Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast. Hey, so we got on the pod and Andy started saying that Keeves pushing 80, which I was thinking, is this a joke about age? No. Does he have a new project with 80 Bryant? But explain. No, naked guns pushing 80-milly this weekend. And Keeve, you were saying that maybe Andy is more plugged into this than you are on a day
Starting point is 00:00:21 day. Yeah, he's been tracking it for me and letting it be keeping tabs. I'm excited for my guy. How many times do I have to say it? I'm Ben Affleck. He's Goodwill hunting. I'm going to show up. at his house in a couple weeks and he's
Starting point is 00:00:31 going to be gone. You're going to get a very calm smile. Yeah, man, leave me to do this construction, bro. He finally did it. He's not will hunting. He's goodwill hunting. I do want to point out that Ben Affleck's character never calls him goodwill hunting. His full name, though, legal name
Starting point is 00:00:48 is Goodwill hunting. He changes it when he goes out west? I think so, yeah, yeah. And is that what he's doing in the movie, if you really assess it? Is he hunting for goodwill? Oh, wow. It turned it on its head. I don't think I did.
Starting point is 00:01:01 I think it was a very intentional. You almost forget, I don't know. That's what it is. But also that it's a play. We need Affleck himself, King of the DVD commentary slams, to weigh in. Yeah. Anybody who hasn't heard the highlights of Ben Affleck
Starting point is 00:01:18 doing the Army Good DVD Commentary. There's that scene with Ron Williams where he's like, Just give me a shot. Just give me some goodwill. Yeah, yeah. Lend me some goodwill. I'm just looking for goodwill.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I feel like everywhere I go I'm just hunting for goodwill I did an Emmy panel with our friend Ike Baranholtz and at some point it came up and I said you're like the other janitor in that movie and Ike immediately started doing a great bit where he was just telling
Starting point is 00:01:45 Will not to mess with the chalkboard Yeah you guys got to cut the equations You just follow me you do what I do soon You're going to be a judge of putting the ice in the urinals Oh my God that's fucking fantastic I had to text like the other day because I was doing my Emmy voting and I am very happy and very hopeful
Starting point is 00:02:05 for our friend, Eck Bernholz, best supporting actor and comedy. He's in the same category as Harrison Ford. Yeah. Just if you're a guy of a certain age, you're like, what broke right in my life that I'm in the same category as Harrison Ford? Well, yeah, it's just, you know,
Starting point is 00:02:21 somebody roped Harrison Ford into doing comedy. Yeah, there you go. There were a couple things needed to happen. I voted for you, Seth. Oh, that's right. Thank you, buddy. You know, we call fans of corrections jackals and obviously we know what we call fans of this podcast and someone said a person who is a fan of both corrections and this podcast should be called a Jack Wade. Oh, my God. Right. So there you go. It's very snugly. Very snugly. I voted for corrections too. And let me just say, having no recollection of what
Starting point is 00:02:50 the other nominees were, they can burn in hell. Oh, thanks, buddy. And I think it's a good cover that you don't because again there are a lot of them are friends of yours i genuinely don't remember hi you are me hi good to see bud you i'm great good to see you wait you're great so you don't care about frisbee okay so we can start we can definitely back off the mic sorry look you can turn down your record of all you could back off the mic just a scosh who me yeah yeah i'm just getting a lot of blow out a lot of bruffs he wanted to come in loud and hot to talk about my dead dog yes and don't get me wrong, Yoram. We love your bruffs. We never want your bruffs to leave your body.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Only your bruffs. Don't come me wrong, Yorm. We love your broths. But right now, there's too much. I just don't know if I need them, like, so deep into my ear canals out. It's just so much brus. Sorry, Yor, I hate to do this. Can you stand up a little bit so I can see those pants?
Starting point is 00:03:44 Oh, yeah, let's check out in pantaloonies. Okay. They're shorts. Oh, wait. They're shorts. So they're shorts. I just came from the swimming pool, guys. Stand up on the chair so we see some leg. Let's see where it hits on the I'll be honest. I was with Yorm when he bought him, and I encouraged him, too,
Starting point is 00:03:57 because there's swim shorts. Oh, yeah, they're good. And I thought for a pair of swim shorts, those are pretty good. I think they're good. These are the shorts. Yorm is in L.A. I saw him for my B-Day.
Starting point is 00:04:05 That's correct. Swung by. I'm told, Yorm, you haven't stopped wearing those shorts since you bought them, and that's not an exaggeration that you've worn them every day since. No, there was a different pair of black shorts that weren't quite as wild
Starting point is 00:04:17 that he was wearing every day. I wore, well, okay, I was on set. I was wearing some man-united shorts. And those ones I bought a long time ago. But I bought Man United Shorts. Then Arcator, Dave, made fun of me. I was really mad about it. He's English and was like, oh, I don't want to serve you anymore.
Starting point is 00:04:37 He was like really, he was joking around about it. But because I'm such a fair weather asshole, I also have some arsenal shorts. And those guys won over the weekend, put them on, pretended like I had just bought them. It was like, Dave, look what I did. And then he really liked me after that. But it's really just because I'm a piece of shit and I don't know anything about English football. I was going to say, for $1 million, name one player on either team.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I can't, Andy. I just like that when you ask Yoram about a pair of shorts, he starts talking about a third and fourth pair of shorts. Definitely. I just want you guys to know about the whole canon. Yeah, it's a tapestry. Were you wearing those ones or another pair of black ones? And then Yoram told us his story about two different pairs of shorts.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Yeah, but he wasn't wearing this. First of all, they were black and blue. Actually, when I was growing up, shorts were all done. The rage. 1982, shorts. Picture this. Yorma, come in, come in from playing. My dad was always yelling at me.
Starting point is 00:05:34 This is how off-track we've come from the theme of this podcast is we're talking about clothing shorts more than the actual digital shorts. Oh, my God. I will say, this week's digital short might be less memorable than the four shorts that Yorm is just described. Yorm's going to do a one-man show on Broadway called Shorts, and everyone can be like, it's going to be about the digital shorts. Shorts with a Z.
Starting point is 00:05:56 This pair, I bought to impress a caterer. Oh, my God. He does this Dave character. It is not a great British accent. 1983. Oh, my God. I'd watch the shit out of that show. Shorts were out.
Starting point is 00:06:11 But not for me. It's all I had. It's going to be like Neal's block show, but you'll just have all the shorts up on a big wall. And you'll point to this one and go, oh, that pair. I begged my mom for pants. I begged her. But no dice. Terry Claw.
Starting point is 00:06:26 She wouldn't budge. Pants were for kids whose dads didn't leave. Is your family sad, Seth? Like, how was it? How was the death? Yeah, so I do want to start by saying Frisbee passed away, and it is very sad. As sad as it was, equally funny that there were multiple major news organizations that wrote articles about it that talked about how she was Andy's arch nemesis.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Never in my wildest dreams did I think, A, that I would have the privilege of being so inextricably linked to Frisbee's demise as that good old Frisba gets so much love and coverage. I mean, what a dream come true across the board. It really was amazing. It was funny because my kids kept coming over saying, what is that? I'm like, it's another article about how your dog died. My mother-in-law sent me an article about it. I was like, oh, man, it was in New York Times. Is Frisbee breaking the net? Frisbee broke the net a little bit. It was also, it was a little bit like that. thing where every night and then people get angry, you know, this is a bad example, but if someone
Starting point is 00:07:28 were, to refer to Hillary Clinton as like Bill Clinton's wife. And it's like, she has her own accomplishments. The amount that, like, the headline had your name and not hers. I know. Like, she was worth more than just how much Andy fucking hated her. Andy Sandberg's nemesis dies. Well, I mean, the fact that also the news broke right around my birthday, it didn't hurt things. Look, I've grappled with how to handle this a lot, Seth. You know, there was a stretch of time. where I was like, you know what, this is like a hot item now. Like, this might be Chris Rock refusing to talk about the slap till he gets paid for it.
Starting point is 00:08:02 You know what I mean? I think there's a little of that, certainly. Yeah. But, you know, I mean, look, for anyone out there who wants to just make sure, like, people are actually, like, real human beings and our friends, you told me before the news broke. I did. And I feel like it was a normal response.
Starting point is 00:08:18 It was absolutely exactly what you'd want for a friend. And I also reached out and said, well, the awkward moment has finally arrived. And I also want to say I'm really proud of you because I feel like I have been, you know, throwing hints out for about a year that she's not going to live forever. And we were like, we were in her last 12 months. And you did not take your foot off the gas. And I just think that speaks to. It speaks volumes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Yeah. Well, I just feel like that would have been disrespectful to her in a lot of ways. Because she would have known. Yeah, she'd been like, hey, don't take it easy on me. Andy, but Andy, before Seth called you, did you practice your maniacal laughs at all? Or no? It's none of that. It was really, it was really good and very nice.
Starting point is 00:09:01 I was concerned as a parent about how the kids were taking it. And then once I was told that that was all in order, I did fire back a couple of things that were maybe mean. I would mean, I mean, I think anybody who listens to our pod and has heard our kids, my kids, talk about Frisbee. They could probably clock that they're doing okay. I think there was, we're texting this whole thing, Yom. So there was definitely a little discussion between us about how it was sad, but also undeniably very funny that we had, that he had to have the conversation with me. It's very funny.
Starting point is 00:09:34 You just inserted yourself into his family story. So much so that it was covered in the news. It was a little bit like, hey, dude, this is weird. I'm dating your ex-wife. Hey, man. So haven't told the kids yet, but you were my first call. My, well, we were very disappointed because we remembered the weekend that you met Frisbee. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And Lexi, it does an incredible job with saving photos. Found multiple photos of your beautiful wife, Joanna, with Frisbee. Yeah, which she sent, and they were nice. And I had memories of you and Frisbee, and I'm really bummed we didn't have a picture of it because I would have loved to have posted it on the day of her demise. For the record, showed her those photos, and she said, I remember that like it was yesterday. day and said she really liked Frisbee. That's good. See, once again.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I will also note though, Seth, like, since this became something that everyone I know started calling and texting me about because it became a national news story, a lot of people really sharing my shock that Frisbee was female. Yeah. A lot of people, like, I don't want to kick you while you're down. I feel like she's so elegant. A lot of people being like, who names a girl Frisbee? Like, with disdain in their voice like that?
Starting point is 00:10:48 That's actually, that's a better point. Yeah, not on the visuals. Nice, kind, thoughtful people, but, like, it made them a little bit mad. Yeah, okay. Seems so weird. Look, I know, I don't want to kick you a way. I don't want to kick you a way or down. Seth, your brother's dog also had a great name, which was Pickle or Pickles?
Starting point is 00:11:04 Pickles. Pickles. But that's a boy, right? Yeah, Pickles is a boy. Okay. We were dog-sitting a girl, Italian Greyhound that we fell in love with. And when our dog sitting was over, that's when we got Frisbee. And her name was Bologna.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Oh, all right. So it gets worse. it could be worse it's like the opposite of it gets better yeah the campaign not just the words I understand that that wasn't like revelatory it gets worse wait Seth are you guys already moving on to like thinking about
Starting point is 00:11:30 another little little skinny dog like that you could say rat dog I wasn't gonna say that because I would never I would never just walk you struggle around walking around the edge of the well of rat dog yeah man we look I'm not gonna be offended would you ever get another one of those creatures
Starting point is 00:11:45 of origin unknown and, like, put it in your house. Now, do you have to use a summoning spell to get a creature like that? And so, like, are you buffing out all the wood floors now from all the clack marks? What is the over-under
Starting point is 00:12:00 when a new dog does come? It'll be a different kind of dog, but you think never, or you think it's like a three-year-old? No. I think it's going to be a long break. Really? Again, the kids...
Starting point is 00:12:09 Do you publicly talk about the weirdness of your family dog history, like your parents? So I will tell this really quickly because it has resonated with me why this has been a problem in my grieving process, Keith. Okay. So when I was a kid, we got an old English sheep dog.
Starting point is 00:12:23 My dad named it Albert. When it died... Was it a girl? He got a second one, and he named it Albert. Let's see if it ran in the family. All right, sorry, Seth. I know this is a traumatic story. I won't interrupt again.
Starting point is 00:12:36 But being weird about dogs, did you hear it? He named a second dog that looks exactly the same, the same name, not Albert Jr. Yeah, just Albert. Weird that you say second Albert and not Albert the second,
Starting point is 00:12:46 We say, we do say Albert, like when we talk about them historically, we'll say Albert 2. Sure. Yeah, like Audrey, too. Okay. I got it. Oh, yeah. The fact is my parents are now on Albert 6. That is, blah, blah, blah, bonkers.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Wow, that's a strong choice. So, the thing is. That's so tight. Because, again, Frisbee was 14. And the amount of people are like, 14 is like a really long time, man. That's, that dog was around, like, a huge part of your life. Yeah. That's both true, but also.
Starting point is 00:13:16 so in my head, I'm like, yeah, but we've had Albert for like 45 years. Oh, my God. Like, genuinely. Because they all, like, sheep dogs all look alike. I mean, I know they're different Alberts, but, like, I go home and visit my family. They actively try to get one that looks. No, they don't, they don't need it to look alike, but. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:31 And when they show up, their puppies, I'm assuming the new ones? Yeah, yeah. So a kid would have noticed, like, hey, the dog got way smaller for a little while. Yes, but my dad's, my dad was walking Albert at the top of our cul-de-sac a couple years ago, and a high school friend of mine drove up the cul-cacac. and he had just gotten remarried and he was like hey mr meyers and he's like oh my god hey ken how are you he's like good this is my wife we just got married and i was just showing her my old neighborhood and he's like oh hey this is albert and then i talked for a while and then ken was like
Starting point is 00:13:58 is that the sam almer is that a 35 year old dog it's like a black mirror episode yeah it's like a black mirror at least you're not like cloning it and doing some weird genetic stuff yeah that's good Yeah, so that's on the positive tip. You're not cloning it. Pat yourself on the back for that. Yeah, yeah. He's not clinging. Although, did we keep a little frisbee DNA just to keep the options open?
Starting point is 00:14:23 I was going to say, over under on a frizz clone? Yeah, did you keep like a leg or? I will say, we dug a hole and buried her, so I know where she is. Oh. Yeah. Wait, is that how DNA works? Can you just dig them up and use any of the old kind of? It's great question.
Starting point is 00:14:37 It's great question. I think it has to be fossilized in amber. Yeah, it does seem like you can't just grab. I mean, right now it's fresh enough. There's plenty down there, but in a little while it'll just be the bones. How much time do you think I have before the DNA goes bad? Well, before it fully dries out to powder.
Starting point is 00:14:52 By the way, I love Frisbee very much. At no point was I ever, like, oh, I got to get one just like this. How long did you think it was going to be until you started asking questions? Like, how long until the DNA goes bad after her passing? You can just Google Doug to Powder Half-Life and you'll get, like, all the graphs you need. By the way, how great would it be if Andy did that for you as a favor? up and cloned her and gave it to you as a present.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Like that would be like a whole full circle. Or Andy gives me a little bit of his DNA. We mix it up together. Oh. Like a half frizz, half berg? Yeah, like a fly.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Frisberg? A Frisberg. Don't nobody draw that and make a t-shirt. From their makers of Dilbert. Frisberg. Okay. Okay, question. Would that dog like itself?
Starting point is 00:15:39 That would be a self-hating dog. Yeah. Yeah. Well, wouldn't be too different. But yeah, so anyway, though, it was, I mean, again, she was a great dog for a lot of, she, once we had kids, it was like she said, I'm not going to play anymore, I'm just going to be old. Yeah. I do feel like that was a ship that happened. And so maybe one day we'll have a dog for kids, but it was, I really did.
Starting point is 00:16:02 It made me laugh and smile that her legacy was that my friend hated her for 14 years. Like that was the other, it was also nice to be like, oh, my God, Annie and I have been friends for so long. Truly. Oh, that's nice. So she was like a demarcation. There's like a little bit of a yardstick with your friendship. Yeah. I mean, I knew this was going to happen, Seth, but it has sort of mixed my emotions up a bit
Starting point is 00:16:21 because my love, you know, for you and your family is now tied to my disdain for the dog. Yeah, but now it's almost like you're free and clear. Like the one issue, the one hurdle you had was over and my family. Right. But I feel like it's meaner to make fun of the dog now. Yeah, I don't. I don't. I genuinely don't.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I think that we need like one or two more apps than I think it's open season. Back to it. I was talking to Sandberg. Shoemaker was saying that Frisbee should maybe. probably be in the Emmy in Memorial. Oh, yeah. But that Andy correctly pointed out, like, because historically every year,
Starting point is 00:16:52 there's some massive oversight. Yeah. And they forget someone. Not from a place of malice, but I just think that, like, it would be extra bad if, like, you forgot, like, a really famous, like, sitcom director, but then Seth's dog was in. I would argue if Frisbee's not in it, that's a massive oversight.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Yeah. Because we're talking about TV legend. She's not quite legendary enough, and so I'd be worried If they put her in, they'd want to put a picture of me in, and there'd be a moment where everybody thought I'd die. What? Don't they do that with the famous dog, though? Like, didn't Lassie get one?
Starting point is 00:17:24 Lassie definitely gets it. I think you could argue Lassie had more of a cultural footprint. But Seth, but Seth, I don't believe it. And then Macaveli. Well, she's going to have a great second act. Here's one more thought. If it was the In Memorium for Podcasts, I think no question. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I think you're right. So for ours, we can just have one with one slide. In memoriam for just our podcast, I think, top line. I think that anybody's wondering why we're spending so much time on Frisbee. One, she was a big part of this pod and my life. And also, this is a digital short that I literally could not remember. I actually don't even know what we're talking about. Before we even talk about that, though, I want to talk about that I happened across an Instagram clip that I just texted you guys from Seth's other rival sister pod.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yeah. Hassan Minaj. Yes. And he's... The rival pod, not the rival guest. Right, right. No one saying Hassan's your rival. Yeah, the pod is the one he does with his brother, family trips.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Unless he is your rival. Do you want to say it on the record now? We get some clicks. No. Okay, I'm just chasing those clicks. Shit. The thing about me is I chase clicks. That's like how I spend my time.
Starting point is 00:18:29 We're never going to break through. If I can't get them click hits, dude, I just tail off. Now that's making me sad because that was also like what it felt like trying to get Frisbee was just chasing clicks. She ran across. the floor. Ah, it'd been so much better if one of us had said that to you. How does an animal's foot
Starting point is 00:18:49 just be a whole nail? Just like Raptor without the pad part. I guess it would make them fast if they're on dirt, right? Fast on dirt and useless on everything else. All right, so rival pod, clip.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Oh, so he's from Sacramento. So he was talking to you about Marine World Africa, USA. And I wish I had the time before we got on this to go listen to the whole app Because I wanted to know if that conversation kept going beyond the clip. But Marine World Africa, USA.
Starting point is 00:19:18 That was a big part of our time. I hadn't thought about it in a while. It's gone now, guys. Oh, that I know. But hearing Seth trying to even just parse out the words of, wait, Marine World Africa, USA. It's crazy. It's weird because in a commercial, I think it rolled off the tongue nicely.
Starting point is 00:19:34 It had no commas, no punctuation. I vaguely remember the song. Yeah. Yeah. Marine World. Africa, USA, something like that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and there was a couple different ones
Starting point is 00:19:45 with a couple different ads. Oh, let's see how close I was on the song. Oh, that's just the monkeys. Like, hey, hey, hey, the monkeys. Killer whale, full-on tiger running. A lot of dirt, motorcycles. This is a ball pit with a, I'm sorry. A giant Garfield.
Starting point is 00:20:09 A ball pit with a bunch of. kids and a person in a Garfield in a giant Garfield mascot costume. That is a huge Garfield. And now that is Hey Hey, Hey, where the monkeys, like, they must have approved that, right?
Starting point is 00:20:23 Or not. Or they were like, we're just going to rip off all the IP. We're not going to go to Garfield. I got to say, these are pretty good ads. I immediately want to go there. I've only went once as a kid and I wanted to go all the time. That's really worked. I never went. You never got to go to Marine World? Never went. Just saw the
Starting point is 00:20:38 commercials a million times. It was just in Vallejo, according to Hassan. Oh my God, wait, wait. Let's just watch one second of this. I mean, this looks great. We're at Marine World, Africa, USA, and we're just about ready, Wayne, to see another kind of water scheme. Right, Bob, we've had a chance to see some exciting competition. This is real.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Those are real people. But there's another dimension to the sport, and that's show scheme. This is a 30-minute video. I'll hit stop here, but I mean, it looks great. This looks like Waterworld, practically. In my experience of the Bay Area where the water is frigid
Starting point is 00:21:15 and you would never think of doing water sports, I never heard of somebody doing water sports my entire childhood, did you guys? Like, you didn't know people that went water skiing. No, of course not. Of course not. Just at summer camp. Apparently, we just had to go to Belayo, though.
Starting point is 00:21:29 That's where it was popping off. Yeah. Where they were all freezing their asses off and getting laid up. Just E-40 and sugar tea and be legit all hanging out. Yeah, just water skiing all over the place. Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast comes from Airbnb. Hey, this summer I took my son Ash. We went to Amsterdam. We stayed in an Airbnb and we made incredible memories. Core memories, one might even say. And I got to thinking, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:55 when you're on the road and you're having your vacation, if your home is empty, you could host, be an Airbnb host and help offset your vacations. And, you know, when I think about the guys, Andy, great place. He should definitely turn it into an Airbnb when he's gone. Same is true of Keeve. Anyway, your home could be worth more than you think. Find out how much at Airbnb.com slash host. Support comes from Shopify. Hey, buddy, it's Seth.
Starting point is 00:22:20 And he couldn't be here for the ad read because he is at a rave celebrating the death of my dog.

Starting point is 00:24:01 both podcasts and I want to apologize for you. Oh, are you not allowed to reuse? No, somebody basically just pointed out like, hey, and I was like, yeah, you're right. I got to pick and choose where I do it. But, Andy, I want to thank you because I did try talking about it on stage, which you recommended it, and it's a lot of fun. Oh, good. I'm glad.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Yeah. And do you think that as a way to repay me, you could ask about spelling me? Oh, yeah. How'd you do today, bud? Queen me, motherfucker. Yeah. And your fucking face. Somebody suggested that when you tell us you got Queen Bee, we should say righteous skill.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Oh. I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that. I think Quibi is fine. Quibby is fine. Yeah. Andy, there was a nice toopee be.
Starting point is 00:24:41 bag in our shared office when I went in yesterday. Yeah. And it was like a dark gray and it said New York Times. Yeah. On one side and on the other side, it had a bunch of bees buzzing. That's right. And you've been wearing the hat, but it said genius. And I immediately was like, oh, he can't wear this.
Starting point is 00:24:55 He can't tow it around this tote bag. That's right. Because he's not. He's a queen bee. He's not genius. I appreciated the thought quite a bit, but I can't have to be walking around everyone thinking I'm fucking lowly genius. Yeah. So you need Queen Bee gear.
Starting point is 00:25:07 It's either it's quibby or bust. Yes. I just want to know if the New York Times makes a solid one because that's the one I would like. Do you think there are people in Mensa who look down on people who just got over the line? Probably. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:25:24 Wouldn't you? Yeah. I mean, I think it's silly that there's everybody over whatever, 145 and, you know, if you're like rocking a 180, you're like, I'm fucking hang out with this. I really like the idea of a t-shirt or a sweatshirt that's just as solid in the font. If they don't make it, I'll make it.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Don't worry. nice i mean today was no slouch south there was microform there was micro mini microform was the one i missed it would be really awesome i mean yorm it should be solid and it should also be like three words on the top that you've got and it's all like cake it's like a bunch of four-letter words make rake i'll work on it Seth you know I will make right I know you'll I'm done I'm done solid Solid. Boy, we are doing everything we can to not talk about this short. Can we just watch it?
Starting point is 00:26:17 I mean, look, I watched it right before, and my opinion is I don't want to talk about it because I had nothing to do with it, so I don't want to speak out of turn. I can just tell you what it is, but I don't actually remember any details of it. I have not re-watched. I was hoping there was going to be, there's a little bit of some turnage in it towards the end, but it's a lot of style. Yeah. More burnage than turnage, as you like to say.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Wait, can I ask just one question? What's the name of the short that we're talking about? It's in our text chain. It's Brenda and Sean. Oh, I do not remember this. No, no. So this was because we had such a great time with body fusion. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:53 And that was, it's Drew Barrymore. She was like, we got to do another body fusion. Like, what is there? And I was like, that came from polar. I just put style on it. I was like, I don't really have one. But I was kind of like, let's like go room to room and see if people, have something. Because it hadn't come from us. I was just kind of open, and I love body fusion
Starting point is 00:27:13 too. We've talked about it. Yeah. So I was really happy to do another body fusion thing. And we went around trying to find something to body fusion. And at a certain point, I don't know if it had gone to the table at some point or if it was just something rattling around. Fred had this bit he would do as a magician. Which is funny. Yeah. And we were just like, oh, could we turn that into something? And so that's where this came from. Wait, is this worth like a watch? Have we ever watched like one that we don't remember yeah let's just watch it yeah if you guys should see it i did watch it so it's going to be hell for me but okay just try that audibly grown i mean it's on youtube that's a good sign that you know didn't get shelved 76 000
Starting point is 00:27:54 views hi we're brenda and sean are you looking for entertainment for your party let us well it wasn't posted when it came out it was posted well after it came out i mean 11 years ago yeah 76,000 views. That's like 7,000 a year, Sass. That's pretty good. I'm embarrassed that I like. I'm sort of impressed at the magic. Graduation.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Engagements. Okay, so just pause real quick. So Brenda and Sean seem to have one move. Yeah. That's me. Which is sort of throwing this little, what do you even call them, Your Honor? And it's the light up thumbs that anyone can use. All you do is press a little thumbs that make it seem like you have like a little fairy in your hand or something.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Because a little glowing bit of energy. Yeah. It's like your E.T. So it's, you know, it has that body fusion old retro. I mean, by the way, it looks like Marine World Africa, USA. It does look exactly. It's shot like an ad from that. And they're just showing up at different places, graduations.
Starting point is 00:29:01 But it does seem like they're showing up maybe uninvited and now they're showing up at an engagement. I mean, their outfits and looks, hair, everything, are great. They're being tolerated. Yeah. This guy, one of the most used extras in SNO history. Yeah. Medical emergencies. Bobby's got a head injury on a bike.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Yeah. He's less enamored with their arrival. Meeting your biological father. It's my faith. I like how much Drew looks like she's having a ball. Bankruptcies. Oh, they're the one's going bankrupt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:41 By far, my favorite shot in the whole thing. Fred is struggling with the books because they're going bankrupt. And it pushes in on him and he's got a pen in his hand. And he puts his hand against his head because he's so stressed out. And the little light on his thumb lights out. Yeah. Not as part of an illusion. No, just out of stress.
Starting point is 00:30:02 That to me is the whole deal right. His mind is on something else now. Yeah. life choices. It just lets it kind of go. Eviction. Getting evicted there and Drew is still selling the energy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:16 And Lutz is the landlord. Oh, no. Now they crow, I guess. Pigeon. Making new friends. Got it. They're like busking and getting arrested. Road trips.
Starting point is 00:30:31 That shot made me laugh too. I'm still doing the bit in the back of the cop car. We're Brenda and Sean. And we are available. Let us light up your life. Not bad. I mean, it tells a little story. It goes somewhere.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Eve. Akiva. Akiva. Akiva. Akiva. Akiva. Seth, can I? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:50 So when they're eating the crow, is that just like a super clever metaphor about how they thought their business was going to work? But it didn't. And now they're eating crow. You got to tell us. Yeah, do you remember? I think it was just probably a pigeon and it just looks like a crow.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Oh, okay. Okay. Thanks I love your blog by the way Thank you so much for having you Thank you so much Oh man They only gave me one question
Starting point is 00:31:14 So I got to go Yeah it's my time Pretty sure I thought I was for sure Spot on with that one All right So I'll see you in the lobby So is that
Starting point is 00:31:26 Do you rent a cop car Kee? God I have no memory of any of this I don't remember Shooting that at all I think a bunch of our security guards at SNL were part-time police and could call somebody.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Just wave one down. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think they probably pay them a little bit the way that when you do like a movie and you're shooting on a street, you always have tons of real cops with you. So it's the way Lauren does with the SNL cast. He pays them a little bit. Exactly. He's got the NYPD on the payroll.
Starting point is 00:31:52 That's what I'm saying. But the police are used to being paid by entertainment in a real way because they have to provide security when you're doing stuff. It makes it sound like what you're talking about it is illegal, though, Keith. I know, but I don't think it. It's weird at all. It's like approved by the city. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Yeah. The strokes famously said New York City cops, they're not that smart. Agree? Oh, wow. I don't know what this podcast is for. It's so hot. The temperature is very hot. You know, it just makes you feel like a real whack-a-doodle.
Starting point is 00:32:24 It is 96. Yeah. You guys are really jaded. And so you probably don't give a shit. But you know what? I'm going to make you look out the wind. Fuck, I bet if I do this, it's going to, look. You know, look out the window and see what are you, it says?
Starting point is 00:32:36 Oh, the space needle. Oh, you're in Seattle. Seattle. I'm in Seattle. That's nice. It is nice. You have a show tonight? Hey, Seth, I have a show tonight.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Been to any grunge shows? I'm doing grunge, yeah. Had any good Java? I've had some job, and tonight I'm going to do my first grunge show. By the way, Seattle does have fucking incredible coffee. Seattle's best. I had some really good sushi today for lunch. You had some good sushi, sure.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Probably go down to Pikes Place and watch you throw the fish around. and throw the fish around. Wait, did we already talk about that? We went to, during the Hot Rod Press, we went to a Mariners game, and when they hit a home run, it said Funk Blast. Did we cover that on the Hot Rod episode? I don't know if we did.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Well, didn't we talk about the failed sketch Funk Blast? I think we talked about it. Maybe it was later. Funk blast. Foam blast. It would say it up there. We were on the, I think we talked about it. We were like, that can't be right.
Starting point is 00:33:27 On the Hot Rod promo trail, they're like, hey, today you get to go to a Mariners game. We're like, hell yes. And we're just sitting there, and someone hits home running up. Huge up on the screen and we're like, wait, is everybody else seeing this? They're like, is this a bit? And everyone's like, yeah, funkblah!
Starting point is 00:33:42 This is the major league baseball. We all have kind of a common group of words. And like, we all kind of know what the main things are that we say about home. These games are nationally televised a lot. We are not going to some weird podunk. I don't know. It's pretty exciting. You could go see a funk blast thing.
Starting point is 00:34:00 What would you describe as poeunk on the record? Just asking questions. This guy's really trying to get some of those frisbee clicks. I'm feeding for the clicks. Now that this frisbee thing hit, I'm just addicted to the clicks. Put them in my vein. Push them in my chest. Wait, if somebody...
Starting point is 00:34:18 Push the clicks into my chest. Push the clicks into my chest. Who could text somebody the Zoom link? No information right now. Get somebody to get on the pod. I will say people, a lot of good feedback. People did like the, the, the, the, the, the, going to pop in and the, uh, this Stephanie.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Oh, good. That's what you want. Yeah. We should start cold texting a Zoom link with no context to one person at the beginning of each pod and see if they, see if anyone clicks. Yeah. Anything else to say about Brendan and Sean? Uh, I asked Lutz. I sent him a just a picture of just him. Okay. I said, give me a voice note. Tell me what you think this is from. Do you think he remembered? Yes. No. No. I don't. Hi, Lonely Islands. This is John Lutz. Your favorite extra in every one of your digital shorts.
Starting point is 00:35:09 I think that this is a still of me from a digital short with Drew Barrymore and Fred Armisen, who were magicians who had little tiny dots on their fingers, the little light things that you do with your thumb that they just thought was really cool, I guess. That is all that I remember of the digital short. I don't know if it's the right one, but I think I was like a super at an apartment building, and they were doing the lights in front of us,
Starting point is 00:35:40 and we were supposed to look like it was not cool. I hope I'm right, and I don't know what I win, if I get it right, but I hope it's something good. A signed copy of a DVD of the Naked Gun movie? Do they make those anymore? Okay, goodbye, Lonely Islands. Well, what he won is my failure to guess correctly that he would give...
Starting point is 00:36:06 Or your respect, I guess? Yeah. Yeah. My respect. He didn't remember the name, Brendan and Sean, so in my opinion, he failed. Yeah. I'm not going to give full credit or anything. Oh, good. So I'm not totally demoralized.
Starting point is 00:36:18 You know, every comment under Brenda and Sean is very positive saying it's underrated. And I will say that me, I thought it was going to be dog shit. And compared to some dog shit ones we play, it actually at least holds together and has It's super charming. I mean, it's Fred doing a bit. There's never going to be a bad version of that. No, and it's nice and tight and tells a little story. No, but that's the least we've ever talked about, a short.
Starting point is 00:36:41 That's why I mean, I just want to go on the record saying that I was pleasantly surprised. Yeah, we're not running from it. We just don't have much to add. No. Guys, hit us in the tittist. Do we over or underrate Brenda and Sean? And you know what? Let's see if we can get it over $76,000 by the end of the year.
Starting point is 00:36:56 But that's what it's had now. Okay. See if we can get it to $77,000. by the next five years. I will say, seeing how much Drew seemed to really enjoy doing that, I found it very charming. She's selling it.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Andy, we have some people who wrote in with some questions and also just some information, including that Andy Sandberg's stuntman suit from Hot Rod is up for auction. You have a link for that? I do. Hold on. I'm going to put in the chat. How much we talk? It opens at 1,500.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Better than I was expecting. But is that Yorm's bid? I did bid on the, Miata when we were selling that, but I lost that one. The McGurber Miatta. Well, because I wanted to make it into a stock racing car and then have him go around and race other miatas and then come in dead last every time.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Like, just really slowly creep around the garage. I like to think about Yoram bidding on the Hot Rod outfit and winning it and then having like a video of himself in the mirror being like, this time you're rock. This time you're in charge and he's a fan of you. He's Kevin. He's Kevin and he's going to give you a present. Oh my, oh, it's your leather.
Starting point is 00:38:00 suit at the end. It's your evil-cneville suit. Oh, dude, that should be higher than I mean, leather. Wait, is it the leather one from the end? Yeah, that's awesome. That's a good, uh, that's a memorabilia. What do you think about leather, you guys? I mean, just ask questions, you know, but like, do we support it? Rod was gifted the suit
Starting point is 00:38:16 by his trusty pick crew in advance of the climatic moment. You're going to look like a champion. Tacone's Kevin tells Rod in the scene, as he gives his half-brothers to give. That's truly my favorite line that I got to say in the movie, guys. Ticone called it my favorite line of my lines in the movie. noting the whack earnestness of the line.
Starting point is 00:38:34 That's a quote from this podcast. As I was saying it again. I like, I mean, it's tough to beat cool beans. Yeah. I mean, to beat cool beans out of nowhere for a favorite line. Per the auction's estimates, the item is expected to fetch between $3,000 and $6,000, a small fraction of the $50,000 heart transplant Frank needed. Oh, I really love this write-up.
Starting point is 00:38:59 I agree. That's a good copy. Thank you. Whoever wrote that. When does it go up? September 4th. All right. So for anybody listening to this,
Starting point is 00:39:07 screenbeat.substack.com is the, who wrote this article. Screenbeat.com substack? Like, if you need to Google this, Andy Sanver Stamanceu from Hot Rod is up for auction, that's the headline. And then what's the link? What's the place doing it? I want to give the Quades a chance to spend more than $6,000 on it.
Starting point is 00:39:25 No, but a chance. Wait, wait. How do you find this stuff? Because, honestly, occasionally you find stuff that you send us that I'm like, how do you get this? How did I find that? Oh, you found this? No, so one of the Quaid Armies found it and sent it to it. Okay, that explains that. Thank you, Seth.
Starting point is 00:39:41 So PropStoreauction.com is the website that sells props. And this is kind of cool. Like, for example, Yorm, I didn't find out that there's a town in Germany called Quadesburg, but there is. And now we know that. It's got all kinds of cool shit. Yom, you can get a single storyboard from. 1991's film Hook. How much, though?
Starting point is 00:40:04 Andy, I want to tell you something because I was very proud of myself. Because, again, I did not remember Brendan and Sean at all. But I looked at this run through and I remembered something about your weekend update feature. You played Scrooge McDuck.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Do you remember playing Scrooge McDuck? I remember playing Scrooge and I don't remember what the joke was. The joke is kind of all over the place. Great. It's basically definitely we're writing jokes about a financial crisis and you're really happy you invest it in gold.
Starting point is 00:40:28 but then there's that really nice second half of it you wrote it with simon rich the second half is that because you swim around in gold coins they're really dirty and you have an infection and the level of the infection is you weren't born a duck oh my god that's a good joke that's a really good joke yeah and uh and then you go into a lot of like and trust me they can't reverse it because you've got the money for health care it's really good however i'm so proud of myself because i remember Remember, something crushed at Dress and then didn't at Air. So I had Kevin send me dress as well. At Dress, you say your three keys to investing is collect gold coins, put them in a big pile, and then goes swimming in it. Yeah. A applause break. Air, nothing. And you're wearing a dumb beak and glasses.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Do you have that clip handy? I have both. I have both. Seth, my investment strategy has always been very simple. Step one, convert all money into gold coins. Step two, put all the coins into a pile. Step three, swim around in those coins. Oh, my God, applause break.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Oh, my God, yeah, I loved it. And you're real happy. Yeah. Let's just say you're real happy. Flip some coins. I'm like, it worked. Oh, my God. I'd like to see this.
Starting point is 00:41:57 my investment strategy has always been very simple step one convert all money into gold coins step two put all the coins into a pile step three swim around in those coins that's your whole strategy what does your accountant think about that it didn't die die didn't die but you can tell because you give the quietest
Starting point is 00:42:23 like yeah yeah I can definitely read Andy's face of the um you got a little a few applause and the run-up is the same the like little laughs at each thing going to it so you really think you're on the same ride um i have to show you because i sent this to solomon and forte there was a hamilton in this episode oh no hamilton gets the weirdest recognition applause which is maybe two people and one of them just does like so just at the entrance here we've all been there you know oh i sure do uh any other questions I have a question
Starting point is 00:42:59 Another attempt at clapping There's one third clap Oh no By the way The rest of the sketch Picks up Steen No but it's somebody who wanted to clap Of being like
Starting point is 00:43:18 Oh we're all going to clap Because we know the character It's weird to clap for him Because he's the most detestable character Yeah So I feel like people get the middle. There's a great line in that Hamilton where he's trying to win back
Starting point is 00:43:29 Drew Barrymore. They were former lovers. Look, there are so many things that you would have to change. I don't know where to start. Start towards the end. Yeah. Yeah, that's really good. Support comes from
Starting point is 00:43:47 Viori. Hey, everybody. It's Seth here.

Starting point is 00:46:27 Seth, there's a sketch in the rundown that aired that I wrote with Rob Klein and Marica Sawyer called Cooking Al Fresco. Yes. Do you remember it? I'm going to say, attacked by birds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:40 It's a cooking show. We're trying it on the roof. Birds immediately attack us and start eating the food. I think it played pretty good. There's one moment in it that I remember I found very, very funny. Something a little safer, mariner sauce.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Good idea. Mariner sauce now. A lot of the jars that marineros sauce... They're dipping the ground in front of the dog. There it is. Oh, a close superfluor. They got a little scoop. Keeps cutting a cooking alfrasco.
Starting point is 00:47:22 We'll be right back. They're dipping the bread and the sauce I remember being pretty happy about. You and Klein often wrote things that would get interrupted by a title card that said tactical difficulties. Yes, yes. Things would often go haywire
Starting point is 00:47:34 and then you'd have to cut away. I asked Klein less than a minute ago for a voice note about cooking alfresco. I don't know what this is. Let's see. Okay, cooking alfresco really fast. That was a fun one. Only memory at the end of the sketch
Starting point is 00:47:48 there's a dead skeleton that drops on the table at one point during rehearsal it fell out of nowhere and almost killed Drew Barrymore and they had to practice they could never get it to land on the table practiced it dropping it like 20 times
Starting point is 00:48:02 did it at dress fell off the table did it at air I think it stayed on the table thanks Rob Fred Armisen just joined our podcast I like to surprise everyone on this podcast including our special guest yeah I was going to say
Starting point is 00:48:17 it seems a lot like Yorma sent him the link as a goof Hi Fred Hey, what's going on? Fred, did you pull a car over? I pulled over. Good. Yeah, that's good for you.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Everybody out there, let that be a lesson to you. Fred, what do you remember? You and Drew Barrymore, a digital short called Brenda and Sean. Oh, that was because we had these toys that were like for magic tricks. I don't even, who were they originally? Were they Akiva's or somebody? It's like, or Yormas, it's like, if you press the thumb, it's up red.
Starting point is 00:48:48 We just watched it, so we know exactly what you're talking about. talking about. Okay, okay. So I don't remember how, like, how we got them, but the whole was based on that's their magic trick. That's their, that's what we can do. And that was it. That was like the main part of the whole thing. Yeah. It's small, but it's accomplishing what it's setting out to. It tells a little story. Do you remember what happens in it after? No, I don't remember what happened. It's, it's an ad for them selling this as like, we're magicians hire us for your things. Okay. And as it goes on, the things go from being normal ones to being more parts of their lives.
Starting point is 00:49:24 So it tells a little story. It was better than I read than we thought. But, you know, the Quaid Army is going to weigh in on if it was actually better than we thought. So I don't want to put words in their mouth. But I'm kind of more surprised that those thumb things didn't take off as a product, as merchandise. You know, like, why have they disappeared? They exist. My son just got some, and I will say they're pretty fun.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Yeah, it's just you need kids around to have them. I don't think they were ours in the office. There is that thing, Fred, when you work on the 17th floor at S&L, like you see a lot of stuff that you just stop seeing when you stop working at S&L. That's true. Where did all the rubber chickens go? There used to be rubber chickens in every room I'm walking to.
Starting point is 00:50:04 I feel like there's not giant baskets of freshly made popcorn. Everywhere I go. I remember there were like Hulk fists. Yep. That you made the rounds. You know, like gigantic. Those work their way. Well, and Horatio's jazzy that Ozzy born,
Starting point is 00:50:20 And rest of peace, rest of peace gave him. Well, anything there was clearly made it into one of our shorts at some point. Yeah. That's why people sent free stuff because they'd be like, maybe it'll end up on the show. Yeah, we're always just like, immediately, we'll put it in. What was the one we just did? It was, oh, the Transformers mask.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Fred, do you ever remember crushing a dress and then having it die at air and in the moment wondering what happened? Oh, of course. Like, yeah, that happened. Whenever that happened, I feel like I always blamed something else. It's like, oh, the sound wasn't good or something, something that like... You remember the story? Can you tell the story about the member of the Roomba that didn't work at air and what the crew guy told you?
Starting point is 00:50:58 What, the Roomba? You had, like, you had an apartment that was all voice activated. Like, you would say, like, turn on music. And this was very... I remember this one. And that was Megan Malawi, I think, right? Yeah. That's an early one.
Starting point is 00:51:12 And it was like, yes, like, lights on. Music on. And what happened with the Roomba? That's right. Like, it didn't work. it didn't work but then a guy came up to you after it crushed a dress and then it didn't move at air and then a guy came up to you and said hey sorry about that Freddie we forgot to turn it on oh that's so honest I like that yeah it's much better I forgot to turn on I know you're out there in front of millions of people and you completely ate shit and you're pretty new on the show and it might completely sink you but hey what you can do we did figure it out we did pin down what went wrong your memory when that happened, like something crushed a dress and died at air. Did you? I was so,
Starting point is 00:51:54 I was the most nervous when something had crushed a dress. And I feel like back when I was in the sketches, like I was tight to a place where I could never hit the heights of like the, like all the joy went out of it because I was like, just hold serve. But we've talked about on this pod, how sometimes our shorts would play different address and air and they'd be the same edit. Yeah. And that was a real proof of, that was like the way to prove it's not us, it's them, the audience being different. Yes, that way we could decidedly walk into the writer's room
Starting point is 00:52:25 and go, this audience sucks. I remember that, yeah. It's official. You almost opened always with it's official. Fred, where are you? Yeah, where are you driving? I'm in L.A.
Starting point is 00:52:43 You can give the exact address. You won't be there by the time you say it's not going to air. on Riverside Boulevard. Oh, like Burbank, Toluca Lake. Ah, the Californians. He's doing his bit, you guys. He's going to do it. Riverside, heading over to the 5.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Yeah. Nice. No, I'm just driving around because this time of year, it's so pretty. So I'm just looking at the trees. Right. It's just, like, as the season changes, like, it's just, it's subtle, but so beautiful. Yeah, and, like, sort of like, all of the cherry blossoms and sort of using that as a. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Yeah, yeah. Because it's sort of like an analogy for all of life and existence. Just marking the passage of time. Yeah. Yes, I love it. So I just spent the rest of the day doing that. All right. And how's that big old hog doing, bitch?
Starting point is 00:53:30 I got you. I got you, dude. I got you. I got you, friend. Oh, my God, dude. You shouldn't have called in. This is one of those click-baked cast, brother. I need them clicks.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Damn it. This is such a new character. You know, I knew, I actually did not know, this was going to be and Yorma was just like hop on real quick. I know what this was. That was the challenge. I'm sorry. This is my new bit. This is my new character is that I attack
Starting point is 00:53:57 people, friends of ours. Your new character? With our pot. Yeah. Hey, you're on the air. Caller. Caller, go ahead. Hey, Fred, you anything you need to promote Wednesday? Oh, yeah, please. I don't know. You're coming off. It's desperate. Just bring it back. Dial it back and keep going.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Please. Please. Please, sirs and madams. If you could find it in your heart. Like, even just leave it on, even if you don't watch it, just we're asking you. Just watch Wednesday. Yeah, that's good. We don't ask for much, please. To this day, Alexi, who I think maybe her favorite thing, she ever saw in SNL was you and
Starting point is 00:54:35 Wig doing Garth and Cat. Sometimes she will just, at some point, we'll go, please, Mr. Miners. Oh, that's so good. The fact of you guys call me Mr. Miners. Please, sir. What else did you guys talk about in this? Like, what were the other, or was it just that Drew Barrymore one? We talked a little bit about Drew Barrymore.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Andy played Scrooge McDuck, ate shit on air. It didn't really. Pretty good Scottish accent, though. Pretty good Scottish accent. Also, Andy was really, you know, back, this was back in the day where it was shocking to see somebody with a beak on weekend update. Yeah. Now it's basically.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Requisite. Yeah. And you know who's in heaven? Me, watching it. Oh, I think you were going to say Frisbee. You thought I was going to go negative, Keeve. I really did. I thought you were going to say Frisbee because we talked about Seth's dog dying.
Starting point is 00:55:24 When they go low, I go Clicks. This guy's all about the cliques. We actually spent most of this talking about Frisbee. Sorry, Fred. I'm walking on air because Seth's dog died. So I'm feeling super juice this week, dude. Oh, Seth, I'm so sorry. Thanks, bud.
Starting point is 00:55:39 It's okay. No, I mean, obviously it's sad. It's not okay. No, it isn't. Take time to process it, Seth. You don't have to just brush it off. I don't accept it. Death isn't something you should accept.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Oh, interesting take. Very American. Yeah, maybe you should go drive around, Seth. You know what I mean? Just to think about the passage of time and the blossoms. You think it's like the one stage of grief and it's just denial. Yes. Stay in denial.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Always stay in denial. First stage, that's it. There's only one stage of grief. Pull up a chair and stay. Now that's a therapist I'd like to see. Fred, be the one-step-only denial therapist for Yorm. Yom, go. Sorry, not Yoram.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Seth, you're the one who's ugly dog died. All right, Seth. Seth, sorry, say, Yorm, butt out. I just, look, my dog died, and I just, she was such a huge part of my life. And it's just like, there's this real hole right now, you know? Unacceptable. Did your dog die? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Well, unacceptable. This is unacceptable. Yeah, but I don't see. I mean, she's not. I can't physically see her. No. Stay in denial. Stay, Seth.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Stay with me. There's a lot of people you can't physically see right now. You don't know what they're doing. Yeah, exactly. Are you saying she just might be elsewhere? Yes. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:59 I think that's the most likely thing is what this therapist is saying. Gotcha. That's a more advanced denial than I was expecting, actually. Yeah, it almost, it did kind of start making me sad. And if people ask you, Seth, you've got to be like, nope. No, she didn't. I don't know. If your kid seems sad, just be like, what are you sad about?
Starting point is 00:57:16 No, she just left. I wish I had a soundboard right now, and every time a car went by, I could just play a horn, like Fred had stopped in the middle of the road. You could fuck you! The fuck you! And then every fifth person recognizes him. Sorry, I'm on the 405. Oh, California! Heading down Kewanga Boulevard.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Oh, come on, I'm loving this. For real, what part of Riverside on? Where did you drive from? I drove from rehearsal with the go-goes. Oh, that's cool. Playing a benefit tomorrow, and we practiced today, and it was really fun. This won't come out until after that happens. What's the song?
Starting point is 00:58:05 Oh, it's like eight songs. It's a whole bunch of songs, yeah. Oh, okay. What's your favorite one? There's a song called Head Over Heels. It sounds great. Awesome. This is a live concert somewhere?
Starting point is 00:58:14 Live concert. Yeah. And you're going to be a surprise guest? I don't think it's a surprise. Their bass player lives in England, so I'm just playing bass for it. Oh, you're playing bass. And this is a pro fracking fundraiser? Pro fracking.
Starting point is 00:58:28 A gentle pro fracking, not like... In your face. We're pro fracking. Just like, hey, FYI, we're kind of pro fracking. Let's move on from the conversation. Yeah. Just listen to some... Enjoy the tunes.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Just nice and gentle. I think I know that song, actually, Fred. It's something happening and I'm out of me. That's the one. That's the go-go's, right? Yeah. Are we making you late for something right now, Fred? Like, what do you?
Starting point is 00:58:50 No, he's just checking out the foliage. Okay. What you told us? It's going from, like, green to like light brown, which is so pretty. Oh, nice. Currently. Yeah, like just a little off green. What temperature does your dashboard say it is right now?
Starting point is 00:59:03 It is, no joke. 94 degrees. Yep. Yeah, proof. I bet we're going to be all right, though. I think it's all going to go fine. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Where are you guys? We're around. Anaheim. Yeah, we're all in Anaheim. Separate rooms. We're at the Honda Center because we're playing the triangle for the B-52s.
Starting point is 00:59:25 I don't know. Isn't it wild? Seriously, not as a bit. Isn't it wild that none of us moved to Anaheim? Like after S&L. Not as a bit? It's so wild.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Disneyland there and stuff. Like none of us were like, oh, we're all going to end up in Anaheim. Yeah. If you had to say somebody moved to Anaheim, I would say Bobby. Moynihan because it was closer to Disney. Right.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Is he a full Disney adult though or just? No, I don't think so, but he would, if I had to put my money on one. Yeah. Because that's Star Wars part of Disneyland now. Yeah. Which is pretty incredible, by the way. Not to like, jock the mouse. This guy's always jacking the mouse.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Oh, you caught me jacking the mouse again. And man. Anyway, hit us in the tinnis. Does jock and the mouse have legs? Yeah, I think that's going to come back. Give him in a cli-onks, bitch. Thanks for calling in, Fred. We really love seeing you.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Yeah, I love you, buddy. Yeah, be careful out there on those roads. I miss you. It's great to see you. I'll hop on back in a minute. I'll talk to you. Sounds perfect. This is getting closer to Yorm's dream of like a morning radio show.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Yeah. People call in. And talk about the commute. Collar, go ahead. Ooh, Collar, don't drive off a cliff, caller. The four shock jocks is coming in. Bye, Fred. Love you, buddy.
Starting point is 01:00:41 I'll talk to you later. Bye, Fred. Bye, he's not going to get off. No, he's just going to keep doing it. At least they're driving and just ignore the phone. No, no, then he did go. He might just turn off his camera. God damn it.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Oh, man, I think he's going to hop back on at some point. Well, guys, what can I say? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Is there a Seth's Corner? No, it was kind of a... But I will say, you know what? It's a great sketch first time... There was no Seth's corner this week.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Seth was halla lazy and he didn't do anything. Don't take it away, Seth. I mean, I'm sure he did a couple things just now we're talking. You have your name on the cold open. But he's not proud of it, guys. Don't force the issue. He's trying to ditch out. There's Larry King with his name.
Starting point is 01:01:22 I mean, he's all over. Yeah, I mean. There's probably offensive material in it that he'd rather sidestead. He helps with Vinny talks to Vinnie Vodice. Yeah, I watched Vinnie Voditchie. By the way, I also just weird timing. Just watched E.T. With my boys for the first time, Drew Barrymore so insanely good.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Oh, yeah. So good. Yeah. And did you know that she's actually a kid in that? It's nuts. It's not CGI. That was her age. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:45 She was like 10. They didn't deep fake a baby face. I'm sure a million podcasts that do recapped. You just said it's Nazi GI. It's a soldier, a Nazi soldier. That's what you said. Nazi GI, yes. Yeah, that's what the AI thinks you said.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Oh, I got you. Hit us in the tittis. Guys, what do you think, Seth? Yeah, it's Nazi GI. And you're like, whoa, like you think that's good. Anyway, I'm walking on air, Frisbee, go. Man, I got to do a tribute on your show, Seth. I don't know when.
Starting point is 01:02:16 don't know when you're dark right now your show's dark so it's hurting my my tribute but i don't have anything prepared so it's good yes we're we're it's called morning it's not called the show's dark it's called it we're in morning oh is that why yeah mbc s just to take time off to heal a pitch a pitch maybe the i'll be missing you performance but you do the ditty version and dress like ditty yeah oh really really good idea okay hey you want to click bait fucking coming up Let's see how this line that Andy can walk is like, yo, I'm so likable. I'm going to make fun and says dead dog.
Starting point is 01:02:52 Nobody's going to blame me. I'm going to do it as ditty. I'm going to do it as ditty. Wait, I was going to say, hey, look, I know a million people do like movie recaps and have probably talked about this. Yeah. End of E.T.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Yes. Just like, there's a lot of, like, I feel like they're not locking down the site particularly well. Oh, I'd have to read. Like, you know, the feds. Yeah. Like, it just seems like it's way too easy. Well, but aren't they, aren't they more like,
Starting point is 01:03:15 scientist feds, you know what I mean? Like, they're not used to this. There's a lot of guys. They're not used to it. Like guns and stuff chasing them around in their BMX bikes. But they, like, fully just, like, kind of get into a van. It's like a white van that's got ET in the back of it and feels like there's not a lot of security.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Well, you don't expect kids to drive. That's the fun. Did your kids like it and were they scared and were they sad? Super scared for the first 45 minutes, then loved it and not sad. Grossed out by ET or just loved him? Loved them. I think more scared than grossed out, but, like, the most scared than grossed out, But, like, the minute the Andy and I took a very iconic photo of he and I is Elliot and E.T. once.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Oh, yeah. And the bike. To us, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. When the bikes take off, the kids were just over the moon. No, but what about the part in the ravine, Seth, when they find the, like, he's almost like a body in the ravine when you look down. That's the terrifying to me. They were mostly scared of him being scary. They weren't.
Starting point is 01:04:07 And much like Frisbee, they didn't really mind when they thought he was dead. Oh. Okay. Okay. I've tried maybe once a year to get my kids to watch it. They take one look at E.D. and go, nope. Yeah, I get it. This episode has the first ESPN classic, Pete Twinkle and Greg Stink.
Starting point is 01:04:23 Ooh. And really, really fantastic. Multiple, multiple games. And it's an exceptional piece of writing. Turned into one of the strongest recurrings of our entire and golden era, right? Very much so. Yes, was always very good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:37 Just crushed every time and was like, broad audience and comedians loved it. Yes. I mean, it was ESB and Classic. It also felt like a Marine World, USA, Africa, one of those ads. The game of one, there was an inappropriate sponsor that Sadecas kept doing tags for. First of all, Pete Twinkle, Greg Stink, like, pinnacle names. Twinkle and stink. Forte is full-on idiot. Yeah. But like the most affable idiot.
Starting point is 01:05:06 He smiled without the eyes. First time, it was billiards. It was Lady billiards. Right. And about halfway through, he goes, yeah, real quick, you tell me one of the rules of billiards. And he's also, Tampax is the sponsor, and at some point, Greg, sorry, Pete Twinkle says, what's the strategy here, Greg?
Starting point is 01:05:25 Oh, it's just a sponsor in a bin, get the product name out there, and corner that tampon market. It's a lot of him taking Sedacas literally. It's wonderful. Get your name out there. Also, really great name, names throughout, Drew Barrymore, her name is Nina Wilkes Booth.
Starting point is 01:05:48 And is this just Will and Jason? Is there some Solomon? Who else is involved? I think Solomon. Well, if this is accurate on here, it's Sadecas is the first name, then Lutz, then Forte Solomon. But sometimes these are inaccurate because they're a little old. Okay, Lutz, too. They were all, I will say, that was some real grindhouse.
Starting point is 01:06:07 When those guys were working on that, it was not fun to walk in the room. and it was exceptionally fun to listen to it when it was done. Oh, interesting. One of those 10-hour joints. And for anyone who doesn't remember, Lutz sent in that voice note earlier that was just so funny. Yeah. It was very succinct and good. Call us at Lonely Islands.
Starting point is 01:06:26 Hamilton is so dark. This is the darkest Hamilton. And at some point, he's trying to convince Drew Barrymore to take him back. And she said, well, you get rid of your hummer. And he said, I already did. I replaced it with a bigger hummer. and then she says will you get rid of your bayonets
Starting point is 01:06:42 and he says I will bury them in the chests of my enemies yeah so dark and you were like I want that guy to speak at my wedding and I wasn't wrong no you weren't wrong
Starting point is 01:06:55 it's all time and then I ripped you off it's the weirdest case of a recurring character's best performance being at two weddings after he was off the show Well, lucky us.
Starting point is 01:07:09 Lucky us. Hey, I'm going to finish with one last thing. A lot of people said my read on the pistachio ad sucked. And I'm sorry, I have no memory of it, but I'm sure it did. And I think it might be out of the rotation. And to the pistachio, people, you know, I'll make a better effort next time out. Damn, comments on ads. Guys, my show is as an outdoor show at a zoo tonight.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Oh, good. And we'll see. We'll see if it's any. Marine World Africa USA level. I hope it is. It's a real risk doing an outdoor show, but... You got to imagine if things don't go well that the monkeys are going to throw a shit at you.
Starting point is 01:07:42 You got to imagine. That you were hoping I was going to bring that up, right? I mean, I had a real moment where I'm like, am I really going to get off the pod and not tell Andy I'm doing a zoo show? God damn. I wish you had started with that. We never would have stopped.
Starting point is 01:07:54 We also talked about a zoo for so long. There were so many options for a subway. I just, you know, I really wanted to get to Brenda and Sean. That's what our listeners were here for. A lot of people are going to click on this app. Brendan, Sean, yes, please. I love you guys. Hey, love you too, Seth.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Love you, buddies. All right, love you. All you guys. Later, Arnold. Later, Quates.
