Chapter 1: What are the New Year's greetings?

8.337 - 12.639 Another Speaker

Happy New Year! Happy New Year's, guys! Yeah!

0

13.059 - 20.863 Another Speaker

We have spent a whole week getting ready to get back into these wonderful questions, and I'm just kidding. It's only been five seconds in our life.

0

22.564 - 24.765 Another Speaker

How many words of Auld Lang Syne do you know?

0

25.166 - 30.048 Another Speaker

I just watched When Harry Met Sally, and they have that in the movie, and I don't remember anything.

0

30.428 - 35.731 Another Speaker

Okay, so you just heard it, and you don't remember any of the words. Yeah, nothing. Should old acquaintance be forgot? Be forgot, yeah.

36.151 - 46.738 Another Speaker

And never come online. Yeah, I tap out at forgot. The problem is you have to really sing that full-throated, and then it's screeching breaks when you realize you don't know the next word.

46.998 - 56.305 Another Speaker

I remember the lyrics when Bob Odenkirk goes into Old Lang Syne at the end of The Joke the Musical in Mr. Show better.

56.325 - 58.366 Another Speaker

Okay, what are those? Prove it.

58.647 - 58.967 Another Speaker

He goes...

Chapter 2: Which Swedish chef impression is better?

1149.174 - 1151.756 Another Speaker

How many sets of cards will they have? Is it always two?

0

1151.776 - 1157.08 Another Speaker

It depends on how many characters are in the scene, but there could be four sets. Easy. That's max. Amazing. That's amazing.

0

1157.461 - 1161.905 Another Speaker

Usually two or three. And if it's like a one or two camera, obviously just one monologue one.

0

1162.285 - 1170.932 Another Speaker

And what percentage of the time are there mistakes on cards? Would you say? Very rare. Very rare. It's fucking amazing. That's like to have four sets of cards. They're fucking good. They're so good.

0

1171.153 - 1188.705 Another Speaker

Yeah. Cards, everyone in cards, they work so hard, so fast. It was even crazier going back this season, Seth, in my opinion, in terms of how late the changes and how many changes were going in. Yeah. Those political cold opens, it was insane because there were like five, six writers working on them at all times.

1189.145 - 1197.351 Another Speaker

And changes coming in from five different writers and the cards team just like making them all make sense and be legible and-

1197.611 - 1200.814 Another Speaker

They're also taking white tape to make changes.

1200.834 - 1212.425 Another Speaker

It's so analog. One writer stands with Wally. Wally does cue cards for my show to this day. And by the way, to echo your sentiment, Andy, the amount of Mondays he would walk in and say, well, we broke a new record.

1212.685 - 1214.046 Another Speaker

Yeah, it's crazy.
