hey it me zach

Hello everyone, I apparently joined patreon when I was drunk last night, touché.

I missed the AMA so wonder if I can ask you here - did you / any of you / all of you / Mark specifically .. watch Scrubs a lot?

Zach, had the pleasure of meeting you at the Bell House in Brooklyn. Wondering how do you fuck?

Just wanted to say your hair in the show is so luscious, shiny and voluminous. The hair team did a great job.

Brendan Fisher

What do you think of the film tenet?

A

What's it like being a big fancy celebrity now that the show is a hit?

That's an interesting question. I think going back to Aunty Donna's Rumpus Room, it's sort of this loose frame that helps keep the sketches going. I doubt it was Netflix's doing.

George S

What's your favorite veggie tales episode?

Greg Gibbs

Can Frogman be filmed as an Ellen esq what you don’t see is funnier kinda sketch?

Jake Bowley

What made you swap The Power of One for District 9 in the Sams sketch?

Jasper Hayward

honestly im little bummed out that Bertocchi Ham have never stepped up their game and sponsored you like Dominos have done! Did they ever contact you? Also, what was the reasoning for not including a reprise of "Pud" in the show as i feel that sketch kinda propelled you more mainstream... ?

C'n i've an orange Sunnyboy?

My analysis of the show is that you’ve sort of tricked people into watching sketch by framing it as narrative. When I was watching it I realised (especially with the pirate booty episode) that the only relevant story beats are in the cold open and the final 2 minutes or so. There are a couple of references to the plot throughout but it’s mostly just unrelated sketches. It almost feels as though Netflix were pushing for a narrative element. Was this the case? And if so how difficult was it to reach a compromise that didn’t distort your original vision too much. Loved the show by the way, and I’m certainly hoping for a second series.

Was there any concern on the Netflix side with how Mark's pizza man (and his fictional mum) character came across? Any cultural clashes?

Did Scott have much to do with the production process as an EP or was his input all on the acting side?

Big Tim

Live shows making a return?

Best pizza that isn't dominos?

What made yall go with the district 9 reference and not with the power of one reference in the SAS sketch on netflix?

ahahahaha, i'll try to remember to do this.

Aunty Donna

no, i was polite and said thanks for doing the show. im a 30 year old guy, he knows i know who he is, he knows i listened to his music when i was a kid, i dont need to tell him imho

Aunty Donna

nothing is original. so long as the comic knows when we filmed what, rthen we cool.

Aunty Donna

yeah, we worked really hard to make sure the sound i made was an extreme version of dweeby, and nothing crook. also, the kidney thing is actually true of me - i dont keep it in a jar, but am missing a part of my kidney. that way its coming from a place of truth and not dodgy because its my lived experience.

Aunty Donna

personally, for me. i would love one day to have a one scene comedic moment in a huge budget film. like a funny little person in an office when the superhero tries to live a normal life or something in act 2.

Aunty Donna

How many free pizzas did Don Meij send you?

yes, we're currently doing a no sound zoom in the room when we record together. but we're looking into other options.

Aunty Donna

how long did the egg helms scene take to film because you were giggling so much at egg

Leonie Hurtado

Yes I do.

Will we see the return of the 3aw parody Christmas poddy episode btw? Genuinely my favourite run of podcasts. ily

depends entirely on if u have the beardy growth to pull it off. if u got lots of hair on ur cheek, go for it. if it's thin at any point (like mine) then i wouldn't. but u do u babe.

Aunty Donna

Did you sing Weird Al’s songs with/at him when you met him? I know lots of his songs off by heart, so I would have.

Laura Fraser

Were there any sketched you were worried about being copied or just done similarly by other sketch comedians before the show came out?

i honestly don't know, but if i had to guess, i reckon somewhere between 2 times a day and once every 3 days.

Aunty Donna

dunno lol

Aunty Donna

dunno lol. prob something from Mr Show

Aunty Donna

yes sorry if i forget tho

Aunty Donna

whoops, i meant to take down 3-4 hahahaas

Aunty Donna

u can do anything u want

Aunty Donna

yes maybe. either that, or i'm very keen to do another comedy special one day. but maybe after covid is a bit more sorted. not any time soon tho, we're very out of practice tbh

Aunty Donna

hard to say, never properly looked. not me.

Aunty Donna

With "The Hunk and the Dork", were there any concerns during production in terms of the clarity that your character is just a dweeb and not mocking people with disabilities?

Big Tim

hahahah, i dunno. im loving these lo-fi bts, mockumentary vids we're doing on the youtube to promote the show atm (the tattoo vid, for example). love how loose they are, how like the podcast they are, and how much they blur truth and fiction. so i'd love to explore that genre more

Aunty Donna

people probably...

Aunty Donna

:)

Aunty Donna

What show or series do you yourself or as the Aunty Donna collective want to cameo on, now that your big boys?

Are you guys planning on still video recording the podcasts for the patreon?

super strong or invisible i reckon

Aunty Donna

Hello, Zach (very much in my top six favourite Aunty Donna boys). I was wondering if I should grow a bigger, fuller beard. Thoughts?

fire-breather or pepperoni or vegan cheeseburger

Aunty Donna

7

Aunty Donna

ahahaha. i am a smooth marketing genius imho

Aunty Donna

How many times would mark cum if mark cums a cum?

dog. actually, seal. coz a seal is a dog with flippers.

Aunty Donna

:(

Aunty Donna

HUGE!!

Aunty Donna

the epic, brutalist impact of the coal powers stations sitting in the middle of idealistic cattle farms. that contrast is very powerful i think.

Aunty Donna

Yeh look zac, be a friend help a friend buddy. Tell me why 30 mins str8t fire part 2 is the peak of human comedy and explain how comedy can possibly ever be done better?

What’s Egg Helms’ favourite sketch not in BOHOF?

fuck moogie, marry cowdoi

Aunty Donna

Oi

normal

Aunty Donna

true! but Netflix wanted original sketches, and jambalam was such an effort to get right, there was no garuntee we could rework it into something different enough and it still be good

Aunty Donna

hahaha. i was 'this' close to doing jesus for comedy bang bang

Aunty Donna

Can you tell Broden Cowdoy is a legend here in the Wild West of AZ and want him in as man episodes as possible. Thank you love you. Kissy kissy huggy huggy.

Angel Xoakim Flores

it was ... okay

Aunty Donna

YES!!!! I'll do a story on my solo insta soon. my popcorn is so good, when i went to the cinema for the first time the other week, i didnt feel the need to get popcorn, coz i felt like i'f been eating it all lockdown.

Aunty Donna

I mean, they fuck. So there’s that.

Angel Xoakim Flores

took some time off in the middle of the year. but coming up, we're taking a fairt few weeks off over chrissy i reckon!

Aunty Donna

hahahaha, na my gf ubered me some keys

Aunty Donna

Will you be reuploading the watch party videos for episodes 1-2 and 5-6? Only 3-4 is still up in YouTube. And when I watched 1-2 it got removed when I was halfway through episode 1. 😔

Patrick Kontschak

i have no rhythm., so for me, very challenging.

Aunty Donna

uuuuummmmmm..... in terms of writing, reworking ellen for screen was tough. it was a long journey to something so simple and so similar. in terms of shooting, it was all pretty easy tbh. the biggest challenge was the long shoot days and being on set all day every day.

Aunty Donna

On the racial tensions between Toogie Boogies and Moogie Woogies, do you believe a common ground will be found anytime soon, or are these two races destined to remain in violent conflict forever?

ahahaha, na broden insisted

Aunty Donna

aw bless u.

Aunty Donna

yes! I was in LA for christmas last year and went to a chinese restaurant which was real cool. but very happy to be with family.

Aunty Donna

Can I buy moustache?

Would you guys consider doing a streamed live show like what Double Denim did last week? xx

Who has the biggest dick out of you boys?

Matt Brown

Hi Zach, Rewatched the Netflix series a fuck ton and still laugh non-stop. What are the future plans for the ADCU (Aunty Donna Cinematic Universe) and when will Moogie get his big break?????

yeah ok. pretty crazy week haha!

Aunty Donna

Where is Greg?

Do you think there are more people or chairs in the world?

yeah its alright, im a bit tired tbh

Aunty Donna

Aunty Donna

Nash Lawrence

Hey Zachy, what's your favourite Domino's pizza?

What superpower would you like to have?

CK

On a scale of 1 to 10, how dům is zábavný?

George S

Was landing the Aunty Donna dominos meal deal a major milestone in your life achievements? I imagine so

David Falconer

Are you trying to fuck me, Zach? Nah seriously though whats your favourite animal?

Shut up

I'm very happy about the "gotta light" guy as abe. I wouldn't have noticed unless you said in the commentary. That's a massive get.

Jonah Morris

Eric Johnson

Fuck Mary kill: Cowdoi, Moogie, South African Sam's. Go!

Casey Glennon

Hey Zachary. Big time fan, just got one question. How big

I was surprised Jambalam wasn’t in the show? Seemed a good one for TV no?

huggingtonbear

When will your beloved Jesus character make a return on the podcast

Tenet was garbage yes ok

Yeah did you ever end up buying some of that cinema salt and using it at home?

How was your week been? With all the massive amounts of time and effort you have put into this, have you guys taken a day off yet or still going full steam?

Hey Zach, hope you are well, were you locked out of your home for long the other day?

How does it feel to create 30 minutes of straight fire?

looking back, what was logistically the hardest sketch to create/shoot in the show?

Andrei Agnew

Zachy, how are you so sexy? No homo... unless?

MoneyManSam

Did you have second thoughts about including such a niche joke such as sugar man in the SA Sams sketch?

Excited for Christmas?

How many fish in the sea

How are you, you good?

Dan Marshall
