The Lonely Island would go on to produce hit after hit for SNL, from "I'm On A Boat," to "Dick in a Box." Kal and Jorma sit down to talk about digital shorts, now and then.

    The Tennis Rally with Andy Roddick

    When COVID told us we all needed to be six feet apart, some people became addicted to TikTok and other people picked up a racket.

So, why are we just becoming obsessed with a game that Andy Roddick has been obsessed with his whole life? Kal talks to the former number one player in the world about why and how his sport is making a comeback. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
