Amber Nash (Pam Poovey) is joined by Aisha Tyler (Lana Kane) to rewatch Training Day, the second episode of Archer. Together, they unpack Lana’s taste in men, Archer’s undeniable “rizz,” and why confidence and competence are the sexiest combo.

They talk about how comedy is like being an athlete—you’ve got to train—and how Malory keeps control of Sterling. This episode also marks Cyril’s makeover, Pam’s crush on Lana, and poor Scatterbrain Jane.

Plus: Monte Cristo sandwiches, Trinette’s no-nonsense attitude, nepo babies, and Malory’s “butthole eyes.” Aisha also drops a bombshell, and the crew introduces a new segment, Two Truths and a Line.

Also in this episode: Deal Unbreaker and Operation Butthole.

Amber Nash (Pam Poovey) kicks off RePhrasing’s first season on Maximum Fun with a very special guest: Archer creator Adam Reed. Together, they revisit Mole Hunt, the pilot episode that introduced the world to Sterling Archer and his unforgettable coworkers.

Adam shares how the idea for Archer first came to him while hiking the Appalachian Trail and Spain’s Camino de Santiago — surviving mostly on boxed wine and cigarettes (and earning a trail name he didn't want). They talk about how long it took to write the pilot, finding the balance between office mundanity and spy-world glamour, and how Adam’s attention to detail shaped the show’s distinct look.

Also in this episode: the early development of Cheryl, Pam, and Krieger; the complicated relationship between Malory and Archer; a fan’s spot-on Woodhouse impression; the debut of the Ultimate Archer Reference Matrix (uARM); and yes, the surprising fact that Amber likes to dance.

Amber has some big news to break to Christian and Casey — and let’s just say they’re a little skeptical at first. But once she explains, the dingdongs finally come around: RePhrasing is officially moving to Maximum Fun!

The whole gang is on board for this next adventure, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring you Season 1 with the MaxFun family.

In this special bonus episode, Amber Nash (Pam Poovey) is joined by Executive Producer Casey Willis and Archer editor Christian Danley — to answer listener questions and celebrate the end of RePhrasing’s first season.

They dive into everything from Archer sketch cards and the unsung artists behind the show to what might have been — including alternate coma seasons like King Archer and Archer: Vikings. They talk about Mr. Ford (the character and the voice actor), car crashes, improvising in the booth, and the legendary gyro-humping scene.

Also covered: the love fans have shown for the series, the mystery of Wee Baby Seamus, and some light theorizing about what Archer and Pam may have gotten up to after the final episode.

💥 RePhrasing will return with all-new episodes on October 7th! 📺 Archer is now streaming on Hulu.

Aisha Tyler (Lana Kane) returns to RePhrasing with Amber Nash (Pam Poovey) to revisit Skytanic — Season 1, Episode 7 of Archer.

They talk about Aisha’s love of Sealab 2021, the alchemy of comedy, and how she apologizes for nothing. She shares stories from her time on Talk Soup and reflects on just how wild Archer got over the years.

Also covered: Aisha's inner torch singer, Amber’s complete ignorance about how airships work, the dastardly Trudy Beekman, delicious veal cutlets, watches for nerds, Aisha’s love for Daniel Craig, and flammable helium.
