Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, you're going to hear us talk about this at the end of the pod, but head over to YouTube over Your Dead Body. Yorma's new movie has a fantastic trailer that you can watch now. And now we're going to just start the pod. It's the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast. This is Yorma. None of the other guys are here. I'm trying to basically without looking at any of the tracks,
Starting point is 00:00:25 make a new theme song for our podcast right now. just dumping things on top of it. So just give me five minutes. I'll surprise the guys when they get on it. It's going to be bad. Siked to see you guys. Let's fucking jam. Keeve, just FYI,
Starting point is 00:00:42 Yorm is working on a new theme song for the podcast that we're currently already recording. Which is pretty exciting. But I'm doing it without, I'm just looking at the tracks, so I'm doing it visually. Got it. Hey, Keev.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Yeah, you just left to go turn off your air purifier. We got one. of those. How much more purified would you say your air is now than the air you grew up breathing in your home? I mean, the Bay area has good air. Got it. So I'd imagine the air in the Bay was probably still better than the air today. Than purified L.A. air. Yeah, although, you know, we have this feeling like things are always getting worse because, you know, with climate disaster it is. Yeah. But when you look at pictures of L.A. in the 70s, like with all those huge muscle cars and everything, it was horrendous, horrendous, what they were breathing back then, much worse than today.
Starting point is 00:01:30 I actually saw on social media this week. There was a picture of, like, L.A. with the snow cap mountains in the background. And people saying, like, exactly that point. Like, FYI, no way shape or form. Do you see this in the 70s? Yeah, and I don't know the details. So I'm just speaking that term. But I know there was like, it also is like the proof that regulations work.
Starting point is 00:01:48 There we go. Because they made a point to change the laws about emissions. And then it got way better. Well, you know what I think is that it's all a hoax. Right. Yeah, I was going to say one of the reasons, one of the reasons we don't get political on the pod, and I wasn't going to name names, is there's one hardcore, like maybe more Maga than Maga guy on the pod. Yeah, you guys don't get it. I mean, it's hard to hang out with these libtarts all day.
Starting point is 00:02:13 But we also, we want to present both sides, you know, and be really fair. And so Yorm really presents that balance. That is one of the big takeaways. And people tell me how much that their Kuwait Army, they like how even-handed it's been. Yeah. Hey, I'm in Durham, North Carolina. I'm going to do a stand-up show. Got snowed out in January.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I'm back here. I'm very excited. I'm going to see one of the names that gets dropped the most on the pot, our friend Emily Spivey tonight. It's fun, but you're not technically promoting it because it will be, the show will be over by the time anyone hears this. You guys have made it very clear that I was not to promote. You said I could only mention shows after it was too late for people to buy tickets.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Yes. We don't want you to, like, jam the stuff. We needed to know how popular your stand-up is without you jamming it with promotion. That's so funny. Yeah, I thought it was you guys, you didn't want me on your territory, but it was just jamming the stats. Yeah, we don't like that. I don't like that you are so left-wing, and so I don't want anyone to support you. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Can I just race through? I did a very quick back-of-the-envelope calculation of comments. That's not how you used back-of-the-envolveau, but I really did literally right under the back of the envelope. somebody said they did find, I think I killed the president, that it is on your website. Yeah, it's on an archive. Okay, great. I had that sent to us. I did not have time to check this, but a baseball player named Jock Peterson,
Starting point is 00:03:35 someone said that when he played for the San Francisco Giants, his walk-up song was, I'm so humble. Literally have had no time to check it, but... I think I remember being sent something back then. It seemed too granular to be untrue. Yeah. So that's very cool. That's very cool. This was very hurtful.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Somebody wrote in, Is there anything Seth won't say, throwing shade at how often I use the expression, I will say. And just let me just say I didn't care for that. That's me. Salt and Papa, I don't know, did we say Salt and Peppa? My mic sounds nice.
Starting point is 00:04:09 That's what everybody sort of said was what they had long taken. Once we got off the pot and we started like remembering, we were sending texts back and forth, and that was one of the ones. There's also a black sheep song that I think, I think he's referencing the Salt and Peppa song from Wolf and Sheep's Clothing. I forget the name of the song, but I listen to that album a lot, so I might have even been referencing the reference to some degree in my brain.
Starting point is 00:04:32 And then, I mean, if there was any catchphrase in the comment section from last week's episode, it was released the balls cut. Everybody's very excited about the promise of, you know... We're still back. Okay, this is going to get me on hitting up some rappers. I feel like if we just had LP, so this will really... really. Yeah. Well, I think you put LP on there and then we hit up Killer Mike
Starting point is 00:04:55 and see if he'll do it. So it's a full featuring around the jewels. No, because I don't want him to feel left out. Yeah. You know, a wonderful thing about my mom, Hillary Myers, is if she's enamored with you as a guest on my show, she will dive into the catalog. And I've had Killer Mike on my show a few times.
Starting point is 00:05:11 And Killer Mike is an incredibly thoughtful guy. And, you know, he was promoting, like, a documentary about traveling around the country and just really sweet and funny. And so then She said, where can I listen to his music? And I was like, well, you know, run the jewels. Like, enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:05:27 And she really, you know, to her credit, she really enjoyed how, for its filthiness, it's incredibly, obviously, intelligent, well-written. Good for her to give it a real shot. Yeah, she gave it a real shot. Can I big up one song of his that I love that is just a killer mic song, which is called That's Life, Part 1, because he did 2, and it's samples that Frank Sinatra, song and it's it's a it's a real political but it's it's fantastic and rick flair sampling old rick flair yeah it's one of my favorite songs of all time yes um you guys i'm finished with a podcast theme
Starting point is 00:06:03 all right well i'm i have two more things do you go keep keep going set i'll just finish the last thing i feel like this is a good like this is the preamble and i think people were really impressed that in the reading of last week's comments yorm had time to write a new theme song um king floyds i feel like dynamite, multiple people said that is the sample from Rocky. That does sound familiar. Should we listen to it? Yeah, let's listen to that. We'll listen to that after Yorm's new song, but you get that ready, Keeve. And I will just finish with the last comment. Resoundingly was told that across the pond is a Britishism. And some of the Brits, some of the left tenants in Quaid Army were pretty upset that we would even deign to think an American came up with it. That was my theory, so I deserve
Starting point is 00:06:49 of a little credit. Yeah. It didn't sound American. It did not sound American. All right. So here's what we have, URM, play the new deep song, and then a key of you queue up.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I feel like Dynamite. I just, okay, I just dumped two tracks together and another thing, and then we're going to see what it actually sounds like. Okay. This is an interesting way to produce music. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:12 The Flyers and Lurian Park of Trow. Here we go. Great. I mean, really great. Thanks. Thanks, guys. Yeah, we could start the next episode with that. That's like sight unseen, guys.
Starting point is 00:07:27 I mean, that was really exciting to just see how the process worked. You don't even need to look or say, like, hear what you're making. It just fucking, you know, comes out. That's the way to make art, guys. Yeah. It's like doing a painting blindfolded. It's just about the feeling. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Looking at the way of forms. All right, do you have the other one, Keev? Yeah, I do. Also, look at this album cover. Yeah. It's called Well Done. It's got a well-done steak on a beautiful plate with a little tomato and a little garnish there. It's a Lisa from Temecula steak. Yes, it is. It's got a matchbook for, I wonder what it says on there. Here comes King Floyd. The song is I feel like dynamite. License not available. Ooh, well, in the wonder we had to pay for it. It's fucking great.
Starting point is 00:08:17 It is really fucking great. By the way, the best thing is wild. we were playing it and jamming it to us, Jeff, our producer did drop into the chat that we won't be able to play any of that on the podcast. Zero? Probably not. But it's such a small amount. I mean, what did we fucking pay for that thing?
Starting point is 00:08:33 In a certain context. Yeah. It is so sad when you hear like real amazing music that was then sampled and it could have been sampled by like a real rapper and like done some justice and then to hear what we've done with it and be like, oh, I don't know. I don't know. Was that worth it to do that? Here's a comment.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I mean, we mentioned I killed the president, but I did like that someone just said, after a month of jokes, they just casually drop that there's been a winter soldier song this whole time. Well, you don't remember it. That's the whole problem about winter soldiering. I honestly couldn't believe that that's something that was in my head 25 years ago whenever I made that song. Yeah. Which president was around, Keev? I mean, the song doesn't date when it's, when it's,
Starting point is 00:09:21 the story is happening. Sure. We know which one you would have picked, Yorm. Oh, big time. Did you hear it, Seth? I haven't heard it yet, but I would love, can we maybe should play it now. I do like the idea of a couple fighting and just hearing a guy be like, because I'm a winter soldier, is why.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Okay, I found it right away on YouTube. I don't know why I had a trouble before. All right. Rock and roll. So Yorm made this beat and I just made this song one day and did I surprise you guys, Yorm? Did you just come in and I went, I recorded lyrics to it? No.
Starting point is 00:09:51 because you requested me to make this beat. But I think a majority of your extra recording, I think we maybe came in like halfway through, but you asked me to make this beat. I said make me a fresh prince style beat. Yeah, and I nailed it. Boy, does this beat vamp. It's perfectly the lame version of one of the good Jatsy Jetsy Jets beats in the great way.
Starting point is 00:10:13 That actually makes it kind of better. Okay. Now, just trigger warning. There's a Pam Anderson joke in here that I do not stand. by. But on the other hand, the joke was that it's a bad joke and the character did it and says that it gets a, oh, the audience loves this joke. It's like a... Yeah. I like that now you actually literally stand by the actual Pam Anderson. I've seen photos. I'm against this and I'm with her physically. You stand with her. You don't stand by the joke. You stand with Pam. No, emotionally and
Starting point is 00:10:46 physically. Yeah. Now also, this does not go with the Lonely Island. Two minutes and 20 second's max song length either. It's longer? Yeah, significantly. Oh, yeah. This is great. That's also because of the tempo. When you're making it for yourself and just to make Andy and Yorm laugh, nobody else is ever going to hear it as far as you're concerned. No, but the tempo doesn't help you. Now, my question, before you play it, do you think Andy will be bummed or happy that he missed a discussion about? I think it might have killed the president. Bummed? Because we text, we all listened to it, me, Andy and Yorm, since the last pod after someone pointed out that We found it. And Yorm and Andy were being very complimentary on the text chain.
Starting point is 00:11:23 All right, great. I love it. All right, here we go. La. Starts with laws. Oh, you just, you warm up the pipes. La, la. It all started last week when I went on a date.
Starting point is 00:11:40 She was beautiful, long hair. I picked her up at eight. I decided to take her to a magic show. My mom said I shouldn't. But what does she know? A lobster for my left. Lady friend, cooked extra nice, and some amoreto afterwards would be just right. Thank you, Garsohn, this is going to be magnificent.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Oh, the lights went down. Time for the entertainment. A magician took the stage and saw a lady in half. I could see her legs. So fake made me laugh. Then they asked for a volunteer from the audience. I hid my face. No way.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Keeve, was this based on us going to the Magic Castle? I don't know if we had been at that time. First of all, I love a sketch premise. I love that we're just starting. Obviously something's going to happen to the magic show, but this is not a voice. I feel like you did again. No, I did not. I really enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I don't know who this goofy guy is. I know, but I like that you were like, this voice is for this song and no other songs. It only fit in this keyhole. Yes, there's something wonderfully hateful. Really, really happy about everything that's happening for this guy. It's a full character, and this guy is... No way, leave me out of it. He's trying to be like a smug Zach Morris type.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I mean, I've never seen these visuals, Seth, just for the record. Yeah, I know. Somebody has animated this. How many years ago did they do this animation? 20 years ago. Okay. So right when YouTube was new, they pulled up our song from our website, Aaron X. Marie, if anybody's YouTube.
Starting point is 00:13:08 It's great. And made, like, some very simple PC art to it. That is, it's a great time here. But if it starts going into weird, like, Nazi stuff or anything, was not the worst. Take it up with Aaron. Well, I'd be into that. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Next thing I know my girl is volunteering for me. She tells me she thinks men on stage are very sex, so I play along and go up on stage, hoping that the stunt will get me, you know, so now they want to hypnotize me. They'll ring a bell and I'll cluck like a turkey. I say, yeah, right, do your best. This whole thing is faker than Pam Anderson's chest. Big laugh from the audience. They love that joke.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Then appear to hypnotist in a cloud of smoke. So you see, Seth, I wasn't. Me, Akiva never thought that was funny. It's this character. 100%. You are totally fine. It's low-hanging fruit for him. He does a bad joke.
Starting point is 00:14:01 You are in the clear, buddy. You are 100% in the clear. Okay. I'm going to send her an apology anyways because she's probably heard this. She's definitely listening. A fan of the pot. You're out of free of the sound of a bell.
Starting point is 00:14:15 You'll close your eyes and be under my spell. Ready, here we go. One, two, three, ding. I open my eyes and nothing. But wherever I looked, the crowd wouldn't stop laughing. What had I done to elicit this reaction? Now, hold on, y'all. This is the beginning of our story,
Starting point is 00:14:32 and I promise later on it's gonna get gory. So parents, grab your kids and tuck them off in the bed because I think I might have killed the president. Oh, Instagram break Really good Later, I haven't seen the girl since And I get to school And we're having a field trip
Starting point is 00:14:57 Class participation is a must The sign said Washington, D.C. or bust? First thing on the agenda, the reflecting cool And it made me remember that America's pretty cool Then off to the White House for a special tour Our guide was very knowledgeable in American folklore She told us about Lincoln and George Washington and even let us go into the room that they smoked pipes in.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Time to go downstairs. She called the elevator up. It arrived. I heard a ding, and felt my eyes shut. I awoke on the floor. The walls felt all curvy. I was soaking wet and my stomach topsy-turvy. I was covered in blood, holding a knife. I dropped it.
Starting point is 00:15:32 I looked around. I was in the Oval Office. What had I done? I couldn't remember a thing. But then some memories came back to me. I remember finding the president and stabbing him in the neck, then cutting him into little pieces, Stop like him in his death.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Oh, me, oh, my, I didn't mean to. Just the rapper casual gets a shout out here. He has a very famous song called Meo Mai. Oh, me, oh, my, I didn't mean, too. Yeah, really good. Deep cut. Never been said this whack. Oh, me, oh, my.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I didn't mean to. He must have been that him to just that he's evil voodoo. Now, some things are bad like not paying your rent, but I think I might have killed the present. These big, whack, instrumental break. So joyful. Also, I believe these, like, drum roll things was a reference to parents just don't understand. Well, it's been a year now since that fateful event.
Starting point is 00:16:29 I framed a hobo to take the cops off my scent. And every time I hear a bell, I stab someone in the face. But besides that, I say that everything is going great. Please learn from my story. Don't be a fool. Well, I mean, dude, we must have done. parts of this together because the beat is responding to you. Unless you, like, did it and then I made the beat afterwards, I have no idea how we did it.
Starting point is 00:17:06 You definitely collabed at a certain point. Yeah, yeah. I mean, obviously the best line is about seeing the reflecting pool and remembering that. America's pretty cool. And then also remembering you killed the president. Yeah. Support for our fabulous program also comes from Good Job. I just had a good shop delivery.

Starting point is 00:20:29 Guys, you know when we were making the movie Pop Star? I was out in Los Angeles editing for seven and a half months with Akiva, my dude, 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 Aba Kinney.
Starting point is 00:20:58 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. Whether you're vacationing or you're working or you're daydreaming about a bucket list destination or with your family and you need a bit more space. Booking a trip on Airbnb makes for a better trip.

That's why I remember, 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know, just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime.
Starting point is 00:22:51 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. I see Football Town is right up next. Should we just roll right into Football Town? Is that the one you're interested in seeing? Because someone mentioned it? You guys mentioned it on the text chain today. By now, I think everybody's realized Andy's not. here.
Starting point is 00:23:11 And so, um, although you never know. Like, Andy could have his head buried in the old beat. He's, he's shooting his movie. Kudos to him for getting on the pod last week. It was a weekend. Yeah. We chose a Friday. We could have chose tomorrow and it hopes he could do it.
Starting point is 00:23:24 But, uh, you know, we are, uh, we're very proud of Andy for working on this movie. Very happy for him. But we were talking about what else we could talk about, maybe football town. Because I don't know what football town is and I really enjoy this little, uh, piece of Yorm art. Yeah. We don't have to go in any kind of chronological. order, but basically, those like 10 that I texted you this morning that you probably haven't watched
Starting point is 00:23:45 yet. Yeah. I watched a couple. Those are the one hour ones where we were just like, no script. What can we do right now? Let's just start filming something. So there's like a morsel of an idea, even if it's just one interesting shot that we wanted to try to do in each one, even though they're just clearly being discovered as they go in a different kind of a way. And I think I was too, I'll just say me, but Yom, if you want to... I think I was too precious, like, in the beginning, in terms of that's why they're not even on our YouTube channel. Because I was like, hey, we have SNL audience eyes
Starting point is 00:24:18 looking at our YouTube channel because we've had Lazy Sunday. And that's why you can't find them on ours because they were on our website where it was just like, no one will ever see these. And then we were deciding what to put on our YouTube channel, but that felt like a big new platform. And they were too messy for me to... I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:36 I mean, like, yes, yes, for sure. Like, I'm the guy. in the group who's like, fuck it, put it out. Like, well, in hindsight, now they could all be on there. But I'm saying at the time, that's why they weren't. No, but I always appreciated that both you and Andy were more discerning about everything. And I think that's fine. I also do sort of like somewhere that you can't see certain things,
Starting point is 00:24:55 such as the De Rios commercial or, you know what I mean? Like, it's kind of nice that, like, not everything exists. But they all are online because they were on our site and other people uploaded them. So I was going around finding them all. But that's what that group of like really early. early and they have the dates on them. They have the day we shot them on there, which I really appreciate because the point is that they were just that day and what we were goofing around on, and that is the true date
Starting point is 00:25:18 we shot them. Well, can I also say that the other thing I appreciated was that, you know, we all bought a computer. We went to UCLA. I used my, like, last moment of being a student to get a student discount price to buy a computer together, and we were going to edit on it and make shit like this. But I did always appreciate that you were so motivated to be like, Like, let's fucking do it.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Like, who gives a shit what it is? Like, we're going to figure some shit out. So for the people listening that don't know these, they're called, like, lethal objection is one. Oops, Omai is one. Thugash Ruggish Bone is one. Vanilla Sky. And they start with a shot of the apartment we lived in. It's the same shot every time at night.
Starting point is 00:25:59 And so if you find one that looks like that. But I do think it's going to be worth showing those to you, Seth, and talking about them. I watched a couple. I will say, I'm Mary Highland. Happy to hear some of them were an hour. Yes. Or less. We wouldn't type anything out.
Starting point is 00:26:15 There was never like a physical script. It was just. He means like start to finish. Like edit it. They're delightful. Every one of them has like a delightful lonely islandism. And I also love that that is the lonely island apartment building. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:28 So like that's a visual. You get to really see it. But it's the thing that's interesting in hindsight is that we knew the value of doing them. And it turned out to be the truth where we would. be like, if we don't judge and we do it, we're going to learn something every time. And then you watch them and you're like, yeah, there's a bunch of real premises in these that are being thrown away in shitty ways. But like, there are discoveries happening in each one that we would use those skills later in different ways. Yeah. Oh, yeah. For sure. And I'm doing one of those right
Starting point is 00:26:58 now with my daughter. I'm literally like trying to figure out how to make a pinata into like a four-story pinata, like pinata monster. And like it's partially. It's partially. It's a partially exactly that. Like, I'm, like, just trying to figure out how to do it. And, you know, who knows what I'll come over. Yeah. It'll come back and help you at some point. Yeah. Okay, so then let's do Football Town.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Let me tell you, Seth, what Football Town is. Football Town is that we were doing Channel 101, right, with Dan Harmon and Rob Schrobb and a bunch of other people and Jeff Davis, and, like, Jack Black would come do, you know, the ones that Harmon was doing and blah, blah, blah. And at a certain point, it had enough momentum that those guys sold an FX pilot. Right. For Channel 101 to be on FX. And it was going to be.
Starting point is 00:27:38 just truly a version of the same exact thing we have been doing, but broadcast. And the new addition was that there'd be like sports commentators kind of walking you through the evening. But we even shot it at the same place, which was called Cynespace, which was just kind of like an event space that had tables and chairs and a projector where you could watch things. But it was like Jack Black and Jeff Davis wearing like sport coats behind a table now was the addition so that they could give you the play-by-play before one starts. and go like, all right, our next competitors are blah, blah, blah. They're a team from here.
Starting point is 00:28:12 They got their start doing this. They have a new pilot for us tonight. Or, you know, they're coming back with their second episode of this. Let's check it out. Then everybody watches. And afterwards, they would even, like, do John Madden style, like, oh, I especially like when he says he's from here, but it's clearly a closet. Like, I remember them dissecting this after.
Starting point is 00:28:30 And so they asked us to be a part of it. And so this was a new TV show, quote-unquote TV show, you know, five-minute pilot for the... that and it was part, like if we ever could find that 22 minute episode, this would be in that. But with those guys. It was basically battlebots, but, you know, for short films. It truly is. There you go.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Was it exciting at the time when you were doing this? Like, I would imagine the invitation felt like very much the next step in a ladder that you guys felt like you were on. Yeah, I think we were. We'd been doing this for like over a year with these guys because we made different shows for them. We were lucky enough to get like voted back. And Cynist Space was right on Hollywood Boulevard.
Starting point is 00:29:08 hard. It was so fun to have all these fun, nerdy, like-minded filmmakers get together. And really, like, the impetus for originally doing this was just to, as we were already doing, keep active, as you're waiting for shit to happen, not waiting for fucking Hollywood to approve you. But, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:24 people like Tim and Eric, people, like, just wanting to make shit. And, like, you kind of had this actual sense of validation at the end of the month of, like, you made something, people liked it, they voted you back. And so, like, yeah, it was great. It was a really fun time around. Did you feel like, oh my God, we've been spending our time with the right guys. Because, like, look at this. There's an actual, like, pilot that is celebrating the sort of work we've been doing for the last year. Oh, it was so cool. I couldn't believe that they had sold it as a real thing. I mean, like, you know, and then we were like making it. I mean, we were still making the same stupid shit. But it was like, you know, like Jack and fucking Jeff Davis are fucking, like, it was so, it was so real. Jack Block, to be clear, was already a huge star. Like, it was not like this is early before people knew who he was. It was so cool of him.
Starting point is 00:30:08 that he was like just down to do this stuff. It's so exactly who Jack is, but you still feel it with all of the stuff he makes is that he's just like a down dude who loves comedy. It's like he's willing to like get on his bike and join a podcast for no reason. Exactly. But I will say I remember feeling cool
Starting point is 00:30:25 and this is embarrassing to say, but like because we were like kind of like, people liked our shit in this, I remember walking around Channel 101 being like, people like our stuff, that's cool. Like it was like, you know, for just this one room of people. Once they sold it and had it,
Starting point is 00:30:38 We were not surprised to be invited to be one of the people because we were, we did have a little of the confidence of like, yeah, we make good, we make good ones. We belong here. Right. That's still very cool. All right. So you're ready to see this one? I'm in. I'm so excited. And here's the pilot, the unpicked up pilot of Football Town. Are you seeing it? I'm not seeing. Oh, I am. Yes. You see a shot of Chester with the wig on? Yep, yes. I do see it. If it's the one with Chester with a wig on, that's the one I'm getting. Yep, yep. Well, that's my other screen that I always have up of Chester and different. Whigs. By the way, I wouldn't be surprised. All right. Here you go. That opera was good. Which of our three sons do you love the most?
Starting point is 00:31:18 Impossible to choose. I love all three the same. Oh my God, a truck full of hard juice. Okay. I just want to point out that we were so happy to think of how to do car because Gopros don't exist so you can't like just like rig a car and then you don't have any money to like do fancy cameras in a car and we're like how do we shoot in a car and we're like oh we'll just park it in the driveway and walk back and forth with a plant going by yes and this was before my hip injury this is before my hit injury so that is me doing the plant coming by it's the and it's also
Starting point is 00:31:57 the only plant we own so it's the same plant on both sides and i'll just play this again for you set just with on mute just so you can enjoy watching this plant go by he's oh my god and you by like Just not even keeping the potted. The pot is in the shot. Because part of the fun of this bad wig things is the point of like, yeah, you can tell the story and those things, if anything, we're leaning in, you'll see. Yeah. Because it's the joy of it. You know you're not making polished TV, so why fake it in that way?
Starting point is 00:32:26 Why not enjoy it? But this also has to be within five minutes. So every scene has to be like almost within five lines. You have to be like, okay, this is the story. Five lines. They have three sons and they get into a car crash and it's the past. You can tell because it's black and white. And they didn't have a favorite, which I really...
Starting point is 00:32:40 Yes. ...condition that you have is not always. Your Buret is clearly the short one. Yeah. I'm short. Like, this is what Ethan Hawk was doing in Blue Moon, you know? Yeah. And he really took this kind of as an acting choice to make himself shorter.
Starting point is 00:33:04 This is our friend Shana's... Shana Levy's song, Let's Go Sailing is the name of the band. Yeah. I really like that in Blue Moon, they did all. all this work of just like, you know, digging out trenches, basically, like, all this. And you guys just had, you're a slouch even more. Yes. Like, no one will see your legs.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Backwards, basically. You're the youngest brother. We get it. You're showing. We're back on the football field across from our house where you can see Fairfax, the just two guys' graduation field. Yeah. And then what does it say on the tombstones? It says Charles Rice and Olivia Rice.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Okay, got you. It's our parents. And if you'll notice Andy's, the football guy, he's got a chain and a football in his hand. But we did shoot at Golden Hour, so, you know, we were thinking about things. Yeah, it means beautiful. Her song sounds perfectly the cue that would play on the O.C. or, you know, Dawson's Creek or something.
Starting point is 00:33:57 I believe we later used her same music for that shitty ghost weiner short that we did with Blake Lively on the show, too. It might have been the same song. There you go. cracked it to be that was not bringing attention that you think I didn't have enough
Starting point is 00:34:25 I didn't have enough people It's stolen Oh that's a nice shot That was Jonah by the way That we talk about Oh man I'm playing a different character now We didn't have enough people
Starting point is 00:34:46 It really shows how you can Create a vibe with nothing Just zooming in on people And putting on like A headset that you had from like a random phone call at some point and one football helmet and just nothing. Oh, the sprinkler shot was actually genuinely great. And that was the real guy there that worked for the high school.
Starting point is 00:35:03 That is just a stolen shot of him, like, cleaning out. So now we're how long into it, are you, Keith? Just about a minute? Yeah, we're one minute in. All right, so one minute in, we know your parents have died. It's a show called Football Town. Andy put a football on his dead dad's grave. And then we sort of went and saw the opening credits.
Starting point is 00:35:24 And it seems like Andy's maybe a football star. Yorm, are you coaching? No, no, no, no. I'm playing a different character. Got it. Yeah. And then Chester was as well. We were just coaches because we didn't have enough people.
Starting point is 00:35:34 And Akiva, you're also a different guy? No, I think I'm me because I'm writing down stuff. Like, I think I am running plays and stuff. And I think that is what my character is here. Yeah, and Chester's a different guy because he doesn't have a wig. You could also, believeably be like a scout coming to. Oh, right. Maybe I'm scouting.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Okay. Let's see. I honestly don't remember. But all right. So then this is starting. Obviously, we've made a locker room set. Very good, very believable. Cardboard lockers behind Andy.
Starting point is 00:35:57 And, yeah. The whole thing is in our apartment, I think, from here on Apple. Is this OC? Is that, like, in your head? I mean, I know the boo is OC, but is this also that world? It is in Dawson's Creek and anything else you can put into that kind of world. We were pretty obsessed with this tone of the drama at every angle. But by the way, like, Riverdale, when I heard about Riverdale, I definitely turned it on.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Riverdale was after this, and I'm like, that's just this. being like, what if Archie comics, but you treat it like it's Dawson's Creek? Yeah. This is also T.C. Tuggers. Like, and Archie takes off, yeah, takes off his, yeah, it is T.C. Tucker. But he takes off his shirt and he's ripped. What if Archie's ripped? Right. That's just an S.N.L. sketch that they turned into a successful hour-long team drama. Yeah, and like nobody ever was like, so it's just that?
Starting point is 00:36:43 Yes. Okay. See, I'm still in the same shirt, but that might be laziness. You never know. I don't think you have brother vibes here. I'm calling it right now. I think you're a scout. I remember thinking I hated the choice I made for this character and that like I don't think I pulled it off. But I'm sure it's horrible.
Starting point is 00:36:57 But here we go. Got to make choices. Nice work out there, Johnny. Those scouts were loving it. How's the shoulder feel? Like it was never injured. Good. Those scouts don't want to waste their pick on damaged goods.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Hey, Rice. You hear the news? Damien Smith just got kicked out of the NFL draft for taking illegal painkillers. You're kidding me. Nah. You know what that means, right? You're the number one pick at the draft tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:37:19 see you around just like plot yeah oh god very here we are in Spain dialogue with Jailin oh shit
Starting point is 00:37:30 now Yorm's back and Yorm is playing piano yeah but it's just a piece of paper that we do piano piece on because we didn't I'm a savant who's like
Starting point is 00:37:39 maybe challenge and see this is what I remember from the pilot from the FX pilot is them like John Maddening this moment and drawing a circle around it to be like, Andy's entering like he's coming, it's clearly the closet.
Starting point is 00:37:57 We didn't even try to hide it. No, we just needed an entrance and that was... We could have a light in there like it was coming from the outside or something. Nope, we didn't have a light. How long was he hanging out in a closet before this? All right. That's my impression. Mommy used to play that song.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Johnny, you're back. That's how short he is. Don't stop. Keep playing. It's a Boy Scouts shirt. He loves his older brother. That's the only place he finds a piece of funny. When I close my eyes, it's almost like they're still here. Mr. Jenkins says I'm a shoe-in for the music academy.
Starting point is 00:38:39 I know we can't afford it, but just getting in would be awesome. You don't like your choices. I swear in our parents' grave, I will do whatever it takes to make sure you can always play that piano, Kevin. Kevin, Marron. Reprising my role, Kevin. Yeah, I was about to say, if Lauren was watching this, he definitely would be like, I'll tell you why it doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:39:04 It's the same name. You know what, I don't know if he should be Kevin. Is there not an 11-year-old boy? I also love that when the piano starts up again, we didn't bother clip. Like, it doesn't fade up or anything. It just clips back in. It was like pause, unpause. It comes from bombas. Guess what I'm wearing right now, you guys? For real, bombas. They are a fantastic
Starting point is 00:39:30 sock. And as you guys know, I'm trying to look like Jeremy Allen White's dad this year, mentally and physically. And that means sports activity. The guy is a monster. These socks are perfect for it. They're cushioned where I need it most. I assume Jeremy Allen White's dad wears them as well. Sweat wicking, which we've talked about, had a little problem with odor. Not anymore. And they are loaded with other tech features, which I can't talk about. Radar. Sonar, probably. That keeps me comfy and locked in. Here is a list of things that you could wear them doing. Spring cleaning. You could go on a jog, sure, more active. You could walk around the house screaming at your kids to get their socks on.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Where you put on your bambas, look what I'm wearing, things like that. Ooh, there's a new squishy Saturday suede slip-on shoe as well. They don't just make socks, guys.

Starting point is 00:41:34 By the way, also, did not change our fridge at all from the fridge. Number one, I mean, this just looks a beautifully set act to have, like, rust on the front of your fridge, but that's just me and Andy's fridge. It's just we just live in the dream here. And then also the fact that like it's the one promo picture we took at Sears for us is up there, but it could just be the brothers, you know, so it just works as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good set duck. Hey. This guy's tossing a ball around.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Tomorrow's big day. Nervous? Yeah, a little, I guess. Nah, you'll be fine. What's that? Oh, he's shoulder injury. God damn it, John. Your shoulder isn't better.
Starting point is 00:42:19 You lied. What do you want me to do, Walt? This is my shot. All ever wanted to do is play ball. We'll postpone this thing. There's always next year's draft. No, we got to do it now. Who's going to pay for Kevin's piano school, you?
Starting point is 00:42:32 Ooh. I think there's a bit of, just in the, you know, Vanderbeak, rest in peace universe, I think we're doing a little bit of the varsity blues here. Yeah. He's doing a little of I don't want your life kind of accent there. Yeah. Oh, there's something very funny about like not shying away,
Starting point is 00:42:47 like we didn't shy away from drama. Ugh, tension between the brothers. Yeah. I like the detail that you would just post. postpone, you would be like, I'm not going to do the draft this year. Yeah, because I care about his shoulder and him as a person. Yeah, but he's just caring about Kevin as a person. Yeah, because he needs him to go to music school.
Starting point is 00:43:04 We saw how well he played piano. Now, we, Kiev, we did have one microphone that we would basically tape to a brun stick that was like our boom mic. It doesn't sound like we used it on this. We definitely did, but I don't think we might have, sometimes we had to tape it to like the wall or something because we didn't have a fourth person in the room. So it might not be pointed in the right direction. All right. I may not have had the gifts you have,
Starting point is 00:43:31 but I'm the oldest and I'm still in charge of this family. You're wrong. You did have the gift. You just didn't have the guts. Johnny, as your manager, I demand that you drop out of the draft. So I'm the oldest. Johnny! Johnny!
Starting point is 00:43:45 That's good acting, Keith. Yeah, that's better. You're growing on me, Keith. Your choice is growing on me. So that way, wait, wait, go back. So that house is the same house that we shot out multiple times for The Boo. That is our friend, Janet Graham Borba's house, who is a huge person at HBO. She was like, Game of Thrones was her show.
Starting point is 00:44:08 So the fact that they would allow us to, like, fuck around their house. But we didn't shoot at their house this time, too. So did we have this establishing shot left over from something else? I guess so, yeah. Probably. I'm surprised we didn't just drive to any random house and film the front. I bet we had this from Boe, honestly. I think so, too.
Starting point is 00:44:29 This is still good editing, by the way, and, like, coming up from your stupid chair. It's not bad. Totally. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us today. In a few moments, the NFL draft will begin. You're drinking.
Starting point is 00:44:55 The first pick of the draft. So Chester's back in a wig, but he's not the dad. is a third character for Chester. He's not the dad who died. I actually, I hate to jump in, Keith. I think it's a fourth character for Chester. Because I think he was also... Oh, right, because he was also one of the coaches on the sidelines,
Starting point is 00:45:12 at the scouting and stuff. So it's a fourth character for him. Jonah's hat. I guess he's an owner. It's also a second character for Jonah. Yeah. Who is not dressed like he would be someone at a draft. No, he's the Texas.
Starting point is 00:45:26 He's an oil tycoon who owns the team. Dumbass? It makes perfect sense, Seth. He looks like a Beverly Hillbilly. He looks like if there was literally an NFL team called the Beverly Hillbillies. Where did we get that at? Like, where the fuck is this shit from? I mean, does it, oh, anyway.
Starting point is 00:45:44 San Fernando 48ers choose. The San Fernando 40-8ers. Wonderful stuff. Johnny Rice. That's why their last thing is Jerry Rice, because we had a Jerry Rice jersey. Oh, my God. That's the long. The long reveal of why was their last name right.
Starting point is 00:46:04 It's just shit that was lying around the house that would determine the writing. But the best thing about it, too, is that, like, they don't hold up a jersey at the draft. So you guys did all this work for a thing that doesn't happen at the draft. Well, I didn't know that. It also looks a little dirty and, like, maybe it's like an old jersey. It's definitely old. It's one we owned. It's vintage.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Also, there's a very fun thing that you guys. don't have a regular size football in this sketch. And we did not have the money literally to go buy a regular football. So you keep cutting the football you put on your dad's grave, the one that you're nervously holding on drafting. It's just like the small. It's like a dog toy football. This ticker at the bottom, I clearly recorded some ESPN and then was able to just like in
Starting point is 00:46:53 final cut, do a mat and just place it onto the bottom. Oh, Keev, there was so much that I learned from you, like with that type of shit. I'm just stealing. But then the way we wrote 2004 official football draft is just like no attempt at making that look. Dumped on top of it. I look poorly. Not centered. Wait, why do I take a shot when he gets pulled?
Starting point is 00:47:13 Because I'm worried by his shoulder. Hold on. San Fernando 48ers choose. I'm nervous. Johnny Rice. And he does get picked. But why am I? You're sucking down the pain, dude.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Yeah, I'm worried about his children. He should be more excited. Thank you very much. I did it for you, Kevin. I think we got a little Jerry McGuire in here, too. Yeah. Just the feeling of like we're going to be... Oh, yeah, here you go.
Starting point is 00:47:40 We seeded this earlier. Illegal pain killers. Yeah, and he's back in the locker room. Yep. And I'm going to be an alcoholic. He's on pain. Oh, we called ourselves the dudes. Keep playing.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Wait, what did he say at the end? What was his last? Keep playing. Keep playing. He said it to himself playing. Keep playing. Keep playing. Wow.
Starting point is 00:48:03 All right. I think maybe they lowered it to 430 for the broadcast. Gotcha. I'm surprised they didn't make it three-minute pilots. I think later on they do get a show picked up, by the way, for Channel 101. Once we were at SNL that we were not a part of, it was not on FX, I believe. But they did have a TV show that went to air. That was based on Channel 101.
Starting point is 00:48:21 That was a different format. Wait, Keeve, though, did they vote on it at the end of this pilot? Like, did we get voted back? Yeah. I don't know. I mean, if that didn't get voted back. what would. Come on.
Starting point is 00:48:33 So who were the other pilot creators? Do you remember who else was doing pilots for that? Definitely Justin Royland. Good one. Am I misremembering, Kee, but is Rick and Morty from, I feel like I saw Rick and Morty at Channel 101. Didn't they make Rick and Morty for, like? They definitely made a demo of it at some point that maybe was for Channel One or it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Remember they also had the one that we even did voices and called House of Cosby's? Did you ever see that stuff? Oh, yeah, very funny. This is pre, you know, Cosby going down. Yeah. But it was, it's an animated thing. It looks just like Rick and Morty, but a little cheaper. And it's like multiplicity, that movie, where somebody wants a Cosby, but he keeps cloning them over and over,
Starting point is 00:49:09 and they're getting dumber and weirder each time. It was Jeff Davis, the guy that was just with Jack Black, as the main voice as like a normal sitcom character, who's the one who's like, now lives in this house trying to be like, Cosby. But there's just Cosby's everywhere, and they're like all have different personalities, and they're always going, Theo! Everybody says Theo a lot. It was very fun. I'm sure. I'm sure it's on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:49:34 So I'm sorry, I'm going to ask you. So Channel 101, live at Channel 101, was also a pilot about many pilots, right? Yeah, that's what that was. It was like a game show. Yes, but it did not become a show. They just shot that one pilot. Yeah, it did not get picked up by FX,
Starting point is 00:49:48 but it was that pilot that was a clip of it. You saw they had stats. Yes. And they were treating it like it was a sporting event, but then they would play it. So that was the context that Football Town played in as well. I did not know. that they made it into an actual show later.
Starting point is 00:50:02 They did while we were deep at S&L, so we kind of missed that whole thing, and I don't remember where it was or anything. But it did air as a show? Yeah, not this, but a different iteration of it. Got it. Well, I always thought there was a show called Yacht Rock, and I hadn't heard that term,
Starting point is 00:50:18 and I felt like it was sort of coined. No, J.D. Reisner and he did with somebody else, but they definitely coined the term Yacht Rock. Yeah. It comes from Channel 101, for sure. A lot of fun people involved. Drew Carey, Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Killowell.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Steve A.G., Aziz, Kumail, Randall Park. Yeah, Randall did a whole bunch of stuff. Yeah, some of these were after us. And some of these people we probably saw and didn't even realize who they were. Oh, wait. They noticed in Football Town. It was the 2004 NFL draft. And Andy went number one.
Starting point is 00:50:47 The actual number one pick in the draft, Eli Manning. Oh. Who then did Blizzard Manit dress. So lifetime is a flat circle. It was meant to be. But also, also, oh, my God, the fourth pick of the draft. Philip Rivers, who you might remember from the refrigerator of Great Day. Wait, that's who was on it?
Starting point is 00:51:06 Yeah. That was the cocaine reference. Yeah. And Seth, you know it's also a flat circle? Earth. It's not actually round. Man, part of Yorm's... Both sides.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Both sides. Yeah, we can move on. Yorm always says you can see both sides of the earth because it's basically a coin. All right, so it was a wonderful trip down. Memerly... Fuck, I can't say Memerly. Memerly. Is it Memerley?
Starting point is 00:51:27 Just say Memerly Lane. Anyway, Memerly Lane. The house I grew up on was on Memerly Lane. Is there a good, weird song to close out this sort of detritus episode where we're just going through the files? Yeah, where we're just finding some stuff. Yeah. I feel like it was really fun to hear President. And then we did a little football town and drop a weird deep track song on us.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Okay. Oh, you know what? Let's do Artie party then because Andy's not here. Okay. Again, similar to the line that I don't stand by in President, this is 2000. The culture was different. Let's see what's in here. It was me and Akiva in the grand tradition of basically calling him a cunt when he wasn't there. Yes, exactly. And this is like a journal entry. We did not think anybody would hear this but him and our friends.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Okay. Here we go. Ready? We did remixes of this, by the way. It's already too slow. Yo, yo. I knew this cat named Arty. He wore sandals inside. When he came to the party, he would make sure it rocks. He would flail his arms around and do the Artie dance, leaving every motherfucker with folk in their pants. It was Friday, you're at the jam of the year,
Starting point is 00:52:39 but something's missing there, man, Artie ain't here. People standing on the wall, not freaking at all. Check it, what you need to do is give Audi a call. And then 60 seconds hit a this and knock on the doors. My man Artie with Bacardi's saying, get on the floor. And I've been getting down ever since he said that shit, at the dance club having a connection fit. Now, who rocks the party more than Artie?
Starting point is 00:53:00 No one. And who smokes face back of the alley. When we found him on the street, he was homeless and shit, so we addicted him to coke, so he'd be dependent. Now, if he wants more drugs, he's got to rock for us. Go down the post stroll and pick up cock for us. Hey, yo, Audi's got the steps that I move your body. That's why we like the Audi that rocks the party.
Starting point is 00:53:21 That was a better reveal than I thought. See like the Audi Who rocks the party See like the Audi That rocks the party Your Audi sticks Like a motherfucker Drowning his shit
Starting point is 00:53:33 But the crazy part is How much I love that kid He's so intelligent And charming Ugly and disgusting Thor a hit a yay He'll do just about anything Like suck my dick
Starting point is 00:53:43 Hell yeah You suck your dick nerd You're holding weight He'll do anything Work He wears glasses He has a hair cut Like a cloud
Starting point is 00:53:49 And if you got a girl Over you don't want him around Cause he smells Matt dog Cause he'll snatcher up Straight player for real sports sandals and socks Picture the most disgusting fucking man on the planet And motivated by eight
Starting point is 00:54:02 God damn Artie's great Do anything for my ace even clean his face When the schmutz starts to dry Plus he always stays laced in the brand new Tivas Plus the wool socks You came here to party He came to smoke rocks We like the Audi
Starting point is 00:54:16 We like the Audi Smoothest cat you've ever seen The chicks know what I mean He's so fresh and so clean He'll rub up on your leg with Without wanting, start humping it. A boy. What's that smell in his pants?
Starting point is 00:54:35 He's been dumping it. True gang. Making all the girl's balls. Artie, you look good without dumping your draw. If all he ever stopped rocking, you know he would kill him. Roll him up in the carpet and throw him off of a building. So I slip him PCP whenever he's not looking. So he keeps the party jumper from the floated to ceiling.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Yeah, he looks good when he's smoking on rocks. And don't forget, Jolly's wearing sandals and socks. Got a lot of beating the dead horse. Great stuff. Oh, wow. And then, oh, well, first of all, better than I thought it would be by far, honestly. Did he go away for the weekend or something,
Starting point is 00:55:42 and we just made mean things about him? I guess we need a voice note from Andy where he listens to this and then tells it, because he definitely came home and we had that song to play for him. Hey, glad you're back. So Artie, when did he? you guys start calling him Artie? I don't know. That was a self-diagnosed
Starting point is 00:55:58 nickname there. I think he called himself Artie. He gave himself Artie. Yeah, it was definitely before this song. This was not it. But wow, that song really goes through a story. I mean, first you're just like, if you have a party that's dead, invite Ardi over it. He's the life of the party. He'll get everybody dancing. He's wonderful. But then we just kind of
Starting point is 00:56:14 slip in there that, by the way, and then he'll go in the back and the alley and he'll smoke a little bass, just kind of thrown away. His main trait is that he wears Tevas and Wolf's socks. And we just want, which by the way, now is like a very hip look and has been for like six years. Back then it was like the ugliest thing we could think of. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:32 It's basically just two guys look. Yes. And then, yeah, we just kind of let you know that like he's really addicted to. We also are using him so that we can have sex with male prostitutes, I guess? No, he's the one that we'll go do it. We're pimping him out. He's basically, we've got, he's addicted to free base and he'll do anything we say to get money. And so he is turning tricks for us to make money.
Starting point is 00:56:56 And dancing for us. And dancing for us like a trained monkey to get the party hype. And don't forget, he's wearing sandals and socks. And he's also shit in his pants. It's a little precursor to Dreamgirl where we're doing those middle verses are all compliments, you know, being like about how wonderful he is but how disgusting is, how we love him more than anything. Like how he looks so fantastic with his hair that looks like a clown and his glasses,
Starting point is 00:57:18 which is then we're just getting to reality again. I mean, the line that, is that Mari? Who's saying that? Like, the, Artie, you look good with that dump in your draws. Yeah, I assume, but I have no clue. It's a really good line. And then also me and you are trying to change characters each verse. We're like completely different guys each verse trying to do different styles.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Was he delighted when you played Artie Party to him? I think so. I think so, yeah. You know what? Let's just get a voice note from Andy. We'll ask him what his reactions were to Artie Party and how he did on today's Spelling Bee. And we'll drop that in now.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Hey guys, it's Andy. So, yeah, Artie Party. A loving homage to a dear friend. Once again, these early days just being treated so nice by my two buds. And, you know, in a lot of ways, I was, you know. There's a lot of mixed messages in the song, which is sort of like cornerstone of the whole endeavor. Fun re-listening to it, remembering so many nice details.
Starting point is 00:58:14 I really liked my two friends flow. I thought they were both kind of bringing it in a nice way. Um, Keeve drops into a 50 cent at one point, which I appreciated, the kind of gridded teeth style, which was very popping at the moment. You know, I wore sandals with socks a couple times. Uh, I was a summer camp guy, camper and counselor, and I had nice tivas. And I'm not going to even pretend like the socks weren't fleece. You know what I mean? I was very comfortable.
Starting point is 00:58:40 I quickly burned out of doing that. I knew it wasn't cool. And in fact, fun tidbit, uh, around this time, we went to a Halloween party. LA where we were living and I dressed as the kid from your cabin at summer camp that everyone hates and I wore a super dumpy green cotton turtleneck fleece pants flee socks and tivas and we showed up to a party where we didn't know anyone and true to form everyone ignored me because they thought I was just a dude that dressed like that and then at the end of the night I finally talked to a few people and they were like what's your costume and I told them and they were like whoa that's actually so funny and I was like yeah
Starting point is 00:59:19 I just wasted the whole night. Worst Halloween ever much. Anyway, that was a great anecdote. And, you know, the irony, obviously, is that that style has come all the way back around. And now it's like, oh, yeah, that's what my parents wore. Isn't it so ironic and wonderful? Kind of like how we were rocking that 70s disco gear in high school. Anyway, the song's mean, but it goes.
Starting point is 00:59:42 What are you going to do, you know? Also, like, you guys stand on all that crack stuff, that bass rock shit? That's what you wanted to put out into the world? I wasn't involved, so my hands are clean. Anyway, I needed one hint to get Queen Bee today, and it really pissed me off. But the last two days, I quibbied clean, and that felt fantastic. Obviously, Seth didn't. I know because we texted about it.
Starting point is 01:00:01 I'm not going to say anything mean to him because I'm all about positivity now. That's my new bent. All right, guys, enjoy. I'm going to go back to not being able to be there. Goodbye. Keeve, just real quick. Will you play, you won't be surprised to hear this, Seth. But I befriended a dude who worked at Guitar Center who made EDM
Starting point is 01:00:19 kind of like electronic music. And he did a remix of Rdi party for us. But I can't believe that there's remixes on that playlist you guys have. That's, that's the, yeah. I think his name was Kid Icarus. He was going by Kid Icarus.
Starting point is 01:00:34 His name was Brian. But isn't it using the music from Kid Icarus from the NES game? It must have been, yeah, because he was making weird like plinky like computer. Will you play just two seconds of it? Salvin's a lot. Very different mind.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Immediately more professional. I'm assuming that's the melody from Kidigorous. I knew this cat named Arnie, he wore sandals and zoss. When he came to the party, he would make sure it rocks. He would flail his arms around. Yes, I like this better. This is great. You're at the jam of the year, but something's missing.
Starting point is 01:01:25 On the street, he was homeless and shit, so we addicted him to coke, so he'd be dependent. Now if he wants more drugs, he's got to rock for us. the host roll and pick up cock for us That's why we like the audi That rocks the body It's great So weren't we saying Pick up cock for us?
Starting point is 01:02:18 Yeah We sent him down the host roll To pick up cock for us But I remember that one And loving it It's very good That Kidaker's one What's the other remix?
Starting point is 01:02:28 I don't know who did the other remix Oh, a darker tone Oh, who did this one? Is it Doria? It's pretty good. It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. Oh, wait, wait, wait, keep going.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Rima Williams. I think this is the Rima Williams. So it gets on the chorus, it goes big. Yeah, that's really a very much A very good party party is just genuinely good times. This is basically like SoundCloud stuff before SoundCloud, right? Like where people share their homemade music and then other people say, hey, can I remix that? And there's community and stuff.
Starting point is 01:04:00 It's cool. I remember we did that for, there's a song called, champion that is in the closing credits of McGruber, the movie, that Kristen Wig sings, and then for stereo gum, we released the a cappella, and then people
Starting point is 01:04:15 did, like, a gang of remixes. I think it's always a cool little extra thing to do for... And actually, in the movie that I just did, Juliette Lewis does a song, Samara Weaving does a song, oh, and Karen Gillen does a song. So maybe we'll release the acapellas. Thank you for that trip down memory lane.
Starting point is 01:04:31 It's always fun when I hear stuff for the first time. Um, yoram, congrats on the awesome trailer coming out. Oh, thank you. Came out for your movie. We need to talk about that kind of thing when it happens here. Yes. This is late, so we could really do it next episode too. But, um...
Starting point is 01:04:44 Yeah, thank you. Over your dead body, go on YouTube, Google, Google, Google, Google, Samara Weaving, shot in Finland. A lot of sauna. You can feel the sonnas kind of coming off the trailer. Thank you. It also is going to be preparing at South by Southwest March 14th, so if you're in Austin, come through.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Is that a late? night screening or like a normal time screening? It's a normal, normal. Ready or Not premieres the night before, so I'm going to go see that with our buddy Matt Bennelly. Another Samara weaving with blood all over her with a shotgun. She loves it. She loves screaming and getting splattered with that.
Starting point is 01:05:18 It's very funny that it's just through randomness. It's our best buddy Matt. Yes. And who makes the Ready or Notts and just made... Well, it's not even random because, like, Matt was the one who was like, you gotta hire her. She's fucking amazing. And he was right.
Starting point is 01:05:32 She's so good. You might see a Shoemaker down at South by Southwest. We produced a movie called Brian that our writer Mike Scalins wrote. Awesome. And so Shoemaker's going down. So check out Brian if you're going to be in Austin as well. Do you know the day that that's happening? Is it this similar?
Starting point is 01:05:48 I should know, but I don't. Oh, I'll tell Shoemaker to you up through. All right, you guys. Well, what a delight. At least we have a lot more of these for when we don't have Andy, although he was a part of all them. So, yeah. And I bet I genuinely think that Andy will be bummed that he's missing.
Starting point is 01:06:03 these because I think he probably has a lot of as expected delight in these early day shaggy ones. Agreed. All right. I love you guys. Love you. Love you too, Seth Lee. And what do you have to say about that, Arnold? That works.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Later, Arnold. Later, Quades.
