It's the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast. You know what? I'm going to start today. I'm going to really do you dirty, Andy. Okay. Jack Black, take it away. Spelling be. Spelling be.

Woo! And what's the answer? It's a fire theme. It's a fire theme, but don't get distracted because what we need now is to know how it went today. I fucking needed one hint. Yeah. What a fucking loser.

Ask me what word, Keith. Turn in your Mensa card, dumbass. Okay. What was the word? What was that? Fru-F-F-R-F-R-U, man. Fru-F-F-R-F-U. How do you spell F-F-U?

So really, he just missed one word twice because it's F-R-O-U, F-R-U. In a way, I feel like you're a classier guy for not knowing that. That's English? That's not French. I mean... I mean, we say it. I've gotten it before. Let's say that.

You would have gotten it on the spelling bay. You just didn't. Do they allow words that have become, you know, American English, but are actually other languages words? I mean, again, the long promise probably never going to happen odd with Sam Azerski. We're going to come at him hard for this. That, a taint. What happened to a taint? A lot of words.

I'm keeping a list now of Andy of words that used to be accepted that aren't... A taint is a word. word a taint? It was for a while two tees. It's not what you think. Yeah. No, obviously.

Wait, hold on. You think that Sam Azarski approves every single word on the spelling bee every day? It's his bee. He's the only name on the bee. They could say like from a team of people. Yorm, in that world, he's a god.

Okay. In this world. He's like the will shorts of the spelling bee. Okay. He's the Thanos of the spelling bee, Yorn. You don't think he uses a generator?

He snaps his finger, words disappear. Lexicon Can I really ask Is a taint like If you tainted something Like you stuck your finger in the pie You tainted the pie Is that the version of it?

Is it? You think you're using a like I tainted that pie With my thumb? Yeah, that's my question. These guys don't know They don't even know what words mean They just type in the letters

We really need to stress Keeve is we don't care about what the words mean Or how to use them in sentences Okay We're just trying to fill out the B How excited were you guys Just if we're doing like

Morning Zoo Crew anyways How excited were you guys that 6-7 was chosen as dictionary.com's word of the year? That seems crazy to me. Even though it's just two numbers. Yeah, it's not a word. That seems like clickbait put for a word of the year. Here's another word that used to work, guys, and don't ask me what it means. Tontine.

Oh, that sounds French too. T-O-N-T-I-N-E used to work and then at some point. Isn't that when you have a ton of creatine? They don't accept that anymore? I mean, I wrote, used to work next to it on my notes. I used to do a ton of creatine. This absolutely rocks. Seth, to circle back, you're kind of my spelling, Bay.

Thanks, buddy. Also, a taint is effect or infect with disease or corruption. That's the second definition on the Internet. That's right, then. So you attainted that pie with your thumb is correct. That's right. I've been a lot of time on this hypothetical pie. I know someone else who did something to a pie with not their thumb.

Are we talking about American pie? The movie. Great movie. Yes, brother. Do you remember that? Can you imagine? If the mom came in and was like, who attains me? did my apple pie.

Okay, imagine this. You're in high school. You're like, what does it feel like? You're like, look, I want to attain something. But I don't know what to attain. I went to see a movie in whatever, late 90s. When did that movie come out, American Pie? 97?

That's a good guess. All right. So I went to see American Pie with my good friend. Oh, no, I didn't. I went to see a movie with my good friend, Peter Gross. The trailer for American Pie murdered harder than any trailer I think I've ever seen. Yeah. Because I think pretty much the pie fucking was in the trailer.

Yeah. It crushed. Crushed. The next trailer, because we were like at an independent... Yeah, I thought it was... I thought it was 99. I'm not even joking. All right, so 99.

But we were at like an independent movie theater in Chicago, like the music box or something, or Piper's Alley. And then the next trailer was like a coming of age. I want to say like gay film about two young men. And it was like very serious and playing very somber. And my friend Pete Gross screamed, more pie fucking. Oh.

Huge laugh. Yeah. So he was already piggybacking it off the trailer. The trailer, because it was just, it was very unfair for the second sort of serious movie, which had like, real, like, Wuthering Heights vibes to have to follow the American Pie trailer. Yeah.

You know what? America agreed with him. Yeah. Emma Stone was on the show tonight while we're talking. They say hi to her in the past for us. What do you think I brought up to her and showed an art card of? Can we say that Seth's name-dropping when his whole career is, like, meeting people every day? No, it's right.

It's not name-dropping. Just my life. It's his job. All of us, though, it's my job. But for all of us, though, it's like, he didn't go out of his way to bring it up. And it's pertinent to the cast because he's going to say that he brought up, I broke my arm, her digital short. Or wish it would rain. Come on.

I brought up. I broke my arm. Which it was right. It was the assistant with the giant butt. I caught myself as I was saying. Yeah. Let somebody else bring up. I broke my arm.

It could have been turned up the beef, Andy. Yeah, could have been turned up. Okay. So, Seth, how did it go when you brought it up? It went great. She basically explained how talk shows worked because she goes, it was so funny because I talked to a producer first, and literally the first thing the producer said

was Seth will probably want to talk about, I wish it would rain. The thing no one knows about it. And there's nothing you can do to stop it. And by the way, nobody loves S&L more than Emiston. Nobody loves Digital Shores more than Emistone. She definitely was like, I think I've only watched it that night.

Yeah, if that. Yeah, if that. She was probably doing a costume change when it was funny. We should send her the dress version, I mean, I can't wait. I mean, we're going to probably do two episodes, and I wish it would rain. I mean, here's what's fair.

We shouldn't talk about this now, but she was only on set for, like, I don't know, 20 minutes, maybe. Well, that's what I stress to her. I'm like, I'm not busting on it because you're in it. Like, you had very little to do with it. And then I showed the picture, and she said it was the only time people didn't edit out her real butt. That's actually the real one.

She's like, that's my real butt. And they always, like, take it out in digital effects. But they finally. Yeah, that's why I was so, That's why we were so quick to shoot because we were just like, oh, this is perfect, you know. No notes. Yeah.

In and out 20 minutes, usually there's an extra hour built on for butt removal. Yeah. For butt, per butt addition. That's right. So, such good vibes. Emma Stone.

Andy took me shopping this morning, probably right when you were talking to Emiston on national TV. We went to a trading store. I think you had good vibes right now because I feel like there's great vibes. Oh, it's great vibes right now. I mean, maybe it's probably like, you know, we've cut a tail of Emma Stone vibes. But now he took you shopping. Does that mean he picks you up, Keeve?

I drove. Okay. And we went to breakfast. That was the actual destination. Yeah, you remember when Julia Roberts picked up Richard Gear and Pretty Woman so he could take her shopping? I didn't know how to drive stick. And so I was like, Andy, you've got to get in here.

I was grinding the gears. See, like, chukunt, chukunt, chikunch. Up to his house. Oh, man. Andy, was breakfast sort of just like a ruse to then say like, hey, should we get some clothes? Yeah, he just picked a place next to that. I'm going to straight up brag.

We went to the soft opening of Phil Rosenthal and Nancy Silverton's new diner in L.A. Yeah. It opens in a couple weeks, but this was a friends and family morning. Yeah. What is Phil's Netflix show Feed Phil? Somebody feed Phil. So I would imagine a diner of his

is a really good situation. It was fantastic. They've been threatening to open it for a few years, and it's been on our calendar of like, oh, that's going to be so good. And then that chef is a very famous chef who has that restaurant, Moza. So if you just pictured this most standard diner,

menu where every diner item is just done perfectly. And we're not just saying that because they gave us a free bottle of their signature hot sauce, Seth. I'm not for fucking sale. These taste buds are not for sale. Yeah. It would take a fair amount more than one bottle of hot sauce, perhaps a case. Yeah.

Or even like two. Or just another reservation in the next couple weeks. But next door, there's a store that's my exact style. Where everything inside I would wear. Keith was literally like, this is my real life, Dan, flashes. It's true. And did you know, did you have any expectation about that this store was going to be pro-Kee? I knew it was there.

And when we parked, I was like, oh, we're in front of a store. When we're done eating, I'm taking, we're going in there. Wait, before you get to what your style is, can we guess what your style is? Because is it all rocky-related shirts and like, basically. That's fair. And friends, and friends-related sweatshirts. I did at some point. years ago discovered the merch store

on Sylvester Stallone's website, and it became 50% of my entire closet within weeks. Those were good days. I bought like six shirts, five tank tops, just had all kinds of stuff from just... It was a fun one for us because I so wanted to get

on board and encourage you, but like I was always slightly bummed out by it. Can I say something that's really fun about knowing you guys? Like when Yorm said Rocky shirts, I sometimes think Rocky might be like Bay Area slang. that I missed, and I'm like, oh, I wonder what Rocky shirts mean. And I love what it's just literally...

It's the way you think. It was Rambo and Rocky stuff. And when I said Friends, the show Friends. He's got deep cuts, like you'd have just a tank top with a drawing of a tiger on it. Oh, right. You wouldn't know, but it's from Rocky, too, and it's what's embroidered on the back of his jacket. Gotcha. And then there were some that just said Rocky.

Right. One said Rambo and as if I had been on the crew of the latest, of the second to last Rambo that was like in Burma or whatever. I just want to reiterate, Keith paid full price. He's not on the take here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When he went on the website.

Exactly. I just went to the merch store and put it in my credit card. This wasn't like buy six Rocky shirts, get a free bottle of hot sauce situation. If we're doing unsolicited plugs, I think people need to know. Also, I bought everything today at the clothing store that I bought. Andy sat there like we were in a clothing montage.

He sat in the little chair. It's a very small store. So now Pretty Woman is double. up your second pretty woman moment of the day exactly and then i would come out wearing a new button-up shirt and go and he go that's good yeah that's good by that keve what did i say when you came out in those pants not the good ones yeah i don't remember your exact wording but you told the truth i said no you can see too much oh yeah was there a jason alexander type working at the store who was a little snooty maybe thought keve didn't have the scratch to pay for all the clothes jason alexander's

the friend he's not the snooty oh you're right he's the friend that the prop the store I think that's being generous saying propositions. He's a little... He's like the co-worker. He's a little aggresso. Yeah. He's the one who is... Who just gets misunderstood.

Right. Okay. Seth, no! I was just saying it was a different time. Seth, it's not that kind of podcast. No, no, Hector... Now, Kevin's typing in with Hector Alonzo. Yeah, he wouldn't be rude.

No, he's not. He's the guy that works at the hotel who is like the... Capable of being rude. Congratulations, Kevin. You've humiliated yourself, dude. He's the concierge who always has a soft spot for her and actually, like, pull strings to make her help her fit in. And it's like the fairy godmother of the thing. What this is now, this isn't like a rewatch podcast about Pretty Woman.

It's a podcast about people who need to rewatch Pretty Woman. Yeah, that's right. That would be a dream. Gary Marshall's classic. Gary Marshall. Can I just quickly ask a question? Yes. Yoram, how's that pelvis?

Uh, I, I have nerve pain all down my left side that I haven't had for a little while, so that gets me a little nervous, Andy, but besides that... Is that good news, like the feeling nerve pain means they're coming back? I think so, but I had this, like, very, like, my feeder and lava kind of feeling for, like, a week, a couple weeks back, that's gone away, and now it's, it's back again, Seth, so it's a little hard for me to say that that's good, but every time I somehow describe pain to a doctor, they're like, right on, yes, that's great. I'm like, okay, well, not great for me, but...

Is it Dr. Spaceman from 30 Rock? It's better than numbness, which I guess is the alternative. Yeah. Wait, Keith, what is your style now, though? I want to go back to what your style... Is it similar? Is it Dr. Kvorken? No, Andy did say what it was.

I came out in three different things. He liked them all, and then he went, here's what your style is. And he said, and it works because it's true. Do you remember what you said? Yeah, what is it? What did I say? You said, like, a middle-aged man

who used to skate. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, you're a grown man who used to skate and is still pretty cool. By the way, if you watch any epically later, advice magazines epically later, every single dude

dresses exactly like that because they're all like skaters and they're pretty cool. There you go. Where's this door? I gotta go. It sounds great. Oh, we're not doing free plugs.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm gatekeeping this one. I don't want a bunch of people coming in there. He's got to find that diner. Let's just say it's very close to Phil Rosenthal's new diner, which we love. Okay, great. Yeah.

That one's easily Googledable. Listen, if I thought they'd give me free stuff, I would. Wait, can I say something real quick? Yeah, yeah. I shared the photo with you guys, but I had, I mean, again, I think we all like sharing our stories about getting the Quaid Army. I was at a fantastic event. It's to support the Headstrong project, which is an incredible organization

that provides mental health services to our nation's vets. How much they paying you to plug that, Seth? To hot sauce. So One Chalula One Saraja Not good stuff It sounds wonderful

I'm sorry I interrupted To do a joke But then a gentleman walks over to me Full dress You know Full military dress And walks over And it's the dream

To have a guy from the actual military Say Quaid army And then to be able to say to him Righteous Kill And his I believe if your allegiance Is to an army Above the United States

That's considered treason But you know what? It's a provable treason on this spot. So I believe Teddy, who's a name, who's currently also a New York City fireman. I'm just going to give a shout out to Teddy.

Oh, this guy's a hero. That's the fucking greatest. Many, many layers over. And again, we have blown up a spot. He is serving two masters by being in both the U.S. and Kuwait Army. Sorry if we get you in trouble. Now he's may get court-martialed for treason now.

Hopefully there's not a conflict of interest. Hopefully our goals stay aligned. Yes, that is not a tribunal that we will be appearing at on your behalf. You would have taken this path on your own, Teddy. Anyway, I met him and his wife. They were awesome. Anyway. I mean, I'm sure you've maybe combed through the comments of last week, Seth, already,

and I might be stealing this one from something you have planned later. I haven't, actually, so go nuts. Well, there was one specific one, but there were many good ones, but there's one really specific one that I thought, and it applies to me. It says, first Seth's corner, then we got Yorms Thorns, and now we have Keeves Peaves. Oh, wow. And I thought that was pretty good. That's pretty eager.

Keeves Peaves, this is the part of the show. We're Keeve complains. Keeves, jump in the line, willy-nilly. I feel like Andy should definitely sing that. Yeah, yeah. Whatever, you got something to complain about. Keeves, if only he hadn't said them out loud, I could sleep at night. Again, I apologize for that.

do you um i also just to let everybody know that the keves the keves peevs were like deep seated because he went after chrysal we know he loves chrysal yeah and then we reached out to see if chrysle wanted to send a voice note in and uh andy wrote this is on the text chain did he listen to last week so he knows how to clap back hashtag clap back and then keve wrote or take the l like keeps just still yeah he won't back off it did he write back he's such a little snake He sent in a voice note. Do we want to start there? Yes, please.

Let's start there. Hi, this is Jonathan Chrysle, the director of the S&L digital short called Sergio. It's called the curse. Got back to me that I guess Akiva Schaefer was saying that there was some 180 line breakage, which I'm sure he explained thoroughly. He didn't listen? Yeah, I don't know. If he's familiar with some of the filmmakers like Director Bong, Paul Greengrass,

I'd love to show the parasite line break. It's so meticulous. I know the exact one's talking about. Don't talk over him. Countless others, sometimes it's an artistic choice. Artistry is part of the filmmaking process. And it's not always a quote-unquote mistake. Sometimes filmmakers know the roles to break them.

And in this instance, I think it was done more for the emotional reason. When these people see John Ham, Explosion, John Ham Sergio, breaking through the wall. Easiest lie. With a saxophone, their world is turned 180, as they say. Yes. So they're completely thrown off. The audience should feel thrown off when they look there.

They're like, where is this? I feel discombobulated, as do the people in that scene. Imagine yourself sitting in a conference room. A man explodes. throw a wall playing a saxophone. I guess that's normal to certain people, but to me I wanted to capture the craziness

of that. You know, and I looked up, yeah. So, you know, I want to start a beef. It's really good. Yeah. Thank you, Chrysle. That was excellent. I can't. I have no

comments. No notes on that voicemail. Lovely. My only comment is that If Kreitzel had been here saying that live, he would have reacted the same way to our reactions, which is to quietly ignore them and just plow ahead. Yeah, and just continue on. That's good. That's the best way to deal with us.

It is the best way to do with us. I texted Kreitzel to say how wonderful it's been hearing his voice in the pot. And one of those moments were like, I hope he still has the same number because it's been forever. And he did, and it is the best. What's his number? Say it out loud. I don't want to tell you guys.

Oh, right. Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast comes from Airbnb. I wish I'd rope Liz into this because it's her parents. When her parents come to town, you know, we have a guest room, but it's quite small for two people to stay in, and then they're in your kitchen, stuff like that, and they're lovely. But, you know, it's nice to have a little extra space, so she has taken upon herself to find them their own space on Airbnb nearby. And they love it because they borrow one of our cars or rent a car, and they live over

there and they can watch their TV as loud as they want and they can do what they want. But then when they come over to us, they're cheery-eyed and bright because they aren't invading our space and feeling bad about it. Well, that's what you're refreshed from parents to be able to like... Oh, my God, you're here. You scared the shit out of me. Oh, yeah. No, sorry, I was here the whole time. That's what you want from parents or parents-in-law.

For them to be bright-eyed, bushy-tails, so you can just hand them your kids and be like, there you go. Get gone. Well, I love staying and welcoming homes that I book on Airbnb. but it's got me thinking my home could do the same for someone else. You've been to my house, Yorm, what would you pay for my house? A thousand dollars? I'm not good with prices. Sold! Come over here and give me a thousand dollars, and I'll go somewhere else.

I already put love into all the details in my home. Why not help someone feel comfortable and taking care of while they're traveling when I'm away from home? Think about it, Yorm. If you host your home on Airbnb while you're traveling, it's a great way to offset some of the costs of your own trip. The extra income you make could be put towards an upcoming trip of your own. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at Airbnb.com slash host.

And believe it or not, someone is allowing us to have a podcast.

I'm Gabe Liebman. I'm Max Silvestri. And we've been friends for 20 years, and we like to reach out to kind of get advice on how to live our lives. It's called I Need You Guys. Should I give my baby fresh vegetables? Can I drink the water at the hospital? My landlord plays the trombone, and I can't ask him to stop. You should make sure that you subscribe to that you never miss an episode.

I need you to go. All right, so were there any of the comments? Did you see anything else, Keeve, worth talking about? I mean, I just wonder how the quades felt about Akiva's coming in so hot, you know? Yeah. Did you find some good ones, Andy? I mean, there was lots of them, but I didn't collect them because you've been doing such a good job of collecting stuff. I will say it's tough.

Well, I have one thing that I do want to say just because this sort of piggybacks onto sets. I just wanted to say that I got a wonderful letter and note from a woman that we all met and her daughter years ago. In 2003, we did a make a wish Zoom with a girl named Olivia. You mean 2023, I think. Oh, sorry. What did I say? 2003. Oh, yeah, definitely not 2003.

And I... Keeveeves! I've got an unbelievably sweet note from Olivia, who... She's had a degenerative disease for a while, and she's gone through so many different things in her life, and she has an organization with her mom called, I can, I will, that benefits the Seattle Children's Hospital. And I've zoomed with them again for, like, an hour the other day, and they're just... the sweetest people, and I wanted to give a shout-out to that particular organization.

Nice. Because they just raised $100,000 for this fun run that they did. That's wonderful. That is awesome. That's awesome. I remember that Zoom well, and she was very sweet, and she had really funny questions that she had, I think, worked on with her dad. She's a really funny person. Olivia is the hysterical good.

Yorm, I want you to know how badly I wanted to call you out on name-dropping, but I didn't. With Olivia? Yeah. Namediopic Olivia. The coolest kid. Yeah. you can call me up shout out to Olivia

and her great organization it does chat me a little bit that the first time I mentioned a charity I'm involved with right that's fair like your arm has to immediately pile on that's fair

like clap back yeah yeah yeah it was just like I kind of thought this would be like my go fund me episode yeah

I donate to the organization and you can too we'll provide a link and maybe Seth can do that too but I don't know if he is even that involved in the organization that he was playing

I think the headstrong gets the no to go straight to hell Here's a comment I like It's on YouTube It's from A to Z Farm I would like Yorma to know That my dogs occasionally take gabapentin But also I used to have a miniature horse

That took 1,600 milligrams Of gabapentin per dose He never fell off a ladder But he did occasionally climb stairs That became problematic Because he couldn't easily get back down There you go Okay first of all the doctors told me

That I maxed it out and there was no more to take after that. But I guess you can just take as much as you want, right? Well, if you're a horse... And second of all? And second of all? Oh, that's it. And second of all?

Second of all, I'm jealous of that horse. Great. As a reminder that I think it's really important for everybody to listen to every episode, this was a comment, Keeve. Based on an ad read, something I said in the ad read, about our good friends of Viori, somebody wrote, Where are the clothes that Keeves wife Liz wears when she plays tennis? What does that mean?

Oh, that was a quote from me. you. That's what you said on the Viori ride. Yeah. Wear the clothes that Keeves' wife wear. Yeah. He'll listen to everything. Even the ads you're going to get left behind. This is an interesting note. Please bring back the original pre-recorded Seth's Corner theme song. It's painful listening to your Matt's Love it. No, that's

fair. I agree with that one. No, me and Andy keep requesting because he ad-libs it and they used to replace it with the pre-record. And then we were like, no, he makes it up every week. Yeah, you know what? Hey, can you do one for me? I have a weird little corner of Seth's Corner that I'd love to talk about real quick. Okay, so we'll fuck that person and just

Fuck that person. This is the big no. This is the part of the show where Seth talks about what he did that week. We think, go set. Hey, you know, Polar hosted SNL, and I wrote a sketch and submitted it to the table. And I heard I didn't embarrass myself. Obviously, it didn't make the show. But I did want to share that I wrote a sketch where she played a doll, a haunted doll at an inn.

And every time the innkeeper left, she asked the person who was staying in the room if they knew what the Wi-Fi was. She's like an Annabelle or... Yeah, she was an Annabelle. I think her name was Beth Annabelle. I named Beth Analy. She's stuck in a hotel. She needs to get on that Wi-Fi.

She needs a Wi-Fi. That's an evergreen sketch. Yeah. You know what it is? A classic gets a laugh at pitch and actually is unsustainable as a sketch. This person said Keeve really tapped into his inner Simon for this voice note.

Oh, they think you're Simon. Yeah, it's so weird because we're three albums. Yeah, I mean... And then... The Three Alvins. So before the Lonely Island, you guys were going to be called the Three Alvans. Yeah. Were we?

Just three Alvins. Three leaders. The three Alvins. It's tough to know who's Alvin because Yorm's character on the pod really has been coming up the ranks. Yeah. I mean, according to the fans, look, I can't control what people like. He's rising up the ranks. Forget about the part where he says his character.

The ranks are just us for. Yeah. So would you say, you know, You fell a Theodore but landed in Alvin? Oh, no. I was never Theodore. Sat, sad, you don't get it. We've always been Alvins.

We're just different kinds of Alvans. It's a different way to be irritating. This one says, I love how their response to Keev complains is, quote, shut up, nerd. Keeve, did people agree with you, though, or did they, when they hit us in the titus, or did they think you were being a jerk? I would say most of them, that responded about me at all were positive.

Like, agreeing with me, but not at the cost of the short. They were just either saying, like, oh, that was so interesting. Some were even saying, I was a little disoriented, and now I know why. Some were saying, it didn't bump me, but I do see what he's saying. There was one guy that I saw that actually said I, that he didn't mind the jump in the lines, but as somebody who has photographed, he did agree that the whole thing looked like it was raw footage. Huh.

And he knows the look. And you expect me to believe that? Well, there's receipts. Pretty easy to find. Someone, uh, someone did right. The number of dads on this podcast you think babies are born covered in placenta was alarming. Oh. I just didn't, I noticed that, uh, on my listen.

We just were saying words. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't want to be a rude. I didn't want to be rude to our guest. We didn't clean it up because we were, because we were moving forward. We know. Oh, was that, was that our guest that's, I mean, I remember hearing it when I was listening, and he's the only one that's not a dad.

Although, by the way, he fucking jumped down my throat because I said impeachably instead of unimpeachably. Yeah, right. Everybody's real proud of old John Hamper, grammar policing. Let him know about amniotic fluid. Well, don't you say that, like, that it's afterbirth, and technically placenta is a kind of afterbirth. Yeah, but they're covered in amniotic fluid. If they're covered in the placenta, then something went wrong, I would assume. No, what you want to do is snag that placenta and make it into the capsules to help with postpartum.

What do we even doing it? That's what your legs need. Four gabapentin, one placenta pill. The amount of people who have told me that I should fly to, like, Columbia or to Tijuana and get stem cells is alarm. Like, it's always, like, super jacked friends of mine who are like, you know what you should do? And I'm like, I'm not flying to Columbia. Who are you hanging out with? I know.

It's so funny. That's immediately what I wanted to know. MMA fighters. MMA fighters that are super jacked until you. It's Keith Jardine that said that. Oh, and then he, and then he's. stood up and walked away. Did he actually fall off a ladder?

He just stood up. Yeah, he just... He really did just fully stand up and walk away. Dude, Eric Andre might be on to something. His wheelchair's there. He's gone. He got up. He forgot the calm.

He got up fast. He forgot the grift and he just got up like, oh, hold on one second. He was like, hold on my food's here. Yeah. And he just like jumped up. He was like, what the fuck? This is some dirty rotten scoundrel shit happening. Fully cartwheeled over to the door.

All right. Now he's, like, making a point to show that there's crutches. Real, real, got to lower myself down slowly. I'm such a liar. Hey, he's back. Did I get a name drop after I said Keith Jardine and then just dropped the headphones? Yeah, and just got up and just skipped away on two working legs. We were more taken with how quickly you jumped out of your chair with two working legs.

Oh, yeah, you know what? It's funny is that people get really freaked out. Like, the sympathy just drops off so fast. The minute you're in a wheelchair pop up, people are like, Fuck that guy. Yeah. Yeah. It's like cheating.

Yeah. I agree. I'm a little worried you don't realize why. No, I went from the chair to the crutches, guys, and then I came back in the chair. The chair's very comfortable. Okay. Oh, I have one more before we move on. Because, again, I think we're just kind of dodging moving on to these shorts.

Another great Epp of Yormin the gang. Righteous Kill. That's one of them. All right. My character. Obviously, we talked about one of the denser sketch structures that we all adore, which was closet organizer. Yeah.

Into the bar scene that calls back closet organizer. Yeah. Very rare. I reached out to our friends Will Forte and John Solomon with a question of like,

tell us everything about the process, you know, because I was so fascinated as to what they remembered about what they came up with first, when they realized there would be a callback to it, how they felt about it. And so here's a voice note from Will Forte with the instruction, tell us everything you remember. Oh, dear. Is it 15 minutes?

Gentlemen, I have said, a huge apology to give you. You had reached out for me to send a voice memo, and I was going crazy at work, and I totally spaced. Okay. And so the information that I was supposed to give you about the closet organizer from last week, I have to give you for this week's podcast, so I apologize. But here is everything I remember about that week with the closet organizer.

Great already. I don't really remember anything I mean I remember stuff getting thrown at me I remember sitting down on stage in this setting a bar setting with John Hamm and that's about it

yeah I remember we were Tarky Tarky Fencington I think and Resden Boehner Bonior Bonier and I still don't know which one was which

Like, I think I'm Tarky and John was rest. And every time we see each other, we ask each other who was who. And then I think that's what we came up with. And that's it. That's all I remember. I do kind of seem to remember that we thought it was kind of a big deal because Lauren let us do a two-parter, which didn't seem like there were a ton of two-parters back then. So that was exciting.

And the fact that they stayed in for the live show was. was fun for us. But that's about it. Okay, sorry again for this kind of pretty shitty voice memo coming a week late. I'll probably go to hell for this. I really enjoyed being

here with you. Love you. Wait, what are the other two-parters that they're... Obviously, like, the Mugurbers were reoccurring, but are there other two-parters that happened in our era? There's the one Seth wrote with Zach, right? Yeah, Daryl's house is my two-partner. Oh, right.

I have a lot of affection for. I will say it's so fun to find out that he has a recall of that is the same that we have for the film Pretty Woman, which none of us were in and none of us were ever. I think that was darky. Just the casting element. Yeah, that's true. All right, you guys, so real quick, first we have the Ashton Coucher show has Tudor, which is a sketch that does not air, a digital short that does not air.

Yeah, right? And we talked about this a little at some point in the past, right? I feel like we did. We discussed it. I feel bad because, you know, obviously, Quest Love is Quaid Army, and it is not righteous that he has a cameo in a digital short that could not make the cut. Right.

Apologies, I think, are owed. Do we want to watch it or no? Not really. There's not much. Well, we could watch it. Yeah, let's watch it. Let's watch it. Will you do the honor scheme?

Before we play it, I just want to... The setup was Twitter was just coming out as a thing, and Ashton Coucher was, like, the spokesman for Twitter. That was how they launched it. Yeah, he might have the most followers of any. at that point. They gave him a huge amount, a huge amount of points in it, I believe, to be the spokesman. I might be misremembering that, but that was my understanding. And then he was hosting. And when Twitter was first a thing, I remember all of us being like, what? You just constantly, like, we were basically like the whole concept of social media. We was like, that sounds really annoying. But he obviously was great in game. And the other part of it was we didn't have a short. And it was one of those weeks where they were, They really told us we had to. And so this is what I came up with and I wrote it and Chryssel directed it.

And then they cut it. And I was so pissed. And it wasn't because I loved the short so much. It was because they had forced us to make one and then cut it. And then, you know, the next day, I was fine. I think you will watch it now and think this is okay that it got cut, right? Again, though, it was not about the quality of the short. It was just being forced and then having a cut.

Yeah, it was a, I told you. As we've mentioned, we kind of ran out of Goodwill when Shireani happened. But also, also, I'm going to make a guess here, vaguely remembering this, is that it's better than a lot of things that do air, like from us, not even talking about the rest of anybody else, but like the ones of ours that were like, oh, why did that air? Because in that episode, he needed it. And this one, I remember being more solid, potentially,

than some of the other things we've done that did get on TV. Well, I can't wait to watch it. Let's check it up. All right. Is it, it's not playing for me? is it playing at all though no time code moving no there it is

maybe it's working on the singularity let me unshare maybe it's working on the singularity that's my that's my joke for any technology that's not working sorry working on destroying all of those

hey this subway door is jammed oh yeah well circuits busy Over the past year, I've gained a lot of attention for my involvement with Twitter. But recently, I started to feel like Twitter just wasn't enough, wasn't enough. I wanted to give my followers total access. They knew what was coming out of my mind, but not what was coming out of my body. And that's why I developed the first flagellant networking system, Tudor.

It's really ingenious. Every time Ashton has a gaseous submission, or gishen, as we call it, then it's broadcasts whose millions of followers around a world, or then alerted with a distinctive ring time. The process is simple. First, I attached the receiving pad to the flesh side of my undergarments.

Then, I run a non-toxic wire up the middle of my seat, lodging it in place, and plugging it in to my mobile device. Then, I pretty much kick back and bust some ass. I have to say, When Ashton first told me this idea, I was against it. But now, I'm still against it. It was a good system, but it still wasn't quite capturing

the essence of Ashton. And a big part of that experience is smell, is smell, is smell. Adding the scent burst was a challenge, but Ashton insisted. Stefan Horkings. The Sative phase just sucked. Tutu uses microchristal technology to translate the entire gamut of flacculent subtlety.

Whether it's SBD, churchhouse creepers, Crunchy frogs, Drifters, Jimmy Buffets, cooked cauliflower cocktails, low-flying jets, crack rattlers, simple put-puts, Abbassanova, pump-nickle slammies, advanced put-puts, thunder dumplings or rip-torn? We wanted everyone to experience Ashton's Gishens in all their glorious shades.

I actually didn't realize what I was signing up for initially, and I tried to unsubscribe a bunch of times but I haven't been able to. I like that 70s show okay, but this just seemed invasive. Ashton's been eating beans again. Dude, what is that smell? Ashley Coucher just farted. Oh, very cool.

I was in Dutch Declan. I'm gonna take this. Hello. Oh, it's a church! It's a Cuccher's here! Oh, God, it's in my mouth! It's a gang in my mouth! So subscribe today, Tudor, because I'm that important.

Ashton's at McDonald's. Well, there's a couple things I did enjoy about that. I was in Led Zeppelin, uh, ending strong with... I got... Yay. Director extraordinaire Jonathan Chrysill has joined the pod. Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. I said no notes on your voice note.

It was very good, Chrysler. We already listened to it. I mean, like a Stanley Kubrick backdrop. Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, he's a cinephile and he knows it. MC Escher, three-dimensional. Chrysle, did you pop on in time to see Tudor? I just watched it.

I was trying to find it earlier. I couldn't even find it. Well, it didn't air. It didn't air. Well, oh, they never put it out at all? No. All right, guys, thoughts on Tudor? Tell me everything.

Don't hold back. Well, how are the eyelines, first of all, Keeve? The a perfect. I thought, I mean, that is a fully realized idea. Maybe, you know, not the best one of all time, but it is all there. And you've got the Them Crooked Vulture's cameo and the Quest Love cameo. It is thorough. Ashton's being a super good sport.

Oh, my God, he's so scared. Akiva is so scared that you're on the pod, that he's. He's just gushing. It's disgusting. Christa, did you hear my voice note last week? No. It started with apologies and stuff. It was not cruel.

But I didn't hold any punches, so you should hear it. But your response was perfect. But, yeah, Tudor is very arable, and your effects work is very clean. Ariable because of farts. Yeah. I did like when Jenny Slake gets the burst and you guys did like a wafted air in her face. like her hair blows back from the phone.

It's funny to see the phones so dated. I know. It is genuinely like, it's like Blackberry stuff. Yeah. Miss that query.

But the technology was actually more advanced because it could do smells, which we can't do anymore. Right. I think you're saying

phones have gotten worse in the world of two. Yeah, they can do air blasts or air blasts. I think everyone knows our stance on that. Wait, you guys, I have to bounce.

I'm very sorry, but I'm very glad that that's all right. We got another shock to, yeah, exactly. I love you,

Cressel. As long as it's always, four shock jocks than the equation. The boat doesn't tip over. Yeah, the universe keeps its balance. Exactly, exactly. As long as I'm still the most popular character. Okay, Yoram, does there anything you want to say before you go?

Yes, I think Chrysler's right, whatever, just in this particular battle. I'm a pro-Krysal and anti-Akeva. I love you guys. Great, that's insane. Okay, bye, Yorma. Bye. Guys at the chopper! Support comes from Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

Do we want to just, since we have Kreitzel, do we want to jump straight to flags of the world? Well, hang on. Don't we want to talk for like 17 to 25 more minutes about Tudor?

Well, the audience can't see it. That's true. I didn't even remember them crooked vultures was a thing. Did you like the social commentary? I did. I did, Andy. I liked the moment when he says I was in Led Zeppelin. That was funny. That was great.

That was John Paul Jones. James and Led Zeppelin. I want to also say it does harken back to a simpler time where the criticism of Twitter was people just idly telling you what they were doing at any given moment. Yeah, they were all just farting around on a thing as opposed to...

As opposed to, like, a cesspool for the worst people in the world. Right. So shout out. Like, we're at Tudor right now? It'd be a little bit better than what it is. I want to just remind you, Seth, now that Chrysle has joined us to tread lightly if you're going to make any kind of disparaging comment

about incels. Right. Any politics. We want to tiptoe around. You always tell me that things, you're like, this is not the Kreisel you worked with. That's the thing you always say to me. Radicalize.

Let's get to Flags of the World. Chrysler's so good to see you, buddy. Good to see you, too. Flags of the World is, I think, has a real Kreisel stamp to it. And I mean that at a high level of compliment. Very different than anything. Yeah, it was your idea, yes? It feels like it was.

but I don't really remember. I think it was, and I was like, ooh, I love that. Jokebag, let's go. And then we just, like, hunker down and thought of as many as we could. Yeah, I just watched it. It's pretty good.

I mean, again, it's relentlessly enjoyable to watch because every second there's a new thing to look at. Yeah. What inspired it? Anything, any setup here, Chrysul? Usually, before we get into one, we talk about if there was any process or anything. I'm loading it up here.

I mean, to me, I'm always inspired by mundane. things that should not be celebrated and flags are unsung in the world they're just funny like there's a flag for a country or whatever it is. Yes, it does feel very juvenile

when you think about it. It is. Hearing you give that answer makes so much sense why you ended up directing Portlandia's. That was a very fred answer. Just flags. Yeah, just to notice something that's like why. Flags. We're proud of them.

We salute them. Yeah, and they're just weirdly different symbols for different countries. Yeah, and people do put all this, they're just some fabric, and people put all the meaning on them. Oh, yeah, they mean, they mean so much. Stars and stripes, I mean, whatever. I mean, I love it. Yeah.

I was going to say, you guys, I'm right up against the edge of getting offended. Because you know how I feel about old glory. You know how I feel about old glory. Yes, of course. You love it. You burn it, you go to jail. I love her, Akiva.

Okay. All right. Should we rock it? Yeah, let's track it. Flags of the world. American flag, Canadian flag, Danish flag, Spanish flag, Brit flag, Brit flag, Brett flag, Brett flag, Czech flag, check flag, check flag, scotch flag, scotty flag, hotie and the naughty flag, state flag, steak flag, steak flag, just stepped on a rake flag, wrist flag, ankle flag, ankle flag, flag, big old. Double Kankle flag

Flag of the world Okay White flag We love Betty White Flag So We Love Betty White Flag was so pandering In that moment

Hottie and the Nottie flag was not pandering That was a real I was like Ooh that's a little That's a classic one For you one for them Who made the beat?

Do we know? I don't know It's enjoyable It might have been Catrice Or somebody in the music department Do you think?

It's like a nice little laid-back group. Do you think we went found it? Do you, or do you think we asked, like, Asa or somebody? I was going to say Asa, but not positive. Dang. I like that the cancels are like baby cancels. Yeah, we weren't, like, trying to go after cancels too hard. Yeah. It's like, it's like toddler cancels. Also, you and Abby seem to be having very little direction as to what exactly you want to do. Like, I like that it's kind of a loose dancing. Sorry. That's on purpose. Sorry, Kreisel. You brought in a full choreography.

It might take a lot of direction. to get this exactly what you need. That's true. You got to say stop, less, less. I like check, flag, check, flag, check flag, and the last one just being a flag that is a check. Yeah. Yeah. Can I also say when we talk about how we love Betty White Flag flag, Moss Flagg, Paus Flack, Skagg, Jack, Flagg, Jack, Flagg, Flagg, Slack Flagg,

Yeah. Can I also say when we talk about how we love Betty White Flag was really for the moment. Mosflag, Boz flag, Skag flag. Yeah. I mean, those are three people that literally nobody in the audience in that given time

would have any moment to, like, cheer for. Strong disagree. Brian Bosworth, Morrissey, Ricky Skaggs? Strong disagree. And they're still all three personal heroes. This is on the Jennifer Lopez

musical guest and host episode. So it's the J-Lo fans. And there's a lot of... I remember good nights. J-Lo herself. going so rad that you shouted out, Boz. No. No. Yeah, don't you remember? And then I told you at the

after party. I've been working with Boz for the last five years. Say more about that because I think that's a joke. It's not a joke. I've been working with him very intimately. In what capacity? He's an actor as well, as a sports legend.

And I do these commercials for Dr. Pepper, and he plays like a sheriff. It's like a recurring series. And I gotten to know him well. And wait, wait, how do we feel about Boz? Is Boz a good hang? He is, interesting. He has like a 30 for 30.

Could I say something? Who is Bozs-Bosworth? Brian Bosworth. Yeah. Oh, it is Brian Bosworth. Yeah. From Megaforce? He did have one action movie, right?

No, he has a bunch. No, it's not Megaforce, though. It's Stone Cold. Right. He has a 30-for-30. That is very good. Agreed. I watched it.

Did you like it as much as the Bo Jackson one? I don't think I've seen the Bo Jackson one. See? more proof, everyone, that we are not on the take. I would imagine they're each in one another's. Because Bo Jackson, like, famously ran him over once, right? Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. When you first met him,

Kreitzel, was he like, hey, I heard word, you did flags of the world. He was. We talked about it. Oh, Barry Boswick. That's whose name was in my brain. Yeah. Is Barry Boswick and Megaforce? Yeah. That's your boss. That's my boss. Yeah. Very Boswick from Spin City, where I

was a fucking writer's PA? That's the guy. What was your last year as a P-A-N, Spin City. Probably 2003, probably. Yeah, 0-3 or O-4. Well, at a certain point, he got promoted to be on a desk at Sid-U-Bu-Sit. Yeah, at Ubu Productions. Where he'd answer the phone there.

But that's because they produced Spin City. So it was all in the family. All right, are we ready to continue at Flagshag? Yeah. Flag snack, flag, slag in the flag mag, wearing garbage bags, taking tracks from a flag flag flag. That's what they call in England. A neo-Nazi Potsi flag

Neo-Nazi Patsy flag is good Pasta flag Confused fan of lost a flag Sag flag gag flag Girlfriend on the rag flag Can't do that A glow and a halo made of plato flag Stag flag

Freak flag Can I get a peak flag Lap on flag Little naughty strap on flag A bread flag Red flag A bread flag is a red flag On a date when he stuck his like

Chopstick through a piece of white bread Yeah, that might have been the red flag. I'm glad you got that. I like that when they showed, speaking to the lack of applause for the Skag's flag and the Boz flag and the Boz flag, when we did show Jennifer Lopez on a flag, the audience did get behind it. Yeah. Did they? Yeah.

They had a moment where they're like, woo. Yeah. They wooed her. Let's see it again. For sure. Like four people. Counts. Yeah, clap on flag, clap on flag, middle naughty strap on flag.

Right flag, black, flag, bread flag, red flag. Flag's up the world. Bread flag is tied to a character who's clearly a little off. Yeah, and he's a red flag. That's a red flag when he raises his bread flag. I want to see the bread flag, but I got to pause. Oh, it's you in a wig. Yeah.

Yeah, I feel like I connect with the guy raising the bread flag. Yeah, there he is. He's got rainbow suspenders. He's dressed like morgue. Yeah. A crazy, like, dark hair wig. He's Mork. He's Mork. He's full morgan.

Yeah. They've got a nice vase full of tulips and some food. Mm-hmm. And it seems like they're maybe on... A date. Yeah, they're on a date. It seems like, uh, red flag. The bread flag?

For me, red flag. Exactly. I think it makes perfect sense and is good. It wasn't a chopstick. You had an actual bread flag. It's on a normal flagpole. Yeah, man. It's airtight, like Sergio.

All right, let's keep going. Oh, no, you did earth flag. Yes, I did flag Biggie flag, baggy flag Maggy dressed and draggy flag Ziggy flag zaggy flag flag flag flag flagged flag flagged flag Flagged of the world Yep, that was it

I have a lot of affection for flags of the world 90 seconds Yeah 90 seconds How many views Seth on YouTube? What do you got there? Do you want a guess first or do you want me to just tell you? Take a guess, Andy. 70 million?

It went up 12 years ago, so that's after it aired, right? Because this is, we're in 2010. So it didn't get on here right away because it was still not doing YouTube. Because that's when people were missed in that time. That's what I mean. Those first three years is when all the views normally happened. That was when, like, everybody was watching. If you had Bosworth and something, people were watching it.

That's right. $727,000. I would actually say that's not bad. That's more than I was expecting. Not bad for FISA, especially for getting posted three years later. I remember, and I'm not, this is true, like in New York Magazine or something, for that year, they were like, this is one of the best S&L sketches of the year I'm not. Did they really?

Fantastic. It was one of those culture kind of things. I was like, that's right. I, again, I think it's really important to note that we're like, we're getting laterish in the run of digital shorts. And it's very impressive to do one that doesn't feel like anyone that came before it. That's my favorite thing about it is it's. a unique little thing that hadn't, it wasn't like any of the others.

Yeah, nobody was ahead of it. Nobody when it started was like, oh, I know what this is. Like, it was really fun. Yeah, Evergreen. And really fast. It doesn't ask for more than it gives. It's so evergreen,

like it doesn't have the band from the Tudor one. It was very topical at that moment. Right. Vultures. Them crooked vultures. Crooked vultures. Yeah. Right.

This one's evergreen. It has the hottie and the naughty in it. Exactly. They use it. in schools, this one, to teach kids about five. But we have it on another YouTube site that's for educational purposes. Got it. It's on an EDU.

Yeah. Right. I might have been at this episode. This might be when I returned. I have this memory of, like, coming into the edit when you're working on this. Is that true? This is around the time. Next week is the Zach Alfenacus one you did, and I know I was there for that at some point.

but this might have been when I came back and added like all the best jokes at the last second just like you guys were going to do it and it was half the speed this is your brother you're both in the DGA we are that's true it's a delightful little morsel

I'm heartbroken about something right now I have found on vulture did Alexi dump you Yeah, fuck during a podcast. That was the one rule. Let's not talk about our relationship during podcasts.

But here she is, leaving a fucking note on the fridge. I found a article on Vulture, which is the best sketches of the season from 2010. Okay. But it's a slideshow

that's not loading. Oh. So I'm going to have to, I'm going to do some work. Hit me with the link in case just hit me with it real quick. All right, I'm going to send it over. Yeah, hit Keeve and the tit.

less fun that was sort of it was an abbreviated version of what i normally say yeah oh andy did you tell them about tutor i was telling andy that i remember when we were filming it demi more was there oh right oh and but it's kind of like this voice from out of the darkness because remember it was like we're doing those talking head interviews and she was like he should do this i'm like who's who is that it's like oh demi more well she was pitching jokes you were saying she was pitching jokes because she was really into it we were very nervous that like is he going to find this funny this like too close to home because he was the king of Twitter at that point and she was loving it uh that rules um jezebel member jesabel dot com there said it was one of the highlights of the

show flags of the world yeah i miss jesabel i loved that site it was a good time there was a real optimism in the internet and by that i mean a lot of websites of people we liked who were snarky about things but funny about it yeah but funny and like good writers who then you'd want to work with later on. Exactly. And I think you probably did. Can I run through a couple things worth noting

in the Ashton Kutcher show? Yes, please. Christel was there, so this is pertinent. A couple of sketches that stayed with me for a long time. There was a Solomon

Sublette Klein sketch called Burn Notice Game Show. Do you remember that? Oh, yes. It's so funny. It teased it up as Bird Notice Game Show. And then the only question

they ask is, what is Bird Notice, right? What is Burn Notice? That really stuck with me. But isn't it when they're saying it's a sunglasses commercial? Yeah, they're trying to guess nobody knows what burn notices. And the best is, because again, it was a very popular show on USA. It was.

And that's what Senecas is the host kept being like, it's the eighth most popular show on cable. Yeah, no, it's not, it's, they're giving props. Who can tell me literally anything about this immensely popular television show? Yes. Is it a reality show About Sunglasses?

No Is it kind of like NCIS? Okay, in what way? I don't know And there's a really nice moment Where late in it, Ashton Kutcher says Does it take place in Miami? And there's a ding, ding, ding.

And Sedagus, the host goes, Oh my God, we've never heard that noise before. judges and you think the judges are going to say like that's right and it cuts to three judges who also don't know anything about burn notice it's a really nice move um there's also a i mean i would say a perfect 10 to 1 which is band reunion at the wedding oh yeah fred which is fred bill dave grohl right are playing at fred's daughter's wedding and they used to be a punk band called crisis of conformity this got a lot of play in the Questlove Doc, right?

About the music stuff, which was awesome, awesome. I mean, it starts with a very dorky Fred being like, these guys used to be in a band with me and we want to do a song, and then you don't realize until they start that it's a punk band called Crisis of Conformity because he sort of introduces the band. And then the song is Fist Fight in the parking lot. You think it's who to do your shot. When we can beat a bite-knit-hast.

Fis-fight, Fis-fight, Fis-fight, Fis-Fite. And it's fight in the parking lot. This fight. This fight. This fight. It's right in the parking lot. And it's kind of a perfect sketch because it's just like a real hardcore, like, unironically great punk song. That was the five to one, huh?

That was the five to one. It was right at the end. Wow. And it was a great use of Dave Grohl. And then that was the era where I was making a T-shirt every year for the show. That was like the writer's party. And it was, do you remember it was a concert to you? shirt for Crisis of Conformity?

Yeah, it was a great design. It was a great design, and then the back of it was the tour dates for Crisis of Conformity were all of our hometowns. Yeah, yeah. I remember because Berkeley was on there like three times. Did three nights at the Greek or something. They did three nights in Berkeley. Yeah.

Oh, that's nice, Seth. I didn't remember that. That's very thoughtful. I wore that shirt for years until something weird happened, just like started shrinking, I guess, because it was just getting tighter and tighter. I don't know if you want to talk up to the manufacturer of it or something. I think it has to do with the manufacturer because that has to do with the manufacturer, because that happened to me too.

Oh, my God. Well, that's actually proof because it couldn't possibly happen to both of us. It's weird because I never washed it. Like, it just started shrinking. Yeah. I was like, this is tighter than it was. By a lot.

I have, if you're ready for a comment I found, it's a question that I think's a good one about last week. When there's a two-part sketch like the closet organizer and bar sketch, do they get submitted and read at the table as one act, or do they get split up at the table read? The answer is split up. You try to kind of at the table,

give the same experience that the viewer would have at home. So you definitely would have one, let other sketches play. And at this point, was it Shoemaker, who would choose the rundown order of the table read? No, Shoemaker's gone now. So Kenward. So then Kenward. So then he would be, you know, actually thinking of it, like, putting on a live show and thinking, like, how many? I don't want people to have forgotten about it and try to give it a shot.

You know, I don't know how many sketches later, but it is a thoughtful process. There's another crazy thing about the Coucher show. which I've already lost. What's your question, Kressel? Well, he's looking. Oh, because, like, that was such an anomaly to me, that recurring thing. Like, I don't even remember that. No, we were talking about it earlier before you got on, that they are so rare.

And then that one, to me, like, there's the McGruber kind where it was surprised in the first time, but they also feel self-contained. This one where it was, like, building on a character where you would have no idea would come back. And then it was in a new genre, but, you know, because the first one's in an ad, and the second one's in a sketch. I'm sure there's other examples in the 50-year history, but there's very few. I'd love it.

Hit us in the tinnis if you know an example. The other thing I want to say about the culture show, well, two things. This is the fattest update, which has four features. Andy was the kid who just woke up. Liam! Liam, the teen who just woke up.

Do you remember, I texted with Mullaney today to verify. Do you remember your other name that you wanted to have for him? He loves talking about this. Because you came in and you said, I either want to do a character name, Liam, the teen who just woke up, or Bedhead Jones. Which he always brings it up as if I'm some sort of buffoon. And I'm like, I don't know, man.

I think Bedhead Jones is pretty sticky. I don't think he does bring it up like your buffoon. I think he was like, this is the funniest fucking thing that he had two names for it. And the second name being Bedhead Jones is really funny. But here's in one update, Bedhead Jones, Jean K.Jon, Bill is Elliot Spitzer. and Garth and Cat, five cast members came out. Wow. That must have been like a 20-minute update.

Those are good ones, though. If I remember them with no coaching to remember it, then those are all good ones. I guess that's why Tudor got cut, because that was so long. Yeah, that's probably. Honestly, we started this also, Christo, I was saying, like, part of, I think, what was making you guys annoyed about it getting cut is that things that we have made that are much less polished and less good than that have aired. And how it's the unfair luck of the journey.

of what the whole rest of the show is in terms of that. Because you're backstage watching like, this one's long, come on, come on, get it over with. There's like 30 seconds. Here's not to backtrack, but I just have the comments open. Earlier I was looking for comments that either got my back or your back, Chrysler. Here's one, Team Akiva.

Here's the very next one. Keeve is wrong. The disorientation was the point. It heightens the terror of what isn't terrifying. So, you know, it can go either way. I think cinnophiles know what's up. They veer Chrysle, yeah. Regular people are just like, huh?

What's happening? I'm telling you, I was watching Parasite, which is a masterpiece. I know. And there's a scene where you're like, why is this shot? He moves them over when she's pretending to be rich or whatever,

but the camera does this beautiful dolly move over the back of the other person's head. And then they're both facing the exact same direction. So it's completely bizarre, but it's like so, controlled that it's like you have to notice.

Yes, like Sergio. Like Sergio. Hey, can I just the Jennifer Lopez show, there was another great 10 to 1er. Well, there's two things. One, the actual last sketch in the J-Lo show is Closet Organizer again.

Lauren sort of ran it again as a commercial parody to like fill the last two minutes where obviously the show was short. Oh, just the videotape of, yeah. Which is a reminder that closet organizer, the first half, can stand alone. You know what you don't see very often on this rundown?

So closet organizer, as you say, played at the end because clearly he needed something to fill out the show at the very last second and we weren't ready with another live sketch, right? It's also in the cut after dress. So clearly, closet organizer was used as a videotape in dress as like filler just to get between things. And then it got cut.

So it's in the cut after dress and then it's also in the air rundown because at the last minute it got re put in. I find that interesting, Akiva. It's on the added on air section as well. You just don't see that that often. Agreed. A good tidbit to throw in.

And then there was also, I'll just say that in the J-Lo show, there was a women's curling from the ESPN classic guys. And I'm only going to say it so we could just throw in one line from it. Okay, perfect. And we'll throw it in now. Now, why don't we meet tonight's competitors? Up first, we've got Helga Birkenstock. Now, it looks like she's inspecting her teammates' brushes.

Very important thing to do. Greg, I got to ask you, what is the purpose of those brushes? Oh, no idea. Well, I mean, if you had to take a stab in the dark. Oh, I'd probably kill someone. Oh, no, no, no. I wish I heard it. Yeah, I bet it was funny.

The audience just got to hear that, but we didn't. And that's good, because we've been doing the thing where we tell things and then beep them out because the audience isn't a lot of here. And this time, we didn't get to hear it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Quades, let us know. Was that a good clip? Was it a good clip?

If only there was a way for us to hear it. Well, we'll listen later. Boy, it's so nice to see you, Kreitzel. Yeah, same to you. What do you need to plug? Well, I don't want to get into that. There is something I forgot. Seth, how did you do on spelling B?

I mean, I quibbied, but I quibby with a bunch of hints and stuff, so it doesn't remember that. So you didn't quibby? Correct, yeah. Yeah. How many hints? As a reminder, I had one. Yeah. So how many hints?

Like 14? Like 14 hints. Yeah, yeah, probably. Andy Quibby's clean most of days. That's the whole thing. Get some all. with that. He gets Queen Bee and he doesn't use the hands. I had a crazy streak recently.

It's my third longest streak where I believe I got eight straight days clean. And then after that, I had one hint and then two or three more days straight. I had to quit. It's just taking over my life. No, Sam, exactly. It's such a waste of time. Anyway, my longest streak is, I think,

17 days. I'm in breath. I'm very impressed. I'm very impressed. Thousands of hours. It's a time suck crisis. I completely agree with you. It's ruining my life. It's getting in the way my ability to connect with my kids and my spouse. Isn't that funny, Akiva?

I mean, half the audience won't even get to hear this part because they turned off this podcast in the first 30 seconds when... Oh, we told them right at the top. Right, yeah. They were like, it got what I needed, bye! Christa just let a lot of people tune in just to find out if Andy Quibbied or not. And so the moment

we let that out of the bag, they're like, bloop, they're off. Yeah, got it. And we did it. We always hold it to the end to kind of tease it along. But today, he talked about it right off the bat oh wait keb just shared something which should maybe be our new bee clip ready that's when we don't quibby kevin yeah that's for the tough ones yeah yeah yeah i mean i had to use one hit today so yeah not the bee not the bee uh all right chrysle thank you for hopping on buddy Love you, Christel. Love you guys.

Love you guys. Yeah, love you. Later, Arnold. Later, Arnold. Later, Quates.
