The Lonely Island It's a sports podcast. You are really happy you made it. You hosted a wedding at your house last night. We did. It was probably 120 people here last night. Was it hard to host a wedding with a phone that doesn't receive or send text? Oh, that's a great question.

Yeah, well, because people could just shout to me from across the yard. I see, I see, I see. So overall, the wedding's easier than a podcast is what you're saying. It's what we're getting at. Oh, yeah, deaf. Yeah. Most of. Because, like, we knew you hosted a wedding, but we were like, oh, it must have been maybe accidentally Yorm, like, threw his phone when they were supposed to throw a bouquet, and that's why we haven't heard.

I wasn't just hosting the wedding, so I was officiating the wedding as well. That's why I was distracted. Sure, sure, sure. Yeah, no. We were just looking for, like, a yay or nay of, is this happening or not? Just like a single solitary nod. And yet, here I am, and where doth Andy be? Yeah, no, that's a fair hit.

I mean, I think Keeve and I are in the clear how that works. He was texting with your wife this morning trying to figure out if you were doing the pod. Yes. I feel like, let's just make it clear. If that threshold gets crossed with Alexi, the pod's over. I was stumbling around the yard. Stumbling, shout up. Collecting all the fireworks that I blew up.

And then she was like, are you getting it on the pod? I was like, oh, yeah, I guess so. Right, right. And yet, be it handy. Yeah. Yes. But shout out to my cousin, Katie, and Will, who just got married, my new cousin Will too. That's great.

Wait, what did Forte do? Oh, well, Forte, who is not getting married, did, they had these little stations. They're a very creative couple, and they had these little stations that you had to collect stamps for. So there's five different stations, and there's one that there's this phone that you can pick up and leave a message for the couple,

and they're going to listen to it in like 30 years. I don't know why it was 30 years. I like it. I like it. And then, of course, I was like, it would be fun if we got, you know, somebody to send a little message to, like, explain it when you pick up the receiver.

And so, of course, Forte was the nicest man alive and was like, hello, this is Hollywood, Forte. Does Forte know them? No. So, Forte is basically like a human genie. You don't need to find his lamp and it's infinite wishes instead of three. Yeah.

Right? Like, basically, anything you ask Will Forte, you don't have to know him. You don't have to have, like, freed him from a lamp. He'll just basically give infinite wishes. He'll just appear and, like, talk to your grandma for a half an hour. Yep, there you go? Perfect. Sweet man.

Hi, Andy. Hi. Andy. Yorm, did I overhear you saying you beat me as I got on? Yeah, that was he's been. Yeah, well, you were late. But it was impressive because I didn't even know this was happening about 15 minutes. Why would you?

Yeah, yeah. Because you were non-responsive for four straight days. Hey, yo, I don't know if you are going to be surprised by this, but I don't even know where my phone is right now. He baked it into the wedding cake. Oh, no. And it's the end of the week, right? Like, this would be when your radar would go up like, oh, no, it's probably today. And Yoram, Keev had your back.

Keev was the one who was like, he's got a big old wedding at his house. He was trying his very best. I was defending. Guy number one fucking comes through. But I would say around 9 a.m. this morning, it became indefensible. Yeah, just because we did need to know. Genuinely indefensible. And I love you very much.

Okay. The thing that detracts from this is if you saw me lighting off like fireworks last night, like a little tipsy, you'd be like, well, fuck this guy. Well, this guy could have checked his phone once and just been like, I'll be there. But here's the thing, Keith. I did not know where my phone was at that point. Yeah, you still don't. You still don't. Well, thank you, Kamari.

Andy, did you, are you wrapped? No. Okay. How much more you got? A couple days. Yeah, three more days. Oh, three more. Three more days?

That's good. A lot of people thought Andy was in a great mood, the last podcast. A lot of people were like, oh, my God, episode 116 answers the question, how many of these we have to do before Andy likes it. That's not true. He hit that a while ago. It was a real one and done. I thought the last two episodes he was in a great mood. You were, have I made the opportunity that you were like Robert?

De Niro and Awakening's. They had a like brief moment where you were like catching baseballs and stuff. I kind of feel like me being in a good or not good move based on like the vibe and the pot is basically like I'm the Richard Dreyfuss and what about Bob?

I see you. Yeah. You know what I mean? And like if you're watching the movie, you're just like this poor fucking guy. But if you don't see what's happening. You're the Charles Groden and Clifford. No doubt about it. By the way. Three Clifford? Shout out Clifford. Is this pop now three Clifords.

Shout out Clifford. Go see Clifford. Definitely watch Clifford. Clifford, yeah, in theaters this weekend. Martin Shore, Charles Grotin. Martin Short, this is hilarious. He plays a small, like maybe a 13-year-old. I don't know what the target is. Younger.

Younger. Like a 10-year-old, 8-year-old. He's got a red sweater. It's amazing. You can't believe it's a movie. It's not good, but it's, well, I guess it's what you just said. There are moments of absolute inspiration. There's the algorithm every now and then serves me to see him where Charles Gruden is just telling him to act normal.

Yeah. And he can't make his face normal. It's really something else. He's like, be a human boy. Be a human being. Which is such a funny thing because they've cast a non-boy. So it's like almost like he's mad at the director. Can you just be a human being for one second?

And it's like Martin George's eyes just going, huh? Huh? So go see Clifford this weekend. Yeah, yeah. I'm pretty sure it's back in theaters this weekend. But you'll have to check your local listings. Yeah. Do yourself a full.

This is very exciting. I'm just going to get into it. You guys know I'm a gearhead. I'm pretty much reading Car and Driver first thing Sunday morning. New story dropped a couple hours ago. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? Has anybody seen this? Is it about my van? Here's the headline. A Lonely Island member bought this Sweet Dragon themed JDM Key Van. Oh shit. I was kidding. Full article in car and driver. What? About your van. No way. No, that's not true. It is very true. And here, I'll put it in the chat. And by the way, I thought it was just going to be like an aggregated article. That is not what this is. Like an AI one where they just kind of bullshit around.

Yeah, no, no. I'm giving out the inaugural Quaid of the week to Brendan McAleer from Carin Driver. Oh, they got, this is from the shop and everything. This is cool. This is like, I haven't even seen this photo. Whoa. Here, can I read you a few lines? Please.

It's a Japanese market, Kajedosha van, one of the ubiquitous little movers. Which can be identified by its righteous grill. Oh, shit. Wow. While doing press for Over Your Dead Body, a dark comedy directed by Tocconi, and released last month, he told the story of how he came to own the wacky little van.

Just a couple of days having an underground major surgery on his spine and pelvis while hopped up on heavy pain medications. He jumped on the internet and started browsing for JDM cards. Ordinarily, that'd be the seed of a terrible decision. What's funny than driving a tiny van around NYC, driving one that's entirely covered in a dragon-themed livery. That's truly cablamo.

Oh, this is sweet. That's a real fan. In this case, it's the kind of burrito-brained move that's endlessly pleasing to anyone who loves when the Lonely Island takes a silly concept or runs with it. I feel like my character on the pod is getting a little wackier than maybe I am in real life. Or maybe not.

Maybe this is who I am. This is amazing. Yeah, it's great. It looks awesome. That's so tight. Like, those pictures are rad. Somebody had one last shot out that I'm Surprised we haven't heard. Maybe we have, and I missed it.

Name for your van. Oh, what is it? Dieter van Kuntz. Oh, that's very good. Hard to argue. Dieter Van Kuntz. The Dwaygon wagon wagon. It's very good.

It can be Dieter van Kuntz, colon, the dwagon wagon. Yeah. I'm going to run through a few things before we get to Just Had Sex, Part 2. We do know, to our listeners, we do know what we're supposed to be doing. It's fine. It'll be in the title of the episode. They'll know from that. Yeah, that's true. Hey, Mitra Juhari. Am I saying that right, Andy?

Your co-starring Dignman. Yeah. She's so funny. Absolutely. Somebody said, did you notice Mietra was the special guest when Sarah Sherman was on good hang with Amy? So Mieter, like, did the calling and ask questions. Oh.

I don't listen to podcasts. Right, right, right. But people said, like, hey, I can't believe Mieter was on and Amy didn't mention Digman once. Yeah, what the hell, Amy? And it really was. Like, I didn't realize the rivalry was still disheeded. Yeah. That, like, Polar is just definitely trying to, like, back.

hang us at every turn. Yeah. She's anti-quade. I think if Andy ever starts listening to podcasts, we should stop doing this podcast. Oh, yeah. Well, he'll have a lot of notes all of a sudden. Yeah, all of a sudden, he'll go,

you know what other podcasts do? You know what they do is... They don't just ramble for 20 minutes. They'll, like, be on camera and make money. Andy missed it because Andy was shooting a movie, but speaking of Polar, me and Shoemaker. Ugh, I was so bummed. Saw Dratch, Maya, and Polar.

We were supposed to see Anna. and Anna got food poisoning midway through a show. Gastir. I had to go home. Gaster. That's why when you're on Broadway, whenever I'm on Broadway, I stick to the same meals every day.

I figure out what works, something really basic, like a tuna sandwich or something. Well, because you learn that from Piven. When Piven had to miss time with the sushi. That was from the mercury poisoning. You don't want to have a random lunch and then find yourself in the middle of Shmigadoon

wanting to take a... Shmiggoo. Tony Award-winning Shemak poop. Keith, you always say you got to watch your cheat when you're on Broadway so you don't know that broader. Oh, broader than Broadway. A la. The peak Broadway for me is being in a bar and having Dratch and Maya walk-in together post-show singing on Broadway.

Wow. And in a way, too, like, you can do it as loud as you want. Like, what person in a Broadway bar doesn't see the two of them singing on Broadway and just break into the biggest fucking grin? Yeah. That's what you hope happens every night. Yeah. That's winning. I thought you're going to say breakout in song with them.

Yeah, you might as well. I thought you were going to say the entire bar. Where was it? Was it a Sardis? Does Sardis still exist? It does, but it was a, well, we'll bleep it. Yeah. Okay.

You know what's not going to work really good for your, we love stronts or what's within your website? Yeah, yeah. I want stronts. Is that we bleep all the stronts? Yeah, should we put all the restaurants that we do, but the names are censored on every single one? Everything's blurred out. Yeah.

Full description of it. Pictures of the food, but the outside's blurred. Why do we gatekeep the stronts? I don't know why we're gatekeeping the stronts. You know what? Don't believe it. Let the world here when we went. I like it.

It's funnier to gatekeep the restaurants while operating like a Yelp that gate keeps the restaurants. Can I say where I went last night, thanks to Seth? Yeah, say where you went last night. My dear friend Sethley got me a table at one of the hardest stronts in all of New York, even though he wasn't in town. He helped me hook it up. Yeah. And obviously, we'll bleep this, but it was .

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and I genuinely, I cannot tell everyone on this pot and everyone listening just how happy I was to know I still had that pull. Damn right. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. I mean, again, it helped that it was like pulling for Andy. Like, I mean, I dropped your name as well.

And like, hit us in the titus, king of New York, Brunson or Myers? My son told me that he heard from a friend at school that now there's a bodega. sandwich called the Brunson because like a kid was interviewing him he told him what he gets a bodegas oh I don't believe this is true but it was told so what kind of sandwich at least some bodega it was like an everything bagel I think slathered in success you said hit us in the titus somebody did suggest it doesn't quite work as well but I appreciate that for pingas and the dingus oh I think that actually works quite well yeah we might have to start saying that well you have to say like you can't say ping us because ding it like well no actually

pingus and the dingus Pingus and the dingus. You just can't say dingus. Yeah, pingus and the dingus though. God, dingus, highly underutilized. Yeah. And I mean, if you're not using it, it might be lost to the world. But you got to use it right.

You know what I mean? Dude, and part of the reason why I was so excited for you to see the van is just to be able to use the word dinky with you because I just feel like you like that word a lot. It a dinky doodle. Yeah. It's a dinky doodle and it's carrying a little dinky doodle dandy. Uh, wait, I got some more before we're going to just had Seth.

Hold on. Oh, recipes. I just had Seth. That is exactly what it sounded like he said. It's weird to say your own name by accident. Like, I never would be like, by accident, call one of you, Akiva. That's like the one way I wouldn't slip. Do you think, well, there's only one person who could do it, but I don't want to, like, talk about your personal life.

But do you think your wife after she borks you sings I just had Seth? Oh, yeah. Probably quietly. Like, hums it. In between sobs, you think she's singing. Held is your youngest, Seth? My youngest is four and three quarters. So four years ago, do you think she's saying that?

Yeah, four years and nine months. Four plus three quarters plus nine months. Oh, double three quarters, I was five and a half. That's good math. Yeah. Taking back, I do remember her in the shower, humming. Bringing back into my mind palace, my memory mind palace? Yeah.

And that was the last time, yes. Can I tell you a very, my favorite, like, economy words comment this week was, I just had Shrex. It's on for the listeners. Three Shrecks. If any quades want to, not using AI, or whatever,

make a hut rod poster. Job of the Hut in Hutrod. Oh, sure. We'd love to take a look at that. Mike O'Brien, kind of the MVP of last week's pod. Oh, fuck. Did you hear as he added a goodbye at the end, too?

I was told and then checked it out, yeah. Very funny. So I do remember him. Yeah. And somebody said, I feel like Andy is just learning O'Brien is a real person and not his Tyler Durden. That's right. Oh, I was going to say, rest in peace in Sheedon, who played the mom of elf. It's very sweet how many people reached out to the pod.

Oh, yeah. Like a very funny lady, Chavez he was great on Alf. So a sincere rest in peace. Yes, and we recorded last week's before that transpired, obviously. And what's your voice note? I don't know. Jeff said that Greg Chun had sent something in, so whenever he does, it seems worthwhile to give it a listen. Yeah, let's do it. You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you?

Hey, shitsticks, it's Alf. Now, I was a little myth the first time you had to go with me and Max, but I get it. It's the business. You're doing your thing, but you had to bring that shit up again, and now I'm fucking pissed. And while we're at it, what did you lay off Max, all right? He had a rough go at it. He was a good man, and sure, he may have spooked a little in a kreck in a k-hows or fucked a dick or two for money,

but that doesn't give you the right to turn him into a fucking pariah. Hey, go fuck yourself. This is your last warning, all right? Don't you ever talk shit about me on your show again, or I swear to God I will come down there and gouge out your eyeballs and shit little alien turns out to your smockets. I don't remember Al cursing so much if you broke something. But rest in peace, Anne.

That was in her honor. Really good timing. That was a spot on Alf, unsurprisingly. Yeah, he's very good. Guys got the fast. I kept waiting for him to say the word Willie. I just feel like you have to say Willie. Willie.

Yeah, but he was the real life Alf, not the Alf from the show. Correct. Yeah, the actor, Alf. Alfred. Wait, have you guys not actually seen the outtakes of Alf cursing constantly? It's pretty funny. Yeah, it's on the YouTube.

Yeah, it's on the tube. Somebody added a timestamp to the last week's episode, And it was helpful because I think I just had sex, maybe some fresh ears showed up to the pod because it's such an iconic short. And so they said, for the quades, start at zero minute, zero seconds. For the pod virgins, 24 minutes, 54 seconds. That's how long it took before we got to business. And they were like, that's when you're not just fucking super confused by the shit they're talking about. All right, we are now into part two, just had sex.

And I have three comments that are specific to the short. But as I'm reading it, it's specific to any of your songs. Question about beats. When you get set beats by others, are you given some period of time to review and claim them? Or are they sent around to a bunch of people at the same time? Is there ever concerned that someone else might be working on a song with the same beat? Or is there a time once you start developing a song that you can claim rights to a beat?

Maybe so many beats are circulating any given time. This is never concerned. That's a great question. And I don't know the answer. Keeve, you want to take it? Yeah, Keith. Yeah, we are concerned. And we definitely, when we start working on one, try to contact the producer immediately to put a hold on it.

Gotcha. And have first dibs. And we have gotten into situations in the past where we start on one, call the producer and find out that someone has beaten us to the punch. Or the most interesting example is on Pop Star with Karate Guy, where we had fully put it on hold, gotten through a version of the song. and then it had taken so long to put it out because we were making a whole movie that the producer had maybe forgotten. I mean, we weren't mad at them.

They just were like, oh, shit. So anyways, there was a song, and it has Lil Wayne on it, but it's from a different artist, but I'm blanking who it was at this exact moment. But anyway, so there are two songs out there. Somebody's going to find it for us, and it's Karate Guy, and it's the exact beat from Karate Guy.

And the way theirs was way ahead of us, and the way that the producer and everybody, gratefully made it work for us, is if you look at the credits of karate guy, it's as if we sampled their song, this Lil Wayne song, even though really we both all worked off the same beat. Yeah, the beat at the same time,

but since his went out first, you had to make it see what you sampled it. Yeah, that it was like we had sampled this song. Gotcha. And when you sort of plan a flag on a beat, just to go back to our listeners question, like, what is the timeline that a producer will give you? Or is it kind of like a good faith thing of like... You start working out, I think, the deal.

Like, if this song does, does end up getting released. Here's what will pay you for it. Got it. And here's how many percentage points if we're going to share some of the ownership or whatever it is,

all the details. So they know, so there gets to be a contract in place. And then they can, I guess, put a time limit on it, but I don't think we usually do because it just takes so long for stuff to come out sometimes.

But they are being sent to many, many artists all over the world, probably. And I mean, a lot of these producers that we're sort of fucking with are very high-end producers.

So I don't know if it's like, very selective of who they go to or like, but... But it's never... There was never a case where producers is like, hey, Lonely Island, here are 20 beats I made for you guys, and I love you to. Sometimes. Sometimes.

Sometimes. If we've developed a relationship, we... Or we put the word out through our reps, like Lonely Island are recording, looking for songs, and sometimes we'll get tracks from people being like, Lonely Island, demo one, demo two,

and it's just... It's ones that they made, they got inspired by hearing that we were looking for beats. And sometimes we'll actually put the feelers out to be like, we wanted to be big in it. anthemic and it's very rare that we do this but like we have done it once or twice and then the only other beat that I can remember that was I think for yolo B-O-B I think had claimed that beat and then we had to like sort of negotiate like of can we have it because we really love it I think it's pronounced Bob B-O-B I'm just kidding I'm just I like it I like when Andy like just mid B pops up for a zinger oh no I'm long done with the B I'm not going to say what happened in the end, obviously, that's what everyone's waiting for.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I've been trying to figure out what the fucking Wayne song was. It's so weird, though, because randomly the little Wayne song was also called karate guy, but it was a totally different premise. He didn't like to kick it. Oh, interesting. Same title, totally different premise. Interesting.

Mr. Dobelina. Who does Mr. Dobelina? Dell, the Funky Homer Sabe. Yes, Del. I'm so impressed you knew that, Seth. It came on, like, a mix, like a hill pop mix I was listening to yesterday and it's so much fun. I can't believe you know that song.

Genuinely really, this is so, so fun. Bob made me think of it because it is pronounced Bob. All right. So we're about to watch. We have not watched. I just had sex. But one listener wrote in, Quaid said,

I searched for the song and watch it in preparation for part two. And YouTube's first video result was an ad for a June 25th James Taylor concert. So according to the market group of Live Nation, If you like the Lonely Island, Acon, and parody raps about intercourse, you will love the harmonically rich and intricate melodies of sweet baby James. I think that's true. How many, you guys did two shorts with James Taylor? I can't remember. So, I believe it's Why I Do It by August Alcina. Oh, August Alcina.

Yeah, I think I found it. Why I do it. Yeah, yeah. Why I do it. This is why I do it. Boom, bum, boom, boom, boom. This is right away. Say beat. One, two, three, four.

Oh, go gris. Oh, go gris. That's who did the beat. I don't think that's real sky. Let's mash it up. I like to kick it. I'm a karate guy. Hi-yo.

Hi-yo. This is my karaoke song. Adding my little animation to any video is such an upgrade. And when I say kick it, I don't mean using your foot. It's not actually the line that had to fuck up our own lyrics. No, you're fine. Do you think they turned on each other when they heard a karate guy because it was so much better? Why didn't we just do that?

I told you. August Alcina could have easily been. been like, no, that's my beat. They can't use it. Like, I'm sure it had to get all the way to him to have him say, oh, yeah, that's fine. Let them do it. Because it would be completely within his rights to not let us sample his song, essentially, to make a whole new song. For sure. Do you think Monty from Universal Republic had to, like, get on the phone and be like, you gotta. You gotta let the guys. Please, August.

I mean, the real question now is, will he be rewarded in this moment and get a massive quump? Yeah. Is there going to be a quump on the song Why I Do It, featuring Little Weim? Would you say he's an august gentleman? Is that something you'd say? Yes. Yes. Both of you. Yeah, both of you,orm and I, yes.

Keev would. No, Keev would never. No, that's not in my purview. He wouldn't dare. Support comes to Willie's remedy. Are you tired of waking up, hungover, and worrying about what happened last night? Yes. Well, guess what?

Guess what, not to be named ad co-reader? You can have fun and relax without any of the regrets with Willie's THC-infused. social tonic. Ooh. Yeah, it's an alcohol alternative that actually works. It's uplifting. Do you like that? Yes.

Euphoric? Oh. Yeah, it's a buzz you can really feel without any of the negative side effects. I love a buzz. Well, that's great. It's inspired by Willie, Willie Nelson's way of living where peace flows freely and hangovers her thing in the past. Willie Nelson's the shit.

This is something I can get behind. It's a low-calorie, low-sugar, alcohol alternative that actually works.

All right, let's, I'm so excited. This is just had sex. Sorry. Did you not want me to do it? No, go ahead. Sometimes something beautiful happens in this world. You don't know how to express yourself, so you just got to sing. Look at that beautiful sunset.

That roof. Look how worth it was. That roof. Look how worth it it was. We got there exactly at the right time of day. Anybody else would assume we're on a green screen at this point. This is not music video looks. Look at my hair.

I'm wearing a sweater vest. Not to wet the palate anymore. It's still te. 10x better than I wish it would rain, which will be my favorite rooftop shop. Fourthcoming. But here, let's start where we stopped, which is it's the coldest day of the year in like 12 years. And Yorm and I's faces are frozen. Frozen solid.

Mine is bright red, and that's after the color correct. Yeah. I remember I always have my shot list when I'm directing with a pen in my pocket, and I take great joy in crossing off shots as we get them. And I remember taking off my glove. and I couldn't get my hand too right. Like, it was frozen. It couldn't hold the pen.

Literally could not hold it. I wish that segment could begin with Burl Ives as that claymation snowman from Rudolph being like, Oh, yeah. Now remember, it was the coldest day. No, it is not a music video looked out. Like, we're wearing the wackest earmuffs. Every time I see it, I'm like, maybe it would have been worth it. Just, like, really picked the shots and, like, take them off for one second.

It's all so crazy because it looks kind of like green. screen. Like the fact that we're on top of the MetLife building. That's what I mean. Anything else, this would be

a big LED screen or a green screen behind you showing this. But we're just, that's just a real shot. Can I just say one thing? I busted you guys for the earmuffs and a couple quaid said,

like the earmuffs add to what makes it work so well, which is you guys are like dorky. Right. Definitely dorkier than him. Like it's a reminder you guys aren't like the fucking bone squad. That's true.

You guys who were like probably had sex once and you still wear earmuffs. Yeah, that's fair. And that, you know, We did kind of want to split the diff. Yeah, it's good diff split.

Thank you so much for saying that. Yeah, you're welcome. Best smile on the planet, this dude. Fuck, Chrysler building right behind us, so cool. Yeah, also, shh. The Chrysler building are famously kind of litigious that they own the rights to their building being in stuff. You think that they're going to sue us now?

Should we just throw in a quick ad so they don't burn us? A Chrys the Pacifica. Hey. That's what we were talking about. Pretty good minivan. Yeah, yeah. That's smart. We just paid for it right.

there. So the other thing I remember... You're just noticing how fucking cold my face looked. Yeah, I'm just looking at Andy. Me and Aitcon look very happy. Andy looks like he's going to kill himself. I mean, absolute agony. It's just 10 below zero. It's like somebody just told Andy,

you know, in 15 years you're going to be talking about this on a podcast. Yeah. He's like, oh, no. He's like, no. Look, you can see that. What I assume is the Hudson, but I don't know which way we're facing. Smoke stacks looking dope. Yeah.

But the other thing I remember, so we're up there. Obviously, we're blasting you guys with lights, and these are big, heavy lights. And it's so windy and freezing. They're like, we can't have anything above, like, five feet up because it could blow off the building and kill people down below because we are on, again, I think at the time, the second highest building in all of New York City. Yeah. And, you know, you can't have anything flopping off the side. And we had had plans to have things way up high to make things look different. I don't remember what.

And this is getting towards the other things I had to go away up high were Andy Yorma and Akon, which we will get to in a second. Can I just say it does seem like the making of this is like the negative image to the sensation of having sex.

Yes. It's also weird in filmmaking where sometimes you feel like people are being like nervous Nellas and you're like, it's fine. This was like, yeah, don't put the lights up high. It was like, this is so dangerous.

It felt scary. I mean, look, They're at the edge of the building here. That just happened. It's not okay. There they are. They can barely move. I like seeing this one because we can really see.

So we built a platform so that you guys would be higher, which also feels dangerous because if you go to the back of that, now you're over the balcony railing. That's correct. That's... Ill-advised. Ill-advised. I can't believe they let us do it to tell you.

A big gust of wind would have been our end. I'd love to look at a fan edit of this where, every time it cuts to a three shot, your arm blows away. Now, Keith, the editing and the energy of this really works and feels really intentional. But correct me if I'm wrong,

Acon's face was so cold, he couldn't move his mouth to do the lyrics. So we had to really fudge together each shot to get like the shape of words. And then anytime he's not on camera, we don't have it, right? Yeah. In the chorus.

Every time he wasn't on camera, you put his head in the microwave? Was that way? There was a little, like, you know, on a roof where there's the top of the stairs where there's one door where you can pop out. There was that, and he would run back into it between each every take.

To answer your question, Andy, correct. And I recall, this was one of the earlier videos when cameras got to be 4K instead of 2K. Yes. In terms of the quality. We pop in. We are, like, shooting in full 4K, but the show just, you know,

broadcast set HD, so we don't need 4K, ended up being one spectacular take of Acon, where he hit it all. And we end up using that for almost everything, cutting in and out of that same one to make it feel like coverage and energy. Well, and just to get nerdy for a second, HD quality is just under 2K, is that right? So basically the math is that if you bump in from 4K to, like, you double it, you're still at 2K.

Yeah, we're still at full quality. As long as the focus was. tack sharp. Yeah, you can blow it up 200% and still be at full quality. Not to split hairs you're in, but 4 minus 2 or 4 divided by 2 is not that nerdy. Well, no, but we're just talking to...

I feel like it's pretty standard. The math is pretty... It's tricky stuff. I just mean it's still talking about math. Well, HD is a little below 2K. That was where you were crossing it. Yeah, that's the interesting part. All right, we opened with seven minutes on your on your tiny tiny wrapped van. It's like, hey, we might get a little nerdy. Fair do's, my brough.

My mate, my brough, fair do's. Oh, that's so cool. Cross the pond. And sex, I have it felt great. It felt so good. We're down in Soho, I believe. Or maybe Tribeca, but probably Soho. And just a cool apartment they found that we got to,

like a loft that we just got to use. And it was cheap because there was no heat and no windows. Both me and Andy in this video are heavily caked in makeup. Yeah, he looks crazy right there. Yeah, I look crazy in this video. Never been happy about it. It was that one first setup. It was way too much.

It was someone we hadn't worked with before, and it made me look like I had plastic surgery or something. We loved working with these music video crews legitimately because we were so used to scraping by at S&L where we were still operating within the cracks of S&L, nothing like how it is now. So to have dedicated crew to us was always so exciting, but it meant that we were working with people we didn't know

who might do something like that. I think it's possible that I was, like, lightly sick and or hungover or tired or something, and they were trying to fix that. Yes, I think you were. Yeah, you look like you might have a cold to me. I think it's highly likely considering we're on the roof that met life building in negative 20 degrees. And Andy has like no defenses against colds. No, you know I'm a fragile little flower, especially back then. This, though, I do remember being totally comfortable.

It was like just being in a really nice apartment. Yeah, it was awesome. It was a big space. Yeah, we shot both of the bedroom scenes here. Yeah, we just kind of turned around and used the other side of the same room. I did it with my penis. A girl let me do it. It literally just having sex can make a nice man out the meanest.

Okay. How did that happen? It was the day of the show, I think. So we've got John McEnroe being the before is he's the meanest, and then he turns into a nice man with two thumbs up. That's right. How? It's for people.

What don't you get? What can you follow? A lot of people listen on audio. Andy, sorry, I forgot we're new to this. I'm explaining it for the people of that. Well, also, you just skipped past Blake's first shot. Well, we talked about Blake last week a lot. We did.

It was a funny little idea, though, where I'm coming in singing and she realizes I brought a music video into our bedroom and quickly covers up, which I think is funny. Oh, yeah, let's see that. This girl, let me do it. It literally just happened. Brought a music video into our bedroom. He's like, what the fuck, yeah.

That is a surreal moment. It is, you're right. You think she's a real. She wants to share with the world that she just had sex, but it turns out she doesn't. Yeah, she doesn't think that should be public. And this song is you are talking to the camera and telling us that you had sex. So she is like, you clearly brought her like a reality crew in. Yeah.

Hey, so it just happened, everybody. Here's the girl. Not a chill move. This is Megan. But yeah, McEnroe, I mean, I'm sure it was just we were thinking about who the meanest is, right? Or who would play as someone who's known. for being angry. How did it actually happen?

Because occasionally we put the feelers out to be like, you know, if you're around a crew, like, can you just get us this shot real quick? No, I guarantee you it was through S&L talent and he was in New York and he just came down and we shot him on a greenie game. But did we actually shoot? We definitely shot him at 30 Rock.

Gotcha. So he just came by S&O. And that was the first of a few times we collabed. Yeah. Do you think you were doing Never Have I Ever Voiceover together? Must have been then. Or seven days in hell. Oh, right.

He plays heavily in seven days in hell. In theaters now. He is the best. Yeah, I'm seeing Clifford and Seven Days in Hell double feature tonight at my local driving. And me, I'm just going to binge and never have A ever again. For those that don't know, McEnough does the voiceover of the main character who is a teenage girl. And then Andy guests for a boy that's on the show, a teenage boy, and he becomes his voiceover kind of like conscience, whatever you want to call it, like his narrator for his episodes. Yeah.

Love that show. Lang Fisher, that's the homie. My kids loved it. They've watched the whole series more than once. And the best part is that when really emotional or huge climax scenes, no spoilers, but there's a scene where people are going to lose their virginity and it's under a poster for pop star. So whenever they're watching it and really into it, then they get taken out of it because it's the poster with all three of our faces. And I'm going to go, hey, I'm right above them. That's me. I'm right above them. I know this is shouting myself out, but really I just want to shout out Mindy, who, friend to all.

there's a poster of me in the dorm room of one of the characters on sex lives of college girls. Is that true? Yeah, that's how you know it's Game of Thrones type fantasy that a college girl would have a late night with Seth Myers poster. But it meant a lot to me because I really... Oh, that's awesome. I really like that show. Great deal. Well, congrats, Seth.

You just ruined it for us. Yeah. I guess I won't be watching that one. They put everyone up on the walls in those shows. Yeah. And also, by the way, at least Popstar had a poster. Like, I don't even think, like, you can get a late night with Seth Meyer's poster. I'm going to look that up.

Yeah, you were like, can I get one of those? Yeah, if you've got a prop department, you can get one of those. All right, yeah, this is a funny shot of Blake. Continuing. Just having sex can make a nice man out the meanest. Never guess where I just came from I had sex. If I had to describe the feeling, it was the best. So we got Alba.

Alba. That's a good freeze frame. She's not into my sex moves. Straight up blessing us. Yeah. It's a really good chat. You both look great. Thumbs up, thumbs down.

So, yeah, you're walking through, is that the edge of Central Park? No, this is lower down in the city. I feel like we, like, jumped out and got this. Yes, we did not. There was not a lot of planning. We knew that that was a really flexible one. It's the one in the treatment that we were like, nope, we did that somewhere else. And just, I can't say again for a music video, you rarely see the city this gray and wet.

And empty. There's not another human being in it. Just empty, gray, wet. just like muted colors. And then I'm just popping off the frame. It's also funny because those are my clothes.

The fact that we had like an actual music video crew and then this is just... Yeah, you're just wearing your clothes. I'm just like walking to work. And it's so... And just to get back to what Seth said, last episode, the overview.

We want this to look and feel like a real ACON video. I don't remember the ones where he's walking around like just a damp dart the city. happy and fun yeah close enough yeah they're usually more in like Turks and Caicos or something you know

yeah sure at least Miami this looks like a German television show this does looks like he's he's in Frankfurt it does look very Eastern block but like not on film this is like how they used to do TV behind the Iron Curtain yes it just looks like he's doing a travelogue show

he's like in Frankfurt any day you can walk around If you go in early December, you can get a reservation. Exactly. It's not the tourist time. You see the streets are empty, and it's quite cold. It's also like, here's how to buckle your seatbelt on the airplane. Exactly.

It was nice with these long, one-er steady cam shots because as soon as we got them, we're like, okay, good. Because right, doesn't this follow into meeting my parents? Yeah, let's see what this whole shot is. I mean, I had the sex, man, my penis felt great, and I called my parents right after I was done. I mean, I think that's basically like a warner of like, I do that whole little verse. We obviously have all the little cutaways from all different places. And you think we're just doing the punch-in trick on that and not even, do we think we did a close and a medium? Yeah, I mean, this punch-in was obviously a separate location.

She looks pretty German as well, my mom. Yeah. And that building behind you could easily. Yeah. Nobody has that shirt in Germany. It's a dude's shirt. No. It's not happening in Germany.

That's how I know. That's how I know this is fake. This is not a German television show. And Yoram, just because we're freeze-framed on the end of this parents shot, you feel like maybe you're a little too handsy with both of them? This was a different era, Andy. Let's screen grab this. Let's screen grab this. And if you were in the game in early odds, was this too hansy?

I remember it cost like $30,000 to put all those beetle juice trees behind you. but we thought it was important for the story you spent the money on you'd be in the Beatles' use trees It just fit the vibe so well Oh hey didn't see you there Guess what I just did had sex Why are you coming out of the women's room

Had sex in the bathroom You're just finding day in a life He's been out of the bathroom It's implied in the song Also, why are you in the same outfit as your almost identically Because we're just two regular guys. They can't believe our luck.

We knew if you doubled up the clothes for the same look, you would have money for treats. By the way, again, these are my actual clothes 100%. That was my flannel and jacket. Can't speak to the T-shirt. Are we implying, though, that you had sex in the bathroom in this shot? Yeah, and are we in a Starbucks, like, proper, or is this just the cafe? I think we might be in a Starbucks. Yeah.

That's a real Andy face. Blake's really selling that, too. Yeah, I look like the Grinch. Oh, Alfred Hark makes an appearance. Yeah, yeah. With a hairnet. This is my flipping copies, you know, just as important time on a boat as the non-performing third member.

Except for I'm still a scrub too. You look cool as shit. I mean, because we don't do a wide of the cafe, the idea that, like, you came out of the bathroom and wore the baristas or whatever. behind the counter, it's like a Starbucks, is kind of lost. Yeah.

Was that the intention? Yeah, because otherwise, why are me and Yorme dressed like that out of nowhere? Yeah, we're at the coffee shop. We're there. We're behind the counter here. And I think if you could let this shot go a little longer, you're making your way over revealing us standing there.

And then Yorm starts his line. Yes, and I think it just, in editing, it's one of those things where we were like, oh, it took too long, it never quite matched enough of the energy. Fuck it. Just cut it. Well, then we go back to Blake, probably. Right, right.

That was probably the moment. when it revealed us. And you're like, do we want to do this neat shot or do we want to get more of Blake lively in the video? And the answer is clear. It's confusing on two levels, though, because are we implying that he had sex in the bathroom, too? Oh, hey, didn't see it today.

I think that's the start of it is we are implying. So you had sex twice? It's a new verse, yeah. Whoa. Well, okay, so now that's hell of interesting. I think that the whole song is celebrating one sexual encounter. So it's the same sex, and now he's just like continuing the thought. but also during Yoram's verse and the chorus,

he went to the bathroom, and now he was picking it back up. Yeah, the women's room. I don't know. So maybe my thing is you're actually such a dork that you have had sex and now you got like a little bit of brain flog and you accidentally walked into the women's bathroom. Brain flog? Fuck, I was hoping nobody caught it.

I just had Seth with my brain flog. All right. Stumbling. Hashtag Stumbling. Are you at her house or your house? You know? I think. Just asking because of this kind of bear and sea horse or giraffe.

Giraff, yeah, giraffe with a bandage on its neck. Yeah. Yeah. And the otter or bear here is getting an idea. Save it for your art podcast. Okay. This is in Central Park? Central Park, yeah.

Now, did you think we went to Central Park being like, oh, let's go to this? Or did we just go and go, we'll find something? That would be a question for you. Did you scout it? If not... I think we loosely scouted this area and the little stage area that's... right near here, the little, like, a clamshell. Do you think you were like,

should we go somewhere where maybe some hobos have a fire and an oil drum? It's for heat? This is classier than that. Look how classy this looks. During the day, it wasn't as bad. Like, you were literally like,

it's so cold, let's get out of the cold. It's normal, like, New York at its coldest here, though, as opposed to at night. Well, because, yeah, right, you came down from the heavens. Yeah. But, yes, this location obviously has been shot before, but the ceiling is so fucking rad.

Yeah, the production value of just that it's a place you can just walk to in New York. Keith, what is the name of our steady cam dude who's so fucking rad? Steady Phil. Oh, Steady Phil. Yeah, of course. Steady Phil.

Like, Steady Phil, our steady cam up was fucking incredible and he would do these insanely long takes. This would be full steady cam, like for, you know, four minute shots that he would, yeah, very, very handy. We couldn't have gotten through this without him. Definitely.

Keith, what was his last name? I don't know. No, his first name is steady. His last name's Phil, right? That was my recollection, but then I feel like Keith was like, no, that's not right. Dina or Rachel will tell us

I mean we really did it with the Irish bar Our Armageddon shots Nobody's enjoying it not yet No no they're watching it like they're watching a news They're in awe They're watching a news story about like Armageddon That's gonna Yeah there's an asteroid headed towards Earth

Was the tone we were giving everyone You're like okay now act like you're seeing the craziest Like earth shattering news To be honest Stop surprised she even wanted me to do it Doesn't really make sense But man screw it I ain't want to all

Why are you guys having a spa day just treating yourselves? We deserve it. It's a celebration. Because we're so happy. Yeah, it's like, now we got a dish. Yeah, yeah, great look. It's very nice. Keep working that petty.

Keep working the petty. Keep working the petty and his aviator. Yeah, yeah. I think that's Yorm's foot, right? Or is that my foot? I can't tell. I think that's mine. Hit us in the titus whose foot you think that is.

Yeah, Zingus and the dingus. Was that what it was? Right. Let us noses and the toesus. It wasn't Zingis in the dingus. No, it's pingus in the dingus. Pingus in the dingus. Zingus works too.

Yeah. But Ping makes sense because Ping is, you know. Yeah, Pingus, yeah. Now, these people... Time Square. There's no way we had this many extras. They're watching us get petties. Are some of these people normal tourists?

Yes, they are, because I remember that we actually just collected people. Yeah. And then we got, like, NDA... Yeah, like, we started doing it with, like, a core group. And then as more people... come over to just looking at, we'd be like, no, no, come get in the shot, just get in. So you're all looking up at this billboard like it's news. And so these are just people that were in Times Square. And let me just say, shout out to Times Square, because if you said to a casting

person, give me a diverse group of people, you could not do better than this random group of people that was in Times Square when you were shooting. Just all there in the tickets line for Broadway shows. And they all did it. Like none are looking down the lens or anything. Yeah, they're all really good. Yeah. I also really like that what they're looking at in Times Square is me and you're in a spa with little robes and towels are. Like the most mundane. Is that like a mundane conversation? They're like, we have to stop everything we're doing to check out this news,

this hot gossip being told. Oh, this is intriguing. I mean, in the minds of these guys, it's this worthy, you know? The news is this worthy. It's also interesting that we didn't put like a ticker on the bottom, like as if it was a news story, like dorks have sex or whatever. That we should have done. Yeah, missed op.

Because there's no audio in Times Square. Yeah. You can't hear what the TVs are doing. Yeah. So they're just glued to your faces talking there. Like, these guys are saying something. Yeah. It's a missed op.

And speaking of ops, Keith, you got a message for your ops? Maybe like, hey, I'm all right. Okay, great. Let's jump back in. We got the Adams family. We got Jersey Boys. We got Wicked. I mean, these is...

Yeah, I was going to say shout out to Jersey Boys and Wicked. I think both still running. This could be today. These are all very popular things. Good for them. And even up top on the ticker, it says, over monetary tightening. That seems like something that can be on a ticker in Times Square.

This thing's ever green. I don't know the whole story, but... The best 30 seconds of my life. I'm so humble by a girl's ability to let me do it. Because honestly, I'd have sex with a pile of manure. With that and girls' bed of a slag. Did we build that spot? Was that in the...

No, it was a location. Yeah, we just went to a nail salon and then obviously smoked the hell out of a room. Oh, is we trying to make it look like we're doing like a schvitz? Yeah, yeah, like a steam room. We're no longer at the Mani Petty. No, you've moved on. Copy you.

I like to go from a shot like us in a steam room to then you sitting in bed next to a pile of manure. Yeah. It's not like a great look. It's, yeah. I remember the steam room because it was really decidedly not one. It was just like a white bench pushed in front of a white wall. And we were just like, we can make it work if we just. Yeah, that's what I mean.

Like I thought that we built it a little bit or something. Our first of two steam rooms in our videos, right? Because isn't there one in Yolo? Yeah, with all the piranhas. That's more of a sauna. That one we built. Yeah, that was a build. Yeah, you can actually see the door handle behind you.

And was the pile of manure a build or was that pre-existing? We're just in a hall of somewhere. Look, that's just a door. You wouldn't have a door in a steam room. I would. How else are you going to get out? Burd you, good point. Guess what?

I'm in the future. You just burned to death. Just died of dehydration. Put a door in there. steamroom. Fuck it is yet. Not behind you. That's an all-white one.

It's a nice glass one. You got to have too in case somebody puts a broomstick through the handle. That's right. That's right. Anyway, Keev, message for your ops. Just like, hey, give me another shot. All right. Let's keep going.

Manor. Maybe the climax of the video. Manua. That's definitely the first time he's saying. Everybody in the club say, that's where they drop out of the sound in the club. So everybody yells manure. Yeah. So everyone can sing manure.

Look how good nature it is. Album's not even out yet, right? So we're selling the yet unseen album cover. Yeah, this is like doing the Santana DVX and I'm on a boat where it was sort of like referencing ourselves. This is the moment the look became iconic. This is the beginning. Now, of course, it is everywhere.

You can't imagine what it was like the night. they first saw. My pecks are looking not great. It is the classic turn like and chain look, but the sunglasses are more space hog. Yeah. I was trying to put a term that would fit to it, but you know that.

Spacehog. Yeah, we all remember Spacehog. Yeah, we look way cooler. Yeah, all right, Andy, you can pick anything. Favorite Spacehog song all time. Ooh. Ooh. But, can you say, what the title of that song is?

He's got that funky little bass line in the beginning. In the meantime, rub me up. Right? Yeah. And the sun in skies are blue. Beep, bo, beep. Space hog. Oh, they have a bunch of snorts in there.

In the meantime, yeah. It goes, beep, boop, beep. Spacehog. Oh, that's them pushing the space buttons. Remember when this aired and everyone was like, I can't believe you got space hog in your video? This is a total left turn, but I have a friend who will sometimes say, I'm going to surprise you in New York City.

And the way you will know I'm surprising you is you will hear the beginning of, in the meantime, by space. And he once did it where he came, we were in Chicago right after we graduated. He goes, and he, like, called his shot. This is how it's known in the lure where he's like, I'm going to get every one of you. And I was like, in my apartment with a roommate who didn't know him. And all of a sudden I heard that song. And I was like, why are you playing that song?

He's like, I've always liked it. And then literally this dude tapped me on the shoulder. That's so dope. Wow. Yeah. That's really good. Yeah. Shout out to Doug Stradley.

Support comes from NPR. NBR believes you're right to be curious and ask questions like, who's really behind that decision? How is that thing that happened going to affect my life? And why would anyone in the right mind name a podcast? Wait, wait, wait, wait, don't tell me. Wait, wait, don't tell me is NPR's weekly news quiz that brings together today's funniest comedians and a celebrity guest for a send-up of the week's news. I did it once. One of the

great days of my life. On Wait, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, host Peter Sagle, and a rotating cast of comedian panelists turn the week's headlines into punchlines. When they say celebrity guests, they mean the it people, the A-list. Everyone from Justice Katanji Brown Jackson to Chapar to Gwar have come on to play.

It's not Spacehog. It's the verve. Bitter Sweet Symphony. When Jonah Hill hosted, he wrote a sketch that didn't go to dress where it was just him and some friends and they'd rented a stretch limo for the night. And they're like, it's going to be the best night ever! And then they start playing Bitter Sweet Symphony

and then it keeps cutting to later and later in the night and the CD is stuck. It just keeps playing Bitter Sweet Symphony over and over again. And they start going crazy. And every time I hear that song, about that sketch that didn't happen. It's okay, though. I'm looking at Spacehog.

It's a little Spacehog, too, glasses-wise. The glasses, yeah. But we're fine. We're goofs. You guys are thinking that Spacehog is about, like, someone who takes up too much room?

Like, you're hogging all the space as opposed to beep boops, snor-snort? I think that's a different band. It's a real problem on the subways. Right. This guy's a total spacehog. Look at this space hog. And when they spread their legs,

they're like, ooh-e-h-h. That's like the noise it makes as they slish. They put their bag on the seat. They almost called the band Man Spreader. Right. Exactly.

The best is how much we talked about Spacehog, and then Andy was like, oh, wait, it's the verb. No. The glasses are decidedly Spacehog-esque. Okay, got it, got it. Made with Gahouli and craftsmanship. There we go. Did SNL do this effect for us? No memory.

They did a great job. Iconic frame, if you're on YouTube. Yeah. Aconic frame. The skywriting. Also, not green screen, which is crazy, because it just looks very much like it is, but it isn't. No, everything's real.

Yeah. Was that one actually on the shot list, or did we come up with that one on the day? Yeah, did we just get that shot? I think we got it on the day. We might have also just reframed a big wide shot and made it all sky and then done it later. No, I think we knew it.

We definitely were still in the mode of, like, you want specialty, visual joke shots, right? Yeah, well, with the cake and everything. Exactly, the cake and the skywriting. Not to mention you guys, epic high five. Thank you for acknowledging. I mean, we had to kind of padded it a little bit

because this song has less, less visuals. Just because, you know, you're always just looking at yourself. Go back to the last shot of Acon singing, and I'm just adjusting my earmuffs the whole... Shosh. So cold. Yeah. Just like,

let's get out of here. This crying shot of you on top of Blake crying. She just wins. One of them was quintessential Andy. Yeah. It's very much on the edge of not okay. We all know. And I've never looked more like a Simpsons character.

Oh, man. The whole time. She might have been a racist. And I. I think she might have been a racist. Well, you're just like, hmm, that's a weird lamp covering. She has a clan hood just like propped right up next to the bed. Yeah.

Also, very good instinct by all parties not to have our friend Jessica Alba in the two shot. That's right. Yeah. This is a solo you're. This was done without her there. I just realized that I'm playing our version of the post, but I should be playing the S&O one, so we're hearing laughs this whole time. Walk is laughs. Should we do another episode?

Yeah. Oh, some sparklers. That costs mine. I'm the commissioner of the Sex Olympics. Yeah. Why are you with the top hat? Top hat and sunnies. Was that the day you went and shot your part in the Tom Petty biopic?

I like how you can see how cheap the Sex Olympics sign looks. Keep walked out of this frame and into the Don't Come Around Here, no more video. Yeah. Actually playing the same role as the commissioner of the Sex Olympics in both Oh, interesting. Gotcha. Yeah. These are the same Beetlejuice trees, but we moved them around a lot because we spend that much money,

you try to get them in a lot of shots. You got to get as much use as possible. We kept saying no fucking leaves, no fucking leaves. Nothing says a fun and happy video look than just being basically in a cemetery. Yeah. The Sex Olympics banner real, despite how CD looks. Yeah. Because that looks less.

real than the skywriting. I know. That is definitely... But it is real. I mean, it's because of the font is so like fake 3D lettering on the S especially that it looks a little fake. But nope, we've really hung that and they really had to pull those cables and shit. Someone somewhere probably has that, or it's in like a closet somewhere. It's probably a Paul Rudd's house. But we'll never know. Too embarrassed to hang it. You guys both got gold medals. That's so great. Yeah, congrats. This certainly went better than the Space Olympics. What about the Space Hogg Olympics? Boo-ya.

Oh, now we're getting in there. Booyah. The fact that that's real is so crazy. It's so crazy. So key change. Yeah, on the keychain, but the fact that Acon just flew off the second-house building in New York

to go even higher. Yes. So why don't you explain how we did it and what's happening? So there's, it's a jib arm, right? Giant jib arm. Giant with like... Huge.

The kind of thing that you might see a construction worker on to, like, change a light bulb on a street lamp, like a basket. I don't know how we got it up there. It must have been a service elevator in pieces. They had to, like, pull it with pulleys. It was brought up in pieces through a freight elevator,

and then they built it up there. On top of the MetLife building, on the windiest, freezingest day of the year. And it's probably three in the morning at this point. It's even crazier than that, though, because we got service elevators, right? There's one level, and then there's a level above that level. So they had to pull everything up with, like,

pulleys and everything, and then build it on top of the secondary level. It's so dangerous. That's true. The elevator does not go to the roof. Yeah. And then also that we were too scared to put lights high because they could blow off the roof,

but we put you guys high. Oh, yeah. This was so scary. So he's on a little chair that's floating up. So the shot is the three of us, and then he just starts to lift out of the frame. Now people are really... Yeah, even the girl.

Chachange gets everybody out their seat, and everyone's feeling good about it now. Yeah, this family is... I don't want to be a huge. huge drag, as you guys explain, how a risky that shot was and all the pieces to it. Definitely, when I watched it, I thought the camera moved and you guys just like knelt down. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

Yeah. Again, unnecessary. Wait, let's see if any of the shots ended up making it clear what was happening. All right, so. One of me on the TV that I'm doing it, but it's not necessary. Yeah, but you can't tell. Yeah. But so we're loving Blake and Jessica getting into it and grooving.

Yeah. I'm loving bag on his head version. dancing. Yeah, yeah, that's good shot. The Irish bar singing. We got all the people in Times Square. You see they're all doing their waving their hands in the sky, like at a concert, back and forth.

A lot of little detail work to give it all the energy. Yeah. Also, if we didn't need me saying everybody sing, we could have probably seen Acon rising all the way up. Yeah. And maybe that was a mistake. Alba really whipping her ponytail in my face with Ellen. Back to McEnroe.

Maconrault's back, yeah. And then what's next? Keep on Times Square. Keep saying, oh, we got, so who we got our two producers rubbing our back shirtless. Yeah, so that's Rob Smyth,

and then I recognize his face, but I'm blanking it's been so long. It was Rob Smyth's homie. Yeah, Rob Smyth's friend, 15 years ago. Rob Smyth, we shot so many videos with Roshmoy. Right, so that's you, Andy, on yours. But again, we could just be faking it

with a camera angle, so easy. Yeah. In terms of you, right there. That's you on that thing. That's me like 30 feet above the top of the roof. of the building. Yeah. And like, definitely after each take being like,

holy shit, I swore I was about to die. Yeah. You're like, but tell me it was worth it, Keeve. Tell me it was worth it. And then, so Keev, tell me how we shoot this a different way where you then could be like it was worth it. I mean, now you would just send a drone up

to get the background and then we would just be on inside a soundstage. No, but to do this for real. No, I mean, practically. Yeah. How would you be able to tell? Hell. That it's real.

I think it has to be a one or like the end of that Bjork video that Spike Jones did. Right. Either that or we had a secondary crane and that's getting footage of you. So it's spinning. Like, as he's going up, you're also seen. Problem is that the look of you having to be strapped to this chair is not cool looking. Yeah. So we can't go wider to, like, show, holy fuck, he's doing it because you'd be like, why is he's

sitting in a bizarre chair strapped in? No, but you would have got more parallax, though. So, like, if the one camera is going as he's going and you're zipping past it, would look cooler. If they're not attached to each other. Yeah. But still, you would just think we faked it because of the nature of how tight it has to be. Yoram, can I say something? Yeah. I was genuinely impressed by your use of the word parallax. I was too. Thanks, Andy. I was like, nice. Well, I was trying to make up for the whole two plus two is four things. But honestly, if it was a oneer where you guys are walking on the roof and then at a certain point, we don't see how you get strapped in because

we're in the same medium. And then all of a sudden you start lifting up and are flying. then people would know it's real. You know what I mean? Yes. Yeah, man. But it has to be a one-er. Well, it was also so weird because it was like you were strapped into the chair, which is supposed to imply safety. But then as soon as you're up there, you're like,

the whole fucking thing's going to go over. So it's not going to matter. You're just going to be stripped to this fucking chair and then fly off the route. It was fun, though. It was fun. Yeah. Got your blood going.

Oh, there's the wide shot of it. Yeah. It was going to do it. Yeah. And I'm guessing this is the last time we did a shot of us all just staring. at this camera and nodding. Never say never. We've got more videos to watch. And I remember

you guys, remember you made a big deal out of it the next Monday? You were like, hey, we're not going back to that well. Don't ask us to just look down the lens and nod anymore, okay? We're out on that. We've grown as artists. And maybe put 2% less makeup on us. We did used

to, as we were developing our style, say, okay, if it's a joke shot, we always make sure we get it in slow motion not saying the lyrics. So you have a break from watching somebody say words to you. But you definitely see that employed here with tons of shots like this one and the cake and the high five, you know, where if it's a joke, you know, all the ones of the crying over Blake or whatever, they're all slow-mo and they're all without lyrics being said.

Keith, is there a certain speed of slow-mo that you like for these kinds of shots? What are we shooting at? 60? I feel like we would always go way slower than we needed to and then realize we needed to speed it back up. Like 48 never seemed slow enough. So we would do 96, and then we'd get an edit and realize we had so little time to show what happens that we'd end up speeding it up to some. And what about the parallax?

Yeah, what about that parallax, Keith? The parallax of view. Yeah, I love parallax, you know? You feel the background going one way, the character's going the other way. Here's a fun thing. If you shoot at 30 frames and then speed that up, like if you use that as your slow-mo, it gives us really nice, just ethereal little something. Yeah, that is a nice little tidbit. I explained it.

Very nice. All right, this, again, everyone's heard us talk about how we didn't have the, like, crews that they have today with VFX people and stuff, which we didn't. There was no way for us to get this shot done. It's way more complicated than you would think. Obviously, there's nothing, they just did this pose, and we said, and then we'll pull fireworks, and everyone's like, how? Because you need the fireworks going at the exact right angles for the shot in the exact right ways, and it wasn't just putting, like, no one could fix it. it out. And the Katie Perry Firework video had come out earlier that year,

or maybe the year before, it was just a huge deal. And if you recall, fireworks come out of the chests of everybody in that video, over and over. That's a million-dollar, whatever it costs. Dave Myers, who is the biggest music video director ever, directed huge video. So I was like, how did they do it? And I cold called Dave Myers Production Company. He had or has a video production company called Radical Media, and I knew that, and I called the front desk, and just explained who we were, and that we were at SNL, and we were on a super tight thing,

and I need to get to Dave Myers to ask him how he did the shot, ASAP. And she said, hold, and basically got me his email, like, got permission to give me his email. And I called email Dave Myers, and he was, like, wrote back pretty quickly explaining that it was a company out of Texas that did the VFX work, and that they had gone to Budapest and shot for two, two nights different fireworks going off for the plates over black. Like, that's how much money they had, where a team could just go out and shoot fireworks. So they had all this stuff.

And so then he got me in touch with them. This is all within, like, 48 hours of the video coming out. And I'm talking to these guys in Texas, explaining what we're doing, and they're super down to help. Just, God bless them. Like, that sounds so fun and cool, it's S&L. Send us the shot.

So we found the shot way before we had even edited the video. And I sent them the shot, and they went back into their hard. drives and found the plates from Budapest and made us this shot and gave it to us on like Saturday afternoon. So fucking nice. So nice. So generous with their time to do that. Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah. I remember we sent them a bottle. I asked them if we could pay and they, I don't think we paid them anything. They were like, no, we're good. It was just for fun that we loved like, like, it was cool. And I think we sent them like a bottle of champagne with a big thank you. I love stories like this.

When Akiva gets super motivated to just track some shit down, figures out an idea is like, that we gotta get exactly that makes it happen like and again like he's talking about in 48 hours it's not like it's like to do all that within the time that we have these are people that i would assume don't work on saturdays generally no no yeah that's amazing can you go back to 153 somebody wrote something that i was curious about so it's when andy puts his headphones up their question was it looks like it's in reverse like the way your hood comes up they asked is this shot played backwards because your hood flips up so fast it looks like it's coming down. Just watch it again.

Oh. The hood just like flips up in a weird way. Yeah, it is your hood, right? To get warmth. Hey, Keeve, I figured out the name of the company that gave you the fireworks, Radium, a real VFX company from Dallas, Texas. Yeah. So shout out those guys.

It's very nice to you. Yeah, that does ring the bell, as they say. Yeah, it's just the hood flipping up. The way it flips up, I can see why they asked if it was played backwards, which clearly wasn't, but that thing goes flying up. Yeah. We got to get into the footage. Yeah, but we definitely did not do anything backward.

That'd be impossible for us at that point. Not impossible, but you know what I mean? Like with these two guys moving forward. Because I was going to say, what if we had split screened Andy and put them in, but there's no way with all the parallax. Thank you. Thank you. Let's just say parallax a lot.

There is no way, though. Now that Yorne got credit for it, he's just going to keep going back to the parallax. Well, you guys have been saying it. The way that the background is genuinely parallaxing, There's no way like we would have been able to like cut Andy out. And if we did cut Andy out, we wouldn't have put in a version of Andy where he's fucking with his earmuffs. Anyways, good question, but no. You guys, the caterer just got here for round two of the party.

Oh, oh, it's like, and then tomorrow come on by for some brunch. I got to blast some tunes too because these jokers look like they're not having a good time. I just want to point something out. Seth just texted me that he got Queen Bee during the pod. Oh, fascinating. No. Well, because it was wrapping up, and I was close. I was close, and I felt like I could get it.

Guys, is there any truth to the rumor that he requested you guys change it to the Lorneley Island? That's actually in the documentary, Lauren, now on Peacock. Oh, he says he wants it to be the Lorne Lay Island. Yeah, it's just footage they had. They actually caught the moment he asked. Oh, and then there was like that six-minute scene where he's like talking to the rest of the staff. Like, should I even mention it? Is it dumb?

Right. because people they already put out one album will it be confused All right Hey Jack Black, stick us in Spelling Bee Spelling Bees One hint

Because you didn't have your coffee You didn't have your coffee Can I guess the word? Yeah, guess the word Log roll Yes All right That was my last one

That was your last one But you used hints obviously So many Log roll I was clean Could be clean clean B, and then couldn't get a loggerald, had to get the know that it was an L. Andy, do you ever, when you do no hints, do you ever say to yourself, no stems, no seeds,

no hints? Oh, like Lorna, but I will now. Okay. That's a good one you say. And your, um, did you get nice? Uh, I will. I'm going to go poolside and then I'll see if I can get to solid today, but we'll let you know next one. I mean, you worked real hard.

You had a wedding and fireworks and all. There's people out of his house. That's the thing. I still do not know where my phone is, guys. That's true. Yeah. It's hard to do the B when you don't have a phone. So I guess we can't do like a future Borat until we know for sure you get nice.

Right. You're reducing me to nice. I usually get solid, bro. Yeah, but when you got nice, he went, that's a nice. Oh, that's a nice. He doesn't say it's a solid. I could ask Sasha to send us a solid. Isn't it nice one word?

I will tell you the biggest burn I got yesterday was that I didn't get non-word as one of my words. Because the amount you're like, well, that's not a word. Why? Oh, yeah, there was a crossword day. I mean, not really, but there were three that could have been shout out to us. Well, one was Bay Area Airport Code, but then it was the SFO. So that's not. That's like almost a slap in your face, right?

I think any reference to the Bay Area is a winter soldier. Okay, so we have, there's three winter soldiers in this. It was Bay Area Airport Code. Mm-hmm. Blank recall. I saw that. I was like, oh, they went your soldiering again. And then my Bay Area, which is rival of a raven, and it was Steeler.

I did see Steeler. So that's kind of triple wind. Yeah, they're up in our heads. Well, this is just delightful. We all buckies. We all buggies. Look at that. I mean, real strong part two of Just Had Sex.

And, hey, by the way, happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day, Jess. We all did it. I might take the kids to Costco. Oh, that's traditional. Do it up. And Keeve, before we go, any message for your ops? Just give me another shot, guys.

I'm all right. Love you, guys. Love you, Seth. Love you, guys. Later, Arnold. Later quades. Later, ghostface. Later quades.

Later, Jack. Later quades. Later Jack doing ghost face? Later quads. Later, O'Brien. so you do remember my name
