In short
Conversation-heavy episode with Sarah Sherman (SNL comedian) promoting her HBO stand-up special “Sarah Squirm,” plus lots of pop-culture/TV-awards commentary (Golden Globes, CBS/teleprompter mishaps, Timothée Chalamet thanking “partner”), and behind-the-scenes discussion of how SNL writing works. They also trade comedic stories about touring, her “rider” for stomach issues, and her dressing-room life (cue cards, constant “spraying”/washing, fashion/perfume/patchouli, and New York food spots like Just Salad and Dirt Candy).
Guest backgrounds
Sarah Sherman is a comedian known for SNL; she has a new HBO/HBO Max special “Sarah Squirm live and in the flesh.” She discusses being integrated more into SNL characters (including a blonde “sorority girl nurse” style persona).
Key claims
“Sarah Squirm” is “too hot for TV.” Men respond differently to her when she appears in blonde wig/sorority-girl costume. She says she’s not getting “ingenue” roles in her inbox and frames that as anti-Semitism. She describes her stomach as fragile and claims sugar-free Red Bull is “gasoline for your intestines.”
Notable examples
Phoenix “Morning Zoo Crew” 6 a.m. set with a beheading video clip; her club rider list (Pedialyte, diet Coke, sugar-free Red Bull, black licorice, saltines); SNL sketch constraints from standards/FCC; her proposed “clit” Cleveland spinoff idea; Just Salad “Dirt Candy” order.

The temperatures are crisp jason stewart and i still have not watched heated rivalry um so so life is going just great really if you if you ask me i have um i had an idea last night actually okay involving heated rivalry don't okay okay pump the brakes chief let's let's be let's be up what what is the i just don't want anybody to get any weird ideas i didn't say it was a fantasy i said okay okay okay i didn't know if you've been reading scott sternberg's fan fiction on reddit But you're saying to me that you have an idea related to heated rivalry.
0:59Jason Stewart:Related to consuming heated rivalry. Okay, sure. Not orally. Yeah, yeah, I see. With our eyes, visually. With my eyes. But visually in a different way, Chris, I believe that it's been this long. It's been, you know, like we said, there's nothing else we could say about it that hasn't already been said. Everyone in the world, in the free country, has already completed every episode. I'm going to give HR the respect it deserves by reading the book first and then watching the show. Okay. All right. So you're going to fire up the Gen 1 Kindle and go to Amazon.ca and download the Heated Rivalry, the book, the novelle.
1:44Jason Stewart:No, no, no. I mean, I'll see if it's – I don't know. I don't know if I want audiobook. Audiobook sounds too intimate. No, no, no, no. If you're going to read Heated Rivalry, it's got to be putting eyes to page in that sauna. You got to be shirtless. Maybe you're on the beach in Mexico in a few days if you can get it in time. I'll be treated. I mean, because you know you don't have to buy a new copy because there are several used copies of Heated Rivalry available. Yeah, but I don't want to have to read the book. Check those pages. I don't want to have to read the book with my rubber gloves on like I'm breaking down a duck in the kitchen.
2:15Jason Stewart:It's going to have to wear a fucking full hazmat suit. You got hazmat? Why is Jason wearing his hazmat suit on the beach? That's so weird. I'm going to look like Taylor Lorenz going to the grocery store when I open that shit up. Got all my holes plugged up. Oh, shit. Jason looks like... Don't catch me at Gelson's in the fucking full suit, bitch. It's going to be like the Seinfeld boy in the bubble. Just two plastic arms coming out, turning the page. It's so funny. It's so funny. We haven't seen it. and like I said, I mean, if I really read the book, will that radicalize me? I can't let you do that.
2:57As far as all of the books out there in the world and the order in which you should read them in, he did rivalries coming in maybe dead last. Just because the TV adaptation is so popular and so easily available, I don't think it's... To quote Tupac,
3:13Jason Stewart:I don't want it if it's that easy, Chris. Of course, but I don't know if this is something you want bad enough, I guess. It is not. That's what I'm saying. It's one of those things. Is it funny to do something for science? We'll see about that. Yeah, I'm looking at Heated Rivalry, Paperback on eBay right now. I can get a Snagger for$15. And there's another one called Game Changer. Under$3. There's another book called Game Changer. Hell yeah. Which is from the same authoress. Authoress. I knew you were going to say it. You know me too well, Chris. You're already fucking... Okay, well, why don't we bundle them?
3:52Jason Stewart:So Game Changer, out of print, first edition, cover is$199. $1.99 or$199? No,$199. And then I can get the complete Heated Rivalry set, six paperback books, Game Changer, Heated Rivalry, Tough Guy, Common Goal, Role Model, and The Long Game. each book is about hockey players fucking and the cartoon the cover is like a bad ai cartoon it feels like a like a real canadian young author series that'll go for 250 dollars for all six you can get all six for and i want i wonder if the i wonder if the role model is signed by tucker himself because i feel like that's definitely where he got his name perhaps just based on wow this is great okay this is good to know i'm gonna i'm gonna set my search parameters um i know you were tuned in to the to the golden gloves on sunday where um thank you know the best part of that i think was was uh nikki glazer really putting the spikes in barry weiss while her boss was in the audience paying for the whole thing to happen i felt like on the cbs network that was beautiful i mean i think nikki glazer is really funny in that situation i think she's better at it than 99 of people but but especially that kind of thing is just because i read there's a whole uh friend of the show michael grinbaum and and his co-author wrote like a whole thing about that that newscast that went awry on cbs last week and how it's just all i read it this morning on the treadmill and how it's all being mishandled so the joke hit a little harder uh for me today that was about how they're they keep pulling stories and segments for 60 minutes well that but also well no yes but also they they had the guy the new uh the new kind of on-air talent but they fucked up the teleprompter, and they started crying, and he was talking about Marco Rubio, and it was just like a whole, it's like an insane, and it's like insane kind of the whole thing, so I think the screws are on over there at CBS, but I thought overall, I don't understand, I thought historically in award shows, when a movie or television show would win the award, they would show a clip, and then the music would come on, and they would walk, if you're the Skarsgård dad, you're walking from the back if you're timothy chalamet you're standing up and taking three steps but either way you're on the stage and this year they had those those the kind of classic red carpet guys doing play-by-play like it was fucking madden's nfl yeah and and it was um it was something special i have to say because the idea is kind of funny but it was it did not work i'll say that yeah the the play-by-play it does you know it does kind of make you feel dumber even though it's giving you more information and they're not doing a bad job at it.
6:42Jason Stewart:I was listening to The Watch on the Ringer Network and they were talking about it, how it is really bad and off-putting and just so strange when the Skarsgård dad will win an award and they'll play Lil Jon and Usher. Yeah. That part was cool. The music was amazing. For the seven and a half minutes it takes for him to shuffle his old ass up to the front of the stage and then the whole time this you know the psycho announcer people are dropping interesting fun facts sometimes that he yeah he had a hot dog for dinner and then sometimes they're like last you know timmy said thank you to his girlfriend uh at an awards last week will he do it again this week polymarket says there's a 67 percent chance that kind of stuff really enters the i want to be I want to be clear about that because there's a woman at GQ named Savannah who wrote a story about partner and how Timmy said partner and how stupid it is.
7:40And I want to stand with her on that. I think it's brave of her to come out and say that saying partner is stupid. But the question is. Is it brave? It is brave. For a woman? Yeah, it's brave. The question is, though. She's not like the other chicks. do you think that there was a team meeting over at chalamet headquarters when they're like all right kylie's gonna be at these shows we gotta figure out is it your girlfriend is it your partner like what like i think this was a calculated decision just like wearing chrome hearts uh at every every occasion i think this was i think they thought partner was gonna really land and let me tell you something kylie jenner of all people that's a chick that's that's my chick That's my chick.
8:25Maybe that's my girlfriend, but first and foremost, Kylie Jenner, if you're Timothee Chalamet, that's your chick. I mean, you have to agree. I know you agree. Well, he can't say that at the Golden Globes, though. I think at this point he could say whatever he wants. And I think people would be like, oh, my God, he's so cute. I think he's gotten to the point where he's risen above any sort of blowback for anything of that caliber, things that matter that much.
8:50Jason Stewart:Yeah, I mean, I think people might not like it, but he will not feel any negative effects. Exactly. His life will not change whatsoever because the amount of people who can go up on stage and say, you know what I'm saying? I just want to thank my chick for sticking through me. Only future can get away with that. Well, I mean, think about, look, in her past relationships, you don't think Tyga was saying, that's my chick? You don't think Travis Scott was saying, that's my chick? You think Travis Scott would get up there on the Grammy stage in his Nike sweatsuit and say, thank you to my partner? That's the other thing.
9:27When you say, they say partner without saying the name. It's like, bro, we all know it's Kylie Jenner. Just say my partner. It makes it even more weird.
9:34Jason Stewart:Yeah. But I think people have always been weird about thanking their spouses, partners, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives on award stages. No, of course. It's a weird thing that everyone always overthinks and bumbles. They either go to. No one ever sounds natural when they do it. I feel like you either go too hard and do 30 seconds about how they fucking blah, blah, blah, or you do something, like you're saying, you do a partner. And it's sort of like, yeah, you're right. There's no comfortable in between that feels successful. Everyone always just kind of fumbles it and just says, oh, thank you to the number one rock.
10:12Jason Stewart:They know who they are. She is. And my kids are upstairs watching. Love you guys. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, my rock. She knows who she is. If it's on Wikipedia. The camera is four feet away from her face, and she's crying and smiling. We all know who it is. It's kind of all gravy on that front, guys, ladies and gentlemen. But, yeah, I fell asleep some point, I think, after the Chalamet victory. But I don't think I missed anything, really. But I'm glad that award season's in full swing. Gives us something to talk about. it gives Mary Beth Barone and Kareem a job. So it's kind of, everybody's winning, really.
10:52Jason Stewart:Happy to see all of us eating. Everybody eats during awards season, especially Jonathan Anderson's Dior. But we do have a guest today. Sarah Sherman is a comedian. You know her from SNL. And her new special is on Netflix, I believe. Correct, Jason? Netflix? HBO. HBO, I'm sorry. HBO and HBO Max, of course. Sarah Squirm live and in the flesh is available everywhere you get your stream on I streamed it last night and I would bet my life savings that you did not make it to the end it is a brand of humor that I'm not super in love with but I love her as a I think I really and I want to talk to her about this but the sort of how SNL is leaning into her and making her sort of like regular and she's killing it, I think is a real range shower, which I'm very impressed by.
11:51Jason Stewart:When you say making her regular, do you mean putting her in a blonde wig? Yeah, like making her look like basically like a sorority girl nurse and she's still able to kill whatever that character is. And then all the dudes watching are like, wait a minute now. Yeah, hold on. Hey, hold on. Hold on. Hold on a second. Hold on a second real quick now. All right, let's give her a jingle. Okay. This episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by Squarespace.

I'm here to translate. Describe what is going on. Okay, so this is, you know that photo of where they found Whitney Houston's body in the hotel? This is the Beverly Hilton. Wait, hold on. Sarah, hold on, hold on. You can't just flash that. It looks like, and correct me if I'm wrong, it looks like you have a sink on your desk next to your computer. It's called a fucking dressing room, by the way. I've never been in one.
15:58It's called, look at those lights. That's how you know you're in a dressing room.
16:02Jason Stewart:Is this 30 Rock right here? This is 30 Rock. Put some respect on its name. Period. Okay, so you're saying you're washing your hands every 15 minutes between Cardi B jokes. No, literally. You're kind of getting it in. I'm always washing my eyes, actually. What's wrong with your eyes, big bro? You're getting sprayed. And I have to read cue cards. And I wear contacts. And we have to read cue cards. And I'm always getting sprayed. And I'm always having to wash my eyes. Sprayed, you mean like in a comedic sense? There's a spray. Okay, like you're getting slimed, let's say. I'm getting slimed. I'm getting blooded.
16:36Oftentimes I get blooded. And by the way, this often gets cut after dress. So yeah, I know you guys are keeping up with my sketches.
16:43Jason Stewart:So oftentimes you are constantly washing your eyes out, blood, vomit, et cetera. And most of it never even makes it to air is what you're saying. No, no. Selfless. Okay, your dressing room is giving thrift store peewee playhouse kind of vibe. Yeah, so how long have you been ignoring the eviction notices on the door? You know what is funny? This sink was filling with black slime from below. It wasn't coming out of the faucet. Black slime was filling from below. Was Jimmy Fallon washing his face off at the end of the night? What's going on in that building? This feels like Landman. All that black gold coming up from down below, bubbling brew.
17:25Didn't see it. I'm a girl. Didn't see it.
17:26Jason Stewart:Okay, it's an oil joke. It's for guys. That's a guy show. But everyone was like, oh, Sarah. I was like, hey, can someone help me? There's black slime coming up from my sink. And then everyone's like, you like that, right? And I'm like, let me have a quality of life that I deserve. Wait, you hypebeast streetwear fancy boys will like this. I bet you like that fucking sludge, you freak. Look, Bo and Yang got me fancy perfume. Is that from Loewe? It's from Bottega. Okay. It's from Bottega. And I knew y 'all fancy boys would know what type shit I'm on. Oh, that is type shit right there. Bottega, Veneta, baby.
18:08Jason Stewart:I don't want to break your heart. I don't want to break your heart, Sarah, but that was definitely given to him for free. No. And then he re-gifted it to you. No. I hate to be the one to tell you. I hate to be the one to tell you. Because another thing, I have my patchouli collection right fucking here. Okay? Right fucking here. and he added to it with a fancy one. So this is a Bottega Patchouli. Hype shit. Hype shit. Okay, so Bottega Patchouli. Fun two words. Yeah, Bottega Vanetta Patchouli. Bottega Vanetta Patchouli. I'll talk to my salesperson at Bottega and kind of have them pull up the records to see what the truth is here.
18:46But I'm glad. I want you to. Have Bowen produce a gift receipt. Yeah, exactly.
18:50Jason Stewart:Gift receipt at minimum. At minimum. It came in a bag. Oh. And I kept, by the way, my Jewish ass keeping the bag. This is, you know your girl's Jewish when she keeps the bag. I will say that living in New York. Or Asian. Those kind of bags come up often. As far as like needing them. Like I keep bags too because I need to take stuff out of the house and I don't want to, you know. I don't want to have a bag on me all day. I'm a man. So what do you, do you have plans for this Bottega green bag? Who's going to get it next year? No one's going to get it. That's what's interesting. there was a time when like i would collect all trash because i was like i might need this for like paper mache or something and i don't live that life anymore but yet it's still ingrained within me to keep trash oh my god wait look ariana grande gave me this is that a sex toy is that an aura ring what is that listen you're getting a lot from the five minutes i've angrily logged on and been crazy on this podcast i go oh my god you smell amazing what is that she goes here have it and it's her perfume by the way I was about to say I knew that was the next Grande by Ariana Grande type shit okay Grande by Ariana Grande even though it's muy pequeño it is muy pequeño it's a travel size just like her it's cute and small it's nice to be able to just move around with it okay so welcome thank you for doing the show I was listening to you on Mike Berbiglia's podcast yesterday in preparation okay and it was it was fun that he was pretending that he didn't know what a bbl was you didn't believe that right what what's that a bb is that like girls do girls i would believe he doesn't know about butts say more queen i just think i just that's kind of his i also like like he's giving virgin he's giving i think what he brought to the table that day it's like i think sometimes what i bring to the table is people are like sarah squirm like fucking you're twisted mine like i did um uh am radio like when you do comedy club type shit and your ticket sales are bad you have to do like the 6 a.m radio show like in the city to be like everybody come to the show whatever tale as old as time of course of course we're in hartford tonight.

Do you kind of swim in the Celsius waters, or do you stick to Red Bull? I'm going to say something that's going to end my career. Red Bull is gasoline for your intestines. Just going to let you know. But go ahead, please. But that's fine. That is fine. Because I need something. We all have our line. We all have our line. Unfortunately, it tastes like a 7-Eleven, but that's your problem, I guess.

I don't like any of that stuff. I feel like it does feel deeply unnatural, but if that works for you, I would also suggest there's stuff that you can, you know, there's cocaine, there's other stuff that's like a little better for you i am a prude i don't party i don't have fun i don't i'm

30:49It's porn. Honestly, if they just kissed passionately. We're two years away from that, by the way. It'd be the best ratings that show has ever gotten. Have you guys explored whether or not your podcast needs to do porn? Yeah, we were just talking about it, actually.
31:02Jason Stewart:I mean, we have to shut down offers on a weekly basis. Yeah, they're pitching. Those heated rivalry guys have gotten super busy, and they're looking for a replacement. It's more so just DMs from guys who are like, what if you kiss? Yeah, that's usually our normal. Can you take a photo where he's on your lap this time? Are you guys dating? We're married to women. Sorry. You make me sick. Sorry to disappoint. Yeah, we're just two straight guys, man. Just regular. You don't like women? What's up? Oh, don't let the bisexual haircut fool you. I am straight as well. Let's go. Yeah, actually, speaking of, I was watching your special.
31:40Thank you, by the way. Thank you.
31:43Jason Stewart:Of course, of course. No, but let me just say, I'm going on these fucking podcasts being like, you know, I'm boots on the pavement. I'm hooves to the grindstone trying to get people to watch this fucking special. I'm doing, listen, you guys aren't special. I'm doing every podcast in town. Hey, Sarah, I want to be clear. We've been talking for over a year to schedule you on how long gone. We're a little special, Sarah. Come on. You're a slippery little bitch. I am. Um, I will get, by the way, guess what's on the other side of that door? What? Colin Jost? Finn Wolfhard. Okay? Finn. Oh, wow. Finn.
32:18Finn. I'm, as soon as I crawl my tiny little ass, no, sorry, it's huge. I'm a fog. As soon as I crawl my wide ass out of that door, I'll be shooting a promo with Finn Wolfhard. Okay? So you get to be in the promo with Finn Wolfhard. I'm a little busy. No, I understand you're busy. I'm a little slippery. Who is the musical guest with Finn? a sap rocky okay okay is he in the promo with you as well he it's it's the other kind of promo there's two kinds sure i've watched promos before there's like the one that's like funny sketch to promote the show that week and then there's the one where it's like the musical guest the host and the snl cast members standing like execution style that's my favorite one that's my favorite they don't let me do that one as much well yeah well i mean whenever it's like a rapper the
33:08Jason Stewart:they don't really get too jokey jokey with it. They're, you know, rappers are never too improv with the SNL promo. He's so jokey though. I think he's trying to, I think he wants to break into that world more than most. He's doing like shoegaze indie rock. Oh, we've heard it. And nothing more silly Billy than shoegaze, right? Nothing says, ha ha ha. That's a goofball. I will say, and I just wanted to say this before you guys rudely cut off the female narrative. I've done a lot of podcasts recently. I appreciate that you've watched it. Many have not. Many. Right, right, right. Many. Well, let me say this as someone who hasn't watched it.
33:49Right. No. And what do you think it is like? I think because we see you every week on television, that I do feel like it's like, well, I know her. That ain't me. I see you on television. I mean, I've seen you on television before. That's Sarah Sherman.
34:07Jason Stewart:This special is more of your final form, and it is too hot for TV. You're saying you have two personalities. You're bipolar. Yes. You have multiple personality disorder. Yes. You see Sarah Sherman on TV. That special is Sarah Squirm. You leave the blonde wig at home when it's squirm time. Is there a secret third thing that you haven't revealed to the world yet? Sarah Normal. Oh. What is - Well, Sarah Normal activity is the blonde wig, Sarah. Sarah Normal activity. Activity is good. I was talking about this on the intro. I like that the powers that be have sort of just tried to kind of, they've made you a regular hot chick on TV now.
34:47Jason Stewart:What if we made you fuckable this week? They dim your freak light, and you seem to thrive in that, I will say. Well, people are like, it's that classic thing when a man goes like, wait, without your glasses, did you know that you're beautiful? When Freddie Prinze Jr. tells you, wow, when you take your hair out of a bun, and you're like, oh, shit, you're actually fuckable. It's so interesting to me because it's like, y 'all thought I was wearing clown suits because I thought I couldn't pull it off. Who do you think can pull it off, by the way? Good point. Good point. A cute little thing. Good point.
35:20But do you think, have you seen a different response from men out in the world now that they've seen you as like a blonde sorority chick at the restaurant? Even my own boyfriend, sometimes I'll have my friends hanging out in my dressing room during the show. And I'll come into the dressing room in costume and everyone's like, oh, wow. My boyfriend was like, whoa. I'm like, what do you mean, whoa?
35:46Jason Stewart:And he's like, nothing. I mean, I have to go. Nothing, babe. You always look good. I like that we live in Bushwick. I like the rat tail. It's good. When it gets in my mouth, it's awesome. I would say regardless of your walking around look, you are more different than the average bear out in the world. But you throw a blonde wig on anyone who doesn't have blonde hair, and it's going to be a woe. You know what I mean? No, I look amazing. Just let me have that. You do. Let me have that. Of course you look very amazing. But do you think – Now, has your inbound started banging different once the powers that be in Hollywood have seen you look like this?
36:25Are the role – Let me be – Is it like you versus Kristen Bell now?
36:29Jason Stewart:Is it different? Let's get this chick in the mouth of an anaconda. She's a baddie. Let me be fucking frank. I have not seen one ingenue part slip into the inbox. And for that, I'm calling anti-Semitism. Yeah, it feels like it. It feels like it. It feels like it. There's nothing I could. Yeah, I mean, that's the only answer I see. With everything going on in the world, how could it not be? With everything going on, I look too Jewish to be 28. Tell me I look 28. Actually, I didn't know how old you were. So 28 works for me With my sunglasses on and hat on inside How old do you think I am? You're probably like 31 I'll allow it How old are you?
37:0730 fucking 2 You should allow that That's really sweet of you How old do you think I am? I think the both of you are two gay guys in a married relationship And you're both 37 We'll really take it I'm 43 Grandpa's like pushing 45 I think Let's go Because you guys got the puppy filters on. People don't hear on the podcast. They have the Snapchat puppy filters. We do try to disguise. It's true. We try to disguise. So what's your favorite lunch near Rock Center? Oh. Which Chopped are you going to? Dude, I've been kind of going crazy on Just Salad. Okay, Jason, are you familiar with Just Salad?
37:47Jason Stewart:I know about Just Salad because they have soups too, right? Don't you fucking dare. Don't you. by the way it's the middle of winter by the way the genius they're up off the boardroom they're like what the fuck do we call this place I have no and someone goes I don't know it's just fucking salad and they go take the fucking out we're in business dog you're hired boing boing boing alright so just salad I've never been there I've been to most of the other fast casual chopped sweet green kava but what makes just salad superior for you a woman a busy woman I think just salad they let animals in there as well as humans to hit the trough, right?
38:27Jason Stewart:Don't talk about Sarah like that. She's a human being. I'm not, I'm not. Don't talk about wet slop bowls like that. I've just seen other just solid locations and it seems like there's a separate entrance for humans and one for animals. They just opened. Let me be fucking frank. There's a vegan feta. Like... God, Noah, who wants that? Vegans don't even want that. Put it in parks. Hop up. Hey! Do you know what it's made out of? Is it made out of cashew? Violife. Don't know what that means.

This sounds like the nastiest salad on earth. What do you put in this salad? What on earth could you concoct? I just Googled it.
42:12Romaine. This is the one that they have that I like. It's called Dirt Candy. So I'm listening. Romaine. Check. Arugula. Check. Sesame tofu. Check. Shaved broccoli. Check. Cucumber. Best vegetable. Period. Check. Tagin spiced pumpkin seeds. Skrr. pepperoncini, skurt, skurt, olives, skurt, skurt, vegan ranch dressing. I don't do that. I do the balsamic vinaigrette and we're out.
42:43Jason Stewart:That sounds pretty good, actually. I'm down with that. Yeah, that doesn't sound bad. But the tofu preparation matters because some of these slot bowl places get it right. Some get it wrong. It's not about that. It's about the pepperoncini. It's about the olives. If you're wondering - Pepperoncini is only something that I see when it comes free with a Papa John's pizza. No one's eating that by choice. What are you absolutely talking about? Who eats that by choice? You want that chopped up? I spent some time in Chicago not to be like this. I lived in Chicago for eight years not to be like this. It comes up.
43:14Jason Stewart:Yeah. It's like a jardinier situation. Yes. The pepperoncini is in heavy play, but it's a nice accoutrement, I would say, less of a fundamental element of a salad, but that's just how much of a twisted bitch you are. What do you think? I know you're not paying for it, but what's this salad hitting for when you send the intern down to grab it? I'm sorry. You think I'm not. When the page goes to grab it, what else is that hitting for? You think I'm not paying for it? I mean, I think it may come out of your check. They don't pay us here, girl. That's why we're pushing the special, huh? I can tell by your dressing room that you don't get paid very much, but I thought they would at least cover lunch.
43:53No. Wow. They keep you skinny. They keep you hungry. They keep you alert. There's no food. they do not feed you we get mcdonald's tonight at midnight they put out 300 like trump hamburger style whenever he did that they put out 300 mcdonald's hamburgers and fries and then you just see all the little the writers come out because it's writing night tonight all the writers come out and start putting their doo-doo hands all over the food and so i don't eat the mcdonald's on writing night because you've seen it's been touched by the normies yeah okay so the
44:28Jason Stewart:longest running most successful television show of all time they're kind of running it like a fema camp over there yes well what is the okay so what is the hour on a writing night because the the hours at saturn live are you know historically awful i guess for people who don't like to grind so what is this yeah this long night that you speak of what do we what time do you get there what time do you leave i just got here right now to do this radio play um and then i'll be shooting do you want to hear my day actually. With love. Make a meal of it. A day in the life of a pog. Let's go. Eyes peel open at 9am.

You're a 32 year old pog dating a student. this is hot he's fun employed he's fun i'm a milf he's broke let's go i he makes coffee i'm smiling then i crawl my ass over to my second day of the week for lying on the couch like this psychoanalysis then i hop on the train i crack open my sci-fi book that i'm addicted to right now book of the new sun shadow of the torture clogged the conciliator. Jesus Christ. I'm praying for you. Then I stomp my Rick Owens boots up to the, I thought you guys would like that, up to the night made Lauren buy these for my birthday.
46:09We make no money. Check out my Rick Owens boots. No! I made Lauren get the, Lauren gets us birthday presents every year. Do you think Lauren went? He said, give me the Ricks. Imagine Lauren, I would love to see Lauren inside the Rick Owens store interfacing with the staff there. That's a fun idea i'll have um i'll have the harness the leather harness is there a warranty for this boot
46:29Jason Stewart:all right so you're on the train you get you you get i stomp up to my dressing room i log stomping in those air force they're so heavy i'm basically burning what's your password on your computer i want to tell you because it's so funny i bet but i can't because it's my password to everything but i want i'm telepathically telling you guys can i mouth it to you guys or we can bleep we bleep often i'm gonna write it on a notes app that's better than i could have ever imagined honestly i really want it's manifesting right right and every time i change it i will refrain from making jokes and it doesn't work get people off on the scent of what it is i don't want you to be a victim of cyber hacking.
47:19Jason Stewart:I want to let the audience know it's something I'm really, really against. Right. And I will say if people are like, oh, let's hack so we can get her nudes out. There are no nudes. I do not do that. Disgusting. I don't want to see that. There's nothing in the Bank of America. There's nothing in the XXX folder. There's no reason for you to hack me at all. Okay. Then I log on to the Zoom. Okay? The minute this ends, I'm going to go shoot a promo. for the whatever it's the script is hilarious wonder if it changed whatever i have to be in hair and makeup obviously for five and a half hours then after that it's writing night i go try to write a so then i'll probably shoot that till 3 p.m then from 3 to 8 i will be in a blind panic knocking on every door in the office begging someone on my hands and knees to write a sketch with me i have written out 25 sketch ideas for the week wow can we go over like two of them and maybe we can help workshop um do you want to hear the one i pitched out loud that literally like it was kind of a joke but nobody laughed so it's um it's the pit like the hbo hospital show the pit it's a spinoff of the pit but it takes place um in cleveland so it's called the clit okay so that's kind of it and then you're saying that you're saying that didn't kill as they say no bites can you can you do that on nbc even though it's late night can you say you um clit that that much that prominently you can't okay you literally can't i didn't think you you get good to know every every time you have a sketch on the show you get like an email from like the FCC person, the standards and practices person that's like, hey, you can't say dick or you've said ass too much or whatever, whatever.
49:15One time I got just a note for a sketch that was in the show that made it to air. That was the entire sketch is too misogynist.
49:28Jason Stewart:It's got it's got Sherman stank all over it. It's misogynist. they're like it's just it's unfit for television the jokes and it was about a sex doll called fugliana for fugly guys i remember that i think it's funny all right so you're all right so you're you're begging your co-workers to collaborate with you for five hours going door to door please sir can you help me write a sketch you're yeah you're a jehovah's witness looking for collaborators yeah i mean usually i'll write my problem i'll write the sketch and then be like is anyone interested and everyone's like no talking about another thing i've written down here you know dungeons and dragons about onions and dragons could be something what about it that could be something let me tell you right now no one's i mean jewish people like onions a lot right exactly no one's gonna want to collaborate on the sci-fi stuff have we maybe something a little more topical the globes just happen you know super bowl's going on we want to think big picture the super bowl's going on football it's the super bowl the nfl playoffs are happening right now we're about to this you know these are just big things that are happening in the world so football football is a sport that goes pretty way like it's pretty popular in this country i don't know if you're from i literally won't know about something and then like i'll find out because someone wrote a sketch about it right right right so at your snl is your news it's my news that's a beauty that's the beauty of the job to me that's so you watch weekend update and you're like oh good to know trouble in the middle east wouldn't i think you guys should do like a cbs sketch where you play barry weiss i think that'd be really i think that's actually that's a freebie i think you can do a barry on me i i could probably do a barry because i listen i've also you're jewish so you have the pass.
51:19Jason Stewart:You got the J-pass. Wait, what happened with her? What happened? See, there's no sketch yet so I don't really know. Okay, so she's like a woman that everyone says is like acting only on behalf of Israel and their dark interests. She was appointed to run CBS News. Everyone hates her. She's doing a bad job. She had a very popular... It's like queer. She worked at the New York Times and then she left to start one of the highest grossing sub-stacks called the Free Press. Right. Shea Liz, too. Shea Liz, too. Listen, this is none my business. This is none my beeswax. Okay, well. We're trying to give you some ideas that might appeal to the audience, not your little sci-fi shit.
52:02What happened to Onion? Well, let's see what else I got.
52:04Jason Stewart:So nothing for Onions and Dragons at all, huh? Okay. Okay. I mean, it could be like an awesome blossom at Chili's, like an onion, you know, the Bloomin' Onion. there we go this still isn't working for me but go ahead you know for like a sci-fi Chili's angle cause that's really hot both of those things are super hot super popular topical stuff hey what can I get y 'all started you know this is the Phoenix Arizona obviously Chili's hey what can I get y 'all started with you want Diet Cokes, you want Bloomin' Onions you want the claw of the conciliator you want the Terminus S largest sword that can only be weaponized by either a Torturer's Guild member so that's kind of what's going on in my book right now that's it's a little more kind of Bushwick open mic sketch play Jason think of A$AP Rocky doing it though and then you'll see it period okay also you guys keep forgetting that it's Finn Wolfhard is hosting okay yeah but I know that A$AP Rocky is going to be in a sketch he's so he has the perfect face have you ever seen his little thirsty ass wants to be in Hollywood he's going to be in a little sketch he did that movie with Denzel He did, if I had legs, I'd kick you.

So my guys are - Who are you guys, man? Weird Al Yankovic. You do, though. You do seem like a chick who would have been at hardcore shows, though.
54:49I got to say.
54:49Jason Stewart:You were going to lightning bolt shows at RISD, something like that? Yeah. You definitely saw lightning bolt. Oh, don't. Hey, excuse me. Have some respect for my Slayer tattoo, my friends. Have some fucking respect. Wow, she's raining in blood. She's south of heaven. So you know, you've been to a gathering that straight edge, hot straight edge guys were at, I assume. Oh, wow. With the death poster over there. Okay. So this is where you should do the pit angle where it's like, it's a hospital, but all the doctors are just like metal heads. Yeah. That's good. It's like a headbangers ball meets a hospital show.
55:23I really like that.
55:25Jason Stewart:Headbangers ball meets nurse Jackie. And it's just like nurse Jackie splitting open blood bags. I think nurse Jackie was on pills. so it kind of works against the straight edge angle, but I don't want to interrupt the process. The doctor is doing open heart surgery. He's got an RIP dime bag shirt on underneath his scrubs. Well, Noah Wiley would look, he would fit in perfectly at one of these reunion tours. Honey, he'd fit in anywhere. Hello. Hello. Oh, his wife is hot too. He's got like a hot family. I'm happy for him. Yeah, you think he'd have a fugly wife? He's stunning. What are we talking about?
55:59Jason Stewart:Sometimes when guys - Do you have doctor kink? um no as a jewish person you know it's kind of actually i i have like the jewish person if someone's too jewish i'm like i can't what are you my cousin you know what i'm saying don't talk about don't talk about know me fry like that you know that's a that's a mutual friend of ours and i that's my cousin you're actually you guys are actually cousins okay actually speaking of of that it reminded me of something you said on the special where you were you were talking about Thank you. Thank you, Jason. You mentioned, I can't, like, here's an impression of the audience trying to find a single joke in this.
56:37So he made it for the first five minutes. Great.
56:40Jason Stewart:But I wanted to point out that right before you said that, you said a perfect fastball, like, street joke, which was Jewish people should be more into free Palestine because it's free. Yes. That's just, like, to me. So I wanted to follow up. is that joke sound enough for a non-Jewish person to say and get away with it? Yes. I think it is. And the joke used to be longer and then I was like I can't be too hard about this because it is a genocide. And Jesselnik was like just shorten it bro and it worked out. And then he was like what if there was like a dead baby or something? And then what if you throw a baby down the stairs and fucking die?
57:27Jason Stewart:And you're like, no, this is not. Okay, sorry, go ahead. Because I was like, I was worried about that joke because I was like, it is kind of too real. But what was it? Oh, so you can have this. You can take this. You're not Jewish? No. You're not Jewish? I'm often confused for one. Are you Italian? No, I'm like a little Spanish, a little white, a little Native American. Put it together. Don't do this. Oh, he couldn't wait to tell us about the Native American part. He couldn't. Why? No, trust me. He brings it up every chance he gets. Of course I buried the lead. Do you know how many times I've heard this?
58:00Do you know how many times I've suffered through this?
58:01Jason Stewart:I guess I just have a little native in me. Or whatever. I'm a cool Jew. I believe in a free Palestine. Of course I do. I'm Jewish and it's free. Honey, I'd settle for a BOGO Palestine. So I did cut. I did cut BOGO. That's good. But I didn't say that because I don't believe that. I actually wouldn't settle for a BOGO. I was like, you know what? Even though that joke is funny, I don't believe that. So I won't say it. I'm glad that you're keeping it 100 with yourself. With the first special under your belt, I think you're only going to get more simplified, the economy of words, really get into that Shane Gillis level where you're going to be doing stadiums.
58:38Jason Stewart:And I think we're on the way. I'm going to strip down. It's going to be Sarah. I should do a Sarah Normal special. Blonde wig, shirt, pants. Shirt, pants. No set. All right, so we're going to wear clothes on the special. Got it. Yep. That is super norm-maxing, I guess. You know what? You wouldn't know hide nor hair about what I do on stage, Chris, because you haven't seen a frame. You wouldn't even know. I've seen a frame. I've seen a frame. Nary a frame. Chris said he's a one. I'm going to go first 20. Why'd you tap out? Because I don't like comedy like that, really. Dude, I opened up the fucking pit.
59:14You tapped the fuck out. I think that I'm such a fan of your work. that maybe I'll You don't want to sully it. Well, I wasn't going to say that. I'm saying maybe now that we've interacted in a more real way, I can go back and view it differently. You know, it's not... I will say the last eight minutes is a noise set. Does that appeal to you at all? Sweetwater? My Sweetwater rep be calling.
59:40Jason Stewart:It's an ambience. This is the joke. I said that because... This is Brad from Sweetwater. I just want to make sure your cable came through. Jason gave me a new cable from Sweetwater for my mic I got him the Rolls Royce of XLR cables for Christmas. I mentioned this to Katie. I mentioned this to Wax Hatch, and she was like, Jason's fucked. I'm like, why? She's like, that guy's never going to stop calling him. I'm like, he only bought a single cable. She's like, it doesn't matter. No, it's true. I get a call a week from Sweetwater. But the problem is, I like it. I like it, too. I love it. Because the first time you called, he's like, hey, I saw that you bought this as a gift.
1:00:13Jason Stewart:And this was right before Christmas. I was just going to get him a new cable. It wasn't like a Christmas thing. We went ahead and bumped it up and gave you free two day shipping so it'll arrive before the new year. I'm like, thanks Brad from Sweetwater. You're marrying the lead again. It comes with candy, bro. I was very excited about that because all my musician friends had told me that. And then I got the candy. I gotta say, it's the cheapest, shittiest candy on earth. No, come on! It's an assortment! Free candy needs to be Hershey's products. I don't want this budget shit. Wait, there's a Snickers?
1:00:48Isn't there usually like a Snickers? No, I got some off-brand gobbledygook.
1:00:51Jason Stewart:All right, guys, let's get back to the special. I don't like us derailing too far away from your special. Well, this relates, I was going to say. Because I, okay, this is why I like Sweetwater. Because I'm like, I'm going, I'm getting my pedal rig on Sweetwater. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you heads might like this. Guess who put that pedal rig together? Dan10tricks. Does that entice you to finish the special? Chris. I don't care about pedal boards but I'm glad that you have one. You do. You're edge dude. You fucking do. You want to ask me about my rig. Chris is on r slash turnstile checking out pedal board pics.
1:01:28Jason Stewart:Fucking loser. What is your, what guitar, I mean but you're not playing, are you playing a Les Paul? Are you playing a Stratik? What are we playing? I'm playing my mouth. She's playing the Seinfeld theme song. How much did it cost to license the Seinfeld theme song really quick? Let's just say my Jewish ass got it on sale. You got it for the load? Speaking of Free Palestine, Did you text Jerry? He, I wonder if he knows that he's in the special. I'd be curious. I don't think it's made its way to him. I think 20 % chance. Okay, well, I know you have a hard out, so I have a couple questions I didn't want to forget.
1:01:59No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. Can I tell you?
1:02:01Jason Stewart:Yeah. Why can't I tell you? So I bought my rig on fucking Sweetwater, and Brad calls me, and he goes, Sarah, I see that you're going on tour. He'll keep up with me and go, I see that you're going on tour. Do you need any help from us? And I go, I know this is business, but I am so touched that you. You're like, oh my God, it's selling so well. And I do use a high gauge base string. So if you have anything that could work in that area. But Brad never crosses the line where he's like, hey, I see you're in Albuquerque room 1701 tonight. Do you need any help? You know, like it doesn't cross too far.
1:02:37Jason Stewart:Do you need any help getting out of that shirt or anything like that? He could. I'd drop the pin. I'd be like, hey. Sarah, I went ahead and I upgraded you to Delta One. I pulled some strings over there. You're like, give me... Okay, so you know, a friend of ours, Matt Bellany, he does a podcast called The Town. They talk about industry Hollywood shit and he would always complain. Has he mentioned me? I only have Peacock because I watch SNL and whenever you go on Netflix or HBO or anything, the one show you watch, it pops up there. Do you want to, you know, and Peacock never does that for SNL. It's always hard to find.
1:03:15Jason Stewart:It's always a pain in the ass. How many letters do you think you have to type in on, or I typed in on HBO for your special to come out? Let me be real. The answer may shock you. You have to get after the, you have to get after the Q and squirm. Okay. I literally typed in S, A, and it was the second thing to pop up. Fucking let's go. Second, hold on. He said second. Yeah, but that's huge. Just to make it, there's, they'll, they'll be like, here's 10 different things. It was like the first one was like a very famous old movie you know whatever. I don't know. Saved by the Wind and then boom Sarah Sherman.
1:03:52Salo. It was Salo.
1:03:54Jason Stewart:Saved by the Wind is a nice alt. It was Saw 14 and then Sarah Scorner. And by the way, trigger warning, he did say S.A. Sorry for our listeners listening. Do you think that okay, here's my thing. I don't know what S.A. is. What is that? Sexual assault, Jason. Come on. I was just baiting you guys. I know what that was. I don't know. You listen to Joe Budden, but I don't know how much you listen. You guys are all into it. So the first week it came out on HBO, of course, you pull it up on your TV and you're like, oh, it's on the homepage, whatever. It was the first week. It was like near holidays and it was ninth most watched movie after Polar Express.
1:04:38That's crazy because it's not a movie. So that's big. But you didn't watch the last eight minutes, so you wouldn't know that it's a fucking movie. It's a motion picture. It's a movie. Wouldn't you say it's a movie?
1:04:49Jason Stewart:Just like any movie that comes out nowadays. It could have been shorter. No, I'm just kidding. Well, I cut out half an hour. Thank you. Thank you for that. Thank you for that. The streets, thank you. Because they're like, we can't even take an hour of this. 1.30 is psycho. HBO came back and said, you got 45. because this is just, we're pushing it. Ronnie Bronstein goes, have you ever heard Leave Them Want More? I go, never in my life. I never. Not one single time. That rule applies even more to like vagina lips. Nope. He didn't even get to that part. He didn't even see it. Well, you have a nasty little mouth on you and sometimes it pushes me too far.
1:05:34I'm a southern prude. I get, you know, sometimes your language, much like rappers, it's just too much for me. I can only take so much. And you don't like rap or country. No, I love country. They say the kind of bad stuff I like.
1:05:47Jason Stewart:Okay. How much more money did you spend than if you were to just film a normal standup set like Marc Maron? Just the budget is a stool and a glass of water. Don't forget about those rings he wears. Those are expensive. That. Model zone. The budget got stretched. That was a That got stretched Prolapsed Fucking speculum That got stretched I said I mean I was like do as much Paper mache on those eyeballs as you can y 'all We got Some more mache less AI No AI was used Paper mache It is an anti CGI and anti AI special Oh congratulations you're living in the past When do we think we'll see some profits from this, ever?
1:06:36Or do you think this is more of a labor of love? I don't think anyone has seen it. Has anyone seen it? You mean the special or the profits? I'm like, well, the profits would come from like, okay, I announce a tour tomorrow. And then everybody buys tickets to it. But I'm on a minor touring hiatus. So I haven't announced any tour. I'm curious what will happen. So you have some dates maybe in the chamber. but you're waiting to release because you're currently on hiatus.
1:07:04Jason Stewart:And we know that SNL famously doesn't pay, so you're going to have to go Bowen Yang route, start a podcast with your gay bestie, and then start doing bit roles in Bridesmaids 14, and that's when the money starts chugging in. Let me tell you something. If you want to say something about Jasmine Crockett, we'll give you the platform right now. I don't have a podcast because I have nothing interesting to say. Doesn't matter. That's the thing you need the least. What are you talking about? Neither does Bowen, but that's why he has a partner, and then it all comes together. Yeah, that's why I have Jason.
1:07:32I have nothing to say. I don't care if it's the only... I get it. It's the only way anyone makes money in this fucking town. Put me in a ditch, penniless. I won't do it. I think if somebody came to you with the right deal, you would probably do it.
1:07:48Jason Stewart:Even though it's available as an award category on the Golden Globes now, it hasn't been legitimized enough for you yet? Wouldn't it feel good to whip Poehler's ass? Wouldn't it feel good her old ass back in the below the jail where she belongs you know what I do fuck Mel Robbins on God though that's on crit go ahead who's that exactly she's another golden globe nominated podcaster one other question I know you got Finn I guess speaking of Finn have you been around long enough how many seasons you been on SNL now it's been what four and a half so let's say you've been around in the public eye for the last five years no famous recurring characters to speak of.
1:08:29We're working on it.
1:08:30Jason Stewart:I'm feeling good about the pit. No, in Brooklyn you're famous though. Don't do that. Okay, so have you been around long enough and been in the public eye with a boyfriend long enough for the lesbians to know you're straight and they're not trying to tap that as much as they may have been when you first came out on the scene? I feel like I've been very clear from day one. I know, but there's still you know, I'm sure Sydney Sweeney has been very clear she doesn't want to fuck football players but nevertheless the dms are still blowing up you know what i mean so are are some of america's top lesbians trying to slide into your shit no one slides you're telling me that you're telling me that chris shell from selling sunset has not dmd you once no one's you i'm gonna tell you guys can't you're not gonna say this out loud okay but i'm gonna i'm gonna tell you guys my top slide are you ready yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:09:20And just like remark on how elite this is.
1:09:28I mean, he is a lesbian. Is that the most major slide you've ever seen? But was it a clear, now it was a clear like what's really good. It wasn't, you're not misinterpreting this. It was crass. Wow. It was quite crass. So he said, let me beat it up. Yeah. At 30 Rock. Yeah. Okay. He said, are the back walls beckoning Silent Hill style or whatever? I don't know how people talk.
1:09:58Jason Stewart:He would bring up Silent Hill in the slide because he knows that'll probably work on you. Honestly, that is amazing. And I don't know what I expected, but that was not it. So some A-list dick is being thrown at you is what you're saying. But that's the kind. So it's not like, it's not, you guys think it's going to be the gays? It's something quite different. Yeah, it's more of an incel vibe. Yes, yes. Man, I can't wait to tell everyone that off record. Just kidding, just kidding. Yeah, that's really good. You can. I'm definitely telling everyone. I'm sure you've told everyone. I haven't told anyone who will listen, just not on a podcast.
1:10:30Yeah, how could you not? It's the brag of the century. Are those blue light glasses before we go? How dare you? How fucking dare you? Not on the fucking streetwear podcast are you going to say these are blue light transitions. By the way. I love that you're calling us this streetwear podcast where you wear an acne beanie and Rick Owens boots, and we're wearing regular shit. Well, by the way, check the fit. I got vintage Moschino jeans, girl. I got a shirt I stole from costume, girl. I got the rowing blazer fleece sent to me for free, girl. That matches the fucking pants, girl. Nobody should pay for that.
1:11:06Jason Stewart:You have a Beetlejuice fit. You have a Beetlejuice fit right now. Yeah, you're looking like Beetlejuice at the Barney's Warehouse sale. These are my Robert Mitchum blackout drunk on the Dick Cavett show wearing sunglasses and sides. They are transitioning darker right now. No. As the day progresses. They're not transitioning. They're transitioning. Look, the beginning of the pod, crystal clear. No. Now as the sun has gone down one hour, they are a darker red. I want to be clear. Sarah Sherman transitioned on our podcast. I just want to be very, very clear. On my first SNL paycheck, what did I buy?
1:11:43Giant mattress. What was the second thing I bought? First time in my life, prescription sunglasses. I go, I'm fucking rich now, bitch. It's big. I can get prescription fucking sunglasses. So yeah, I wear them inside.
1:11:54Jason Stewart:Living in the lap of luxury. I agree. That's big. So have I been the best podcast guest you guys have ever had? Yeah, we'll let the numbers show once we get that kind of going. You have been a delight this whole time. You went absolutely beast mode and we appreciate you. I can't wait to try to stay up till midnight and fail and then watch some clips of you this weekend on YouTube on Sunday morning. Finish the special now. I'll finish the special. Yes, mommy. Because I like, I think this honest exchange between artist and viewer is great for everyone to hear. I am not too proud to beg. I have, I will, I will beg.
1:12:31Okay. Watch it, please. Do you think your coworkers have watched it? Be honest. did I have a premiere where I said get y 'all's butts
1:12:41Jason Stewart:there did Michael Che watch it he actually was the one person who wasn't there because I was about to say there's no way that Chloe Fineman is taken off from going to the Tory Burch show to watch your special front row the entire cast barking like a dog the whole hour every single one of my cast members front row supportive. Sarah has done it again. Okay. And I'm sure Lauren was there too, right? He was not, but he is an executive producer. Yeah, tell us what... He's got to get his claws into everything, doesn't he? Tell us what an executive producer does, if you could, Sarah, if you don't mind.
1:13:20Just breaking it down. They go, put on that blonde wig that makes you gorgeous, darling. Do you want to hear the best Letterboxd review I got on my special? I didn't know they did that for comedy. Oh, I read every single one. Half Star. this comedy special is equivalent to torture porn yes it's that bad this is worse than any genocide ever in history yes all of them this is the pinnacle of unfunny i cannot believe there are full-grown adults grown as shit laughing uncontrollably at this bro pathetic all right
1:13:53Jason Stewart:well don't reveal my username because i want to keep that to myself so your your artwork is divisive is what I'm learning. Yes. Worse than any genocide ever in history. So better to read the letterbox and stay away from those toxic YouTube reviews. Oh, all right, Sarah. Thank you for joining us. It was a pleasure. The special's on HBO now. Go watch her special on HBO right now. Squirm. Just type in S-A into your Google and she will pop right up. Just type S-A and then, yeah, we'll look out for you this weekend. I really hope you get something on the air. They'd be big for you. The pit. The clit.
1:14:31Yeah, if you want to brainstorm later, just holler at me. We'll send you a mixtape to write the pit to kind of get in the zone, if that would help you at all.
1:14:41Jason Stewart:You already have the Slayer attack. You're already there. My inbox is open. Well, don't worry. I'll send you some Revelation Records releases that will maybe hit a little harder for you. Awesome. Thanks, Sarah. Thanks, Sarah. Bye. Nice meeting you guys. Later. Yeah, you too. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. I'll see you smiling. Watch your spinters lie so deep in your mind. To tear out from your eyes with a thought to stiff and brooding lies. And only what you leave me further behind. Monster Energy. Everybody knows White Monster, Zero Ultra. That's the OG. It kicked off this whole zero sugar energy drink thing.
1:15:30But Ultra is a whole lineup now. You've got Strawberry Dreams, Blue Hawaiian, Sunrise, and Vice Guava. And they all bring the monster energy punch.
