Kenan was a Nick kid. He was All That, Keenan and Kel, Goodburger. A show called Kenan. He is a Mighty Duck, a Heavyweight, and guest star gold for any series. You all gave him wonderful props for his SNL longevity, but you have to also acknowledge that he was a big fish from day one on SNL and may have been brought in to pull his 90’s fan base.

@peteypablopicasso Ай бұрын

It’s been very cool growing up with him and watching him thrive. I’m 35 and can’t remember a single time in my life where Kenan hasn’t been there.

Hey Mike! You mentioned the cool names of drugs that you learned from the DARE program, so I thought I'd let you know (as a former teacher) that on the annual surveys of drug use they always make up some drugs / drug names so that they can weed out the kids who check "yes" to everything. E.g. "In the past month, have you used boomslang?"

Seth, babes, what a pleasure seeing you here with Birbigs! ❤ A proud Jackal P.S. great to see you stimming. As a fellow neurodivergent, I say let your stim flag fly, baaay-beeee!!!

@kab9706 Ай бұрын

Totally agree. ❤

@demitasse22 Ай бұрын

What does “stimming” mean? I always see it and I’d rather ask someone who does it for real instead of Google. Is it like when ppl needed a fidget spinner in 2015? Thank you

@lb5368 Ай бұрын

@demitasse22 I think of it as anything that relieves the tension/energy I have in my body. It is short for self-stimulation, which is a misnomer because stimming is actually soothing and allows me to help regulate my body and brain so I can function in a world built for neurotypicals. Stimming can show up as lots of different behaviors, from full-body rocking or spinning, to sitting in an awkward postion that puts a pleasant pressure on my joints, to flapping my hands, fidgeting with a pen, or picking at my cuticles. It's part of my self-expression now that I don't mask my autism anymore 😊 I hope this helps and isn't too much information lol! I tend to say a lot more than people expect when I'm asked about a special interest of mine!

@chrisincamera Ай бұрын

First time discovering this podcast. It is really great. Mike's ability to punch in some ribbing or comedy and only slightly derailing Seth is pitch perfect.

@calibby85 Ай бұрын

I still re-listen to Strike Force Five. It was the 2nd best thing to come out of the strike. Hearing Seth's kids screaming in the background while the others laughed about it, Fallon's disastrous wife quiz, and just all of them enjoying themselves so much and acting like little kids, was such a treat😂❤

@flood8496 Ай бұрын

Seth's laugh seems very genuine. Jimmy Fallon's laugh seems to be fake and sycophantic. I think that's what I like best about Seth's show.

This is the first time I have ever heard of this Mike Brigabee podcast. I immediately subscribed. Number one Birbigs fan here. Obviously that’s probably not the case due to the fact that this is not the first episode and I am only just now seeing this. But I absolutely love Mike Brigglebobblyboo. Love love love. If you are Mike, thank you for being you. If you are not Mike, also thank you for being you, not Mike. There’s only one. Anyway. Have a good day. Thanks

seth, for your couplet joke around 43:14 maybe have your second son do something that overlaps with rap. so at first it sounds like it's country but then you wait a beat & say something like, "or maybe my influence *is* getting through." or stay on the whiskey thread & go with, "& he's ruining the rug when he pours out some for his homies ... well, maybe my influence is getting through." just tryin' to help -- jackals ain't all bad.

This may be somewhere, but what is the significance of the notecards? I've stopped multiple times to just look at them. I did notice that there are at least two duplicates: "Outcomes of Sex" and "Brie Larson, in what universe?", which I assume are set ups for jokes?
