all of that essence of just- No, we could shoot this right now.
Right. Yes.
Dude, this is just one character. And I know a place. We could, let's go. Yes. Yes. So there was, yeah, there was obviously like a meta nature when making that movie because it felt like what the characters in the movie are doing. Let's just make this thing. Yeah. Yeah. I know. And when I watch that, I always think, well, there's really no excuse for not making something.
of whatever it is, it's like nothing really can stop you. Unless you really want it to look good and have a budget and that kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, the resources are there, are at your disposal. Yeah. Yeah. Was that movie in your head for a long time? Like by the time you made it? What was it, like 2017-ish, 2016? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it came out 2017. We shot it 2016.

Chapter 4: What is Kyle's experience with making movies?
And I think that like, there is definitely like a layer of, for men at least, I feel like kind of a bro-y quality. And of course, you know, the surf and skate and like that culture I think is so prevalent and it was when I was growing up. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Like kind of like the alt part of it, like the skater kind of.
No, I mean like, not that like, yeah, I don't know in terms of like the DIY punk ethos or something like that. No, I feel it was more like you've got to wear like a billabong shirt to fit in. You know what I mean? It was more like this is how you're supposed to look. Right. Less so like kind of like let's, you know, yeah. Let's make, let's do something. Crazy. Yeah, exactly.
Let's be renegades or rebels. No, it was just more like, this is kind of your uniform. This is our brand. Yes. Yeah. But yeah, no, it's, it was, I mean, it's obviously incredibly beautiful place and, but it also has like conservative components, you know, it's, it's, it's, it is a Navy town ultimately. Right. Are you married? I am. Yeah. And when did you, when did you get married?
uh august 21st 2021 oh so you had already that's yeah that's right okay i got nervous is it yeah so you had already moved back here I lived in LA before moving to New York for SNL. Moved out of my place. But then I pretty much always came back to LA during hiatuses. So I was either staying with friends or we were getting an Airbnb or a hotel or something like that. Right.
And I think it was maybe my second to last year at the show, I got a house out here. And then so we started to... begin the process of moving while i was on the show right and uh it says in your bio that um you hated your time at snl why is that oh my god i really i actually don't like how how do you access is is my bio like just like from wikipedia or something like that
You just look up bio, right? Kyle Mooney bio. Kyle Mooney bio. Man, I felt like I'd be talking about this. I feel like I had a sort of daydreaming moment of describing my experience. Because time's going to ask. Yeah, maybe it's just what my life is. Yeah. I know. When I was getting ready, when I was making your bread, I was thinking, I don't want to just ask about SNL.
But it's that weird thing because I'm sure people always want to talk to you about it, but it is, for you, has got to be just a huge moment in your life. Absolutely. And the tough thing, and I enjoy talking about it. I don't want to sound like, oh, no, here we go again. I don't feel that way at all. It's a tough thing to articulate. You know what I mean? And so much has been said about it.
Sometimes I feel like I don't know that I have the new thing to say about the experience. Yeah. I will say, like, when I think about it, and I've talked about all aspects of it at various points and in various interviews and things, but, like, it was ultimately... I mean, maybe this goes without saying, so incredibly positive because, like... I mean that, I was there for nine years.
I got, I had a sustained job for nine years, which is now like with the state of our industry, like that seems. Yeah. Like it wouldn't even, it doesn't even exist. Do you know what I mean? No. Did you know each year that you were like, is it every year you are waiting to see if you're called back? Yes. Yeah. Every year you're sort of finding out. I mean. Whether you are renewed. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, I keep on thinking, like, I have a vision. We've been talking about vision boards for a food-related thing. Oh, yeah? But I don't know what it means. What do you mean? That's the thing. I just like, oh, I feel like there should be a picture of pasta on there, but I'm like, why? I don't know what the meaning behind it is. Maybe it's just that I want to eat some good meals. What is this?
This is provolone. A plastic facsimile. But that's provolone. Maybe the food thing is some kind of Tom Kyle collab. Yeah. Do you like to eat food? I love it. I feel like I'm like. Yeah, I don't indulge in the ways I always want to. Like I feel bad for indulging. What do you mean? Like I feel like I can only have like a big pasta like once a week maybe or something like that.
Instead of like someone who just doesn't care and eats and drinks all the time. I know. Well, but you don't seem like a guy that struggles with weight. Uh, I, you know, I was, uh, I was a big kid growing up, so I feel like that's probably affected me in some way or another. I was too. So I always feel fat. Yeah. Always. Even when I'm not as fat. Yeah. I'm always fat. Right.

Chapter 6: How does Kyle Mooney view his cooking experiences?
No, you look great. And also. No, I'm just asking. Because body dysmorphia doesn't let you see yourself. To me, I mean, you look very good, but I also think that like, I also want to say that all shapes are good. Do you know what I'm saying? But your shape is great. So you're saying I should lose a little. I actually am not saying any of that. Like 10?
I think where you're at is the perfect place to be. But also, if you want to be in another place, I want you to be happy. I don't want you to hurt yourself, but I want you to be happy. Mm-hmm. It sounds like I should lose some weight. No, I didn't say that. When you see me, do you think athlete? When you see me, do you think chef? Chef? Well, I mean, you offered me bread.
If you're in front of a white psych right now and I have no context clues, what am I thinking? I wouldn't immediately think athlete. But it's probably just because you're wearing glasses or something like that. I don't think it speaks to the nature of your physique necessarily. I feel like it speaks to your aura and presence. But that could be unfair. Were you an athlete growing up?
I was an athlete growing up, which is very funny in all seriousness. I was chubby when I was a kid, like really little. You know what's so weird? I only probably had a year or two of being chubbier than normal. Uh, but I always carry that I'm fat because of that. Right. And, uh, but then I was an athlete my whole life. I was an athlete.
Yeah.
And I was in high school. I was a captain of the football team and I was in track and I was a captain of the football team. Yeah. What position did you play? Fullback. Wow. Running back. And I was the captain. I was also funny, but I was an athlete. I was the captain of the boat. And I meet people now. And whenever I say I played football, they go...
They totally don't see the old version of me being an athlete with long curly hair. Do you still feel athletic? I do feel, yeah, somewhat.
Are your kids athletic?
But it's very funny. It's like a whole other existence of my... Yeah. Yeah. People don't look at me, and I blame the glasses, too. I mean... John, do you think athlete? Sure. You do? Sure. As a guy that...

Chapter 7: What insights does Kyle share about body image and self-perception?
I saw that. Now, was he shot out of a rocket? Or like, was there some sort of? What do you mean? Like, they put him physically in a rocket? Or, like, a cannon, maybe? Like, his ashes? Maybe I'm imagining that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's Jim Harrison. Okay. This is a really... No, and he looks very... He looks genuinely happy. It's called A Really Big Lunch.
and he talks about these decadent lunches that he would have with his friends and just the best wine and sent to him by restaurateurs and people who just would feed him. And this guy lived, he really lived. So in answer to your question asking my daughters for permission, I saw this the other day and I thought, I think I don't ask for permission, I just slowly transition into this guy.
You know what I mean? I mean, like if, if I was your child, I would be proud. I would be excited. You would. Yeah. I think I would want to introduce you to my friend. Cause there is going to come a stage where, you know, you got to choose what kind of an older guy you're going to be. Absolutely. And you can, you know, that guy. Yes. That guy's having fun. Yeah. People want to come visit this guy.
Yes. If I'm like dying my hair and trying to stay young. Right. They're not going to want to hang with that guy. No, you have the opportunity to be like the fun old man that it's like, oh, Tom is awesome. He's awesome. Yes. And let it go. Like, I doubt Letterman ever asked this kid, like, I'm going to grow my beard. It's going to be a three footer.
Right.
You know, you probably just do it.
Yeah. It's, yeah.
You'd be so happy. You'd be so, like, if you did that. Yes, but it's also like, isn't there so much tragedy associated with it that like, just the amount like, that it seems feels so far away. The tragedy in the way we're living now? That like, yeah, that like, we can't have that yet. That it's decades. I know. Or. I know, I know, this is, I know. I have a sense of where you're going.
You put it on the vision board and make it happen in 2026. with that picture maybe that's maybe like subconsciously that's what the picture of the pasta was because that is a good vision is to like kind of like open myself up to indulging and allowing myself that the way my mind works is like I feel like I need to it has to be a reward do you know what I mean me too I can't just like do it

Chapter 8: How does the conversation shift to personal aspirations and vision boards?
That's what I need to like work on. Do you know Fortune Feimster? A little bit.
She's a comedian.
Not well, but yeah, very funny. We're co-hosts on this radio show, so we've come to know each other really well. She's a friend. And she lives that way.
That's, yeah.
she will go out for dinners before her show. She'll go with her friend to a dinner in that town, go have a dinner, there's fans around or whatever, she doesn't care, she'll have an old fashioned, and then she's just enjoying Kansas City, then she walks over to the theater, does the show,
And I think about that freedom when I'm in my dressing room with some celery sticks going over my notes, hoping that I'm going to do a good show. So we're like similar types. Yeah. You're like, you're anxious. I'm anxious about doing a good job. Yeah. I'm not superstitious anxious. I am... You know what? I think I am anxious. I always tell myself I'm not.
But when I go to the dentist, they're always like, stop clenching your jaw. Right. And when I got a massage the other day, and I hadn't had one in forever, and she's like, you are so tight on your left side. She kept telling me, just relax.
Yeah.
Just breathe. She was telling me to relax, and I'm like... I'm chill, man. Right. I'm good. Right, right, right. And I'm not. Right. I don't think I am. No, I physically can feel how not relaxed you are. Right, exactly. And I'm like, no, I'm good. She's like, no, you're not. Right. But I look at you and I think, chill. Really?
