Saturday Night's Alright: Our favorite SNL moments

Saturday Night's Alright: Our favorite SNL moments

Summer is upon us. What are the Connect More boys doing besides listening to the corn grow? Sounds like baseball, beers, gardening, farmer's market, and jogging in the woods are all in the works. Put on your shades and join the fun! We got a fantastic Listener Mail voice note from Becky! She's a huge Saturday Night Live fan and wanted to hear about our favorite sketches and characters. From the earliest days of SNL in the '70s right up to the present day, we find the SNL moments that have burrowed their way deep into pop culture. From "Landshark!" to "I'm On a Boat!" we cover almost every decade of SNL goodness. We're Connect More, and you're not. Are you working hard or hardly working? Either way, you'll need this advice about interviewing and hiring that we've learned over the years. If your favorite scene in "Office Space" is when Peter gets interviewed by the Bobs, this segment is for you. Because you demanded it, we go back to an old favorite for the whiparound: fake band names! It never gets old. Or maybe it does. Hit us up in the comments!

SHORTIE! "We need more days off work. If you could create a federal holiday, what would it be? "

Because she can't get enough of our timeless wisdom, our producer occasionally lobs us a question. This week she asks, "We need more days off work. If you could create a federal holiday, what would it be? " We're always looking for an excuse to escape work, so we come up with some pretty good ideas. Some of these holidays would even encourage people to (gasp!) connect more with their loved ones! Didn't see that one coming! What day do you think we should get off from work and school? Hit us up in the comments!

Connect More Live! Later, Late Show...

Steven Colbert's Late Show ends tomorrow. Seeing David Letterman on his show last week chucking chairs from the rooftop of the Ed Sullivan Theater was a crashing tidal wave of nostalgia, so we felt like we needed a session to connect and commiserate about the ending of an era. We hopped on a live stream and speculated about the future of late night TV, snacked on some Almost Famous popcorn, lamented the sad state of TV journalism and network TV in general. Even Aaron Rodgers got a call-out. Screw that guy.

The Rock 'n Roll HOF isn't even trying anymore. Do better, be better.

Things get 'moving' quickly as we commiserate with Jocó about packing & hauling while he relocates to a new city after living in the same house for 25 years. It's never fun, but at least the rest of us don't have to help him! The Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame recently announced its new inductees...and we call bullsh!t. It's like they're not even trying. The bar seems to have been set awfully low lately. Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, et. al. aren't bad artists...but are they worthy of standing alongside the likes of Elvis, David Bowie, The Who, Prince, or Neil Young? Especially when there are SO MANY worthy bands that still haven't made it! [cough...The Replacements...cough] Against all odds, there's something in the air tonight. Gimme one more night...to choose better nominees the next time. Next we go deep on the reasons why we love our favorite teams? As good Midwestern boys we keep our loyalties fairly close to home in places like Chicago, Minnesota, and Kansas City, and we can't help but laugh at those dopes you see walking around Iowa wearing Dolphins gear. Ooh, yeah...real cool, buddy. Things get dark for the whiparound with some celebrity deadpool action. Similar to the old MTV Remote Control show (Google it, kids) we ask the time-honored question: Dead or Canadian? Yes, John, we know that's been your fantasy football team name for many years. We're all very impressed.

SHORTIE! "Gravity is no longer a force acting on Earth. What is the first thing you do?"

In this shortie episode, our PRUducer asks: "Gravity is no longer a force acting on Earth. What is the first thing you do?" We channel our inner "Wicked" and talk about Defying Gravity. From feats of strength to sports prowess, we dream about flying through the air with the greatest of ease. This is a quick listen. It will be over before that M&M you dropped on the floor gets disqualified by the three-second rule.
