All right, can we start? Sure. Yeah, let's start off. Get ready, Dad. Oh, good. This is what you want, right? I'm assuming the explosions are going way longer now. Let's see.

Oh, I wish. I wish. Nope. Same amount. Same one. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Lonely Island and Seth Meyer podcast. Snow Day edition.

It's a snow day edition. So we're supposed to be recording Great Day. Yeah. We might actually record it tomorrow. It is a Sunday. It is a crazy storm has hammering the East Coast. Yorm and I who live on the East Coast have managed to work our way to podcast studios just through, like, driving sleep. I'm not at a podcast studio. I'm at my friend Jake's house. There's like four kids downstairs screaming and playing Mario. That's great, Yorm. I was doing a bit, and I was going to eventually get to the fact that Andy couldn't make it.

Yeah, because of the snow. You look like you're in a studio, though, Seth. You look profus. Yeah, well, I'm actually in my office because it's. It's better podcasting, but at least Andy gave us 30 minutes warning that he couldn't do it. For me, it was last because I just checked the gym. Wait, so Seth, so you still traveled from your apartment to your studio, even though it's a Sunday? I was coming in from north of the city. I abandoned my family. To come here, I was supposed to come back Monday morning, and then I started panicking that I was not

going to make it back. Because as of this minute, we are going to tape tomorrow. And I was just worried I was not going to make it back to the city. do my late night show. Do you guys remember like early days of S&L? Like there was a blizzard, our second or third year? What? I can't remember what it was. But like, uh, but people were like

cross country skiing in Times Square. And that was like one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I remember the only show, which I was worried that was going to happen for S&L last night. It did not happen for S&L last night. But when Paul Giamatti hosted, which was before your time, the weather was so bad that the after party was just in 30 Rock.

That's incredible. Like a conference room where they just had like Bad wine and beer. That's such a fucking drag. Which is also like, Giamati's the perfect host to have that happen, too? A thousand percent.

Just like the saddest after party. Like somebody would write a movie about him hosting SNL. Yeah, and that's what it. Yeah. Wait, so wait, the storm right now, is it supposed to get worse? It is supposed to get worse.

It's supposed to basically go all day. It's pretty white out conditions. It looks like there's about eight inches down to... But I think the roads are going to get worse tomorrow because it's going to stay cold and everything's going to freeze. Yeah, yeah. So there's worry that like your audience doesn't show up?

I think people in New York are going to be fine. I just think that if you were out of the city, getting into the city, it'll be hard. Yeah, got it. We walked over here and my five-year-old daughter did not enjoy, like, block seven of getting over here. I'm sure. But things must be pretty harrowing in L.A. as well, Keeve, if Andy couldn't make it. You know what? Their family's been passing around a little bit of a cold of some sort.

And so there's a lot of chaos right now. Now, don't you feel bad, Seth, you fucking dick. I also have a cold. That's fair. Seth, how often did you come into our office at SNL and Andy was on the couch feeling a little under the weather? I would say passing around a cold is what I would say outside of making really funny songs, that is what the Lonely Island did. Yeah, the three of us just the same cold just by the time the first guy was good again. Yeah.

He would just get it. They would say like, what is it like working with the Long Island? And I was like, well, you know, one was always a little sick. And they were like, oh, no, I meant the music. I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the music, too. There was a small room. So because Great Day is short that we're, you know, proud of, and it's one of our main ones in our minds, criterion in our minds.

We can't do it without Andy is what our text story was talking about. And we agree. But what is this podcast if we are just always, like, Andy is going to go shoot a movie soon. This is public information. You know what? I shot a movie too. So, you know, we fucking... Yorm, you have to stop jumping in.

You pass the baton. And just derailing. We all know. You did miss a fair amount of episodes during this. And Andy will too. But, you know... Well, these are, I guess, the test episodes. How many cues and A's can we do, you know?

Well, that's the question. Yeah. We can also... We'll let me start with a cue for you, Keeve. Yeah. How do you think Yorm and I did without you guys? Yeah, solo, solo. Oh, well, I really enjoyed it because, again, I guess every time one of us misses it, we kind of get the experience of what somebody might like about this, which is that it's just hanging out for an hour.

And when I'm in the car alone, it's way less lonely to feel like, oh, I'm hanging out. Hey, somebody made this comment because Yorm and I each accidentally called the other one Keeve at some point. I appreciated that. And someone did suggest that the next time Yoram and I do an episode together, it's called a two. Keeves episode. That makes sense to me. Yeah. Yeah, you're just the,

you're the guy apparently, Keith. There was not a lot I felt like to follow up on, except for, there was one moment, Yorma, you were just telling a story about your life,

and you were saying that one of your kids like to find interesting music on Spotify or whatever, you just throw out two words and he said Mama's gun. Yes. And that was how you found something. I don't know why he said that.

That's a fucking crazy two words to put together. But that's a very famous Erica Badoo album. I think it's her second album. Oh, Mama's Gun, you're right. You're right. But he didn't know that album. I was shocked that Apple Music or Spotify or whatever you're using over there

didn't immediately play Erica Badu. But maybe it does song first rather than album. Like, does song take preference over album? Like, when I type in Mama's Gun into Google, it's the only thing that comes up. The critically acclaimed second studio album by Neo Soul Singer, Erica Badu. It is crazy that I didn't think of that or mention it, Because it is, yes, like 100% it should be that. And I don't know why that came up.

And I don't know why he said it. He was just yelling out words. I don't know. And they were not a huge band at the time. A music thing should just immediately play, Therica Badu. Spotify, work on it. Let's not prioritize Mama's Gunn of the song over Erica Badu.

Guys, speaking to Spotify, I got my award. I got my little award, too. I feel like I forgot to read what mine said. What's so interesting about what Spotify sent us is that the award itself is substantial. Like, they made real awards that they probably gave to real people. And then they had extras and went, what if we give some more away as goofs? And we got goof words.

What is your say, Keith? The Eternal Optimist. But I think, you know, when you get your end of the year Spotify wrapped email, and it kind of labels what kind of a listener you are, I'm sure this is one of the labels, people, if they listen to, like, upbeat music can get this label. So I think they just assigned one of the labels. I got to say, Kee, this is the only Eternal Optimist Award you're ever going to get. Yeah, it's not fitting of my personality. It makes me think they don't actually listen. Or it's sarcastic?

I feel like if I, the award I should have received from Spotify is the Age Gap Award when all you listen to is stuff that's like 50 years apart. So it's like K-pop and like Fleetwood Mac. Yeah, you're just doing the 70s and the 20s. Yeah. There was a lot of, we did mention it, Yorm. A lot of our listeners were enthusiastic about the idea of an episode called Oops. all your arm. You know what?

People were mad that Jeff basically... I got shut down. I got shut down by Jeff. I think Jeff just knew better. Like, let's not do that. You know what I mean? Yeah, Jeff, I think Jeff knows that the loudest people

who leave comments maybe aren't the best reflection of our total listener base. And the 2%? Yeah. Love you guys. Love you guys. Connor is our service member who asked for a message from Andy

and I said Andy didn't have shit to say to Connor. Obviously, I do want to hammer home that that was me doing a bit. Oh, did some people misunderstandings? No, I don't know. I was worried about it when we were doing it. But I want Connor to know that he's not out of our heart. We're still thinking about him.

And eventually, Andy is going to be on the pod and we'll probably have something nice to say. 1,000%. And I want to say, congratulations on your eventual nuptials, Connor and, yeah, lady. You're hoping. They're not engaged. If you listen to your own episode, you'd realize

they're not engaged. That you guys had misspoke. Well, Connor, time to pop the question, Connor. I like that Yorm has a good memory for stuff that didn't happen. Yeah. Well, in my mind, in my mind, you should have already asked her, Connor. And I think that... Why are people...

I didn't listen to... I don't tend to listen to these with ads. Yorm, a lot of people had words about your chime ad. What did you do on the chime ad? You know what? I was saying this to Akiva, because I don't... He was very sexual. It was...

Or it was a ASMR. It was very deep voice and it was very smooth. But the best part about it... Yeah, but the best part about it was then the quantifier came on at the end. The little, like... super fast talk, what do he call us? Disclaimer? It seemed like a disclaimer from a female voice

that's none of us that was at like four times speed. So Yormat taken his really sweet time talking about whatever that product was. And then at the very end, like everything he just said is a lie. Do not listen to this guy at all. He is a fucking idiot. It was the polar opposite of him.

It was very funny. To discount everything Yormit said. So it was a lady chipmunk. It was one of the lady chipmunks. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Stephanie. Somebody said that Hot Rod was in their family's top five movies,

and one of the movies was Night's Tale, which I've never seen, the Heath Ledger movie. Oh, yeah, of course. With, what was her name? So Shana... Shannon Sossaman or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Knight's Tale.

Yeah. But I feel like having now watched the trailer might be a perfect movie for my boys. Yes. You know, I have a list in my notes of, like, family movie night. Yeah. And this has been on it for like four years

and gets shot. I go, all right, is it E.T? Is it? Like, I give a list each time. what we can watch and then people have to choose something when it's filming the movie. And this one, they haven't chosen yet, but I'm excited. I remember liking it when it came out. I remember seeing it in what year?

2001, is that it? Yeah. And I remember liking it. So I've been trying to revisit it ever since. I love that you watched that in 2001. That's like right when we were fucking around making shit. Yeah, I think like me and Matt watched it at our house. Yeah.

There's a lot of Alutnik, Mark Eddy, like some real friendly faces. Paul Bettney. This might be totally wrong and I'll get clowned in the comments, but I seem to remember it was doing a thing where it had modern songs, but that felt fresh in that like interesting, you know, combination of its like medieval times with pop songs. Well, it's like, I mean, it's a nice payoff. The only reason my boys like Led Zeppelin is because of Thor. Like, that was their gateway.

Gotcha. Yeah. Have you shown them School of Rock? Yeah, recently. Is it the same Led Zeppelin song in both that they sing in the van? I can't remember. I can't remember either. I don't think so.

The great thing about School of Rock ends with just that long musical performance while they're rolling credits. It makes you so happy. And it's an ACDC song, and that they sing all the time now. They love it. That's an ACDD song.

The very last one is? That way it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll. I was thinking, we were stuck in the dumb days. If we had had more than 30 minutes warning that we weren't going to do great day, then I would suggest we would choose a movie

like a Knight's Tale or a pilot, like NYPD Blue or I watched the moonlighting pilot a few years ago. Like that would be a perfect one to talk. Can we please do that? And we just choose something. Yeah. And we just make that we're a rewatch podcast for something. But one of us gets to choose.

You know what I mean? Like it floats around. Yeah. I love it. But again, this is good, Keeve, because I think that our listeners just love being behind the curtain and finding out how we talk about.

Just I think they like knowing we never talk about this podcast outside the podcast. Yes. And we barely talk to each. other outside of the podcast. We're going to get it in now. Oh, gosh, I have it. It's in my office, which is not next to my podcast studio, but I did a show in Charlotte, North Carolina on Friday night, was supposed to do a show in Durham where I was going to see Emily Spivey for a drink afterwards. I know. I saw her sister in Charlotte, but then that show got snowed out, so I had to come back. Wait, what's your sister like? Is her sister exactly like Spivey? Yeah, and she's the best.

And also, she listens to this podcast, and she said her favorite thing about the podcast is when we talk, say nice things about Emily, which made me so happy. That's nice. But a cousin of mine, Justin cousin, who have maybe only seen

like three or four times, but he, he quaid-armyed me when he came in, and he brought a tea, he made a T-shirt that's a black t-shirt that has Quado

coming out of it. So it looks like Quato's coming out of a black void on your shirt. And it's, even he said it's bad. It's a bad shirt. Yeah, Quato is bad to look at.

Quato's bad to look at. I did talk about our Quato challenge coin that I was given and can report back that I mentioned how cool it was and I think there's a chance you guys are going to get your own. I'm so jealous. If that's a real thing, I'm very psyched on that. Oh, two more things and then we have some. When we have dinner, Seth, if we get our challenge coins, I'm definitely going to keep mine and you better fucking have it out or you're paying for a round of drinks. Do you think there's that part of what's maybe unique about this podcast is that it's four very, very close friends

who really don't communicate very often outside the podcast because we're so busy. So you really don't miss anything when you're, as an audience member, you're not missing things in between, really. Yes. You're really just living your life and we're all living our lives and then we're all coming together again to kind of catch up. It's like a virtual world where like nothing has happened when you turn it off. Yeah, exactly.

Things have happened individually just like they've happened with you. Yeah. We have to move the ball forward even an inch. since you last heard. No, you've done things in your life. You've gone to work and hung out with friends or family and, you know, done what you've done. And we've all done that too, separately. And then we all come back together.

We all come back. It's good time. I wanted to, uh, I, you know, I actually think it was such a hard spelling bee today. I do think there's a good chance. That's why Andy bailed on us. Oh. Well, let's at least text him for a spelling bee update. Yeah.

We'll text right now. All right. All right. We text them and say, say also that's my accusation. What makes it good, like a hard bee? Is it like a lot of cues in it? No, a cue would make it easier. It's like letters that,

because it's always one, it's like a hundred words, not when it's like eight. I did send you guys this week that I got solid again on one of them. Oh, we talked about how I should be the Spider-Man with teeth in the Spider-Verse movie.

Is it happening? Is that happening? No, but there's a couple of choices. Can you guys Google image this for me? Rec wrap, R-E-K-R-A-P, and that's a Spider-Man with teeth. from the actual Spider-Man universe. Okay.

Oh, yeah, he definitely has teeth. Look at this one. Yeah, that's rec wrap. And I guess he's like, so that's like a... He's quite large, very muscular for a Spider-Man. That's a problem. So, yeah, my voice might not be great. It does seem like you want a deeper voice for a rec-rap.

Also, rec-rap is Parker backwards. So that's like an alternate universe. But again, we're into the Spider-Verse. That's perfect. Doppel-ganger. We look up Doppel-ganger in the Spider-Man. I think you'd be a great rec-rap. Also, doppelganger.

I can't believe I miss this. If I was doppelganger and... both S&L Digital Short and Spider-Man. Oh, yeah, he's got like Venom teeth. He's scary. I don't think you should play that, actually. A lot of people said Venom is a Spider-Man with teeth, but we all know Venom's not Spider-Man. Come on, guys.

No, he's in the Spider-Man World. I wish Venom had been called that. I think it would have done much better as a movie. Spider-Man with Teeth. If it was Venom, colon, Spider-Man with Teeth as the subtitle, that would have played way better. I would have been there in a heartbeat. We could have Ruben directed that. We could have Ruben sent in a voice note about if they ever considered calling it that.

Uh, last one, Keeve. Venom, Earth, 8294. 8294. This is Eddie Parker. So that's like if Venom was Spider-Man. Oh, that's a Venom Spider-Man, yeah. Yeah. So, anyway, so thank you for three of our listeners knew a Spider-Man with teeth. It's pretty nice.

I have one Q&A, and then we'll list it as some listener questions. Wait, I got one question, Seth. Did people like the episode with you and me, or did they fucking hate it? I think I was, I think we did okay, Yorne. Okay, thank you. We held serve. You know, you go fishing. Sometimes you catch a fish.

You said it. Question for the next Q&A. In photos of the read-throughs, there's always an impressive spread of snacks on the table at SNL. Do people actually eat those during the read-throughs at frowned upon? Is there a hierarchy

to who can eat which snacks? I feel like we should get like six ex-cast members on here and do an entire episode on the table read snacks. Go snack by snack. I mean. It'll mostly be talking about watching the guacamole go from green to to brown.

That's how you know when the read is over. If a sketch, if a sketch late goes good, the guacamole turns green again. Yeah. When it goes brown, they will cut off the table read no matter what sketch is being read

if it goes brown. And they're like, oh, it's over. But, yeah, I will say that there were little sandwiches that I would, I think I just said sandwiches and that was an accident.

There were little sandwiches. Sorry, that was an accident. I thought that you were being cute because they were little. Nope, I just stumbled and then heard it myself and I wanted to correct. No, don't correct that. It sounded like they are little.

So there's sandwiches. But I have my little sandwiches that I would just stress eat during the table read. Now, I will say it's not a hierarchy, but there's a bit of a logistical issue for the keves and the Yorms of the world that were not sitting at the actual table because the writers sort of sat in like church seating behind. Yeah, you're like second row or third row. We had the couch in the back. Yeah. It would have been insane if Yorma mid-table read had stood up, reached a. over and grabbed a sandwich. That would have been... You'd have to reach over a cast member's head or between two. It would be weird.

I would have done that. If we had had a sketch that was doing so badly that what's the point, I think there would have been a good bit to, like, slowly walk over during the sketch and have a sandwich. I do remember being hungry and watching you guys snack and feeling like, oh, I want one of those carrot sticks. Nothing about it was you were never happy that you ate the table read sandwiches. I can tell you that. And then, of course, the, I would say the most iconic thing that's happening during the table read is that Lauren Michaels is just slowly eating the largest plate of edamame. Oh, right. Is it always edamomami? Yeah. He likes edamomime and popcorn.

I wonder what year that got. Do you think that that was 1975? Edomame was around that much? That's a great question. I wonder what year that edamami got added. I bet it's like early 90s. Yeah. That sounds right.

Yeah, when all of a sudden. It's when Nobu. Just look up when Nobu opened. When Nobu opened, Lauren went there at Edomami. and then the next day. What's this? Exactly. It's like the new popcorn.

It's like the new green popcorn. Do you think Shoemaker would know that answer, Seth? I'm so curious if we're right. That is such a good guess that De Niro and Nobu opened the first one and exactly what you said happened, Seth. All right. Question for the pod, writing shoe. I like that he got more protein. Best guess.

This is now. I mean, the content we have for our listeners right now, just fantastic. Anybody thought this had to be about. shorts every week. It could be about what year? Wait, what, Seth, is that website now, you know, app, phone thing, where you can bet on anything? Oh, right. Kalshi or something?

There's like two really famous ones. Yeah. But we should probably put what year did Lauren start eating at a mama and then start getting the over and under? Wait, I said best guest to Lauren. When did Nobu open? Did you, have you Googled that? No, no.

Wait, so can you propose anything to bet on then? And then? I think you kind of can. Oh, man, I might lose my whole life doing that. All right, but I just have an answer. Ready for what Shoe said? Yes. 93.

But he's not connecting it to it? I just said question for the pod. When did Lauren start eating edamame at the table? Best guess. I said early 90s. So pretty... Yeah. So the original Nobu opened in September 94.

So now at say... Are you sure? Do you want to revise your answer? Bats on this information. Say, let him know that and then see if he changes it. I also like that I just wrote randomly to Reuben Fleischer. Did you ever consider renaming Venom Spider-Man? Or No, Reep, did not give him contact.

Yeah, just like out of, I haven't texted him in like a year. All right, well, you're going to get, though. Hey, what's up, man? You're going to get a very candid answer because he doesn't know it's public. I had to sign it Yoram just in case it's the wrong number. So the original Matsuhisa, which is Nobu's last name and is a restaurant in L.A., that was before Nobu opened. This was his first one.

And it's still there. It opened in 87. And you know it was the hottest restaurant in L.A. So you know Lorne had gone. Yeah. You think he could have gone in? Yeah, I think so. 87.

87? Yeah, he's in there. Support comes from Willys. Oh, man, Keev, we used to wake up, hung over, worrying about what happened last night. Yep. It still happens occasionally. Yeah, but like back in the day when we were really getting after it in our SNL days, we weren't lucky enough to have Willie's THC-infused social tonic.

No, that would have been illegal. It would have been illegal. But now, thanks to laws that have been passed, you can unwind after a long day and you can socialize without alcohol.

Oh, sweet. Support for this podcast comes from Airbnb. All right, I'm going to sing this one. Booking a trip with Airbnb makes a better trip for you and me. You could be traveling

with a family. Looking to discover authentic local experiences, the rhyme fell out. Or you could be taking a trip with a group of friends. Whatever Airbnb makes it easy. Here's a personal experience that everyone's going to want to hear. Recently, my cousin Katie came up to visit me. We didn't have enough room staying at our place, unfortunately, because we were jammed up with my folks-in-law. And she found an awesome place down the road from us, super close with Airbnb. And love the place, super warm and cozy. It's

snowing on the east coast. And so that was a winter wonderland for her as well. And it was just incredibly easy for her. And I also just loved how close it was. Also better than a hotel because you're feeling like you're in that local experience. Experience. Anyway, she loved it, guys. And we built snowmen. I have always loved staying at homes on Airbnb. They are wonderful to feel like you've got that local experience. There's so many different locations, obviously. there's also guest favorites, which are the most loved homes on Airbnb. When you reserve a home on Airbnb, you receive space to spend time with your family without hanging out in a hotel.

Or you can book a property with a private pool. That's cool. Places to stay in the coolest parts of the city, not the touristy parts, unless you like that sort of thing. They also got that, too. A place to cook and dine together? Yeah, not me, but, you know, I could really. reheatabola ramen, I guess. And no worries about your kids disturbing others,

which is a big plus for all you parents out there. Andy replied. He said, I bailed. Don't say it until the end. Okay, guys. So once again, go on to the gambling app and put in your bets now for,

so you heard me say bailed, you know he bailed, but how many short was he? How many had he not gotten? Everybody, he blamed himself for being sick. Yeah. No one could argue. Still working.

One could argue it's because I'm sick is what he said. Yeah. So he's so much better than me and I can, I mean, I feel like I'm still like 20 away. So even a sick and he crushes me. So we know it's under 20. Jeff, I got a question, Jeff. When can we just make t-shirts, Jeff? Can we just start making t-shirts?

You know what, Jeff? Every time you talk about T-shirts and the whole- This is a question for Yorm, I've been asking him several times to send me a design. Yeah. We talked about this several times this week. Knowing that we're not going to make any money off the shirts, you know, have passed his prologue, I feel like we should have more than one design. Because I feel like the fun of the Lonely Island shirt store is that, you know, there's just shirts that like maybe three total listeners buy. Can't we just do a revenue share with designers and just have it be open?

No. And anybody that designs one? Instead of making one design, I'm going to make five designs. Because I feel like somebody, some designer who's listening right now who makes a great shirt can earn the money on that shirt. That's fine. No. Keith, we get so many designs in the email, so you're just encouraging more people to send in more designs. But the question is, is there a website that sells shirts that would make it easy to revenue share where it doesn't become like a headache for whoever's doing it?

Oh, probably. Probably. Maybe. Yeah. Right in your comments, guys, hit us in the titus on that. I'll take 90. And again, here's the exciting thing, everybody. No conversation about T-shirts will take place between podcast recordings.

This is no work will be done. The next time we talk about it will be the next time anybody talks about. We can promise you that. We can promise you that. That no. This is no shade on any of the nominees. All her are great. Plemons robbed.

Yeah. Because Emma got a nom, right? Emma got a knob, deservedly so. Plemons, I'm just going to say it, top three favorite actors right now working today. Yeah, and he's so good in it. It's amazing. And then what do you think of him personally? Like, when you've hung out with him, are you like,

fuck this guy is cool I've never met him top favorite if you ask me about like actual people he might be my favorite actor in Hollywood today wow

but he's saying personally when he comes and sits on your Antolefont sorry just trying to worry about who might be listening when he sits on your

couch though snore right no I'm just kidding adore him I'll tell you wait I have a great Jesse Plemans

every time he comes on tells me how much his his grandmother's a big fan of mine and then he also told the story about how she has a shrine

she has like a little antique shop She has a shrine to Jesse. And obviously, he's done some really cool things. But the funny thing he said, I think he was on an episode of Grey's Anatomy where he had some weird, like, weird face disease where, like, he just would be as barely recognizable as Jesse Plymonds. And she just has, like, a still of that blown up and framed. Which is like really funny. Anyway, Wally had an idea.

He goes, hey, we should sign his cue card the intro to Jesse and send it to his grandmother for her shrine. Yeah. And by the way, then Wally's like, I'll get the cue card. And so Wally brings me the cue card. Wally's also signed it. I'm like, okay, Wally. So Wally and I send this signed cue card. And then Jesse Blemann's grandmother writes the nicest note,

like puts in a picture of the cue card on the wall and just writes the sweetest note. And it's just so lovely when a person comes on your show and talks about how their grandmother's super nice. And then immediately the grandmother proves that they're not inflating that at all. That is so... Where is he from? Texas.

Got it. He's a real Friday night like. It was. He's a real. He's a real. He's a real. Real deal. Now I don't respect his acting as much.

Oh, because you like it. He was just being himself? Yeah. I mean, that's fucking cheating. That's what you do every night, Seth. That's true. Look, no, by the way, nobody is impressed with my acting. Um, where were we?

I don't even know. Hey, why don't we listen to a voice note? Hi, guys. It's Titi from Baltimore. I'm gay. Hey. Sorry it's been so long. My mom and I are both,

brain and we keep forgetting. I have two questions. How old were you when you knew you wanted to be on SNL? I was seven when I knew I wanted to be a writer and eight when I wanted to be in the skits, in the sketches. Also, who's your very recent host? Mine is Ariana Grande because she's friends with Bowen and I love my best friend's house. It's so surprising and gross and it reminds me of digital shorts because it's musical and funny too. Okay, hope you have a great day. Amazing. I loved it. Once again, just amazing. Thank you. Thank you, Edie.

Seth, was it always your dream? Andy's talked about that it was always his thing, since he discovered it after wrestling, you know, tuning in for wrestling, and it wasn't a wrestling Saturday and discovering SNL as a kid. Probably around the same age as her. It was my favorite thing, by far.

When I go back to my childhood home where my parents still live, my bedroom has so much SNL stuff. Like there was a 25th anniversary book that came out that my parents like got for me. Like it was a thing. I would get like SNL stuff for Christmas. I don't know if it was like I think it was like too big to consider it a dream. But one of the coolest things is when I went back for my 10 year high school reunion, I was on, I think I'd been on the show for a year.

And the amount of people at my reunion were like, I knew it. And it was just like, oh, that's so great. Like you had a far higher estimation of me than I did. That's very sweet. Yeah, it's very sweet. I put that in that same category. There's no way that I thought Asanel was a possibility in my life. Yeah, I wouldn't have dared to dream, but we did love it. Oh, taking my son around the hallways recently on like a Sunday and just showing him stuff and it's still being like, I can't believe I worked here. I can't believe, but we made any kind of impression at this show while working. Like, I'm still surprised I was even able to audition for the show. So it was never on my radar as a possibility at all. But loved it growing up, absolutely. And my era of Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, that was my introduction, really.

I remember thinking when they had reached out to ask for an audition tape, the very fact that they had given me their mailing address felt like a total triumph. It's like a coup. You know, very public mailing address, of course. It's like 30 rocking whatever the zip code was. I was like, oh, 17th floor. Oh, I better print well on this envelope. Nope. Yeah.

Keev, did you ever, you know, there's no fucking way, right? No, no. But, you know, like, was obsessed with it from the moment I realized it existed. I don't know how old that was. I remember sneaking into, because Akiva had a, his parents had a lock on their TV. So I remember being over at his house. Akiva sneaking up the stairs, stealing the key. Oh, my God, we're going to get in so much trouble.

And, uh, okay, your mom must, is just going to be so fucking pissed when she hears this. Here's the story. And turning it on and watching SNL with you and being like, oh, my God. What do you mean a lock on your TV? Yeah, this is very bare. It was only for a year or two of our, it wasn't all the time. It was only for a couple of years where she was trying different ways to get us to watch less TV. And like one of the things you could find and buy was a TV lock.

And I think it basically, it was a extension cord for the TV that had like a little box over the part. where it would connect the power. So, you know, you would have to unlock a teeny little plastic box, and then you could plug in the TV, essentially. In my mind, it looked like a kryptonite lock, like key. I don't know if it was. Yeah, I think the key was that kind of circular little lock. Yeah.

I can't believe I remember that. I remember so little, but I remember that. It only happened in our house for like a year maybe or something. You know, it's another one of those things you kind of try and go, no, this doesn't really work. It made watching TV better, though. You were like, yeah, fuck, yeah. You're like, I unlocked it.

You had to work for it. It's so funny that all those years ago was the same problems as parents have with their kids now, which is like, how do you just get them to look at stuff less? Yeah, it's like locking the phone and you're like, and then I just knew the password that my parents had put because I watched them do it once, and then I would unlock my own phone.

But yeah, recent hosts, I will just say that, I don't, it's already happened a few other times, but that first time I saw that Nate Bargettze, George Washington sketch. I was so jealous. of it. Oh, I love it. And like the best way of like, oh, man, this is perfect. And I can't believe they have a second one that's sort of equally good. Yeah, that's great. I went up, uh, I rarely do this, but I went up to Mikey and Streeter's office once I heard they wrote it to just tell them, like,

I had to like get on the elevator and come up here to say like it was perfect. And the great thing, which I'm sure they've talked about at length at this point was it had, it didn't really do that great address. Like, it was, I kind of thought, it was on the bubble. And I was like, Like, this must be, have been a home run from the minute you did at the table. They were like, no. Everything was a little bit off. And dress was the first time we clicked. Wow.

Just goes to show you. Seth, again, I was going to say the exact same thing. It was Nate, Nate Burgessi for me. And I'd love that particular sketch. And I've showed it to so many people. And I also love that that one is one that you can show to anyone from any country in the world. And they'll be like, oh, yeah, that's funny. And kids.

Yes. Oh, my God. Like that great, that way that Nate Bargettzee is good all the time, you can show it to kids. It's hard to do kind comedy and still be funny, and he is that guy. He's figured it out. Steve hates him, and Andy hates him. Andy hates him. Andy hates him.

I prefer my comedy a little bit more tweaked. So demented. I feel like, by the way, I think this is like seven pods in a row I haven't been on with Andy. And I'm telling you, he's about to be shooting a movie and it's only going to get worse. I don't know what's happening here. I think everybody's looking forward to Keev Yoram and Seth talk about the moonlight. But also, Eadie, thank you for sending that voice note. It was lovely, and I hope we answered correctly.

What do we got next, Jeff? Do you have another voice note? Hey, Lonely Island. This one's mostly for Akiva, a little bit for Andy, but I just showed my daughter the Chippendale movie, and she, well, I'll say what she thinks in a second. I wonder why you guys never bring that up. And I would love to have a full episode just breaking that down because it was super fun. And Andy was great in it and bring Melania, too, to talk about his experience.

And this is what my five-year-old thought of the movie. What did you think of the Chippendale movie? I love it. There you go. Oh, well, that's very nice. That was great. Yeah, we could talk about it later when we get up to it. I think we definitely will.

I feel like we don't talk about the really recent stuff that just predated starting the podcast because we're not up to that. Yeah, we're going in order. You gotta wait. But thank you guys for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I have plenty I can talk about if we... I mean, I'm sure we'd all have to, like, almost re-watch it,

and then we could do an episode where I can talk about the good parts and the challenges, the things I'm not as happy with. Ooh, look at that. That's a real tease there. Not the eternal optimist, I guess. I mean... All right, great. What do we got next?

Hello, gentlemen. This is Edwin Allen Richards the fourth, a longtime quaid, first time, a qualer. And I have a question that has plagued me for about 20 years now. Back in the day, you all created a short called the Back Seatsman. And in this short, everybody seems to have the same point of interest, and that is 56 in Lennox. And I just am here to ask you, what was at 56th in Lennox? It has plagued me for, for 20 plus years, as I previously stated. I lose sleepover it at night. My girlfriend is sick of me tossing and turning and sweating in the night, wondering what the hell was at 56 in Lennox? If you could answer that, that would be really awesome.

Also, Andy, I think your character work with the backseatsman was some of your most actualized and creative and deep character work, truly that you've ever done. So I wonder if there's maybe any chance of a revival of that character, maybe a movie, maybe a spinoff series. Yeah, that would just be great. Also, follow up question in Awesometown at the very beginning,

were you guys actually dancing with your moms? Were those your real moms? Yeah, I don't know. Hit me in the tit me. Let me know. This guy had two good ones. Thanks, love the pod. You guys are great.

Sweet. Later. Okay. The one thing we can answer is, about our moms and those were me and Akiva's real moms right and then Andy had a fake mom I believe is the joke in Awesome Town. Oh God, I'm barely remembering. I just remember that I had wanted to do a bit at the beginning of Awesome Town where our moms come out. It was going to be all our real moms and then somebody in the audience was going to say hey everybody check out those moms and then all of the

audience was going to start chanting moms moms moms moms and then we were going to be like why is everyone so excited about moms. Like we just like, what, what? And then they were somebody was going to be like, we're all orphans. Yeah, we're all orphaned. And everyone was going to be really excited because they were orphans.

We didn't do it. Ugh, spilled milk. But, um, back Zedzeman, I don't want to be blamed for that at all. And that is entirely out of Andy's brain. So I wonder if we should even bother addressing this one or just redo it with Andy. Even if

it's on the episode with Great Day, be like, before we start, we had a Q&A that is, because Andy and Chester really were the creative people. It's one of the shorts we made before we even made like Awesome Town. It's like one of the like around when we were doing like Cablamo and stuff, like 2002, when we were just making little shorts around the house. It is pretty much entirely Andy and Chester, right? And it was an Andy Chester joint.

I mean, I definitely remember helping shooting at it, but it was not, I don't think I can answer. We can do that. But where do you think this gentleman saw the backseatsman? It would just be on our YouTube channel, but since then. I didn't even know it was still on YouTube, but I'm sure it's right there. from 2002. Well, that's good. Then people could use this time

to go and watch the backseatsman. No, but here's the thing. We can bet on this. So my guess is, 56 and Lennox, it's Annie and Chester. My guess is that it is a reference to some sort of hip-hop album and somebody like Nas mentions

56 in Linux or something like that. That's my guess. Keeve? That's a great guess. And Chester is from New York and they also met at NYU and we're in New York a lot. So yes, but it does sound like,

because Lennox is not in Manhattan, right? 56 and Lex would make more. Yeah, but Lenet, 56 and so maybe it's made up or maybe is that in... Look it up, let's put it on Kalshi. Let's put it on Kalshi and see what comes up. Look up lyrics. 50s.

So far, the questions have been not for us as much. Or you can't talk about it in the future. All right. Do we have another question? Jeff. Hey, this is Rachel in Tampa. I don't really have anything great to add, but I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your podcast. I'm just a little old Jewish grandmother, but I'm a big fan. Keep it up.

Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much. That was so nice. Can't ask for much more than that right there. Yeah. We've got some pretty good grandmas on this podcast. I think you added plenty today. I think you added a lot, honestly, to my day and to this pod.

That was great. rivaling Jesse Plumman's mom so far. Yeah. I mean, what a nice, what is just nice time that was to have her drop in? Kept it nice and short. Yeah. Didn't overstay her welcome. Just, I also, you know, really wasn't, like, sometimes people are like, I don't have much to say,

and then they ask, like, three questions. She really, like, stuck with her premise. Yeah. She just wanted to share a little. So, Yorm, hold on. There is a 56 in Lenox that just looks like east of Prospect Park kind of near, like, how do you say Utica, Av, how do you pronounce it? Utica.

Yeah, I was going to guess that it was right there. And which street is the, and is the 27 a freeway? Or is it just a big street? Dude, I'm just like that I am in the Bay Area where I'm like, oh, 580? Is that a fucking thing? Like, I know I get on the BQ. Yeah, Clarkson, Av, and Utica. By NYC, King City, the hospital.

How about this? I'll go there. I'll tell you what it's like and why they probably. You know what I mean? I think that's the only way to solve this. That's the only way to do it. Like, oh, there's a Popeye chicken there. Like, they used to go to.

Actually, you know what? It would probably be a roundtable if it's Chester because he was big in a roundtable. I'm pretty sad. Oh, yeah. So a couple of things. Dale was in the New York Times mini. Oh, yeah, as in Chippendale,

as in Andy's character from Chippendale. So we can chalk that up as another. McGee was in the Spelling Bee. And somebody thought that that could be an illusion. I don't think that that, I don't think we can claim to gear at this point. I got a Q&A from my audience. Somebody said in my Q&A, they said, hey, I have a question. Is sushi glory hole based on a restaurant the Lonely Island went to?

And I, no. Like, it took a long time because it seemed like a genuine question. I was like, yeah. Like, it would be so much less impressive if you guys were like, yeah, no, that happened. No, we went to it. It's a real thing. We went to one that had that. By the way, I like that song so much.

And when I was thinking about like, oh, if we ever made an album, would you ever want that as the title? And then like, nope, no thank you. Have either of your kids seen Zootopia 2 yet? Yes, they just saw it last weekend. We watched it as a family. Okay, great.

And I saw 28 years later, bone patrol instead, or whatever it's called. Bone Patrol. It's not called, I know it's not called Bone Patrol, but it's something like. Patrol. It's something like that. No, I love that one, Bone Patrol. It's Sean William Scott.

Oh, my God. Wife sent me out to the video store to rent Bone Temple. I came home with Bone Patrol. I just say, awkward. Pretty awkward at the slumber party. I mean, we watched it. We watched it. It was a bunch of ski bunnies on the slopes, and they're all... Do not watch Bone Patrol with the kids. An old Civil War burial ground. They're skiing over it. By the way, you guys are making up random shit here, but it's very simple.

similar to what actually happens. All right, here's the thing, though. So can I Google Maps real quick? I'm just going to show you my... Oh, Jesus Christ. I'm going to show you 56 and Lennox. Check it out. Okay.

Yeah. See the sign? Lennox, 56. Didn't allow me to go there, huh? You just wanted me to... It's just houses. Just houses. Interesting.

Wait. How was Bone Patrol? Bone Patrol is so buck wild. I haven't seen the one previous, which I was excited to see that... And you were showing up for the famous, you know, Dick swinging dicks? First of all, I didn't know about that,

so that was a fun surprise. Didn't know any about the thing about that, and I know I'm a late to the party. But yeah, there's a lot of big dicks in the movie. Zombie dicks. Zombie dicks. Although, when you see the movie, I don't want to ruin anything for everything,

but debatable. You know, like, things are happening. And there's full on, like, goes into, like, music videos, and, like, it's just fucking buck wild, that movie, you know? Bone Patrol. That seems like, I feel like Buckwild is a good review from your arm.

Yeah, for sure. By the way, it got a fucking like 93 and 90 on Rotten Tomatoes. Bone Patrol. You gotta see it. It gave it two grades? Audience award. Audience is 90. So there's tons of male frontal nudity and it's called Bone Patrol.

It might be the same one I rented. I will say, I will say, if you're going to see it, and this is a spoiler. Yeah. He never gets erect. And I do feel like that that's a slight on the movie. Oh, so the title is kind of like sarcastic. And maybe that has to do with the eating the brains and everything like that. I just think zombies are famously like not turned on by humans.

It could be that. It could be that. But there were other zombies there. They were all so naked there. So he just didn't get turned off by anybody. But having said that, a lot of blood, it would require a ton of blood to get that thing hard. Oh, we're not talking about the gore in the movie. We're talking about now we're talking about the science behind getting interactions.

Yeah, with those massive hogs. So cool. What a great conversation. Thank you for this. Nick's caller Next color, go ahead As long as most of the audience is 7-year-olds and grandmas

First off, it's not called Bone Patrol. Akiva, it does the semantics, fucking next caller, please. We talked about Zootopia 2 already. It's great. I agree. They all loved it, by the way. Also, if you guys recall,

Edie's mom doesn't let her listen to the podcast. She just tells her about it. Oh, good. Thank God. Thank you, Edie's mom. All right. Shut up. I mean, thank you, Edie's mom,

That is great, which was some sweatpants. I wish I remembered what they're called, though. They are called Sunday Performance Joggers. Yeah, but that's not the one I got. I got ones that were a little baggier because I prefer baggy sweatpants, and they were called like beach hang out on the beach kind of joggers or something. All right, great. Well, I think, you know, obviously that's enough information, I think, for anybody to go to the website

and try to figure out what you're talking about. And I think it shows a real authenticity to the ad read that you didn't do the work ahead of time. Yeah, well, but it's genuine. Yeah, it is genuine. I'm not reading copy right now. I don't even have copy in front of me. I'm just in these beach sweats, just fucking chilling. It's cool to curse in the Viori ads, right?

Totally. And I'm also going to just speak off the top of my head to say for exercise, hey, wear my favorite core short. The one short, every sport. They're stylish and comfortable enough to wear all day. Their soft, lightweight, four-way performance stretch with a breathable boxer brief liner. Thank you for just saying that from the heart.

Look, I have a lot of respect for the people of Viori and the ad copy they've read, but I had to speak from the heart there. Yeah, it meant too much. You were like, this feels rote, and I'm going to just,

it's like the end of wedding crashers when Owen Wilson keeps pointing to his heart. Yeah, yeah. That's what just happened to me. Viori is an investment in your happiness for our listeners.

I doubt you guys remember me because my last voice note was from all the way back to the third listener episode. So it's been a while. probably two winter soldier to recall that. I asked about if loving that gary girl was a crime, which I guess makes me the dacery girl. Girl. Hold for laughter. Okay.

Okay, great. Andy said it wasn't a crime, but it might be a comedy crime. So yeah, that's why I haven't called in a while, because I just got out of comedy jail. It was not as bad as I thought. Okay. And now hearing the new criterion episode, I'm just glad I have somebody like the Questlove to be on my side about Daugry Girl,

and that made me very happy. That's all I have to say, really. I don't actually have a question except for, how are you guys? Anyway, you probably won't hear from me again after another year. Love you guys. Later, Quidge. You're definitely not going to be in comedy jail after that. Don't worry.

I like it. I mean, it is for the Dakry Girl believers. I mean, the Questlove thing was a huge breakthrough. Yeah, they've, felt really vindicated. I mean, and it ultimately, you know, it had to be somebody like Questlove. It could be like, you know, Beck Bennett, you know. No, you wouldn't trust that.

It had to be somebody unimpeachable. I thought Quest's response were so well thought out and interesting, like, his take on, as with everything. Like, he always has an interesting take on stuff, but it was just so enjoyable to hear him speak on that. I really fucking love Decree Girl, too. But you knew I would. Like, that's a fucking gimmie. It's likeing it means nothing to anyone. Exactly.

It would be like if somebody said, like, if you were on trial for murder, and then they were like, don't worry, we got an eyewitness who can vindicate you. And you're like, oh, my God, that's great. Who is it? And they're like, you're like, you're like, oh, I'm going to fucking jail. Oh, I'm a dead man. I'm a dead man. Or a woman.

Yeah, wake me when he falls apart on cross. How dare you, Seth. And you know what? If you get on a murder trial, I'm not going to come to your defense now. I'll miss you. I'd be nice if you did. That was a lovely message. And yeah, do not let us or anybody else put you in comedy jail for believing your own truth.

Thank you. All right. Just in terms of us catching up over a week, what's happened since last time, I think we were on here, is that Colin Jost came into town. I'm not sure why, but it was Golden Goebs weekend. I don't know if it was related to that. He sent a group text to everyone in L.A. saying, want to go to dinner. I'm going to be in town for the weekend. How about Friday night?

You know, the people like Tim and Zach and Michael Brian, all the people. Solomon. Yeah, exactly. Klein. You know, everybody you would think that we talk about on the pot all the time, just the L.A. based X.S. and L. writer guys. And I was in L.A. the night before just I flew in for 24 hours to see my brother for his birthday. That's right.

And I was so jealous this dinner was happening. Yes. and some of those people I just mentioned couldn't make it but we got like five or six of us and we're like all right we can do it this is the thing and we have so much trouble getting him to then follow up on his own idea to like

name of time and place that ultimately Andy has to make the reservation because he's so bad at Joe's so bad at texting even though it's his idea and then as we the night is you know like like I'm trying to think of the best way to put this but I'll just skip to the end

just can't come Yeah. But Joe's bailed like within an hour of a dinner he organized. Yes. And to be fair, he was under the weather. He was in L.A. and he was hoping he'd feel good enough to go, hoping he'd feel good enough to go. I'm, basically, just on his text. I didn't follow up with him after. But basically did not bail until we were already there. And we would have gone with or without him anyways because it was an excuse to have a dinner. And it was still five of us. It's not like we were all there for Joe's. That is so gangster and great. That's a fucking... So then he was... It was like maybe 10 minutes before, like, we... Some of us...

I had already gone to this hotel because I saw... Did you guys see I did that a little video with Pamela Anderson because we won a Rotten Tomato Award? So I had already just randomly because she was hosting at the Globes the next day. So she was at a hotel in L.A.

And I was like, oh, I'm going to be leaving the house anyways. Pam, will you do this thing with me? She said, yes, I texted her. I went to her. hotel and we recorded. And then I was like, wow, I have two hours to kill near the restaurant. So Andy came and met me. And that was honestly my favorite part of night was me and Andy got a drink outside at this empty hotel in Beverly Hills, which is so rare that we got together and had to drink. And then, yeah, and then the other guys met us. And then I think we were already at the actual

restaurant by the time. It was like, he's not coming. Well, that's it. Yeah. Oh, the other detail was that just maybe three hours, two hours earlier, it was maybe the Bears game was that night. And he texted being like, yo, I'm going to this like, it's kind of like a Soho house, I won't even bother

name dropping it, but a place in LA that's very like members only club to watch the Bears game if anybody wants to meet up there before dinner. And then maybe an hour before dinner said, hey, I'm going to call the place and see if we can make the reservation instead of six, make it 12. Like he's bringing

six more people from like some act you know I don't want to name drop his name drops but there was actor people that had hosted SNL that he was meeting there to watch the bears game nobody knows who the extra five were whatever six and then 45 minutes later's like actually it's all off and I never actually you went you're sick but you went to that club to watch the bears game and he's like no I actually never went to that I've been in my hotel room the whole time I just I thought I thought I was going to go to that. And then I thought I kept waiting to feel better. Like, so all of it, it went from making it 12 people to not coming. He's the best.

I mean, the only thing that would have been better is if he invited all those people and then didn't show up. If all five of them had shown up also without him, that would have been amazing. Yeah. So work on it, that shows. Can I tell you my favorite? This is not my story to tell. But a friend of mine met Vince Vaughn for the first time. And Vince is the greatest guy. Obviously, Akiva, you've worked with him. and he's just like a pistol of a person. And Vince is on fire. He's at a, like, they're at a bar.

He's killing it in the conversation that my friend's like fucking psyched to, like, meet him. And he's like, he's like, oh, what do you drink? What are he drinking? What are he drinking? Like, and it's him and his friend. And he's like, he's like, Roman Coke and you're a vodka tonic, right? Great.

All right. Never saw him again. He's just like, took their drink orders. He's going to go, get them drinks. Never saw him again. That's such a great way to leave a conversation. I'm sure. I'm sure he meant to.

It gets you out so fast, and it's like you're the hero. Yeah. And then you're just gone. Oh, wow. If that was on purpose, that's a genius move. It's a fucking great move. And I think we should employ it. Here's my Joe's story that has happened since the last podcast.

Yeah. What year did Taylor Lottner host SNL, Kevin Miller? I want to say like 2006 or seven, maybe. Yeah, okay? Taylor Lottner hosted SNL and Joe wrote a sketch called Manny Manimal. Do you remember Mani Manimal? Ish. Mani Manimal was the man of many animals

and it was basically like, it started with like cartoon type opening, like of a superhero cartoon where he was bit by a radioactive spider, but then he like fell backwards into a tank that had a radioactive octopus and he just

keeps getting bit by different things. And so he has the power of every animal December 2009. And then it cuts to him like stopping a bank robbery. And it's this crazy costume where it's got like a scorpion tail and like, you know,

falcon wings. And it's a nutty costume that was amazing, like the SNL property. And it was all about like how he just felt really sick all the time because there was just like too much stuff going on. But the thing about it is

the audience is super psyched by the premise. And then they're super psyched when they see the costume. But then it's like the diminishing returns of like just like, Oh, I think I might throw up. Is this air or is this just the dress? No.

So here's 2009. Does not air. I host October, I want to say, 2017. Eight years later, he resubmits Manny Manimal for me. Once again, enough time is past that everybody forgets myself included why it didn't work. We take it to dress in my show. Wait, same script? I mean, I'm sure Jost would say he fixed it.

Now you're Mani Menlo. Yeah, because you can go back into the computer, watch dress rehearsal and go, okay, what went wrong? Yes. So then basically, I do it at dress. By the way, my show, like, not a house on fire. It wasn't like, oh, it was a great show. It was hard to get through. Like, fucking eight shit a dress.

Not even considered. So you would think that's the death of Mani Mani Manimal. Resubmitted it for Finn Wolfhard, went to dress. Oh, no, shit. I wonder if what he changed again. We should watch all three dress and see how he'd be. I hope nothing. I hope nothing changed.

In a mon, we've got to get him on here, which will never happen. But like in a Mondo Butts way, see how this thing grew. It feels very Mondo butts. So, by the way, I think that's crazy. So kind of like an eight-year gap and then a nine-year gap. Yeah. To submit a sketch that then I cannot tell you. We're talking 16 years from the first one.

That's amazing. Yeah. Good for him. But also, the amount of people from S&L, because I, you know, I still work on. the eighth floor right so i'm constantly running into people like just like old script supervisors being like manny mannibals back i'm like i can't believe it they're like neither can we gotta build that costume again so then uh i go down i've never met fin wolfhardt and it was thursday i finished my show and i walked down and i was like oh i should go say hi to this dude so i just go

to his dressing room knock on his door and he comes out and i'm in the hallway talking to him and his parents and his brother, just the most lovely people. And then Jose comes down the hallway. And he, you know, I know. So he like goes like, he points in both of us like, ah. And then I say, does he know? And Joe says, yes, but I don't know what Joe's thought. I meant because then I said, so, uh, you know, uh, manny, man, animal. And then Joe's, Joe's eyes go like wide with fear. He's like, that's not what I'm saying. He knows. Eddie? Literally just gives me a hug and goes, No, no, no, no, no, no. What did Joe's mean?

We don't know? I don't know, because that was like the end of our interaction. That's like a sitcom way of dealing with the problem. It was the best. I'm like hugging someone and saying, no, no, no, no, no. It is, you brought up an interesting dynamic, which is with the resubmits, which famously can be, can yield great results in the most famous being cowbell. Cowbell spelling bee is another one. we talk about all the time.

Yeah, those are resubmits. So it's not that it's tainted material, but you could spook a host that it is. Like, oh, that one is a failed sketch, and now I'm doing it, why am I doing a failed sketch? Yes. And that's why the nose are there. That's why it's like,

don't get in his head that this has been tried twice and failed both times. You should leave the building. It was so funny to me, like the way he backed off it. But the other great thing was, then Finn says to his parents like oh my God he wrote this sketch called Maddie Manimal

and then Finn's describing it to his very sweet parents and like just it is playing to silence with his parents it was like every there was every bellwether was an ominous omen just their response to just what else is in the show and then it was so delightful because about halfway whatever like 1045 on ArtEx it would have been earlier like

9.45 on that Saturday I started getting texts from people who were watching the show being like, it's not going to make it. Got away in another eight years. We really got to see those. I know. Wait, Kevin said.

Do we have a picture of you in the manny mannable outfit? Oh, that's what we want. I want pictures of all three of you wearing your outfits. Who wore it best? By the way, the first guy that they had, Taylor,

was like in Twilight and had tons of muscles and could do backflips. Like, he would make sense as like a Spider-Man. Yeah. So it was going off of that seed of like, this kid looks like he should be cast as Spider-Man. And then Seth is the same thing. And then this doesn't make any sense for Finn.

Well, that is the three, like the three graph points of Taylor Lautner, Seth Myers, and Finn Wolfhardt, I think tells you that it might never have worked with anybody. We've tried it every, every version. And again, it's very good writing. Like, Jost is a very good writer. And he's also crazy and he's also stubborn. and he also cancels dinners, he arranged and organized. When they've already began. Too late for people to not go.

I love that. Wait, I'm going to share Mani Mani Mall real quick. Mani Emmanuel was an ordinary janitor at Seavu Radiology when one night an X-ray machine mysteriously malfunctioned. Mani was bit on the hand by a spider that had been exposed to radioactive rays. He was then bitten on the other hand by a radioactive rat which was trying to eat to spider. Then a hawk flew in the window right into the X-ray machine and bit him in the face. Mani screamed, waking the owner's pet German Shepherd, which bit Mani on the leg,

then ran through the X-ray machine, then bit him in the balls. Disoriented, Mani fell backwards into a fish tank where he was bitten by a zebrafish, a box turtle, and several jellyfish. He was then ambushed by a hyena, a rabbit, a horse, some fleas, a scorpion, a butterfly, and three squirrels, all while a crab watched. He briefly died, but then he was given CPR by a radioactive parent. But not before a radioactive gorilla had sex with his body. Now, he's Manny Mammable.

Whoa, that's the end of Mando Butz. That's true. He wanted to get some of that good luck from Mando Butts on this thing. From the original Mando Butts. The original Mandovots. The first iteration. Before it got too safe. You have the turtle shell on your chest. On the wrong side.

It's a really good. costume and this, also did you notice what my actual name was before I got bit? Oh no, what did it say? Mani Emanuel? Yeah. It's really, really good. So I was a janitor named Manny Emanuel, who then got bit by many animals. Spider-Man's real name was like Spedro.

His name was a spy Derman. I got to say my favorite part was briefly disoriented. Everything about it's very. Very good until it starts. You know what that's kind of a version of, but not in a bumping way, but just in a way, is O.J. Simpson's death or almost death in the very beginning of naked gun. Yes. When he goes into the boat and then he's getting shot and he's falling into the wedding cake and then onto wet paint and then into a steps into a bear. A bear trap rather.

Of course, that seed pales in comparison to what we just. That was a great, great intro. The best. So then this is just you having. stomach troubles and all pain in your body, basically, for the rest of this case. Yeah, just everything. It turns out when you have all those animals in your just your insides are a mess. Like the butterfly wings.

Everything about it's good except the results. Well, I think that's a great place to wrap it up. I'm always going to remember everything about it's good except for the results. We're going to, I mean, I will ask Jost for a voice note about a manny Mani Mani. I ask for a voice note about Mani Manuel and what happened with the dinner. with the five extra guests. Yeah. Okay,

that's great. And that will maybe, that'll help flesh this out. He'll weirdly be our fourth guest. And what he thought you were going to say to Finn Wilf? And what he thought you were saying, Finn Wolf are. I hope he lets us keep that in.

All right, you guys. Great talking to you. Oh, wait. We have one last thing. Oh, right. We got to circle back. Do we want to ask Jack Black to sing us into this?

Yeah, I guess so. Well, I mean, we already talked about it, though. No, we don't know. We don't know. I stopped it. I'm on Polly Market right now, and it's, I got to say,

whoever put in 12 short, you made 100 bucks. All right. Andy bailed 12 short. Oh, my God. So fucking embarrassing. Holly markets on fire, boys. Wow.

All right. Well, by the way, we, I don't know if you caught it, Keeve, but it was Scher's favorite part of the podcast, Mike Scher, original Criterion Collection Judge, who just was so delighted that when I teed up Yoram

to say later, Arnold, Yoram said, take us out, Arnold. Take us out, Arnold. He was so delighted that Yorne couldn't remember later, Arnold. What do we say? Wait, what do we say? Anyway, anyways. When we're in the soup of recording, it's hard to sometimes remember anything.

And then, by the way, Yorm sent us a voice note because Yoram tried to claim it was because he was on drugs. And then you admitted you read this text chain to Mari. And she was like, yeah, that's not drugs. That's you. She knows me well. All right. Love you guys. All right. Love you.

Later, Quads. No, that's his line. Love you guys. Keeve, will you do it? Later, Arnold. Later, Quades.
