It's the lonely island and Seth Myers podcast. Akiva was saying that our last episode was Master of Atory, and I was like, I think the whole thing is masteratory. Let's start on that. Pretty sure. Pretty sure. The bedrock of the entire endeavor. It's the premise. If there's a third one of us, they're listening to the other two talk and then can hear when they're, you're, you know, maybe like just have been too normal for too long and they're going to throw a curveball.

They're going to toss a grenade in the path. Something's going to happen. When there's just two, you're just having a conversation. There's no peanut gallery. You can eat as many burritos as you want when there's two. That's what I mean. The rules are different. It's God.

The rules are gone, man. It's burrito town. Andy, you didn't listen, obviously. But Yoram was eating a burrito and was fully fucking half-brained before the episode even started. You know what, Keev, that's your opinion, man. Yeah. Hey, wait, can I comment on where I'm at? You look like you're on a set where they've put a bunch of conduit on the walls.

Well, guess what, dog, Airbnb? But what is all that shit on the wall? I don't want to talk about it. Oh. It's conduits. You Airbnb'd an escape room? You're staying in an escape room of some sort? It's like saw, but the guy's not here right now, so it's fine.

As soon as he comes back, I'm fucked. Yeah, he's like, come and go as you please. It's my saw room, but when I'm not there, I don't lock it. He's out... He's out... He's out getting gas for his chainsaw. He's like, honestly, I don't think I'm going to saw at all next month. Should we just get out of town and Airbnb it?

How old is the building you're in that they were like, we didn't build it for electricity or for internet? No, this is one of those extra rooms. So you can say that there's an extra room. But every kid, I loved the conversation because every adult was like, yeah, like one of them will stay down here. I was like, no fucking kids going to stay down here. The saw basically.

they were all like, it's haunted. It's, it's got like copper pipes going through it and like electrical wires. And it's like you're in a basement. It doesn't take anything to paint that corner. But also, why isn't that stuff in the walls? Anyways. The rest of the house is great.

I'm in Florida, guys. I'm spring training for the Mets. You know how I do. B-ball head all the way. Yep, B-ball. The famous sport of B-ball. Yeah. That's also bowling, too, so I don't want to continue.

Thank you. for clarifying. I'm going to just jump in here right out of the gate. Okay. This is our 100th episode of the pod. Is that right? So we're done. 100 shorts.

We're out. Is that okay? Because I would love to peace out. We're definitely doing the 100th digital short tonight, right? Yeah. Somehow not. Somehow turned into like 75 Q&As. People love it.

We got a lot of positive feedback about the Q&A's last episode because I read a comment from one of the quads saying that they love it, they'll listen to everything, but please stop doing Q&As. And we apologized and just explained, like, what are we supposed to do when it's great day? But Andy can't be there. We got to do something. Thank you.

And I will say, I looked at the comments on YouTube, and most of the people were like, yes, you can always just not listen to it. Please just do something every week. Interesting. So it's fine. It shouldn't be the name of the podcast. Do something. I mean, it's like, I've just thought of this,

but it's almost like you can't please everyone. That's a saying I just made up. Oh, wow. Is that true? We're going to have to pressure test that. Hit us and the tinnis. Can you please everyone? I think we should try, though, guys.

I think we should try. Here's what I know. I'll feel bad about the people we don't please no matter what. In one year, we're going to give a TED talk called you can please everyone. We figured it out. Leave it to us. What are we talking about, guys, this time, besides us. As I was texting everyone

I was like, I think we just talk about us Oh my God I said I love that idea Oh God But that is why you need a peanut gallery Because whenever someone sends One of us on this pod throws like a lifeline in of like

Hey let's talk about something else That's not us And we all go oh thank God Right And it's just me and you're talking about Just two guys, it's just us But I mean people seem to like it It was fine

I think we are our own peanut gallery Right It's certainly easier when we're talking about something we did that we don't like. Sure. What is the origin of peanut gallery? Circus. Barman Bailey.

What's your guess? Oh, let's do that bet thing, Dave. It definitely is an area of the show where people could eat peanuts or something. Like the cheaps, is it like the cheap seats or something?

It's got to be the cheap. Yeah, like hecklers in the bleachers. Yeah, they're like drink. They're basically drinking beers and having peanuts and they're being. Something. It's got to be something to do. I do immediately imagine, like, a far side cartoon that was never. made of like a bunch of peanuts on display at a museum.

And it's the gallery. And then being like, these ones are without shells or something really, you know. Hilarious. I mean, not to go at Gary Larson, you know that's my dog. Wodville era. I know you are a fan. Cheapest highest balcony seats in the theater. Yes.

But why? Called the peanut gallery. Occupants of the higher tiers were often poorer and they would loudly heckle performers and throw peanuts at them, which was the cheapest snack. Remember that whole Bible verse about how Jesus is. was smashing on peanuts. And people were chucking him at them. They were like, do it again, walk on water.

More wine, please. The peanuts are making us thirsty. He's like, no enough salt. They were English? Yeah, Jesus was cogniz. No enough show. Jesus was the transporter. All right, well, we had a blast, Andy,

since you don't listen, doing just two guys last week. I got a bit of my phone on. beep. That's embarrassing. Oh, I turned my When you guys last week did just two guys, did you get my voice note? Yeah, it's in there. It was in there. We loved, I loved your voice note. It was terrific. Thank you. Really, congrats on getting Queen Bee one week ago.

Thank you. I appreciate that very much. No, we can't talk about today's yet. That's got to be at the end, even without it. Keep it. But yeah, I mean, obviously it was a plum roll. Yeah, if anybody's curious about what Seth's up to, it's all over his Instagram. He was definitely in Milan at the

women's hockey game. That was the big deal that they won. I'm not jealous. Just having a blast. That's fine. I'm in Florida. He didn't tell me. I just saw it on his Instagram. And was Seth just solo doing that? I don't know. Was he doing stand-up on a mountain? I think it's just the NBC thing. And they go, hey, Seth, if you want to get out there and like interview athletes or do anything, let us know. And he's like, oh, and just gets the VIP to Milan. He was like, I want to go on a bobsled. I did. I did update two. For those that don't know what he's talking about, there is a good video of Jost. He did the bobsled. And he's just terrified. It's pretty enjoyable. But by the way, that was in New York. That was an upstate New York.

By the way, that's fucking terrifying. Like, it looks terrifying for professionals. Like, amateurs. Oof. It's pretty much what Joe's was talking about, that it was the most terrifying thing he's ever experienced. That's, I mean, good on you. It's kind of like, I mean, imagine going on a bobsled is like going on a roller coaster, but you're not being told that it's for sure safe. Yeah, it can tip. Yeah. Do they often tip? Do they like? Not often, but I read a whole article about it, like how you're not a real bops letter until you've been in a crash. But that's horrifying. Speaking of tips in the Olympics, did you guys see that video of the French guy who got smacked in the nards with the flagpole? Yeah, I did. I did. I mean, it's not funny. You'd have to

really be on it, but did you guys, and I don't know her name, so I'm not going to try it, but the girl from the bay that just won gold in figure skating. Oh, yeah, Oakland. Yeah, and there's so many clips of her, and all the clips, you're just like, she talks exactly like everybody. Yeah, it's like, Bay Area! Exactly. I love it. Did you see the picture comparing her to Magdray? Yes.

She's doing the MacDray pose. My God, it was so fucking dope. I saw a long interview where she's just talking about Blades of Glory. That's so dope. I was like, this is real Bay. Oh, my God. Yes, Big Bay Area, congrats there. My friend said his wife, who's from the Bay, was watching that and watched her win and was, like, crying.

And I was like, oh, okay, I got to see what this is all about. And I watched it on YouTube because I was busy when it was happening. And I also cried. Just that her just doing a beautiful good run? Just ended her story's super inspirational where she was like going to quit and it was too much. And she was having like, you know, mental health about it. And then came back and she's older than I guess a lot of the other girls who were competing and was just felt free and like happy. Oh, are you guys talking about the Olympics?

Oh. We got me. We can't talk from personal experience. Like you. Yeah. You can't be a surprise guest on your own show. Are you in Italy right now? No, I'm in a car.

I just landed from the Olympics. Yeah. How was it? What a cool guy. It was... So the bummer was... It was very cool. I was very excited because I got to stay in the Athletes Village.

But... Do they have any condoms left? But they were out of condoms, so... No. Did you do it? I beat you. I beat you. I beat you.

That part was the bummer. It was on... It was on Zargon. And incidentals weren't covered. And then I had tickets to like space sluge and space disc. You had a junior suite? Yeah. They were all totally canceled.

They told me like, keep your ass out of the mini bar. This spot is so inside. I mean, literally, I think that's the only reason I'm calling in with terrible sound is because I want to do that Space Olympics joke. But of course, you guys had to step on it with your fucking condoms bit. We're so shitty and I'm sorry about our shittiness. We can't change it. We can't flip a switch.

You can't flip a switch. The Olympics were the best. I went to the women's gold medal hockey game. Top five sporting events I've ever seen live. Unbelievable. Yeah, I heard about that game. You were there. Amazing.

Basically, you work for NBC. NBC's like, Seth, you want to come see some stuff and interview some athletes. And then did you choose, like, ahead of time, look at the thing and go, oh, I'd go to the finals, whoever is in that, and then it just happened to be a great game? No, I just know. Yeah, go ahead. I decided day of. And I will say I couldn't lose because the other one was that figure skating final.

And Liu, that girl was so awesome. And I would have loved to have seen that. But the hockey game was so intensive. And the next morning I did the Today Show, which, by the way, Andy, this is more for you. If you do the Today Show, do it in Italy because you got to show up at like two in the afternoon. Oh, that's fantastic. As opposed to four in the morning. Yeah.

But the whole women's hockey team was there. And so awesome to talk to them. Also, you know, they scored with like 90 seconds left to put it into overtime. And they were all just like, yeah, no, we knew we were going to win. And I afterwards off camera, I was like, do you really like with 90 seconds left? And they were all like, yeah, we just knew we were going to get them. I'm like, unbelievable. You guys are so rapt.

Oh, my God. I love that confidence. That's baller. But yeah, it was A plus. Amazing. And then you just flew right back. I flew right back. And I'm glad I flew back today.

Did you get to eat? You get a slice of pizza with Stanley Tucci or anything like that? No. He knows good spots, actually. And he was there, and he was basically saying yes to everybody, but me. So you didn't get to live La Tucci Vita? No, I went, I got bread with Tony Shalube. Oh, okay.

Well, that's all so good. I mean, look, we're not here to say one's better than the other. Yeah. That seems like it would take longer. Yeah. I mean, Yorm's eating. Big Night is definitely some of its part. right? I mean, those dudes are both rat on their own, but totally together, they're their best

version of themselves. What is the movie called? I've seen it. You just said it big like, Big Night. Is that what it was? It's fantastic. When they're young, they're young and they're working in the Italian kitchen? Oh my God, that movie is a fantastic movie. You're eating pizza? Yeah, yeah. I watched out like a year ago. I had never seen it. I like that Yormis having more pizza on our podcast than I had in Italy. Well, I'm Italian. Yeah, that's true. Well, he's in Florida. Yeah, Florida. Oh, you're in Florida. When you're there, you do what you do. Naples for them.

It's not naples. Yoram said, I'm doing a podcast. Cut off everything but the crust. I want to sound as bad as possible. I didn't say that, Andy. Like, I know that I said when there was two of us... Just stop, just go on to the next thing. We're wasting time with Seth.

The rules were different last week for eating burrito, but now it's all four of us. We're wasting time with Seth. Let's ask more Olympic stuff. We don't have to talk about me eating. You guys, I'd love to chime in, but I'd love to chime in, but I'm watching gold medalist, Alyssa Lou, have a blast

in the exhibition gala. Oh, the exhibition gala. It's so fun. Oh, wait, how did you get to stay, how did you get to stay in the Olympic Village

just because you're cool? That was all just a setup from a really good space, Olympic's joke. He didn't think about how the condoms thing was going to be a cloud over. Well,

now I'm bummed. He stayed at a five-star hotel, Yorm. Now I'm bum. There was a story that they ran out of condoms after like two days in Olympic Village,

Yorm. Yeah. I should have known that since there was something like penis adjacent that was going to be where you guys left, too. Always.

By the way, did you guys see Jost in the bobsled? Yeah, you already talked about it, dude. Yeah, gotcha. My bad. My bad. I know I came in late. I was waiting for my luggage. I had to check luggage. You can add your comment about it. Well, first off, it was in New York, not in Milan, but it was on the Olympics and it's Olympic themed. Yeah. Even knowing

that it had been pre-taped, I was scared for his life. Even, like, when he threw to it, It was so scary that I thought maybe. It was like the equivalent of watching that guy climbed the building on Netflix. Yeah. It was interesting because it had an angle, which was like a GoPro attached to the actual bobsled

pointing forward where you could see how fast the track is moving if you were in it, what it looks like. And I'm guessing that's not an angle you ever get to see because they're not going to add a random weight to a bobsled because that would throw off the whole event. Yeah. But I was like, oh, they should always show this angle because that was the angle that really started.

how horrifying it is. It looks like you're like going in triple fast forward. Well, if they all had it, then, but I guess they're trying to get records. So, like, everyone must make it as light as possible. The other thing that helps you realize how fast it's going is you almost never hear while it's happening. Somebody go, oh, God. That would make it more exciting. Oh, fuck, I'm so fun. Why do I choose this job? Oh, no, I pissed. Oh, no, the piss is flying up into our faces.

I did it again. Barry, I'm so sorry. Oh, man, you said this suit was pissproof. Is the suit pissproof? Do you think he asked that before? I mean, I asked that before every bobsled I get on. Monsieur, before we depart, it's the suit piss proof. You say when they dress you for the Metball, you also ask that. Always.

I don't want to miss a thing. Yeah, long lines. Long lines in the bathroom. Yeah, a lot of people taking off outfits very slowly. Yeah, and then usually the high-end designers just when you ask that, just start packing up their shit and leaving, right? That's right.

We were not supposed to be in this room. We went to the wrong room. To the wrong room. And they're like, no, no, no, no, wait, wait, no, no, no, no, no, wait, wait. What do you guys, is this a more turtleneck and chain? Eventually, yeah. I think that's our only option. That's what we were thinking.

We were thinking we were just start banging through songs. I mean, I'm very excited because, you know, it's been a long time since I've listened to it to start to finish. So, I mean, I'm just going to hang back and enjoy, you know? Yeah. You're just on the car ride from, like, JFK right now? Yeah. All right, great.

That's a long-ass car ride. Seth, did you know it's our 100th app? Oh, it is the 100th app. I think I kind of knew it was coming. I mean, it would have been a real bummer if I wasn't here for one hundo. Agreed. Yeah. Do you guys do quantifiers of time for your kids in, like, blue-y episodes when they don't

understand how long somebody is intake. You're like, oh, that's like two and a half bluey episodes or like whatever. Oh, yeah. But I'd say a podcast is a ride from JFK, so you're good, Seth. Yeah, yeah, I'm good. That's a good way of looking at it. I guess depending on the time of day, yeah. Yeah, of course.

Of course, of course. Good ad, good at Andy. Thank you. All right, do we want to listen to a song and see what memories it brings back and see? Certainly, can I just ask a question? Because I didn't listen to all of the last episode that you guys talked about Turtle Nangan Chain. Did you talk about the intro?

We only did we're back. Gotcha. Okay. But we watched the video and we talked about rock. vodka and then we talked about how the Lamborghini was from the rock vodka shooting yeah cool and honestly there were even comments about how it was the most yorm compliments for your performance on the episode you weren't there to hear it and knowing that you didn't even listen to the episode is so baller because so you have no idea you have no idea how nice people who were talking behind your back

great there were literally comments the kindest most generous yorm comments in the history Deny that. I deny that that ever happens. In 98 episodes of the pod, it was the one about yours. Just me screaming. Me screaming about dicks. Yeah, but everyone, we were loving it. People love it.

It held up very well, and you weren't here to even hear the compliments and then didn't even listen to it. So fantastic. Do we have any things that we cut out from that? Because I do remember platinum in New Zealand is obviously in, but do we have any screams that we? No, is platinum in New Zealand? It is, right?

Platinum in New Zealand. I don't know if that is. there. Seth, does that ring a bell? No, definitely not. No, I think that is the thing we cut. Okay, so that's what I wanted to talk about. Then I was like, I was, I was bummed that we didn't, because we are technically platinum in New Zealand,

but that means like 6,000 copies were sold. Yes, it was the only place we had gone platinum at that point. Whoa, whoa, you know I gotta talk numbers. Let's just, it's just a fact. Okay, okay. We definitely had it recorded and in the song at certain point and then switched it for something else. Okay, okay, well that's my add-on to that.

Maybe because we could cut a chunk out or something? Yes. I feel like we would have kept that. It's definitely very good. We definitely all like it. Yeah, I forgot that it was not. Platinum!

Do it the way you did it? You want to blow this mic at it or scare people upstairs. Just back off it. Just back off it. Yeah, back the fuck up. Okay, ready? Yeah. Platinum in New Zealand.

There you go. It was so proud. And that's it. It is very fun when, you know, one of my favorite things about being over in London, talking to those new nascent SNL cast and writers. Obviously, they're huge fans of yours. And, like, it is so fun to tell them, like,

how you guys cut great stuff all the time. Like, they're like, what? Because they're like, it's so tight. I'm like, you have no idea. You were like, I wish it would rain even longer. When is their premiere episode? I believe March 21st.

That's so exciting. Yeah, it's really cool. Is that already announced or is that an exclusive? I don't know. We'll double check before. Because you know I'll be pinning for them clicks, Seth. Yeah, we need to get them kleaks. Inject it right into your dick vein, Seth.

We're going to get those British cliques. Brick clicks. Brick, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, paparazzi. Jesus. Do you think they say across the pond there about us? Oh, interesting. I was thinking about that. I almost said back across the pond, you know.

Right. Well, because it sounds like a more British way to say it. be it originated over there and we're across the pond. Yeah. Yeah, well, let's ask the peanut geller. That was from earlier. Seth has no clue. Oh, my God, it's so fucking funny, Seth.

Support comes from Willie's Remedy. Yorm. Yeah. Are you tired of waking up hungover and wondering about what happened last night? Keeve, I got two kids and I drink all the time. Yes. That's really disappointing here. I mean, I know burrito's your drug of choice.

Oh, it certainly is. He ate one just now. You can have fun and relax without any of the regrets with Willie's THC-infused social tonic. Yom, when you get burrito brain, do you get a burrito brain hangover or is it pretty clean? It depends on the day and what kind of burrito is, but yeah, I usually get a pretty severe hangover. What I'm offering you here is an alcohol alternative that is not burritos that also works like getting burrito-brained with an uplifting, euphoric buzz you can really feel without any of the negative side effects. Does that sound interesting to you? Yes, Keeve.

Thank you for bringing this up. This is great. Willys is a premium THC-infused social tonic crafted by the legendary Willie Nelson. Who would you trust more than Willie Nelson for some THC stuff? The answer's nobody. I'll just fill that in.

Just Snoop Dog. Okay, fine. No, nobody. Nobody. Inspired by Willie's Way of Living, where peace flows freely and hangovers are a thing of the past. It's a low-calorie,

low-sugar, alcohol alternative that actually works. Whoa, we want. Thank you, Keith. Keep going. All right. I'd love to. It comes in two doses, five milligrams or ten milligrams. Sure. With a best in-class flavor experience. So smooth and balanced, you barely realize you're drinking a THC product at all.

My gosh, this is great. It comes in a bottle. I've seen it. So it comes in a bottle that looks like a liquor bottle. It's like a whiteish-looking. It's almost like a frosty kettle. Yeah, almost like an absinth or something. And then you would, yeah. And then you would just pour yourself, I think.

I think it's, I think to get one of those five milligram doses, it's like an ounce and a half, just so it's the equivalent of like a shot. It's not much, and it is very mild. I have had this. It's in my home, and it's quite good. There you go. Willys is not that feared edible you ate too much of in college. Seth in Amsterdam.

And I've stayed at a lot of homes on Airbnb.

I stayed at ones on the east side, west side of Los Angeles, near Judd's office when we were making stuff, and I kept changing places just for the experience of it. It was great. I felt like I was in actual neighborhoods, and I stayed in Abakini. I love that it was walkable, that it felt like you were in a real home. It's hard to be away from home for so long, and it was great that I felt like I was home just in different places and experiencing different things.

You guys just flag me down if you want me to pause. But let's see what we think about this. It's called Mama. It's called Mama. And it's two minutes long. Wait, wait. Can I say something about it? about we're back, which I assume you guys didn't talk about.

Sure. We were going to end the album with a song called We're Still Back, which was all about how disgusting our balls were. And I was a, it's a fucking heater. And we did ask Ice Cube to be on the song and talk about how disgusting his balls were. And we also sent it to LP, the great LP from Run the Jewels fame,

and also his own frame before that. And also to Ninja of Die Antward, all those dudes, except for Ice Cube, the LP sent the most disgusting lyrics possible about his balls right back, which is horrifying. Ninja also sent a whole verse that was horrifying. And then Ice Cube said no.

But the reason it was in Ice Cube is because the song was formatted similar to, I forgot the name of the song, but the Hickory Dickery Dog. Oh, yeah, yeah. What was that one? Nursery rhymes or whatever, right? Yeah, and it's where it's like, yo, yo, yo, yeah, where it's a kid going,

Oh, ice cube, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's a Kiva doing the book kid. And we've, so we had a fake kid in the beginning of ours, like, you talking about your dick so much. Why did you say something about your boss? Yeah. Yeah, and we're like, oh, okay. Here's a little something you should know about my balls. Yeah, and it was just all.

And did it? Did you record it? Yeah, it's good. Yes, we did. And then guess what, Seth? We thought it was too. immature. Right.

It was gross. So you'll be proud to know that we... Yeah. I mean, we've still kind of been talking about putting it out, though. It's still good. I fucking love that song. Jay Zone made that beat. So we could ask Jay Zone if it's okay.

It's not like it's impossible. Oh, we've already asked. I mean, it's a heater. We can dig it up. But then you've got to put both LP and Daet Ninja's verses on it. Yeah. Well, maybe LPs. Maybe LPs.

Burn. All right. Here comes mama. This one goes out from the bottom of our hearts To the most important lady in our lives It's time to pay some respect I hope you're proud of us because we're proud of you Mama you raised me right mama showed me the light

Mama through a painted strife mama you gave us life When I fell down you were then to pick me up when I felt mad you were than to build me up Gave everything you had in the world of me and you made me the man I'm supposed to be You can't roll outside. You kept us warm and held us down. Mom, get out. It's just a little. It's here anyway.

And he'd admit you. Go to hell, Mom. She's an angel on earth with invisible ways. Aplice. Okay. Um-huh. Delightful. Delightful.

It's a real, it's a sketch in a nice way. It's a nice sketch. It's well observed. It's an observation about life and about music. And co-starring, guest starring. Yeah. The mother of Akiva's children. Liz.

Yeah. Liz killed that part. There were a few comments. comments last week that noticed because when Liz came on to talk about that she was there when we were shooting the Just Two Guys video for one moment and helped throw balloons

when we had just met her at the movie awards. She was over one of those days, Andy. And she came to give her POV and then when she was leaving the pod last week she kind of started putting on a mom voice like, well, have fun with your little pod. You know, it's so great. You guys are so creative. It was like that.

But it's exactly this fake mom voice and there were definitely some people being like, oh, it's so great. Liz reprised her character for Mama. So shout out to whoever made those comments for clocking that. Drawing the parallels. I will admit to forgetting what the turn was. And it's also really fun at this point in career, anybody listening for the first time,

like, knows something's coming. And it's so fun to try to guess what it is and certainly not what I guess. And then you just know it's going to be just fun beat after beat. There's a big tradition of songs in, I think, every genre, but especially hip-hop about their mom. being so special to them. Yeah.

Well, we talked also about the party Anderson's last week, too. And I think we'd have a thing about, you know, three guys that are brothers who are kind of piece of shit. Now, you guys are doing 99.9% of the yelling. And I remember it was just because I wasn't, like, able to hit the same tone of petulant. Like, my acting wasn't good. I couldn't. Andies is so good. It's so petulant.

I couldn't find the right yelling tone. It felt faker. and you guys just felt more like genuine teenagers telling people to get out of their room. And mine felt more like a person pretending to do a voice of a teenager. Yeah, we did try. Funny yelling harder, harder than it seems. Yeah, there were a few in there that I would have replaced now looking back. Oh, really?

Interesting. Yeah. And you know, Liam would say that playing drunk is actually one of the hardest things to do. Agreed. That's why I'm always so impressed by Polar. She's so good at it. So good at it. Yeah.

Like especially for. comedy. You know, when she was really good at playing drunk was when her and Steve Martin did it in the show where they cut it and did surf meeting instead. I knew there was going to be a drop, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel.

Well, I also enjoyed it when her and Adam Scott do it on Parks, okay? That's another good example. When it did air. The beat for Mama was made by Knockdown, a producer that we didn't meet person, but... No, made some hot shit, though! A little shout out for... It sounds great.

Totally good beat. Very of the moment at that time. Yeah. I love that we start adding in things shattering. She's like, watch it. So what, we like threw a bottle at her, which is pretty extreme. Is this too early to ask why, like just sequencing question? Why is that your second song? Yeah, it's a good question. I think it was comedy forward.

Yeah. And because we knew, like, I just had sex was going to be next, which is like on just a sketch comedy level, way less funny than mama in terms of like, I don't know, in terms of like hard jokes. that you could actually just do as a sketch. And so it felt good, I think, to kind of take it in another direction. Also, it has all three of us. That I was going to say. Speaking of sequencing, just because I did find this fascinating

when we were mastering, a lot of the reasons, like, and you guys can correct me if I'm wrong, but a lot of the reasons why you would have, like, the fourth song or the third song be like your big single is because the bigger, the grooves on a record are

the louder and better it sounds. And so you want your, biggest songs to be on the beginning of the record where the grooves are the widest. And so a lot of that was coming from sound quality of sequencing. But Mama was definitely not that. But we did sort of believe in the batting order thing of third and fourth track are hopefully your singles, right? Yeah, you're big band.

And sure enough on this, it was just had sex in Jack Sparrow. But you're saying the reason pop records kind of evolved to that at some point where you know that big singles are usually in certain places is actually because of like grooved up. Yes, yes. That's a nice history tidbit. And we were dealing mostly with CDs at this point, but still just sort of adhering to it

because we were doing trying to do ours. It just feels good. The way other people really do them. Yeah, but Seth, we really did very much think about sequencing. I mean, like obviously, I was certain you guys did, and I was just curious how this,

that all makes sense. Yeah. Well, here's a question then. What about a redraft, you know, of our sequencing? Would you still put Mama second if we were to do it today? I don't know. I don't know that I would. We got a lot of, I remember, because the joke is so accessible, I remember getting a lot of positive feedback on it when, like, people would be at the Encino House and they'd be like, oh, play us a few things. And we would play a few things. And Mama would always play really well. The same way it was just to you, Seth, watching you in the car. And I think it's because the joke is the kind that's a joke joke that you can, you can laugh at it right away, the way that, like, we talked about, I'm on a boat, how we sometimes would get really mediocre responses because there's not clear.

laughs, it's a tone piece. But we knew I'm going to vote is quote unquote much better and could go much farther than say mama. But mama's easier in a room to play for people if you're trying to get a response. Also, Mama does not need any visual. Like the comedy.

Correct. It's more fun that way, probably. It is half-stage. Yeah, the mind's eye doing all the work for you guys in a way that just have sex was obviously kick-ass video. Yes. Well, I mean, certainly I guess we're back as extremely self-deprecating as well.

But this is also self-deprecating. It's also just a very different tone, right? We're doing like agro. I think it's more of that. Yeah, like it's a nice tone shift. We're being fake aggressive and we're back and then we're being fake aggressive. Well, I just said sex is different too. So, yeah. Anyways, it's just

all the different elements of each song trying to create a balance. Yeah. So, yeah, so that's mama. So I just had sex and next. We'll skip that till we get to SNL. Yeah, okay. Same is Jack Sparrow. Jack Sparrow. After that, we'll skip that.

And then we have attracted to us featuring Beck, shall we? Sure. Oh, man. Okay. Let's go right to the... This is a minute and 52. I just like to set a runtime and expectation here. How long is it again? One minute, 52 seconds.

Sorry, you dropped out. That's just checking. Okay, good. Not for us. Because we're not in a car. Yes, no. And I'm just so happy that Jeff hasn't jumped on to give me shit for the fact that I'm doing this from the car. And I just feel like that's a lot of growth for Jeff.

perspective. Honestly, your audio's warm and round and nice. It could be that he's, Seth, it could be that he's just fucking giving up at this point. Yeah, that's true. He always said he would be, he would care for the first 99. Yeah, he's like, it's fine. It's fine.

All right, here we go. Can we stop, Keith? Yeah. So this is a beat that Beck made. Yeah, for us. It sounds very Beck. Yeah. For us from scratch, right? Yeah. So we had met back, but I I don't remember why or where.

Was it through our management? Or was it just somewhere else? Yeah, and we went out to his house and saw his whole operation, which was real cool. He has a lot of talented producers working with him, and they are always making shit. Like, it's an extremely creative house that he was working out of, which I don't think was actually his house, right? That was just where he worked out of? I'm not sure. But it was out in Malibu, and we were big fans.

And he kept being, like, asking us for styles of things to make. Like, what's the vibe? What are you guys trying to do? And we're like, we have zero ideas. We have no clue what we're trying to do. We were such a mess compared to him. He was just like constantly making sense. We're like, ah, what do you got?

We just like you when we want to work with you. And just our approach to music is so high concept that I think a normal musician might come in and be like, oh, you know that feeling you have when you just broke up, but all you want to do is eat ice cream? Like, that's a feeling. You know, like, whereas ours are like, we need a full high concept here. If we had had one, we could be like, oh, make us something like. like this because we have an idea that needs a, but we had nothing. But eventually he just started making goofy stuff and I think sent us an outline of this

and we figured out what we wanted to do vaguely enough that we could go ahead. We did, we did. And it was actually the first time we worked that we were like, oh, and then can you put like a bridge part here and da-da-da-da? But we were like, it should be really, really short. I like, by the way, that you guys like your hero invites you over. You don't come up with any ideas first. And then you just keep having him make you stuff.

That's a very good way to... Nope, that one didn't inspire anything. Try something else. There'd be the bear about these. We will run you into the ground. That one didn't make our... Didn't make us our brains pop. Not best of Beck.

And then we made this song out of everything we could have made with it. But yeah, I do think before we went to his house, we had the concept and the idea. And we're like, okay, now we can come over to, like, fashion it. Okay, great. Got it. I didn't remember that. I don't think we just sat there cold being like, uh-uh. Honestly, my brain is pulling a yorm on this one. Just the cupboard is bare.

Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, I thought we did. Yeah. Well, I don't even think we recorded the lyrics over there, right? We just got all the elements of the beat we needed. Yeah, I think it was elements. We don't record it over there. Anyway, hit us in the tittis. What did we know and what did we know?

We could ask Beck for a voice note. Never that. Yeah, let's waste this time more. Got to start with like this. Come on, come on, come on. We're shy, Seth. That's the joke. That's the joke.

Okay, what was the original version of this? And we were a little confused. I mean, we're doing a version of, no matter what, like we always talk about how we were fans of, and we might have talked about this on Accred about, like songs that sound like a party. Yeah. And there was a lot on the far side,

bizarre right to the far side or a few, that had that feeling. where there's just yelling in the background in a fun way that just feels like you're in a party. And there's Beastie Boy songs that have that vibe. Yeah. So we recorded full tracks of us

just fucking around as if it was a party. We would layer those tracks and then on several songs, I would reorder those party tracks and just put them. And we had them from old like party Andersons and things like that. And I remember taking old files and stacking them and just using

it as like a base layer party. And just the ad libs on here feel like we just like put the song on loud and yelled along to it and stuff. Yeah. Honestly, Keith, the first one I can think of is Marvin Gay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They got to give it up. Yeah. It's in the background the whole time.

Yeah. It just gives it a vibe. It's great. And then there's all kinds of bragy songs about liking all types of girls. Yeah, you got girls by the Beastie Boys. You got Cream, Wu-Tang. That's just two out of, like, let's say, thousands. Yes, but do you guys remember this wasn't originally, we thought we were saying different things when we were talking.

we were talking about doing this, and it wasn't attracted to us. I remember there was an attractive to us. Attractive to us? Is that what it was? You are attractive to us. Yeah, there's one that's like the same layers. Like, white girls, you are attractive to us. Yes. Black girls. So it was more about what we like, but we were going to name every possible. But then when we were doing it, it sounded more like attractive. Yeah, and then we switched.

Like, I literally heard a different thing. I thought we were saying attracted to us. And I feel like. Yeah, but it was funnier bragging, being like, all types of ladies. us. But then, of course, you're never going to get it because we're shy little guys. We are a little shy guys. Yeah, tiny little album. So you need not apply. All right, let's hear Beck's part. Hey! Hey! Hey! That's like mother. Sheppel. Fake French from Yoram.

Yes. And I think that the inspiration for that was La Tigre and they had some old like French thing. And I had an old record that was like French samples or whatever that was like scratching of like learn French and I remember like the Keloratil was part of that. I don't know what it means. I obviously love getting back to say we're more the

introspective time. And it fits with his vibe. It's probably my favorite line of that song. Here, let me keep going though. Rare fade out. Yeah, well the party's going to go forever. And that goes into infinity. The Beck singing is the

best part. I mean, very clearly. The harmonized, like, layered. Very beautiful. It weirdly has some slight touch of emotion to it, kind of. Yeah, well, he found an actual beautiful melody. I mean, I guess the question, the real question coming out of this for me, guys, is, are all those types of girls attracted to us? Hit us in the tinnis.

And then you guys couldn't see it. You guys listening couldn't see it, but I ducked out a frame after I said that. Hit us in the tinnis, duck out of it. But you can't see the frame. But just if you could, you would know I was ducked us. He immediately removed his tithes from the frame. Did not get hit. Before you can hit a minute.

So here's the question. Is it overrated or underrated? It's not rated. It's not rated. I guess underrated. I don't think it's rated at all. Yeah. It's unrated. If something's unrated, I think, and you like it, then it's underrated. Sure. Well, you know what unrated means X. Ooh. I think that's, that one's a neutral to me. Yeah. This one, though, is like unrated, like a movie where the MPA was just like, we don't care. Yeah, just no one's going to see it. Go with God. Just whatever. Just do whatever you want.

Yeah, it's fine. Do whatever. If you like it, you like it. It's not going to see a theater. I'm going to say I'm a little surprised. More people don't remember myself included because it is super catchy and fun. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, you made a lot of songs.

I was just at a baseball stadium today, and I was reminded that no one plays. No, I was just reminded that no one plays we are a crowd, and I feel like that's a similar kind of fun vibe. Yeah, we did another. That's in the next album. It would have been funny. If Yoram is like, I was in a minor league baseball game, and it was two different players' walk-up music. No dice. Well, Seth, I think I did tell you this, but when me and Keith put it out, Bash Brothers, they did play it at the Colise, at the Oakland Coliseum, and all three of us were celebrating for like a month.

We were like, we fucking did it. Bad ass. By the way, this is a general out to any MLB player. If you want us to do your walk-up music, Kiva will do it. I'll do it. Gladly. Moving on. The guy's swimming in free time.

He loves it. He loves it. Do whatever you want. I would like, I think the most fun thing to walk up to would be a Yorm's song from everyone's a critic. Oh my God. If you want to be our favorite athlete. I mean, that's baller. If you play that shit and then hit a ding-dong home runner?

Fucking. Oh, yeah. Dude, the pitcher is going to be shit in his pants hearing that while you're walking over. to the plate, the pitcher's not going to know what to throw. Did we talk about this before? Somebody just reminded me of this week that a couple years ago, Josh Allen did the Ancestors Protect Me Celebration on a touchdown with one of his teammates? Yeah, yeah.

Heaven. Nothing fucking cooler. Heaven. I don't know that we talked about it, but someone sent us like the video of it. It was rad. That's outstanding. Congrats on all your success, Joshua. Yeah.

He's an F ball player. You and the Lordy, you're doing great. Those are the two. By the way, this next song is one of my faves and my kids love it. Andy's going to start doing a bit on the pod where he confidence builds guys who need it the least. Glenn Powell, you're crushing it. So next up, Andy is a track called Rocky. Yeah.

Tell us the inspo, Andy. Well, this is an interesting one. The inspo is I think I could beat Mike Tyson, fresh prints, right? Well, yeah. Yeah, but. But it's also not. that different from that song. But it's also Aaron Carter's

the day I beat Shaq. Oh, right. Which was based also on, I think I could beat Mike Tyson. Yes, but because he had done that one, which was so... The same. The same song. It felt like, well, what if I made a third? I think it took the... Like, I'm just copying another... I mean...

Yes. You know, Tuesday Jeff and the Fresh Prince are funny on purpose. So it would maybe be a comedy crime to just take their song and make another version, but there was something about Aaron Carter having done a second. Agreed. That kind of felt like it opened the door to like, oh, I'm going to do sarcastic. One of those, yes. Another one of those.

And also the beat, which is a Newmark beat, inspired it. And we were like, we have to use this beat. It's so fucking awesome. And like Jurassic 5e and throwback. But yes, I think when we were, I mean, let's listen to it and then we can talk about it. Wait, wait. A little backstory on the beat. This sample cost us a bunch of money.

And we looked at each other and we were like, it sounds so fucking rad. and we paid for the fucking sample, and then Newmark was going to use this same sample on his album, like a year later. And he called us and he was like, yo, did you pay for that fucking sample? And we were like, yeah. And he was like, no fucking way I was going to pay that.

And we were like, oh, shit. You know, I mean, it is funny how with this sample stuff, it always was the, not always, but it felt like it always was the songs that we knew were not the big songs that would, like, generate revenue that cost the most. Yeah. And we'd always have to have that moment where you're like, oh, so we're going to pay blank for I just had sex and then pay triple blank for Rocky.

Yes. Because we loved it. We like, we put our money where our comedy was. Yeah, we're just like, because we want to do the album and that's what that's on cost and we're not changing it. And okay. But it's about the beat more than the quality of the song. It was just we musically liked them so much. Well, they hold hands.

I know, but it's funny that like when we're shooting the videos, we do. want to make the budget of the video kind of commensurate with what we thought the potential upside was of the song. We did not exercise that restraint on the beats. Yes. We were more discerning on video. But on the beats, we're not like, this song's not worth it. It's not a hit.

We're like, you know, it's worth it. It's a 50-second interlude with us shouting. It's fine. Yes. We're like, we're never going to recoup anyway. Come on, let's be honest with ourselves. Although on this album, we knew that we would. This one, yeah.

This one is promoted correctly. Well, not new. We thought we would. I'm going to pose a question because Rocky, I always was like, is it different enough from those other songs? That's what I wanted to talk about after, because that's my concern with it, too. Yeah, and I had it at the time.

So let's see how we feel now. There's a little story that I think you'll like. It's not about Shaq or Iron Mike. There you go. So, look at your seat belts, it's going to get choppy. It sounds like. One day me and all my friends were hanging. Talking about which of the girls was most banging

Then one friend says you know who's really tough Rocky? Hit me home The boxer man I said yeah I know what about him he said he's really tough No way man I'm calling you blood I think that I can take a man to prove my point I'll challenge him in public yeah that's the joy So the very next day stay true to my word and I snuck on TV and I'll lick you and bury you like a dog turn

I got kicked out with the candle wanted a bra At the date the micdie shack he was sipping on wine Having models rubbers At the way in Boy, the tension was high I pulled apart I shot him one last Look to strike fear in his heart

Skip ahead Some night Some night Some bad Stop it My favorite My friend My friend

My favorite one My shirt My shorts Then Rocky pissed on me Customarian sports Some pretty amazing Scratching by Newmark I was to say

The best scratching we've ever had On any of her albums By DJ Newmark Where? What is that sample from? We can ask Newmark, I'm not sure. I mean, he is a crate digger, so he goes deep deep. It's great. It's great. I mean, he digs deep in the crates. It was James Brown.

Yeah, I'm going to say, like, that may have been like very, very. James Brown, greatest hits, volume one. When you look at the, like, writers, on Wikipedia, when you look at the writers of the song, there's, like, four other names of people that we've never met. That must have been the writers of whatever that song was. Beat goes, still goes. I love that beat. It's great.

Yeah, it sounds great. I know it's partially why we were just like, let's just put it on there. But it also is just crazier than any of theirs. But also, Rocky's a fictional character. That's a splitting hairs difference, but it's not a real person. Didn't realize you had a studio executive on the pod.

Is that the same turn in those songs? I think it's definitely the one in the Fresh Prince one where Mike Tyson knocks him out. Got it. And our escalation was just to get. But he doesn't piss on him, though. Yeah. To be sure. He doesn't piss on him, and the bone splitter doesn't shoot right out of the skin.

Even though it's customary in sports. Yeah. I mean, my favorite line is still, like, threw ass in my face, which obscured my patient. Yeah, it's just a minor inconvenience. I also, like, 22 consecutive sucker punch rights. I know it's early, but they threw a great punch. It's just like that you're being so, I don't know, just being such a good sport about it. Yeah.

I mean, like, also, they barbed in the crowd. They were going insane. Like, he's really excited for the crowd. Like it's like, this is just entertainment. Parts of the guy's negative. But like, they were going insane. Yeah, you're so happy. Just happy to be there.

Yeah, you know, I think it's like a solid B. Hit us in the tinnis. Yep. Wait, Keith, what was the song that you made before this, though? That was that same vibe. We like... Oh, right. I think I might have killed the president.

Yes. Can we talk about that song? Yes, please. And can we find that fucking song? I forgot about it. That's one of my favorite things you've ever done. A Kiva went like rogue and just made this song with like out us i wasn't avoiding it yorme when you were saying and there was something else i

honestly had no no yes but we talked about putting that that song out on our previous record kev it was a fake will smithy kind of happy-ass song and i don't remember the maybe one of you remember better than me about like what the actual it's about getting winter soldiered oh and i wake up and i'm like i think i might have killed the president it's a charian candidate yeah you're just It's like a happy go lucky fucking dude. And it's a beat I made too, right? I think it's like real shitty. Yeah, I mean, this was like 2003, 2004.

Like we made it when we were making Cablamo and Stork Patrol and the heist. I think I was mimicking it off of Fresh Prince stuff and like made a similar sounding beat. Yeah, and it's like the only song I've ever done on my own where I just was like, I will record a song. It was really funny. It's very good. I think I might kill the president. Wow, I'd love to find that. By the way, I like it's way more than.

Rocky. Comedically. I do remember loving it. Yes. I'm sure it's less tight now, like joke, joke, joke, because we weren't worried about the audience or having it as much discipline. Yeah. But it was for sure the template.

Yeah. God, I forgot all about that completely till now. I wonder, it's on a drive in my closet somewhere, I bet you. Well, my memory is like a steel fucking trap guy. So anytime you need to lean on me, I'm here. Notoriously. I'm here for you, Barry. I'm here for you, Alan.

And I'm here for you, whatever the last guy's name is. Hmm. All right, so we've talked about a lot, guys. Yeah. Seth's still driving. So I guess New York traffic's no better than it was when last time I was there. One pod equals JFK home. By the way, I listened with commercials to last week's episode.

And I never heard. There's a lot of shit talking going on there. A lot of dorm talking shit about us. Some Seth talking shit about us. And it's interesting. Maybe I will do a commercial this week. We'll see what happens. We're just using it with.

to get back at each other. I'm going to say, I actually, I find it really moves forward the narrative of the pot and I found myself not skeptical because there was so much fucking. So I don't know. I think it's a very nice choice. Yeah. Yeah. I liked it.

It's getting one person's perspective where nobody can correct them. Yeah, exactly. They finally get to speak their truth. So like are people talking shit about me, Keev? No, you're the only one that they don't talk about. Yeah. Yeah, it's all of us. What did I say about Annie?

Did I say some shit? No, it was just all of us. you're like, these other guys don't do shit. And I'm all alone. The ad prompted me to kind of go there. You know what I mean? It wasn't my fault. Yeah.

It was the copy. It was fine. I liked it. It was the copy. They had written it. It was so weird. Helix mattresses. The copy said that I should like disparage you guys. Talk shit about your fellow potters.

We're potters, right? Sure. Yeah. A bunch of Beatrix potters. Nice. By the way, I want people to go back. And I think Andy was full. quiet for four minutes until

Keith said Beatrice Potters. Beatrice Potters. He's doing something. He's looking off to his phone. He's, he's doing. He's queen being right now. He's staring. The minute it goes over an hour, he just stares at the clock. I mean, I do feel, I feel

a little pooped. Okay, let's do these last two. Let's do these last three. Real quick. All right. Well, let's just, no, let's just do the last one. Yeah, wow. Okay, fine. So, this is a 23-second song, so I think we can probably keep our attention. It's an interlude. It's called My mic. Here we go.

Okay. My mic sounds nice. Check one. My mic sounds nice. Check two. My mic sounds nice. Check three. My mic sounds nice. Check four.

Is check five. My mic sounds nice. Check six. Our mics sound nice. Check seven. Great way to get to the title track of a total neck and chain. Norm, do you remember how this came about? I feel like this is a bit we would do and then we decided to just do it.

Yeah, I mean, I remember being obsessed with doing this. And I can't remember how many we were going to do, like how many guys we were actually trying to do. But it ended up being that like, you know, seven. I think we wore out our welcome at seven. And then my friend Will helped us out with the harmonizing at the end. The Czech seven. That's him. But yeah, I remember just being obsessed with this idea.

Was there a specific reference we were doing? I mean, obviously in hip-hop, you know, De La has all. plug one, plug two stuff. I mean... I mean, it's in everything, right? My mic sounds nice. Check one, I feel like, is a direct quote of something. Yeah, what is it from?

I mean, you know, it's like turn on my snare, basically. I mean, microphone checka, you know, DOS effects. There's a lot. A little factoid about my mic is my daughter when she was probably eight. She had like a speaker in her bedroom and she would always go to sleep listening to music and it would be whatever she's into at that moment.

So it'd be like the descendant soundtrack. or the George Clooney Olivia Rodriguez's album Nat Faxon yeah the soundtrack

that just Hawaiian Hawaiian vibes George Clooney Alexander Payne right so tense between the family members

instrumental musical score yeah it was it was that she had played out the Citizen Ruth soundtrack

and she kept saying that I want to stay in the painoverse and I kept going Not about Schmidt Dad yeah you know what

sorry she was seven it was just the painover is such a thing to her Oh, Lee. Yeah, I'm not a fan of a botchement. Thank you for pointing that out, Andy.

You're welcome. And I'd occasionally play songs of artists in the car or whatever, and they never gave a shit, but my mic stuck with her. And she put it on the mix that she had for bedtime, that she played for maybe a year, and it was on every other song, though. So it would play, like, a song from Moana, and then it would play my mic, and then it would play a driver's license, and then it would play my mic, and then it would play.

And she was like, do you make money from this? And I'm like, no, it's 23 seconds. This does not rack up Apple music. You get nothing. But this is a good point, though, of my mic. This is what I love about it. It is so beyond stupid, but it is a pretty awesome buildup to the drop of any song, I think. It has a good, like, oh, what's coming next?

And clearly she got that. Oh, yeah. It was teeing up all her favorite tunes. Yeah. But she probably listened to it, like, if there was a, you know, if she had, gotten a Spotify wrapped, it would have been like, your favorite song's my mind by far. Good time. This is very fun, and we have what?

We have a whole, like half an album or a little bit more than half? Yeah, like a back half to go. That's great. Yeah, back half minus the creep and mother lover and through the ground. We'll do those with their respective episodes, right? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I think it was a very strong content.

I'm really happy we're doing it. It was nice to hear them. I hadn't heard of some of them in a while. Yeah. So you heard it here first, guys. You just listen to some strong content. It's deep cuts. You're welcome.

It's deep cuts. You're welcome, America and the world. I always said episode 100 we'd get to Falcor v. Atreu, but we didn't. So that's on me. I didn't quite make it. I don't know if we even want to do that one. And then just drop the mic. Hey, guys, it's Andy.

I realized after we finished, I never said what I did on the spelling bee. I got it with one hint. I don't feel like super stoked about that, but you know, I can live with it. The word was neural. K-N-U-R-L. Again, I'm not thrilled, but also I'm not going to beat myself up over it. And we can be for damn sure it's better than what Seth did. Okay, back to the pod.

All right, I love you guys. Love you, buddy. Love you, Seth. Love you. Later, Arnold. Later, Quads.
