What makes Molly Shannon a standout guest?
So I just saw Molly recently, Molly Shannon. And she is on the show. We had her a little bit ago. And she is always such a bright light. When you see her, she always smiles. She lights up. She has something to say. She asks about me. And I think she's starring now with Will Ferrell in his new show, Hawk. Because he was at the golf tournament. And yeah, Will Ferrell's a golfer. Yeah. And I think she's the ex-wife, which is perfect. Those two are so funny from SNL.
Yeah, they've done a lot of things together over the years.
Yeah. And a lot of people I know, she is definitely an SNL one.
How did Molly Shannon get involved with Will Ferrell's new show?
And especially women come up and go, Molly was so great and she's such a good vibe. And she's kind of quiet in real life. And then she has these you know, big characters. So a lot, lot to go over with her.
Yeah. Yeah. You'll see, we talk about what she does for working out. That's very funny. It really surprised me. And she just kind of in the running for as nice a human as you can kind of interact with that. You know, this is just for me, I was on a flight American going to New York and this woman was kind of like asking me questions and this and that. And she, She said that Molly Shannon went up and talked to her for two hours about her life and her family and, you know, just the nicest person.
I know, she's like, oh, really? She really gets into it and you go, oh, is this person actually listening to my story?
Yeah.
So I decided to try to go up there longer than Molly did because I was just competitive. Yeah, for sure. No, she's she's very nice, really funny, super talent and just a great hang. So I would check this out if you didn't hear it the first time. And if you did hear it the first time, do it again.
Why not go back for seconds?
Here she is, Molly Shannon. This is such a great idea. Congratulations, guys. Thank you, Molly.
And, you know, Molly, a bunch of high school friends and I chipped in and we bought a Bitcoin. So I'll let you know how that goes.
OK, great. I like how we're very quiet. Yes. I have a card. You know, I like when people talk this way. Like sometimes if I calm down, like if a if a fan comes up and is like, I just wanted to say that, you know, I'm like, oh, I feel so relaxed by your voice. So I'll keep talking to them if I like the voice.
I think that you, I think I relate that to you because maybe you talk like that in sketch or something, or maybe we've talked about that. NPR, that's where you did it.
I've talked about this in interviews, but I actually have something called ASMR for real, which is like a type of response to certain voices where you feel really relaxed. That's what it is.
What unique qualities does Molly Shannon bring to her performances?
It's real. I've had it since I was a kid. So Store, the game that we used to play, David, is kind of based on that.
How does Molly Shannon describe her workout routine?
But it is really real. If I ask a stranger for directions and say they had a certain voice where they were like, okay, let me just get the map. And then they touch the map and they have a certain type of voice, it puts me in a very relaxed state.
So is it like Zelig, Woody Allen, that you start to become them in a way? Like, hi, Molly, I'm just a really big fan. And you go, thank you so much. I love that. She just keeps asking for directions. No, it's not like that. I love that for you.
It's a feeling of like, it feels almost like getting a massage. It's like, oh. I love this voice. I do too.
It's like when you were a kid and people would read you stories, if you got the right voice to read you a story, that's what you wanted.
Yeah.
Some teachers had it. Sometimes.
That's cute, David.
When someone read you, go to sleep, you know, when you're little. Yeah. And you just go lock into it and you go, oh, it's the best. And then you zonk out. It's great.
Teacher would read the story. And I'm in second grade and the teacher was like 25 and had like nylon stockings on and a short dress. I was just sort of, it made you feel funny.
What personal experiences shaped Molly Shannon's career?
Oh boy. It made me feel funny. Like when I used to climb the rope in gym class, where that came from. Anyway, I don't know why I went there, but.
Wait, wait, wait. So you're saying that she would have stockings on?
