Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm very happy to tell you about a thing I know but on the other South Mars podcast show I'm very, very happy to be with my bros I love a morning pod where I get to use my late night Seth Myers mug with a cup of job I mean I would say this is optimal timing for the pod and I know it doesn't work out often
Starting point is 00:00:19 it's super optimal for me because it's a hiatus week at late night with Seth Myers so I had nothing but time for the old pod this week did a lot of prep I feel like people are going to be really psyched You look well-rested. Yeah. You look nice.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Where are you? I'm in our little podcast room at the office. And, you know, I went back to the old stomping grounds. SNL, that's right. Oh, yes. A lot of people did. Yeah. Because Timmy Meadows, who I saw was there and Will Forte.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Yeah, but Seth was on it. He was on. We conducted. No, but this is good. I think we should use this time to have Yorm tell us secondhand other people who were there. Here's the thing, guys. Here's the thing. I didn't check what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:00:57 I know that's going to surprise a lot. lot of our listeners. Like today's episode? Well, I didn't check that. Yes. Okay. I didn't check that because I've been watching AFI's 100 greatest films. That's what I've been doing. Well, Yoram, this is controversial maybe, but my advice would be like, when Seth is leading this, it has clearly something to say, just don't say anything until you know what he's talking about. That's just my advice from one guy to another guy. Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Yeah. The film Giant was okay. It was a little long. Oh, interesting. Oh, the James Dean one. Yeah, James Dean.
Starting point is 00:01:27 I've never bothered to watch that. I need to. Did you guys want to know about that, more about that? Well, maybe after. Maybe after says his thing. I am curious. Okay, okay, okay. It seemed like he was, like, kind of rolling and, you know, in a great mood.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Take it away, Seth. The A.F, the A.F in AFI stands for after, and the I stands for I. By the way, right after that, Yorm just pounded like 20 pills. So many pills. So you're off the hook, buddy. Which is terrifying that that means everything that's happened so far is before the pills. Well, which pills, though? I mean, my man is going through it.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Yorm, Nirvana said it best. All apologies. I want 1,200 Gabba Pettin guys. All right, let's do this. Yeah. That'll get you there. I would be great if just any of these pharmaceuticals that Yorm is choking down
Starting point is 00:02:14 would join the pod as a sponsor. So we could just organically talk about him instead of having to fucking smash pistachios in here. Oh, my God. So... Take it away, Seth. Now, when you say pistachio, you're talking about Charles Barkley's character from grief counselors, right?
Starting point is 00:02:29 I am. Nice call back. Nice call back. Hey, I'm going to get to S&L, but I will say, we can own up to the fact that... Oh, this is great. Yes. Hello.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Another interruption. Hi, Bill. Sorry. From a bilium hater. Hello. Hi, buddy. How are you? Hi.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Oh, this is what it's like. This is us. It's exactly what it's like. And all of us with our shitty hair. Whoa. Shots fire. Whoa. Hey, don't show up like that.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Accurate shots fired. Oh, man, we all should. One guy has really nice hair, it's Seth. He doesn't know about the pact we made early on in this pod not to shit on each other's hair. Oh, yeah. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I was actually just giving Seth compliments
Starting point is 00:03:11 because I thought his look pretty great to that. Yeah, his hair is nice. Mine looks a little scrubby. Bill, you know what our episode is today? You know what we're talking about? I heard it's a gorney weaver. Yeah, that's why I slid it to Bill. That's right.
Starting point is 00:03:24 You slid it over. Laser Cats 5. So, Lasercats 5. Oh, fucking kick ass. I'm going to say, you know, we've watched now five in a row. This is by far my favorite one. Wow. Oh, late reveal.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Multiple things I love in it, but I think one of the main things I love about it is that Sigourney Weaver is having a grand old time. And that neither me or Keith directed it? Oh. Yeah. Is that your favorite? Yeah. John Chrysle directed it.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Yeah. So fuck you, says. It makes sense that it was finally good. Yeah. I mean, I noticed a difference, but it just moves. Do you remember guys that she asked for it in the pit meetings? Oh, my God. Oh, go back to this.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I pitched something else, and then she went, what? No laser cats? And Andy and I looked at each other like, nobody has ever asked for a laser cat. That's right. That's a testament to personality. But yes. The premise of laser cats is people are famously bummed when it comes up. Well, the story is it went, Bill, was I pitched something.
Starting point is 00:04:26 thing super shitty and then she said that and the whole room went oh oh what no laser cats like we were in trouble or something and me and you were like would you like to do a laser cast and she's like well i'm here low yeah that's incredible keep do you remember any of this i don't i didn't i don't remember any of this i don't think i was in the room me i was in l.a i was not here i remember when she said i want to do a laser cats i remember that i had pitched something and she said it to me But Andy, you own this. We got a lot of problems with memory on this pod here. The only thing that matters is one of you pitched something so shitty that she thought a laser cats would be better.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Yeah, but either way, it was a horrible pitch. It might have been you and it might have been me. But she went, what, no laser cats? And then I remember stupidly saying, you were an alien. Yeah, I know. She was like, yeah, no. She's like, I've been thinking about this more than you guys. Oh, that's great.
Starting point is 00:05:27 And then, which is rare for us, we then left pitch meeting and went straight back into our office and started working on it because it was like, okay, we clearly have to do that. Wow. Well, it was one of those things where you remember that feeling, though, like, to know what you're going to do on Monday. The best. It was like, oh, my God, if we just do this, then that's it. It's the best feeling in the world.
Starting point is 00:05:49 You know what we have on Monday. And the hopes likes it. And it works perfect. Yes. And it was like. The question I have, Bill, that I have no. memory of, is how did it come up? Did we ask or did she offer James Cameron also being in it?
Starting point is 00:06:04 Because that's what unlocked the writing because it turned into a James Cameron's greatest hits. She was promoting Avatar and then I think it was, have we had Spielberg on already? No, he was the last year. So to me it was like, we were like, oh, are they in town? My memory of it is you saying, or like inquiring, are they in? is he in town or you got because they were promoting it right and i remember it was him and john landau his producer and when they showed up and he walked in andy you went i've seen the movie five
Starting point is 00:06:36 times and he is an avatar head which was true and he said well we set out to change uh movies and uh we did that's what he said that's he said i was like jesus christ that's so far i mean you can't argue with it he just whipped his dick out and was like yep Boys are true. Literally, like, he basically said only five. Only five? I mean... Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Could not have been more gassed that Cameron came through. I don't want to get ahead of it, but Lasercat 6 is Elton John. Did he also say, what, no, laser cats? I can't remember. No, I think we kind of forced that one on him. Yeah. Oh, wait, he said, what is Lasercats, comma, no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:17 And then later in the week, it was like, we're doing it. Fred's impression that Elton John that week was, are we done? Are we done? Said with a British accent, you get away with anything. You can say anything insulting and it sounds pretty good. I will say when Elton John did it, Andy and I got there early and we were on,
Starting point is 00:07:36 I think what's your stage for Seth? And it was him playing the keyboard and we were like, yeah, you know, it's like you're doing a song about laser cats. And he went, oh, something like, and he just started vamping and singing laser cats. And it was just this thing. It was like seven in the morning and we're like,
Starting point is 00:07:53 This is Elton John with arts. Wait, save these for when you come on for the next one. The opposite of that is when Elton John had to sing the parody songs written for him. That literally made no sense to him. And immediately he got lost on every song, which was like... Were they parodies of Elton John? Yeah. So it was like, I remember when the rock was young was a wrestler name of Dway Johnson.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And like none of that made. Oh, my God. But the craziest was... Good memory. remembering all that. Well, I think I have it printed out once a year to read it. Just the idea that...
Starting point is 00:08:28 Just how to do a pair of it. Benny and the Jets. They rewrote Betty and the Jets to be Bobby Bonilla and the Mets. I remember that. Wow. That's so wicked. And it literally started with Elton John
Starting point is 00:08:39 having to be like, Hey, kids heading down to Shea, John All the Root. I remember this. Seth, did you... Am I wrong in saying that that was... He stopped it at the table read and said,
Starting point is 00:08:52 wait, what the fuck? That was the only time I'd ever seen that at the show where the host stopped and went, wait, what is this? You're like, this is getting picked. We were like, uh-oh, this is being picked.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Someone's having human conversation at the read? This can't happen. It's like, oh, no. Like, nothing stops your heart quicker than hearing that. It was literally songs he wrote and played a billion times. And they wrote the lyrics
Starting point is 00:09:18 scan so badly he got lost every time. He was not into it Better than Tussbach I was gonna say But very too sorry I feel like I That episode Did I
Starting point is 00:09:30 Don't talk about that episode Bill You're gonna come back for it We're not on that episode We're on No no I'm talking about Sigourney Weaver once Oh then do talk about
Starting point is 00:09:38 Yeah do No Was I Conan in the cold open in that Yeah you were Conan in this one It was Conan in the cold open I remember that Yeah Bill you're jumping all over the place
Starting point is 00:09:49 dude It's like you don't even listen our podcast. I've never listened to this podcast. I didn't know you guys had a podcast. You mother phone. It's like you're me, man. Hey, if you were Elton John, would you enjoy singing this to the tune of I'm Still Standing? Michael
Starting point is 00:10:02 Landon, he used to be in Little House. Before that, he was on Bonanza. Where they called him Little Joe. I mean, fucking sense for how much you made fun of us doing references that were 20 years old. He's making fun of them, too. What was the premise? The premise was that he had
Starting point is 00:10:21 written his own album of parody songs. Oh. Hello. I know you know this by now, but I'm Elton John. In my career, I've had 56 top 40 hits, seven consecutive number one, and the best-selling single of all time, whoop, there it is. I've won six Grammys of Tony
Starting point is 00:10:37 and the Academy Word for Best Costum. Oh, and I'm a night. Da-da-da-da-da. All that success doesn't mean I can't take the piss up on myself, which is why I'm releasing, here it is. A brand new album, Weird L. Elton John sings parodies of Elton John. Got it. So this was just at the table. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:51 And then in my heart forever. And he stopped it. It was barely at the table because he stopped it. It wasn't even fully at the table. I think we can move on. But his parody songs are about the Mets and about Little House on a Prairie. And again, yeah, we're not judging. He was in the right to stop it.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Like, we're not judging. Also, this is maybe the first one. Hey, kids, have you been to Shays Stadium? They had a pretty good team in the mid-to-early 90s. They had a wacky and eclectic. Crew, you got John Alarood, John Franco, too. It was in ESPN magazine. This might be good.
Starting point is 00:11:29 This is so relatable. That might be funny. That's funny. Yeah. I mean, a fun sketch would be watching Elton John try to do this sketch. Yeah, I think it's pretty good. Yeah, he was not into it. Should we do a rewatch of Lasercats?
Starting point is 00:11:44 Well, yeah, but are we, I feel like there's steps that we're skipping. Maybe? Yeah, let's not stick. I mean, do you have specific mems, Bill? That's why I asked you. Memories. No, we call the Mems here. Sorry, M-E-M-Z.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Bill's very good with the Mems. I'm trying to be cool, Andy. Stop trying to be what. Stop trying to be what. Hang on, no, me and Bill got to air this out. Bill, you're so aesthetic. Oh, my God. I feel like Bill has really good recall of moments at the show.
Starting point is 00:12:12 You know, except who was pitching when Sigourney said. Well, I remember I pitched it. Well, of course you remember. You like telling the story first person. He looked me in the eye, and I was like, My God, you are beautiful. That was crazy. Wait, I do have a question.
Starting point is 00:12:25 I have a question because, Bill, you and I would say, Edgar Wright, are two friends that know more maybe about film and are bigger, bigger cinnophiles than anyone I know. Was it hard for you, actually, like, to be around a level of security? Like, obviously, there's different levels of different hosts sort of thing. But were you gushing the way that Andy was gushing? I was gushing. I was more kind of freaked out around her than. James Cameron, because James Cameron is like, this is towering figure, but for her it was like alien, aliens, but also like all these other working girl, you can say it. Working girl.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Working girl. Grailas in the mist, living dangerously. All these movies where I was like, wow, she's so good. And what did you think of the movie Giant by with James, James Dean? Do you like it? Oh, yeah, before you showed up, Yorm was shitting on Giant, the movie. Oh, he did. It was a little too long. It was a little too long. long, yeah. Giant's a long movie. It's beautiful, though. Giant, definitely the people, if anyone connected to Giant is still alive, I think they're probably wondering why they're catching so many strays. Yeah, just they Google Earth themselves and they're like, what? Yeah. In the, wait, in the Laser Cats 5 episode? They were shing. Sorry, let us explain. Yoram fell off a ladder. Grandma, listen to this. I guarantee you, Grandma, listen to this podcast. We're not going to be
Starting point is 00:13:47 talking about you. Yorm literally took a handful of pills right as this began as well. I'm fine, guys. I love doing the podcast with you lizard people. No, but yeah, I was really anxious. Yeah, and especially the scene where she, like, throws up on my face. I was like, this is awesome. I genuinely was so excited.
Starting point is 00:14:10 And then shout out to Jeff Vandercrack was the giant cat. Well, so this did usher in an era of laser cats that were just nothing but references, right? So, like, so in terms of the writing process, because neither me or Keeve were there for this. Oh, so they got dumb, is what you're saying? Yeah, they got, they got dumb. They were just, just fucking references.
Starting point is 00:14:30 It was like when it turned into epic movie and, you know, when spoof movies turned into... It's like they were original and they just sort of became bullshit after that. Yeah, right, right. It's like, last of this park. I remember, remember, Lauren said, finally, this is the Pablam that Joe America will enjoy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Lauren was like, now Laser Cat sucks. Lauren went. We just needed to play in Kansas. Yeah. This was the most popular in middle America. This is definitely the laser cat they still talk about there. Did you guys reference Working Girl in this? I guess we just have to watch it.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I can tell you without watching it, no. I like that Yorbs like, there's just no way to know. I remember you swung around in it, Andy. Yeah, right in the beginning, there's a scene where Admiral Spaceship walks in and sees his wife fucking someone else or something. Working Girl is very good. You guys, I'm going to power down for like five minutes. that's okay.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Just power down, yeah, that's make sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Again, I mean, unless you want to mention that you and Keith weren't there again. We weren't there.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Little known fact, Dakota Johnson's mom is in working girl. Whoa. I'll just throw these in when you work. Little known fact. Antonio Banderas's
Starting point is 00:15:34 ex-wife is the lead. Do you remember you, you Malaney and I wrote a sketch Avatar Chamber where you were the dude and your avatars were, your avatar was having sex
Starting point is 00:15:47 and we kept cutting back to you in the little avatar pod, like moving back and forth because you were getting railed. You know, I remember this? Is this Andy or Bill? Bill. This is Bill.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Oh, God, I don't remember that. I was also in it, I think. Yeah, you were the avatar. Oh, this aired. You were the Navi, Andy. Yeah. Oh, and then Bill was, yeah, you were the guy who was... I was in a tank going, like...
Starting point is 00:16:05 Yeah, just getting like... Oh, did it go to dress? It aired. No, it's aired. It aired? It aired? Oh, my God. Yeah, I remember that.
Starting point is 00:16:12 But you had that, you had a little noodle legs. Oh, I do remember that. Seth, I didn't remember the premise. I only remember that I only remembered that I was. that I was so relieved that costumes came up with like spandex body blue suits. Instead of paint? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And I was like, oh, thank God. I wonder how long after Avatar came out that she hosted because it did feel like we put a lot of weight and people already knowing the entire plot of the movie. You know what I mean? Yeah, but it was so popular. Everyone on Earth saw it. Yeah, they saw an opening weekend. Everybody existed.
Starting point is 00:16:45 It wasn't a slow build. Avatar didn't get to a billion on Word of mouth. I didn't have legs. Yeah, they gave it a platform release, as they say in the biz. Just a few. Actually, Seth, it notoriously was a slow, long build. Yeah. Well, you know why?
Starting point is 00:17:00 Because it snowed. Remember there was a, it was like, I do remember this. When Avatar came out, there was all these snowstorms all over the country. And there's all these articles coming out like, well, Avatar underperform because no one can get to movie theaters. That's right. And then never, yeah, it was huge. It came out December 18th, 2009. And this is just January 16th.
Starting point is 00:17:18 So this is a month later. And when McGruber came out, there were like a month-long typhoon, right? It was, yeah. It was monsoon season. I think Forte tried to convince everybody that there was. He's still to this stage. Actually, because we were running the McGruber Twitter feed, I think he just wrote, my documentary shot the bed this week.
Starting point is 00:17:39 My documentary. Oh, well, and then we never tweeted again. Also, the previous eight tweets were all just about how Shrek, the new Shrek movie, sucked. The previous tweets I think were all just about different celebrities that he was jerking it to. So it's just weird that it didn't do well. It was like he would say jerked it
Starting point is 00:17:59 and then in parentheses it would be the name of who and also we couldn't get McGruber like at McGurber because it was already taken so it was just Groob 69 which is just like oh Jesus of course it's not going to do which is what McGruber's handle would have been. So it's better
Starting point is 00:18:15 it's better. It's more accurate. All right, so this Lasercats, at some point, James Cameron gets thrown into the mix. That made us start writing towards his movies, a fucking smart and classic move that changed the shape of Lasercats forever, Landau Raff. And even you're more jealous because they didn't think of it, fucking losers that bailed. And then they paid the price for being like turncoats. And Chrysle came in like a goddamn hero. Yeah. And just was like, yeah, this is easy.
Starting point is 00:18:46 I was just going to bang it out. So he wrote it with you guys, I assume. Yes? Yes. Great. And I'm trying to remember what else. I do remember the shoot being insanely fun and her being so game
Starting point is 00:18:58 and having a blast and us being very excited. So into it and very committed. And she was Ripley. She was playing the iconic art. It was really fun that she's in the canon of Laser Cats as a character. I actually, Bill, do specifically remember
Starting point is 00:19:12 us being like, would she just be Ripley? or is that like sacred ground and asking her and her going, yeah, sure. And us being like, oh, my gosh would I be. You're like, my girlfriend. It would be so funny if she was both what, no laser cats and also,
Starting point is 00:19:31 I'm not going to be fucking Ripley? We didn't know. Try to be more original. Oh, now you want me to just be the Ghostbusters? Take the fuck out of you. Yeah, that's her vibe for sure. I don't want to be terminator. She's great.
Starting point is 00:19:45 the breadth of this episode, which we'll get to. But she did show up. I think we wanted to have a super fun time. We were in this realm where I feel like we had a couple hosts in within this year, like Jeff Bridges and her, who I feel like had like 30 plus years between when they hosted. And you could just tell they like showed up with like, oh man, I did this once. I'm like so much wiser now and I'm so psyched that I get another bite at the apple. And didn't she host the episode, like the season premiere episode with a,
Starting point is 00:20:15 With, like, Phil Hartman and Dana Carvey's first ever. I think so. I think she was Shoemaker's first show, maybe. That's cool. She's not in Avatar. So what was she there for? She is an Avatar. She is the first Avatar?
Starting point is 00:20:28 She's in the new Avatar as a teenage, as a Teenage Navi. Akiva. Is she in it? Just stop. No, she's in the first avatar. Are you kidding? Okay. Keeve, your mems are faulty.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Does she place two roles? Forgive me. You're not thinking it. We're not talking about Avatar, the last air, airbender. We're talking about... Oh. You're thinking of Avatar, the live-action avatar
Starting point is 00:20:48 that M-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-Ki. Yeah, I'm an M-Night guy. Keith has such a bad memory. Fuck, you're right. So she plays two different... Oh, because then... She clumps it. She clumps it.
Starting point is 00:20:59 She clumps it. That's what I was wondering. Did she clump? She does a classic clump. Yeah, she clumsed it. I haven't seen the original so long. You know I've seen the way of water recently because I took Andy to a private screening
Starting point is 00:21:11 because it was out of theaters and I was like, you have to... to see it in the full, like, crazy 4K or the... Who allowed you to do that, Keeve? 48 frames per second. Since you want to talk about it so bad. Well, now I'm proving that I do remember it.
Starting point is 00:21:25 She plays the teenager in that one. But that made me think she wasn't in the first because I haven't seen it in so long, but she is. I'm so glad I get to rip on somebody for a bad memory. Yes, Keith, you step right into it. Your mems are bad. Yeah. Bill, did you see Way of Water?
Starting point is 00:21:39 No, I didn't. What? I just said that you were a cinephile. Like, what happened? But, yeah, I didn't see the way. You're just like, I get it, I get it. When you say cinefiles, do you think, are you just thinking, like, people in French cafe,
Starting point is 00:21:52 like wrapped up in scarves talking about Avatar wave water? Yeah, it was also weird, you know, I didn't want to call it out because you're on so many pills. But being like, Bill, you're such a cinefile. You and Edgar Wright are the biggest cinefiles ever. Were you super geeked out that Sigourney Weaver was there for Avatar and aliens? Yeah, yeah. Andy doesn't like when I'm sincere.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Where were you when you saw Halloween H-2-O, guys? It's not that you were in. sincere, it's that you're just wrong. Like, those aren't cinephile movies. Tokyo Drift. He's just seen them all. They're blockbusters that everyone has seen. It's sort of the opposite. Okay. Well, then I guess
Starting point is 00:22:26 he proved it by saying that he hasn't seen Way of Water. He thought Sinify was French for worked at a blockbuster once. Yeah. Didn't Truffaut do Way of Water though? There we go. There we go. Thank you. Thank you. And he's back. I'm going to power down, guys. Support
Starting point is 00:22:44 the need for multivitamin, probiotics, and more. For less than $3 per day with a subscription, you're getting more than $7 worth of daily nutritional support. And Yoram, you were telling me, like, your whole goal is, like, once you're walking again, you're going to be healthier than ever. So you're using this time to just, like, load up with the multivitamins and probiotics and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:23:01 I'm dunking on AG1 every morning, Seth. Is that like an every morning situation? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It is, actually. And now that means probably more energy, fewer supplements, better digestive sport. Is that all stuff that's been part of your day?
Starting point is 00:23:14 Everything you said is way more descriptive than when I said everything, everything, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Aged one's clinically backed formula is now flavor-packed with new delicious flavors like tropical berry and citrus in addition to original why. Why? Why? Why you ask AG1 over other products? Well, why? Oh, sorry, I thought that was my part. Why? Hey, ding-dong, Akiva just, hey, I just, were you guys talking about AG1? I was just walking by. Thanks for ringing the doorbell before you walked in. Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Oh, God, I love it. I love AG1. To me, it's helping raise the standard with multiple gold standard clinical trials. I'm glad you showed up because you're really the kind of person who can spin a sentence like that that uses standard twice.

Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Meyer's podcast comes from Airbnb. I wish I'd rope Liz into this because it's her parents. When her parents come to town, you know, we have a guest room, but it's quite small for two people to stay in,
Starting point is 00:24:20 and then they're in your kitchen, stuff like that, and they're lovely. But, you know, it's nice to have a little extra space. So she has taken upon herself to find them, their own space on Airbnb nearby. And they love it because they borrow one of our cars or rent a car, and they live over there, and they can watch their TV as loud as they want, and they can do what they want. But then when they come over to us, they're cheery-eyed and bright because they, aren't invading our space and feeling bad about it.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Well, that's what you want from parents to be able to like... Oh, my God, Yorm, you're here. You scared the shit out of me. Oh, yeah. No, sorry, I was here the whole time. That's what you want from parents or parents-in-law, for them to be bright-eyed, bushy-tails, so you can just hand them your kids
Starting point is 00:24:59 and be like, get gone. Well, I love staying and welcoming homes that I book on Airbnb, but it's got me thinking my home could do the same for someone else. You've been to my house. Yorm, what would you pay for my house? A thousand dollars? I'm not good with prices. Sold.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Come over here and give me $1,000, and I'll go somewhere else. I already put love into all the details of my home. Why not help someone feel comfortable and taking care of while they're traveling when I'm away from home? Think about it, Yorm.

Starting point is 00:26:54 And congratulations on Avatar. You know, there were sections of it that reminded me of three amigos. You picked up on that. That's great. Look, I'm going to cut to the chase, okay? I've got my next project all the way to go. I mean, the best part about that joke is that the poster is behind him. I was going to say you guys moved it because the poster's on the other part of the wall.
Starting point is 00:27:13 The other thing is, do you remember this, that James, they had cue cards and James Cameron went, I don't need those. That's right. He's very good in it. James Cameron went, get those out of here. He's like, I don't need him. He was off book. Also, I think the best thing about that joke, Andy, is I watched this this morning, and no one, it doesn't get a single laugh from the audience, and I was very confident it would get a hard laugh from you today on the rewatch. And it did, it's a good joke, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:36 It's a good joke, and it's not really meant to get a laugh, but. it's very nice. Also, we'll say Lauren's got a nice haircut going in this one. He really does. Also, this is like real Canadian power
Starting point is 00:27:44 right here. Yeah. And James Cameron. And James Cameron's got real long hair going. I didn't remember that that was his vibe. Oh, yeah,
Starting point is 00:27:51 flowing man. Can I mention, too, that Lauren did write three amigos. So just shout out to, like, him being a writer and fucking really talented because that's a very funny movie.
Starting point is 00:28:01 You know what, Andy? You don't work there anymore. He's not going to put you in the cast. I'm not going to put you. It's not all Jokes. Not everything is going to be a fucking joke. You know he didn't write it by himself. Fun fact, Randy Newman.
Starting point is 00:28:14 That was my Randy Newman. He wrote it in St. Bart's with his guys. And he told me about it at one point. All right, go. Keep going. Steve and Randy. Here we go. I've got my next project all ready to go. And I think it's going to be perfect for the show. Wow. If you're behind it, I'll put it on the air. Great.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Guys. Hi. Oh, f***. A rare fuck from my. Lauren. That's rare. The future, there was a nuclear war, and because of all the radiation,
Starting point is 00:28:45 cats developed the ability to shoot lasers out of their mouths. Some will use the cats for good, others for evil. Who will win in a world of? One woo! Do you hear that? Terminator font, pretty sweet.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Yeah. Already a good joke using technology. Now, is that like the first ever iPhone? or is that an iPod? What are we looking at them? It looks like an iPod touch to me. Yeah, I think you're right. But that's an actual thing you could do in it.
Starting point is 00:29:15 That's not a fact. Okay, they're drinking beer, digital beer out of iPhones, right? Or iPods. We're not sure. Whoa, Pimo Sabi. Don't you care by the environment? Negativo.
Starting point is 00:29:28 What's nature ever done for me? Pause it real quick. Some Avatar nature versus tech themes. Yeah. Love when you set when you just like, right, in the first minute, layer in the dumb thing that's going to be called back. That's classic.
Starting point is 00:29:42 That's laser cats form. They only have five minutes. I know. It's great. You guys waste no time. There's also a good anti-continuity joke of the waitress being, having passed twice.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Yeah. It was a little background joke. I also like the reason people litter is nature's never done anything for them. Why recycle? Negativo. What's nature ever done for me? Oh, geez.
Starting point is 00:30:05 We're getting a collar on our video glasses from the science. Chief. Admiral Spaceship, Nitro. I'm sending YouTube back in time to the year 3,023. Your mission, destroy the hive for laser cats.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Half, oh, God. I also love that it's changing the history of how Lasercats came to be. It doesn't even care what the thing looks. No, man. Oh, I love this.
Starting point is 00:30:35 So this is a little kind of Terminator. logic happening here? Yeah. Stop blazer cats from ever exist. Fadical! Godspeed, boys.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Oh, that's good. Welcome to the past, boys. I've been expecting you. Chief, you look exactly the same. Follow me if you want to look. Rachel Lynn just standing in the background. With her coffee. Kind of looking for annoyed, but you guys are fucking, you guys,
Starting point is 00:31:05 they just, so for people not watching, they just Terminator back in time so they're butt naked now except for the helmet and Rachel who was our assistant at the time who's...
Starting point is 00:31:16 She's just watching them. Yeah. She's looking at the script for it's short itself. That's great. By the way, she emailed us last week that she has
Starting point is 00:31:28 the maze from booty call. Yeah, with all the booby traps. With heck of booby traps. Yeah. Did you draw that, Andy, yourself? The maze with heckaboooooo. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:31:38 It looked too good. Oh, yeah, it did look really good. You look exactly the same. Follow me if you want to live. So we say he looks exactly the same, but don't explain it. So now you're in aliens. Blaster. So it's a mix of aliens and alien, I guess.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Yeah. Yeah. That's why he looked the same. Oh, immediately pay it off. Okay, can I critique this because we didn't direct it? Why is the alien cat so good? You know what I mean? Where'd you guys get that?
Starting point is 00:32:20 I don't buy it. Don't buy it for a second. Oh, yeah. You're just saying it's not in the do-it-yourself aesthetic. DIY. It's very good, though. It's very cool. I think it's okay because of how dumb it looks
Starting point is 00:32:30 when the little laser cat comes out of the big cat's mouth. Does that look like a cat to you in your mouth? That doesn't look like a... It's also changed from the... other mascot. We had to do it this way to get the next part that you forgot about that's about to happen. Okay, I'm sorry. Well, also, James Cameron directed this one, not them.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Exactly. Oh, that's true. Hey, get away from them, you bitch! Ripley! Believe it or not. A Ripley's Believe it or not, Jeff, is brutal. Brutal. That's the right word for her.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Yeah, it is brutal. I mean, it's so bad And the minute someone said it out loud You knew it had to be in Correct. Yeah It feels like it needs her to turn to camera and wink To make it's perfect. It's perfect the way it's
Starting point is 00:33:21 Yeah, I think it's just disturbing It's for the head It's impossible to hear it Without seeing a person wink It would Believe it or not Good, good flame effect What's that cries old?
Starting point is 00:33:36 It's just such a way It's a completely different... Yeah, no, the mascot. The cat has changed from a profile... You had two life-sized cat costumes. Yeah. Well, because this one's mouth didn't open, so you couldn't do the bed.
Starting point is 00:33:50 One of them had to have the alien come out. Yeah, it's pretty simple. That was just the head. So looking back, it was also a different one in the beginning there. It was just the head for the special shot. Yeah. Also, shout out to the... There's a forced perspective thing.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Like, so that's how you guys made the cat big, which is great. Yeah, Chrysle knew how to do that kind of stuff. I love it. I guess he's... he really was great when you guys directed stuff everything was only ever the size it was
Starting point is 00:34:15 that's right that's right notoriously you guys like making things smaller actually yeah we didn't know how to make anything bigger you like that hobbit thing so that's the second time someone said come with me if you want to live yeah they say it a lot exactly what Fred said yeah we keep saying it
Starting point is 00:34:31 that's the kind of line that has to be in these it reminds me of a long while back Melbourne Brooks and Carl Reiner, right, got interviewed, and they were talking about how every week they watch movies together and that they were like, what kind of movies do you guys watch? And they're like, we like to watch movies where
Starting point is 00:34:47 somebody says, get some rest. Also, they also like movies where someone says, close a perimeter. Yeah, secure the perimeter. Secure the perimeter. They're the perimeter. Hey, get some rest.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Get some rest. We got a big day tomorrow. Really good. We got a big day tomorrow. Get some rest, we leave it done. Yeah. What a bunch of cinnophiles. Oh, you're armed. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Stay alert. We're close. Lager bat! That shot is so dumb. Game changer. So stop. I believe Game Changer is something he said, IRL, about Avatar.
Starting point is 00:35:32 It was like a thing about Avatar. That was where, I think, the phrase, game changer came into the lexicon. Well, I will say this was always a fun part of Laser Cats is deciding what the shittiest fucking part was to be able to cut back to Lauren. Yes, by the way, laser bats not really a reference. Maybe kind of, you could I say, as an Avatar reference, but not really. It was designed to be this moment.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Yes. To be bad. He's gone. We've got to move on. Okay. Okay Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, that was funny I remember that
Starting point is 00:36:09 No, we gotta move on, okay It was like, Chrysle always very good at like surprising editing And like really cut into it That is a great fucking edit My legs And I'll never walk again
Starting point is 00:36:26 ADR In art room Thanks for the save back there Save the love letters kid We'll be lucky to get out of here You're alive. Speaking of which. Yotsie, these are laser king necks.
Starting point is 00:36:41 They're about to hatch. You can see my hand in shot. That's a toilet. Cats coming out of a box is great. Yeah. Yeah, kittens, kittens coming out of little boxes. Yeah, it was the cutest kittens we can do. Yeah, I will say it's hard.
Starting point is 00:37:10 It's hard on how shitty this, all the laser cats looks to, like, give credit to things. But, like, there were, like, 10 fucking great moments in, like, 10 seconds there. Like, they're all shitty to look at, but they're so smart and good. Yeah, because Jake Sully's legs don't work, right? That's why being an avatar is such a, yeah. But also, Andy, like, doing his own, like, cryogen. like cardboard thing coming down over your face is really fine. There's like really great shit.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Now, is there in the original avatar, is there some sort of visual, is a swirling visual when he becomes an avatar that the toilet is mimicking? Yeah, it's like going down through like, you know, neural tubes. Excellent. So we got the toilet flushing. Looks like this was a one-way ticket, Kimisabi. She says Kimisab. Yeah, that's just, we thought that was kind of their thing, but it turns out that's just part
Starting point is 00:38:01 of what people in this world says. Everybody in space says Kimosami. Yeah. Okay, and they're really close. They've really bonded throughout the film. Holding hands. Oh, yeah, that's where. Nitro hit me.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Make the connection. Oh, yeah. This is great. So, the hat. The funny thing is, like, we would do these things, and then there would be, like, no laugh. on set, it would just be Andy doing that and then be like, okay, we'll just go again.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Well, it's the reversing of the film, right? The fucking, Andy comes in with his ponytail, connects with the cat's tail, wearing a baseball cat and blue face paint as an avatar. I have to keep reminding myself, this still is not like a racist thing for 15 years ago Andy's going to get canceled for. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I believe the reason I'm wearing the hat is because the ponytail is connecting. It's all right, just wear the hat then, and also my glasses. I mean, you look like you're playing Frisbee golf someplace. It's all really kind of perfect. Also, he's wearing glasses and there's no face paint under the glasses. On the glass. You look more like a blue man group drummer going out of stage door than you do Navi.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Yeah, well, guys, do you want the cat not to look too good? Do you want the Navi to look accurate? You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. No, I think this is all looking really good This is part of the, you know, the world Again, props to whichever you guys are Chrysle who came up with the idea of twisting it all together And then playing it in reverse
Starting point is 00:39:45 I'm guessing that was Chrysol Make the connection You better believe I was the one who wanted to make the connection He's using the power of nature The teeth all for one shot What did that say? I said like two tiny syllables and it's a very long subtitle joke
Starting point is 00:40:10 Look at the most, you see on YouTube It's the most replayed moment Ripley Nitro, get behind me quickly I'm not joking around, this is serious Okay, there you go And then we got Jason, Bobby Malaney and Joe's Yes, then we go Titanic.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Beautiful tiny Titanic moment here, great Yeah Yeah, all in their nice tuxes They all had to go through wardrobe and get fitted. They look fantastic. Do all that stuff, bring everything in for that. It's the highest production value in the whole thing. They all look impeccable.
Starting point is 00:40:40 We're staying. Good job, boys. You finally rid the world. Wait, go back in the wide shot. It's a double. It's not Sigourney. No, yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Yeah, see. Not her. That's great So you guys had to plan that and do it Because I believe it's because there is a stunt of some sort Upcoming And we got a wide shot with her And then we decided to start on the shot
Starting point is 00:41:09 Yeah just have her look back on forward That was not Sigourney That's amazing Yeah That's great You finally rid the world of laser cats With Fred drinking Choskey in the back
Starting point is 00:41:19 The same father He's dead As Fred who is dead He's dead I was joking. Nitro. Thanks for being my wingman. Shh.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Save the lovers, kid. Damn. I got to say, this movie, combined with Avatar, could make a billion dollars. Get out. No, I'm serious. No, I mean, get out of my office.
Starting point is 00:42:03 What if I offered you some out of tannium? No. It's really hard to get. No. Very good. My favorite joke I wrote. Oh, well, by the way, his fucking, like, read on that. Really hard to get.
Starting point is 00:42:18 He's really good. No, he was really confident. He was so confident. Why? Why do you think he's so confident? Did you give him a pep talk? Did you give him a pep talk right ahead of time? Yeah, we told them how the whole week runs.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Monday, fish, Tuesday, you're right. This is going to feel awkward, but trust us, it's going to go great. You're going to get nervous. Play straight to card. Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I got to say, maybe it's because what we weren't involved, but I might agree with Seth. Is that the best, Laser Cats?
Starting point is 00:42:51 That might be the best one. It is good. And I take back my epic movie comment, because this is disciplined. It's all within one genre. There weren't all of a sudden moments from Forrest Gump or something in here. Not a word you associate with Lasercats, but disciplined.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Yeah. I also barely remember this because I didn't work on it, and I only saw it probably when it aired and then maybe clicked it once or twice after. That was really good. So good job, guys. It was better than I even remembered. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:43:18 We have a voicemail from Chrysville. Shall we all listen? Yeah, let's listen to the Chrysle voice name. Oh, I hope it's as cocky as James Cameron. James Cameron being confident, that's not what you'd think, huh? Yeah, I thought he was going to be like... Are you sure? Can I stand? Oh, I don't know. Should I see it? Like, the Lord Michael?
Starting point is 00:43:36 I don't know. Are you guys okay with me being in here? If I win an Oscar, what do you think I should say? I better keep this movie pretty cheap. I don't know if anyone's going to see it. I better... I want to lose my shirt or anything. They should go all my movies, the Titanic, because they all sink. Oh, just lower the budget a little bit more. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Every moment during the shoot, I always go, oh, James, you bit off more than you can chew again. I'll pay for the marketing. I'll pay for the marketing. Can we play the Chrysler Voice Note? I really love this genre of two friends making a movie, science fiction movie. I made so many of these with my cousins.
Starting point is 00:44:21 And what we always were doing was we had no way. of editing it. So we had to shoot each shot, pause it, shoot the next shot. So the dialogue had to go over it. And there's this shot in here where Sigourney is saying to Bill Heter, like, you got to get over it. He didn't make it. And it just cuts the next shot. His emotion is totally off. And he's just like, okay, that was ripped right from my childhood of just very inconsistent performances because you can't keep track of that. It's just too hard because you're pausing it and starting it. And we taped over one of our movies one time and we were all crying. So this genre, as a fan watching the show before coming on to do Laser Cats 5,
Starting point is 00:45:07 I was like, ah, yes, I appreciate the Laser Cats genre. What else? It's, this thing is so dense and has so many visual effects that it actually was really hard. I remember Sigourney, we've was awesome and her acting watching it now I'm like she's acting so well she's such a good actress and it's really funny to see you guys
Starting point is 00:45:34 obviously acting badly whoa whoa whoa just right there fully in it commits to the bit I remember the kittens was challenging because they wouldn't come out of their boxes they just wanted to go to sleep in their boxes
Starting point is 00:45:52 slash eggs James Cameron, I mean, right at the height of Avatar 1. Maybe send some job over to Chrysler? I just don't, it just seems like a blur. So many Terminator. Yeah, anyway, I got nothing. I got nothing. In his defense, I texted him at like 11 p.m. last night.
Starting point is 00:46:20 I think he recorded and did that. And I only did it because Akiva was like, Lasercats tomorrow, I wasn't there. You get in a voice note? Yeah, I was being a good pod producer. No, it was good. I don't want to do the podcast at all. And he was like, I wasn't there, dude.
Starting point is 00:46:34 You guys are fighting. This is fun. This is what people tune in for. By the way, like, though, like that, that is the joy. That is the joy of Lasercats. Like, is that we all sort of made shit like this when we were kids, like, you know, in camera editing and so-da-da, not to, like, expose our ages or anything like that. But, you know.
Starting point is 00:46:53 No, but he's true. And James Cameron even said this when we brought, Andy, do you remember we brought out the TV and the VHS? And he goes, I remember rigs like this. I didn't. He called it a rig. I was like, uh, and I was like, well, and I was like, oh, yeah, we used to, I mean, this thing's kind of like, you know, when you make videos when you're a kid and you cut between two VCRs, you know, and then I go, did you ever do anything? like that. And he said to me, I bet you do British a lot. What? That's it? That's sweet. Oh, my God. And I went, I do. I do do British a lot.
Starting point is 00:47:33 He can see the talent in people. Yeah, he just went, I bet you do British a lot. Andy, I assume this is one that aired unfinished a little bit and then got fixed up on Monday. Yes. Based on Chrysle saying how hard it was to do the VFX. The thing I remember is the most that we fixed on Monday was after Admiral Spaceship, the connection, the stuff that comes out of the laser cats and shoots the eggs. The electricity stuff. Yeah, the electricity stuff. It looked like, I mean, no one in the audience really cared one way or the other because it's all
Starting point is 00:48:05 supposed to kind of look shitty. But it was not the intention of shittiness that we had going into it. And me and Christel, I remember being like, let's just fix it up for perpetuity. Reruns and the internet. I don't know if you remember this, Andy, but did because obviously when we were at the show, we did not have the infrastructure of, like, additional editors. I assume Chrysle edited this himself, did all of the effects himself, because neither me or you were there. And I will say, in doing the Spielberg one with you, hardest week of my life, by far, by far.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Yeah, it's a ton of work to make it. Even though you're making it look bad, you still have to do an effect for every single one of those shots. And it's the timeline is... He might have outsourced it, because there were editors there, and I remember Chrysle working with them a little more than me and you did. I don't know. Like, I don't know if anybody helped me on. But he's definitely an editor. He definitely edited it.
Starting point is 00:48:52 I will say, from my standpoint, Andy did a ton of work on this. And, I mean, we say we wrote it. I was basically in the room, and Andy was writing it. And I was like, yeah, it's funny. That's good. I mean, that's kind of how I was the whole time at the show. I was like, oh, that's pretty funny. But he...
Starting point is 00:49:09 Is that true? I feel like you guys did. Bill's just working so hard to make sure people know you wrote Ripley's, believe it or not. Well, that's... I think the odds are very high of that, yes. I just want nothing. I don't want anything to do You don't want anything to do with it
Starting point is 00:49:26 Yeah, as a cinephile This is called distancing yourself No, but it really was You did like so much Work on this As mentioned, I was extremely gassed on Avatar At the moment, so all the Avatar stuff I was like, I want to get to do those things
Starting point is 00:49:42 Even if it's the shitty version He did it great I mean, Chrysle did so much work too But on set and everything It really was, you know, you and him So I guess it's a great job It was so much fun.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I have to hop off, guys. I love you. Thank you so much for coming out, Billy. Love you, very much, Bill. Thank you for joining us. Love you guys. Thanks for doing that. Yeah, that was fun.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Bill, do you have 30 seconds? Sure. I'm going to just show you this is something that I really liked from this episode. It's the first 30 seconds of Disco Junction, and it's this move Keenan does where he just has a conversation with somebody off camera,
Starting point is 00:50:18 but you only hear Keenan's lines. All right. I'm Jerry Phil Dachshay. This is Disco Booty Junction. Hmm, I say we got a new disco ball up in here. Well, we can do that. But I can't get a box of Nabisco Nillowafers in my dressing room. Oh, they're in there.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Well, they're not open, are they? They are? Well, you know, there's a mouse in my dressing room. Oh, you're sorry. Was it big? Don't tell me. It was? How big?
Starting point is 00:50:46 Oh, that's nasty. All right. Oh, my God, he's literally the only cast of everything to do that. Was that Tucker? Who wrote that? That's fucking. No, this is James and Kent. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Yeah. Kenan can make, I learned so much from just, like, pulling laughs where there are no laughs. Yeah. And just finding areas that, I know this is a different episode. I'm sorry, but real quick, for I leave. Do you remember the Therapelan episode, Josh Brolin, where we did the fall foliage? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:19 And you remember Keenan's last line? Oh, yes, we've covered actually this. What would remind me of Kenyon's last line? Remind our viewers. So that last line, Andy, you were in that sketch, right? Oh, yeah. You remember that the sketch was dying? Yep.
Starting point is 00:51:35 And I feel like you and I had the exact same thought, which was, this is dying. And Keenan has to say, he allowed me to be raped. And then we looked over at Keenan, and Keenan was also thinking it and looking at us, like, fuck. like, no. He's like, oh, no. Live on air, we're like, I look at you and you're like, dude, I feel so bad for Keenan right now. It was like, we're reading each other's thoughts
Starting point is 00:52:04 so that I just, we both look at Kenan and he's like, all right, here we go. To the firing squad. It's been a good run, fellas. You're just about to leap. Yeah, it was just, yeah, it was like beyond taking one for the team, but just that, moment is an S&L moment I think about all the time, how we were just so in
Starting point is 00:52:23 simpatico with each other just looking at him, feeling bad, and that he just smiled like, all right, here we go. Oh, my God, God bless. That's amazing. I love, I was just like, that was awesome. I will forever love that guy. All right, guys. Love you. All right, Billy.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Nice to see you, Bill. Thanks, Bill. Love you guys. Nice to see you. Later. Thanks, dude. Okay, guys. Support comes from Fabric.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Hey, can't wait to hear what you have to say, Keev. Well, it's actually a question for both of you. you, Yorm, Seth, when did you first get a term life insurance policy? Oh, when I started having kids. That makes sense. Yorm, you actually managed to get one halfway down the fall, right? I did, yes. That's how long you were falling for.
Starting point is 00:53:05 That was a long time. And that makes sense because it's so easy to do with fabric. You could do it in the amount of time it takes to fall from a ladder. Yeah.

Fabric by Gerber Life makes it easy.
Starting point is 00:53:24 And I do just want to jump in and say, based on everything Yorm has told us about the latter, it wasn't totally unexpected. No. No, I had it at a 45-degree angle, which is now I feel like no one's going to pity me because it was a really bad decision on my part. But yes, everything that Keev just said,

Starting point is 00:54:13 That sounds great, but I bet there's no such thing as like free digital wills or tools to invest in your kid's future and more.

Starting point is 00:56:40 Explore the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus at OnePeloton.ca. All right. Yeah. You were on SNL last week. Let's circle back to it. That was perfect. You teased it. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Finally. You know, I do think one of the skills of being a talk show host is don't stay married to your plant. Right. Yeah. But we want to hear about it. I feel like before we hear about it, so Disco Booty Junction, the entirety of it was Keenan trying to figure out which it was a wig and Sigourty Weaver, which one of them was amber and cream. And they wouldn't tell him who was who. But then at the end of the sketch, Keenan does the back half.
Starting point is 00:57:19 It, like, completes the story of the first half. Join us next week on disco. What's that? They're taking us off the air? Why? Because disco's dead. So the show is just done. Well, do I still need to come here next Saturday?
Starting point is 00:57:36 I do. Why? Oh, to help clean up. Well, what's that? In the morning? What's so early? Oh, so they want us out that quick. All right.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Well, in that case, I don't know my little wave was thank you. From all of us at Disco Booty Junction, for the last time, I'm Jerryfield, Dachay. That was a mouse. How did that not get more? That's really funny. I know, it's crazy. It stays in my head. S&L, it is, first of all, I cannot tell you how surreal it is to come back and do S&L,
Starting point is 00:58:12 which is on the physical hallway that I work. all week long, and becomes a completely different place on a Saturday. Like, there's literally no familiarity to a place I come every day when an S&L is happening because the vibe is just so different. Right. It's like I have an office above a nightclub during the week, and then I, like, go to the nightclub. So it was super fun. Obviously, there was, like, so little for me to do in the best possible way, which was just show up
Starting point is 00:58:42 and, like, I think, like, people are just happiest that we were there. It's also, was so weird to, like, do, basically you do dress rehearsal at update. Like, if dress rehearsal starts at 8, it's probably around 9 o'clock at night, you do dress. And then it's over, and you go up and you talk to the update guys, and, you know, Pete and Josh and Scott were all there when I was there. And Megan Callahan was there when we were there? So it's all people I know. Yeah. So, like, for like three minutes, you talk about how it went and what to change.
Starting point is 00:59:08 And then you're like, all right, so when's the next thing? And it's like 12.15 at night? And you have, like, three hours, and that used to be the busiest thing. three hours in my week, just, like, running and putting out fires. But, like, that's not my job anymore. And it was just the weirdest. Polar said once, going back to SNL after your office, it is, like, being a ghost in a house you used to live in. You know, like, you're like, my memories, and people were just, like, walking through you. Yeah, everyone's running around, and they're all super locked in. Yeah. That was, like, that for me doing the
Starting point is 00:59:38 political stuff last season. Yeah, I imagine. Especially if we didn't have a short that week, which we did two of, like, five or six episodes I did. And the, ones where it didn't. If I was just in the cold open, it was the exact same thing. Yeah. Where I'd be like, okay, I did those like seven lines and now I'm just sitting. And it's a lot of, you know, it's weird. It just feels like, like, if you were playing like high school sports and your game was the next match. Like, you know, you're just like waiting and yet there's energy going on and you have no place to. He's waiting worse.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Like, did you find yourself getting more nervous than you normally would because you didn't have somewhere to put? I wasn't even nervous. It just felt like nostalgic for having purpose. Yeah. I went up and I sat in the old writers room and there were like 11 or 12 writers, most of whom were in their first or second year, and that was a super fun hang. Yeah. And then, you know, after the show, like after update, it was so fun to go back in Higgins' office, which is where I would have gone after update back in the day. Yeah. I also ended up back in Higgins' office and it was so fun.
Starting point is 01:00:35 And when the show ended, you know, obviously there's an after party, but from like one to two in the morning, it was me, Higgins, Shoemaker, Kenward, and Jost. Yeah. And it's so funny because I'm like, oh, this is the thing I missed the most. That was always the room. Even on the 50th, like when you guys were in the audience, I headed straight to Higgins. Yeah. Well, there's also good drinks in there, too. Good drinks.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Higgins, just good drinks. Higgins doing crazy bits. I did a long bit about how he used to write stand-up for Fang, Phyllis Dillard's husband. He would write rebuttal jokes for Fang because he felt like he was treated on. Fairley and Philist Diller stand-up. Some of the hardest moments of laughing in my entire life, and this is saying a lot, are watching Higgins go crazy in his office online. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Something magic happens in there. Yeah, different level of funny. You go to the party, Seth? I did. I also brought a pre-made, like these, a Via Corotis, great restaurant in New York. We've all been there. They do these pre-made cocktails. So I brought up a bottle of pre-made negroni from my dressing room, and then he kept saying
Starting point is 01:01:40 he was making people negronies. And then he wanted full credit because he was putting an orange peel in them. I went to the party to answer your question, Keev. It was super fun. Polar's parents, Polar's kids were there, which was great. Forte was there. Maya and PTA were there, and it was lovely to see them. I got to tell PTA, I said, I know this is what you want to hear most.
Starting point is 01:02:02 I saw one battle after another at 10.20 in the morning on a Friday. And it was great to see him. And it was just super fun. And mostly, like, Tid and I were talking about how the entire, of our career, we feel like we only score when we have great jokes. And when we rolled out, people were just so happy to see us. And I was like, oh, this must be what it's like to be a performer with charisma. She's just like, um.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Did you guys write your own jokes or you just slot it in and did what they gave you? We wrote, both Tina and I sent in jokes. I think I, I think I wrote one and Bayes wrote one of mine. Well, so the update guys wrote a ton and sent it to us. Like, we didn't have to. You know, and they had great stuff. So fun. Did you go to the after-after?
Starting point is 01:02:49 No. You didn't. A couple drinks in Higgins' office and then no drinks at the after-after because I was very, I had a lot of appreciation for Alexei and my kids for being super cool about the fact that daddy was going back to his old stomping grounds. That's impressive. You end up at that restaurant. You were at some nice table in the back near Lawrence table or at Lawrence table, and you didn't get yourself a drink.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Yeah. Hard to do. Good for you. I was walking around, oh, Charlie X-C-X was there. And I got to talk to her about the short and how much I loved it. Did she say she misses me in Kiev? She did, yeah. Oh, that's nice.
Starting point is 01:03:21 She did? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like one of the reasons I left the party early was based on how young everybody was. I felt like I looked like the mummy. It is surprising how young. But then you look over and the table has like, well, you know, Lauren and Martin Short or whatever. And I was like, oh, I'm fine. This is fine.
Starting point is 01:03:42 We're still in the middle between that. Yeah, we're still in the middle. in the middle. Definitely in the middle. And I will say one of the great courtesies Lauren provides is being an octogenarian who's still party super hard. He just shows you that that's the future. It's very impressive. Yeah, it's the best. He's always there to the end. Cag stands. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Hold my fucking legs. Oh, fuck. I can't feel my legs. Oh, get me down. I also, I'm just a minute and she was very cool about it. I had no idea Charlie X-A-X was going to be in the show, right? She was in the Rolley song. She was Sally the Rolley song. And I was standing by the page desk And she walked in with somebody And she had her head, like a headscarf and like glasses She looked like Jackie Onassis
Starting point is 01:04:21 And I was like, hey, how are you doing? And she's like, I totally did not know it was her And she's like, yeah, hi, I've been on your show And I'm like, oh fuck I'm like, hey I apologize for it later You're like, I'm so sorry, I thought you were Jackie O It was great
Starting point is 01:04:36 Anyway, I really did I mean again, and I should say Like the best part about being back was like, you know, to be there with Polar and to watch Polar do her thing was just fucking fantastic. Yeah, she was great. It's so fun to watch her do it. Anytime we get to see her on camera being funny,
Starting point is 01:04:51 it's a fucking treat. And then Maya sent a picture because Paul took a picture of the the Ann Golden Eras who were there. And it's really awesome because Paul took a, like, just a, like a bad picture. I love that. I always love that.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Probably best director at the Oscars this year. It doesn't know how to use his iPhone, I guess. I mean, it's, I know it looks blurry on the Zoom, but it's actually that blurry. Oh, that's great. That's really bad. Yeah. That's awesome. All right.
Starting point is 01:05:19 We've got some other stuff to talk about it. I mean, we've gone, this is pretty, pretty meaty. Yeah, this is a beefy app. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm just going to run through some stuff real quick from our listeners. Yorne, people asked, has the hip injury put off your vasectomy or did the vasectomy actually happen before? Great.
Starting point is 01:05:35 That's a great question. It has positive vasectomy. I will definitely. invite, Seth. I basically I'm going to do it around his schedule, so I think that as long as you can pick me up. Thank you, budd. Thank you for keeping me in mind. A lot of people, more than one, said Alex
Starting point is 01:05:50 Bays sounds like Adam Scott. Oh, that's a good call. I can see that. And in case anybody's asking, Bays is definitely giving off any vibes. Giving off what kind of vibes? Any vibes? It's a severance. Yeah. He's a real, he's a real any. Oh, any vibes. Oh, any. I think he said
Starting point is 01:06:06 any vibes, like you were saying that he didn't actually have any vibe at all. Oh, no. Yeah. He wasn't Just Adam Scott. He's Adam Scott. He's an iny, Adam Scott. He's in any, Adam Scott. And he, like, basically, he comes off an elevator and he writes jokes all day. In a cold wheel of his office, I guess. That's what a 30-year-rock will do to you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Jim Downey, a former S&O head writer, thriving both in one battle after another. And also, Tim... He's got so many funny. Those scenes he's in. Best lines in the movie. He's also in Tim Robinson and Zach Cannon's incredible chair company, which is airing now on HBO. So it's a real Downey. Blowing bubbles. It's the moment that happened for Paul Appel
Starting point is 01:06:44 is now happening for Jim Downey. Yes. And he's got a documentary about him coming out. It's a big time to be Jim Downey. Yeah. What's the name of the documentary? I bet it has a great title. I think Downey wrote it?
Starting point is 01:06:54 Yeah. Oh, Downey wrote that. More than one person said that Kreitzel, based on his voice note, understands what this pot is supposed to be better than any of us. Huh. He actually had a lot of, like, a lot of, like, I think today's voice note will put the kibosh on that. Maybe disabused people.
Starting point is 01:07:12 And I also want to say that a voice note was heavily edited last week. It was a 10-minute voice note that got edited down to a crisp four. My favorite thing of Chrysler's voice note, because we had not heard it last week. We reacted to it, but I heard it only in the episode. This is how the sausage is made, guys. Go ahead, Seth. Nice your arm. When Cratesel says that Higgins said to him, your life begins now.
Starting point is 01:07:37 And Chrysle goes, and I was like, oh, all right. Save yourself for me In Booty Call Someone said they really enjoyed your full Muppet energy on Save Yourself for me I'll take it Save yourself for me
Starting point is 01:07:51 I said do all your characters Have dinky wangs And a listener pointed out That you played the French Pole Volter On late night Quite the opposite Yeah The full opposite
Starting point is 01:08:03 Yeah We were talking about Yucaleli songs And that there's only the one You know And somebody said, what about George Firm B's when I'm cleaning windows? No, I got to look that up. You got to look it up, but I'm going to warn you, because I'm worried based on the title, Yoram.
Starting point is 01:08:20 There are, of course, multiple references to ladders in George Firm B's when I'm cleaning. Oh, shit. So maybe don't. All right. I'll wait another five weeks to, like, walk. Hashtag trigger warning for you. Oh, this is my favorite comment of the week. On my run this morning, I saw a dude rocking a quato costume.
Starting point is 01:08:38 I was excited and about to shout Quaid Army, then I realized it was just some dad carrying an infant and a front-facing baby carrier. This podcast has ruined me. Yeah, if that's how you see the world, that's great. Yeah, probably a little bald baby. It's very similar. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:55 Oh, well, there's two things we have to watch real quick. Okay. I wrote down somebody to share a screen because there are two moments in the show that I thought were worthwhile. And I wrote down time code to try to save this. First, it's just, just a real, real special run in, um, ESPN Classic.
Starting point is 01:09:12 First time competing in the States, they call her the wolf bear. Uh-huh. Now, Greg, tell me, how do you think she got that nickname? Oh, somebody who knew her probably called her that at some point. Another person heard it and said, uh, yeah, I like that. And it just got to stuck. Well, now, Greg, and I, I know the process of acquiring a nickname, but I'm, I'm asking about how the wolf bear is specific to her. Oh, I don't know. Well, probably, I don't know. Well, wherever she got it from, it fits.
Starting point is 01:09:43 A quick shout out to our sponsor this evening. Summer's Eve Feminine Hygiene Products. When something's gone wrong, and it's the smell of your thong. Summer's Eve. Doosh. Now, Greg, can you tell the viewers at home a little bit about the equipment they'll be using tonight?
Starting point is 01:10:03 Well, it's just basically a bottle with a thin curved nozzle. I don't know if they're going to be using. You're using it tonight. Is it something you use everything? No, no, no, no. I'm sorry about that. That's my fault.
Starting point is 01:10:13 It's my fault, pal. I wasn't talking about the fine equipment that the good people at Summer's Eve make. I mean, what kind of darts are the ladies using a night? Oh, boy, I wouldn't put darts anywhere near a vagina. No, no, no, no. No, great. Sorry about that.
Starting point is 01:10:26 I was talking about, you know what? Why don't we just go down? I mean, that's a... He's so nice he keeps apologizing. Yeah, it's just, it's apologies. Oh, I'm sorry. I'll let you astray. It is, it is a...
Starting point is 01:10:37 It is pristine. Andy, you came back on, I did not remember, you came back on as Larry the Goose a year after The Miracle on the Hudson. We rocked a second Larry? Yeah. And you came out with a notebook to read the names of the victims,
Starting point is 01:10:55 the geese who had died. Do you have any memory of what this game is about to be? Zero. I also had zero. It will, of course, make perfect sense that you came up with this. I believe with Mike O'Brien, And Simon Rich.
Starting point is 01:11:09 Yeah, that's less poetic. It sounds better in Goose. Now, Seth, if I may, I'd like to read the names of some of the geese who perished that day. You're wearing Chuck Schumer cheaters. These were geese of great dignity. Okay, yeah, we'd like that. Goose Springsteen.
Starting point is 01:11:29 No. Feather Locklear. That's not a name. Ganderson Cooper. Geese Witherspoon President Quackery Taylor President of what? Honk Williams Jr.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Indy Rock duo The Wing Wings Topical. And of course, mother. I'm sorry. Mother goose? Her name was Gale. Is this all a joke to you, Seth? Yeah, I mean a little bit.
Starting point is 01:12:00 A little bit, yeah. Fun game. Sure, sure, sure. We don't hate it. we don't hate it. Also, the last thing I'll say, because Kevin Miller put it in the chat, because we talked so much about the ill-conceived Weird L parody album, the names on it were Jost Kenward and Bernie Taupin. They put his name on it. I guess that's fair on some level. Yeah. Although, you know, it's not really because they like,
Starting point is 01:12:28 the one thing that didn't survive were his lyrics. Right. And the melodies were Elton's, right? So it should have said John, I Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that also probably, like, just another reason for Elton John to be, like, completely confused. It's like the time when I did Meet the Brass's Beetlejuice and Alex Baldwin was the host and we didn't address that he was in Beetlejuice. Are we 100% sure that Bernie wasn't out the show that week and didn't come hang with them in the room? One hondo. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:55 And we're 100% sure that Sigourney was an avatar. Oh, yeah, we are now. We are now. Way in on the coming. Hit us in the Titus. Was Sigourney in that? Let us know if she was or she was. Listen, when me and Andy and a few others, including Joanna, got in the bath together and watched Way of Water together and just soaked in that, it was amazing.
Starting point is 01:13:17 We went to a special theater that is the one that James would go to check the DCPs to make sure it played right. And how'd you get in, Keith? How'd you get in that? We made some calls, and a place that does color correction made some calls for us because I knew it had to be a place that plays at 48 frames per second to make it all look weird. And we were in there. We learned the ways. Wait, okay, so since people want to know how things are made here, according to Chrysle bigups, why was it 48 frames?
Starting point is 01:13:46 What was the advantage of doing that? I mean, in general, 48 frames takes away all movie magic, and I would say it's the opposite of what you'd want when you're shooting a movie. Yeah. Because it makes everything crystal clear, because if you're playing back at 48, there's no motion blur. What's the normal amount of frame rates for a normal? 24 per second. 24, very cool.
Starting point is 01:14:04 And that's part of what makes movie. magic is your eye kind of processes it. Quick, uh, quick, rest in peace for Andy who just died. Well, hold on and keep going to keep you doing it. Well, and so part of his experimenting with Avatar was the new one was at least to make it at 48,
Starting point is 01:14:19 so everything looks clearer than you're ever used to seeing anything ever. And I would say on your home TV, that just makes it look even more like a video game. But if you see it correctly in the correct theater, where it's Dolby Vision, too, so it's crazy bright screen. Dolby Vision. So, uh, with the glasses, the 3D glasses.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Don't look at Andy's face while you're talking. Go ahead. No, I like this stuff. I just have nothing to add. Okay, great. Yeah, and then it looks like nothing you've ever seen before, and that's the thing that makes it worth seeing the movie, because it's like, whoa, this is different.
Starting point is 01:14:49 It's like going on an immersive theme park ride or something where you're like in the world. There's like 20 minutes with no dialogue where they're just underwater swimming around, and it's like a nature documentary. It was one of my favorite parts, but I was super high. Okay, that's fine. He says it's fine to watch high. Great.
Starting point is 01:15:06 I had a, I either could go see one battle after another, which I loved, at 10.20 or 1130 on VistaVision. Is that what it's called? Yeah. And it was the same theater. It was just that situation where I was like, if I do 1130, I'm going to be cutting it close. Yeah. And I just didn't want the stress of that.
Starting point is 01:15:25 And I felt like, you know what, it'll be fine. But the thing I was mad about is I wanted to walk out and then peek my head into this. Was your screening? I did see it in VistaVision. Was your screening in IMAX or anything? No, it was totally normal. The real difference besides that it'll look different is that the aspect ratio is a little different.
Starting point is 01:15:43 That's the part, because I think it'd be fine to see it on an IMAX screen because the IMAX aspect ratio is the same as the VistaVision ratio. Yeah. So at least then you're still, you're seeing a little more of the top and the bottom, and especially with the, no spoilers,
Starting point is 01:15:56 but like the chase at the end and the way those hills are photographed, it's more dynamic seeing it higher and lower on the screen. So, Yoram, of Keeve and Seth, who's a cinephile? Keeve Moore, but he also watches a bunch of crappy movies, too. He throws those in there. I do.
Starting point is 01:16:11 I saw the shape of water. Does that make me? Oh, the fish fuck movie? Fish fucking. Yeah. I mean, it won best picture. Yeah, that's pretty rare. Wait, wait, Keith, if I saw it in 70 mil, one battle, does that mean I saw it in
Starting point is 01:16:24 VistaVision? What is the Vista? No, no. 70 mil, but did you see IMAX 70 mil or just 70 mil? Regular 70 mil. So that aspect ratio is even more smush. So you saw even less of the frame potentially. Yes.
Starting point is 01:16:36 And I sort of wish I didn't because I could sort of tell. Yeah. It sums a little off here. Agreed. We can get a voice note from Paul. And this also, let me do a public service announcement on behalf of at least the VistaVision screening in New York and L.A. And London, which is there will not be any trailers. They can't play trailers because the whole projection booth has been rigged.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Oh, you know what? I'm going to shoot everything in VistaVision 2 from now on. Yeah, but it is hard. People miss the first. Man, I would have loved that because I could not believe what you're dealing with in trailers now. But also, people are coming in late and missing because they've been trained to miss the first 15 minutes to be like, oh, there's no point in showing up. But they can't play anything else because it's such a rig. And we can, you know, leave this in for the, anyone can just leave now if they want. Well, Andy, did you quibby? Wait, no, wait, before we ask him, I have a question. Was shape of water sort of a forefather to sushi glory hole? Oh, because combining just fish and sexual feelings?
Starting point is 01:17:34 Yeah. Well, I mean, there's a bit of, you know... I have a deeper question, which is, was like a boss, the inspiration for Shape of Water. Shape of Water. Because Andy fucks a fish in that. Yeah. Great questions. Great questions for the Sinophiles.
Starting point is 01:17:46 Way in on the comments. I think that is more likely than that we were inspired by Shape of Water for Sushi. But I mean, I feel like would you... What is it, TMC? Like, one of those, like, if they ever did, like, a night of, like, fish sex stuff. Oh, I see. They would all fit. Oh, TCM.
Starting point is 01:18:00 T-CM. would definitely all fit. Mankowitz would give a great intro for that. Go ahead. Before we find out about whether Andy Quibbid, here's our new intro song for that. Spelling be. Spelling bee.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Slow burn of the song. The floor is yours. I'm not done yet. I'm three short. Oh, that's great. That was perfect. This is great. That's the problem with such an earth with a morning pod.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Morning pod, yeah. Also, I had a sense he wasn't done yet because he's been doing it in this whole pot. Yeah, the whole time. Yeah. I mean, there's 66 words today, and it's fucking hard. Yeah. I've gotten the pangram. The moment Andy heard 48 frames, he was like, I'm out.
Starting point is 01:18:45 Yeah. I'm 13 away, which is about right compared to our skill level. I had two days ago, I was clean Seth. Yesterday, I had one hint. What was your hint yesterday? Fucking nicotine. Yeah. Frustrating.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Yesterday, I met, you know, I got continent, I got incontinent. I missed continents. Yeah. And what about incontinence? We really got that. You know, sometimes there's just too many words. Yeah. Are you ready for a 30-second boring VistaVision thing?
Starting point is 01:19:10 And then we say goodbye? Or did you have something else real? Because people could just leave if they don't want to know now. Yorm VistaVision, and this is me paraphrasing the truth. But it was a, it's a dead format from the 50s and 60s, and maybe even earlier, I don't know, of a film. And it even is like, it goes through the camera even horizontally. It's, like, really outdated and different. But it has a specific look.
Starting point is 01:19:34 And that's how they filmed it. Yes. Yes, the movie was... So even if you're watching a DCP, you're watching a scan of VistaVision film, but it looks pretty different. Explain DCP. What is a DCP?
Starting point is 01:19:44 I think we've already done that one at one point. Seth, I bailed. Really? Yep. All right. You bailed on Spelling Bee? Yep. Wow.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Do you do that sometimes? Sometimes. I decided to bail. Historic, guys. Okay. The last movie to be shot on Vistavision was 1916. 61, and it was a movie called One-Eye Jacks. Ooh.
Starting point is 01:20:03 And then the Brutalist had some stuff on VistaVision, then one battle after another. Bugonia, the new one, was shot 95% on VistaVision. North by Northwest was shot on it. Oh, I just watched that. That made the list of AFI's top 100, guys. There you go. And I got to say, that didn't hold up. Oh, damn.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Your drugs are making you a harsh critic. Yeah, I'm throwing. Shade, crazy shade. I'm throwing. Hey, wait, can I say something? Like, Andy, after you see. one battle after another. It is so dense and fucking awesome.
Starting point is 01:20:34 Like, I think we should do an entire episode on it with Paul, if that's possible. I don't know if you ever would do a podcast. He'd probably hates him the way Andy does. I bet you he'd do it. I mean, I bet you he's actually doing press for it. No, no, no, no, no. This is different. This is, this is not press.
Starting point is 01:20:49 No, we're going to be shitting on it, though. This is, what's the opposite of press? Yeah, yeah, yeah. A mess? Like, okay, so when you were shooting the scene, how horny was you? Make it hornier. Seth, have you, because you got dressed in the Roxbury outfit, which was one step closer to a suit and tie, much closer, did you feel like part of me seeing you in that and how casual everything has gotten made me think maybe it's time to go back to the suit? Because also seeing you at the...
Starting point is 01:21:16 I fully agree with what keeps saying. First off, let me just voice my support in the past for how you went casual, because we had never seen somebody be casual in a network thing, like where it's the full set. and everything and the pandemic and it was all the things and it was this nice kind of transition back for all of us to the real world and real life and then there was something about seeing you in a suit on the update desk this week and halfway to a suit with no tie where I went maybe now with all the noise and all the podcasts that look almost like talk shows at this point there's almost no difference and all the things and I was like maybe the suit comes back because it's like this is...
Starting point is 01:22:00 Are you talking about IRL, or are you talking about only on camera? I'm just talking about on Late Night with Seth Myers when he's up there behind his desk. I don't think the standing monologue or anything needs to come, obviously. And those didn't go away at the same time. That was before it. I don't know. I just seeing you in the thing.
Starting point is 01:22:17 It's interesting. I will say, like, it's something I've considered. But, of course, the problem is like every other late night host does a suit. You know what I mean? So it's like going back to the norm of my genre. See, Keith, I thought you were talking about in real life. And I, because I've had to wear sweatpants for the last seven weeks, I don't have to, I guess, but I do. I'm more like, let's put on suits.
Starting point is 01:22:39 Yeah, you have a hankering for it, too. Well, we're all getting to an age where I'm trying to figure out what I'm supposed to dress like. You know, that's a thing for another pot, I guess. Yeah. I think, you know what? Maybe when we have PTA on, we just talk about that exclusive. Oh, that's good. That's good.
Starting point is 01:22:52 Yeah. So then he doesn't feel like it's press. Okay, so the movie. I'll let him know he's bought. What do you think Wes Anderson does it? What do you think? So you made the movie. How should we dress?
Starting point is 01:23:02 You know, if I'm having one battle after another, it's in my closet. It's in the morning. It's an internal battle more of, you know, who am I and what am I trying to represent when I walk out the door? This is a real beefy pod. The quads always say,
Starting point is 01:23:15 leave it shaggy. Leave a shaggy. The quades were outraged that we edited out my story. Oh, yeah, but that was, because that's for privacy reasons, though, not for shag. Yeah, but I will note,
Starting point is 01:23:26 we didn't have to leave in a say. It was good. I listened to it back. I liked it. It was totally fine. Me and Andy went to breakfast this week, which is the first time that's happened in a very, very, very, maybe ever long time. Nice. Where we just went and we went to a restaurant.
Starting point is 01:23:39 Right when we were about to walk in past the, like, you know, into the patio area, a gentleman went by and didn't even make eye contact just gave such a subtle. Yeah. Quaid army just on a pass by, like a drive by, a walk by that I was like, yep. And then I was like, oh, fuck, I got to say. So he was already like 10 steps away by the time I went, Right, just go! And then Andy was like, oh, good, good. Like, whoo, you're almost...
Starting point is 01:24:05 He was the James Dean of Quaid Armying. Yeah, love this guy. He'd probably just listen to that Ice Cube song that was, like, about how you approach someone, you know what I mean? And then was like, I gotta make this real subtle. Oh, yeah, yeah, give him a pound or whatever that is. Shake my hand and make it a firm shake.
Starting point is 01:24:19 Exactly. Say, what up, Ice Cube, and then break. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. I do think, and I want to continue hammering it, like, for us the most, wonderful quade army to receive is like no one breaks stride yeah yes a pass by and i just i got one the other day i was with a lexie and someone a dude walked by and he said it not even like it brought him
Starting point is 01:24:39 joy he said it was like like military you know what i mean like he saw his he saw superior oh fuck that's my shit yeah part of the army sir yeah righteous kill soldier on your way part of the army yeah a little sir it's just like a sir the queen's rock quaint army fucking rock damn the quade's fucking rock, man. You think the little monsters do that for Gagga? No. There is a member of Quaid Army on fucking tilt right now, and it's Jake Tapper who can't believe we keep giving him notes on his fucking drawing.
Starting point is 01:25:08 Did he add? Did he do it again? We were giving him props last time. I thought we gave it up. Dude, when you come back, if you watch the fucking lead with Jake Tapper, every time it comes back to him, he's fucking scribbling, just working on, like.
Starting point is 01:25:18 He's just working on it. He's like, oh, uh. Trying to decube Samberg's face. Here's the thing. As the sincere one, as my character has become, over the course of this thing. I was the one who was really giving it up every single time as the sincere Alvin
Starting point is 01:25:32 of the group. Yeah. Oh, that's a sincere Alvin. I'm more of the nerdy Alvin. Yeah. Oh, now, so you guys are three different Alvin's now? Jesus Christ. Yeah, we're just different aspects.
Starting point is 01:25:42 I mean, at this point, I think I'm just a Simon. Yeah, this guy's just doing his word games. What a Simon fucking dort. Yeah, I mean, according to Bill, I'm the mastermind behind everything, so. What a sincere guy. This is the fattest tail we've ever had on one of us. All right, if we want to get even just a little shagier.
Starting point is 01:26:00 Sir Mix-a-Lot would approve, Seth. I like shaggy tails, I cannot lie. Let's never stop doing this. Hey, uh, Mix-a-Lot. Love the beat. Love everything about it. Is there anything other than Shaggy-Tale? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:26:17 You got any altz, Mix-A-Lot? Look at her tail. And he's like, I don't know. That's what I call BigBankier. And it's like, what about that? Also, I don't know why Jerry Lewis is his producer. Hey, you mix a lot. You got to be y'allp.
Starting point is 01:26:31 Oh, fry and me. Oh, you mix a lot. Nice lady with the shaggy tails. Shaggy tails. What are you going to, how are you going to, do you want to shag the tail a little bit more, Keeve? Well, no, I have a thing, but I can say it next week. It doesn't really matter. No, say it.
Starting point is 01:26:47 No, say it now. I was trying to remember my week during this week. And the movie we were working on that didn't end up happening. We were rewriting, and I would go, the two writers with, it was Jonah Hill had written it, and he'd written with a guy named Matt Spicer, who directed Ingrid Goes West, among other things now. And Max Winkler.
Starting point is 01:27:05 He just actually directed a movie with Eric Andre, who I fucking hate. Yeah, beef. Oh, yeah, the one that trust, yeah. I talked to them about each other before it. Anyways, so I'm in L.A., and every day I would go to Max Winkler's childhood, home because it just had a lot of space
Starting point is 01:27:23 for us to write. So we would write in this beautiful house that Max Winkler, whose father is Henry Winkler. And if you've ever seen Henry Winkler on a talk show or in a Sandler movie and gone, what a great, warm, beautiful, caring man that is. It was so wonderful to be
Starting point is 01:27:41 being treated as he was so happy to have us in the house. And we would get there at 9 a.m. and sit in the dining room table, and he would come in just how you want him to be with, like, fresh bagels, and he'd be making them, like, who wants one with tomato? Who wants to? And I got to live this, like, fantasy of being what Max's life was like as a kid every day.
Starting point is 01:28:02 Because we did for, like, a month. And I just remembered, like, oh, right, that was the month. Just sitting in his living room having Henry and then his mom was lovely and just come in and literally make us breakfast every day and be so happy to have, because he didn't live there. Max didn't live there. The way that a nice parent is so happy to have the kids back in the house, oh, you boys are doing your project.
Starting point is 01:28:21 Let me get you. It was just, it was a lot of fun. Can I ask you a question, Keeve? Yeah. Both me and 80 have been over to your house. I believe, I'm sure Seth has as well. And I don't feel like any of us have been treated like that. No.
Starting point is 01:28:33 Oh, it's interesting. I'm just checking this. You've learned nothing. But I've also been at all your parents' houses and didn't get treated that way either. Because none of us have Henry as a dad. Now we're getting down to brass tacks. I would say of the three of us, though, Kiev treats guests the best. That's definitely true.
Starting point is 01:28:47 I did get like, I remember going to Keeves once and getting like a bespoke cocktail. Yeah. He's making something special, like a little jalapino and a tequila drink sort of thing. Yeah, man. Yeah, that's true. He does say, A more, right? Yeah. He started doing that, which was a little force.
Starting point is 01:29:01 He's like, hey, I opened your locker with a single hit. I'm happy to pile of Henry Winkler's great story on a Henry Winkler's great story. We, on Thursday, do something called $5 Thursday, where we have one of those like bingo things you spin around. And our whole crew, everybody writes their name on a $5 bill and puts it in the spinner. and you spend it around and then once a month it's $20 and Henry was there on a Thursday and he wrote his name on a $20 bill
Starting point is 01:29:27 and he won and so got like whatever $400 and then the next Monday he sent pizza to everybody on the crew just immediately like it wasn't going to like pocket the money I'm surprised he let that fester for a week I like that he let it fester
Starting point is 01:29:42 Yeah a week of people cursing him I'm gonna say I didn't fester at all I think everybody was genuinely so happy like by the way he was like the only guest who was ever like, I'll play, you know. Guys, we're at an hour 41. So that's your way of saying, what's wrong with you, Andy? This is a shaggy tale, Andy.
Starting point is 01:30:00 I would rather hang up and then just keep talking. Oh, without the quads. You want to keep the key? We have to come up with the word the opposite of press. Is it like wrinkles? Yeah, wrinkles is wrinkles. Done. You did it.
Starting point is 01:30:12 Does PTA want to do wrinkles? Yeah. We just talk about suits? Yes, we are. After your press tour, after your press store, do a wrinkles store. Oh, my God, I love it. Yeah, you know, just for fun. Just do some wrinkles.
Starting point is 01:30:27 All right, I love you guys. Love you guys. Love you guys. Later, Arnold. Later, Quades.
