Seth takes a closer look at the Republican Party taking orders from their new leader Elon Musk, who is demanding that the GOP shut down the government until Donald Trump takes office in January.

Then, John Mulaney and Simon Rich discuss their shared trauma of working for Seth, reminisce on the first time they met and share some of the Saturday Night Live sketch ideas they pitched while working on the show.

Plus, exclusively for this podcast, John and Simon keep the conversation going backstage at Studio 8G.
