Simon Rich is just such a freaking delight as a writer. After the last time he was on I picked up a copy of _Hits and Misses_ which includes a short story told from the perspective of Paul Revere's horse, who feels a sense of stolen glory seeing all these monuments people built to Paul Revere when when you think about it the horse did all the work, hauling ass between New England towns so Revere could warn all the townspeople for which Revere got all the credit
I’ve heard John Mulaney mentioning Simon so many times during interviews and had an idea about what he looks like but I didn’t watch any videos of him. Now that I hear his voice, there is something in the way he talks that reminds me of John!
I just finished the audiobook of Glory Days with Mulaney narrating and it is absolutely fantastic. Simon's stories aren't just funny and well-written, they're heartfelt and each one had a little gut punch at the end. John's narration is EPIC. He does some excellent voice acting with all the different characters and I was in full on tears over his reading of the Mario story. Even the way he reads the opening and closing credits is hilarious. I'm a new fan of Simon Rich and I can't wait to read more of his work.
Hey, Simon Rich, you’re not alone in presenting Goliath as the underdog in your story! Malcolm Gladwell (author of ‘The Tipping Point’ and ‘Outliers’) wrote about exactly that in his groundbreaking book: ‘David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants’. In a sincere, unironic way!
So, I’m just this moment purchasing Simon Rich’s book… Audio. The preview in Apple Books with John’s NY accent is pretty good. Thanks Simon. Or thank him for me.
Simon Rich, a humorist bright, Shared his tales of fame and light, Olympics showed a stark divide, Between SNL’s stage and athlete's stride. From Mario’s woes to Goliath’s plight, He spins tales with wit and insight, His book, "Glory Days," a witty spin, On legends lost and heroes thin. With Mulaney’s voice, the stories shine, In audiobooks, they intertwine, Rich’s humor, sharp and grand, A joyful read we all demand. So cheers to Simon, laughter's king, His tales a gem that makes us sing, In "Glory Days," his craft displayed, A master’s touch, forever made.
I skipped that family trips episode because who the F is Simon Rich but I think I’ll go back and listen now. Dude seems pretty funny and Mulaney reading his stories should be a Netflix special.
Wow, he writes for the Simpsons?? How prestigious! ("Tonight on Springfield Life, we'll meet a man who has been writing for the Simpsons for the last twenty years!" "[hic] kill me [hic] kill me")
There's a thing called being a "friend of the show". This is a term used when a guest has a good professional relationship with the host and possibly other people that work on at the show. Usually implies that people that staff at the show like working with the guest, and the guest does the show with some regularity. But at this point they may be more like personal friends, which would explain a different introduction.
I just got back from acupuncture because my back is so screwed and I was playing in my teens and Dr Mario in my 20’s. I am 54. Unless he was a baby plumber and Luigi was the adult.
* I would like to state for the record that IF you look at photographs of Arnold riding his bike around town TODAY(2024) he and I have the SAME BODY TYPE. 🤣 It has ONLY taken 40 years, but he and I could be twins. ☺
You’ve got to know gender isn’t 100% biological if Simon Rich and Tig Notaro are of two different sexes. I have so much love for both of them, but they have such similar vibes and looks.
Not a nepo baby, unless you think that includes humorists whose parents were in publishing and journalism/criticism, who grew up middle/upper-middle class, and once rolling (at age 20) received zero assistance. His divorced parents were a theater/movie critic (father) and a book editor (mother).

Good to see Lorne picked him up from the airport on time
That was my highlight of the Mulaney interview yesterday. So subtle, yet so funny 🤣
He flew in last night, him being here today, doesn't show whether Lorne picked him up on time or not.
@@fireflare260Such a weird point to be pedantic on

Simon 's episode on Family Trips was fantastic! I love when Seth gets to talk to his friend😂❤ thank you for this conversation

Rich, Mulaney, and Marika Sawyer might have been the most creative and prolific SNL writing team ever.
I just finished the audiobook of Glory Days with Mulaney narrating and it is absolutely fantastic.

This book is sooooo good! Even better with Mulaney narrating ❤🎉
Good to know.
@@jennifersantosuosso4479 audio thing on amazon?
I just finished the audiobook yesterday and I absolutely loved it! I'm going to listen again and pick up a hard copy of the book.
bought it with extra credits on amazon audio. Just need to DL it now to MP3 player.
How fun! Can't wait to check out this book. Seth is my favorite interviewer. Just the best. 💖
Always enjoy your interviews Seth
Huge Simon Rich fan! So glad to we him do more interviews even though he does not want or like doing them.
Read Glory Days in one day last week could not put it down!! So good
Nice warm up to tonight's listening of Family Trips with Simon Rich. Family Trips is in my top 3 podcasts.
Love Simons work, master of the humorous short.
David sounds adorable
I love audio books especially whisper synced to a kindle.😅

Simon Rich, a humorist bright,
Shared his tales of fame and light,
Olympics showed a stark divide,
Between SNL’s stage and athlete's stride.
From Mario’s woes to Goliath’s plight,
He spins tales with wit and insight,
His book, "Glory Days," a witty spin,
On legends lost and heroes thin.
With Mulaney’s voice, the stories shine,
In audiobooks, they intertwine,
Rich’s humor, sharp and grand,
A joyful read we all demand.
So cheers to Simon, laughter's king,
His tales a gem that makes us sing,
In "Glory Days," his craft displayed,
A master’s touch, forever made.
Loved that book. Laugh out loud funny.

We love Simon rich
Tom Gauld's Goliath is the most beautiful and ... spoiler ... sad story about Goliath ever.
Schwarzenegger? Bob Denver? When she grows up...😂
I'm gonna use that. I'm not getting older, I'm beginning to lose.
Wow, he writes for the Simpsons?? How prestigious!
("Tonight on Springfield Life, we'll meet a man who has been writing for the Simpsons for the last twenty years!" "[hic] kill me [hic] kill me")
The Simpsons since season 9ish sucks... who cares
Seth used to introduce friends as "OUR very good friend" now he does to "MY very good friend" . Curious why

@@francescaa8331Excellent explanation.
where to get book?! im hungover don’t judge me
found!
@@jflowj audiobook on Apple. Better with John Mulany reading it… maybe.
mario was already an adult in the 80s....wouldn't he be like 65-70?
I just got back from acupuncture because my back is so screwed and I was playing in my teens and Dr Mario in my 20’s. I am 54. Unless he was a baby plumber and Luigi was the adult.

Just had a great sandwich.
Meyers finally back on the job? He works less than Carson did.
From Ahhnold to Gilligan to college-aged Shaggy (he grows up just enuff to convert to a polo)
Also, this worked bc I just bought the book on Audible
nice when a nepo baby has talent

@@MarcoCalavita His parents were two of the most powerful entertainment journalists in the country, and now his father is a big HBO producer. Nepo.
Omg he looks about 25 y.o.
He had a distinguished career at _SNL_ yet no one would bat an eye if he were sitting in an undergraduate class
