Corrections.
Episode 169, Week of Monday, March 16th, 2026.
A lot of people wondering why Andy is not answering the phone when I call him.
Some people positing were in the middle of some sort of feud.
I assure you that's not the case, there's actually a very innocent explanation.
He did answer the phone last week when I called, but he was near a gas pump at a gas station
and he burst into flames.
That's what the trades are calling Frisbee's Revenge.
I asked him to send me a voice note.
I basically realized he's just not going to answer the thing.
I said, look, the jackals feel like your Nick Cage sounds like you're Alph, so send
me a voice note where you're Nick Cage saying an Alph line and then Alph saying Nick Cage
line and we can see how that goes.
I think the best, because I just got this, I'm just going to hold it up here and play it.
Okay, first off, that's very offensive.
They're super different and I'm going to prove it now.
Here's Nick Cage.
I'm going to eat the cow and here's Alph.
I'm going to steal the declaration of independence, no problem in your face, jackals.
Nice conclusion, a nice conclusion.
Nina Levin.
Somebody said, does Seth think Pat Sejack still hosts Wheel of Fortune?
I did, fully did.
You know, I bust on my crew sometimes and in doing so, I may be lean into some New Jersey
stereotypes, some Italian-American stereotypes and I want to apologize for that or at least
they did want to apologize for it until Sarah, last week, told me that during a lunch break
she walked under the bleachers and they were all watching the sopranos on a flat screen
TV.
And when I asked him where they got the flat screen, they said, don't worry about it.
It's none of your business.
And that's for why Sarah would share that gossip, you know, Irish.
Oh, can we put up the PO box again?
I was doing stand-up this weekend at the beacon and we did a Q&A and somebody raised his
hand and said, I have a hat for you.
And I said, oh great.
And he said, what's your PO box?
I told him I would put it up here.
A lot of people have noticed the difference of corrections, you know, before and after
buck left.
And I feel like if you were going to commemorate it with one closed captioning, it would
be this right here.
Thanks for the assist YouTube.
As somebody said, they were surprisingly closer look.
I said, I only knew three straights.
People said they were surprised.
I said, surely, you know, bearing straight, of course I do.
I know George straight.
You would know George straight too if you had my father-in-law.
He's like, you like George straight?
I'm like, yeah, man, you know what I like even more?
Go in a day without you asking.
Here's a comment.
So I said episodes 141, 149 and 156 were in the running for our Emmy submission.
Here's a comment.
I showed three episodes of corrections, those three episodes of corrections, to someone
and ask them which one they would nominate for an Emmy.
And this followed.
Them.
The second episode.
Me.
Why?
What did you like about it?
Them.
It was the shortest.
150.
A lot of buzz for 150.
So maybe let's do a poll in the next, wherever we put our polls, a leaderman.
Let's do 141 versus 150 and 149 versus 156.
I talked about how Lindsey Graham couldn't do a performance of Wicked because those are
not public rights.
And then as Lindsey, I said, I would never do that to Stephen Schwartz.
So we're doing chess.
A lot of people said Stephen Schwartz didn't do chess.
I know.
Stephen Schwartz did Wicked.
He would never, Lindsey Graham would never offend Stephen Schwartz.
That was my point.
Somebody said now that you've brought up the specter of Lindsey Graham performing chess,
you've got to give an impression of him singing One Night in Bangkok.
I'm not going to do that.
We're going to invite Bangkok, Oriental City.
City doesn't know what the city isn't getting.
I'm going to say something.
You're going to disagree with me.
One Night in Bangkok.
Top five Marie-Head song.
Somebody said when I dyed my hair black, I look like a character and I think you should leave.
I'm like a Seth, I'm a Seth Meyers lookalike at a party that's allowed to slap you.
I had a joke last week at about a offensive drag queen name based on a tragedy.
A jackal sent in one that was even worse, but I didn't want to say it because I feel like
everybody here would groan.
But I did say it earlier in this closer look with no context.
Tintin is in English.
He's Belgian.
I knew that.
I don't know why I didn't catch it.
If there's a lesson in there, it's like, I shouldn't read the monologue for the first
time during the show.
There's a little bit about kids in a basement playing video games.
A lot of you pointed out this looks like an attic.
And you know what, fair point.
Just like, I was like, do a couple of nerds in a basement.
They were like, how about the two richest kids you've ever met?
I'm going to finish on something that sounds like a bit, it's not a bit.
Scholars are out of movie.
Scholars are out of movie called Brian.
It premiered itself by Southwest this weekend.
Stars Ben Wang will wrap, directed it, and these are some reviews.
These are going to read some lines from the reviews of a movie, Mike Skollens.
That one.
These are lines from actual reviews.
Brian is unexpectedly heartfelt for a writer known for his stinging satire.
Brian is an instant classic filled to the brain with comedy heart and love for this one
life of ours.
It's absolutely exploding with heart.
Screenwriter Mike Skollens captures the rhythms of how teenagers speak with pinpoint precision,
crafting incredibly funny dialogue that feels current and timeless.
That's probably why he's always hanging out with him.
His every move feels real, which is easy to do when you have dialogue, is sensitively written
as this from a scribe Mike Skollens.
And here's the thing.
I'm not surprised the movie got great reviews.
I've seen the movie, the movie's fantastic.
I'm still surprised that Skollens is the guy who wrote it.
This is not the kind of writing he does for us.
He's our resident mass hall.
He writes to a friend to ruin people's days, mine first.
And yet he wrote this beautiful movie with so much heart, so much so that I worried that
I maybe had misjudged him for who he was.
Because again, I was judging his personality based on the work I see every day.
And so I went into his office today.
And I said, I hope you are proud of yourself for this work you did.
It's really hard to pull something like this off.
And I'm proud that I get to work with you.
And then he said, what am I, you a boy friend now?
And he threw a battery at me.
And he didn't even have to grab it.
It turns out he had in his hand the whole time.
He just walks around with a battery.
Anyway, look, here's proof.
Here's a variety review.
Look at that.
Unbelievable.
We'll talk about it more when you can see it in theaters.
But we are very happy for our friend, Mike Skollens.
And yeah, yeah, we have one.
See you next week.
