Fly Emirates, fly better. Hey, everybody, Seth here. Before the episode starts, I just wanted to let you know that this one has a video on YouTube.

Yoram wanted to show off some of this stuff that Quaid Army had sent to him, so we turned the cameras on. Anyway, jump over to YouTube if you want to see that or just continue to listen audio only. Enjoy. Hey, everybody. It is a special Thanksgiving edition of the Lonely Island podcast. And why it's special is we're going to really drill down on something we're very thankful for, which is Yorm's survival and then subsequent recovery. Isn't that right, Yoram? That is right.

And, yeah, let's get into it right now. It's the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast. Hi, Yom. Hi, Seth. You reached out and asked to do something sort of as a way to say thank you to QA, Great Army. Yes, I did. I also sort of wanted to, I don't even know what prompted this exactly,

but I think that I've just had this feeling when talking about my injury, where I don't want to I don't want to waste our time on the pod talking about this and it's not particularly funny always but I also sort of wanted to like because so many people have written and said like it's how inspiring it is

to like put a brave face on this and how like we're you know I'm trying to be funny or like or you know like are not trying to be funny but I'm trying to like you know gloss over certain parts of this and I do want to sort of mention that this hasn't been easy, none of it has been easy, and there's been many moments that I've had that

are painful and small and, like, lonely, like, moments that I've had in the hospitals or, like, are in rehab where my family leaves, and I'm just left alone at night, feeling, like, like, curled up in a ball, like, in pain, being like, ugh, good, and just feeling sort of pathetic and depressed. And, like, and I know that there's a lot of people, and people who have written, too, who have gone through similar experiences. I'm incredibly lucky in that that I am going to be okay. I'm going to walk again. I wasn't paralyzed. I didn't die. This was a injury that like that both me and Mari in particular were, I don't think we realize how dangerous this was. Like 20% of people die from an open fracture. And so like so I'm just incredibly lucky. I am graduating next Monday. I don't know when

this is going to air if it airs or how we're going to release this. But, um, but I'm going to be walking as soon as like next monday that's three months from when i fell and that's amazing like that's that's a testament to like western medicine and the surgeries i got and all the people who helped me uh do get get to this point my pt people everything but like but i just sort of wanted to like mention that you know this is there's been a lot of really sucky moments like and and really funny moments two of just like, of just feeling sort of small and pathetic. I've been shooting this video with my daughter and my whole family. Like, I like just to use my creativity like while I've been stuck inside. So I made this whole six minute epic movie with my daughter who's five, like

where we're twinning her. But there's these moments of lying on the floor, like groaning to get down into position so I can get a shot of my daughter. She's smaller than me. And I'm like, does no one want to make this movie? And I'm like, and I'm groaning because I'm in pain. And the dog runs up. Like my crutches are clattering to the floor and my dog is running up, like, humping my leg. Can I jump in your... Does anybody other than you want to make this movie?

They did. They did. Okay, great. They did. And then as I kept saying that the eyelines were wrong and that she had to do it again, then it got to a point where, like, no one wanted to make the movie. And then I had to get Mari. my wife in who's a much

in arguably a better director than me to be like a kind director so there were two directors on this and you know finally they had somebody who was so you're directing a movie nobody asked for and you actually got replaced is that basically what I replaced to be fair I replaced myself

and by the way this eyeline thing I don't know people get hung up on it but again as we've established Sergio criterion eye lines all over the place here's the thing when you're twinning when you're twinning An actor who's five.

Eiline's got to be right. They've got to be flawless. Twinning is... Oh, look at this. It's very exciting. Hi, guys. We've just been... This is so exciting.

Yorma's doctors join. This is my doctor. What you say,ra? Hi. Hello, doctor. How are you guys? We're wonderful. Thank you for everything you did for our friend Yorma.

Oh, it's my pleasure, Yorma. You look great. Thank you. Thank you. Well, I got a ring light on me. So does Seth. You don't have one, so it's not fair to you. But you know what, your electric smile, I think lights up your own face.

It's a very, as doctors go, you do have an electric smile. You're joining us from your car. This is not the car you operate out of, correct? There's a separate car for that. Generally speaking not. Yorma had texted me about this yesterday. And he's like, and then I realize just how ridiculous my life is because I can't even coordinate 10 minutes.

He's like, can you just jump on? I'm like, I'm in surgery. He's like, yeah. Is that wrong? Look, we have two other hosts of this podcast, and they're not in surgery and also haven't figured it out. So don't be too hard on yourself. Now, can I ask a quick, and then I'll let Yoram asking these questions.

You know, we have had, you know, Gallo's humor talking about Yoram. But how bad was it when you first laid eyes on it? He's a lucky guy, clearly. as he's a blessed guy like it people get badly hurt with this like yorma but some of them don't make it but yorma is too good for that right where does this stack up in terms of surgeries like is a fairly normal one what like how uh go into detail well i go i do some pretty uh large things to people so yours is a middle of the road thing. Oh, okay, great.

Damn it. That wasn't the answer I wanted. But you are the greatest, of course, right? So we, I will tell you of the four people who host this podcast, you definitely got the best patient is our take. Has Yorma been as good of a patient

as the three of us have sort of perceived him to be? Well, he is very good. He has a great attitude and he's upbeat and maybe his humor helps. And you know, sometimes he will text me, in the middle of medication early on

and make me laugh. Yeah, we've got him on the pot a few times early in the medication cycle and that's been good. I do want to say if he's ever said stuff to you, like, will I ever run again? I've literally never seen him run. I've known him for like 25 years. So don't let him like try to pin his lack of athletic.

I used to skateboard in the hallways of S&L. Sure, sure, sure. That's classically not running. He's ready. What are you doing now? Are you doing car wheels yet? No, not yet. On Monday, as long as my new surgeon who's replaced you in New York, Alex, approves me,

then I will be weight-bearing. So I was, we're using this moment to recap my injury. Will you describe what you actually did, if you even remember what you did since you do so much cutting? Sure. So when poor Yorma came in, he had just taken a small tumble off his barn. and had managed to explode his pelvis, which is kind of the ring around us. So I'm sorry, he keeps saying that,

but that's a medical term. Like, I mean, so he broke it. Yeah. It's a ring. It's a physical, like, circle. And so the unique properties of a ring are you really usually cannot break it in one spot. Got it. So he broke the front and he broke the back.

But then the back. Part of it, which is me, is where the spine attaches to it. And so, and his fracture was just kind of so destroyed that his spine was not attached to the lower part of his body. So I reattached him. And he had broken the lower part of his spine as well. But, so he's kind of, you know, all screwed together. How often do you go in and it's a surprise because it felt. felt like, like, even when you were like, you were going to try to work off the lower lumbar,

and then you had to, like, add a, uh, a lumbar, right? To be able to, like, attach everything? Correct. How often is that the case that you go in and you're just like, oh, this is harder than we expected? Or, like, it's just going to require more hardware? Well, you get, you get, um, you get a sense of it from your scan. So you kind of have a sense of what you might be dealing with. And then when you get in there, there's always a little bit of a personality to the injury.

So yours was just like we could see that fracture in your fifth bone and it was a little bit more angry than the CAT scan and MRI might suggest. And so then we had to, you know, make some adjustments on the fly as we go. But, you know, that is, we're prepared for that pretty routinely as we go because things like that will happen. But then, you know, you're young and strong and you have good bones and so you came together great. The amount of times I heard that was shocking. Like, you're a young guy. Don't feel like a young guy, but, you know. The bummer is, in order for you and I to feel young,

Yorm, we have to do stuff only old people do. Just go to hospitals. We have to take really bad falls. Yeah. Yeah, usually people who take headers off ladders are much older. Support comes from Factor. You know, everybody on this podcast, we got kids, we got podcasts, we got other jobs.

And between all of that, finding time to cook can be That's why we're all fans of Factor. They're chef-prepped, dietitian-approved meals, make it easy to stay on track and enjoy something comforting and delicious no matter how hectic the season gets. And you know what? Forget about when my family's in town. When my family's out of town, first thing I do is I order Chinese food. That is my guilty pleasure. And I eat it, and I'm happy for about five minutes.

And then I'm sad for about three days because I ate too much. And the great thing about Factor is they have all the global flavors I love. They're Asian-inspired meals with bold flavors. influenced by China, Thailand, or more. Give me that taste I'm craving without that sad afterburn. From more choices to better nutrition, that's why 97% of customers say the Factor

help them live a healthier life. Feel the difference no matter your routine. And Andy, why don't you tell him why you love Factor? And then if Andy sent in his voice note, we'll just play that here. I'm sure he did because I texted him and said it was important. Felt like he wasn't carrying his weight with the ads, so probably right about now he's talking about Factor.

And thanks, Andy, for not leaving me hanging. Support comes from rag and bone. Hey, Yorn. Hi, Keeve. Tell me if this sounds familiar. Winter rolls around. You start digging through your closet for warmer clothes. And nothing feels quite right anymore.

Oh, my God. This is very visual. Go ahead. Those beat up pants from college. Ugh. Yeah. Probably time to retire them. Yeah.

It's time to upgrade to Raggin' Bones infuse denim. No joke. I love Ragenbone and denim. Who doesn't love denim? It is nice. We'll get to infuse denim because that's what we're here to talk about, but I actually... Oh, yeah, yeah, we've got to build up to that. I actually, yeah, rag and bone, I was very pleased to see it on here because I do wear a lot.

Yeah, both of them. When we went on tour, I believe my jeans were raggedone, and I definitely have worn a raggedon bone button-up shirt a ton. Also, when we... First, in New York, like, SNL days, I remember being like, ragam bone is the tip-top of, like, the store that I want to go to the most. whenever we had like a Sunday and I was I wasn't exhausted I was like I'm there yeah there was one in the West Village it might still be there I'm not sure it was very big and very nice now there's one in LA on Melrose place go there guys but so I was really thrilled because they offered to send me something and I'm sure

you too but you maybe didn't follow up because you were in the hospital and it was this thing called infused denim line and I got a shirt that's like a button up shirt that's kind of like just heavy enough to wear like over a t-shirt where you'd, like, roll up the sleeves a little bit. It fits in with my, my damn flash's wardrobe. Right, like a work, work. By the way, I saw some people trying to guess where it was, and they were wrong. I haven't seen someone guess the right.

Okay. Why don't you go to Ragginbone instead, guys? I mean, my wardrobe now will be mostly Ragabone and my secret store. But the shirt's dope. I wish I was wearing it right now, so I could show it to you, but it is just, uh, what a, what a jackpot for me to get a shirt I really would have bought. Keeve, you and I are so similar style-wise that I'm glad I live on another. coast so I can get that exact same outfit and not feel guilty when we show up as twins.

I think it would be totally fine now, yes. And then they sent over, I mean, I selected from the infused denim line, also a pair of jeans. The wash is where the infused denim really shines. Each pair goes through eight-step over-dye process, giving rich layered tones and deep dimensional shades that look polished yet effortless. Over time, the color and texture evolved, adding even more character with an authentic lived-in touch. And I will say that is what it looks like, you can just look at it and you're like, oh, that's a step beyond a normal kind of like denim button. I'm sure if there's something going on with it. That looks nice. So this is the actual one you got. Yeah. I wish I had thought of to bring it up here. I could

have shown it to you. Gotcha. It's time to upgrade your denim with Rag and Bone.

because the trauma surgeon kind of started up in the front and put together the front part of your pelvis, and then I inherited the second part of it, and that was probably about three hours or so. on the back portion of it to kind of put it you together, and that was a little bit into the evening as these trauma things kind of go, right?

Is that a longer side of a surgery for you, three hours? That's probably middle to shorter side for the kinds of things. Because I'm usually doing, like, major deformity surgery where people are like scoliosis or kind of bent in half and crooked, that kind of thing. But we do a little bit of everything, tumors and trauma, unfortunately. Do you have a favorite kind of surgery? Are you like, oh, man, that's a good one?

I have to say yes, because I really do like trauma, honestly, because they're kind of interesting, challenging cases, and, like, major deformities, like, scoliosis and things like that. That's usually my work. I will try to tie it to our podcast. I would imagine trauma is, trauma surgeries is the closest to working at SNL in that you don't have a lot of time to prepare. you're sort of finding out as it goes what you need.

Nice, Diane. Well, there is definitely an element that you will need to be able to improvise or at least have plan A through Z. And there's always good stories attached to these things. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. No, I loved mine story. Did you talk to Yorma before the surgery, or was it so sudden that you didn't get to actually have a conversation with them until after? No, fortunately, we did get to talk beforehand.

Andrew or my, it's not, that, that does happen, and those are kind of tougher things to tackle because, you know, somebody's really in bad shape then. I mean, it's really, like, when, when this guy showed up with his, his beaming white smile, you know, it's hard, hard not to trust a guy like that. It was like, oh, this guy. Like, even when it was going to be late, I was like, he'll be fine, he'll be fine. It's going to be 11 o'clock in night. He'll be fine.

He's got energy for days. I don't know what your toothpaste is, but if they want to be a sponsor. of the podcast, we could talk. Our testimonials would be very authentic. You know, it's like kind of a normal world. Like you're there and I realize like it's the strangeness of my world where that's fine. You're like, it's 10 o'clock, let's go.

And you're like, ah, this is done at 10 o'clock? Yeah, you've got to go right now. Excuse my ignorance of being a total layman in this. But when, at what point in your schooling did you know this was this sort of sort of medicine you wanted to practice? You know, I, when I was going through, I was a med student, and I was walking down the hall of surgery, trying not to be lost, and I peered into this room, and they had this, it was a broken leg at that time, and I saw them put this, it's essentially a wire into this, like,

the wire is maybe three feet long, and it just disappeared into the, into the, into the, Leg, and I got the Willys, and I said, I don't know what that is, but that's what I'm going to do. Oh, my God. It's so funny that you, like, everything, while you were saying it, all I could think was keep walking. You're not supposed to see that. Like, 99% of people, that's the reaction.

And speaking of which, just to tie it to, because I can't imagine that you text with a lot of your patients necessarily, I just want to feel special here. but I sent the text that we were doing last night to Seth because I wrote to you, could you do 10 a.m. tomorrow? Seth can do then. Or are you going to be cutting up bodies, you freak? Because I, but it's like, it's true, though.

Like, it's like you are, you actually said it too. Like, I think you maybe even had a surgery this morning, did you? Yeah, I'm actually between, I'd had one surgery, and I was telling you, I don't know if I'm going to make it. on time, but it worked out great, actually, and perfect, so I'm between cases. Stressing between surgeries, this is not mid-surgery,

you did not walk away saying, I got a quick... Oh, yes. Pop to my car for a quick pocket. I immediately said it would be super cool if you did it mid-surgery. Yorma did ask, do you think the patient would go for that? And I did say, I think that would be a little weird, you know?

Yeah, that would be a little weird. Yeah. By the way, while Yoram's calling you a freak, he's the one like, hey, we need the patient on. Let's get some blood on this podcast. Well, again, I cannot thank you enough. We're so happy to have Yorma back on his feet as a Monday, knock on wood. And yeah, I mean, again, we are, you know, shout out to our medical professionals everywhere.

You know, we hopefully don't need someone like you, but thank God you're around when we do. Oh, that's kind of you. Guys, this was so much fun. want to thank you, too, would you say, like, honestly, like, I, I, I, there, there are no words and, and really, like, you're the absolute best, and thank you for, uh, for everything you do. Oh, that's so kind of you. And, uh, and, and please give our appreciation to your whole, uh, your whole team over there. I will. I, they're, they're going to die to hear about this right now. What's your next surgery? Where are you going

into next? I'm going to fix somebody's neck next. Uh, they have a, you know, fragment of, uh, that is pushing on their spinal cord, so we're going to fish that out and make them better. All right, well, good luck in there. Yeah. All right, guys. Nice to talk to you.

Thank you so much. Thank you, Doctor. Thank you. Yep, bye-bye. Support comes from Cash App. You know, the holidays are coming around, and we spend a lot of time with extended family. And when I'm with mine, pretty much every other day,

Also, the fact that he gave me his number, which I was like, the moment he did, I was like, You fool. Yeah, he didn't know. I should have asked, when did you realize that Yorma was Yormo? I do. He's the kind of doctor that if I knew he was doing my surgery, I would think, I got to live so I can text this guy one day. Yes? Or like, I don't play golf, but I was like, maybe he plays golf.

Maybe I should take him golf and play golf with him. Oh, I wanted to open with this, Yorne, but somebody sent a really funny comment. It was the rankings of the hosts on... Oh, no, did I slip in the ranks? Maybe I'm fourth. Fuck. No, ready? All right.

It was the bottom, Yorma. Oh, fuck. Next up, Andy. Yeah. Then me. Oh, okay. Then Andy, if he quibbied. He's the best host.

No, then Keeve. Then Yoram after he fell off the ladder. Basically, you went. from bottom to top. Was it worth it? Of course not. But I think the world, and you know, maybe this is more of a shout-out to the pharmaceutical industry or just your new lease on life. But you're, everybody, I think the world agrees. Yeah. You know, it just, we managed to shake the podcast host out of you that we always knew was on it. Gotta, gotta stay on those drugs. This is really good. This is bad news for me and, and my addictions. This is a nice transition because I will say, what I, I really wanted to say in this in this podcast beyond just talking about myself and my surgery is is just a big thank you to all of our fans and honestly how i've been blown away by one like this year volume i don't have a late night tv show set i'm sure you get you get mail all the time uh because you're a great guy and you're i can tell you your since you are getting your meal at my p o box you are getting 10x as much

where's the, where's the, that pillow that I had, I don't know where it is, but like, but just the amount of, like, mean, I just got this today. Somebody sent me our own DVDs of Hot Rod and Popstar and just the pure sarcasm of that is just through the roof

I'm absolutely that's really nice to send you yeah DVDs and movies you made yeah which is also like to be given a DVD right now is almost a a personal attack it's great like go buy a DVD player now

and I got to buy both because one's a DVD and one's a Blu-ray so you'll buy two machines to actually watch this thing. Do you have anything else on hand I have so many things Seth and I wanted this is why we want wanted to make this a video podcast because this is a video podcast you can uh you can check it

out and by the way i know it's shocking that uh we have not done video yet on the podcast i will just say the reason is uh that yorm keiv and and and and and and indeed and most of the time i'm 100% nude too and so like so we were just like we don't want to get arrested but people have knit me things this is a hat i got a beautiful knitted hat i got two knitted hats i got um very nice shirt that's uh this one says uh there's three of these too which i i i love yorm really yorma yeah giant giant oh yeah giant i think that's from my family so that they can walk around and actually yeah oh i see it right support yeah i guess giving you i will say that's a lot like the DVD giving you a shirt that says i love yorma is not really a gift for you it's hard to

to wear that around the house and it's also i mean it's weird to put you in the position of them being the person who's giving it away. Yeah, but I mean, you know, Seth. You know me, Seth. That's actually a great, that's a great thing for me to do. Like, I could easily give that to you as a president. You would hate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Here's, I got, we got quite a few Quaid Army shirts. This one is a sort of military style, righteous kill at the bottom. I, you know, I do a Q&A every night. My show I haven't mentioned I'm getting a lot of Kuid armies. I am also your, I'm getting a lot of people asking after you. People will ask during my Q&A how you are, which is lovely. The only downside is I will, I think, you know, probably 80% of my audience is not listed in the podcast. So then I have to say, oh, he's asking this because, and then I have to tell the gnarliest story.

And then I have to say. Yeah, because I'm like, oh, he's asking how my friend Yorm is because he fell off a ladder. Tell this, I'm using the medical term, blue to fucking smitheree. He said exploded. I exploded. I exploded. My pelvis. Like, I was like, did you go to med school with Yorm?

Yeah, fucking exploded, dude. It's the same thing with cutting. It's just weird to just sort of say that they're cutting. I'll be between cutting. I'm like, this is strange. Okay, here, hold on. There's more shirts. I want to show some shirts here.

This one is very stylized, and I have four of these. Oh, this is a great one. So hold that on. We got to make it. So that is a Quaid Army. I can't quite read. What is Quato saying? Well, it says, he says, any of you quades got a smit,

and it's Bill Hater, and then it's Andy's Faces's Quaid. Yeah, Bill, it's often forgotten that Bill is, of course, the body that the Cuado first came out of. He's Jamie, I think is his character's name. That's a really, and we were saying it's like good, like it's sort of like Archie Comics animation. This one's awesome, and it's very soft too,

so it's fun to wear it to bed. We got, okay, this one, here's the thing. With Cuadot being a character that is somehow, you know, representing our podcast, Quato's horrible looking. And so, like, a lot of, A lot of things that have Cuado's face on them

are just a bummer to look at. And some of these shirts are equally, this one reminds me of a present that I got for your mom, which is a... Oh, yeah. Because I don't know if we talked about... We talked about the...

How I had a shirt airbrushed for your mom for her birthday. Yeah, that says real G's what? Move in silence. Real G's moving silence. And by the way, Yorm, I found it this weekend and forgot to take a picture of it,

but I will put it in the chat soon so that people could see it. Well, what I love about gifts like this, and I may have mentioned this, is that I love airbrushing because airbrushing is one of those art forms where no matter how good you are, it's awful, just awful to look at.

And you can't give that away now because it's like, it's a present and you're like, and so you're stuck. You know what? That's really the thing about it. Enough effort went into it that you feel bad throwing it away, even though the effort was wasted because it looks awful. The only one that I, and this wouldn't be a podcast about my injury

without me name-dropping someone, but I made one for Tracy Morgan that says because I'm Tracy Moore, Morgan has his screaming face, airbrushed huge on his, on his, on the chest. And he's the only person that I'm like, oh, he might wear this. He might wear this around his, like, giant fish tank with his sharks in it. I, Alexi is often, I kind of feel like Alexi said, are you ever going to wear this about my mom's big face, you know, airbrushed onto a shirt? And the reality is I'm probably not going to wear it,

but I feel like throwing away an airbrush shirt that was given to you as a gift is a little bit like begging for a Sergio-style curse. You know what I mean? Yeah. Oh, yeah. You're damned for all the time. I think there are certain things you can't do. Okay.

Well, while you're getting the next one out, speaking of Quaid Army and Arnold, I had our friend Edgar Wright on the show talking about his new movie Running Man. I didn't see it. How was Edgar? It's fantastic. It's so fun. Edgar is just a blast to be around because also Edgar, a car carrying member of Quaid Army. Oh, yeah.

He's the best. And he was very, it was, you know, again, I feel like, you know, back in our New York days was when I saw Agar the most. But he was sort of saying how sweet it is that he feels like he knows more about what's going on with us than he does with his own parents. That is one of the pluses and minuses is a podcast, I guess. Yeah. So I then am going to, I'm going to start doing a podcast with his parents. By, per his request. I have to imagine that they both sound like, Edgar.

Eat your cereal. Right? I assume that they eat cereal. I'm sorry, I, Gary. That was a rude impression of you. You can do one of me whenever you want. This is, because you mention any, like on the podcast, just mentioning that I wanted a solid,

the spelling bee reference. By the way, that's, I wasn't kidding. That's basically where I end up every day. I get solid. I'm like, a solid spelling bee t-shirt is genuinely the funniest one yet. Yes. Yes. And I have a hat that says solid, solid, too. And I actually, I wear it all the time. And I love it, but I don't, I've, I've worn it so much that I've misplaced it now. And then here's another hat, too. Yeah, Yorn Thorns. Yeah, Yorn Thorns. That's great. Hey, I, we're going to, we are going to show this again, but since it's a video pod, let's show it now. Can we, do we have the last version of, of Tappers, Cuado?

Oh. How does he have time to do? What do we think? Are you happy with you? I feel like you've gotten worse. I'm fine with that because I feel like, you know, that maybe he's drawing the inside of me. Yeah. I think Andy,

I think he's trying too hard on Andy now. I feel like if he swapped out me from last time, then we'd be solid. I will say, I feel good. You know what? I should not be giving notes on other people. I just want to say, I fully sign off. I'm very happy with where I'm at.

The thing is, is that it looks like he draws these on an iPad. program he'd like so which is very savvy yeah like the only other person I know who like does that is like a another name drop is Phil Lord like oh the only person I know who like really like sketches on these things all right what else you got do you got anything okay let's see yeah well then there's there's some ones that are like ladder promotional ladders are whack this one says okay so that's ladders are whack and they made that they made that but I will say like this isn't one that I'm gonna wear a lot if I'm being completely honest

I so appreciate the effort but like and it has like scar I think that this is like scar scarring maybe that's next to the ladder I like the ladder is you know ladder is spelled from top to bottom so it's kind of the letters of ladder are making a ladder and R-Wack

is at the bottom and it does seem like is there like a hole that maybe you had fallen into yeah that's the part that's a whack and then it says on the side it says detached sacram productions. So like, you know, people put some effort into that one. And then, oh, this one's great. And our buddy Jack will appreciate this one. I almost want to send it to him. But this

is a one-man Quaid Army Corps, and it's an abbreviation. And it's Jack's face. That's really good. Yeah, he looks really handsome, does he? I made the mistake on my show saying once that I am terrified by the Mac Tonight, that old McDonald's guy. Yes. The Big Moon? guy? Yeah, the big moonhead guy, which I guess has also been co-opted by like white supremacy culture, so, you know, real double-barreled bummer.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. I think it's like Peppy the Froggish type. Like, they call him moon man. I guess what I'm saying is if you see somebody with like a giant moonhead, they might just be not, it might be more than they're like Craven burgers at six. So that's a bummer.

And then I can't remember how I, but I think at some point I was like, stop sending this. This would be like if you guys sent me like Bill Cosby albums. And so then they've just been doing that. They just get a lot of... The P.O. Box is just full of old, like, Cosby books and albums. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of, I've gotten... These were trading cards from the original Total Recall.

So people... I'm a Quaid. This is all... I'm sorry, I'm not, like, giving individual names for everyone who sent me stuff, but... Quato, yeah, Quaid means Quo... That's a good... That... That Quato card is a good... You know, that really proves your point that you don't really want Quato on a piece of clothing. No, I mean, at all. And here's some original pins that were also done for Total Recall, which, you know, so a little disturbing.

All these are, there's a lot of disturbing stuff that got said to me as well. But in terms of talking about, like, people have sent me books that they've written and comic books. I mean, it's just been incredibly nice. And the amount of, like, letters that I've gotten. Here's another pin that someone made, which is also disturbing. Andy's face, but I really like these. ones. I might actually be able to put this. But, you know, when you got kids, it's a little hard to

explain something like this. Yeah. Quaid Army pin with Andy's face as Quato. You kind of love Andy's lack of vanity every time you see Aquato. Oh, I think he loved it. And it was always like one for, I don't know, if it's like one for him, one for his parents. Because like, again,

exactly half of his sketches, he looked very handsome. And then the other one, you know. I like it. I like how much we can complement each other. I do, I do, I do feel like Andy's era of hair could either lend itself to like really a bummer or like oh that's nicely quaffed I really like that

yeah yeah um here's uh here's a original piece of art done by oh I like that uncle wax yeah it's Kevin Powell and it's actually like painted hand painted and it says on the back congratulations uh you have just received like you like how far I have to put it away from my face

uh you have just received a custom hand painted art card please do not throw it into a river and it's signed which is very nice it's a reminder that you guys did not have

trading cards for Hot Rod yeah yeah yeah like you know like when it came out like

yeah yeah like no one ever wanted a Kevin card he was like I'm gonna get I'm gonna get I'm gonna get

Yormin old Kevin card and they didn't want in eBay and he immediately was like oh I think I got to paint one

did I tell you that after after Hot Rod came out I was talking to Lauren and we were talking about the failure

of the movie and he was talking about like different aspects of the failure of the movie. He was like, well, you know, in a normal version of it, you would have been played by a 14-year-old boy. Yeah, yeah.

That's one of, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a Lorne Thorne. Yeah. You being Kevin is a classic, Lorne Thorne. Hey, so, and again, I'm going to bring this up. Apologies to everybody who's going to, I mean, because I'm going to have to tell the other few guys. We've obviously been digging into the fact that there's a conspiracy. I don't know if it's a conspiracy or it's like,

Basically, whoever's behind New York Times games is trying to make coded contact with us like Cold War Spies. Oh, really? Today, there was more today. First of all, we heard from Hambone, John Hamm, friend of the pod. Because he immediately, like, 6 a.m. was like, what's going on? Because in Connections, one of the words was Yolo. Oh, yeah, they were sending us coded messages like that, like straight to the public. Yeah, so that's like, all right.

That's like just, that's the first thing. Crossword today. I mean, again, I'm one of the hosts, so I'm going to count it. Late night host, Seth. Yeah. But here's the crazier one, Lauren. I'm sorry, here's the crazier one. You can call me, Lauren, it's fine.

Brand whose customers made its Super Bowl ad in 2025. Really? And you know what it is? Sprite. No, it's a tie-in to us. They're trying to communicate with us. Think Super Bowl ad. Oh, Airbnb.

Derinos. Oh, Biori. Doritos. Doritos. Didn't you make a Super Bowl for Doritos? Yeah, I did. But here's the thing, Seth.

The Gabapin, when I take it, it's about an hour after it. I see. That it starts to really kick in. And I'm not taking like horse doses here. Again, in the end, everybody, you know, I feel like I have no judgment to the good people at Doritos.

I, uh, you know, I love artistic expression. I love big swings. And I also completely understand all the choices they made. It was honestly, I would say the biggest bummer was just that we had to make another video saying that we didn't make a video. That was the hard.

And you know how hard it is to get the three of us together. It was just really hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It would be like, for example, if someone at, like, Doritos, like, had fallen on their sword for this one. And, like, years later, they're like, whatever happened to that big Doritos job, you had marketing. It's like, there was this awesome thing. They wouldn't air.

You want to see it? And they'd show it. And then people would be like, oh. You're fired. Oh, Jeffrey, you shouldn't have. You shouldn't have stood up for that. Jeffrey, not that. I just also, like, hearing now from the new casino, like, there's obviously turnover at companies, which I, you know, in Hollywood, I just assume it's every, like, six to months or a year that there's a whole new brass.

But, like, clearly that's the case with Pepsico, because, like, just having people be like, I've never heard of this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I'm like, well, let's air this thing that's been talked about on a podcast. I love it. Yeah, no, this definitely got memory hold over there. They put it. Certain amount of interns. Have I made the joke that they put it?

Where are they? They put it with the arc of the covenant? It seems like something I would have said before. I'm getting a contact penton hit off Yorm. So apologies if I'm repeating myself as well. All right. So long story short, Yorm reached out because he wanted to thank Quaid Army. He wanted to thank his medical team.

And that was the purposes of this. And it was lovely to see you, Yoram. Slowly to see you to, Seth, and for anybody who's going through anything like this, my heart, it goes out to you, and it is, a lot of people have reached out who have gone through things like this. And it's, it's one of those moments where the minute you actually have something bad happened to you and you talk about it, you realize there's how many people have gone through something either similar or going through something similar. And I just, I really appreciate it. And if you can do anything, do no need to send me anything else. I have been absolutely satiate. Thank you guys so much for everything.

All of your cards and letters have really met the world to me and my family. And I also want to thank my family more than anything for having to go through this, my kids and my wife. But if you want to do anything, I would just say, if you can reach out to somebody today or whenever you hear this, that means something to you and you feel grateful for a fucking, you know what? Are you playing me off? I am, I was playing you off. But really, thank whoever has done something nice for you. It really means the world to me.

I'm the sincere guy, Seth. And people love that about me. Will you sing me into Seth's Corner real quick? Seth's Corner, this is the part of the minicast, whatever this is, where Seth talks about, hopefully he's not talking shit about me, part of this show. I got my teeth clean last week, and my dental technician is going to join real quick. Please say that's true. No.

Also right after me saying that, that's what I want to have happened. So, Gary. How bad was it? This is kind of like, right down the middle. Was there any target? Classic. Yeah.

Calculus, yeah. We should have, Gary, we should have let you go first. We sequenced this pod bad. All right. I love you, buddy. Love you, too, Seth. You're the best. Later, Arnold.

Later, Arnold.
