    I did not have high expectations for this week's pod because it wasn't even about a short, but the three of them making fun of Jorma for 50 minutes about saunas and crying made this episode probably the funniest one they've done. You can tell Andy is a lot more engaged in the pods over the last 4-5 weeks now that they're actually releasing them and clearly getting a lot of good feedback from their friends who are listening to it.

    Completely agree. Best one yet and possibly my favorite current pod. Just absolutely delightful

    Its got to be weird recording like 8 eps in a row without any feedback on whether they are good or people want it or not. Getting to live is really helpful for the whole show.

    I think it was more like the first 15 episodes and they taped them over a period of what sounded like 12-18 months. It wasn't until the last 8-10 where they finally seemed to start recording on a regular basis. I'm hoping they can keep churning them out like this every week going forward when they get busier again.

    It's funny that they have to bleep "dick" but are allowed to have it written on the stall with no problem

    I feel like it's hinting that they are very close to a new album. Pod tomorrow and next week should be interesting.

    The lack of recognition applause from the audience is also crazy to me. I would have been losing my shit in the audience if that Digital Shorts banner popped up.

    Didn’t you listen to the pod where they said the video is played on a small screen so the crowd often has a limited view of it?

    I did, and I doubt the size of the screens was the difference here.

    Not just hanging, he’s just kinda shoved Jorma to the back. Every “behind the scenes” interaction in other places I’ve seen with him makes him look like a pretty great dude, too.

    I think it is for me just based on how catchy the damn chorus is, the lyric “I’m calling the the pigs on a fellow white”, and the pug handcuffs.

    It's catchy as hell and I'm thrilled it exists, but it's not a top 6 seed in a Digital Shorts bracket, IMO. Sushi Glory Hole has a better resume.

    I didn’t get that sense. I feel like generally they go out of their way to highlight Jorms brother, SNL staff, whoever helps them

    Maybe out of his way is the wrong way to say it. He made 2 comments that I noticed. I agree with you in general, which is why I noticed it. Maybe those comments were just in that inclusive sense here as well, but they perked my ears up.

    Earlier today I saw a video that had Stephanie Diaz singing Encanto. It made me think of her singing this and it was stuck in my head for a good 3 hours.
