Mike welcomes Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy, aka Please Don’t Destroy, known for their wildly popular shorts on SNL. Mike is determined to get Martin to talk more than he did on Pete Holmes’s podcast. The group shares what they like and dislike about each other, and break down what it’s like to be both sketch writers and filmmakers on SNL. Plus, what it’s like to work with Bad Bunny in a Shrek costume and get roasted by Taylor Swift.

    I don't know why I'm like this, but upon hearing Mike claim that he saw Ben in 'Thank God for Jokes', I decided to dedicate my life to searching that entire special to see if I could spot Ben like a game of Where's Waldo. In conclusion, Ben appears in the audience at the top of the frame at 22 minutes and 41 seconds into the special.

    Love hearing that these dudes hang out with the Tim Robinson/ Joe Pera/ Conor O’ Malley crowd with guys like Gary Richardson and Carmen Christopher. The niche, silly goofy comedy scene is in a renaissance.
  • @danielleuhbelle
    I really don’t think they get enough credit for how talented they are.
  • @cheribee968
    These three definitely brought vitality to SNL I always look forward to seeing them
  • @jeffcharlip4816
    lol at Mike not quite getting the “well oil is meals for wheels” joke
  • @lille-mary1517
    Martin is pure gold for me. Just want to see more of his work. And hear more from him.
  • @stevie6423
    Killer interview by Mike…harnessed a whole lot of comic genius feeding off each other
  • @kderby307
    This is the best podcast episode I’ve listened to in a long time
  • @kidflashclone
    I did not know that Steve Higgins was John's dad. It's really funny and a testament to how talented this group is
  • @ruule
    Love the Mike n' Mart duo
  • @jfifield20
    This was such an enjoyable podcast. Funny, poignant, and sweet. I really felt like I caught a glimpse into Ben, John and Martin's real lives. Also loved hearing some of the backstories into how skits evolved and their histories,
  • @deruzy4383
    How was that only an hour? I would have watched multiple episodes of these guys 👏🏼 Love you Mike and PDD boys
  • @Turtlpwr
    2:50 oh snap did not realize Martin was also a CT boy here here from a fellow home-stater
  • @katyjacobo9856
    I love these guys and almost didn't listen because it's so hard to listen to 3 people be interviewed at one time. I'm glad I decided to check it out anyway. Mike, you beat Pete Holmes! This was such a great pod, and love all 4 of you even more now! Also, I had to pause to watch the Bad Bunny Shrek sketch. ❤
