It's the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast. I'm the guy with technical issues today. Well, I'm still going to start talking. In this light, with his facial hair, Yorm kind of looks like a handsome guy. What's the old Knicks player? Like the all-time great Knicks player. Walthraseer? Yes, he looks like Walsh.

He does look like Walsh, Frazier. Screen grab Walt Frazier Yorm, because I think people are going to think this is a crazy thing to say. Wait, don't change your look, though, Yorm. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, right. This is good? No, no, no, no, no, go back to how you wear. You fucked it up, you fucking know.

You have to be backlit. You were so backlit that it was not clear you were a white person. Look at your screen. Don't look at us. I'm trying. Oh, I'm doing it. Go back to looking at your computer the way you were doing it. Well, I don't know what I was doing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right there. Stay there. Stay there. Stay there. But don't be looking at us and smiling you. Yeah, God, you don't understand how to look like Walt Frazier. What does he look? What kind of looks does he do?

Look to the hoop. You were focused on something. Look down where you were focused. Stop trying to be a part of it and just be it. No, no, no. Is that good? It was almost gold. Okay, next.

It's whatever you were focusing on, Yorm. You were looking down, focusing on something. Hey, next person audition for the Walt Frazier biopic. We got Yormit Kone. Hey, love your work, Yom. Love June girls. Hey, I'm gonna hit a two-poena. I'm just gonna go.

You did write height on your resume, any. And it's clear now that that's not. I gotta say, guys, I'm fucking shrinking, like Lincoln, if you know what I'm talking about. I'm not stinking. Hey, all right, real quick, since we talked about Nix. Two of the shock jocks were in New York City last night. How loud did it get? Yoram, you go first because I have a small tale.

We immediately, the moment they won, our friend Josh was over. I woke up my son for the fourth quarter, who was asleep. And then we hopped in the van, the d wagon, and drove up to Smith Street, which was popping off. It's probably, I don't know, 400 to 1,000 people. I'm not good with numbers. And the police were out in force because they had been shut down the week before by the commissioner of New York. So there was just lines of police officers. And then we went around and just slap five with just a wonderful amount of people.

The confidence to drive a vehicle that's like begging to get set on fire into a celebration. It could have been tipped over with us in it very easily. It's almost like I feel like someone's like, we got to be better than this. We can't set a taxi on fire. And then the dwagon pulls up and they're like, oh, that we can do. Well, here's the thing. I kept screaming, don't light the dwagon on fire. So that helps.

I do think that helps. The Dwagon is kind of riot nip. Yeah, it is, right. It feels like the Dwagon is full of people who care not for the fortunes of the Nix. That's why I brought my son because I was like, they're not going to kill a kid. So he was a shield. Oh, he was a shield. Oh, 100%.

I kept holding him up. Don't burn the Dwagon. Don't burn the kid. Look, he's a little guy. Look at him. He's just like this little dwagon. It's not mine. It's his.

Don't burn two little guys. They went to let an adult drag. of this. Quaid sent in a lot of other names for the Dwagon, which we will get to. Okay. It's going to be hard to beat the Dwagon. Anyway, mine real quick was I made a dinner plan weeks ago, and so I didn't get to watch the pub right next to Madison Square Garden. Midtown.

No joke. That's Midtown. No. I'll name drop. Well, we can bleep it. Oh, my God. And the meal was delicious, and right around the end of the meal, you could hear the city starting to, like, shake as it was becoming clear the Knicks were closing in.

And I mean, this is like one of the fanciest restaurants in New York. And you looked around at our table and every other table in the restaurant. Everyone just had their phones out. That's right. Just watching it. And like every time a shot went in being like, wheels, you'll, like not wanting to insult the Somali. And then they finally wanted it and everyone went fucking bat shit. And then the drive home, the part walk home, part drive home was basically like the movie Warriors.

Yeah. Like just every single corner like people lighting shit on. fire and attacking each other. And I was like, whoa, no. This is not befitting of an older gentleman who had a nice dinner. I unfortunately had a dinner reservation last night at a Tex-Mec place called San Antonio Sam's. Yeah, that's just bad luck.

The mood was sad. Yeah. Well, it was worse than sad. They definitely congregate. Knicks congregate around it as though it was where the enemy was. Right, right, right. Definitely a lot of mooky cosplay people throw in full. trash cans through the window

Mookie cosplay I was at Wembe's Piano Bar Oh no Yeah Total coincidence by the way Nothing to do with basketball But yeah they burned it down

It's like very French themed Right a lot of Edith Piaff stuff A lot of Eidstaff stuff But still it got mookied It got moochied last night My friend opened a boots and spurs shop That got totally mookied Out of Wooking

It got moochied out the wing It just a lot of places got mookied last night last night. Wemby, I would say I'm completely enamored with Wemby, and now he might be like, I'm actually going to be a villain. I'm actually going to be an NBA villain. I mean, Nix fans hate him more than anything on Earth. Yeah, because of the smush.

He kind of went Hollywood Hulk Hogan a little bit. I kind of agree. Like, at first when Nix fans were mad at him, like, oh, well, this is just New Yorkers don't like people who are good at stuff that is in the way of what they want. And then I'm like, oh, no, he might be villain. Shoving Brunson the way he did was like the first, like, Wait a minute.

His sweet face. I both understand their anger and also thought it was funny that he like mushed him and then giggled. He was like, I'm big. I don't know. The way he dropped his foot, it looked like he like purposely was trying to hurt Brunson a little bit. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I think everyone listening, every quade we know for a fact is deep into this sports convo. But this is again, we've always said it's a recapping shorts and then culture at large. That's right. That's always what we've said. Since episode one, go back and listen to episode one. Don't listen too closely, though. Yoram and I had a night on the town.

We were a couple of Broadway babies on Thursday. Mike Short, Pete Gross joined us, and we went and saw Maya and old Mary. You've already done this, Andy. It truly is. Yeah, you were not being hyperbolic any of that show. Like, she is on one. Like, it is relentless.

I actually thought it should come with a little bit of a warning because my throat was hurting so bad from the relentless laughs from the show. Yorm, they're not going to pull your quote and put it on the poster, dude. Oh, it's too late. Here's something, the quote you could use. I laughed from start to finish, and I still laughed a third as much as Yorm did. It was next to me, I wish I'd thought ahead to get a cackle track from,

Yorm was so delighted. Yeah, it is, yeah. In shock. Like, it was so fun to be next to Yorre. I was the only one who had had a drink, but I don't think of that. Yeah. I just like spending $42 on drinks. Brodwa.

Yom in the end bought it, but he did. Yorm was running a little bit later than the meetup point and did text ahead, like, can someone get me a $40 margarita, which I thought. Somebody, that's a great understanding of Broadway. That's a good move. Yeah, if you're going to be late, definitely ask for stuff. Mike Shor said something that should be a quote on the poster, which is he was constantly excited about three seconds into the future.

Like, that's how that show made him. Is that at every point you knew that it was going to be better and different and more exciting. So you were just constantly. in a state of joyful anticipation. He was like comedy future tripping. Yeah. And having seen the show a few times, it was also that thrill of knowing

there's like two or three incredible set pieces that you were getting to see Maya do. Well, you guys had seen it before. For me, it was all brand new. I still haven't seen anything. I'm out here, Keith, no better. We got room for you. There's room for eight million and one stories, Keith.

Come out here. I'd love it. That's your New York pitch. I apologize for anybody who watches Corrections and we'll hear this, but it's such a good burn on Bays. That on game four, Bay's a big Knicks fan, the greatest comeback of all time, that night, Bays' wife had got him tickets to see a giant on Broadway, which is John Lithgow playing Roaldol. He's great.

It's sort of a long play about a Roll Dahl in anti-Semitism. And he was, it was like. Like, Bays kind of always looks like a guy who just found out that's what he's doing on the night of a Knicks game. So it very much fit his mood. But a producer on a show also went and said when they sat down, and this speaks to the brilliance of Bays, Bayes said, Lithgow Nix. Oh, because Bays also, he kind of struck out with me because he sent me a text. I rarely have to ask him what he meant.

But he had a pitch for the name of your van. Oh. He goes, I think the van should be called Van McCaffrey. Does that make any sense to anybody? No. No. Sorry. Wait, that's Bayes' pitch or a Lithgow's pitch?

No. Yeah, no. It's, oh, man, that's bad. That's a bad reflection on Bayes. That's so bad. It must have been a Lithgow pitch. Who's Van McAfree? Ann McCaffrey was an American writer known for the Dragon Riders of Pern Science Fiction

Series. Hell yes. Okay, now I love it. Back on board. Back on board. I do like that. She was the first woman to win a Hugo Award for fiction and the first to win a Nebula Award. Also, dragon riders of Pern sounds like a fake book that a Kenan character would have written in a James Anderson sketch.

Could be the Dwagon Writers of them. Here's what I'll say, Seth. The reason it threw me off is because Van is a name, you know? Look, I think he owned that it did not land. Yorm, you could call it Van Hammersley. That's true. You guys, Dwagon is my heart. Here's a couple.

I know you're very happy with Dwagon, Yorm, but riders on the Yorm. Yeah. That's like a sub-hanging. Total decal, like a total recall, but total, I mean, total decal. Decal. Decol. Decol. Total decal.

The boy with the dragon van. I guess that's the girl with the dragon tattoo. Yeah, that's a stinker. The best one was Dragon Van, colon, D-van. Well, that's what I was wondering is, should it be D-dash-wagon? The long version being the dragon wagon. Right. But it's pronounced d-wagon.

So the other one was, yeah, D-Wag, colon the dragon. wagon based on D-War, dinosaur wars. The Dragon Wagon, also known as Dwagon. Drameen. Yeah, right. Just going to do a quick rundown of comments that a lot of people had, many people during the Stumblin episode, admitted they also thought the lyric was walking in slow motion. Oh.

Wait, but I actually double-checked, and it is slow-motion later. It's just watching. Yeah. Watching in slow-motion. Yeah. Here was one on the Instagram for the Dragon Wagon. It's Dragon, Seth. to my vansectomy.

Dragon cess to my vasectomy. Vansectomy. I'd like to have him feel like he's not being dragged to it, but it's like an opportunity for friendship. I posted a photo of us backstage at O'Mary, and someone in the comments said, I hope at intermission you took Yorm to get his vasectomy. There's no intermission in O'Mary,

or else I, of course, I would have. That's the only reason. It's the only reason. Harpoon van? These are on the Instagram. Van Cestors protect me? Can we get it? get three Alvins in the Alvan.

All good subheadings. Puff the Dragon Wagon? Yeah, well, we had a puff one. You could add Dwagon to all these. Puff the Dwagon Wagon. Oh, it's Salacious B. Crum is the name of the character, which is the fact that he has a middle initial, I think, continues to make it. He's very fancy.

Sleicious B. Crumb. So that means in, like, Jedi Worlds, they have middle names that they initial. Yeah, well, there was already a Salacious Crumb and Sag in Jedi Sack. Oh, I got it. I hope it's Bartholomew. Salacious B. Crum. Tattoine, right? I believe that's a tattooing person.

Any relation to our crumb? Yep. Yeah. Could be Bart. They're both similar kind of scraggly weirdos. This is suggested, Andy, your job of the hut. Bib Fortuna is quitting to go work for a different hut, let's say. And will you please, as job of the hut in the style of Will Arnett in Hot Rod?

Try to tell Bib to wait. Bibb. Bib, wait. Bib, wait. Bibb, babe, wait. Bibb, no. He can speak English. Wait.

I like it. Sorry. Is his last name? Is that what you're saying? No, he is a hut, right? He's a hut. He might be the hut. One might go so far.

I would never say that. Speaking of hot, Rod, a comment. Someone went to Niagara Falls Comic Con. there was somebody cosplay as Andy from Hot Rod, and I walked by him and yelled Quaid Army. Unfortunately, it was met by a what. And then I mentioned the pod and asked if he listened and got an um, no, sorry. So if a guy who's cosplaying his rod isn't listening to this podcast, like, what's gone wrong? There's a lot of pods out there.

I went to a bar up the street last night, and then a group of friends were like, hey, our friend looks like Andy. Like, look at him. And then both of us looked at each other, me and the guy and we both shrug like, no, not really. He's like 20%. Oh, this is on me. Oh, also the last episode, many people in the comments that

was stumbling the name of the short you guys were talking about or the way Seth was talking. Very hurtful because I was tripping over my words. Damn, mean. Cool. Real quick, this is my bad. Like two months ago, O'Brien sent me this voice note and I feel terrible. So however badly you feel listening to it, Andy, I feel so much worse for the fact that I forgot that he sent it in two months ago.

Can we listen to that voice note real quick from Mike O'Brien? Here we go, baseball. Hey, I can tell that sometime in the next month you're going to be covering Stumbling. So I thought I'd send you a voice note, obviously. He helped on it. Get this into you. I mean, to be honest, was probably my biggest week in my six years at SNL. He helped us a lot.

He was with us the whole time and we forgot. just because I co-wrote a digital short. It was just kind of when the show went from being a job to me to more like a family. As cheesy as that sounds. I've got a ton of memories. This is a real band. Andy and I coming up with the idea while chatting with Siddakis in our office, me, Andy and Lorne pitching the idea to Paul McCartney backstage at Fallon.

A lot of late night writing sessions with me, Andy and Solomon in Andy's office, just riffing, basically from Wednesday night through the show. It was just me, Andy, and Salon. We started calling ourselves the three musketeers. And it was a blast. It changed things for me. I remember like 22 hours into the 24-hour shoot, we looked at each other and we were like,

I don't know if what we're making is good or bad, but I know that I'll remember this collaboration between the three of us forever and ever. Why'd you erase it? Well, plays. Oh, Brian, Arrace your story. I'm sorry, dude. As Brian had his party yet?

Oh, I don't know. It's a great question. But wait, I should address it. I should address it. Yeah, address it. I'm sorry, dude, I forgot. I was so fucking tired. So tired.

Yeah, I was so fucking tired. You were there. As soon as the voice note started, I was like, oh, right, he was there the whole time. Shit. It happens. No, the party is in two more weeks. Yeah, that wasn't good.

Okay, so then I won't say what I know about it. I could put it in my calendar and try to go as more of a course, for this podcast. I'll tell you this, Keeve. I'll bring a little Mike. I'll take some interviews. I know some top secret deeds about it, and it sounds like it might be worth a tethering. Okay. I mean, again, in our efforts to, you know, pat out this pod, I feel like getting Mike on a whole episode to talk about how well his Maverick party went would be great. I think that that's well worth, like investigating, you know? I'm on a boat. Was in the, what is it called? Strands? Yeah, it was

the Spangram. Yeah. So we must have all committed murders last week because we get in winter soldiered. Winter soldier. Ham was also our, you know, number one quaint army member, John Hamm was in the crossword. It was a guy who was always raining on Maverick's parade. It was a longer clue. It was like guy who doesn't understand that sometimes you need a stick jockey's not afraid. Oh my God, but once he buzzes the tower, you begrudgingly respecting. Yeah, it was the longest clue I've ever seen in a crossword. And I feel like you guys, I feel like you miss this in Maverick. Like he goes so much faster than like anyone. Oh, no, I don't think we missed it. That's right.

Because a lot of people think it's the plane, but sometimes there's just, like, a guy who's, like, so much better at, like, pushing that stick. Right. It's like, it's not the plane. It's the pilot. It's, yeah. Yeah, it's the person in the box. But he's so much faster. It's nuts.

He probably uses his two hands. Sometimes, though, like, at the beginning of the movie, it is the plane because it's a really fast plane. It's, like, state of the art. It is, but even then. It's like a mini-mock plane. You got to push it to the limit. It's got hella mok's. Remember when we talked about, uh, Tarr?

Like this is the moment where Tar dies and then the rest is a dream, Keith? Yeah, well, we talked about it with my Billy Madison theory. Billy Madison, Tarr. Some people say, like, he dies in the beginning of Maverick. And the rest is a dream. Oh, the rest is a dream. Yeah. Of him, like, reconciling with Goose's son.

Right. Yeah. But the only problem is every moment from the beginning of the first Top Gun to the end of that movie is a dream. A dream for a movie viewers. His entire life's been a dream. It's not like, oh, and then all of a sudden things start working out. It's certainly a dream for me as a viewer.

Um, Sometimes the quades are a little bit. Their minds are a little dirty, and I don't care for their wordplay. Right, so give us an example. Purves. Okay, if you want an example, wonderful. Someone said, I've taken to watching the digital shorts for each episode ahead of listening, so I have context. I realize I've been pre-quemming.

Well, you've got to be careful. Disgusting. Mind out of the gutter. You can still get pregnant that way. The problem now is, like, we've really left this on Nick's plate. as to whether or not this will go in the dictionary. Although, is a dictionary correct? The New York Nictionary?

Yeah. It's spelled with KN, right? Correct. Thanks. Hey, Lauren, this is my last comment, and then we're going to get to, I just had sex. It's actually Lauren. Did anyone, oh, real quick, two-part question, did anybody in prep for this episode try to have sex with their wife this morning

and follow up, did it go as badly as it did with mine? Like, just to get in the headspace. really like, hey, I'm doing this thing. It just might be cool. We were too tired because of the next game. Absolutely not. I'm away. Support comes from Shopify. Picture this.

If there's one refresh worth making this season,

it's your bedding. Am I right, you stinky little night sweater, sweating piece of crap? Summer nights always leave me wanting betting that feels lighter, more breathable. Genuinely comfortable, not Yorm, though. He likes to keep it heavy and hot. Even in the summer months, He says he loses a lot of weight by making it really, really hot in his bedroom at night. He wakes up in a puddle. That's why Quince is my go-to. They focus on high-quality materials like European linen and bamboo, but without the luxury markup. It's the perfect balance where everything feels elevated but still effortless.

Quince says everything you need to upgrade your bed for summer, lightweight sheets, airy linen shams, and duvet covers in seasonal colors and timeless patterns like stripes and soft neutrals. I know Seth likes those soft neutrals. It sounds a bit of a soft neutral himself. Their 100% European linen bedding is woven from high-quality flax and somehow gets softer every time you wash it. Now, that's my kind of stuff. If you're more of a cotton person,

their organic cotton sheets are incredibly soft and breathable. Everything at Quince is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen so you're paying for quality, not brand markup. I've said this before, but we got some Quince stuff sent to us and we liked it so much that we actually, bought some more quince stuff with our own hard-earned cash. Elevate your summer betting.

And then they were laughing and joking about like, oh, my God, we need to watch them before we get to New York.

Oh, in case they see me. In case we see you, they'll get a quilt. Yeah. Then they said, we sat down for our last dinner in the West Village and Andy was at the table next to us. You are shitting me. What? And they were too nervous to ask for a quilt, but they did quietly quaid army while you were leaving. Thought you didn't hear, and then something clicked, and you doubled back and gave them a very satisfying righteous kid.

Do you remember this, Andy? Keeve, like, not to dunk, but it's been every restaurant I've gone in New York. Oh, yeah. It could be any number of wonderful quads that I righteous killed in the last couple weeks. In the West Village. West Village. It was either... And obviously we'll bleep all these restaurants because we're gaykeepers.

Uh... Uh... Boy, you're hitting all the trendy spots. But not the P-Hick House where Alstead sucks. Was that in the West Village, Seth? In the 80s. In the 80s. Yeah, in the 80s.

It was. Jeez. Now it's... They've ruined the city, guys. Now it's a townhouse... You just wanted to add to the bleep train. Such a perfect one-to-one. Like A to B in Seth's brain is my favorite. The minute, like,

I feel like now I'm going to have, like, Pavlov's dog. Every time I hear a bleep and anything, I'm going to be like, oh, that's where Elst Dad's such a... We got to figure out where the address was so we can go visit. Be like, we'll bleep these restaurants. Oh, yeah, and Yoram's phone number is... No, I also thought that it's not Alps' dad. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Al's dad's back on Milmac. Yeah, that's, you're right, that is such a smear because, like, Al's dad's like, dude, I didn't suck at a... The character else. Or sorry, he was probably Hey, because he would sound like Alf. Hey.

Is that how Alph sounds? He was like, Seth, Seth, I didn't smoke the That's the dad. Yeah. Don't eat the cat. Smoke the This will all be bleak.

Melmac's different. In Melmac, you, what do you do? You smoke in a with no way. What was it? What is? Christ.

You suck in a cuck. Right, because everything's reversed there. It's kind of a John Boevey kind of a planet. Sorry, you're right. That's on the John Bovey. And I'm wrong, too, because we had said that he was maybe Elf's dad, right? Right.

We've had a lot. When you get greeted on Melmac, they're like, we do things a little different around here. For our theory about that he fucked an Ardvark and then brought home Alf, then Seth is right. So maybe Seth was just still on the trajectory of that version. All right. I just had sex, you guys. This is a big one. This is a big one.

So this is the first one besides what was that, that then became not for the album after we did it and went, oh, well, how about that just the short and got removed from the album? So this is the first album track being put on there? And is this our biggest downloaded one? Not download it. This is our biggest. Well, it's definitely... It's interesting because I'm on a bow went double platinum in the official old school way. This went platinum.

It's in arguably a better. song. Yes, but this went platinum, but then, since then, whenever we get the metrics from like Spotify's and Apples, it's by far, by double. Every month it does double what I'm on a boat does worldwide. Really? But because it's, because it's streaming, it's by far the most popular song we have. Yeah, it's our biggest song. So is it based on more people are fucking than boating, do you think? Probably. Yeah, yeah. Sex is way more accessible than boats. Yeah, despite the best efforts of the legislation. Also, like, a lot of people, have just had sex on any given day.

Yeah, but how many are on boats? A fraction. Way fewer. Once we had writers' block, we would joke around that our go-to song was going to be like, I just had sex on a boat, and I just... It's how you write a comedy song. Yeah, in my pan, it's like a boss. Let's go, Blimeo!

And then we'd all commit suicide. Yes, that'd be the end of it. Quit the biz. In the multiverse where there's like, you know, an infinite number of... of Lonely Islands. Some of them did that. Yeah, well, AI would make it. Some of them did just do it.

Yeah. Andy, do you want to talk about your process of coming up with this idea? Well, I think this one was our process. Me and you were, right? We did, but I think it was, I think it stemmed from you. This was one of the ones we've talked about in terms of where I went to bed with my pregnant wife in Encino and woke up and these guys had done a first. My God, she is your McGroomer.

Your pregnant wife is such a year. Yeah, exactly. my writing life is my little grubber. And then I woke up and they had done the first chorus, because that's the beginning, because it starts hard right on it. And the first few lines, I think. And the first, I think you had most of your first verse. Yeah.

So I think we've mentioned this before, maybe when we were first talking about making the Turtle Naked Chain album. But we had been going for a couple of weeks, and we were like, I feel like we're putting a little bit too much pressure on ourselves to come up with ideas. and a few nights me and Yom decided that we were going to be like throwback musician types and smoke weed and try and brainstorm. We put her out a lot.

And we had weed as it happened. We did. And we did, we had a couple of nights, Yom, correct me if I'm wrong, not that you'll remember. But where we did this and a lot of ideas came out of it, including the song idea for Turtle Lake and Chain, which you had been phrase-wise wanting to implement somehow and was all how we dressed in junior high. and we jotted down the sentence. I just had sex because I don't even remember when or why I came up with it. But we had like a bunch of ideas on our like ideal list, on a document, on our desktop. And then the day after one of those sessions, Phil Lord and Chris Miller came over and we were playing them stuff.

But actually Chris Miller sent a voice note. So why don't we listen to that? Because maybe he'll say it himself. I can pull it up. Do you want to tell them who Chris Miller is? Yes. Chris Miller and Phil Lord are our friends, first and foremost, but also wonderful writer directors who have made 21 Jump Street, the Lego movies, Cloudy with a Chins of Meatballs. Spider-Verse.

Spider-Verse, Project Hill Mary. Kind of nuts. I'm sure I'm forgetting something else. Ew, hacks. That's huge. They're great. The Brooklyn Nine-Nine pilot. Yeah, they directed the Brooklyn Nine-N-N-Pilot.

And they were the producers of the Awesome Town Pilot. Exactly. So we've known them a long time, and we love them very much. Here we go. Okay, here's what I remember, and it's not very much. We came to visit you guys near McMansion. There was a bunch of amazing songs that you guys were working on, and there was a yellow legal notepad that a bunch of song titles of things that you hadn't recorded yet

and may or may not be doing. I was looking through it, and I saw, I just had sex. And I was like, that's it. That's the one. you had just done I'm on a boat and it was a big hit and I was like this is the exact same false braggadocio of I'm on a boat but even more so and I think that Andy you were like see I was telling you guys and then I think we left and then you guys tried it thank you Chris congratulations on waking up it's early over here yeah yeah well it's Sounds like it made me you've been asleep for a few months. Congratulations. You're going to like to see the box office.

Project Hail Mary did very well. Yes. My recollection was he looked at that phrase and said, What's I just had sex? And I was like, oh, I think just what it sounds like. And he was like, that's the one I want to hear. It's great. And then so that night we smoked marijuana, which is legal now.

So. Right. Yeah. So it was even cooler at the time. Yeah, exactly. We were edgy. It wasn't, was it legal that? Was it legal then?

It was not illegal, no. No, no. Well, we were fucking cool musicians. You had a guy. Because I remember, like, that was when Lauren would grill you guys really hard about whether or not you had smoked weed to come up with the ideas. Because he was very suspicious all the time and he was to the letter of the law. Yeah, he'd be like, this one's pretty demented, guys. You sure you were in your right minds?

Yeah. Hold on. You guys breakfast defectors. I mean, honestly, a lot of people would come up to us and be like, you guys must be so high. And we're like, very rarely. Yeah. That's the main thing you guys. when you're a comedian where people go like,

what were you smoking when you came up with that? And annoyingly, just had sex, we actually were. So it's like, ah, you actually got us. We're very cliche. Which is the weird thing is like, I Just Had Sex is a banger and a, it's fantastic. But it's way simpler than some of your other ideas. It might have been more weed forward.

I think that's partly why we were like, let's get high and like release ourselves from overthinking. Let yourself off. Yeah, let's just do something. Because I could definitely see you guys saying, like, I just had sex as like maybe too. Well, and this is no, I don't mean this as shade to Akiva. I think that it is actually saying that he's a smarter person occasionally than me and Andy,

but some of those ideas that are really, really base. And Akiva, like, correct me if I'm wrong, because I don't know if you would have stopped us. I don't know either, but I know the moment I woke up in the morning and you guys were still sleep and I was like, let's see what these goofballs got up to. And I saw a new folder. And I clicked it and played it. I was very hyped. There was no question in my mind.

in my mind as to whether or not it was a keeper. I remember that you being like, that sounded good. That's a good start. Let's finish it. Yeah, I was not confused about what I had just heard. But so, yeah, we were like, we had flagged that beat already, I think, because we always do that when we get sent beats where we're like, oh, that one sounds like big business. It would be cool to come up with an idea for it. So did we already have a reason to think Acon would do a song, or we just thought of Acon after we wrote it?

I thought we did. I don't think we had any clue. I think we had an inclination he would, and I can't remember why, Keeve. Because the very first demo version, I think it was me doing the temp being like, A-Con. Yeah, yes, to that, but I'm not.

I don't think we knew that he was... But there was like, we taken over and all that stuff, and he was... Oh, he was definitely our top, top, top choice. And he would always sing his own name right in the beginning, the preamble of the song. And we were like, it would be so tight to have one of those.

Same way we were with Deep and we were like, shout I? And how we always wanted a DJ Collin, one, but did not get that. It's also really funny about to say, A-Con, and Lonely Island.

You're just like, what? How did these guys get paired up? Also, he is, and this will come across when we watch it. He's so joyful the whole time. And that was how he was in real life. He's a delight. Every moment we were with him.

He was just like, hello! It's just so, so happy. He wasn't thrilled about some of the colder scenes. No, the cold, his face was like frozen, but we'll get to that. Yeah. I found an old email I sent to myself with ideas for the song.

Great. Okay. I haven't read them yet, so this might be a bust. Okay. There's two main ways it can go with sex. One is you do great and she's super satisfied and everyone feels great. The other is you don't do great, but let's be honest, that's pretty great too. It still ends well and feels pretty great.

These are lyric ideas. These are just areas. You know that feeling that you have when you feel so great? Well, that's how I feel after I have. six. There it is. Later, all the men feeling good step out the door and sing

and then a huge shot of like 30 doors all down a block and dudes come out of each one and sing the chorus emotionally. And then this song goes out to the ladies that let us climb on them and flop around. The world isn't fair plus you got to have babies. Your patience and ability to endure us

continues to astound. That is such an anti- lyric, flop around. Well, it ended up in there. Oh, yeah, flop. Yeah, it's fucking great. This is a fun. alternate universe to imagine is that you have, you're working on this song. This is like on your bedside table. You go out that evening, you meet a woman.

You have a passionate evening. She wakes up first and she's like, oh, what's he been scribbling at? And then she picks that up and then it's just a slow zoom in on her face with horror movie while she realizes she's had sex with the dumbest person with the dumbest ideas about sex. Speaking of which, have any of you guys ever asked your wife to pork? because I will tell you it doesn't go. No, it doesn't go. I can give that a go. Yeah, no, you know what?

I should try it, though. I would love to, yeah, love to loop back. I know it sounds crazy, but it almost seemed like she wanted me to do it. This is all first thing. Hey, who am I to argue with a good thing? Good thing. I had my penis with me. Good thing I had my penis with me.

Should have put that in. Yeah, that was a winner. That's a more complicated lyric than some of the that made it. Anyways, I thought it was. was interesting. I was like, oh, yeah, some of the original ideas were in that email to myself. This video airs December 18th, 2010. The December slot. It's a big, big slot. It's the Christmas episode. Lucky number to slumber. We've hit the Christmas now. We've done Lazy Sunday. We've done Dick in a Box, and we did, I just had sex. Those are good Christmas shows. Yeah.

For any young person who is a writer, like, I cannot tell you the value of what Andy did there. Like, anytime you have dumb ideas that you're like, well, I won't forget these. They're too dumb. Like writing it down, emailing it to yourself, having a rolling just notes app on your phone for like the dumbest ideas. Especially as you get older, you fucking forget shit. The amount that I go to bed being like, oh, that's fucking good, but I'm so tired, I'm not going to write it down now. And then you wake up and you're like, well, gone forever. It's like when I came up with the idea for stumbling completely without O'Brien. Right. Totally. What you should write down, Andy, is who you come up with your ideas with. I probably should.

I have this weird confidence, Seth, where I believe I just did it all on my own. I feel like actually the people to collaborate with Andy should maybe make sure he writes down. Every year, text me like, we did that together. Hey, happy anniversary of that thing we did together. Now, without looking at the rundown, and if you already have, this is moot, who was the musical guest for the episode? Can you guys guess? I already looked.

A-Con. Eminem and Lil Wayne together. Wow. And then the audacity of that our dumb rap. Can you even call it rap? It's basically like words strung together. But you're doing the joyous kind of, I don't know what you'd call it, bounce of a T.I. Yeah.

Like as a North Star, not that you sound like him or are doing an impression, but it's got that kind of... It's TI coded, as Seth likes to say. That is how Seth put it. Yeah, totally. This shit is very... T-I-coded. It's weird that both of those guys didn't immediately like hound us to be like,

well, how can we be down? Yeah. Can we be on a song? At good nights, they were like, we're not worthy! And they started doing the wainswell bow to you. Just before I forget, this is a reminder that I was at this Tribeca Film Festival dinner last week,

and De Niro was there. And someone came up to me and like whispered in my ear like, you're going to talk to him about Mr. Bernard Slater? And I do wish I just confidently went over and been like, Mr. Bernard. Yeah, I mean, it isn't Mr. Bernard? Party at your house. Like, hey, do a voice note into my phone for the pod. He's like, what, what, what?

No, just do it. Just do later quads. You know, from Total Recall. It's from Total Recall. Oh, my God, you don't listen to the pod? Oh, my God, who are you? A hot rod cosplayer. Anyway, good to see you, Mr. Bernard.

Jesus Christ, whatever time it is today is the time we should record with Sess. So, Andy, you found the shot list, if we're bump into that. Well, do we want to hear a little piece of the demo? Yeah, yeah. We always talk about how we do the shitty temp. So we actually were able to find two different demos. So, Andy, you found the one that we sent to Acon where in the email I said I had cut some of the first verse down, something we must have discussed. And then we had added the keychain.

The key change. Yeah. So that one is two minutes and 56 seconds, which the song, according to Wikipedia, is 248. Then I have another version that is probably from earlier. So I'm going to play that one. This is the demo from Encino of I Just Had Sex. Number seven. Sometimes something beautiful happens in this world.

You don't know how to express yourself, so you just got to sing. I just had sex. It felt so good when I did it with my penis. A girl let me do it. It literally just having sex could make a nice. It's really fun. It's so surprising that he said yes to it because he probably got so nervous listening to that.

Like, how am I going to top that? Yeah, like, no way am I topping it? Yeah, and I did the Teen Witch to him. I was like, top that. I will say, I can hear myself in that chorus, and I don't think it helped. Have I'm going to make a nice man out the meanest. You never guess where I just came from.

Those horns there are so dope. Oh, change lines. Oh. Changed lines. Guess what I just did. Had sex undress. I hope we so. A lot of differences.

All lyrics. Three Shrek's is dope. You'd be greener than three Shrex. Fuck, that Shrek has stayed in the world. That holds up. That holds up. People should start saying that to each other. You wouldn't guess a topical thing like that would still be so.

real. If anything more so today. That dude was popping off like three Shrecks. Zero memory of that line. Fuck. And then Yorms was different. Yep. There you go.

Those, Hey! Were very popular in pop rap at the moment. Yeah. Live your life and whatnot. To be honest, it almost seemed like she wanted me to do it. Doesn't really make sense.

But man's good thing that I had my penis with me. Oh. Damn skipping. I'm so humbled by a girl's ability. let me do it. Because honestly, I'd have sex with a pile of manure. With that in mind, a soft night smelling girls better. But she let me wear my taint

and my tucous. That's weird. I just had said. Good changes. So yeah, some good changes and some questionable ones made. Yeah. Really, Shrek. Shrek is the one. Like, listening back, like, what do you guys think it was that you took Shrek out? I don't know. I don't know.

Because the rest are definitely better what we came to later. Yeah, good thing I had my penis with me is good, but that turned into best 30 seconds of my life, which is a big laugh. Yeah. If you like this kind of thing, you know. Well, also, I think like all those things that, again,

the song works better because we know you guys are bad at it and like, less cocky. I'm impressed that we had made a song called Turned a Can Chene and then immediately referenced it. Well, we had learned from our Santana DVX references in the first one, that it works, and we like it. Had we already made Turnedalike and Chain, though? Oh, we might not have. I mean, clearly, yeah. I mean, we knew that we wanted to,

be dabbling in that area. I just don't know if we had that song yet. I think we had to. We had to. Because like you and I were just stomping around saying when we talk about it. Tidal Naked Chain. Okay. I'm going to play the other one. Which is this? This is another demo? Yeah, this is a different demo that Andy found.

This is the one we sent to Acon. Sometimes Something beautiful happens in this world. You don't know how to express yourself, so you just got a sing I just had sex They just happened Having sex could make a nice man out the meanest

Never guess while I just came from a hat Grab the villain Man my penis felt position known this Frick damn right What short All new ones in the places All new stuff Hey

Froggy Delight My favorite position called Froggy Delight Also known as missionary You a freaking Damn right It felt like we couldn't do that in the video Because like how would we be looking at It gets a little bit into Don't Give a Honk territory.

Yeah, just making its own bizarre shit. Exactly. Just falling apart. Yeah. And then what was yours, Andy? It was also pretty good. Googleplex. Googleplex and here's all the places.

Yeah, sex. My bed. Oh, yeah. That's it. That's it. Yes, there's some comedy ideas. Yeah. Again, if the final version had been either of these versions,

uh, absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Musically, though, I will say all the sections we changed, I think musically got like in a good way sanded down into a more pro-sounding song. Totally. The final version is better. It's just nice to know that like it wasn't like it stunk. But it's an interesting lesson because it's not necessarily funnier. It's just musically better.

But it's interesting because I agree with you, but some of those lyrics have a little bit more, like there's more words in them and there's a little bit more word sound play that's going on. But like we almost wanted these guys to be more. simplistic, I think. More stupid. Yeah.

Three tracks, though. I want to stop surprise. She even wanted me to do it. Doesn't really want to argue with a good thing. She could be my wife that good. The best 30 seconds of my life. I'm so humbled by a girl's ability to let me do it. Because honestly, I'd have sex with a pile of manure.

With that in mind, the soft night smelling girls better. But she let me wear my chain and my turtleneck sweat up. Might have been a racist. There we go. I just had sex. Fun. Shit. It's a very interesting point you make of like these guys making them a little bit dumber,

especially because the song is your most popular song. And it's a reminder of like sometimes like being a little bit less clever in the lyrics is probably some positive for. Also just when you're talking about this subject matter, you have to believe that they are innocence. Otherwise it gets too aggressive and it ruins the fun of it. Like things like positions and things like that get a little, I mean, they know too much almost. Right.

But it's very funny, they'll be like, oh, yeah, no, you guys took really good stuff out and made it better. So Acon heard that and went, I'm in. We always have that moment when we work with these great artists where they send something back and we're like, holy shit. Yes. Because all of a sudden it's real. But never, at least for me personally, never to the degree this one was.

Where when he said... T-Pain. This one in T-Pain. Yeah. Yeah, the T-Pain was pretty good. But he's so much more in this one even than the T-Pain was in that one. True. The moment this started, it was like, oh, my, oh, my God, wait, did what, did what I think just happen happen where it elevated everything?

I mean, you can just, we'll do a listen through, but just for a second, let me just pull it up. Because I want to talk, I want to look at this treatment together for a second and see what we did and didn't do. Okay. But I just want to hear the first chorus.

It's interesting also, and it was the same thing with the T-Pain demo on boat to hear when someone is an incredible singer and an incredible songwriter as well, not just

lyrically but melodically especially, the moments where whatever choice I made in the demo assuming they'd make it better anyway, but like they just choose a different note and it's the difference, right? It's like the difference between it being a global sound. thing versus like people making something in a room. Yeah, there's a bunch of little choices he made that anybody who knows the song well just heard the differences of that are awesome. Yeah.

Anybody want to guess how many hit our post on the Lonely Island YouTube has? Has it hit 200 mil? Okay, that's one guess or question. 206. 175. Or you know something, 211. I don't know. Do you already know?

I'm not going to guess because I think I have a more clear idea of it. It's 355. Oh, wow. Because it just keeps going. Way off. I was going to say 311 because Amber is the color of Yorm's energy. Yeah. Thanks, Andy.

That's actually true. Yeah. I'm going to pretend like I get it. You know? Whoa. Amber is the color of your energy. By the band 311. Got it, got it, got it.

Now I get it. Obviously cut me singing. Please cut me singing. You sounded perfect. Why would I cut that? Let's get Acon to sing that part. Can Acon come in and sing me 311? We're not doing the listen through yet, but I just want to hear.

the difference of what came back to us. Sometimes something beautiful happens in his world. It was right from that moment where it was like, oh shit! Oh shit! It was like a DJ that just goes

rewind! No, no, no, no, no. We got to just start it over again. It's literally like, did any of you guys watched the Travis Scott documentary that came out a few years ago where like he plays the songs he's made for his friends and the second they start,

they all just go crazy. And they're like, we're going to be rich! I did that. That was definitely the feeling we had on this one. We were like, God damn it. Sometimes something beautiful happens in this world.

You don't know how to express yourself, so you just got to sing. You're also hearing it mixed now from stems. I have a question. Why didn't you wait till it was warmer? Like, I mean, it's immediately, like, the comedy of this is not. Not that you guys have to wear earmuffs, but it's obviously so fucking cool. Seth, we don't go on when we're ready. We go on because it's 1130.

It's definitely not a cool music video look to be wearing earmuffs. We're going to get to this, but this is the coldest I've been in my life ever. Without a doubt. Yeah. I believe it's because, Seth, I believe it's because we were strategically like it should be the Christmas episode. Yeah. That's great. And this felt like probably our biggest one.

But then you also strategically are like we also should do it outside where it's cold. Right, right, right. Like there's an inside version. Beyond that, though, we shopped us on the top of the MetLife book. I do want to say the last thing, which is when I think about ideal sex conditions. Freezing cold. I don't think the coldest I've ever been. Oh, no, for me, it is that.

Let's look at this real quick. So this is a treatment for the video that Andy found. And this one is written in the format I would do. But it's really clean compared to most of them. And it's because it had to go to not just SNL people, because we did it with an outside of SNL crew, but it's from 12-9, so we were thinking about this a week earlier. Well, the label paid for this, right? Yeah, that's what I mean.

So we knew this was going to music video professionals who expect a different level of clarity than SNL people who know you're doing it overnight. This is three pages, which is very ambitious. And let's just glance through and see if there's anything interesting. So the overview writes... He shot this on a show week, though, correct? Like, this is not any of the show. Definitely.

Early in a show week, but yes. How early in a show? I want to say we did Top of the Met Life building on Monday or Wednesday. Yeah. Okay. So I just looked real quick. I do want to say something. I just Googled how cold was it in New York, December 2010.

And I just want to read, December 2010 was unseasonably cold in New York. Yes. The absolute lowest recorded temperature in New York City that month was 19 degrees on December 14. I think that's literally the day we were shooting. Yeah. I remember us talking about how it was record low. And with the wind chill, it actually was negative seven. And then we chose the second highest building that you can go on the rooftop of in all of New York City.

And not only that went above the rooftop, which we will get to that in a little bit. It was so dangerous. Now, the good news is I believe acons from the northern part of Finland. So don't jump ahead. There were people measuring it and saying it was. definitely below zero up there. Like people had things. Oh, for sure. I think it was negative seven. Yeah. Okay. So this is the overview. We want this to look and feel like a real acon video. It should be bright and happy and fun. Shot with Dolly and Steady as well as

helicopter and crane. We never did helicopter and crane, but that's how bold the overview is. Helicopter and crane is your favorite new restaurant, right stuff? That's what I thought you guys were going to call turtleneck and chain. Helicopter crate. Helicopter crane. All right. Right, so rooftop performance on a waterfront rooftop going real dick in a box. Singing to the world. Helicopter shots, steady on the roof, possibly add fireworks to the background. With CG. A version of that happened. We'll get to that. Yeah.

Time Square, full performance. Them in the middle of Times Square singing while camera spins around them. Shots of the big screens, too. Central Park. It's so funny that the first thing. I just want to say it should be bright and happy and fun. First shot, middle of the night, on the coldest it's ever been. But look at how happy they are.

They're happy, but, like, I got to be honest, like, when you see people happy with earmuffs on, not by a fire, you're like, I don't know if they're really happy. That was key screaming direction, though. Happier! And they couldn't hear him because they were wearing fucking earmills.

We couldn't hear. Literally could not move his mouth. He was, like, frozen in a smile. It was the first thing his rep said was that, like, he's from Senegal. He's definitely doesn't like cold. And we're like, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, well, it's the coldest day in 20 years.

Yeah, not a problem. All right, then we got a bunch of singles. Then we got the kitchen. Andy pours himself coffee, living room or hallway. Andy crosses to the bedroom where there's a girl in bed. Andy crying while having sex. Girl putting a paper bag on Andy's head. Girl knot into the boobies in the rest line.

Andy in bed with the manure dressed as a girl in a wig and bra. This is all very clean. Yorm on the street. Exits house, walks down the street. Old woman waters her lawn. Yorm Raptster. I don't believe that happens. Old man reads the paper on a porch.

I don't think this whole setup happened, right? It ended up in the park. We just found a fountain. So then you're in a bedroom, bed with girl on the phone, having sex while wearing his turn on a looking at her watch while they're to have sex, girl being racist, so we didn't know what that was yet. There's the fast food setup that we do. There's a steam room setup. We really did a lot of these hair and nail setup. I remember for some reason doing the hair and nail salon setup and Keeve, you're in that shot.

Yeah. And just us giggling so much and being like, right now in this moment, our lives rip. That's not, that's really. Like, we're making, like, a big-ass music video. There's a smoked-out atmosphere all around this salon, and we're in these stupid robes, singing this stupid-ass song, and we're all together. Every now and again, the moment congeals

that, like, you're actually getting to do this stuff, you know? And we knew this song sounded good. I remember having an excitement after knowing what I'm on a boat could do of the feeling of, like, oh, this is gonna fucking blow minds on Saturday night, and that's an exciting place. from our, it's a departure from our normal, like, what the fuck are we doing? Like, the song was already done. So now we're just making the video to support it.

Yeah. And we already know that acon's in it. Not having to think of, write and record and mix the song all like in the 24 hours before you shoot the video is definitely more fun. Yes, exactly. Yeah, shooting on Monday is like a joy. Absolutely joy, rather than 48-hour film fest every week. We called them Armageddon shots. And we've done them in other projects since, which is the classic of this moment and how it affects people around the world.

The electronic store with people staring at the window with the storefront. A home in China with a Chinese family watching it, an Irish pub with a bunch of Irish people watching it, Times Square with people watching it, where you're like trying to... It's such a cheat code for when you don't have any money to be like, it's happening everywhere in the world on video screen.

Yeah, but they're all teeny. little sets. Tron in Tokyo, we tried to do off a stock footage. I don't remember that one. Satellites in space picking up the feed,

rerouting. These are possible stock shots. Obama's acceptance speech at Chicago with the big screens. Oh, that would be playing on those screens. Love that joke. Didn't end up doing that one.

Well, we have that studio that wasn't ours or anything, but when we were in New York and had to do actual recording, we would go to downtown records, which was in Soho, and they had really NIST studio that you can see in the beginning of Jack Sparrow, because that's where we shot

the recording studio scenes in Jack Sparrow, was in the actual recording studio where we were cleaned up. What was the hookup for that place? What was the connection? It was so Downtown Records, the guy's name was Josh something who owned it. And that was the record label that was kind of this new little cool one that had signed as some of the earliest acts, Narls Barkley, and Electric Guest. Ah, that's what it was.

Your brother. Yeah. Yeah. And so we got to know them. And then when we needed a New York studio space, he gave us a good rate to, I think, you know, like to have it. That's why we met Santi. Yeah.

Because she was doing her album next door in the other studio. There were two studios. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so we ended up going there. Like, we brought Nikki Minaj there. That's where Kendrick Lamar recorded his stuff with us. But then that's also where we mixed the albums when we needed in New York space. Not the first album, because that was Brian Spurber and he did his house.

But the second album, we definitely turned like a chain. We got to actually mix in a real room. Yep. But there was something that, so Acon, he sent the entire thing, and we decided we needed one word of one thing changed to, like, have more separation. And I don't remember what it was. But it meant that we got to hang out with him in the studio

like the day before we did the video and try to pick up some stuff. Yep. And then leading up to shooting the video, we must have had to reach out to Blake and Jessica, right? Correct. Probably through SNL. I think maybe through the SNL talent department and maybe through IDPR, which was,

and Molly and Carrie are PR people maybe? And was this before or after Blake lively had hosted and done potato chip and all that stuff? This was after. So I think probably that was, that made that a much easier call. It wasn't after potato chip, but we did the not a great short with them. Like we did the, was she in the one with the James Franco one that we buzzed by? Yes, she wasn't the host. My tiny little ghost weiner.

Did she, yeah, did she come as just as a favor? Yes. But that's like, that would happen before, not potato chip was after. No, no, no, no. Potato Chip was a year earlier. Was it? Yeah, potato chip was 09 when she hosted. I just want to point out that Yoram just said the Murray Hill one was my tiny little ghost weiner.

I don't know why the word ghost got put in there, but it made me immediately like it more. Yeah. I know. You know what? It's in mind. It's always been better. Ghost we're in the improvement. Yeah.

The, I do believe, and Yorm, you can correct me from. wrong that when we met her, specifically to you, though, I think she was talking about that her and her brothers and sisters or siblings, I don't know that she has brothers and sisters, that they really like just two guys. Is that correct? Yes, I believe it's her brother. And as we've said on this pod, the short way to get into our hearts is to tell us that you, I mean, Andy married the first lady that called him Steve the cunt. And that's the quickest way to have us love you is that. And I think she had said that and that's why we knew. And I think I still have her brother's info.

Call them right now. In my phone. Put him on speaker. Put him on speaker. So, Yoram, I think with Blake lively, you just direct texted either her or her brother being like, hey, we're shooting a short. Would you come over and do it? Yes. That's right.

It was not through any reps. It was because of that. See, this is why you've got to train numbers with everybody, you guys. That's why you need 3,000 contacts. She came to us off the set of Gossip Girl. So she was even already in hair and makeup. I remember that. Oh, wow.

And just came straight to us and was so cool about it. delight. And was a delight. It was super fun. Understood exactly why everything was funny and did it. And Alba as well, obviously. Obviously. Yeah, well, Alba, though, we had never met.

It was just a shot in the dark, I think, of like, who could we get? Who would be amazing? And we just, maybe we got a list of people that were at least in New York City. Yeah. I don't know. And I remember Alba being, like, juice that she was like, wait, I'm not with Andy. This is even better. I want to be with a guy who's the writer on the show.

Yo, a bangers a banger, yorm. She was super game, and she was a joy. And obviously, you can just see from her performance that she did awesome. But also, it was crazy that we got both of them in this. And nobody S&L even knows. And then we just bust out a video on Saturday night. And all of a sudden it has these guests and all this stuff. It was rad.

It also just speaks to how much attention the shorts were getting in that moment, that not only would they want to do it, that everyone around them would be like, yeah, that you should. Right, right. It's pretty cool. It was a Christmas gift to all of us, you guys. Oh, thanks for putting it exactly that way, Seth. Yeah.

And also the fact that none of us had to go outside to watch it. I'm trying to remember what Brian Tucker said, but he came into the edit the way people always did, the way we talk about because we were just in that hallway. And he watched maybe the first 30 seconds when we were editing it, but we were only 30 seconds. Yorn, maybe you were there. But for some reason, it sticks out to me because we hadn't done something like this all year,

when he saw it, there was some really nice way he kind of basically said, there they are! Oh, shit! Like, as if it was reoccurring characters that hadn't appeared in a while, and here they were again. I don't think I was there for that particular moment. I like Tucker's sort of reoccurring role on this podcast as being the arbiter of when you guys have hit your peak. Yeah, truly. It's very true.

I would feel the same way when Tucker paid me a compliment on something I did. He never gave them away cheaply. Yeah. But when he gave them away, they were, they were enthusiastic. And it was the exact thing we were hoping people would say of like, oh, I liked them last time. A compliment from a deeply cynical person is more meaningful. Yeah. And afterwards, I remember this was the one where Lauren, between dress and air, said,

Give me some of that weed. Yeah. What that shit you'd be smoking? Give it to all the writers. It must be that boonic. Y'all puffin to cow. Y'all must have been. That's that cush.

Give it a cash out. Pass it around. Don't hog it. Why, y'all bull garden up in that weird hallway. Give it to the others. Y'all blowing bomb, bud? This popcorn tastes like fucking shit. It's too chewy.

I want to get blunted, my brother. You don't think I have five on it? Remember how he would never, he wouldn't stop saying right when he was stoned? He'd be like, right, right, right, right. By the way, right, right, right. By the way, our Lord impression just dipped off hard. I feel like it was better last week. It was more wine.

Yeah, yeah. It's good, but it doesn't work with the weed thing. It doesn't. You guys know, I only wanted to get the good weed. The talent department keeps giving me the banner weed. It's all seeds and sticks. Oh, did you smoke it all before I got here? No steps, no seeds, no stick.

I know, I wanted the sticky yicky. Yes, the California boys. It's all stems. The Californians actually came. from because he kept being like, bring me the Californians. And he thought he meant us. Oh my God. I call Green Rip.

Okay. All right. So Quaid Army, we are going to make this a two-parter. It is we've established the biggest short of all time. And we have had a lovely preamble to it. So before we get to the end of this episode, Jack Black, Take it away. Spelling bee.

Spelling bee. I quibbied clean. Yeah. Congratulations. And not only did I quibby clean. Huge. I quibed clean six days in a row. Is that right, Seth?

Wow. Yeah. I have had one hint in the last eight days or something. It's unbelievable. I'm on an absolute fucking tear, Yoram. And you love it. This sucks for me to hear because I stopped it nice. to it.

When Yorm gets nice, should we hear Borat go, nice? Yes, please put it in. Okay, Yom, you want to hit us with... Yoram, what did you get? I got nice today. Wow, wow, it's very nice. When we have Sam Azari Skiy on, which is going to happen, I would love, maybe for April Fool's Day, that when you get the first one, you hit high Yorm, is the level.

Yeah. It just says, hi, Yorm. and that's when you get one the first one. I see. Andy, somebody wrote this as like a challenge to you, but I feel like you kind of already do it. Can I just read it real quick? Yes, please.

I have a challenge for Andy. Achieve the level of Queen Bee by getting all the pangrams first. I feel like you do that. Every day. Yeah. Not every pangram first. I always start. If I don't get a pangram first, I don't even start.

Right. Okay. And then no hints, which you already do. And then they said, here's the kicker. No shuffle. But I feel like you don't need the shuffle. No, I always, I always end up using shuffle by the end.

Got it. Interesting. You have to use shuffle. That's just a crazy challenge. Okay. All right. I need to use shuffle. Just to like shake your head up.

Exactly. It just reveals things to you that are so obvious, but because of the order of the letters. You get into like a repetitive rut about how to make it. I feel like Yorm and I don't do that. And that's probably why we haven't been quitting with the same. Well, by all means, start using shuffle. Let's see what you got. Okay.

I didn't even know shuffle existed. Okay. Well, then you're really bad at the game. By the way, Yorm, I said to Andy, the other. other day because again, I feel I'm very good at this. I'm just not a savant like Andy. I got genius clean, no hints. And I told Andy that

and he just wrote back, you a yorm. Fuck, that's a good this. Just like, I'm so proud of myself. He's like, you're still just a yarm, bro. You a yorm. Yeah. I don't mind that. I don't mind that. Dude, but I buy fucking K trucks and fucking super mount, so you know my steed. I just hit the four foot binger

and now I can't stop coughing. Hey, I know the next one, but stop shaking my van. I feel all twitchy. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're kids in here. I'm happy for you guys. Stop shaking it. Wiley, let them see your face.

Let them see your face. They won't hurt a kid. Smush your face up against the tinted glass. Wiley. You guys, I got to go. All right. Next week, part two. Love you guys.

guys. Love you. Later Arnold. Later quades. Later, ghostface. Later quads. Later, Jack. Later quads.

Later, Jack doing Arnold. Later quads. Later, O'Brien. Oh, so you do remember my name.
