It's the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast. All right, we're just going to get into it. Hey, everybody. This is Seth, and this is the Lonely Island podcast. And we've had an incident with one of our members that we want to address right off the top. Our dear friend, Yorma, can we hand it over to you to explain? I feel like the minute you said with one of our members, everyone was like, Oh, I know who it is.

No, here's the thing. Oh, boy. I'm a very active guy, as all of you guys know. I love building things. And I do have a place up in Connecticut. It's like this super old farmhouse. It's built in 1739. It's very funky.

Keith's been there. It's a vibe. It's like very Calvin hops. It's very nice. I feel like everybody assumed you like to make like t-shirts with weird things on I like it all. I don't think people jump to like super hit. Right, right.

No, but you build, you build big things there and a bear tore down. I forget what that structure was you built. Yeah, but I like I built like during the pandemic. I built like a, you know, a tree house and a clubhouse and a dog out, like all kinds of shit. This is the most casual windup for one of the craziest things that's ever happened. I know. Yes. Yes.

I feel like everybody's like, it can't be that bad. Yeah. So, yeah. So, okay, I'll try. I'll try to condense it so it's funnier. You don't have to, buddy. So one of the projects that I wanted to do this summer was I wanted to build, like, there's a barn, and the back half of the barn has this big white wall.

And I was like, oh, this is great. We can do a big mural. The mural would be very, very large at the top. The apex of this barn is like 25 feet. I was like, it'll look really cool if the whole thing in a very hippie fashion, very Berkeley, is completely like Florida ceiling is covered. So I was working on that the whole time. Like I borrowed tons of ladders.

I think now people can start to guess where this is going. So I was painting this barn. And then I was like, oh, as like as a final touch, I was like, I should hang these lights that will go around, like around the eve of the barn to like highlight the barn. So I was doing that on the day. This is right after I got back from LA. I was doing the commercial with Stephanie. I flew back.

And then my daughter's birthday was going to be on a Sunday. Sunday morning, my wife is like, why are we doing this now? I was like, oh, well, wait, it's good. It'll be great. It's going to look really nice. So I'm using this ladder that my neighbor let me borrow, and he was like, hey, this ladder is bad. Like, you shouldn't use this ladder. Like, it doesn't have, like, a footing thing.

And I was like, no, it'll be good. So then I lean it up against the thing. I'm almost done with, like, I've done most of the house. When this happens, I'm probably 20 feet off the ground. on this very rickety ladder and i have it diagonal so if you can picture that the legs are not are not good the base of the ladder is not good and does i like the key part you want to be good yeah my friend morgan was offering to help me but i was like ah he's he went inside to get some water oh man so i'll just do this myself so i felt it give way like it's it's starting to

go and i'm like oh no like in this moment like my life flashes before my eyes and i'm like oh no I got to get off this ladder. I literally have enough time as I'm falling to be like, I'm going to die. Like, and so I drop, I look over. I like literally see the yard and I'm like, this is going to hurt a lot. And I fall straight on my butt, taking all of the impact on my butt. Then I do a lot of screaming and cursing. Keep in mind, it's my daughter's fifth birthday party.

So I think so that wasn't, yeah. It wasn't the coolest way to start. at the day. Oh, no. And anyway, so I'm like, call an ambulance. Like, it was very hot rat, actually. It was like the moment that the dude, like, broke his femur. And, like, immediately was like, I'm not good.

I'm not good. Like, so, anyway, so, and I already feel like sort of numb, right? So I hit the ground. I'm tangled up in the ladder. I'm like, like, I know something's really bad. I go to the hospital. It turns out that I have shattered my pelvis on my left-hand side. like pretty pretty badly my sacrum has detached from my spine

by the way all of this sounds worse that it is um we said then we told people he's he's in the hospital bed right oh yeah yeah i'm in a hospital bed yeah this is this is two days post surgery right and the surgery is uh well okay i get i wonder if at any point people were just because of how long it took we're like, oh, I hope he's just stuck at the top of a ladder. So I'm podcasting from the top of a ladder. That'd certainly be better. That would be better, like Rapunzel.

But anyway, so sacrum is shattered as well. Detach from my spine. I broke my L5 lump, like whatever. A disc is like bad now, so they've got to chuck that out. But basically they have to like figure it. It takes a while to schedule surgery because they wanted to do like the front part and then the back part as well. And anybody who's had like pelvis stuff happen apparently.

I mean, I do get a lot of credit here, which is nice. Like everybody who talks to me is like, oh, wow. Oh, wow, that's real painful. So it is truly like the most, I know I'm laughing about it right now. But like it isn't probably the most rugged thing I will ever experience. And honestly, it's been described as life-changing. But then on the plus side, all the doctors have been like, yeah, but you'll be walking within like three to six months and you'll be back to like well all of the stuff that you normally

do and so um so we shall see and i think a lot of it's gonna have was it um was that was that positive before the surgeries or was there a more the surgery couldn't have gotten better but like going into the surgery was there a chance that it would have taken longer than six months was this like a situation no i think that though like i think that that was best case scenario like everyone has said across the board like this is just some really fucking painful shit and you got You have to, like, just do a lot of work. So I'm just going to have to, like, fight through the pain. I mean, I've already gotten up.

I've gone to the bathroom by, I mean, like, with help and all that sort of stuff. But I'm going to have to go to, like, acute rehab and, you know, it's like, it's definitely no joke. And I know this is, maybe it's not the funniest way to start a podcast. I appreciate you're saying it all with smile on your face. But as someone from afar that has just been hearing about it, it's been horrible. Like, not for me, but I'm just saying it's been a really rough stretch. Just just to be super clear. That's kind of why I was sending you guys videos because I was like, you know, I don't want you to think I'm, you know.

And you are on, I assume, a lot of pain medication right now. Yes, yes. But I try to keep it as sarcastic as possible, Keith. No, and I, and we love you. But I also just want to say that we've all been. Worried sick. You already know. So I'm not saying this for your arm's sake.

I'm trying to take it for the audience. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that it has been a really scary week. And we're glad that you didn't hit your head and that you're not dead. Oh, dude. I'm, it's so weird to say this, but I'm like insanely lucky. And then the craziest thing was that like, my doctor came in this morning and was like, I was like, oh, yeah, if you had hit your heels.

Like, if you'd landed on both your heels, that would have been 10 times worse. I'm like, 10 times worse. Like, I don't know paying that, like, that level was possible. Like, it's like, it's pretty rugged. To echo Keeve and stress how scared we've all been, there's also that really, unique thing when you have a group of friends like ours who have just this pattern of sort of glib sarcastic texting when news like this breaks it takes a minute to just like fully have it register what happened because jeff our producer had texted yorm and i hey you guys have

to record one of you has to record those ads today and then like we got the text pack was like hi this is mari who's yorm's wife hi hi hi this is yorm's wife hi hi this is This is Mari texting from Yoram's phone and then basically gave us the gist of what Yoram just told us, which is... Yeah, 20-foot-fall. Yeah. There is that question when you're, you know, comedy people, like how long you let it go before you say something kind of shitty. Well, I mean, like, don't you think it should be instantaneous? For me, that was until last night.

Oh, would you lay on them last night? We were texting last night, and this is, what, a day and a half, two days post-op? Yeah. I said, not sure if this is the best time to bring up, but do we think the door is officially closed on you dunking now? Right. And then I immediately panicked and said, dice roll to try a joke this soon. Apologies if that was too soon. Honestly, I didn't even like remember that like me laughing on this pod is like, oh shit, oh, read that.

I don't know if I can do that. It's going to hurt to laugh. I mean, I think all our listeners will certainly be keyed in to see if your fall has given you sort of now. Like a limitless style memory. You know, if everything is flipped. Actually, I feel like my memory's been a little bit better. Like, I certainly remember. There are so many nurses and doctors, and everyone's been so, so nice.

Shout out to Sarah, in particular, my nurses. Shout out, Sarah. Yeah, she's the shit. Shout up to everybody over there. Yeah. This is not a joke I told you, and hopefully nobody here thinks it's inappropriate. And it's not even a joke. I will just tell you

due to your earworm type success over the years and how much I love your work that I often, when I think about this horrible thing, in my head here, Yorm fell off a ladder. Yorm fell off a ladder.

Yeah. Fuck, I mean, it's so hard because as a comedy person, so what stats reference is that when we did this photo shoot and we may have talked about this on this spot. Yeah, of course, yeah. But I was falling up this,

this horse and just being all three of us being so glad that we filmed it like but it is so hard just as a comedy person not to be like fuck i wish i'd like because my kid immediately asked me it was like do you think that it would have been funny to see it if it was on video and i was like yeah definitely like without the without the audio yes i think it would have been hilarious hurting yourself in a real way i tore my ACL and i can't remember if i talked to you guys about it but you immediately do the Will Ferrell bit of, like, narrating your own pain. Yeah, yeah. Like, oh, God, that is so bad.

That is so bad. Yeah. Call an ambulance. And, like, one time I cut my finger really badly. And when I think about it was with Chester, we were roommates in college, and I cut my finger really bad. And I immediately was like, within a week after it happening, imagining how you responded and the things you said immediately is funny to you.

Yeah. Because it's so heightened and cartooning. It's also great because it's so exactly you. Yeah. You're like, oh, I guess that's the type of shit I say. I guess that's my pure self. It was like, oh, God, I don't want to lose my finger. I had early, early COVID, Axel, like, tripped and hit his, like, chin on a stone step.

Yeah. And it was just, like, a gusher of blood. Yeah. And I was losing my mind. And Alexi was like, he's going to be fine. I'm like, he's not going to be fine. And you can't go to the ER because it's fucking COVID. And then, like, literally six minutes later, fully cleared up, a little tiny scratch.

He's like, God damn it. Fucking really, really rolled in too hot on that. Wait, did I tell you guys, like, because this is almost, like, force majeure level, embarrassing, where we had this, like, grease fire in our apartment in New York, and this fucking toaster was going off,

and I threw, like, a greasy rag. I didn't realize, like, there was grease on it, sort of thing. I made it worse. Fucking flames shoot out of this toaster. And the first thing I said was, grab the cats, let's get out of here. Like, and...

Those people above us in our apartment. So, like, I'm, like, willing to, like, let everyone die, I guess. And Mari just closes the door of the toaster oven. The oxygen goes out and it turns off. But I had just said it. You were right. Like, so I just revealed who I was as a person. And I was like, oh, I guess, or that, you could do that, too.

Oh, yeah, no, you're right, because oxygen and whatnot. Fucking bongers. We're all hilarious cowards. Oh. Totally. More importantly, how are you guys? Like, how's everyone? Thanks, sir.

Thanks for check it in. So sick. Do you want to stay on for this whole thing, Yorgie? Or you maybe want to... Yeah, I mean, I do. I probably should bounce because I do have to, like, get into, like, regimens of, like, taking drugs and whatnot. We weren't expecting you to come on the cast at all, post-breaking every bone in your mid-section.

I also just want to show, like, a certain level of dedication to be like, this is what it takes. This fucks me in perpetuity now because... That's my goal. Anytime I'm like, oh, I can't. And you're going to be like, why? Are you in the hospital? Did you put your back in three places? Yeah.

How many metal rods did you just get put into your butt? You're already trying to figure out how expensive it's going to be to build a hospital bed set. Just so you can send us pictures of a little backdrop. We're like, we want to see your feet. I actually broke three pelvises. Pelvi? Pelvi. Oh, shit.

All right, Yormi, we love you. Yes, I will probably jump off. You know what? Next week, though, I think I'll be able to make it because I'm not doing much, you guys. Do I hate to be this guy? Yeah. Feel like a thank you is in order

for the fact that after I got that text from your wife, I did the ads. Oh, my God. Oh, you know what? That's the real reason. Just, I mean, again, we can do it next week, but whatever. That's the real reason I go on, Seth. It's just a thank you for doing the ads.

If this had happened to any of the rest of us, we would not be on this pod. So Yorm really has trumped us. Yom is really, I mean, you're a general of the Kuwait Army. It's official now. Yeah. Well, we love you. We've already talked to you off. This isn't, you know, we don't need a podcast to publicly do things like, I don't know what you

call it. Performative, weird shit. I'm going to do it. We're trying to shuffle you off the pod now for you to get the care you need. Yorm, we love you. you're our brother. We're so glad you're okay. This is me being performative. Thank you. Okay. So you're cool with the performative stuff. Being performative. But I mean it. So it doesn't it counts. I just got a really good Instagram post ready. We're going to get so many likes. It's going to be so.

Oh, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Like we also talked about how like I wasn't really involved in this episode, right? Yeah. Oh, firelight. Yeah. So you may be timed it intentionally this way. I did. I did. Yeah. You were like, oh, should I climb the ladder? Well, I wasn't really involved. In the ambulance, I was like, oh, thank God. I was just checking text from Kevin. I mean, it does seem like, I mean, I feel like, I mean, obviously not Happy Gilmore amount of time, but like a hot rod too where Kevin falls off a ladder. Does feel like, certainly like act one. Kevin does seem like a character that would have like a rear window situation. You guys heard it here first.

Seth hated Happy Gilmore, too. What the hell? Dude He's them cliques, bro? Hey, just because Yorim's shirt doesn't mean we don't need them kicks. Oh my God, I'm so excited about this turn. Clicks, bro. He's the cliques guy.

A lot of people in the comments have realized that Andy is now just a full podcast guy. I love pods. I love press and I love pods. All right, we love you, Yoram. Love you, buddy. I love you, I love you too. I'll talk to you guys soon. All right, love you, Yombe.

All right, bye, dude. All right, bye guys. Seth, do we want to throw to commercial regroup and then firelight it? Let's throw to a commercial. And if you're wondering why it's just me, well, now you know. Now you know. Because you're a hero. Because you're a goddamn hero.

Support comes from Quince. As the night start to cool off, I've been leaning into making my bedroom extra cozy. And honestly, switching to Quince bedding was the best move I made this season. It just instantly makes the space feel more elevated and comfortable. Quince's linen sheets are the real deal. Light, breathable, and made from 100% European flack. They're relaxed, refined, and get softer with every single wash. I've also been loving their plush duvets, pillows, and quilts.

Whether you go for silky bamboo, organic cotton, or even a lux silk pillowcase, everything feels thoughtfully designed and premium without the luxury price tag. And, like their apparel, Quince's bedding delivers high-end materials at half the price of similar brands. By partnering directly with top factories using safe, ethical practices that cut out the middlemen so you get the best without the markup. Now, they asked me what I wanted and I said I need a new duvet cover and it's a nice white one and it is very nice. And it is, I would agree, cozy and elevated feeling at home. And yeah, their stuff seems real good. So I don't mind.

That's why, you know, I don't usually do the ads, but I was like, for Quince, put me in. Level up your betting this fall with Quince.

And then she'll say, well, where are all these shells from? And I'll say, your guess is as good as mine. Visit Wonderfulpastatios.com to learn more. All right, welcome back, everybody.

While Yoram was talking, you were texting me, Andy, about how, when are we going to talk about my movie that's coming out? I was not. And I was like, now it's not appropriate. Just wait. We'll do a commercial and we'll regroup. I never said that. I will say, I did text you while he was talking and said, he's not condensing it.

But that it's okay because he's clearly on a ton of painkillers. He's like, I'll, let me try and tell it in a way that condenses it. And I was like, oh, here we go. I thought he did fantastic for the record because Mari texted me right before he jumped on. He's very dizzy and out of it from... I couldn't, Keith. So he was actually very... It's Gallows humor, baby.

Yeah. I can't believe he came on at all. When he said he was going to, I was like, please don't. That's insanity. and then he was just a pure joy. Yeah, he had a smile on his face all time. But it is funny to rip on a guy who just had surgery and is on major painkillers for not keeping it brief.

Yeah. Only when that person is yorm. Of course. It was, I was referring to the fact that you have a movie, Roses coming out, Andy and I'm very excited to see it. Yeah. And it was, it did sort of extend the tale of Frisbee Press. It did, it is.

And Roses, by the time people hear this, is out. Great. Yeah. Yeah, I got to talk a lot more about Fris, which was nice. Yeah, we were saying, Andy did Digman Press right into Rose's Press. So he's just out there a lot right now. Yeah, feeling a little exposed, frankly. Do you feel like the questions have gotten a little bit better?

And I'm just saying that because, look, there was some, like, TikToky video stuff where, like, Kate was asking you questions, our friend Kate McKinnon. Yeah. And they were good questions, and it was actually good content. And I know we give it. Like, we bust on, like, press tour stuff all the time. But I felt like there was some fun stuff. I think people have gotten better.

I mean, getting to do it all with Kate and then a tiny bit with Benedict and Olivia was wonderful. It's what you want. You can do things that are actually hypothetically funny and fun. Yeah. Andy, for people that don't follow what movies are coming out, will you give me the 30-second? Tell me who's in this movie and how big your part is? The Roses? Yeah.

The Roses is Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Coleman are starring in it. Me and Kate McKinnon play their friends. We play a married couple. And it's written by Tony McNamara who wrote Poor Things and The Favorite and created the show The Great. And it's directed by Jay Roach, who you probably have heard of because he directed all the Austin Powers and Meet the Parents movies. And it was an absolute treat to make. And I really like it. And it's out.

Check it out. And it's why you were in Foggy London Town. That is why I was in Foggy London shooting. Yeah, when I was in Foggy London Town. It's because I was there shooting this. I also want to shout out because I was texting Andy about him today. Jamie Demetri is in the movie. Oh, yeah, Jamie's the best.

Super funny British actors and a great show, which I think is on whatever they call HBO streaming platform now. Stathlet's Flats. Stathletts. Yeah, which is an A-plus show. He also has a really funny comedy special, which I think is on Netflix. Yes, that's great. And, yeah, so I'm very excited. And you were in New York, but it was heartbreaking because I wasn't.

And we were very upset to not. I did end up getting dinner with Shoemaker and some other buds, which was great. And Seth, you helped me get a res. And then you paid for dinner even though you weren't there. Whoa, from afar? Yeah. Did they now, did they say who paid for it when they brought it over? Oh, yeah.

Okay. You want to tell everybody? Oh, they didn't say. I asked them to say that Frisbee bought dinner. Oh, they did not say that. Oh, they blew the bread. They blew the bed. That was, I did want them to bank a big show.

But again, like, I'd already had to, like, completely bend the knee to get a reservation at that point. I'm not going to say where we ate, but I will say we ate a burger, prime rib, and a French dip. Yeah. You figured out. Pretty sure anyone in the New York area can figure that out pretty quickly. Yeah. It was so good. And thank you, buddy. Even though they blew the bit, it was such a nice night. I mean, the act was more important than the bit. It would have been great if I was like, oh my God, thanks for the res. Oh, my God. Also, I want to pay. Also, can you wear these little ears? And this little, and can you're, the rest of the staff make ghost noises.

But by the way, I mean, not to rewind, but the whole time we were there, we're just thinking about the fact that Yorm is like going through surgery. Yeah, yeah. And like, we were there, you know, the other folks we were there with Jake Samansky, Brandon Trost, are both friends of Yorms also, and we were all like, toasting

to Yorm and being like, I hope he's fucking okay. And the whole press days, it was all happening in the background, and it was so fucking stressful and scary. So we're just so, so happy, is all right. Yeah. Yeah, today's Definitely the first day, last night and today, where it feels at all safe in any way. By the way, if it was me, it would be another month before I would acknowledge anything else on planet Earth.

Yorm's just so bounce-back Teflon guy and wants to be social. Yeah. He just is out there. Man of the people. If an optimistic outlook is important for this kind of recovery, I mean, he is the best of us. Yeah. You know, for that. Of the four of us, I'd say he would definitely take falling and breaking his pelvis the best.

Yeah, definitely. Definitely, definitely. So back to New York, a lot of Quaid Armies hurled at me out there. It's a real Quaid Army city, and again, you're amongst the people again. It felt real nice. So anyone who hit me with the Quaid Army, I appreciate it, made me look real cool in front of my peers. Humberbatch is your peer? Well, um, comedically. What about on the payroll side? I guess it depends on the project. We're talking like Dr. Strange or anything else? The roses.

All of them know. Okay, good. Great. I have a clip. This is a really short clip. It's Arnold. That's why I think. And just see if you can guess what movie this is.

If either of you can guess, I don't know what you'll get. Joseph P. Brenner. What's a piece stand? Pussy. Excuse me? I'm sorry. What was that? The music dropping and the scene moving on.

Yeah. And the guy just rolling with it. He was fine with it. And he's all urine. Yeah, see around He gets from a point that You're approved What is the context?

And then he just walked away And those violins, those big, all the string section, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun He nailed it. What movie is it? The movie is called Raw Deal. Oh, I remember Raw Deal.

Early Arnold. Yeah, with the slick back here. I don't remember the context or what has happened in the movie. I was going through, I tried right before I got on here. I had 10 extra minutes and I was like, I'm going to find,

I wanted to find the dog farting that we talked about from Dirty Harry to present it to you guys. Yeah, yeah. And I didn't find that, but I found this random one that I... I want to believe that was an Arnold improv on the spot. It's hard, though. It's all set up. But no, what if it was like...

Maybe they had another piece. He's like, pay box a bitch. Right. And then he's like, could I do one for me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like, I think pussy's pretty good. The smirk on his face, he liked it. It would probably use that one.

And the guy's just like, oh, right. Yeah. They didn't tell him, and that guy rolled with it, great. They're in the edit. He walks away. Wow, I don't remember that. Dude, that was all Arnold. Yeah.

I mean, it doesn't make sense, but it's fun, right? Yeah, people will remember it. Oh, okay. Jeff's saying he just found a YouTube clip of the dog farting. Are you guys curious to see it? Yeah. Oh, man. You know, I've never seen a dog fart before, so let's check this out.

Oh, you seem to be all right. I'm fine, but you better get it together. Quiet. The clip should have gone another shot, I think. He tells the dog to be quiet. It turns around. Exposing its anus to camera and then lays a fake fart. Big old dog dick, too.

Thanks for mentioning that. I think Clint Eastwood has one other line. Or a look after that. There's no way they... It doesn't cut to the next scene. It's good that you mentioned it, Seth, because we were all thinking it. That's Sandra, that's Sandra Locke, the actress, and they were a long-term couple, Clint and her. Oh, yeah, so...

It's from sudden impact, which I think is the fifth one? Yeah, when they're just like... I'm willing to wager that that fart wasn't in the script, also. I'm going to guess they had footage of the dog. It wouldn't face forward. It kept turning away from camera, and the editor was like, you know what? I'm just going to roll with it. Yeah, they actually famously had one of the editors from Tim and Eric Awesome show.

Good job. And, yeah, and they would just find the comedy at a... Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was one edit of it where the dog farted like 17 times in a row in succession, the same clue. Every time they said, quiet, they used every take of them saying quiet. So they went, quiet, fart, quiet, fart, quiet. And the dog went, spigit! Fuck.

Andy, real quick, did you see a lot of... Did you see Vulture top 14 tennis scenes in movie history? No. All right. Would you be surprised to know Seven Days in Hell made the list? I would certainly hope it did. How many tennis movies? Yeah, okay.

How many tennis things are there even? Well, congratulations, Seven Days in Hell, which is a real reminder to me when, like, you know, because I have a lot of friends with kids now who like your work. Right. And they like that the podcast is pointing sort of Brooklyn Nine Nine fans towards the digital shorts. Right. I'm excited to say, oh, well, guess what? Your next class is seven days in hell.

Yeah, except it's not for kids. Well, that's what I mean. I feel like once they get through the shorts, it's like, you know what I mean? Like Brooklyn Nine-N-N-Kids who then do, you know, they get through jizz in my pants and whatnot. And then it's like, now it's like, now it's like, now it's like, now it's just a full-on, yeah, dirt fest. It's HBO all day. What number do we land? 11.

So seven landed at all. 11 out of 14. Yeah, that's correct. Now, did they not put challengers first just because it's too recent and they didn't want to have a recency bias? And so they thought they had to bury it. 100%. Literally what they said in the entry was the only thing that's keeping this is number one is

we think everybody will blame us for recency bias. But it's very clearly. It should be number one. It should be number one. What was number one? Blowout, that Antonini movie that... Boo! Fuck Antonini!

No, blowout's great. It seems like an Arty Tennessee. of like mimes playing tennis. Like miming tennis. And then is it the, what was it, Paul Bettney and Dunst movie? That made it. That beat Sandberg.

That's Wimbledon. You beat Annie Hall. That's insane. That's insane that they beat us, though. Wimbledon beat seven days in hell. Go to hell. Oh, Annie Hall, but that's just like a scene, isn't it? Yeah, they give it Annie Hall and what's his other tennis movie? Match point.

Yeah, that, they put those, like, 12 and 13. Annie Halls, they're like playing in those indoor courts, right? Yeah. And then kind of the same in Squidman. the whale. Was that also on there? Squint the whale, very high. Maybe three. Rushmore. Oh, yeah, when he has the meltdown on, it's so good.

Isn't that tenon bombs? Oh, ten bombs, you're right. Yeah, sorry. Thank you. We're right. I blame Seth. Battle of the sexes. Yeah.

Oh, sure. Emstone. Yep. It's going to be good tennis movies and some fun times. That's fun. Yeah. You know what I say is tennis is like a relationship. Oh.

In what way? Well, this is a new take. Keep going. We want to hear more about this. Yeah. Just like the conversation between you and your opponent, the mind games and the back and forth. You know, the back and forth.

Yeah, exactly. It's a conversation. It's a relationship. Keep your angles covered, that sort of thing. Every time me and Andy play at the end, I jump over the net, and I kind of spread eagle my arms and legs, and I land in his arms, and he catches me. But he knows it's coming, so he's, like, got his center of gravity, right? He throws his racket to the side, and he, and we hug it out.

Keeve, did you know that Seth has another version of that? What's up? Seth says tennis is like a relationship, because one, Once you score, there's no more love. Oh, damn. That's really good. I mean, I know I say it, but it still makes me make that noise when I hear it. I'm just so proud of myself for coming up with it.

Kind of disgust. That's your personality, dude. I don't know what to tell you. I love it. That it has always been and still is and always will be your personality. Hey, this is Andy. I'm interrupting the pod wherever is deemed fit. No one asked me if I got Queen Bee on the pod when we recorded, and I did.

So I just wanted to make sure that that was covered. I'm not sure. I'd leave it to our crew and our whole team to drop it in wherever they think is appropriate. But, yeah, I quibbied. Thanks for nothing, everybody. You're off the hook, obviously, for this one. The Twilight movies were giant movies. Taylor Swift was and is now even a bigger star.

And yet we're, once again, just not racing into the short. No, we're not. Keeve, do you want to congratulate Taylor and Kelsey and get some clicks? Oh, on the engagement. Well, people have been, next to the Frisbee passing away, people were like, I wonder what the take's going to be from this pod. Yeah. And it's just a hearty congratulations.

Yeah. Seth, you want to congratulate them? Maybe double down on our odds of some clicks. I mean, a hearty congratulations, indeed, for me as well. I almost feel, you know, and again, I know the two are not connected, but was Frisbee's death in some way, sort of a cosmic tipping point for their love to bloom? See, now we're crossing some click streams. Yeah, a little bit of click world

That I'm on a little credit Crossing that click page Yeah, well you heard it here first Seth thinks Frisbee's death was the reason That Taylor and Travis got engaged Cosmically, I don't think like they heard about it I just think those who pulled the strings in the cosmos Oh, I see.

Yeah, energy is finite. Yin Yang wise without the zero-sum game It moves around in mysterious ways Yeah, Frisbee's positive energy returning to the void was then available for the, for the Kelsey Swift's. That's, okay. Airtight. Airtight.

And that's, I think, a perfect segue into this week's short, Firelight, that Seth wrote. This is another Seth Akiva collabo. We did. There's only a few in the whole course of the thing. We had the Payton Manning United Way. Yeah. Am I forgetting, maybe me helping on one of those monologues or something? Yeah.

This, I will say, I remember. the beginning of this, which is really fun. I was a little disappointed in my failure to find a fun second or third beat because the air comes out of it, because it's really just kind of beat for beat, the actual Twilight trailer.

I haven't re-watched it. Do I need to? Well, let's watch it. Here's another question. Do we need a Seth's corner if you're the architect of the short? No, we do not. I've talked about this a lot with our producers.

Oh, great. Yeah. I was begging for it, and They shut me down. You were mulling this all week. They're like, bro, you're the main event, brother. Yeah. But did Payne Manning from the United Way have the SNL Digital Short logo? Yeah.

Okay. And thank God. Yeah. Because otherwise, it was just fucking lobster claw. I had to do something to get myself out of that fucking jackpot I put myself in. But here's the thing. Taylor Swift's really good. Her Christmas tour is really good.

She kind of keeps biting her lip in a way that's really fun. Hate her. Great Frankenstein makeup across the board. Andy, you're in it twice. Oh. Any guesses as to... Two different characters, you mean? Yeah.

Oh, it's exciting. One's going to be the Taylor-Lotner role, maybe? Yeah, but what's he? Because remember Taylor-Lotner in the movie is a werewolf, so what's Andy in this? Oh. A dog? No. A mummy?

A mummy, yeah. And your name is Lomax, which is just such a fucking funny thing to just give you your name of a character you tried to get on that you couldn't. Yeah, you have to be like, here's your Lomax. You're like, but he's a mummy now. Like, that's not Lomax. Max, though. All right, so I'm watching it today, Keeve, and we're going to watch it together. I'm watching it today, and I'm just kind of, like, disappointed at, like, Andy is,

Andy shows up as a mummy, and, like, I know that's because, oh, Taylor Lottner was a werewolf, so in a Frankenstein movie, Andy would be a mummy. But then, like, I don't come up with anything funny for Andy to do, even just, like, he, we should have him walking. You know what I mean? Like, there's no, I just feel like. It's just the ideas on parade of, like, what if Twilight was, instead of this, it was this so what are the other monsters then none of the fun of like and then because it wasn't like

somebody was saying like but don't do any comedy on top of it yeah yeah so this is just a little soft it's a little soft and yoram yeah again as we said picked a great week to not be on the pod because i can't i have no memory of what he was doing he was probably writing something i said no because i see i don't i'm looking through the rundown i don't see what i don't see what he was up to again saying picked is pretty loaded but yeah we'll get to this we'll get to this but bunny business but bunny wouldn't exist without firelight because this opened up the space for bunny business. That's my point. And that's what I'm kind of getting at is that you have Taylor Swift, massive, Twilight, massive.

You got Keeve at the helm, looks great. And yet I don't think about it at all. And I think about bunny business all the time. I think about bunny business all the time. I watch them both back to back today. Yeah. Bunny business is so rad. Well, thanks. I love money business.

And we went on to do horse sense and one other one even, I think. Was it horse sense? It wasn't like horse play or something? Horse play. I mean, what does horse sense mean? No, you can have a horse sense about something. Isn't that a phrase? Hors sense is a thing. Yeah. Okay.

It's a thing. It's just not what we chose, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We chose horse play because it was horses playing baseball. Oh, right, right. Yeah, it's a colloquial phrase from the late 1800s that's still used fairly often today, horse sense. I think I had it on my mind because there's a movie called HorsSense. Sound practical judgment. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't know. I feel like it wasn't Horsense. I mean, bunny business right away, people know what that movie's going to be. Horse Sense. Disney. Okay. That one's probably interesting because it's probably about horses and it's kind of a play on words.

Let's just say I've seen it and it wasn't my choice. Oh, you've seen it. Oh, right. There's a lot of horses in your house. Yeah. My daughter likes movies with horses in them. So I saw a later career, Joey Lawrence, tearing it up. Wow.

What was his horse movie? Horse sense, bro. God damn it, Seth. It's like, you fucking hate my guts, dude. That was Joey Lawrence in the picture you just showed us? Yeah, I mean, they were in profile, and he was a lot older. I thought it was a young Sam Neal for what it's worth. I'm sure both of them would be flattered to hear that.

Yeah, why not? I mean, look, Joey Lawrence, I think you lost track of after Blossom. Yeah, totally. But not me. What did he say when he wanted the horse to slow down? Oh, man. Whoa. Oh, man.

Thank you. I mean, I just had to. It was hard for me. I was like, I got to get out of the way of this one because this is like watching magic at work. Oh, you mean do one of my main best impressions? Yeah. Let's just say me and Keeve hook each other up.

Do you think that's why they cast him? No joke. They were like, what is the character saying when he's teaching horsing? It's like... You can't even see his mouth. He's just like a wide shot of a stunt guy on a horse going, whoa, whoa.

Do you think a producer was like reading it? Like, you know, spouse in bed next to the producer. They're just like reading the script. and they see that, like, woe is in it a lot? And then the next morning, they're like, is this crazy? Yeah, you know. Is this the craziest idea?

For those that don't know the sitcom Blossom from the 80s or 90s, Joey Lawrence was the heartthrob kind of guy on it. Yeah. And he played the kind of dumb guy, and his catchphrase was, whoa. Right. And then Blossom's catchphrase was, I'm going to host Jeopardy, remember? I do remember saying that, yeah.

She kept in that. She kept being like, I have his theory about how the universe was created. There was like this interview this, somebody posted recently, and it was Sam Neal and Jeff Goldblum were getting interviewed together talking about Jurassic Park. And Sam Neal's like, I remember we had the premiere was in England, and I sat next to Princess Diana, and my son was on the other side of me, and the whole movie, he was just ripping, like, the foulest farts. And I was just, like, watching the movie, like, devastated that this was, this was what. what she was smelling and that she would think it was me. And then it's like this really long story and at the end and it's that great thing when you read an interview

and somebody, like it's like a whole paragraph and then the other person just has one line and it's Goldblum's like, and I'm just so impressed that all these years later, Sam's still trying to pin it on his kid. It's really good. Perfect. Two dudes that are good times.

All right, so I'd like to talk more about money business than Firelight, but again. It's fine. It's fine. Can I pitch something? What? Can I pitch something? Yeah.

Let's go into Firelight and then maybe Andy's Corner. Great. Love it. Good. We'll switch them ups. All right. I'm going to play this. Who's that?

Who's that? Who? Him? No. Them. Those are the Franks. They don't hang out with anyone else. You were also a fake-out Edward Cullen.

Yeah. It does look better than I was expecting right off the bat. It looks great. And we're cutting in footage from the actual trailer, which was a fun of it. Yeah, those, the drone shots. Wait, Keeve, you didn't get the helicopter shot of the forest? You fucking cop-out, artist, guy. But even this, I'm impressed with how, because I was just doing stupid color correction

using rudimentary tools. I'm impressed that I even was able to get it this close. and we're just in the NBC commissary. Right. Good, good, get to focus. He's cute. That's Philip. Don't bother.

We'll see him. Don't bother. Stella, please sit with Philip. Wait, wait, wait. Was that a plate, or did you build that set? I think we built the set this time. It looks identical to the movie. It's amazing.

It's really amazing how good it looks. And as we talked about for the movie awards episode, how bizarre it is that we are recreating this scene a second time. Yeah. I mean, I wasn't. You guys were, but yeah. Well, we recreated the other half of it because in the movie awards,

the Troy Miller one was using footage from the movie for this angle that we're staring at right now. And then it was a reverse angle we fake. Right. Just like in terms of like timeline. I did it before Seth. But okay. Oh, I see.

I see. Yeah. Let's just keep going because now that that's settled and no one could disagree. That's just the truth. Hey Hey But it is shooting that direction

In the scene again With Taylor again But now playing a different part Yeah Correct Yeah All right sorry Everybody knows

It's just Twilight Mania We were all there It just It is odd Okay everyone Turn on your Buntin burners Yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

first minute of the sketch. Now, I don't know if I was worried because I think Phil Hartman's Frankenstein is one of the funniest SNL sketches of all time. Quite good. That going back to the fire well too many times would be infringing on that. But clearly that's the move. There's no more fire in the course of this whole thing. No, and that is a legit laugh. And Bill obviously great at playing that. It's great. And it's because it takes you out of like the way they act in Twilight. The moody, the moody over dramatic sexiness. And so I'm just so disappointing watching it again. And also, like, I got Andy shows up as a mummy, and, like, there's no, like, that's clearly a moment. Oh, let's see it.

I, well, yeah. I know what you are. Your skin is green. You have bolts in your neck. You freak out or on fire. Say it out loud. Frankenstein. Yeah, they know.

It's not a joke. Why won't you kiss me? Because when I kiss people, I tend to accidentally choke down to death. I want you to try. I like that we use the footage of him climbing her up a tree and just put them up at the top of a tree. You're like, what the fuck is happening here? Yeah, I know.

They're zooming up a tree. So, last two beats, we're just doing stuff from the movie too much, right? Yeah, there's no, and again, like, and it's not going to get better. What's wrong? We found an old blind man strangled to death. Looks like it was an accident. Strangled by accident. Hey.

Hey, Lomax. All so good. So you're hanging with Philip Frank now? What do you have against the Franks? Just be careful. Now, I watch that. Like, she closes the locker. You're a mummy.

Literally today I'm watching it. And I'm like, you say just be careful, which is, again, not a joke. And then it just cuts. Like, why didn't you then walk away and we see that you accidentally got one of your things caught in her locker? And you just start...

In her locker, yeah. And you just start unraveling. And you're like, shit, shit, shit, shit. Like, anything. Anything to do the... Like the rest of this... The joke is the breaking of the tension that is so overwrought.

Yes, the joke is not that we, like, are doing Frankenstein for vampire. She could have just been like, oh, your bandages just smell like shit. Anything would have worked. Yeah. Careful. I do believe I'm going to strangle someone by accident. I mean, that's not bad. And I mean, but it is relying on...

The repetition of accidentally strangle someone's funny. It's fine. It's just relying on the fact that everyone has seen the movie so it's a little cheap. Yes. Because you're just being like, remember this part of the movie? What if it was this part now? You are my life now. You're choking me.

Sorry. It's next then. Okay. I would love another shot at it. That's what I'm going to say. Were you on set, Seth, when you were you doing? No, no. Because actually, that's my fondest.

I don't have anything to get those clicks. But that's my fond memory of it, actually, is that because we're really in a forest. I have no clue where it was because I just got into the car. And they're like, yeah, there's a forest. And they put a hood on your head. When you go to As-N-L-shoots, they do put a hood on your head. They always put the kidnap food on. And then you're magically at a forest.

But that was exciting alone, just to be, you're stuck in Manhattan all the time. And all of a sudden, we were just in a real forest with a steady cam. And my dad was visiting randomly and had nothing to do because it was just him visiting alone. And so he just came. So I have these really fond memories of being in a forest. And then Taylor, you know, she brings her mom almost everywhere. Right. So her mom and my dad.

You never have parents, clicks, cliques. They straight up made out. But you never have parents on set ever. And then we had two parents just like having craft eating some sandwiches and like sitting in chairs and we would both go back and be like, how you doing, dad? How you doing, mom? Need anything? Okay. And it was very adorable having parents on set, not just one but two. Taylor already, obviously, I keep saying this, already a huge deal, nowhere near as stratospheric as she is now. and was over the course of that week I wasn't on that set was such a delight to be around

and such a pro agreed we had a lot of fun and then before Bunny Business do you want to talk about the monologue thing because I remember that's my only other memory I've talked about it I feel like I've talked about it on so many podcasts so to be a brief because I was there I was in that room

when she came in. Oh yeah so you can speak to this because I'm glad somebody is there to sort of support my memory of it which is she came in and said I wrote a monologue song. Or she told me, I wrote a song for the monologue. And I said, great. And she said, can I play it for you guys? And I remember, I've always felt my true nightmare in life is to be in a room where somebody

close to me is playing guitar and singing a song while looking at me. Literally. Also, when it's the host that you have to keep in a really good mood. So the last thing you want to be is like, sorry, your song isn't good enough. We're going to write something else. So you're just dreading like, oh, my God, how are we going to get out of this? Shame on me, right? Like, I'm already jumping ahead to when the song's over

and me being like, yeah, I mean, I think we'll do that and then maybe we'll work on something like just already building. You've been working at the show a while, though, not shame on you. Like, you encounter every version of this at some point when you work there. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it's not. I just underestimated, which would not be a mistake I would ever make again with her incredible acumen as a songwriter and knowing exactly what the assignment was

in writing a perfect song for. the occasion. Yeah. Now you would have no doubts. You would just know. But she was like 20. And I was in there being like, oh, I'm so glad I'll get to be the one being like, I don't know why they're not using it.

It's so good. I have no responsibility. I do remember in front of her, she sang the song, and I went over to the phone, and I called the writers who were working on the monologue. And I was like, she just ate your fucking lunch. There we go. Whatever you do. Pends down, everyone.

Throw it pencils down. So you've told this story too much, but just the really fast reason is she came in, she played the song for us, and it is literally what the monologue is, like zero changes. We just sat there, and it was an entire song that was her opening monologue. We were like, OK-dokey, that's it. I really do believe Lauren was like, yep, that's it. Yeah. I think it was just me, you, Lauren, and Higgins.

Yeah. I like glitter and sparkly dresses, but I'm not going to talk about that. In my monologue, I like baking and things that smell like winter, but I'm not going to talk about that. In my monologue, la, la, la, la. I like writing songs about douchebags who cheat on me, but I'm not going to say that. In my monologue, I like writing their names into songs, so they're ashamed to go in public, but I'm not going to say that. She was, received the news very kindly and had to run, like, I think she had to, again, then go run down and rehearse something else. And, yeah, the four of us all sat there and were like, were it always so easy. Yeah, Lauren didn't have to be like, well, we'll consider it.

Yeah. And we'll keep our writers working on other ideas just in case. But truly never happens. No. Never happens. Yeah, because, again, Keith said it. It was like, page the car. It was like that joke we always make of, like, take it to cards.

It really was. Like, you know, yeah, straight to cards. Great. Just have Wally start writing it up. And when Wally heard it, did he just fucking bust one in his jeans? He was. He was so happy. Get a voice known from Wally about how he felt when he heard that.

Guys, I was like, Gag, Gag, gooey. It makes a big difference to him when he's writing stuff on Q cards, how many rewrites it had beforehand. He's always like, just had eight rewrites? Oh, geez. Oh, that means another one's coming. I do not approve. Oh, I'm sure that's, but that'll be the last one. Support comes from Viori.

All right, guys, it's Akiva here. I've talked about this before, but the one thing that I get requests for discount codes more than our discount code that we give, like do I get free stuff, is from people in my life asking for Viori. And these are repeat customers who already own some Viori and are like, oh, sweet, can I get more to Viori at a cheap price? And so I think that they're wanting of this one is the best endorsement I can give, because I'll be honest. They offered me some, and I haven't chosen what I want yet, because I wanted to ask around, see what the things are that people like. Here's some stuff people have said to me. Sunday performance joggers are awesome. They wick moisture, and the fabric is so comfortable. They have five functional pockets, three with zippers, to keep things safe. Here's something else. They wanted the beach fleece crew, and they said that it's the best fleece to wear when the weather gets cooler, and that it's made from recycled fabrics, 71 percent, I believe.

Here's what somebody else said. I said, what should I get from Viori? And they said, the tech polo is the softest polo I've ever worn. They said it fits incredibly well. And that it's odor resistant, which if you knew my friend who told me about this, is really key. And moisture wicking, that's for the sweat. And you can dress it up or down.

It's a polo that you can wear anywhere. For our listeners, they're offering 20% off your first purchase. Go to Viori.com slash island. That's V-U-O-R-I.com slash island.

That's NordVPN.com slash Lonely Island. Right, you're? Oh, yeah, darling. All right, bunny business. You have an Andy and Andy Corner's song? Oh, yeah, Andy Corny. Andy's Corner, let's get excited. It's a corner that we're rarely in because Andy's always doing digital shorts.

But this week he wasn't so. we had a time to work with Klein. Finally! It happened to you! I just searched Bunny Business and horse plays right underneath it. Horseplay? Oh, that's definitely as common as horse sense. Hit us in the tithis, everybody, because I think it is.

Kick us in the dickest, if you think it isn't. Hit us in the tinnis. You think it is. Well, all right. So, first of all, this is the first one of what will become a triptych, correct, Andy? I want to say, yeah. Well, what's the third? At least two.

Horses playing baseball, and then there's a dog one? We'll get there. There's a courtroom one maybe, or is this that one? No, there's a courtroom. This is not it. This is bunny business. These are bunnies are in an office. Yeah, yeah, they're in pantsuits and they're in an office.

So it's a little bit, I mean, every song in this, it's a commercial for an album for an animated film. It's a commercial for the soundtrack. But, you know, this was a moment in time where there were a lot of, like, commission. soundtracks where a lot of original songs were written for a soundtrack for a movie. Yes. Like F1. Sure. You didn't like the F1 soundtrack, Andy?

It was basically like six different steps of backing into me wanting to sing like Robert Smith for like 15 seconds. Right. Well, let's think about it because this one is Adam Duritz. Sorry, so not this one. Then Robert Smith and then was there, who was the third one you did? Boy, George? No. No. There was one of them where I was doing Morrissey at Dress, and then we switched it between dress and air,

and I can't remember which one it was. Right. What do you call this format, Beth, where everyone in the cast gets the shine and... I call it an impression parade, Keith. Oh, yeah, an impression parade. It's an impression parade. It's really great because each of the songs,

we're only hearing clips from songs. Most any of them are is like four lines. I think maybe Taylor gets a little bit longer for hers. And then also we know their songs about... Uh, doggy duty was the third one. Dogs, dogs in court room. Which is a very funny pun. Like Jersey.

And, uh, you keep saying that the bunnies are wearing pantsuits and there's multiple references to the fact that they're sending faxes. Should we watch it? Yeah. I got it ready. All right. Let me load it up. And then we're going to listen to the F1 soundtrack. Start to finish.

Start to finish. This fall, there's only one movie that has kids hopping for joy. Bunny Business, the story of a couple of bunnies with a lot of ambition. And before you see the movie, by The Soundtrack, featuring an original song by Randy Newman. Okay, let's stop. So the graphics don't look like an animated film. No. But we'd have to look at the original script.

They look so shitty. We wrote the sketch Tuesday night. It was red on Wednesday. It wasn't picked until Wednesday night, late. Yeah. So this was what, at this moment in human history, at SNL, this is what came back. And I believe when we met with everyone on it, we were like, yeah, we wanted to look like a real animated feature that's coming out. And I don't blame anyone involved.

They did great for the time constraint and for the technology available. But looking at it now, it's so funny to be like, yeah, this is a major motion picture. Now, the other thing, though, is when you said, said that to them, like, we're like, we wanted to look like a real, like, sort of, you know, DreamWorks animated movie. Did they look at you like, well, that's not going to happen? Yes, definitely. We were told, like, we don't do that. And by the way, it's, I would actually argue that it's funnier to watch now how shitty it looks. If it looked good, it would not make it any funnier. And the fact that it looks bad does make it funnier. Correct. And in fact, now it probably would look really, really good. And you'd almost be like, I want it to look less good. Starting right at Randy Newman. So you're going right at Toy Story at this moment.

Yeah, Toy Story Randy Newman. That was sort of, you know... And we did know Fred could do Randy Newman. Featuring an original song by Randy Newman. Bunny wearing suits. Bunny sending facts. That's very... Tiny bunny briefcase.

Bunny business. These bunnies... By the way, let me just say once again. Exceptually good. And the fact that you and Klein appreciated, there was no, it was not going to get more fun than four lines. Oh, yeah, just get the impression laugh and get out. Yeah.

Yes. I mean, the Randy Newman one, we were like, we have to start with it because we knew Fred could do it so well. Randy Newman is a very good friend of Lauren. So writer of three amigos. Yeah. Exactly. And, like, for example, I'd forgotten this, Keeve.

Randy Newman, as a favorite of Lorne, came to the Hot Rod premiere. Oh, yeah. You know how fucking mind-blowing that is? Randy Newman's one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time. And that's just the S&L sphere stuff. Where Lauren's like, Randy, we're having a movie. And he's like, all right, Lauren. He's like, holy shit.

Anyway, worth noting. These bunnies have a nose for business and a tale for the ages. And now you can own the soundtrack, featuring a brand new song by Natalie Merchant. These are bunnies. The 401Ks, yeah. Never before had bunnies worked in our friends. It's really perfect. It really sounds a lot like her.

I wish I had just read flatly before we played it. That's those kind of lyrics. It's almost anti-comedy because it's like purposefully flat. Like flat. Yeah. That's the thing, though. But it's not anti-comedy because it's, I think. think that to overwork how little real estate you have would have made it tortured, right?

Like, there was just no space. And by the way, I guarantee you that we wrote a version where the songs were longer and realized that this was better. Yeah. I mean, we're just weird-owling it, except for not in a clever way on purpose. Right. But here is the flat read of what you handed Kristen Wig. These are bunnies with 401Ks.

Never before have bunnies worked in an office. Yeah. But when sung like Natalie Merchant, these are the day. I mean, by the way, track's great. It was so much fun. Yeah, it's a great song. And we all know it, and we all know the rhythm and the music of it. Yeah.

And Wiggs, it's an exceptionally good impression. And when you put all those things together, me and Rob are geniuses. Yeah. Excited for our next one here. Bunny Business features over 30 original songs from some of the world's most successful singers, including Shakira. So many bunnies on the floor. Hopping and be shaking their bunny kits Is a she-bony and all of us

Oh Jump on a dance floor Don't be shy Wear pants, so tense and the facts Funny girls hop on your bunny boys Oh I mean Sounds a lot

A lot like What's that? Sounds a lot like Oh yeah Shakira Yeah She's doing the wolf one It's nuts

And also I don't know if you remember not who you would probably jump to for her. And I'm guessing that she said, I have a Shakira. I think we probably asked, and she said a few things that she thought she had a version on, yeah, and she said, Shakira, we loved it. But that was so fun because it's so far, it's the most far field from her that you could have, whereas I'm sure she, at the time where I think people thought of her more as country. Yeah. Like there would have been so many classic country choices to make, and it was just such a blast to see her do Shakira. Yeah.

Let me just do a dry read on one of the lines you gave Taylor's. Moved. Wear pantsuits and send a fax. I just sing that like Shakira. It's just, it's elegant lyrics. Wait, I'm gonna, Andy, don't, don't say until I read the lyrics who you think this is doing an impression of who. Ready? Yeah. Bunny business song, shal la la la, bunnies and pantsuits, Mr. Jones. Yeah, that's gonna be me.

I forgot that you just put Mr. Jones at the end of it. Well, yeah. And Mr. Jones, fellow Bay Area guy, I think, right? Yeah. When you hear the words animated bunnies, you immediately think of Adam Durrit's from the counting crows. Bunny business song. Chala la la la la bunnies and pantsuits. And Mr. Jones.

Yeah, threw up a deuce. Not bad. And nice to, you did a fantastic job, and you wrote the whole thing with Klein and buried yourself deep within. And that's being a team player, too. Yeah, serving the show. Yeah, yeah, serving the show, just trying to get in there. Little kids like bunnies, but they love Eddie Vedder and Christina Aguilera. That one didn't even mention bunny business, but who cares?

The fact is they don't duck Bill down. When they cut to the next section of it, he's still screaming in the background of the trailer. Also, the name of the song they're singing. Did you see that? No. The bunny merger went through. Also, Bill does his... That's got to be climbing.

His Eddie Vedder face is like, feels like it shouldn't be able to... Oh, it's like he has prosthetics. But he does. He's just like that thing that hater's face is such a... He's fracking his cheeks up and just holding them there. It's amazing. It's really, truly amazing. A full freak of nache.

And by the way, Abby, with pipes on her, I didn't even know about. Yeah, no, Abby's got pipes. I knew from balcony songs, but that's kind of behind the scenes. Oh, my God, I should have remembered. I probably did, and that's why I was like Aguilera all day. It's abs. It's abs. It's eggs.

Abs for eggs. So the title... of the next one, it's Keenan as Jennifer Hudson, right? That's the next one. Oh, yeah. And I just, I think about the title, I feel like more than I should, because the title of the song is, and I am telling you, you are a bunny. And it's so clumsy.

You are a bunny. Just completely missing everything. Here. We never even finished the movie. We were too busy and joined this Instant Classic by Jennifer Hudson. No, no, no, no way No, no, no way They're not wearing pantsuits

It's a whole big mess A funky funny business And you, and you, and you You're gonna pay me Oh, boy, this soundtrack You're gonna pay me money The Bunny Business soundtrack. Even if you buy it, our careers are old.

Yeah. Trifle. Can't front on the funk. So much fun. As Seth says. Hey, it's Andy again, interjecting here. First off, I got Queen Bee again two days later after we recorded. But more importantly, during our recording,

I had asked Rob Klein to send a voice note about Bunny Business, and he wasn't able to do that at the time, but he did send one in late. So here's that. There won't be any reactions to it, obviously. Okay. Hi. What's up? This is Rob Klein with a late voice message about bunny business. I do remember that we had kind of pictured there being sort of these Pixar style animations in between the interstitials and then realizing that it would take like two years and $50 million to make those. So one member of the graphics team kind of like heroically stayed awake for like 72 straight hours just to even give us the graphics that we had, which turned out great and we appreciated.

And I also remember, I don't know what you guys said, except that it was well respected and treated with respect and dignity. Another thing I remember was sitting under the bleachers with Lauren and it started. And then the first one is Randy Newman.

Fred is Randy Newman. Obviously, Randy Newman is one of Lauren's friends. I don't know how much we had like thought about that or processed that, but it started. Fred got a laugh because it's Fred. And then Lauren just kind of looked at me, Bradley and is like, that's one of my best friends. And we were parodying him. Why? Because he had like written a sweet song for Toy Story that people loved and was of a piece with his entire

body of work. I don't exactly know. It's hard to, it's hard to retrace some of the thinking. But, but it was done lovingly, obviously. So there you go. Yeah. And it went so just fine that we did two more. I'm excited to get to him, though, because I, you're Robert Smith. That's still Pinnacle Sandberg for me. You're a nice man. I like how, like, the words you say and the way your face looks as you say them. So cut after a dress, we have a potato chip. Yeah, but I feel like we talk about it when we go to Blake lively. Yeah, but interesting. And Taylor Swift wanted to do it. She was fighting for it. Really? When we do potato chip, let's dig up the dress. Yeah. Hey, Marine World Africa, we talked about it,

was originally in Redwood City, then moved to Vallejo. Yeah, Vallejo. Redwood City, that's much closer. It then changed a six flags Marine World, and it now is Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Still there. Oh, on the same location? Yep. It's a six flags. Well, guess what? We

will go there if they roll out the fucking red carpet. I think they might. Hey, this is exciting. Brenda and Sean was at 76,000 views over 15 years after came out. And somebody checked, it's over 87,000. now. So plus 11K for Brenda and Sean. Whoa, that's the, that's the quade bump. Bro, you got that quade bump. You're welcome, Lorne. You're welcome, Lauren. Also, someone said I'm a

father who's shown my daughter's 7 and 10 hot rod a bunch. And now every time they come back from a restroom, they say, uh, the bathroom here is nuts. That's a, that is a dream. That's a real good one. Also, uh, K-pop demon hunters got the quade bump this weekend in the theaters. A lot of, a lot of, a lot of industry rags, variety. Yeah. You know, giving us a lot of the credit for that. Yeah. A lot of the credit.

Your welks on that one. Somebody said, hey, is it possible? Am I wrong? Does your idol from K-pop, Demon Hunters? Yeah. Sounds a little bit like finest girl. Someone else texted me about this. Okay.

Finest girl from pop star. And the answer is per Lynn, Manuel, Miranda. Miranda. I said all three. For me, he's just Lynn, guys. Yeah. Is just be your idol and fuck Bin Laden are the same. Wow.

Got it. That's Perlin. I'm not saying like, oh, we got a... We're not musicologists. It's an interpolation. You know, like, we're not going to go down that road. We respect the art. You know, and if you want to borrow, have at it.

One of our producer Jeff sent it comment on Spotify. It's a verified account, so it seems legit, that Questlove Amir commented on the pod. This is literally Questlove's first comment on Spotify. That's how much. I love through it on the ground. He's the greatest. I mean, Lynn, there's a lot of talk that, like, Lynn, we've got to get Lynn in Quest to do our next round of criteria.

I think they're down. Yeah, they're down. Okay. I didn't even know you could comment on Spotify. I didn't know either. So is that another place where we call questions from, Jeff, just for the listeners right now when they want to get a question answered? Yes, Jeff says.

So what are the main places legitimately for us? It's, you guys look at YouTube comments, you look at Spotify. comments. Instagram comments. Instagram comments under the post. Got it. Email YouTube, Instagram, Spotify. Oh, and then there's the email.

What's the email again? Yeah, throw it in. The Lonely Island Pod at gmail.com. I say we just leave Jeff's voice in for that. Definitely. Yeah. Great. Thanks, Jeff.

I mean, we're running a little long, but I think we can probably just cut all the Yorm stuff, right? I think we're kind of wrapping up here. Yeah, we're wrapping up. I'm going to have some stuff I need to loop back on next app, but I got to bounce. Okay. All right.

Well, guys, I love you, but I'm going to, I, and I never pick favorites, but I will just say, I love Yorm most of all this week. And I hope, I hope he's on his road to recovery. Likewise. Yep. Love you, Yorme. Love you, Yorme. And love you guys. Love you guys.

Love you, love you. Later, Arnold. Later, Quades.
