The Strokes

that.

I mean, I was a little offended that they had the strokes so quickly on the show, but, you know, a little flashback here and

there.

I mean, maybe that was a little tip of the hat to you.

Yeah, come on, man.

Yeah.

The Strokes weren't bad.

This is going to sound terrible, and I apologize to all Stroke fans because I've not listened to their music.

At six months, participants in a clinical trial of Weight Watchers program lost an average of 12 pounds.

Yes, welcome on in everybody to the Saturday Night Network for another edition of our Monday Night Roundtable coming to you following the Drewski and the Strokes episode of Saturday Night Live, season 52, episode 5.

My name is John Schneider from the SNN.

Grilled to be back with you on this Monday night.

I, yes, I, I'm with rich.

And I will also say that that entire week that this group of people spend in the trenches together, putting the show, the Saturday show together, they then get to, yes, rich have that moment, but also they, high five, hug, etc.

And then when other people show up, you change the dynamic, right? So if you're about to like, hug Drewski, hug these other people, hug the strokes, and all of a sudden, you know, Chappelle shows up and everyone like, it's not only attention pull for us at home watching on camera, you've changed the entire dynamic of the stage show.

And I've got to think that when you're a celebrity, and you're sitting in the audience, or wherever you're sitting watching this show, and you're like, oh, it's the good nights.

And that sort of almost like response to like the boy bands or, you know, that sort of like glossy pop music.

So like the Strokes or like Franz Ferdinand maybe, or like those sorts of guys, like the White Stripes a little bit too.

So that kind of like throwback to like rock music, you know? Yeah.

yes yeah i mean in a way i think he's kind of the canadian strokes yeah like

Different vibe sonically, of course, but just like, dude,

what? Like kinksy, just like quick.

This is like where you get the real like the strokesy.

Yes.

Cole Haynes' Musk as well.

Not much else stood out except the strokes.

Even auto-tuned Ugg.

They're awesome.

Gosh, I hope Mulaney can work his magic next week.

We need at least one great episode before the year's up.

You know, I like the Strokes too, but I hated the songs that they did in this episode.

I watched because, oh, let's see what they have.

This was a big, big album in 2001, and this was a big new band, specifically a New York band.

The Strokes Last Night.

Yes.

Okay, so this is the second single from the third studio album by this alternative American rock group.

But I... think i'm most attracted to him as an actor in dog day afternoon

yeah i mean i can see it he looks like he's every member of the strokes had a baby and he's like the sixth stroke you know what i mean he's just like this new member and it's like yeah i think he is in the band yeah he's amazing though

um he looks

great

No, no such heaven exists.

And it's also really sad that men can't wear leather jackets.

On account of? the strokes

well they never they just never look like the strokes

I mean, really, what have I been listening to? What's new that I've been listening to?

I listen to the New Strokes record.

It's actually really good.

Paul, the podcast is listened to throughout the world.

I think it's, uh, largely conscious and intentional with the, those influences, but often I, I just think that there's also gotta be tons that is just seeping through in the process because they were moving so quickly for one, but also, uh, at that age, I just don't know how aware anybody is.

You know, the strokes are another one.

I was going to mention that like to me, and we can end part one.

I know we're going a little long, but, uh, of this podcast, but I was gonna mention with The Stroke, to me, there's a very similar quality and a handful to several years difference, of course, but for me, at a really impressionable age, like 13-ish, when Weezer really hit, and specifically the Blue album, In between that and me learning how to play guitar and definitely being more conscious or whatever, intentional with music in certain ways, as I got a little older, and then right into 2001, The Strokes hit, and Is This It, their first album, I'm assuming you never got too much into Strokes.

But to me, those are two of the great, great, great debut albums of these fully formed, unique-sounding artists, or for that matter, bands.

And it was just the sound that they captured in different ways.

I mean, with Weezer, like we've already talked about, there's many others from right at that same time, you know? Green Day, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, whatever.

But...

We did one with David Jay from Bauhaus collabing with Nick Zinner with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Zumi from Black Lips.

We did one with an artist, an emerging artist, Isaiah, with Mr. Hudson and Nick Valenzi from The Strokes.

wow yeah and then we're getting remixes done of all these songs uh we did an amazing one with lee from lee kiernan from idols who's bristol based uh he collaborated with a japanese artist um reese 707 so we're trying to bring artists back together get them to work together and then create a community around that as well so it's just like get people like in the room again, you know, get people like excited to like be around each other and like work together.

So that's what it's
