Why did Amy join the podcast early?
I'm going to just say this is the most lonely island thing, Amy, that you showed up before my co-hosts.
Well, we did change the time on them, right?
Yeah. And let me just thank you for joining us from what is very clearly an airport parking lot.
That's right, Seth. I am in an airport parking lot. I'm in Houston, Texas, getting ready to fly to Dallas, Texas with Elizabeth Fay for our tour. And we're also joined by Fred Armisen, who is joining us, too. And so we're all hitting the road. We're getting on a plane. But I take my podcast and my podcast. Oh, excuse me. That's the sound of a plane. Hold on.
It's weird that that interrupted how seriously you take your podcast, but keep going.
I take my podcast very seriously, like you.
I had a real emotional pang in the best possible way because I also reached out to Fred this morning to ask him a question about something we're going to talk about. And he mentioned that he's with you guys for Restless Leg. And I do think it speaks to and Golden Era that the three of you are together. And soon, whenever they choose to join my fellow.
Honestly, you and I could just talk and then you could just like. paste in them going, ha ha, yeah, you could do that.
Yeah. Well, we'll paste in your missing like, wait, who? When?
Well, I did my homework and I looked up what was going on that last episode because it's a blur because it was the episode you're going to talk about today was my last. So the good thing about the internet is you can just type in an episode now and they'll show you every sketch and their opinion on it.
But there's one thing, Amy, that I was sort of very taken with. For whatever reason, the Hugh Laurie Bronx Beat is hard to find online.
Oh, I wonder why.
I don't know, because I watched it. It might be my favorite Bronx Beat ever.
What was the emotional impact of Fred Armisen's presence?
Oh, it makes me want to watch it again.
It's very sweet because, of course, I'm watching it now knowing it's your last episode. I, of course, realized that means Maya came back to just be a friend and join you. It's also kind of cool knowing now that at the SNL 50th, that was a sketch that sort of has endured and been a place there. Bronx Beat is so funny. Also, Shoemaker just spent three days on vacation with Jodie Mancuso, who's the inspiration. And he said, oh, yeah, the best thing is Jodie really does talk like that in real life.
I know I've said this before when Maya and I are doing Bronx, we go back to the hair department and we just talk to Jodi just to, you know, and look, I'm not very good with accents. And I think my character there is kind of a combo of like my mom who has a Boston accent and Jodi who has the Bronx accent. But Jodi is really good at getting us back on track.
There is maybe one of the biggest laughs in the history of Rockspeed in this episode, which is Hugh Laurie is on and you guys are very enamored with his accent. You make him say schedule. He says schedule and you just both lose your minds.
Let me tell you something. All right. You want to know something? That accent will get you everywhere.
That is so sexy.
So sexy. Say some words.
What?
Say some words in your British accent. Yeah. You're Satan British. Say schedule.
Schedule.
Oh, my God.
You are both so horny in this sketch. It's really fun to watch.
Yeah.
But then you say, this is the biggest laugh.
You go, everything sounds better with a British accent. You know what? I wish we had accents. Me too.
And it is a rolling laugh. But I love that this whole time you are not aware of the fact, because I do think that Betty and Jodi from Bronx Beat don't know anybody who doesn't talk like them.
That's right. Yeah, no, they don't think they have a very strong accent. And, you know, like most women, they're entranced by an English accent. You know, we've all been there.
Oh, I've been there. I think I think I was there specifically with you, Lori.
Yeah, God, he's so talented. And I mean, I'm sure you'll talk about it in the podcast. But I mean, he's such a seasoned sketch comedian. He was, you know, it was like, I don't think American audiences know as much of how incredibly deep his sketch and comedy history is.
