💜 Seth, I'm from Philly but NYC is home

This podcast has gone from strength to strength. Talib Kweli is a bona-fide natural interviewer and seems able to establish an easy rapport with every guest. Brilliant work.
Dr BigF MC. Sick name my guy
@@CANControlGRAFFITI Thanks man
The world needs a Talib Kweli NPR Tiny Desk Concert. It’s time Bro. Respect.
Another great episode guys. Seth Green has been someone who I have grew up on from Austin Powers to Enemy of the State to Family Guy to Robot Chicken. He is hilarious. He doesn't get enough credit for what he has done in Movies and TV. I'm glad you and Jasmine gave him his flowers when he is here he definitely deserves it. Once again thank you for another great episode always look forward to Mondays just for the peoples party.
*The Talib Kweli Show!!!!!*
Episodes like this are the reason this show is underrated!!!!! We need a Part Two to some of the zoom interviews (Fat Joe/Busta)
One of the best parts about Mondays.
For real. This and Talking Sopranos.
@@DrBigFMC I haven’t checked that out. Might go ahead and give it a run, thanks yo!
The Mos Def mention had me crying 🤣 had to watch that four times over. Inspired choice to interview Seth Green ♥️
Are none of us going to point out Seth wearing a Gorillaz/Fantastic 4 album cover collab t-shirt?
Are none of us going to mention that Seth Green was accused of human sex trafficking and then his accuser former Hollywood actor Isaac Kappy suddenly “committed suicide?”
Already love it. Seth is so funny. "Preparation H does feel good... on the whole" 🤣🤣🤣
Great interview 👍👍I loved how Talib geeked out over Austin Powers and Star Wars 😂👏👏 and big ups to Seth for seeing how MC’s are lyrical nerds 👏👏👏
Special-K finally getting his respect.
This podcast is awesome. Talib is a natural when it comes to asking questions but most importantly letting the guests talk and not interrupting. When I say “this podcast” I’m referring to the entire body of work the Peoples Party has produced.
What's funny is long before Seth Green was Seth Green, I was already quoting this dude relentlessly. That's because he's the little brother in Can't Buy Me Love. Hilarious role in an underrated 80s flick. Threw me for a loop when I realized that was him. I been quoting this kid all my life. "Now that ain't Dick Clark." lmao
Damn, I forgot about that
😂 He’s fucking great in Can’t Buy Me Love.
This was a true pleasure to watch. Great discussion with someone all in the business of entertainment!!!
These two guys together was great. Big fan of both of them. Seths work throughout the years is so inspiring. He’s done so much with everything, still humble as hell, & just a solid cool dude for real. All out genius in what he does. Much respect ✊
Simply spectacular! Love this episode y’all just keep topping yourselves every week!!
This is a crazy podcast idk how it took me this long to find it but I'm so grateful I did
Legend conversing with legend...
This pod/show is so good. Loving it
We need a part 2! Bravo!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Another one for the books! Fantastic and entertaining interview!
My guy Seth Green ! don't forget he was also in the movie Airborne back in the day too.
Love this. Airborne was one of my favorite movies as a kid and now I feel more connected knowing we’re both from Philly. Salute
Talib Kweli has found his true calling.
What a great interview. Two of the coolest dudes on the planet chatting it up for an hour.
Another great episode, thank you Talib & Co.!
Seth Green in the movie Can't Hardly Wait 😂
I remember him from airborne in the 90s and after this idle hands and can't hardly wait.. wow I miss those movie's days
Great episode thank you!
This is an awesome interview. He's so funny with the voices
This was a great episode. Now im patiently waiting for the miles brown episode.

Another classic episode 👌
Awsome interview.

Wow!! Seth in the building!! That's awesome!!! Big up!!
IMO, People's Party has the best & most insightful interviews EVER!! It's tamed & more disciplined Drink Champs for the entire culture. Thnx!!!
seth and mac seem to be cut from the same cloth. very natural and grounded individuals. talib has really great interview agility, he seems to be able to present great understanding with whoever he interviews and does the leg work to do that before the guest arrives.
Seth Green is a living legend, been in the game going on 30 years now...I even watched that goofy show in Hawaii. I was pissed when they canceled it...
what was that, bird of paradise, with timothy busfield, and jennifer love hewitt, I was a fan too
th-cam.com/video/6MaVxmNXtPY/w-d-xo.html

first movie I saw him in was "cant buy me love"!
he was in idle hands my favo movie
Patrick Stump would be a great guest. Love hearing from guests who had their own career in a completely different place during the time Kweli's albums were starting to blow up. Interesting hearing their different perspectives and crossroads between their careers.
Just watched idle hands yesterday and IT on halloween lol
Seth is a legend, as is Talib !
Great mos def story 🤣😂👏 25:37
When they're talking about the Lamborghini not even having studded tires. I just wanted to say "it's not the car, it's the driver"
I have more respect for family guy after this podcast. And a deeper curiosity to watch some of Seth’s movies I’ve never seen. Shoutout Talib and Jasmine and Seth.
I love rap music with krsone
Seth Green is probably great with children. He’s so funny.
👏🏾👏🏾
seth green is just like matthew lillard does not get appreciated enough , coming from movies like italian job, Sthephen king IT , idle hands and can hardly wait and ofcourse buffy an angel, the favorite movie from him is without a paddle
he killed it in that movie and the fact it was with matthew lillard and dax sheppard made it even more hilarious and not forget the movie sex drive
Without a paddle is my jam lol
Everytime someone says this is the best podcast on the planet i go i dont think you've seen Legion Of Skanks than hahahah
TALIB KWELI IS A MASTER CRAFTSMAN!!!!
I saw Rat race in a drive through movie theater in Wisconsin dells in August 2001
Mass Effect trilogy, yeah baby!!
Great interview! Anyone know where he got that shirt?
I just realized he was on "Batman Beyond" as the bully, Nelson Nash .
He was in an episode of X Files!!
I forgot what skit but at the end they Said, our show is clever
Love Seth Green so much. One of the few celebrities that seems like it would be fun to hang out with them.
Literally watching HULK agents of smash 💥 Seth is Dope!
Enemy of the "fuckin" state 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ and he had some of the funniest lines in that movie.
I want to see Talib on Hot Ones
What is Kame-Con Jazz? 🤣
I used to be a fan of Seth Green until the Isaac Kappy revelations. What are your thoughts on Isaac Kappy, Seth? I REALLY hope none of it is true.
Still hoping they do What If Spiderman was The Punisher, Howard the Duck can be Micro!
damnit, Seth looked like Willem Dafoe in the small thumbnail. Sure has changed since Entourage
What happened to Issac kappy, Seth?
RIP Isaac Kappy, he knew too much
th-cam.com/video/6MaVxmNXtPY/w-d-xo.html
Wonder if they'll talk about how he disappears in enemy of the state half way through the movie
I just realized that now what did happen to him
I didn't realize that until you said it what happened to him?
I wish they asked him about Joker from Mass Effect
I like the afro americans
RIP Isaac Kappy.
Jesus Christ Reigns 👑
My man
Rip Kappy
Does Talib's son have produced releases?
Mini me loves chocolate...
SCOTTY DON'T
I thought dr evil was a SLIGHTLY exaggerated impression of Bill Maher lol.
My god you’re onto something.
@@fargozoto1491 😂😂😂 it has to be
His best work, bar far was Airborne!
Shout out to Dana Carvey
.
I, Alex Sage, am an artist and lyricist that will always aspire to be someday walking in a similar place to/ or next to Talib. So much inspiration in his persona and his career path he's created through his art.
So Seth passed on Chairman of the bored / 9 and a half seconds / Box office poison? good call.
13 Thumbs down??? I guess Eric is not over the Sloan thing....
Rip kappy
Speaking of action figures that don’t warrant them, it’s so weird to me that there was a Robin Hood Prince of Thieves toy line.
