1. Why Katy Perry wasn't used earlier

   19:03

   The hosts admit that a Katy Perry feature should have been added to songs already in progress. They mention the opportunity was missed, though she later improved the Bronx Beat segment.

   Why didn't we just put her on one that needed a singer?

2. Opportunism versus adding Katy Perry

   20:15

   The hosts discuss that adding Katy Perry late would have improved songs, but Andy prefers not to be opportunistic and wants to stand on his own feet.

3. Katy Perry recording at SNL

   Akiva recalls recording in the SNL studio with Katy Perry, where her singing made him realize the sketch had underused her.

   Do you think we should call it Q&Aids? Yeah. No. I do. As long as there's a space. Jesus. Or an apostrophe at least. At least apost. We're doing so much work, so much work not to talk about Boogerman.

5. Boogerman premiere critique

   24:04

   The Boogerman sketch premiere is debated: Seth loves the audacity but feels it doesn't pull off the joke, while Akiva compares the feeling to a swing and miss.

   It does not pull it off.

6. Bob Hope humanitarian award in the backdrop

   29:42

   A prop detail: the Bob Hope humanitarian award appears on screen in the mock awards show, a visual nod to real Oscars-style broadcasts.

7. Glenn Close and Amy Poehler cutaways

   31:11

   The sketch uses celebrity cutaways in the style of award broadcasts, including Glenn Close and Amy Poehler, to mock the Oscars format.

   There's Glenn Close. And now, performing the theme...

8. Sketch is too muddled

   35:29

   The hosts agree the Boogerman sketch lacked a clear lane, mixing serious movie clips with comedic dance and cutaways.

   I think maybe the issue here was you guys could not pick a lane.

9. Clips shot to look cinematic

   37:38

   The hosts praise the production quality of the sketch's film clips, which were designed to look like projected screens at an awards show.

   And we did a good job making it look like they've been projected on a screen and stuff.

    Peter Sarsgaard appears in the film clip as the Boogerman character; Akiva notes his look echoes Andy's version in the dance and Will Forte's vibe.

    So Peter Sarsgaard. Peter Sarsgaard, for those not paying attention. And he's got the same look that we've seen Andy in a theatrical bullshit version of for the dance. But now you see the real version with yellow…

12. Netflix link joke and 'apps app'

    42:14

    A recurring bit where the hosts pretend to have trouble finding Netflix and the apps app. It parodies the podcast's Digman promotion.

    I'll just be all gold. God damn. This is bad. Take him up on it guys. I'm so fucking lonely. You guys, I would do it anyway. I just want to feel a connection with a human being.

14. Seth blamed for the Digman sliding doors

    43:00

    The hosts jokingly blame Seth's White House Correspondents' Dinner remarks for the chain of events leading to the Digman promotion and the gulping bit.

    Seth praises the 2010 Bronx Beat sketch, hosted by Amy Poehler with Maya Rudolph and musical guest Katy Perry. The show-within-a-show is a recurring SNL premise.

    Jesus, those are not words. Dandling is a real problem for me, historically. Ganglia I usually get. Ganglia, what does it mean? I mean, it was 69 words. It was a lot. So two hints I didn't feel too bad about.

    But I think I might have still misspelled it because it gave me the lines. Did I put the I in the wrong place? You spelled it with a G, which I appreciated. Yes. Yes, yes. I tried to take it back to the old school. You… — Akiva
