Asif and Ali, after a brief digression about Halifax and indie-band ‘The Lowest of the Low’, the guys discuss ‘SNL UK’ (4:25). They discuss how the show came about, the involvement of Lorne Michaels, and other failed SNL franchises in other countries. They then discuss the similarities and differences between the show and classic SNL. Finally they go over their thoughts on the cast and the show as a whole. 

Then Ali tells us the story about his recent sleep study (22:50). Asif then goes over sleep studies in general – what they consist of and what they test for. Since both of your sleep challenged co-hosts have had sleep studies, Asif goes through both of the guys' sleep test results.
