Starting point is 00:00:00 The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast Show Seth... Oh, I'll wait. Hey, don't fall into your fireplace, loser. ... This guy sat up in front of a fireplace. I hope this loser doesn't fall in and burn alive in his own fireplace. That would be so quirky.
Starting point is 00:00:22 It's not supposed to be quirky. Hey, don't tell people I have a fireplace. It makes it easier for them to track me down. It's not functional, I can tell. Look for the chimney. Hey, don't fall into your ornamental fireplace, New York. We were told we could make it functional at a cost that was equal to what we paid for the apartment.
Starting point is 00:00:42 Seth, before we get going, I want to just get this out of the way. Yeah. Hints or clean? I'll tell you when it's clean. Oh, my God. So, just want to get this out of the way. Every day, Andy finishes the B and he texts me that he got it clean.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I've never gotten it once clean in my life. I'm gonna make a big deal about it when it's clean. All right, great. By the way, saying I text you every day and say I got it clean is insane. I do not get it clean every day. 80%? Just the last two for sure. I mean, that's for sure.
Starting point is 00:01:10 But I had a little cold streak last week. Yoram, you know, we texted. Do you have the hat, Andy? I'd like to see it again if you have it on hand. I don't have it on me, but I can show you a photo of it. OK, yeah, please. I thought it was a genuinely cool design. I think nothing says male connection like a Zoom
Starting point is 00:01:26 where one person shows another person a photo of a hat on their phone. LAUGHS Yeah, certainly the kind of friendship we're having. Long distance. There it is. You do the best you can. There it is. There's the bee hat.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Yeah, it's got a bee and it's got a little crown. I'm gonna get one that says solid. Yeah. Sometimes you gotta just hashtag dance like a dad. Hashtag dance like a dash. Um, hey, uh, can we do a quick loop back to an episode before we get to Like a Boss? Seth, pardon my volume, but I'd love to!
Starting point is 00:01:57 Uh, I'd like to talk about the rock episode, Dwayne the Rock Johnson episode. Okay, fine. Because there was something very special that happened, and Yoram, I hope I'm not gonna put you about the rock episode, Dwayne the Rock Johnson episode. Okay, fine. Because there was something very special that happened and Yoram, I hope I'm not going to put you on the spot here, but could you sing real quick? Could you sing us into Seth and Keev's corner? Ooh! Oh, I wonder what this is. Seth and Keev's corner, the two of them paired up, what are they going to talk about? Take it away,
Starting point is 00:02:23 Seth and Keev. I believe, Keev, that you were the one who had the idea for the rock Obama. Oh, no. Well, I'll take it, but I don't think so. I do. I think you came to me and you said, for real, I have this memory. You think it was you, Andy?
Starting point is 00:02:38 I know it was me. Oh, I apologize, Andy. Damn. I apologize. I almost, I know, remember even better, Seth, which was it was my pitch on Monday. Oh. And pitch me.
Starting point is 00:02:49 By the way, I'm looking at the rundown now. I should have done my, it is Sandberg slash Myers, so yeah. And you came to me after and you were like, hey, you're not really gonna write that, right? I was like, no. You're like, good, because I actually think I will. And I'll give you a write, I'll loop you in on it and I'll put you in it or whatever.
Starting point is 00:03:03 And I was like, if you want. Well, you got to, you had a great part in it. It was basically, this was right after the bailout and basically Obama's getting a lot of credit for keeping his cool at the time, because the whole economy was a shit show, not of his making. And he had to get everything back and people were saying, he should be a little bit harder and more temperamental with Republicans who are sort of holding up this bailout plan. And so the rock Obama, which was obviously Andy just making words sound the same, was Fred as Obama, and then Andy as Rahm Emanuel, and just keep telling him like, that's it, get angry, get angry.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And then we did just sort of an old school 80s TV, Bruce Banner shot of Fred's face getting angry. Then I remember we filmed Dwayne Johnson flexing his muscle and ripping a shirt. Yeah. Which he did with no problem. Yeah, he had no problem doing it. Then it came up on him and the title was The Rock Obama, and everybody was super psyched.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Then he did half Hulk, he did like a very, he did like half Hulk, half Obama impression. And he kept chucking people out the window. The Rock Obama, much like Barack Obama, only stronger and more impulsive. Now, where were we? You little man in suit? Yes, I guess what I was just saying was there are some special projects in this bill that
Starting point is 00:04:37 don't smell right to me. Hmm, is interesting point, but, uh, me no like. Oh! Ah! Ah! Yeah, I remember it playing great. It was super fun. It was everything people wanted from the moment. Yes. This was not Seth and Keith.
Starting point is 00:04:57 The actual segment was Andy and Myers. Take it away, guys. There you go. Good work cleaning that up, Yoram. Yoram has a real integrity to his corner songs that he doesn't want to... They're always gonna be true. Another thing I remember is the imitable Phil Himes,
Starting point is 00:05:15 who was the lighting director at SNL from the first episode. May he rest in peace. Inimitable or imitable? Inimitable? Does that mean that there were no... I think you want inimitable. Imitable would mean he's easily imitated. Well, do your imitation of Phil Himes. It's not gonna work.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Oh, so he is imitable, because that's pretty good. Phil Himes, I'm worried that I've told this story, but I was watching it back and I think this was the sketch. He was super mad at me. He lit Kennedy in the White House the first time they shot in the White House. He was the LD. Wow. Like in the 60s. first time they shot in the White House. He was the LD. Wow. Like in the 60s.
Starting point is 00:05:47 That's how long he was doing this. And I basically, for comedy, put a window where there wasn't a window in the Oval Office because Barack Obama had to throw people out the window. Oh, yes, yes. And he like came out of the floor. He's like, there's no fucking window there. And I'm like, film. You're like, buddy.
Starting point is 00:06:01 I'm like, nobody cares. He's like, I care. How long you been on the job? It's SNL. He's like, nobody. He goes, yeah, I'm not gonna. And by the way, the reason I know he lit Kennedy is I believe he stood in front of everybody and go, I lit John fucking Kennedy. That was how you first suspect.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Yeah, he announced it to everyone. By the way, that many years in to care that much is kudos. Oh, the best. Yes, but also like,'s SNL every 10th sketch has a window to get someone get thrown through, right? How else are you gonna end the sketch? It's Chekhov's window. If there's a window, someone must go out of it.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Wait, Andy, the other great Phil Himes story, and I'm gonna ask you to, well, I'm gonna tell it, but then I would love you to say the dialogue. Oh, okay. Billy Bob Thornton was hosting, and he was running his monologue wearing his baseball hat. Yeah. And Phil Himes came out on the floor
Starting point is 00:06:53 and said to someone else, somebody tell him to take his hat off. Right. And then Billy Bob Thornton basically was like, hey, old man. Hey, old man. If you got something to say. If you got something to say.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Say it to my face. Say it to my fucking face. I added something. I don't know if you noticed. Yeah, you did add something. Now, I also want to clarify, Billy Bob Thornton did not do this in front of everybody. He walked off stage and he went and he talked to Phil Himes about it. Very man to man.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Yeah, class act. And Phil, who I never saw do this, Phil had a real like, I apologize. Nice. Like there was a real like, two decent men of honor. Oh, yeah, just two guys meeting at high noon, deciding not to fight. We like that. That's great. Something else I would like to mention very quickly, just so we can play a clip, there
Starting point is 00:07:39 was a really funny sketch. There's two sketches I want to talk about from Dwayne, The Rock Johnson Show. One was called Hawaiian Hotel, and I hadn't watched it for a long time. It was basically Fred and Dwayne as people at a Hawaiian Hotel who were playing a Hawaiian song and just sort of dancing over to different tables and then being super mean to the tourists. Then there would be an awkward pause and then they would sing
Starting point is 00:08:03 this super light, frothy Hawaiian song. And also, Fred's voice was like a crazy register. Yeah, gotta challenge himself. But also, Dwayne is a really funny dancer. Like you could tell he had danced like that before. Oh yeah. Ceremonially.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So it's a great big laugh every time they dance on it. Well, Hawaii's a beautiful place to live. Should have seen it before it was covered in hotels. Yeah, that's a fun fact about Hawaii. Our biggest export is coffee and our biggest import is fat white tourists. ["Hana Hanna"] ["Hana Hanna"]
Starting point is 00:08:43 But then there's a sketch that I might claim is peak Jost. And that sketch is To the Lighthouse. Do you remember To the Lighthouse? No. To the Lighthouse, you're in it Andy. Fuck. Is. So glad you can't remember these things.
Starting point is 00:08:57 It's just the live stuff. I was out of body I guess for all the live stuff. Okay. The Rock brings Kristen back to his lighthouse. So it starts with them, interior top of a lighthouse, and they walk in and Dwayne's like, so this is my place, and Kristen goes, wow, you live in a lighthouse.
Starting point is 00:09:15 That is so romantic. Kristen, I'll be the judge of that. They move in to kiss. Dwayne says, and again, this is like six lines into it. They just credit to Joss for how quickly the game is established. Hold on, let me just set the mood. Reaches over, flips a light switch, the spotlight at the lighthouse dies, and then you immediately hear a horrible shipwreck.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Oh, for our presiding, we've been scowled! The rocks came out of nowhere! Why didn't anyone warn us? You know what? The rocks came out of nowhere! Why didn't anyone warn us? You know what? I'm just going to turn this light back on. Now, where were we? Please, if anyone can hear us, send help!
Starting point is 00:09:58 Captain, the beacon, it shines! But where was it before? Oh, what evil trick is this? Now that's a really fun game, but then there's another game which is Dwayne the Rock Johnson's character is filthy in this sketch. Kristen said, do you hear that? It sounds like screaming. I hear my heart screaming that it wants you. And then Dwayne says, let me throw in a little music.
Starting point is 00:10:20 He says, do you like salsa? Kristen, I like eating it. Dwayne, then I hope your ears are hungry. And then he claps to do a salsa dance, and then the lighthouse light is hooked up to the clapper. Goes out again, immediately a second shipwreck. And now Bill and Bobby are on the rocks with you as a second captain and first mate.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I guess this lighthouse is hooked up to the clapper. I ship the torn asunder! Did someone just yell rocks? Satan on the word forsaken us! Our vessel is ruined! But what of the lighthouse? Is no one mad yet? Hey! The devil himself! Maybe I should just keep this on. I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you!
Starting point is 00:11:07 I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you!
Starting point is 00:11:15 I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you!
Starting point is 00:11:23 I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not mad at you! I'm not then Kristen says, I'm gonna go down there. And Dwayne said, that's what I like to hear. Oh wait, you mean go check on the people? He's a dirt dog. Dirt dog. And then Dwayne says, do you like margaritas? Kristen says, no, I adore them.
Starting point is 00:11:38 One margarita coming up. He turns on the blender, the lights go out again. Blows a fuse. And then it cuts to Sudeikis as a jet ski guy on the rocks. Now here, again, I've left out the one other great note. And do you still not remember this part of it, Andy? Honestly, I don't remember it at all. How embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Jost gave a note between Dress and Air to the crew to literally just soak you guys with buckets of water. Ah, that sounds familiar. So in between each line, they're throwing a full bucket of water on you guys, and it's so fucking funny, and the audience is delighted because they can just tell it's more water than you were expecting. Yeah, we definitely didn't want that much. Good for Jost.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Way to be in control of this guy. So a third layer. What the hell? Okay, now what was that? Hey, how am I supposed to take a midnight jet ski if there's no lighthouse? Steal yourself in. There's a sea beast of hot ice. Run it through. Help! And then the next time we cut back, Jason is dead.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Jason is dead. Steal yourself, men! There's a sea beast about us! Run it through! Help! Help! And then the next time we cut back, Jason is dead
Starting point is 00:12:49 and has, like, four pieces of wood sticking out of his back. So they killed him. Oh, we thought he was a sea beast. Yeah, because you're old-timey sea captains, and he's a modern guy. There's time travel happening. Because he's a jet ski guy. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:13:02 But anyway, to the lighthouse, check it out, everybody. And you gotta remember, this is before the movie, The ski guy. Gotcha. But anyway, to the lighthouse, check it out, everybody. And you got to remember, this is before the movie, The Lighthouse. Yes. Yeah, like way before. Way before. Changes everything.
Starting point is 00:13:13 This is the final sketch of the night. Makes sense. Last sketch, I think you wouldn't want to soak the floor the way they did if there were more sketches to go. Yeah, you're just asking somebody to skit out on their way to the next thing, otherwise. Also, that BJ line probably wouldn't have played good at the top of the show. Yeah, I think that's probably true as well. Anyway, one of my favorite Joe sketches.
Starting point is 00:13:32 And now we're to the Seth Rogen episode. And I kind of want to just turn it over to you guys. And like a boss, where did the inspiration for this one come from? So this is from the record, not that that's the inspiration, but it's a, you know, back in Encino again, right? Yep. The album's out. It would be funny if that was the inspiration, but it's a, you know, back in Encino again, right? The album's out. Yep. It would be funny if that was the inspiration, if you thought that was the answer to the question, like, what was on the album? So we just were inspired to do it. So we were inspired to make the video for it.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Okay, well, go back one step. It was super inspiring. Yeah, got any more brain busters, Seth? I was listening, I woke up that morning, was like, I want to listen to some good music. So I turned on our album that had just come out. And I was like, whoa, up that morning, was like, I wanna listen to some good music. So I turned on our album that had just come out. And I was like, whoa, I'm inspired by this one song to make a video. That's where it came.
Starting point is 00:14:11 It's the guy who's bad at answering interview questions. Wait, just a tangent for a second. Keev, speaking of, I wanna listen to some good music. Will you explain your Alexa little foray into talking to Alexa about our music? Oh, yeah. I'm honestly trying to remember, we have a video on our YouTube of it, but what was the phrase exactly?
Starting point is 00:14:30 It was hot trash, I think. Hot garbage. Hot garbage, yeah. Yeah, like Chicago. Alexa, please play Hot Garbage. But that was just real, right? Our record, it was we were doing Bash Brothers and then they said, hey, Alexa, we'll do a crossover thing and help promote the record. I think it was also for our tour.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yes. We were in rehearsals for the tour, and we recorded it at that studio. Exactly. And it was like, you can make Alexa have a special keyword, and it'll play Lonely Island songs. And they showed us other artists that were like, hey, Alexa, play, like, it was like a little Wayne saying,
Starting point is 00:14:59 like, play some dope shit or something. And then they would play a little Wayne. And so we made it play some hot garbage. Play some hot garbage. Now playing songs by the Lil Wayne. And it really works. Yeah, I don't know if it still works. I don't know if it still works.
Starting point is 00:15:14 I think the videos on our Instagram or YouTube of us doing it, but it will work for anyone. I don't know if it still works. Please, somebody out there, try it out. And if it doesn't, we gotta re-up it, because that was great. It's a pretty great promo. You know, when you do a special thing like that, and then it doesn't exist anymore, it can hurt.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Like, just off the top of my head, I created a signature hamburger for Umami Burger. Yeah. Called the Sandburger. The Sandburger, of course. Very delicious. What else would it be? Pretty sure 90% why they asked me is my name.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Yeah, yeah. And Keev, you were there when we tried them all? Oh, yeah. Yeah. We had to go to their main test kitchen in downtown LA and try lots of different bespoke burgers to Andy's taste. So fun. A bunch of them were based on ideas I had pitched. One of them was the one that ended up being,
Starting point is 00:15:58 which was like a Chicago dog themed hamburger, which I love Chicago dogs because Akiva put me up on them. I never really liked them and then he showed me them and now I love them so much. But that was the one we ended up doing and it was very delicious and I often crave it and wish I could have it, but it just went away after like a month. So this is a shout out to Umami. Put that Sandburger back on the menu. Is that technically a shout out though or is it more like a plea? It's a plea. It's a beg. It's like a digital beg.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Or if there's any other burger spots out there that wanna try and recreate it. This was years before Wall Burger's, I just wanna say. Oh yeah. Yeah, exactly, and before the lighthouse. Do you think that's how Wall Burger got his revenge about your impression? He killed the Sand Burger.
Starting point is 00:16:38 He killed the Sand Burger. If that was how it worked, cause that shit made hell of money. He can't wait for the day to see you and say, say bye to your burger for me. Oh, my God. He's been that loaded for 10 years. He's had that loaded.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Yeah, but like a boss. Well, there was a, there was, we're in 2009, and from 2005 to 2009, there was many songs about being a boss. Yeah. Out there. Yeah. We about being a boss out there. Yeah. We listened to a lot of those. The one we listened to the most was when we were shooting Hot Rod, we listened to Rick
Starting point is 00:17:11 Ross's first album, I think his first album, Port of Miami. Is that what it is? I don't know if it's his first, but it was the first to us. Yeah. It was the first one we really got up and we would play that album almost every morning. We shared a trailer on Hot Rod. It was a big old nice trailer, but we shared it. We would blast that and there's a song on that album called Boss.
Starting point is 00:17:31 There was Just Another Day in the Life of the Goddamn Boss. What is that? T-Pain and? It's a Rick Ross. And Rick Ross. That was one of the big T-Pain ones that even fit into the boat territory, honestly. Yeah. Yoram, can you sing it real quick? No. But the Young Jeezy, I feel like there was a...
Starting point is 00:17:51 The Young Jeezy? No. Well, there's the Meek Mill Rick Ross song, also called... I'm a Boss. I'm a Boss. And then, of course, Slim Thug, Like a Boss, which is that and the Rick Ross one, I think, musically influenced it the most. But, like, it was a boss moment, Seth. Yeah, there was a boss moment. It was a moment where a lot of people were saying, I'm the boss, I am like a boss. It's a little bit like Santana Champ, right?
Starting point is 00:18:14 Yes, although this is a direct parody. Slim Thug said the phrase, like a boss, a bunch, unlike a boss. So there is that. But it was in the culture for years and years. And every time in every version, there would be some sort of lame joke made. I'm not going to say which of the three of us made it, but where you would take boss literally and be like, so can you file that report for me or whatever? Was there that? I feel like immediately every time boss would come up, we would be like, there's something funny about that word.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Like, oh, my boss is writing me, but then how it was being used. Okay. Well, you came up with the song, Andy. You tell me why you did it. I don't know. I don't remember us joking about it beforehand, but I know that that was what happened. It was slightly embarrassing because it's so basic.
Starting point is 00:19:03 It's one of the days I was in this dude, and I started just writing it. And I was like, what if the boss was like a boss in an office? Isn't that funny? I mean, I remember coming out and Keith being there and being like, hey, come help me write this. And he came in. I had already written like the first eight lines of it or something.
Starting point is 00:19:21 And I was like, and then it just keeps going. And then we wrote it very, very quickly and didn't think much of it or something. And I was like, and then it just keeps going. And then we wrote it very, very quickly and didn't think much of it. I thought it was going to be kind of like, I mean, the whole song is like a minute 40 something, minute 50. We thought it was going to be sort of like a filler track. Yeah, like almost an interlude
Starting point is 00:19:37 because the premise is so first thought. Yeah. But it shows how execution is everything. I was definitely in the room for this one because I was engineering this one. Oh, there you go. Support comes from Factor. Yoram, guess what season is here.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Don't look at the calendar. Oh, god. Oh, it's almost summer. It's the tail end of spring into summer. So I don't know why. Summer's here. More sun, more light, more time to do all the things that make summer so special.

Dietitian approved meals are ready just in two minutes, taking the hassle out of eating well. And Yoram, I know you, bro. You want to be at the beach.

The truffle butter filet mignon. Well, I know it. Well, okay. Yeah, you know what? I was going to say the jalapeno sweet corn polenta and chicken, but I enjoyed the truffle butter filet mignon.

Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb. Jorm, you travel a lot. You like staying in houses. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Well, when I was hanging out with Tommy Hanks in Pittsburgh, I actually stayed in the Airbnb up on a hill. I can't remember the name of the hill, but it was overlooking the city. It was a perimo and it was a very good location. You know what they say about a real estate cave. They say location, location, location. And this had the location. It was very easy to get to everything and yeah, it was clean and I loved staying there.
Starting point is 00:22:42 You know, Seth's story about where he stayed was also a Pittsburgh story. And then we also have been talking a lot about Pittsburgh. It just feels like we're kind of Pittsburgh guys. Yeah, go to Pittsburgh, stay near Gooskies. They have an Airbnb right near there. I went to Pittsburgh once and I stayed in a hotel. And honestly, I would have preferred an Airbnb because when you have an Airbnb, you have a kitchen.
Starting point is 00:23:02 And especially if you got kids, that's really key. And you might even have a washer dryer, and that's pretty key. And it's nice to not just be sharing walls with strangers and to be in your own space. Yeah. But let me flip it on you, Yoram. Let me flip this on you. Ooh, okay. Getting real now.
Starting point is 00:23:18 We've been talking about when you are traveling and you're in someone else's house, but what about your house? First, you create a welcoming space for others. You get the joy of sharing a home with travelers and you get extra income that can allow you to travel more or other life goals. I don't think they're gonna micromanage how you spend your money after you get it.
Starting point is 00:23:35 You use it how you see fit. Yeah, whatever hobbies you get. Yeah, but Airbnb is great as both traveler or as a host. You have no idea what your house is worth right now. You might be sitting on a little gold mine. Might be able to pay off that mortgage and get yourself a little ice cream on the side. You know what I mean? Yeah. Your home could be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com slash host. I just ended your ad for you.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Thank you. Do you guys want to keep going and then we'll stop start and go through it? Because I feel like this one deserves that treatment. Sure. Here it is, Like a Boss featuring Seth Rogen. Let me just say Seth Rogen in the Parnell role from Natalie Rept. Correct. But on the album, it's me. Yeah, on the album was Akiva. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:24:19 So the album is done and it's out for two months now. So this was an interesting thing too, where I was like happy to hand it over to Seth Rogen, but no one made us do it. But we knew we're making it or it's for SNL and it should have the host. And I don't know, I'm clear headed enough to be like, if I was an audience member, what would be more exciting, me introducing it or Seth Rogen, the movie star who's very hot on all these comedy movies right now. I think probably the host. But at dress, I remember that when it started, like four different people were like, that's
Starting point is 00:24:51 supposed to be fucking Keith. Yeah, yeah. And it warmed my heart. Yeah. No, no, it's cool. It was even my idea to take myself out, guys. Well, at Air, I was going to say at Air, you came out and you gave a speech and you were like, guys, I chose this. Yeah. I'm also a producer on it and I can see the big picture. I don't want you to compliment me too much about this,
Starting point is 00:25:13 about being so big a man. I'm happy to step aside. I will also say, Keev, it's easier to hand something over if it's not your actual verse, right? Yes. Just like the skit part and we're making a skit show. We've done it a couple of times. We did it with Glurk, we did it with Dear Sister, we did it with.
Starting point is 00:25:31 So I'm not mad about it. No, no, no, no, no. You're not still mad. But it's a nice little thing for people that when they hear it on the album, they're like, oh, it's my main man, Keith. Yeah, or for the people that were confused about this. One other thing though, I'll say before you dive into the step by step of it, just to continue on the thought of that we didn't think much of it, we weren't ever thinking
Starting point is 00:25:51 this was going to be a video one. And then our label told us that I believe the quote was like, the kids around the office really like that one. Do you remember that? You guys? Wow. We're like, oh yeah, like some of the guys like at their cubicles or whatever in their offices like that have the record and are helping put it together and promo and all
Starting point is 00:26:10 that have been pointing out that they like this song. And that sort of turned us around on it. I love it. So this is we do credit to the kids who are now a full, I want you to, before you give them too much credit, know that every one of them now is likely married with children. The kids love them. Kids love them. Kids love them. They were old enough to work for a record label.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Do you know the other time that we heard somebody say something similar like that, a record label executive to an equally famous artist? Yeah, when we were recording with Rihanna. Yeah, and it was LA Reid. LA Reid came in, he was like, I got to say, I'm hearing that the kids really like Rude Boy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:46 But it was not a single yet. Nope. He came and sat on our ratty couch in our office because we were recording Rihanna. And then if like a month later or something or two months later, it came out as a single. And we were like, whoa, we were there and heard that convo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:59 And sure enough. Just part of history, you know? Good song. All right, here we go. So that's Seth. That's Seth, he's walking, you know? Good song. Alright, here we go. So that's Seth. That's Seth, he's walking, he's got a mustache. Mr. Sandberg, thanks for coming to your performance review. No problem.
Starting point is 00:27:12 So you're in charge around here, is that fair to say? Absolutely. I'm the boss. Okay, so take us through a day in the life of the boss. Well, the first thing I do is... Dr. Corbett! Approve memos! Lead a workshop. Remember birthdays.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Paul Lappell. Paul Lappell. Yeah, this one has some writers in it. We had a little Paul Lappell who's now a well-known actor in her own right. Let me just jump in and say, so I'm watching it for the first time and I'm thinking, okay, the comedy is going to be super aggressive about boss stuff. Yeah. Now, shame on me for thinking that there aren't going to be some twists and turns in the hands
Starting point is 00:27:47 of the Lonely Island. I mean, he did say it's a day in the life of it. And days are long, you know? Lots can happen in a day. Yeah, it's a day in life. And right now I would say like, you know what? None of the things he's doing seem cool to me, but he's enthusiastic about it. And you know, who am I to judge his happiness about the kind of boss he is?
Starting point is 00:28:03 Yeah, normal boss stuff. Jorm, you almost sang the T-Pain lyric that Andy asked you to sing. Yeah. -♪ Just another day in the life of the goddamn balls. That's right. -♪ Goddamn balls. Can you slide that so me and Keever are exactly synced? Perfect. And auto-tune this, please.
Starting point is 00:28:18 And also auto-tune this, and then also replace us with T-Pain. Wait, when are we gonna sing, when are we gonna hear the new theme song? Oh, the one you asked for, the Alvin and the Chipmunks? Is it gonna be in this episode? I think it should be, because I still haven't heard it, so I wanna hear it live. Yeah. Spoiler!
Starting point is 00:28:31 Wanna just take a little break for it? Yeah, let's take a little break. Take a break. Greg Chun, once again, has risen to the occasion, and we have a new theme song in the style of Alvin and the Chipmunks that Yoram's gonna hear for the first time. Yeah, I haven't heard it. I bet it's flattering. -♪ There's these funny guys you know, got themselves a podcast show. -♪ -♪ Lots of laughs behind the scenes and lessons about what friendship means. -♪
Starting point is 00:29:00 -♪ Voice notes from cool folks aboutound. Disgusting Andy eating sounds. Join us almost once a week. It's the happiest place you can be. It's the Lonely Island Seth Meyers Podcast Show. Andy! Wait, oh, Andy's Alvin? Oh, fuck. Seth yelled it last show. You were there. Only in his mind.
Starting point is 00:29:27 But it's because you ate it. That was a big bite of an apple, and then you yelled Andy. Andy's Alvin? That's just Greg's interpretation of it, Yoram. I was doing a theater. Voice notes from cool folks abound. Disgusting Andy eating sounds. So it's all pulled right from the headlines of last week's episode.
Starting point is 00:29:35 I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that
Starting point is 00:29:43 I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm going I was doing a theater. Voice notes from cool folks abound. Disgusting Andy eating sounds. So it's all pulled right from the headlines of last week's episode. Really nice. It's really nicely done. He's got his finger on the pulse of the cast. And since we've totally, you know, broken up the momentum of Like a Boss,
Starting point is 00:29:58 Andy, you want to give a shout out to Jack Quaid making his breakfast? Jack Quaid, what's up, my man? You making your brekkie? Little brekkie? Little brekkie brek? Or is it dinnertime mac and cheese? In my mind, all Jack Quaid eats is mac and cheese.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I think he's got roommates. It's a little bit sloppy there. He's like living like a 22 year old. Isn't he like an adult man? It's a lot of adult PlayStation 5. It's like starred in many movies and shows. He's got a bunch of, he's an adult man, but he shares an apartment with four 22-year-olds and always like... He's 33, but yeah, he's hanging out with a bunch of 22-year-olds
Starting point is 00:30:29 and a frat out there. It's like a sitcom situation for him. And then he's like, Quaid! Quaid, he's shouting you out again. I made some split hot dogs on the... I just held him over the stovetop in no pan. He's always walking around to his roommates going, You gonna eat that?
Starting point is 00:30:44 Somebody did write a comment, I just held him over the stovetop in no pants. He's always walking around to his roommates going, -"You gonna eat that?" Somebody did write a comment, I love that this podcast has turned into some kind of psychological experiment solely targeting Jack Quaid. ALL LAUGH Jack, I hope that it's enjoyable. All right, back to the song.
Starting point is 00:30:58 So again, if you remember, as we return to the song, things are pretty normal. Andy's just a guy who's happy about being a boss. Right now, we're just like, hey, The Office is a hot show, we're to the song, things are pretty normal. Andy's just a guy who's happy about being a boss. Yeah, right now we're just like, hey, the office is a hot show. We're in that world. It's office culture. Yeah. And how many seconds in are we? We were about 26 seconds in. I'm gonna go back like three seconds
Starting point is 00:31:14 to get a little roll in. Here we go. There's Paula again. -♪ Remember birthdays, direct workflow, my own bathroom. Micromanage, promote synergy. Micromanage, um, Mulaney there. Yep, little baby Mulanes. Promote synergy. Micro-manage, um, Mulaney there. Yep, little baby Mulanes. Promote synergy. A young Mulaney.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Look at it, how s- felt he looks. Mulaney looks nine. Yeah. Yeah. He looks crazy young. He looks like Simon Rich. He looks like, uh, Quaid's roommates. What's up? Oh, that Quaid. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I was like, from Total Recall? Now I'm getting confused. Do you think we set-decked this cubicleicle or do you think this was just a real person's cubicle somewhere in the building? Set decked. Set decoration. So this guy's a sports nut. He's got Yankees.
Starting point is 00:31:52 He's got a Super Bowl pool. Yep. What floor was this on? 17. We're definitely in the building. Just some shutdown floor. Hit on Debra, get rejected. Swallow sadness.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Send some faxes. Call a sex line. Cry deeply. Demand a refund. Eat a bagel. I like that you brought a newspaper. Yeah, well, it premeditated. Yeah, it's a very nice detail. You're right, Keith.
Starting point is 00:32:23 He wasn't just shitting on her desk. He knew it would take so long that he also wanted to get his newspaper reading in. Yeah. And he knew that he needed to shit on her desk, but it wasn't like he had one locked and loaded. He was like, this may take a while, specifically because I'm doing it at a time when I normally wouldn't. So basically, Deborah's failure to welcome your advances has sent you on a real spiral.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I mean... On a daily spiral. We might be dealing with an untrustworthy narrator here. The eating a dry bagel on a paper plate over the sink. I remember we talked about a lot, like in terms of, I remember saying the words aloud to whoever was doing props and like, no, no, no, he'll just be eating it with like a plate over the sink. Like very, it wasn't random. It was very specific.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Like what's the saddest way you can eat a bagel? It had to suck bad, yeah. I do like the check back in with Rogan, though. Like, it's just that it's being told to a guy the whole time is a nice little reminder of, like, and then you're aggressively talking to him about it. So I like we've bought a gun. We know that's what's happened. Also, Yoram, that's you serving the...
Starting point is 00:33:23 Yeah, me and Keev make a little cameo. Yoram serving papers, Keev selling drugs. Spilled the gun, right? Didn't he sell you the gun? That's what I meant. Yeah, we got that. We had Wigg and Sudeikis. But they're cast, I mean... I just want to point out, for a boss, all it took was one thing going a little bit wrong
Starting point is 00:33:37 for you to just fall to pieces. Once again, we're working in the tradition of the classic, Seth. It's an untrustworthy narrator situation. Gotcha. But you're the narrator. All right, Seth. It's an untrustworthy narrator situation. Gotcha. But you're the narr- All right, nevermind. Yoram, what's the most famous novel that you've read
Starting point is 00:33:50 that has an untrustworthy narrator? Yeah, great, great. Don't say Confederacy of Dunces, dude. Do not fucking do it. Don't dunce us again. Don't fucking, don't you do it. I'm really thinking. I don't read much these days, guys. And if you're gonna read,
Starting point is 00:34:06 Yoram's always said to me, if I'm gonna read, the narrator gotta be trustworthy. Damn straight. I don't got enough books in me to be jerked around. That's why I don't read that much. There's not enough of them. Don't ask Keith, because he'll say the Constitution and then we're gonna have a whole thing. Oh, wow. That's good. Here we go. It's been lawsuit, no promotion. Fifth of vodka. **** on Deborah's desk. Buy a gun. Eat my mouth. Oh crap, man, I can't even do it. Pussy out. Should I be playing the clean one? Not because we don't curse, but because then we'd hear the SNL laughs, see what they're going for.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Oh, well, I like hearing the dirtiness. I feel like that's taking us back into the world a little more. Can I ask a question? Do we have the shot in the SNL airing one where the gun is actually in my mouth? Because I feel like that maybe would have been a point of contention. Hmm. Oh, but wait, I forgot to point out the best thing about the page we were just on, though.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Let's see if it loads at the same. It did. See over here? Yeah, Seth Meyers' closet picks, Criterion closet. Oh yeah. Four hours ago. I'm excited to watch. 15,000 views in four hours, Seth. I'm excited to see what kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:35:12 How'd I do? 15K in four hours. Hey Seth. Can I tell you? Seth, Seth. Cause you know that I, yeah. Congrats on all your success. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:35:20 You know, I obviously read YouTube comments now for content. You know, I read our YouTube comments to see what people say. Right. Sure. And I read my show's comments for corrections. And so I'm in a bad habit of reading the comments. And somebody was like, I fucking hate when non-directors do criteria in closet. It's just for people who like movies, guys.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Oh, yeah. Tons of actors have done it. Give me a break. Also, I would say that out of anyone's opinion that I respect, like you and Neil Brennan, movies guys. Oh yeah. Yeah. Tons of actors have done it. Give me a break. Also, I would say that out of anyone's opinion that I respect, like you and Neil Brennan, if you like something, I'm like, oh, okay, I'll pay attention. Whereas, you know, me and Keefa are directors. Keefa is pretty lax, I would say, with his likes sometimes.
Starting point is 00:35:56 I like a lot of stuff. He's like, oh, fuck yeah. I'm like, oh, I don't know about that. I am lax. All right, here we are with laughs. We're going to see what you did on that gun moment. It was faster. Yeah, no, it's not in the show.
Starting point is 00:36:08 You didn't put it in your mouth. Oh, yeah, you're right. I was wrong. I was wrong. Oh, crap, man, I can't even do it. Pussy! Oh, my God, you're... Yeah, and we did the clean version. ...instead of shit. Shneeeer!
Starting point is 00:36:20 Instead of shit, shneeeer! It's a great sound. Fuck. Pukon Dapper's desk, jump out the window. There's one of those Phil Himes windows. Chekhov's windows. Although this is the short. He was not even near it.
Starting point is 00:36:34 I wish I could go one frame at a time, but somebody in the comments will tell me how to go on a YouTube clip one frame at a time. Is that me jumping out the window? I think it is. That's not an easy window to jump out of. Was it really you, Andy? No. They did not let you jump through that. No way.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Is it a stunt guy or is that me? Has to be a stunt guy. It's a good jump. If it's you, Andy, it's a good jump. It's a stunt man. It's got to be. Yeah, I would be surprised. I mean, I did that live a few times, but not maybe with that much momentum. Pizzazz.
Starting point is 00:37:02 You could have easily hit the bar, though, and hurt yourself. -♪ What's about the window? Suck a dude's dick. Like a rock. Score some call. I love this take when you go running by Bill to suck a dude's dick. But both of you guys have some pretty good, like,
Starting point is 00:37:16 body whips in this. You're very whippy, muppety. It's very cartoon, like, s-errrr. They should have a break sound of this guy's. It's like if two muppets were, like were doing fellatio. AKA all of our fantasy. Here we go, let's see it. Whoa. That's a nice cut.
Starting point is 00:37:31 His speed. Nice edit. His speed in which you had to do it. Yeah, he's got a nice boomerang momentum to it. I wonder if there was, man, now I need both versions. I'm curious if it was more graphic in the other version or not, because we cut out that fast. And also maybe we see me do some coke in our version?
Starting point is 00:37:48 Yes. Yeah. I'm so glad we did a visual unedited version. Very exciting. Yeah, we didn't usually do it. Yeah, but we'd already recorded the song for our album, so, you know, went in Rome. Suck a dude's... Score some coke...
Starting point is 00:38:02 Crash my car... Suck my own... Eat some chicken strips... Chop my... He was da best. Lot happened pretty quickly. Yeah, in was the best. A lot happened pretty quickly. Yeah, in ten seconds, quite a lot happened. Very, very fun shot of you sucking your own dick. Yeah. Yes, that was precursor to the 100th Digital Short. Yeah, yeah, that's how we learned how to shoot it.
Starting point is 00:38:36 We learned a lot. Is the tombstone at the end the best? Is that a reference to... Was that already a collid thing? I, was that already a collid thing? I think that was already a collid thing. We Da Best? Yeah, I believe so.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Oh, yes. It's a great fish. This is one of my favorite, Andy, having sex with that fish, cause your face is demented. Like you were a straight up breakfast effector. Did they make that fish for us? Cause this is our one set where this is a-
Starting point is 00:39:04 If ever a breakfast defector there were... Are you demented, bro? Did you definitely have fourth meal? Oh my God. Don't ask Akiva about the Constitution, Seth. How long? He will go off. Fucking unreliable narrators all the way.
Starting point is 00:39:22 The founding fathers? Yeah, let's start there, brother. More like the founding liars. No patriot, is he? But the fish is great. It's a giant fish. It's a really good fish. Yeah, you're really enjoying yourself.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Well, not enjoying yourself. You don't seem to be enjoying fucking his brain out. Oh, and the fish comes back in the 100th digital short as well. Yeah, you don't precursor. Oh, yeah. But can we play out, we'll say my favorite part though is just the interaction with you
Starting point is 00:39:47 and Rogan at the end and just what a dumb dude you are. Right. So that's an average day for you then? No doubt. You chop your off and die. And I think at one point there you said something about sucking your own. Nope. Actually, I'm pretty sure you did something about sucking your own s***. Nope. Actually, I'm pretty sure you did.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Nah, that ain't me. Okay, well, this has been eye-opening for me. I'm the boss. Yeah, I know. I got that. You said that 400 times. I'm the boss. Yeah, yeah, I got it. I'm the boss. Okay, great, I heard you. Bye. Like a boss.
Starting point is 00:40:22 You mentioned, what was the thing Khaled did do first? We the best. We the best is one of his main things. We the best. Okay, so the way to go one frame is when the video's paused, the period key makes it go forward and the comma key makes it go back one frame. Wait, repeat that, Keith? That's a really handy thing.
Starting point is 00:40:41 So if you want to step through YouTube clips. Period forward, comma back. Terrific, terrific. All right, so can we then go and see if it's Andy or a stuntman? I don't know if there's enough in there, but we can try. But by the way, should we rename the pod Life Hacks? Oh yeah. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:40:57 After we get through the 100, yes, we should just make it that fun Life Hacks. Is it too wordy to call it super sick Life Hacks? No, super sick life hacks? No. Super sick. to be good for you. Irresistible flavors, honey roasted, jalapeno lime, chili roasted, bring the heat, the sweet, or the kick to keep you coming back for more.

And then my wife comes home and says, did you eat all of the wonderful pistachios? And I say, no, I didn't. And then she'll say, well, where are all these shells from?

I had forgotten that this guy denies having said that he sucked his own dick. Well, it's weird. Like, he's an unreliable narrator who then immediately starts walking stuff back. It's very strange. Yeah. I kind of want to hear Keeves' version because I will say, Rogan did a very good job being incredulous with all of your, just looking at you being like, okay.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Right. Was quite good. But Keeves, were you equal to that? I mean. Be honest. I mean, I don't think I'm the actor Seth Rogan is, so I don't know that I'd want this apples-to-apples comparison. I liked Keeves more. That's how sure I am Seth's never gonna listen to this.
Starting point is 00:44:50 That's... We already know that people on the studio do not listen to this. Yeah, fuck it. Ike. I can say anything I want about Ike. He'll never know. Ike, as old a friend as I have, loves comedy, loves you guys, doesn't have time for a pug. Emphasis on old, am I right, Seth? Doesn't matter. He'll never hear it.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Older shit. When he gets into the car or is doing exercise and wants to listen to talk something, you know what he's listening to, Seth. When he wants talk radio style talk. Oh, Rogan. No. It's a huge Howard Stern fan.
Starting point is 00:45:21 No. He is a huge Howard Stern fan. He is legitimately a very, very, very, like knows the trivia, like can go on there and tell you everything that people did over the years. I remember the first time he did Stern, it was like a real rite of passage for him. I thought for sure you were going to say family trips, Keev, but let the truth ring out. I was not a joke. It was a real thing.
Starting point is 00:45:40 I cannot tell if it's you or not, Andy, but it does, I'm guessing it's not. I just went through it back and forth a bunch of times. Can I clean up a couple of things? Oh wait, do you have more to say about Like a Boss? It's very fun. I was happy to watch it again. I think that we could say a little bit more. I mean- Please go in.
Starting point is 00:45:55 The thing about it that was unexpected was that it became a bigger one. It really is one that gets referenced a lot. Yes. Yeah. It's one of our bigger singles for sure. Yeah. It's one that gets referenced a lot. Yes. Yeah. It's one of our bigger singles for sure. Yeah. It's good that you said that Andy, because I remember when it aired it was funny, but I remember you like having sex with a fish, not that it was a real earworm banger, but
Starting point is 00:46:15 that's what it turned into. Yeah. It turned into like a song of yours that people like to play. Correct. Well, it also turned into a meme and a thing people say. Yeah. You know, like, totally divorced of the video and of us and the song, and we didn't invent it, so it's not ours. But the success of that meme is certainly from our SNL video, not from all the references, which is also weird because we're referencing a bunch of stuff, but we certainly popularized
Starting point is 00:46:41 it after it was already very popular in one way. Correct. Not ours to claim, but it did become permeated for a long time. I mean, I remember like driving to LAX and seeing a huge billboard that was like, fly like a boss, and being like, whoa. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of that. Yes. There was a Beats by Dread. There was an entire movie. Called Like a Boss.
Starting point is 00:47:01 That came out like three years ago called Like a Boss. Like a Boss is a catchphrase often used in image macros or GIFs that feature a person completing an action with authority and finesse. This is off the top of his head. Similar to Haters Gonna Hate, the characters in the macros have an air of superiority and do not care how others perceive them. Nice. The internet's great. The phrase stems from the Lonely Island single Like a Boss, a parody of Slim Thug's song
Starting point is 00:47:25 of the same name. And that's a fair assessment. Love it. Did you guys do this on tour? Yes. We did. Yes. Andy did.
Starting point is 00:47:35 And me and Yoram kind of stomped around behind him doing the like a bosses. Yeah, we did good. It was kind of a fun part because we would pass each other. We went back and forth just being like, like a boss. Do a little shock. Like a boss. Like a boss, like a boss. I like the way, Yoram, you said it was nice that we passed each other.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Like, you genuinely were like, remember, we used to see each other every time we passed. Yeah, we did. We would be on different sides of the stage, and we'd be like, here we go. We're marching towards each other. Nice to bump into you, sir. We would give each other a little look of like,
Starting point is 00:48:01 we're up on stage doing this. Isn't that funny? It's really nice that like when you were on tour spending all that time together, Yoram still liked, and then we got that extras time. Yeah. No, okay, but there's two moments from the tour. Like there's a couple of me and Keev moments,
Starting point is 00:48:15 but we all had moments of, you know, we've been friends since we were 12. So the idea to just be on stage, sometimes performing for a lot of people, like at Bonnaroo it was like 35,000 people. So to do that and pass your friend that you've known for this long and be like, uh, hello, sir.
Starting point is 00:48:30 And he's like, uh, the real Johnny. Oh, you again. Oh, hello. Here we are. This makes sense. Fancy to see you on the boss performance. Yeah, and then the other thing that I reference from the tour all the time was we would also be backstage, me and Keev, when Andy was performing, threw it on the ground, and we would always listen in for the lyric,
Starting point is 00:48:50 and they tased me in the butthole. Because to have several thousand people sometimes, all screaming, and they tased me in the butthole, was just this moment of like, what is happening? That would be the funniest moment every time. Why does anyone like this? Hard to think of a better place to be on Earth than in front of thousands of people screaming that line along. Oh, God, it made me so happy every minute.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Very wonderful. But yeah, it would go off like a boss at the concerts. It was musically very fun to do and kind of was a gift that kept giving that song, because we never really had high expectations for it. We just thought it was like a fun, stupid throwaway idea. I mean, super catchy and super fun to sing. Oh.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Are we watching the commercial? I was curious what this one was. There's a wannabe. Almost a turtleneck and chain that this guy's wearing. A casted Sandberg here. Oh my God, it's going on for so long. Hold on. Kmart shop like a boss.
Starting point is 00:49:41 That's what we're looking at. Didn't quite save Kmart. Nope. And all the articles in Forbes about it going down, Kmart shopped like a boss. That's what we're looking at. Didn't quite save Kmart. No. In all the articles in Forbes about it going down, that was the moment that they point to in the graph where it starts nose diving after that. They were in a desperate attempt to win young shoppers. Wow. So many brands just took it.
Starting point is 00:49:59 I just Google, sorry, earn like a boss on Uber. Here's an Arm and Hammer PowerSheets TV spot, toss like a boss. Seth, you like to toss like a boss on Uber. Here's an Arm and Hammer PowerSheets TV spot, Toss like a boss. Seth, you like to toss like a boss, right? I do like to toss like a boss. He said it. I don't even. There's an Acura ad from 2015, Drive like a boss.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Like a boss compilation? Yeah, there's a lot. I like that the podcast has now just turned into Keef scrolling. Google. I mean, we're all kind of sleepy. I like, it was for me just like, hey, nice. I mean, again, last one was fucking just red hot. Getting a lot of feedback from last pod, especially how it ended.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Which was, how did it end? I didn't get to that part. Well, you were on it. Yeah, I know, but I didn't get to that part. How did it end? It was mostly just talking about why Mari didn't want you to show your wang on girls. Oh, yeah, that's like.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Oh, yeah, the guy. And about who would affect it. Guys, by the way, I know with ha ha ha ha we're all laughing and everything, like my wang is fucking totally reasonable size. That's what I said. Everyone knows it's good. That's what I said, it's totally good. Everyone knows it's good.
Starting point is 00:50:57 I know, I know, I know. I just want to make sure that everybody knows that. Did you guys look at how many views it has on our post, on our uncensored post of Like a Boss? It did not. Do you wanna guess? 79,000. 79 million, rather.
Starting point is 00:51:08 I'll say between Yoram's two guesses. Somewhere between Yoram's two guesses. Like A Boss is over 100 million. No, it's like- It's been a long time. I bet it's 150 million. Yeah, it's over 100. 150 million. 182.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Wow. That's what I was wrong when I guessed between. But, Keev, are you factoring cumulatively all the clips? Like, what about- No, just that one, just our factoring cumulatively all the clips? Like, what about... No, just that one, just our one post. What about the clean one? What about the SNL? Like, are we up over two?
Starting point is 00:51:30 I don't know about that. Okay, because I don't even care. You're not a numbers guy. I'm not a numbers guy. I just want to impact the culture in a positive way. I feel like you have to factor for inflation though, too. I don't know. Because there's more people that check YouTube now,
Starting point is 00:51:42 so like the hits meant more back in the day. Yeah, there's more people on earth. So what do you think, with inflation, what do you think it is, Jerm? At least 400 million. Great. Seth, what do you think? At least 250. 250?
Starting point is 00:51:54 And Keev, what do you think of the Constitution? You can't trust them. Oh, it's a Molotov cocktail set. You can't trust guys who wear wigs. You can't trust guys who wear wigs. You can't trust guys who wear wigs. Unreliable narrators. Anyways, to get back on track, I agree with Andy and Yoram that this thing, we were surprised when our record label told us it was the one that the kids liked.
Starting point is 00:52:19 And then we made the video and had fun and we liked it and thought it came out well. And then we were shocked at what a long tail it had and how well-received it was. I guess that's the end of that. A couple of, you know, I'm basically pulling corrections into the pod, but I kept saying Calvary instead of cavalry. Did you? Why did you do that? I don't know, but Calvary, of course,
Starting point is 00:52:38 is the place where Jesus was crucified, and I'm sorry to bring religion into the pod. I mean, obviously you lost me. You know, we made a deal early on. I wouldn't talk religion and Keef wouldn't talk constitution. Seth, it's a Molotov cocktail. You don't want to say that to Keef. I think King Lear famously had three daughters, not two sons.
Starting point is 00:52:58 A lot of people giving you shade on that, Keef. That's who he's giving his kingdom to and deciding who it's going to go to. That's the succession story of King Lear's daughters. Keef, I'm giving you a chance here to be like, duh, I knew, big mistake. Instead, you're just shocked. No, I have no clue. I've never read King Lear. Oh, it's worse for me because when I heard the pod, not the end of it, and heard Keef say that, I was like, wow, Keef knows a lot of King Lear.
Starting point is 00:53:21 I mean, the quickest Google means I'm totally wrong. I always thought King Lear was the succession thing, but with like two sons and they're all vying for it. I'm totally wrong. So now that you know it's three daughters, is there any chance you'll read it? Yeah, I'll read King Lear. No problem. I'm a voracious reader. Yoram, is this true?
Starting point is 00:53:42 Was this really your answer? Last week somebody wrote, this is their favorite line. I said, where is I don't give a honk from? Yoram, you said our brains. If that's true, what you said, that's really. Yeah. That's like a four-year-old's answer. Also, I alluded to a film.
Starting point is 00:53:58 A lot of people said if you're alluding to the film Milo and Otis being the inspiration for Rocket Dog, it has been proven as an urban myth that a lot of animals died on that movie. Oh, really? I'm not admitting that that's the movie I was alluding to, but were you to infer that, I want to clarify that and that might be an urban myth.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Well, but offline that we cut out, you did say that it was Milo and Otis. Yeah, but then we cut it out so people would know. Yeah. Yeah, but you did say that it was My Little Notice. Yeah, but then we cut it out so people would know. Yeah. Yeah, but you did say it. Like, I'm like, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:54:29 I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:54:35 I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:54:42 I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm week. I want it in this week. I wasn't like cut it, I was like save it. All right, well. No more housekeeping? No more housekeeping. There wasn't much housekeeping this week. We didn't really talk too much about that album and the shitmuck song.
Starting point is 00:54:56 I thought it was really good. Shout out Greg Chun. Good job. Good job, Greg. We didn't talk about the episode either, the Like A Boss Was In. Oh, yeah. Was there anything that popped for you in the episode? You guys had a Muppet sketch. It was the last sketch of the night.
Starting point is 00:55:08 I don't quite remember it. Do you remember it? I'm gonna go ahead and guess I was playing the Swedish chef. It's Muppet Bus. It's a Bobby is the first name. According to this, then it's you and then Mulaney, but I don't know if it's accurate. We are screwed! Ha-ha-ha! Me-me-me-me! Me-me-me-me-me-me!
Starting point is 00:55:23 Oh, man! Beaker's freaking out! Meep meep meep, meep meep meep meep meep. Smorgie board! Meep meep meep, meep meep meep meep meep. Smorgie board! Meep meep meep, meep meep meep meep meep. Smorgie board! Meep meep meep, meep meep meep meep meep.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Smorgie board! Smorgie board! Smorgie board! Smorgie board! Smorgie board! I was also in a sketch called Girlfriend Voice that Seth Rogen, Mulaney, me, and Bill wrote together, apparently.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Gotcha. Which I think is probably like how guys, when they're like, are talking shit and being all brash, and then when their girlfriend calls, they change their voice. Hey! You know what I mean? Not something we've ever done,
Starting point is 00:55:53 because we are honest, true selves with everybody. Yeah, that sounds about right. Uh, oh, Easter album. That's Clancy T. Baclarat and, uh, and Jackie Snad. So you know what? Why don't we just drop in and play our new national anthem which I'm assuming since that's how the sketch ended. It was a national anthem based on Easter. Oh, there is a sketch. I had no memory of it. I went back and watched it. I really liked
Starting point is 00:56:44 it. It's a very, very dumb sketch. It's called You're the One That I Want. And it's Fred brings in Seth, and he sits him down and all the other employees. It has a real like a boss feel. Everybody's standing around and Fred says, Hey, do you remember how I asked you? Everybody on the team put together a presentation of my speech. These guys worked on the PowerPoint, these guys worked on the special effects, and you were in charge of the audio. He's like, yeah, I remember. Then he said, well,
Starting point is 00:57:13 this is what was on the CD that we sent to all of our clients. It's just the grease song, you're the one that I want. But every time Fred plays it, he plays it for like 40 seconds. It is just 40 seconds of that song while everybody just like stink eyes Rogan. Oh, God. That's really good.
Starting point is 00:57:36 It's really funny because then Fred talks about how hard everybody works, and then he like just keeps going like, and instead people heard this? Then he plays it for another 40 seconds. It's like beyond obnoxious. works and then he like just keeps going like, and instead people heard this? And then he plays it for another 40 seconds. Andy It's like beyond obnoxious. Jared It's really good. Jared This sketch I assume is not available for people to listen to then, or watch it rather. Andy Unfortunately, I feel as though it will not be available.
Starting point is 00:57:57 I bet you can do this, Andy. I bet you can do it. Andy Okay. Jared Phoenix is the musical guest. Andy Yeah. Jared Name the two songs. Andy Uh, Listermania and 1901. You can do it. Phoenix is the musical guest. Name the two songs. Listermania and 1901. You did it. I'm proud of you.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Well done. Really good. It's hard to do that. You did it. Did you get that clean? Did you get that clean? No, I was fully looking at the rundown. Oh.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Yeah, okay. There it is. God damn it. Didn't get it clean. Like I'm the one who just told you guys I wrote a sketch and everyone ignored me. I don't know what's going on on this pod. This is a fucking disaster. Listen, I told you guys I wrote a sketch and everyone ignored me. I don't know what's going on on this pod. This is a fucking disaster.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Listen, I told you I was very sleepy. I have like two percent left on my computer, so I might have to go get a charger. Or we just try to jam it out till I die. Not till I die, till my computer dies. Let's jam it out till you die. If we jammed this out until you die, that would be a fucking groundbreaking show.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Like, obviously I love you, Seth. Obviously I love you. Do I want you to die? No, dude. Stop being so fucking sensitive, Seth. Obviously I love you. Do I want you to die? No, dude. Stop being so fucking sensitive, man! It's groundbreaking! Just hear me out! You fucking life-loving piece of shit! The only way you would root for me to die is if we wouldn't end the podcast until I did.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Look, if there's one thing everyone knows about me, it's that I love podcasts, and I want to make my indelible mark in this field, in the medium that I so love and adore and cherish, frankly, something groundbreaking like Seth dying, let's go for it, fellas, who's with me? ALL LAUGH Dudes looking dope is next.
Starting point is 00:59:19 I never heard. People don't know what that is, yeah. Cut for mephron. Can't wait to talk about that one. Well, so we'll do that. We'll briefly touch on that. Then Mother Lover. Wait, really? So a big one coming up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:29 God damn. And then, oh, also in Dwayne the Rock Johnson, that was the Cathy where JT was on as Cathy's husband. And then Jessica Beale came on as Jessica Rabbit. Oh, yeah. I thought we already covered that one. I know, I did too, but they... We did talk about it randomly
Starting point is 00:59:46 when you were talking about, I think, Cathy, your first Cathy. Yeah. We just jumped and talked about this one. But this is the rock episode is the one that had it. Oh, interesting. Then the next week, there was a member we talked about Save Broadway.
Starting point is 00:59:57 There was a sketch called Save Comics that was about the comic strip characters. And Cathy appeared back to back weeks because Cathy showed up. And you know what? I'll just have Kevin play the line. You had some line where, like, we have to protect our strips, and then Kathy made a crack about her strip that I did not care for. Oh.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Whoo, Kathy! Kathy, we're trying to think of ways to save our strips. Hey, don't look at me! I don't have a strip! Mine's so overgrown, it looks like the Amazon rainforest! Oh! Well, I'm sure I didn't write it. That's not very Cathy-like.
Starting point is 01:00:27 No. Who wrote the sketch? Let's get to the bottom of this. I mean, I think Mulaney's name was first. That pervert. He didn't care about it. He's never understood Cathy, what she stands for and what she's about. First thing I thought about him when we met.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Oh, but then, Yoram, I feel like we could do a very special episode on the last of the season is Mugless. Oh, yeah. I know, not a digital short, but Mugless is the sketch, the sketch that didn't work that I think about the most. Well, this, I will say, it's going to be a little painful to like reveal this darker side of myself to our audience. Oh, right. Because it's autobiographical.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Yeah, this is autobiographical sketch. You were very young. No, I would do it tomorrow, Keefe. Oh, okay, great. Well then. Yeah. Interesting. No, no, this is like deep soul shit that we're gonna reveal.
Starting point is 01:01:17 I've never thought about that. That means we did one that didn't air, which was rare for us, then did Mother Lover, one of arguably the biggest ones we ever did, and then another one that didn't air the very next week. Well, Muggles is a sketch. Muggles is not. No, no, but My Secret Weapon. Oh. The puppet one.
Starting point is 01:01:33 That one should have aired though, I feel like. I know, but it's interesting that we sandwiched Mother Lover with two unaired things. I didn't realize that's how that went. Mother Lover took a lot out of us. We'll get there. It was a huge... And then we had a whole album full of new songs and then just made a new song, I didn't realize that's how that went. Mother Lover took a lot out of us. We'll get there. But it was a huge... And then we had a whole album full of new songs and then just made a new song because we needed a Dick in a Box sequel.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Because it was Justin. Yeah. But it is crazy that within what, five shows, we did Boat, Boss, and Mother Lover. That's pretty nuts. But we'll get there. Guys, we'll get there. Alright. Alright. Well, I love you guys. Love you.
Starting point is 01:02:04 We love you, Seth. Love you too, next week. Should right. Pleasure. I love you guys. Love you. We love you, Seth. Love you too. Next week. Should we talk for another five minutes, though, and just see what happens? Later, Quades. Wait, who was that? That was the guy.
Starting point is 01:02:14 That's how it always ends. Later, Quades. And is that Quado or is that somebody else? Wait, you came up with your own tag? You didn't tell us? It's grabbed from, like, a random sound bite. That's why it sounds so different from my normal voice. Laterquades. But it's Quado, or is it someone totally else?
Starting point is 01:02:32 No, no. It's just from like a sound bite from some AM radio thing or something. Did we have to license it? Do we pay a license fee every time we use Laterquades? No, it's so short. It's so short. It's fine. Can I hear it one more time?
Starting point is 01:02:43 Laterquades. Yeah, it's good. It's really good shit. Thank you. All right, so let's just do a's fine. Can I hear it one more time? Later, Glades. Yeah, it's good. It's really good. Shit. Thank you. All right, so let's just do a dry run, so we'll do the normal ending and you just to give a sense so I don't get caught off guard by it next time. Love you guys.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Love you, Seth. Love you. Later, Glades. I love it so much. Really. I do? I hated it. The first time I heard it, I super hated it, and now I love it so much. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:06 We're right back on board. It's just, it's good to have something so that everyone knows the show's over. Yeah, it's a signifier. Yeah, true. And period. We don't have like a, the Lonely Island Seth Meyers podcast
Starting point is 01:03:17 is presented by or produced by, right? It just cuts off after we are done talking. Yeah. We don't play the jingle again. We should do like a daily thing though, with this thanking all over. So I do, I think we keep making the problem though, cause we keep talking over it.
Starting point is 01:03:28 So like this time. Exactly. It has to just be the ending. Yeah. Now let's do it for real. We're gonna do it just one last time, run through it. Sounds good. Here we go. All right. Love you guys. Love you buddies. All right. Love you.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Love you, Seth. Later, quits.
