Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, everybody. The podcast is about to start, but before it does, we have some very exciting news. Which one of you wants to tell them? Let's all say it at the same time, guys. One, two, three. Pop Star is now on Netflix. Man, I felt like that was a cruel tee-up, Seth. Seemed like maybe it was going to be something like... I'm sorry, bud. Pop Star, which is a fantastic film, and I look forward to doing what I'm certain will be a two-if-not if not three part episode of this podcast. Pop Star is now available on Netflix
Starting point is 00:00:26 and it's never been on Netflix. And a lot of you are gonna watch it for the first time based on how it did in theaters. Thanks for calling it a film, Seth. That was nice of you. It's a great movie. I love it so much. I'm genuinely so excited that it's on Netflix.
Starting point is 00:00:39 We got all kinds of credits on that movie. Producers, actors, writers. Two out of three of us were directors. And fucking real producers too. PGA fucking approved, guys. Oh, yeah, full on PGA. Everyone knows what that is. And unlike NYPD Blue, you guys had the courage
Starting point is 00:00:54 to show a full dick. That's right. We show butt right away. We get that out of the way in the first, like, three minutes, there's a butt. I was like, where's he going with this? Again, they paved the way though, all respected. Yeah, without Blue, Blue walks so you could run.
Starting point is 00:01:09 We name check Dennis Franz and we show- And like NYPD Blue, we had the courage to drop our Chicago accents. Wait, there's something I want to say. Oh, I just feel like, you know what? We've never actually called on you, Quaid Army, but this is it. Quaid Army, let's get the views on this.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Get it trending, guys. Trending. Exactly. Top 10. Please. All right. Enjoy the podcast. It's the lonely island and Seth Meyers podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:43 How close are you, Andy, to your spelling bee climax? I got it hours ago. Fuck this guy. Let's see if Seth mentions it when he comes back, from either number one or number two. Okay. You want to know my guess? He's going to avoid the subject. You really think he's just that dumb?
Starting point is 00:02:00 You just think he's a dummy? No, I just think when he doesn't achieve his goals, he avoids talking about them. Who are we talking about? No one. So how was your time away, Seth? Anything you want to bring up? Maybe some texts? Whether or not I queen bead?
Starting point is 00:02:13 Oh, that's an interesting subject. Did you queen bead? No, I haven't yet. What a fool. Do you know anyone who did? No. Supposedly somebody did it with no hints. Yeah, that was me, your best pud.
Starting point is 00:02:24 One of your best buds. I said best bud, but then I was like, wait, wait, we got a lot of best buds. Yeah, of course I'm recording, Jeff. I don't want to miss Andy shitting all over me for not getting the B. I don't think our listeners want to miss that either. How many points do you have so far, Seth? Because I have 39.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I don't have my phone in front of me, Yoram, because I'm doing a podcast, and I feel like that's inappropriate. So I can't tell you exactly how many I have. Well, I guess you're never going to know how many I have 39. I don't have my phone in front of me, Yorn, because I'm doing a podcast, and I feel like that's inappropriate. So I can't tell you exactly how many I have. Oh, well, I guess you're never gonna queen bee then. Yeah, I guess not. I will say, it's very exciting to start a pod
Starting point is 00:02:55 knowing that Andy is already bee'd. Yeah, it makes me wonder what he's gonna do on his phone for the next hour. I mean, he's staring at something. I'm doing strands, I just got the spangler. I'm like, do-doroopie doopie doo. And once that is put to bed, obviously, I already got connections in Wordle.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Then I will try and get letterboxed in two words. When are we going to invite the New York Times gentleman on to talk about this crucial issue? We really do have to decide two things. When are we going to have Sam on? And do we just agree now that we show the Doritos people, here's what I think we do. We get on a Zoom show the Doritos people, here's what I think we do. We get on a Zoom with the Doritos people,
Starting point is 00:03:27 we don't record it, and we just watch them watch it. Right, I think that's fair, I would love to see that. The new guard at Doritos being like, oh, I see why that's in prison. And we're just like, you don't have to say anything, you don't have to do anything, we just wanna- Watch your faces. Be able to say to our listeners what they thought.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Strands done. Strands done, that's great. We should watch it with them and then immediately hang up before we hear their opinions. Just judge it off their faces. I really wanna hear. Letterboxd has a J, an X, and a V. Not to mention a U and a V.
Starting point is 00:03:57 This is gonna be tough. What is Letterboxd? This one. And what are you doing it? You can use one letter from each side at a time. Oh yeah, I know that one, okay. I mean, I used to do it and be like, snooze fast, cause it was so easy to get it.
Starting point is 00:04:11 And let's say today it says in six words, but then I think I talked about this already. Dan Gore said him and his brother. I'm gonna cut you off real quick, cause I think I might kill myself if I listened to you talk about that anymore. So Jeff, our producer, just put in the chat that James from Doritos is a listener.
Starting point is 00:04:25 It's just you asked. So that's just the only reason I was talking about it, because you asked, you fucking piece of shit. Sorry, go on about Doritos. Yeah, go back to host phones, Seth. Shut it down. Shut this motherfucker down. All right, so James from Doritos, our question is,
Starting point is 00:04:42 are you okay getting on a Zoom with us? We will screen share Yoruma's magnum opus, the normal guy Doritos ad, and we will watch it together with you. We won't record you, we will discuss it afterwards, and then we'll bring it to the pod. We don't wanna do anything that's gonna jam you up, James, but we would like to get this going.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I really like that we use this pod to talk specifically to one person. Hey, Quaid Army, you never know which day we're gonna talk to you. Going through you guys individually. Hey, Quaid, what are you cooking? Is that mac and cheese? Quaid-O!
Starting point is 00:05:17 Oh, you're still talking to our Quaid. Yeah. Quaid-O, make that tea! Our boy J. Quaid. Yeah, our main Quaid. Yeah, kind of the main Quaid at this point. He's our main Quade. Yeah, kind of the main Quade at this point. He's our main Quade. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Only Quade who's checked in so far. I mean, we're gonna use this time because Keev is coming. Yeah. You know, a lot of times, I think the fun thing about this pod is the first 15 minutes the other three hosts think the fourth host is coming and then we have to announce they actually are not. Okay, that was my bad.
Starting point is 00:05:43 It was everybody's bad. I'm not pinning that on you, Yorn. So this is the podcast. Keev is coming, but I have another exciting update. I mean, there's a lot. I mean, Sam Izursky from The Bee, he might be on soon. James from Doritos, we just asked him directly using the pod.
Starting point is 00:05:59 I ran into Steve Martin again last night, and I said, we really do want you to come on the pod and talk about surf meeting. Whoa. And I said, we really do want you to come on the pod and talk about surf meeting. And he said he would happily do it. He doesn't know when it'll happen. He's in the middle of shooting murders, season five. But I think he needs the Quaid army to bear witness to what we did to him.
Starting point is 00:06:19 And I think it'll be really cathartic for him to work through it. I love that. Can we see if Dennis Franz will get on the pod too? I feel like he should talk about his butt. It would be very funny if Dennis Franz, this would be his return to, like, the public. He walked off the set from NYPD Blue
Starting point is 00:06:36 and said, I'm gonna live a private life now, and then he held it all the way until he got invited to come on the Lonely Island set in Mars podcast. And then he was like, I guess I really am retired. Yeah. It's proved it. I feel like the odds are low. Low that he'll come on the Lonely Island and set my heart on fire. And then he was like, I guess I really am retired. Yeah. It's proved it. I feel like the odds are low.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Low that he'll come on? Yeah. Yeah. It'd be so fun if he just really wanted to talk about that episode in that moment and just how it worked, the shower scene. How it worked. I like to think that he's still confused
Starting point is 00:07:02 about what she was trying to do. Yeah. I don't know what the fuck she was up to. I don't get it about what she was trying to do. Yeah. I don't know what the fuck she was up to. I don't get it. The blocking was wonky. There was that. I mean, I was. Hey, we could grab a second.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Look, it's the Bradley Cooper show, but really it's the I'm On A Boat show. So we're gonna get there. But can we take a second to just talk about some things in the Bradley Cooper show? Yes, please. Yeah, totes. There was a game show, Bradley Cooper hosted a game show
Starting point is 00:07:27 called I'm Gonna Have Sex With Your Wife. That's right. And he comes out, very game show talk, very 70s game showy like brrk brrk brrk brrk brrk brrk brrk brrk that kind of, you get it. Yeah. The three contestants are Will Forte, super excited to be on the show.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Fred Armisen, super excited to be on the show. Fred Armisen, super excited to be on the show. And then he goes in, then our returning champ. And then it cuts to Bill and Bill's super bummed out. Cause Bill had been on the show last week. And now it's starting to dawn on you what happens in order to win the game show, I'm gonna have sex with your wife. It's starting to dawn on you?
Starting point is 00:07:58 I mean, it is the name of the sketch. It's starting to dawn on the late bloomers. Understood. So Forte, as far as he walks over, he does a little host banner. It says here you run a PR firm in Cedar Rapids. I sure do. Terrific. And I understand you brought your wife with you here tonight.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I sure did. Hi, honey. Hi. That's great. That's great. Now, Ron, I'm going to have sex with your wife. I'd like to see you try. And then Mikaela runs up and Bradley and her go off stage and it's just hearing that same music, a single on forte while he goes from he goes from like pretty confident to like definitely sure that his wife is having sex with the game show host.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Yeah. Yeah. All right. So then three notable update guests. Andy, you all remember when Michael Phelps got caught smoking weed. Yeah, of course I remember that. So my question to you is you came on and commented as a famous person. What famous person did you come on and comment to us?
Starting point is 00:09:06 I'm going to assume it was Mark Spitz. It was 100% Mark Spitz. Hey, Keev's here. Yo. Keev, I just wanted to jump you right in. Can you hear us, Keev? Yeah, I'm here. Hey.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Talking about three update features we have not talked about, I'm on a boat yet. There were three update features. First one, let's see if you can get the question right that Andy just got right. Michael Phelps gets caught smoking weed. Andy plays a real person on Weekend Update commenting on it.
Starting point is 00:09:30 What historical person did Andy Sandberg come on? Historical, I just mean a real person. Oh, it, um... Mark Spitz. Mark Spitz. You kind of played Mark Spitz as a skeevy guy, and I feel like Mark Spitz might have some issues with the way he chose to play it.
Starting point is 00:09:45 I mean, it was all just like, 70s vibes. It was all mustache and chest hair. Yeah, yeah. I would just like to flatly read some of the dialogue. Oh, by all means. I hope it's better than the stripper sketch from last week. It is. It's a flat read there, too.
Starting point is 00:10:02 I did kind of run it through, and I'm like, no, it's better. Okay. It's not great, but it's better. That was you thinking about it. I did text with Klein about the stripper sketch and we were like, obviously we were still learning and if we were to do it today, the nipples would have come out on page three,
Starting point is 00:10:19 which is technically page two and a half. Well, this is interesting because this is only a week later, so maybe this was the first step in your education. Yeah, maybe we fully cracked it a week later. You came right at it. You said, back in the day I was known for my breaststroke
Starting point is 00:10:33 and I was a pretty good swimmer too, zang. Zang. Who wrote this? I believe it's you and Millennion Joast. Oh, okay. Heavy hitters. Then you had this line, let's just say a lot of girls laid their head at the Spitz Carlton.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Geez. Yeah. Sure. The audience did not go with you on that one. Right, cause it's a long ass walk and their legs were tired. And then you said, then you tell, you explained to me, Weekend Update anchor, Seth Meyers, that works on two levels because Carlton is also what I call my penis.
Starting point is 00:11:08 There you go. Fully landed the plane. Thank you. And then I said, I don't think it works on either level. All right, now it's another trivia question. You can ask follow-up if you need clues. Okay, thank you. This is during a financial crisis.
Starting point is 00:11:22 The setup is no nation has experienced the economic crash worse than Iceland. Here to comment. Wig as Bjork. 100%, well done. Wow. Two for two. I feel like that's the only Icelandic celebrity
Starting point is 00:11:35 that has ever been portrayed on the show. Yeah. It's historically notable to me in my personal life because she rolls out and says, greetings, Snarf. Greetings, Snarf. Greetings, Snarf. Laughter How is your skeleton? Uh, good. How's your skeleton?
Starting point is 00:11:55 It's itchy. Laughter And from that day forward, our friend Neil Brennan has never called me anything other than Snarf. Who do you think is Snarf? That's great, because friend Neil Brennan has never called me anything other than snarf. Who do you think snarf? That's great, because now people can call you that
Starting point is 00:12:09 on the street when they see you. Yeah, it made me very happy. And then the first question she asked me is how's your skeleton? Pretty great. Yeah. There's two Seth Corners I'd like to talk about, then we'll get right into boats.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Sing me in, Yoram. Seth Corners, it's been a minute since I sang this song, but here we go, Seth, take it away. Were you bummed you didn't get asked to audition for Snarf in the new Masters of the Universe movie? I mean, I'm bummed that I've never asked to audition for anything. Uh, okay, that's fair. So I can save the questions that are similar to that one moving forward. Thank you for that info. You had a bunch of them. You had a lot. You had a bunch of them. Are you bummed you weren't asked two questions?
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yeah, yeah. Oh, you bummed you didn't get asked audition for Complete Unknown? By the way, we never talked about, I'm derailing Seth's corner. I'm sorry. That's fine. I was, you know, it's all of our corners.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Well, a long time ago, we talked about the Elvis auditions, which was really fun. And we didn't ever talk about what those Complete Unknown auditions must be like. Oh, yeah. Who do you want to be? What actor do you want? Just do Andy, come on.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Hey, what's up Andy? Hey, how's it going? Auditioning for Bob Dylan, Complete Unknown. So excited, hey, Quaid Army by the way. Oh my God, that is so nice. Yeah, we just love the pod. And you know, Gary over here said, you know, Andy's such a good singer
Starting point is 00:13:19 and I'm listening to the pod and I'm remembering all those little songs, so we're just so happy to get you in. Wow, warm room, I was not expecting that. Thank you very much. That helps me relax. Okay, so whenever you're ready and obviously pick whatever song you're most comfortable with. Okay, great. We're in a train with the North Indian wind. We're here in the middle of the morning land.
Starting point is 00:13:38 I'll leave. I'm just gonna go. Yeah. As soon as it started, I knew it was off. Apologies. Apologies for bringing you in. Yep, that was my bad. Apologies for bringing you in. Yeah. As soon as it started, I knew it was off. Apologies. Apologies for bringing you in. Yep. That was my bad. Apologies for bringing you in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Let me know if you need a stoner in the background or something. Somebody who he's really rude to and then gets the best of. That's a real dream outcome for me because I knew exactly where that was going and it still was a full delay. I'm pretty sure I blew out the mic. I didn't know the song choice. Yeah, I didn't either. You didn't know it was going to be Girl From the North Country. You didn't know it was gonna be Girl From the North Country?
Starting point is 00:14:05 No. I didn't know that. Girl From the North Country, I had like a Talking Heads shuffle channel on this morning. Yeah. And it started playing the one from, with Johnny Cash when he stopped smoking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:17 When Dylan stopped smoking. Oh, did that change his voice significantly? Well, yeah, I immediately yelled out, girl from the North Country, everyone's favorite version. It is like the best stop smoking ad of all time. You're like, wait, how long did he stop for, for his voice to completely change? I think it's BS and he just decided to change it
Starting point is 00:14:39 and make it sound like a muppet. Yeah. It was an ad for smoking. It's that voice, right? Yeah, you're like, yeah. It's very, like, if I start smoking, how long till I have a cool, raspy voice? You've got a good one. And we're gonna get into your voice.
Starting point is 00:14:55 I can tell you're fishing. We're gonna be talking a lot about your voice this podcast. So can we please? Oh, yeah, maybe the most ham performance of Akiva's career. Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb. You know, recently I took a trip to Los Angeles, California, and I stayed at Airbnb for five days.
Starting point is 00:15:14 It was in the Valley, not gonna tell you where, because then you might track my movements. It was great. It was right across the street from a park. It was a really beautiful unit. And you know what it made me think? It made me think, man, I'm blowing it. I have a lovely place that I could be doing the same thing with.
Starting point is 00:15:31 I would love to share it with the world. It's a great way for people to have lovely experiences. And what am I doing? I'm just blowing it because it feels like it's more of a vacation in an Airbnb. It's not a hotel. You don't have to feel like you're just visiting a city. You're living in a city. And anyway, I felt like I was really throwing money in the garbage and I was a fool. Your home could be worth more than you think and you can find out how much at Airbnb.com slash
Starting point is 00:16:00 post. Support comes from Viori. Hello, Yorm. Woo, Viori, my fave. Because you love versatility, Yorm, correct? And I love the way it stretches. Yeah, four-way performance stretch. Yes, that's it. You're a big fan because it moves with you. No restriction. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:18:37 Smalls was started back in 2017 by a couple of guys home cooking cat food and small batches for their friends. A few short years later, they've served millions of meals to cats across the US. I feel like a lot of times that breaks the other way where the guys doing like small batch cat food

Yoram, could you just sing in real quick to remind people where we are right now? This was the part of the show where Seth was supposed to be doing his corner. Take it away again Seth.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Okay great. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got a little Bedlam spillover from those non-Seth apps. We're used to talking more now. Sorry about the melee and Bedlam. Too much Bedlam, too much melee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seth, hit us.
Starting point is 00:19:52 This was a perfect combination of two of my favorite things in my life. When I was a child, I wore the Pittsburgh Steelers in Saturday Night Live. I was at the Super Bowl. I was there live with my parents when the Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals, maybe the greatest play in Super Bowl history, James Harrison intercepts Kurt Warner,
Starting point is 00:20:08 runs it back 99 yards. And then I write a weekend update feature where Keenan plays James Harrison still breathing into an oxygen mask about how tired he was. And mostly just bring it up because it makes me very happy. I was just always like, oh, this is 13-year-old Seth's perfect dream come true. I also wrote a sketch you were in, and he called it, Bad Guys Good Conversation
Starting point is 00:20:29 with Bradley Cooper. Any memory? He was the Johnny from Karate Kid. Talk show host. He was Johnny Lawrence. Can you name the three guests? I'm going to assume I was Alan Rickman. You were Hans Gruber, and it's a better impression
Starting point is 00:20:43 than I remember. Yes. Yes. Yeah, for once. And then who were the other two? Oh, oh, oh, oh. Almost certainly Bill as Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. James Gunn, yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:20:56 And... It's hard. I'm gonna jump in. You're not gonna get it. Michaela Watkins as Glen Close in Fatal Attraction. Oh, fun. It's very fun. I will say, I wanted you're not gonna get it. Michaela Watkins as a Glenn Close and Fatal Attraction. Oh, fun. It's very fun. I will say, I wanted it to be better looking back. Sure.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Didn't quite get past premise. Very much in the Two First Names talk show kind of sphere that we were doing that year. And if the best memory of Two First Names is when it pops out to Kangles, really a part of this that I forgot is while Johnny Lawrence, AKA Bradley Cooper is doing a long intro, all of a sudden you hear Sudeikis scream, start the show,
Starting point is 00:21:34 and it cuts to him and he's like the evil Sensei from Karate Kid. Oh God, I thought it was gonna be- He's like the kind of gelman from the Today Show. I'm sorry about live with Regis, but he's, you know, wearing a headset and he's telling him to start the show. He's the sensei though. He's not the put him in a body bag.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Yes. No, wait, he has put him in the body bag. He's the bad sensei. But the sensei doesn't say put him in the body bag. The buddy sensei. No, that's like Johnny or Joey or whatever the fuck. That's a different guy. It's the more aggro second guy.
Starting point is 00:22:01 It's, his name is John Kreese. Whoever, whatever character, I wrote it down. It's John Kreese. Yeah, he's like the aggro second guy. It's, his name is John Kreese. Whoever, whatever cared, I wrote it down. It's John Kreese. Yeah, he's like the shitty coach. Okay. And the one thing I'll say that was really fun in watching it back is you have a really good Hans Gruber,
Starting point is 00:22:15 but also Bill makes, Bill plays Buffalo Bill like a real kind of a guy who's having a lot of fun being on a talk show. Ha ha ha. Jamie, why are you bad? Oh, I'm a crazy person. And I would say that- He's really loose and it's good times.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I remember liking that sketch. John Kreese is the main bad guy, is the sensei of Cobra Kai. All right, well guys now, I mean, this is a giant one. Does he wear his khakis with a cuff and a crease? Before we get into this, before we get into this. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, your arm, shut up, shut up. Your arm, shut up.
Starting point is 00:22:52 But what is Denzel Washington's character in Man on Fire? Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith. Ed is really excited, Keith. Does he wear, Keith. Does he wear his khakis with a cuff and a crease? Yes, John Crease does. Woo, that's that West Coast!
Starting point is 00:23:08 I don't know the answer to this, but I know it's close. What is his character from Man on Fire, Denzel? It's close to John Crease, but what is it gonna be? Sound off in the comments. Steel, hitting those switches on them lolos, girl. She calls him Creasy the whole time. Guys, can we go back to add something? John Creasy, wait, hold on. His name's John Creasy the whole time. Guys, can we go back to add something? John Creasy, wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:23:26 His name's John Creasy. Yoram, I wanna apologize for telling you to shut up 17 times straight really fast. That was fucked up, and I was trying to get out my West Side thing, and now I feel like shit, and I can't fucking sleep, because I did that to you, and I love you. You're trying to sleep?
Starting point is 00:23:40 And I know I can do better, and I will do better. This is the moment that I do wish people saw a video, because Annie's getting really up on the mic and the video camera right now and he looks great. But Andy, you can't just say Cuffin and Crease West Side and think anybody knows what the fuck you're talking about. What are you talking about? Ask Keev and Yoram, they both know.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Okay, what is it? I mean, it's some sort of like Ice Cube West Side connection type of a thing, but I don't know the exact- It's how you wear your khakis. I mean, you wear a little Cuffin and Crease. But why West Side? By the way, I like Andy, you were thing, but I don't know the exact... It's how you wear your khakis. I mean, you wear it with a cousin of yours. By the way, I like Andy, you were like, ask them, they know, and then just two real soft answers. Well, I know the basic things, you know?
Starting point is 00:24:13 It's the look that like Ice Cube and all the LA kind of gangster people wear, where it's like, you know, probably those dickies, khakis and... Yeah, but it's like a uniform for West Side Connection. Guys, it's in Still Dre. That's the and... Yeah, but it's sort of like a uniform for West Side Connection. Guys, it's in Still Dre. That's the most... Oh, it's in Still Dre. Like my khakis with a cup and a crease.
Starting point is 00:24:31 And I still got love for the streets. It's the DRE. Anybody? No one? Yeah, of course. I guess I'm the fucking piece of dogshit idiot loser. It's just hard to access thoughts that fast sometimes. All right, now I'm not trying to create another Anthony Edwards here, guys. That's what I'm saying. I'm not trying to create another Doug...
Starting point is 00:24:47 Hauser, Hauser situation. Hauser, Hauser. I'm just letting you know that the fictional character of John Kreese, who is the sensei of Cobra Kai, is named John Kreese. And then I'm assuming for sag reasons, John W. Kreese, he added the W. Oh, man on Fire, Creasy. Is Denzel Washington, aka Creasy Bear. Creasy Bear, yeah, we love that. He's referred to by Dakota Fanning,
Starting point is 00:25:11 because that's like his manny, you know? Yeah. While they're down in Mexico or somewhere, and, you know, he's her bodyguard. I don't have to tell you about it, you've seen Man on Fire, but anyways, the names are very similar. Yeah. Keith, on a related note, what does Creasy Bear wish that that one guy had?
Starting point is 00:25:27 More time. Now that I'll know. I thought you were gonna perform it. I wish you had more time. But he's the one that's gonna blow him up. I know, then he kills him. It's so tight. Why, he could make his own wish come true, I guess.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Hey, I'm just looking at the IMDB page, Keev, and I'm worried about this is continuing because Christopher Walken in the film is named Paul Rayburn. Need I remind everybody, in the last episode Christopher Walken hosted, there was the Greased Lightning sketch where he kept saying, change the lyrics to Gene Rayburn.
Starting point is 00:26:00 So we're probably just living in a singularity at this point. Well, and you're talking about Christopher Walken, who played Iago and also was in the Laser Cats. Right, and yeah, he played Iago in Othello and Denzel is... And Denzel, who famously... Currently Othello right now. And famously was not in the Laser Cats.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Famously not yet. Yet. Yeah. Maybe he's for the movie, I guess. It would be really funny if Lorne asked Denzel to host, and Denzel said, uh, I don't want to host, but I'll do a laser cats. And then Lauren had to pretend
Starting point is 00:26:28 that you guys were still working on the show. Oh yeah, I'll ask the fellas. Like Lauren Hattenhand coming to you guys to do a laser cats. Wait, you guys, I still have something to say. Oh, that's right. We have been sort of steamrolling you, Yoram. We can put this at the beginning,
Starting point is 00:26:43 but before we get into this cool digital short. I like that you said you're so confident you think whatever you're about to say we're gonna put at the beginning. Well, we might wanna because it's about last week's episode, which I thought was great. I thought it was very enjoyable to listen to. You guys were very entertaining.
Starting point is 00:26:57 It did go a little off the rails, I will say. Seth did a very bad job keeping it on the tracks. But I got a voice note from Simon Rich that I'm gonna play for you guys right now It's very very the photographer or the cinematographer who we see yes We see in the mirror for a second so I'm rich wonderful comedy writer here. He is This is Simon rich I can confirm that I did indeed play the role of cameraman and laser caps for I'm very proud of my work. We need the confirmation.
Starting point is 00:27:28 In this film. I can also confirm that I provided my own wardrobe. That's definitely one of the three shirts that I owned at the time, along with the pants and shoes that I wore each day. Okay. I told you it was going to be short. Clearing up some controversy from last week about yeah And the shoes yeah, there was a part of me that was hoping he was gonna end right after I can confirm I was the camera No one asked but thank you I like just like you are full throwing full brakes on the pod to be like I got breaking news
Starting point is 00:28:05 breaking news. Hold on to your hats, sailors. There you go, guys. Thank you. Hey, you know, if you ask somebody to do a fucking boys note, you gotta fucking play that shit. Yeah, it was very good. Thank you, Simon. Hit the fucking deck! But stay on your motherfucking toes! We running this, let's go. I'm on a boat! I'm on a boat! So, I'm on a boat. Yes. This is an album song. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Well, our album's coming out, right? So what's the date of the episode? Right, but you had, but like who, who paid for it? The video was fully the record label. So that, I guess that's what it meant by album song, because it's label money and you can see it immediately. Yes. You can see that we're in Miami, so that would, it would have been hard to shoot that in New York.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I mean, how thorough do we want to get? This is... I think people want us to get very thorough. Easily one of, if not our biggest song ever. I will say, listening to it again today, I realize, because watching the video, I had forgotten a lot of things in the video, and I think one of the reasons is how often
Starting point is 00:29:06 I will just listen to this song without watching it as a short. It needs the visuals the least of any of your songs. It's possibly musically the best song that we've done. I think that's probably true, right? Can we talk about just how it came about? Sure. Since it's still a fucking thorn in my side. I know. Go ahead, guys.
Starting point is 00:29:26 I'm sorry, Yormie. Full thorn. Yorm was out of town for the weekend or something while we were recording in Credibad. That is correct. So this is, wait, would you say this section of the pod is called Yormthorns? Oh yeah, Yormthorns.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Yormthorns, and that's gonna be a reoccurring section, guys. All right. So Yormthorns, go. Yes, okay, so these fuckers. No, noormthorns, go. Yes. Okay. So, these fuckers... No, no, no, no. What's the theme song, dude? -♪ Yormthorn, fuck these fucking guys. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's good. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. of our skitting record deal was receiving tons of real beats from actual producers. And one of our first bundles of them had a bunch from this dude Wishmaster.
Starting point is 00:30:15 And this beat immediately we singled out. I remember personally being like, we absolutely have to do some idea to this beat. It's so fucking rad. We loved it. So I was around for that part of listening to that beat and being like, oh shit, this is a fucking smash. And the reason I was out of town
Starting point is 00:30:32 was because it was my anniversary. And so I went up, I don't know where we went to, I don't remember that part, but I came back like two days later, and these guys had basically completed the entire song and the first thing I said was that's a fucking hit you gotta let me on that and they were both like absolutely not the song was done it was a pretty it was pretty unanimous and I was like what only thing that would make it better is
Starting point is 00:31:01 if you had thought of the beat the entirety of your like anniversary and you came home and you're like, I've got it. It's called Cinnamon Swirl. Yeah. Well, I will say the dynamic of that song and the music video in particular has continued to haunt me in a loving way, I would say, for the rest of our careers. Of now I'm the landlubber who wears a dunce cap that says landlubber and we've put it into concerts now. I was in the video being ostracized. And so it's a joke that keeps on giving to these guys.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Anyway, so the conceiving of it was not super interesting as it never is, but I remember our friend John Silk was visiting the house. He's an executive at Netflix now. We grew up together in Berkeley. He just happened to be visiting and he can vouch he was in the room. We were playing that beat and I just started yelling,
Starting point is 00:31:53 I'm on a boat. And I remember Keev started laughing and I started laughing and we were like, I guess that's the premise. And it was, you know, obviously there was a lot of boat stuff in rap videos at that moment in time. Especially because that Miami scene was really popping off, and we loved that, and we're really engaging with it a lot
Starting point is 00:32:10 as listeners and viewers of videos. Name some tracks that we liked at the time. Like, We Taken Over, kind of all the Khalid, Akon, T-Pain shit that was happening down there, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne was obviously guesting on a lot of those songs. It was definitely a trope of the moment in that era of champagne and big boats. that was happening down there, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne was obviously guesting on a lot of those songs. It was definitely a trope of the moment
Starting point is 00:32:27 in that era of champagne and big boats. That was kind of of the moment. Was it, am I wrong in saying that Big Pimpin was shot on that boat? I'm not gonna get into that. I don't think it was that boat. No, okay. There may be an Akon video was shot
Starting point is 00:32:43 on the exact one we used, but it might be just that we did on our location scout, looked at a few different boats, and one of them was an Akon boat. I don't know that we rented the Akon boat. Yeah, I can't remember. I don't think we did. I think the Akon boat had a helicopter on the back, like, on the boat.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Did it write fast when you had the idea? Yes. Fast enough to exclude Yhorm. Well, yeah, they knew I was coming back, so they had to get it in, you know what I mean? They're like, oh shit, we got like 15 minutes. It's definitely a song we did not overthink. And we weren't like, what's the other twist to it?
Starting point is 00:33:12 We were like, yeah, that's the chorus, now let's just start writing. And we definitely wrote our own verses. And I doubt even helped each other on them at all, honestly. Just said, all right, write about being on a boat. And then we both just did. And sometimes I do on new songs that we're trying to crack. Sometimes I try to hearken back to that of like, we don't need to always think of three twists.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Like sometimes if the premise is good and the song sounds good, maybe we should just go straight at it and just do the simplest version. And sometimes that happens and sometimes it doesn't. Well, especially with a title like that. Like when it's a song that's just like, hey, this is the premise. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:33:49 I also think it weirdly counts as heightening by the fact that they don't ever switch to anything else. Correct. It's like, who said we're wack, but musically crazier. Yeah. Where it's like, part of the joke is doubling down, tripling down, quadrupling down, and never stopping. And then can't get over the fact that they're on this boat
Starting point is 00:34:04 and that they're bragging about it. I mean, it's also Turtled Neck and Chain, which is another one that came from just stomping around the room saying something. Like occasionally that is how songs come about by just one of us just repeating something. Are there any other songs that are like that? I'm sure we have like 50.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Just saying something and then like, I guess that's a song. Sushi Girl is a Just saying something and then like, I guess that's the song. Sushi Girl is a version of that. Have you, I guess my question is, have you guys ever done two in a row that weren't that? Thank you, Seth. What about, was this song nominated for a Grammy? Yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:34:40 You're jumping way ahead, but yes. Well, I just feel like, again, I wanna talk about quality and I was reading comments, and that was something that was said. So what was it nominated for? It was Yarmthorne, another Yarmthorne. We gave you writing credit. Yeah, we did.
Starting point is 00:34:55 You were nominated for that Grammy. Yeah. That's true. Yeah, you didn't even show up. Yeah, I still, yeah, I didn't show up for the Grammy. It was your anniversary, right? Out of spite. It was our half anniversary.
Starting point is 00:35:04 No, I was- You had seven anniversaries a year. No, I was raising show up for the Grammys. It was your anniversary. It was our half anniversary. No, I was... You had seven anniversaries a year. No, I was raising money for Mari's play, and so were you, Seth. The reason I wasn't at the Grammys is because I was doing... Me and Andy had a great time. You can look up the photos of us there. We were having a blast.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Yeah, we wore our sunglasses the whole time because it was rock and roll. Yeah, because we were part... We were now... Well, if you jump into the Grammys for a second, we were nominated under Best we were now, well, if you've jumped into the Grammys for a second, we were nominated under best rap-sung collaboration against songs like Run This Town. We were literally up against Run This Town, which thank God won.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yes, I don't know if anyone's ever gone to the Grammys hoping to lose more. Where we were like, if we win, we can't get on stage. We were only confident enough to go, because we were that sure that we were going to lose. Correct. You're right, that might have been a weird tipping point that sure that we were going to lose. Correct. You're right. That might have been a weird tipping point
Starting point is 00:35:46 that you wouldn't have recovered from. Agreed. We were in the wrong category. We were a little salty about not being nominated for a comedy album. Yes. Because I believe we had had the biggest selling comedy album of the year.
Starting point is 00:35:57 And as everyone knows, if you sell a lot, that means it's high quality. But it is true. We did have the number one Billboard album, a comedy chart album for like, Incred did have the number one Billboard album, a comedy chart album for like, Incredibout was number one for two years, I think until our next album came out.
Starting point is 00:36:10 That's right. And then they nominated us, which let us know they knew we existed. But then you guys lost comedy album to Rick Ross. Exactly, that was his album of impressions. Yeah. And he was fine getting on stage. Yeah, but it was good.
Starting point is 00:36:24 It was good though, he was really good on stage. Yeah, but it was good. It was good, though. He was really good. I will say, I remember hitting the carpet for the Grammys, and we bumped into T-Pain, and we were so excited to see him, of course, we love him. And before he said anything, we were like, I know, I know, he's like, dude. Because we hadn't talked since we got nominated.
Starting point is 00:36:41 And we were like, oh, man, this is not a good look. And he was like, you know how many fucking songs I did this year? This is the one that got nominated. And we were like, oh man, this is not a good look. And he was like, you know how many fucking songs I did this year? This is the one that got nominated. We were like, we know, we're sorry, it's going to go away. ALL LAUGHING I agree. I will say the fear though, the fear that you must have had is because of pain. Because that would be the only reason
Starting point is 00:37:00 that I think it would have crossed the finish line and maybe be out. I mean, it was never gonna be around This Town. That is such a smash. Yeah, we never for a second thought we'd win, which was, again, a relief in why we could take the whole day as kind of a fun joke that we were there as musicians and just wear, I think I wore the tux from the video and just put it on. But I will say everyone else that had a good rap-song collaboration that year, sorry. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Somebody else could have year, sorry. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Somebody else could have used that slot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did any other people from the rap world engage with you that night on how they liked the song? I don't think we really bounced around asking people. Hey, what'd you think about ours? Hi, I'm Kiva. We're like you now.
Starting point is 00:37:42 You might remember me from the video where I was wearing this exact same outfit. I dressed in my costume so that you'd recognize me. I feel like what goes over great at the Grammys is insecurity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember though, you couldn't buy a drink there and T-Pain had some way of getting us them. So we did end up, because we were sitting with him, so we did end up very nicely.
Starting point is 00:38:03 He was sending some assistant type person and he was like, you guys want some? Getting like Jack and Cokes or something. Was he, was he still on Apple Jacks? Cause he's the only guy I have ever seen drink Apple Jacks. Not that I remember it being the reason I remember being Jack and Coke is because I remember when pink was up in the rafters doing her, what's it called when you do that? The essentially the ballet up on the ropes, not ropes, but like... Oh yeah, she killed it. It was amazing. She's singing her whole thing, you know, 50 feet above us, but glitter was raining down from her
Starting point is 00:38:31 and it got into my drink. And that's why I can't make sure it's good. Yarm thorn, here's another yarm thorn, digging it into his side. I'm so fucking glad you guys had such a good time. Seriously. Well, it did not a great time. Keev got fucking glitter in his drink.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Oh, that's true. He did have glitter in his drink. Shit, that's true. He did have glitter in his drink. Shit, that sucks, dude. I still drank it. Keev didn't do this during Jizz in My Pants, I'm just saying. Yeah, or I just had sex coming up soon. Be classy.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Take a note from your good friend Keev. Yo, yo, be classy, bro. There you go. Be classy. Um. Well, so we filmed it in Miami, because we were like, we have a label. We have a few off weeks, because it's the back half of the schedule. So it was whatever, because we were like, we have a label, we have a few off weeks
Starting point is 00:39:05 because it's the back half of the schedule. So it was whatever the off weeks were before February 7th. Timeline, if I can interrupt the timeline real quick, when did T-Pain get involved? Like how soon did he sign on to be in it? We recorded in the summer, it was obviously Andy doing the chorus, we reached out to T-Pain and he said yes in the summer,
Starting point is 00:39:22 but we did not get him on the track for months and months. It was one of those things where it's like, he's in! And then we were like, cool! And then we could not get him to record, because he was just on his own timeline and probably didn't realize. SNL's on the fastest timeline. And Keev.
Starting point is 00:39:33 And Keev or Andy, when did T-Pain, the thought of T-Pain, occur to us? Just because I think it's a fun... Immediately. Just the beat alone, we were probably like, this sounds like the kind of thing that T-Pain's the number one person you'd want singing for us. Right, but also when he came to the show, though.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Oh, good memory. Yes. The reason we thought he might say yes. So when T-Pain came with Mariah Carey, we had met him in the hallway, and we were fans of his, but we didn't think he had any clue who we were. But then he saw us, and he did the ultimate punch from Hot Rod in the hallway. And we all went, what? And he went, ultimate punch. And we were like, oh shit, we love this dude. And obviously within a minute we're like, we would love to do a song with you.
Starting point is 00:40:11 And he was like, just let me know. So we knew he was down, which is our favorite thing and has led to many collaborations because people say that. So we go, let's write towards them then if we know that they wanna do one. And he came, he was at Radio City. Yeah, he did the 50th.
Starting point is 00:40:24 He was great. Which was fantastic. I think that was like extra special when he came, he was at Radio City. Yeah, he did the 50th, he was great. Which was fantastic. I think that was like extra special when he came out. I was like, oh yeah, no, I wouldn't have wanted to see somebody else do this part. Absolutely. We also did it with him live at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:37 When we did, and on our tour, he just happened to be there doing his own set. And then we were like, we're gonna be there too. And so he stuck around and came and did it with us. Did he also come when we did the San Francisco one? Did he? Yes, because he was doing the stage next to us after us. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:50 When we did our very, very, very first concert at Clusterfest in San Francisco. The year before our tour, he came and did it with us live. And I feel like every time we see him, he's onto a different signature kind of drink that he's drinking, which I always appreciate about anybody.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Yeah, it's nice that he has the ability to change, you know, and more. And grow. All right, so now it's Miami. Well, so our album's coming out February 10th. This episode is February 7th. So we know it's the one that we want to put out to get everyone's attention to the record. We did, yeah, we had written the whole album.
Starting point is 00:41:19 And generally speaking, like, the head of our label was like, that one sounds pretty good. Like, everyone was sort of like, you should do a video for that one. And you all agreed? Like, you all knew this was the one? Yeah, I will say YORM. I don't wanna stir up shit. No, no, you always say this,
Starting point is 00:41:33 but you're confusing me with Mr. Neil Brennan. But go ahead. No, no, no, that's something different. I remember you saying it sounds good, but you didn't think it was that funny. Uh... I don't remember saying that, but I more remember saying, that's a fucking smash, can you please put me on it?
Starting point is 00:41:50 And then you guys got kicking me out of the room and you're like, shit. It's crazy, because I don't remember any of that. I guess on the timeline is this, Andy. Yoram said, this is a smash, can you put me on it? And then you guys said no, and then Yoram said, well, good, because I don't even think it's funny. Yeah, well, it's not funny anyway.'"
Starting point is 00:42:06 Yeah, I'm sure that's what happened. I think that Seth has broken it down accurately. You didn't even give it a beat, Yoram. You were just like immediately like, "'Well, good news for you.'" No, no, no. Andy, I do think that I did probably say something like that and was trying to punch up certain parts, and I think that we tried to,
Starting point is 00:42:25 because we always try to respect the third guy who maybe doesn't fully see it. And then we retracted everything that was trying to be more funny. I believe that is what happened. We did try some goofier lines. I can't remember what they were or where they were, but I do remember trying them and then erasing them.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Yeah. My experience with it today is I watched the uncensored first, which doesn't have the SNL laughs. And then I watched the actual feed from the episode. And it's interesting because it doesn't have that thing Lazy Sunday has, there's really no break to laugh. Definitely not. And so there's a cut, when we start going through the song,
Starting point is 00:42:59 I'll say a couple of the laughs. And it also like, it's just so good that people are, I don't think even, I think they get out of, like, comedy head for it. And you realize how funny it is the second or third time you watch it. I think there's a part of it that, again, the doubling down and tripling down, but also the relentlessness of it.
Starting point is 00:43:15 There's a moment two-thirds of the way through where it's clearly the moment in another song where it's supposed to go back to the chorus. And instead, we just do, get the fuck up, this boat is real, and straight back into verse. Yeah. in another song where it's supposed to go back to the chorus. And instead, we just do, get the fuck up, this boat is real, and straight back into verse. Yeah. But the horns come in like it's a chorus,
Starting point is 00:43:33 but we don't stop just doing verse stuff, where it's like, the whole song is basically one continuous hockey stick. Mm-hmm. To use the Silicon Valley terminology. Just goes up, up, up, up, up, and then ends. And there's no, like, peaks and valleys to it. It, like, blossoms with T-Pain getting to do a verse,
Starting point is 00:43:49 and then it ends. Yeah. Exactly. It also starts with a chorus and ends. It's just bookended choruses, right? There's nothing in the middle at all. Correct. We just do I'm on a Boat twice. It's a weird format, for sure.
Starting point is 00:43:59 But I remember us being like, I guess that's OK. We just like how it sounds. Yeah. And it's also really short. You ran a boat like that, I'm assuming you're on the clock the minute. I can give you the very quick rundown of what I remember on a production level, which is it's the weeks before we know
Starting point is 00:44:11 that this is our target to try to have it come on this show so that it'll support the record. We had already even sent the song to iTunes and it was gonna, songs came out on Tuesday back then. So we knew the song was gonna come out Tuesday of this week. So it was already out as a single on iTunes previous to the video coming out, just, you know, by four days, five days. And we decided to go down to Miami because we wanted to look legit and we had done
Starting point is 00:44:35 Jizz My Pants and we knew it was possible. We had planned a two day shoot and T-Pain had confirmed and we were very excited. And then days before he was on tour with Lil Wayne and they were in Canada and they got snowed in and they were afraid that if he came to our shoot he would not be able to fly back to Canada and that he'd get fined a ton for missing a night of the tour. And so we were down in Miami we went for an extra few days because we were going to shoot MTV bumpers as well, because we're on a label and they're setting up
Starting point is 00:45:07 cool promo stuff. So we went down to Miami and we're gonna have five days in Miami even though the shoot was only gonna be two. So we could do MTV promos, which we had devised with some other guys that did a great job. They were, I wish I could remember their names and give them credit, because I actually, it's one of the few things we've ever done
Starting point is 00:45:22 with other people where I was like, hey, they did an amazing job and it was the premise and I didn't they shout out shout out to their other collaborators honestly they were people probably hired for a MTV or worked for MTV that did their little promos that would like in their minds they said is seven million dollars of free ads because it was basically a full week where you'd be the thing bumping you out to commercials and back of every MTV show like throughout the whole week. And it was Daytona Spring Break 88 was the theme. And it was like we were at a wild 80s MTV
Starting point is 00:45:54 Spring Break, and I'm sure you can find them online. I remember those now. Yeah. So we got to have a really fun week in Miami. And back to the plane thing, all of a sudden it was like the whole thing was about to fall apart. So our budget, I forget what it was, but we had to take essentially half of it to a private jet for pain to get him down and get him back. And so it became a one-day shoot,
Starting point is 00:46:15 maybe a day before the shoot. So we had to collapse a two-day shoot into a single-day shoot right before shooting. We had like a really skeletal second unit kind of second day, like, which I think we had like three hours on, but it was like real fucking bare bones. Like maybe the, like the, the camera was just still with us, but it was like. One way we achieved is that the one day became like a 16 hour day, like an insane day, it was insanely long.
Starting point is 00:46:40 And we had two cameras, which we weren't going to have music videos would almost never need two cameras because you we weren't gonna have. Music videos would almost never need two cameras because you're always looking at the camera. So you'd have to, you can't have, not like a movie set where you're... Right. So there's no need for a second camera, but two cameras allowed us to break apart
Starting point is 00:46:55 and be shooting, let's say, Andy's single on the boat, talking about, you know, with the mission accomplished sign, let's say, at the exact same time as Yorma making copies. Making copies, right? Nice! That's right, I do remember, I wasn't even allowed on the boat, that was so cool. Yorm be classy.

Starting point is 00:50:49 I do want to say my favorite memory of this song is Andy's bachelor party in Las Vegas. Do you remember this, Andy? Why you gotta keep bringing up my bachelor party? I'm just saying it was the best, my favorite moment of the bachelor, because it was your absolute nightmare. It was.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Where the DJ said at the club, hey everybody, make some noise for Adam Sandberg. Oh yeah. So first loudly called you Adam Sandberg and then needle dropped I'm on a boat. That's right. Fucking spotlighted you. You were at your absolute, like just a total valley for you.
Starting point is 00:51:24 And then that song started and it was no part of it was comedy. Like, that club went off. Right, people did get excited. You know, it's not like we're, you know, I don't know, dancing to like, uh, eat it. You know what I mean? It's just fully a fucking banger.
Starting point is 00:51:38 I mean, the night after we shot the video, we went out to a club, and the dude who was showing us around had the DJ at the club put it on. Wow. After we shot the video, we went out to a club, and the dude who was showing us around had the DJ at the club put it on. Wow. At a place that they will have that kind of premiere, like let's see how this plays before it comes out. So they're literally, I remember there was people
Starting point is 00:51:57 in glass elevators, it was like a real Miami scene. People dancing on top of tables and shit, and they put it on, like oh shit, so we're looking around the club being like, how's this gonna play, this new song that no one's ever heard with T-Pain on it? And it was a real fucking moment in our lives. It went pretty good.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Yeah, people did not stop dancing. Well, they're not hearing it's a joke, they're just hearing that great beat, and then some guys kinda squawking raps that they can't quite tell what they're saying, and then T-Pain singing, and what's the difference? Might as well have just played the beat raw and people would have kept dancing. We get reports this and like, I Just Had Sex gets played like in Thailand. Like friends will
Starting point is 00:52:33 continually, once a year we'll get a text from someone randomly who's on tour somewhere in Vietnam or Thailand, they'll go, dude, I was just at a place and I Just Had Sex was playing non-ironically at a disco. In a real place. And then you're like, why are you in Thailand? And they're like, I don't want to talk about it. I'm doing BTS for White Lotus. This would play in Australia, apparently.
Starting point is 00:52:54 I'm on a boat would play on like Australian MTV just in rotation. But it would play backwards, right? Yeah, is that how it works? Of course. Yeah, because it's down under. So dope. The boats would be going the other way. Just like their toilet.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Rum, rum, rum, rum, rum. Hey, how fast did, were you then ready with something like this? I had a question, Keith. Did the unedited version go on YouTube right away? Yes. So you never put up the SNL one? Well, we knew even if it didn't air on SNL,
Starting point is 00:53:21 we were putting it out no matter what. Got it, got it, got it. Because we owned it, essentially, the label did, and the album was coming out, so we needed the promotion. It needed to come out one way or another. Right. We were releasing it. So this isn't a case of either or because it was always ready for release.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Exactly. So we were ready with both right off the bat. By the way, it was fun as fuck. The stress of condensing the shoot was stressful, but then we were in Miami shooting a music video. It was really cool. With a helicopter and a yacht. I wish I remembered our wardrobe guy's name, who was our tour down there too.
Starting point is 00:53:52 He was so cool. You're talking about Max Pierre, my friend. Max Pierre, yeah. Amazing that you don't remember that name. What a great name, Max Pierre. He was great. Also, the reason that I remember it is because I went back to Miami
Starting point is 00:54:04 with three other couples and myself who are all people with kids. And I was like, we got to hang out with this guy named Max Pierre, who's the best. And at the time, he was a ambassador for Hennessy Black. So everywhere he took us to, which were all like the most high end clubs. We had to do shots of Hennessy Black, and I was like, my life is pretty cool. That's the best. But yeah, he's the one that played the song, and he's the one that, like, had access everywhere and knew everything to do, and it was such a blast getting to see Miami.
Starting point is 00:54:36 Max Peer, accent or no accent? No accent, yeah, no accent. Could see that break in either way. Not French. We went to Joe's Crab Shack, which was bomb as fuck. Yes. Well, also, and there was a hotel I've, uh, that Payne wanted to stay at. Not French. We went to Joe's Crab Shack, which was bomb as fuck. Yes. Well, also, and there was a hotel that Payne wanted to stay at. We didn't know where to stay, so we were just like,
Starting point is 00:54:49 just put us at the hotel he requested. So we were at this really nice hotel. I wanna say, was it the Mandarin or something? I think it was just the Mandarin, or the Biscayne Bay. But I remember us pulling in, and there were like two bright yellow Lamborghinis or something parked in front.
Starting point is 00:55:04 And we were like, oh shit. And then we were like, you see those? And he's like, those are mine. We were just living the fantasy life of I'm on a boat for the, well also, and then being like, sorry, we gotta go do an MTV thing where we're pretending to be Daytona's screen break. But it was a weird reality folding in the way that Beastie Boys must have experienced a little bit
Starting point is 00:55:22 where even though we weren't going to do any debauchery, we were pretending debauchery for an entire day with young people in bathing suits acting like you're doing spring break. So we were doing like a fantasy camp version. Like we're really cool guys. Yeah, but none of it's real. We were doing all the same things with the boats and the champagnes and the nightclubs and the... and the MTV spring break, and we're filming it really for MTV.
Starting point is 00:55:46 So the reality was like, it was like cosplaying at the highest level. Guys, we hinted at it earlier. Andy, you're great in this. Fucking best of Keev. He goes so fucking hard. You know, I remember talking to Liz when it came out and Liz was like,
Starting point is 00:56:02 I think this is the most into my husband I've ever been. Ooh, really? I thought it was just you guys that she liked, but yeah. No, this is, I mean, it's nuts how great you are in this, Keef. Yeah, they invented the term ham because of this. They saw Keef doing it and they were like, oh, that guy's hard as a motherfucker. Look how nicely we've got Jorm to be so involved in it
Starting point is 00:56:23 that he feels like he's part of it to the audience. This is a video, well it wasn't quite a video invention, but it was an invention of the... No, it is, right? It's not on the album, the free boat ride thing. That's not on the album, right? No. So we invented an entire new concept in To Include Jorm that helps the whole video. When we were working on the video, we went, oh, here's how we do it. And it actually is the premise of the video now and Taint's the whole thing in a good way.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Taint sounds negative. Right, it's historically negative. It paints it. There's a such thing as a good Taint. Yeah, how about Paints? Oh yeah, sure, sure. I have many positive connotations with Taint. Oh my God. Okay, go on.
Starting point is 00:56:58 And I got to be involved in other ways too, because for like all of our albums, I do the clean versions of them. I sort of, you know of remove all the curse words. So I got to remove all of Akiva's curse words. He says it 16 times. He says the word fuck 16 times. So in a way I was really involved.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Just rhyming motherfucker with motherfucker right out of the gate. Yeah, that's one of those complex M&M style rhymes. The word before rhymes, it's... Can I just say, I have forgotten, there's a Santana Shamp ref in this one. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had an arc to the album.
Starting point is 00:57:32 We shipped it down too, it's in the vid. We were like, oh my God, we gotta get some. It was hard to find. These are things I had forgotten. I had forgotten there was a reference to George W. Bush. We do. Mission Accomplished banner. Oh, a visual.
Starting point is 00:57:43 A visual reference. Yeah, thank you. I was like, I don't remember that part. There's another thing I really liked watching the video back, which again, historically I haven't added that element to my relistens. It's all about like champagne and boats and tuxedos, and also hamburgers. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:01 It's very funny. Like there's this real like sort of low end thing with hamburgers. Like every time it comes back to Keeb, he's like holding up two hamburgers. It's very funny, like, there's this real, like, sort of low-end thing with hamburgers. Like, every time he cuts back to Keeb, he's, like, holding up two hamburgers like it's diamonds. They've never been on a boat before. This is what they think it's gonna be like.
Starting point is 00:58:14 But it's great. I guess, again, it's like, everything is, like, high-end, but they also are just like, you just can tell these guys also, like, hope they're burgers on the boat. They're regular shows. I think all that is born out of them flipping burgers and you're flipping copies, right? And then we just had burgers handy and picked up some shots.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Yeah, it's just a setup. Yeah, then it just cuts back to it four times. And it's a little bit like I'm on a boat, how that's the lyric you keep hearing. I also feel like visually, Keev wants you to know he's got burgers, too. Yeah, you need to know that, balling out. I'm watching it on mute right now
Starting point is 00:58:47 and it's just reminding me of some other things, which was like, so we had one day, we had this boat, we had to go out into open water and then drones weren't a thing yet. So we had to get a real helicopter and the helicopter was flown by exactly who you would think it would be, which was an ex Vietnam pilot
Starting point is 00:59:04 who had done this thousands of times. And because of that, and you're gonna lose time, that's also why we needed two cameras, because a camera had to go on that helicopter, and had to, or maybe it's a filming helicopter, and it always would have a camera on it, I can't remember, but essentially somebody had to go- Yeah, it had a rig built into the front of it,
Starting point is 00:59:20 is my recollection. No, no, for sure, but I don't know if you supply the camera that goes in that rig or not. Oh, I believe we did, yeah. But I don't know if you supply the camera that goes in that rig or not. Oh, I believe we did. But there was a moment when, as the director, we would have to disappear to go on it, but we couldn't, because we all had to be on this boat
Starting point is 00:59:32 and be free to shoot. So we had the same team of this guy, Jonathan Leah and Robert Smythe, who had done Jizz. And Jonathan Leah volunteered to go on the helicopter and be the helicopter guy, and who had done Jizz the video, Jizz and My P. I know, but it's just one, I mean, it makes me so happy that you said that I knew exactly what you meant.
Starting point is 00:59:48 And I'm like, what a body of work that you guys have that you can be like, and then, you know, you do Jizz, we did Jizz. Yeah, the number of times we've casually called it that, planning the tour, so we'll go straight out of Dick in a Box and do Jizz and then we'll do, I think we should open with Jizz. Yeah. Classy guys.
Starting point is 01:00:04 So he was up in that helicopter, but it was an hour. It was basically like, at a certain point, he had to go get on that, and we had to get into open water and just be on this boat. So I think we filmed the scene when we're underneath in the cabin of the boat with those big circle windows,
Starting point is 01:00:18 like while the boat is booking out into the ocean, because you're not allowed to film in a helicopter in the bay. You can't bring a helicopter in there. So the boat had to go way further out to allow a helicopter, like at some GPS coordinate to meet us in open water. So then we're now we're out in open water
Starting point is 01:00:35 where it's way rockier and the boat is moving way more because we're not in a nice bay for filming and we have to go climb out into a part of the boat you're not supposed to be standing on in dress shoes. And they put like rubber on our shoes so that we hopefully don't fall off into the water. And got the speakers hidden somewhere there
Starting point is 01:00:53 so that they could blast it. He's on walkie. And all of a sudden we just see a helicopter come up and they're like, yup, it's us. And Jorms, I believe you're in the boat, right? Looking at a monitor. Yeah, I was like hiding as soon as the helicopter came. Yeah, you're hiding in the boat with the crew
Starting point is 01:01:08 that was on the boat with us, with a walkie talking to Jonathan in the helicopter calling out when like, all right, three, two, one, I'm hitting playback cause he can't hear the music either. And then the helicopter knows when to like come in on us. And it was the craziest, it's still the craziest shoot I've ever been on at that moment, like crazy coolest. Having a helicopter swirl around you is,
Starting point is 01:01:29 it's so deafening and fucking, and it was getting close. You see the wind on us, that's wind from the chopper, and it was getting so close to get the shots, and we could barely hear the music, cause it's so loud. I've never had a helicopter get that close in any other, it was, and even T-Pain was looking at us, I was like, holy shit, what are we doing?
Starting point is 01:01:46 Oh, it was genuinely cool as shit. It was definitely the moment we, like, reached another level of how big and crazy we were going, obviously, but we were not unaware of that fact. Like, as it was happening, we were like, how fucking far are we gonna take these dumbass songs? Like, we are fully shooting a crazy-ass,
Starting point is 01:02:08 huge baller video for a record label right now, off the coast of Miami with a helicopter and a yacht. It felt massive and insane. The only other setup we ever did that came close was Roof of the Met Life building for Just Add Sex. But this was the first time we did it like this, and it was... we couldn't believe it. Our minds were blown. The other Yeah. But this was the first time we did it like this and it was, we couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Our minds were blown. The other thing that's great about the fact there weren't drones yet, Keev, is there's two shots from the boat with the helicopter in the background. Yes. One of those is comped, I believe. Ah. Yeah, yeah, but it's real, but it's comped. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:41 It was even in the same shot the helicopter came. It just came at the wrong timing for it to look like a cool shot. That's not even like us, the effects comp. That's just me and Final Cut Pro. It's like a split screen where I'm just grabbing the helicopter from like 20 seconds later and moving it to the time. But I believe the other one is real. Yeah, one is just untouched and one of them is lightly touched, but it's still the same thing. But yeah, I just changed the timing of it. When you did that shot though, Keev, I remember being in edit, and it's the closest we've ever been to being like how Travis Scott's friends all are
Starting point is 01:03:10 when he first plays them his songs. Yeah, being like, oh! Like, oh, fuck! It's fucking so dope! It looks so huge! Oh, we're about to run this shit! I think we were so amped. You slid the shot in half of the split screen.
Starting point is 01:03:25 I remember feeling like that when it played at air, too, of just like even though, because I did feel like it had sort of stunned the audience a little bit, and so there maybe wasn't the laughter necessarily, but it felt like it was like, oh shit, I think that this is gonna really hit in a different way. I mean, it's always crazy to see it play live, but that one in particular was like, oh shit.
Starting point is 01:03:51 But if you want to jump to that night to what Seth was talking about and what you're talking about, I remember feeling disappointed. Go ahead. Do you want to talk about the footage situation? I mean we can talk about for a second I don't know how interesting it is. But yeah, so one of the crazy things along the journey of the video was The I guess the DP. Yeah, our DP the choice. Yeah who we used again. What did we use Aaron Platt? It was Aaron Platt and we used him again on something more recent Oh, you know what he did when we did a reshoot on pop star when we were getting additional stuff for videos He shot like the Emma Stone music video in pop star, right? Nice guy fun, dude Yes, and could really shoot.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Keev specifically, I believe, had asked him to make it feel really frenetic and crazy. Yes. And he was doing this trick while he was shooting footage where he was popping the lens in and out. Which is great. He was popping it off of the camera. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:39 So I just have this vivid memory, Keev, correct me if you feel this is different, of going in there the first day of looking at the footage. We shot it on an off week. So I just have this vivid memory, Keev, correct me if you feel this is different, of going in there the first day of looking at the footage. We shot it on an off week, and then top of the week of SNL we started cutting at 30 Rock, and going in and Keev looking through the footage and being like, we can't make the video.
Starting point is 01:04:58 It's all just fucking flares. There's no fucking footage. I don't have a take of the jokes, of the lines. I can't see anyone's face when we're saying the fucking lines. Like, super in a spiral. And I remember being like, looking at it with you, be like, okay, calm down, I'm sure it's fine. And then looking with you and being like, oh shit. Like, there's not a lot of options here.
Starting point is 01:05:18 And Keev, bless your heart, grinded that fucking edit from Monday till Saturday. Yeah, took a lot longer to edit than other things. Pulling tiny little moments from every single moment. When you see the finished product, you would never know it, because it's so high-energy and dope. And in the end, I'm actually glad it was shot that way,
Starting point is 01:05:40 because it gives it this freneticism that is fucking incredible. Yeah, it's so different. It just made it much more difficult. But it was like, if you are seeing a shot in that video, there is no second option of that shot that was usable. That's what it really was, is you're just seeing all the parts and it worked.
Starting point is 01:05:54 And we got lucky or whatever you want to call it. And he did a great job. But yes, there were moments where it was like, there's a lot in here that the shot we planned is not the shot that's in. Because we would go, I'd go to the shot that was planned for whatever it is, like holding champagne. And I'd go, oh, all of them are out of focus.
Starting point is 01:06:11 We can't do the shot of champagne. And then slowly, as we went through all of it, we would find the right, a different take that was rad at that moment. And there was a second part of it too, which was there'd be tons of setups where all of a sudden you'd be like, oh, here we go, here we go, it's clear, we can see.
Starting point is 01:06:25 And then the boat would rock and one of us would fall. Super hard. Yeah. Yeah. Like, oh, well, we can't use that. You would definitely see the confidence go out of our face a lot. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Where it wouldn't be necessarily a fall, like some that would be funny to see, but it would be like, we're trying to seem like we're the most confident guys on the boat, and you'd feel us like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Starting point is 01:06:49 oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,, we'll play it, I'm not gonna read it, but it's my favorite, you know, four lines.
Starting point is 01:07:08 ["Bowl Engine," by The Bunch of Fools playing on radio, playing on radio, and then playing on radio again.] It is you, it is total Keef in the fucking pocket, and it's just the best. That guy's really proud of being on a boat so much that he's proud that the engine makes noise. And it was quite noisy down there. I don't know, did we use a shot from down there? I don't think we ever did.
Starting point is 01:07:32 I don't think we did. Do I say it on camera as another kind of... There's definitely a couple little snippets of it from when you're down by the boat engine, but it just looks like pipes or something. Yeah, we did go down there. And again, this boat is real, makes me laugh a lot. It's a really dumb thing to say.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you remember asking me if I could get Kevin Garnett to say everything was possible for the video? No, did we ask you that? You asked me, you're like, do you know anybody at the Celtics? Can we send somebody, because they were playing the Knicks that night.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Yeah, ah, yes, yes, yes. And you guys realized, you're like, we would send somebody over and get them, and I did know anybody at the Celtics? Can we send somebody, cause they were playing the Knicks that night. Yeah, ah, yes, yes, yes. And you guys realized you're like, we would send somebody over and get them. And I did know somebody at the Celtics. I believe they're still at the Celtics and now have a way bigger job, but I won't name drop them. But I wrote them and they very sweetly wrote back
Starting point is 01:08:16 and they're like, here's the thing about Kevin. Like, I don't want to talk to him before a game. I was like, totally understand. Yes, yes. Like everything you know about Kevin Garnett and game day preparation would not be like- Yeah, we needed uncut gems, Kevin. Like done with his career.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Sandler realized like timing's important. I'm gonna ask him after he retires, buddy. Oh yeah, you can't ask him when he's not retired. I'm looking at the video, the boat engine make noise is a shot of me fucking with Yoram, like touching your head or messing with you. So it totally works, but it is not what we intended. I probably allowed it to go so frenetic
Starting point is 01:08:50 so that you would have to use that genre. All right, so it airs. It airs. Change is the game. I don't know what I expected from that audience because it is all the things you said, loud and frenetic and like there aren't laugh spots. It's barely jokes to Yoram's credit for
Starting point is 01:09:05 saying stuff. It's conceptual a joke, the whole thing, as opposed to there aren't laugh moments. But I remember it getting applause at the end that I'm sure if we listen right now, we'll go, those are strong applause. But in my warped ears at that moment, having worked so hard and having so much writing on it and feeling so strongly about it in the audience, I felt like I don't know what I needed them to do. Stand up and do, give us a standing in the audience, I felt like I don't know what I needed them to do. Stand up and give us a standing O at the end of it. I don't know what would have made me happy, but I remember having that reaction and going, you know, like a mix of like disappointment and the people at home are going to know like excuses in my head. Like this is an audience that just comes here and stays up all night
Starting point is 01:09:43 to get tickets because they just want to see the laughs. They don't get what this is. This is for real people outside. Whatever, my excuse, I'm wearing my hat. But I remember not being like, we fuck, I was not feeling like high-fiving after it aired. Oh, see, I felt like it was that probably because I was just so jealous.
Starting point is 01:09:59 You might've had a clearer sense of it. I don't know. No, I genuinely felt like it was gonna pop to the home audience. So I sort of didn't care. And it did, right? Like, it was immediately a hit. Yeah, yeah. And I didn't... I was giving the extreme example of my thoughts. Like, I also was like, no, I know that's good.
Starting point is 01:10:15 And I felt good about it. But I, Keev, it was twofold, because I had the same reaction as you. Not exactly the same, but I remember being like, it played okay. And part of that was, you know, at this point, we had done a lot of them where it played crazy... in the studio.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Where we'd be like, fuck, that just smashed, and it feels insane for you when it happens and you've made something and you feel so happy. And so this one, for such a long wind-up of like having written it the summer before, people all being like, that one feels like it could be a hit, then going to Miami, spending all the money from the label,
Starting point is 01:10:51 pulling out the edit and then being like, fuck, here we go. It's like the buildup at SNL is never that long. It's always like I thought of this two days ago. Yes. Now it's on the show. So the expectation of it was like, and also like you said, this is the one that's hopefully going to kick off the album because it's coming out so soon. And
Starting point is 01:11:09 then the reaction couldn't help but feel a little bit like a letdown. And then I feel like also people at the show were like, Hey, good job. That was it too. Like if you went on internal SNL politics of people being nice to us, like the Reba short is diamond, you know? Like 10 times platinum. Like it was, after that aired, the way Lorne congratulated me, you'd think we had just made I'm on a boat
Starting point is 01:11:32 to how the world goes. And the way everyone, like every other castmate or Higgins would be like, now that's good. And when this aired, people didn't kind of say shit. Or they went, hey, nice one tonight. As if it was any other, like, you know, small, like the third blizzard man or something. We were all pretty mad
Starting point is 01:11:49 at how bad you guys had fucked over Yhorm. Yeah, yeah. Yhorm had poisoned the well. I thought it was more stunned to me. That's how I viewed it. Well, Seth, you're the only one that wasn't us. What was your vibe of yourself and other people when that one aired?
Starting point is 01:12:03 I don't reme... I will say it's interesting to not really remember Night Of, whereas for example, I know exactly how I felt when I saw Jack Sparrow, right? Like that was, fuck. And I think maybe even just, even for like comedy SNL people, like we were probably waiting for,
Starting point is 01:12:21 cause again, we never see these things until dress. You're waiting for bigger laughs. Or just like, what's the turn? And then again, you realize like, oh, because again, we never see these things until dress. You're waiting for bigger laughs. Or just like, what's the turn? And then again, you realize like, oh, it's, I mean, again, it's so funny the second time when you know that these two dummies are just gonna think about this boat the whole time. And part of it is that you guys had trained us
Starting point is 01:12:39 to be ready for anything. And so then when like the thing we were ready for it was like, oh no, that's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally fair. I mean, I don't think any of us thought it was our funniest song, and I will also say, in a way, we didn't even realize that it was more broad than we understood, which is a mistake we always make as viewers,
Starting point is 01:12:59 where I'll see something and I'll be like, that was whatever, and then it explodes, because normies are like, I understand it like this. You know what I mean? Like we were not who go on boats. It was also for them. It wasn't just making fun of them. It was also for them.
Starting point is 01:13:12 Like, did we think for the next 10 years, people are gonna be like, we played that shit at Lake Havasu. We were just like, what? That was confusing. Again, I filmed Lobby Baby in Minneapolis on a Friday night. On Saturday night, I was Lobby Baby in Minneapolis on a Friday night. On Saturday night, I was gonna go see you guys
Starting point is 01:13:28 do your concert at the Armory in Minneapolis. On Saturday afternoon, me and Shoemaker and Brooks Wheelin went out on my friend's boat in Minnesota on Lake Minnetonka. We literally went by another boat full of people playing I'm on a boat. And like just unironically, our boat started screaming it to their boat, just screaming the lyrics.
Starting point is 01:13:51 And it was just like people on boats being so happy to be on a boat and finally have a song to express. I mean, that's the best. That absolutely rules. Yeah, it's so fucking rad. It's so stupid and wonderful. It's also like weirdly like that thing of like, you know what? For too long, I've not been allowed to be this happy
Starting point is 01:14:08 about publicly happy about how I feel about being on a book. Guys, I told my fellow podcasters that I have to, I know, very hard out here for my family. So my apologies to the Quaid army, but I'm bailing here. If there's more to talk about this next step, I'd happy to pick it on up. Hey, family first, Keith. Family first.
Starting point is 01:14:27 I love you. Love you, buddy. Love you too. All right, bye. First comment, because there were a few dislikes on the video, and somebody wrote, all the dislikes are from people on land. Land lovers.
Starting point is 01:14:39 Was it you, Yoram? Like myself. Yeah, it's all me. Just under pseudonyms. And then somebody, I just like, I like a YouTube comments section how, you know, everything's written flatly, you know what I mean? Like nobody's putting anything in it. And someone just wrote,
Starting point is 01:14:53 my favorite part is when they were on the boat. Yeah, I like that. I like that too. That's terrific. I don't think we need to go any further. I think- Can I just say one last thing? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Because I, Jorm, you're my dear friend. And I can see that you're my dear friend, and I can see that you're a little still maybe sore about not being on the song. But I do want to just point out, we have a history of this, and I never complained when in four iterations, I was referred to as Steve the c***.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Who invited Steve, that dude's a c***. I don't know what you're talking about. And there I was, front and center for my close-up. Yeah. Happy, just happy to be included. You know what I mean? Just happy to be included, my man. So just be classy, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:15:40 Hey, don't just keep it classy. Keep it classy, Orv. We're gonna continue to keep it classy, guys. Guys, I just wanna say, the pod is back. The energy was great. Woo! We got all four of us. And...
Starting point is 01:15:55 There's lots more, honestly, there's lots more to talk about about I'm On A Boat, but this was a ton. And you know what? I think we're going to, we're gonna just chill until we get Keef back. And we love everybody. Yeah. Love you guys. Love you. Love you.
Starting point is 01:16:07 You are my, I especially love you. I love you too, always.
