"He thought harass was 2 words" is crazy lmao 🤣. So good!

[kevprange]

Easiest 10 minutes of work for Seth ever.

[likebot.]

"... and for me, nothing comes to mind."

gold.

[DNTXPCTMCH]

I have known my best friends for 33 years. I will never get tired of hearing friends laugh. The world needs more healthy friendships.

[Fearkillzone]

That best thing you've written since Project 2025 got me good, such a good friendship.

[kathleendonnelly]

These 2 guys are the OG comedy icons. Love that they are friends too!

[daltongrowley]

Steve Martin got all his aging out of the way in his 20's. Hasn't had to worry about it ever since.

[peppermint.patti]

Steve Martin looks exactly the same since I was a kid, I would've never guessed his age 😅

[bubblesezblonde]

Wow what an excellent minimalist interview Seth. A good interviewer knows when to stay silent. Well done. I watch almost all of your interviews just to see how they are conducted. Thanks. BTW has anyone else noted the high quality of Desi Lydic's interviews at TDS?

[mnorman]

The fact that adding Selena Gomez to this amazing duo works as well as it does kind of gives me hope for the world and that the older and younger generations can hopefully figure out how to respect each other and work together to make the world a better place.

[NewMessage]

OMG.. 'two words'... I' nearly died.... Coffee everywhere... I think I broke a vessel in my eye...

[CaptainCanuck]

They work so well together and obviously enjoy themselves immensely. Love it!

[BorgjeB]

Funniest of this interview is just hearing Seth giggle for 10 minutes.

[LusheRenRen]

I love how Steve keeps mentioning 60/40 with Marty on every show but still gets a laugh every time. 😅

[ChipCain]

Christ! They don’t make them like this anymore! Cherish them. Legends.

[GabrielxDesign]

Seth becomes part of the audience when these two are around

[AmyBG]

“And for me, nothing comes to mind.” 😂

[alanw]

Seth is playing it just right. He's playing the straight man asking questions then getting out of the way.

[oganirukwu]

Have never thought of watching "Murders in the building" but after watching these 2... they are hillarious so yep, i'm binging the series.

[beetlejuiceblues]

Marty was claws out in this lmao that was nonstop
