The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast - Listener Q&A Episode 7

Episode Date: September 16, 2025

This week on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, we’re down one shock jock and it’s not the one that is literally in the hospital. Andy couldn’t make his schedule work with Seth’s so he’s not here. But the guys are answering your Qs with some As. Seth has discovered the subreddit and has pulled some choice pieces from it to share with the guys, but don’t worry they all agree that they won’t lurk. Also, Akiva explains his poor audio from last week by throwing the producer under the bus and the guys discuss possible merch options. Look below for a link to a place to submit ideas. They listen to some voice notes too and answer questions like, what Lonely Island song should I play at my wedding, where did the Laser Cats come from, and why does a gay woman find Jorma’s character in Girls attractive? And don’t worry, Andy did find a way to let everyone know how he did on the Spelling Bee.

Support comes from Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Hey, everybody, just Seth. The other guys are out getting some tropical smoothies at the Tropical Smoothie Cafe. They wanted a little escape in the middle of their day. They wanted to go grab a smoothie. That's classic candy. A bowl, that's classic Keeve. Or a rap.

That's classic yorm. And for a few minutes, it feels like a little wellness retreat for your taste buds. And that's what the three of them call each other, the taste buds. And for the smoothie people out there, big news. Tropic Fan Fest is back at Tropical Smoothie Cafe from September 15th through the 21st. You guys, one of the things they always tell me when they're like, hey, we're heading out. And I'm like, can I come? And they're like, nope, it's just the taste buds. And I'm like, where are you going? And they say, we're going to the Tropical Smoothie Cafe, because in the

middle of the day, we just need a reset. And, you know, when we sneak in to the old tropical smoothie cafe, it feels like a little, like we got a little vacation in. And God knows the three of them deserve another vacation. The menu stack two, try the fan favorite, Bahama Mama smoothie, the asci bowl with Nutella, top with fresh fruit, or the Caribbean jerk chicken wrap. And by the way, that's what I think they are for not inviting me, a bunch of jerk chicken wraps. You guys visit Tropical smoothiecafe.com to find a cafe near you. Terms and conditions apply.

Hey everybody, welcome to the Seth Myers Lonely Island podcast. Andy's not with us today, and we texted about it a lot, and Yorm just mentioned that he was surprised by this news. And I feel like we're in this weird place right now, whereas Yorm is in recovery, and so I don't want to be too hard on him. And I'm like, oh, maybe that just went in one ear and out the other. But then that was a previous thing that was happening, too.

So I kind of don't want to blame the ladder for this. You know what I'm saying, Yorm? I know what you're talking about. Do you have the drugs? How has it affected your short-term and long-term memory, you think? Oh, well, short-term memory, I think, is definitely better because my name, I feel like my name recognition and retention is better because I'm meeting so many nurses and, like, PAs, which I think stands for Physicians Assistant and, like, doctors and residents and all these people who come in, and I'm making a real point about it to, like, try to remember people's names, and I think it's better. I feel like a real Cato Caelin, and Keevan knows that reference, but nobody else will. But we met Cato Cailin once, and he was super good at remembering people's name.

I was going to say, I hope you weren't saying that you were impressed you remembered his name, because I'm kind of like, that's like one of the easiest ones to remember all time. I did remember his name. I was particularly proud of myself for remembering a thing. I would have thought, certainly on one of your sets, that you would be a complete name junkie. Name jockey? I would think you'd be on top of it. Because you think of me as like a social butterfly?

No, I think of you as just like a good leader on set who would know everybody's name and would make a real effort. So I'm surprised to hear this is any different in the hospital because this is something that I would always think you'd be good at. I think my focus is better here. I feel like on set because I'm thinking about 20 different things, it's harder because then you're just, people are ping ponging up to you saying names and then like with a decision of like, which color are blue? And so like I feel like it's a little harder, whereas all I'm doing now is either. either being in pain, lying down, making a Lego Home Alone set. You know what I mean? Like, it's a lot easier for me to focus on like, what's your name?

Like it's like, and it's also exciting because anybody who comes in here, I'm like, oh, God, what's your name? Dude, do you want to hang out? You're desperate for the interaction. Right. You're not like a day and a half behind schedule on a movie. You're just like a dude who's like, oh. Yes.

I'm like, hey, what's your name? What kind of music you listen to? You want to, like, play some jams real quick? No, no, no, no. the home alone second wait by the way everyone's very impressed with the my Lego it's almost done we have it we did it a couple of years ago okay

you're up on game you know it's really impressive but you can take a photo and put in the show notes there's a lot to put in the show notes now keve you know we set up a PO box for yorm oh yes and by the way I didn't know that it was a huge bounty really two bags full of gifts and I offered to yorm do you want me to open

him here in my office and we can just send picks to you yeah and yorm is like now man send him over. And I think it's safe to say, certainly, you know, I was talking with Mari beforehand. She might be a little worried about what Quaid Army has sent over to your home. Well, here's the thing. When I said send him over, what I meant was, send them over to me at the hospital. Sure, sure, sure. Yeah. So I, there was a little miscommunication there. Yeah, Mari was a little bit like miffed at what she was receiving. Totally, totally, totally, totally get it now. Well, wait, have they been opened? Are we doing some unboxing? No, I think that maybe

for next show. I'll bring some highlights for next show. Yeah, we've got to get them over to the hospital so Yoram can start going through him. I would imagine, Keev, based on everything we know about Yorm, I think he's going to be super psyched about sort of homemade fan art

in the Get Well Soon sphere. Yes. My mind immediately went to that people made baked goods, which is a bummer, because you don't want to eat them because you don't know what's in them. I don't think anybody P.O. Boxes is a baked good.

I think we're going to have a lot of... Okay. I think it's going to be like fan art stuff. By the way, I couldn't believe how big of a story it became off of us just talking about it on the podcast. Like, it was a real weird thing for me to go from like, oh, God, like, I just want to get better to like, I wonder if anyone wrote about me today. It's like a really funny. That became your pain killing drug. No, it became this weird.

Like, I was like, why is my ego involved now in my, the fact that I shattered my body? Does anyone care I'm hurt? Seth, Seth, you and your brother look similar, obviously, but I never really think about it. There's something about the shape of the hat you're wearing today. It's very Josh. It Joshifies you. That is Josh, where there's been a few moments where you've turned your head

and I've been like, oh, I would just think I'm looking at Josh. And the glasses, because Josh wears, I'm sort of second to glasses in the Myers Boys family. And so glasses and hat is a real, it can be Josh. I've got to say that those glasses, those are nice in your face, buddy. Those are good frames. The Redditors really have been in a fine form. They put a link to a bunch of actual charities that had ladder in the name because they thought that might be a nice way to honor.

And so we'll get those in the show to Damien's Ladder, which does home repairs for seniors, disabled people, ladder up, financial resources. This is where to donate in Yorm's honor. Yeah, if you want to donate to honor Yorm, you know, there's a lot of different charities. I feel weird about that because that feels like it's like in support of ladders.

Well, that's obviously I think what they're trying to say, but I will tell you, none of these are pro-latter charities. Okay, yeah, gotcha. Someone should have been supporting that ladder, you know what I mean? Yeah, good one.

Thank you. That's, I, kudos. I can't, no, no, it's on that comment. I'm just going through, I'm just scrolling through the Reddit page real quick and, by the way, one redder was like, Uh-oh, they read this.

So I think they didn't read. They dawned on them. I honestly, I agree with that, Reddor. I think that the quades need a private space. Yeah. To talk shit if they feel like it, because they know it's coming from, I'm assuming a place of love.

Otherwise, you wouldn't spend time with us on this pod. But not to think they're going to get audited by Seth. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that is fair. By the way, I'm not going to audit. And I will say, you know, we love a, we love a well-crafted burn. But, um, Ann Arbor, there's a brewery that has a, um,

Quaid Army IPA. So that's really exciting. Oh, I want to see that. Oh, that's fantastic. Do you have a link? Can you share screen on that? It's just a photo of the sign outside that's selling it. I just want to share real quick to show you this.

Can you guys see that? Oh. Oh, it's Andy. That's Frisberg. Somebody did basically a mashup of Frisbee and Sandberg. They did a really, a pretty good job. Yeah, it's really good. I hate myself.

Yeah, because that's what Frisberg says. we had a lot I will say we're going to get to some lovely Q&A stuff a lot of comments today without Andy we didn't feel like we could move on to two worlds collide

somebody did ask which I just think is a helpful question about how you always approach these Keith but in Get Out the music underneath someone said why does this music sound like a corporate video

but it is like that's just sort of library music right Yeah, it's just crappy library music And I don't know why we I have a feeling we were so rushed We found the first one that worked It made us giggle because it's so bad And we just left it

Yeah, that's my guess But let's actually talk about this keep Because we used it for years And even if this wasn't actually from this Talk about where you got the CDs Called WebClip Empire Like where did those actually come from? Yeah, well we've mentioned them a bunch of times

This one though I don't think was from that This one sounds more like God I'm blanking the name but there were those library of CDs that we used a lot, like it's the music from McGruber, all the McGruber sketches use it. It's Megatrachs, right? Megatracks, I think that's it. And so this sounds more like a megatracks to me where we would license it.

But there was this weird CD. We might have talked about this really early on. But we didn't talk about your dad giving it to you. Yeah, my dad got sent it for some reason because he worked in computers, and it was just for people building websites in the beginning of the internet where that was a thing where the amount of, like megabytes or kilobytes that it had to take up with so little

that this CD could have thousands of songs because they're so low quality and small. And thousands of those really whack sound effects like blinges, blinks, like the things that made up the very beginning of the internet. And we realized there were thousands of things and you could just look through these folders and it would be like

business songs. And it would be like spa songs. But by the way, like without fail, you throw a dart anywhere on those CDs. Fucking incredible. Yes. Every moment of it's a gold mine. But like those CDs were like fucking saxophone. So like body fusion, that's the music and body fusion. That's the music. Anything where it was dinky and crappy the entire time we were at S&L, those were what we were using. And you actually notice how low quality they are. Like when you really listen to them, you're like, oh, they break up. They're like they're fucking terrible. Yeah. That's part of the joy. Do you guys, I feel like this is a nice transition to the fact that our friend Fred Armisen has an album coming out this month called 100 sound effects. Did you know that?

I did, but I haven't. These are just some of the tracks. And by the way, like Fred said, like, I think Fred was a kind of kid who liked that back of the day there were albums that were just like sound effects. Oh, yeah, for sure. These are, these are some of the sound effects. Needle on record, drum sound check at medium-sized venue.

Guitar tuned, but still somehow out of tune. Does he talk on the tracks, too? Like, okay, here's the sound. Can you buy this on LP? I'm sure. Knowing Fred, yes. A record that you have to put on for it. What am I talking about, of course?

All right, here is a Romanian crowd at rock club shouting for an encore. Here's music venue employee kicking everyone out while throwing away bottles. If you are not with the fan. Please leave You're closed Out you go If you don't I like that you can also hear Fred at the background

Playing other roles He was also playing like someone Who's just having a small conversation off to the side Oh, this is my jam Like just I can't wait to get this When does this come out? This comes out September 26th So in two weeks

I would just like to turn everyone's attention to He was on Fallon and very much in this vein He did a bit where he sat at the drums And he did an impression of the drummer And Diana Ross's band Who had never heard the song I'm coming out before And had to learn it in real time

And it's just pure joy You can't believe And again, no one has made More consistently funny Small Observations in his career than Fred Armisen. It's so funny because, like, when you say observational comedy, like, that could be, like, the most broad thing ever.

Right. Yeah, that, you're right. That could be damning. But, like, Romanian club, like, just, oh, wow. Talk about detail work. Speaking of it, while we're talking about sound, Keeve, you were, let's be honest, you were up in arms about the poor sound quality of your voice note last week. Do you want to just address?

Yeah, and I saw the words. I did actually go into the comments on the YouTube to be like, Is anyone going to notice this? And people did. People were noticing things like the fact that I mentioned that a plane flew by. And I was like, oh, I'm going to get burned for that. And they're like, no one can hear that plane. Your entire audio sounds like it was recorded like on an old Nokia phone or something.

My audio was fine. I don't know if Jeff wants to come on here to defend himself. But it was so bad when I went back and listened that I was like, what happened? I recorded it on my iPhone. I went back and listened to the clip. It sounds indistinguishable from how we sound right now. It's perfect. And then I thought maybe they did it on purpose,

like that the editor of this podcast, that it was funny to make it degraded because it is kind of funny. Yeah. I can truly think of nothing worse for Akiva than having done something correctly with anything technical. And then... Having the rug pulled out, humiliated. This is his...

Jeff's not defending himself, so I don't know if he's on here. You can defend myself if he's on here. want. Oh, there it is. Okay, Jeff. Where were you again? I was visiting Portland and you texted me the voice note and I forwarded it to the editor over text message and somehow going over the cell phone network, it got degraded or compressed

or something like that and did not hear it until it was edited. Do you think this is a problem with Portland's infrastructure or is the editor on an Android and it went through SMS? I'm not going to blame the editor. I would never do that. Okay. I think it's probably just the. going over cell networks probably.

Gotcha. Okay. Well, this is a reminder. You really shouldn't leave the studio until the episodes are done. Yeah. Also, though, Andy, but Andy was thrilled.

I got to work in a midweek quibby for him. We have some comments that I'll just, it's weird not to have Andy here for these, but these are some comments from the YouTube page. All caps, period after each word. More, New, York, Times, games related comedy

shit we don't have our main guy though for that I know somebody else I like this phrasing this podcast has only one million times the word game content I require so they'd be fine with one million the amount yes but they also they said it in a real positive way which I kind of like hey here's one Yorm and I'm just gonna ask it

I have no idea is Yoram of the voice of the computer have you ever been the voice of a computer, Yorm? I can see Yorm's moving from a wheelchair back to the hospital bed and is nowhere near his microphone right now. That's true. In fact, there are people on screen that are not Yorma, which seems to be, yeah. And at a glance, he seems far from the computer in a way that his headphones aren't

on. You know, we're all learning in real time how to do a podcast with someone who is currently in the hospital. I like that it looks like a dolly shot because we must be on some sort of a wheeled table and it's getting moved around. We're getting like a very sick dolly shot of a hospital room. I don't know if you There's a little

There's some rumors now, Keeve Yeah Maybe Pam and Liam aren't the real thing How dare they? I agree I mean, I guess it's all speculation No one knows what people do Behind closed doors, right?

Exactly There's always been a lot of rumors about you and Alexi Like Wait, this is the first time hearing What are the rumors? Well, just like, is it just for publicity? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right

Like what's going on? You talk about it a lot on the show on your show, probably more than needed. Oh, you mean like it's a little awkward how often I'm like, my wife, that sort of thing? Yeah, yeah, it's like forcing it? You're selling it pretty hard, buddy. Yorm, we had a question for you while

we were getting that sick dolly shot of your hospital room. Oh, well, sorry, I had to transfer to my bed, guys. Here it is. Is Yorma, the voice of the computer and the Paul Rudd's celery man sketch from Tim and Eric Awesome Show, great job? No. All right.

Would have been pretty awesome if you had been. Yeah, that would have been good years. As we like to say in the Lonely Island, you would have been a real eagle-eared cherry. Oh, wow. That's a good one. That's when we were when we were asked what our things were, where we shared what righteous kill was. Eagle-eared cherry never made it. A real eagle-eared cherry.

Yeah, that and that is one. I guess we haven't given up all our tricks yet. I guess we still got a few left-de-burslees. He's a real eagle-eared cherry. I'm going to let you guess. I'm going to let you guess who came up with that phrase, though. Well, it's got to be you, Yoram. No fucking way.

Is it Andy? Yeah, Andy likes that kind of stuff to us. Oh, of course it's Andy. Oh, it's Andy. Yeah, he likes references. Oh, here you go, Yorm. Somebody said, Yorma's vest was totally fine. It was literally just a black vest. I was excited to see the reveal on Instagram, given how much you were making fun of him,

only to be disappointed to see a dude in a vest. With that in mind, I'd like to wish Yorm a speedy recovery as well as give my deepest apologies that it took him shattering his pelvis for me to defend him. And then PPS, RIPP, Frisbee, who wasn't that, ugly either. So kind of, I guess in the end, Frisbee was the Yorma's vest of dogs. Wait, was this person sitting on this whole time? You think they were maybe, yeah. They've been stewing. There's months, six months of thinking about the vest. It was like,

I have something to say now. Yeah, it's like, you know what? This is on me. Yeah. Maybe if I complimented the vest earlier, he would have been trying to prove himself up on that ladder. The problem with the, with the complimenting the vest thing is because you then said that Frisbee wasn't that ugly. And let me just. be any for a second I don't trust the first coming oh I do not like where this is going

yeah their credibility went right out the window yeah I'm just like oh okay I gotta burn that vest so a person with no taste

yeah a real a real mole-eyed cherry wow right at the top yep good

very good she's changed animals Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast comes from Airbnb. I stayed at an Airbnb once with my family in Pittsburgh. That's where my dad's from. We go back once a year. And it was incredible.

They had pictures of all the famous people, beautiful black and white photos of famous people from Pittsburgh. And my favorite thing about the weekend was looking at Mr. Rogers next to Wiz Khalifa. The thing I love about Airbnb is how it turns traveling to something more personal. You're not just visiting a city. You're staying in a space that feels you're. unique and lived in, and that makes the whole experience more memorable. And that's the other side of it, too. Your place gives someone else that same feeling. While you're away, your home doesn't have to sit empty. Hosting on Airbnb means someone gets a welcoming spot to stay, and you get the

benefit of putting your space to good use. I love trips where I've stayed at Airbnb, and sometimes I come home wanting to add touches that I saw in other people's homes because they brought character to a living space that I was envious of. Your home could be worth more than you think. Find out how much at Airbnb.com slash host.

about how maybe Travis, Kelsey, and Taylor Swift got engaged because Frisbee died. We got an email from the author of the article. Oh, good. Our favorite person. Yeah, his name is Stephen Douglas, and he wrote first, here's an article I wrote an essay. dot com about you trying to get them clips by connecting frisbee's death to travis and taylor's engagement so he gave us a click i mean what a nice guy but then but the next part is a back down to earth unfortunately for me it only did brenda and sean numbers damn i thought i was going to get

him fired almost and then there's more here because again he goes uh second i am a douglas last name who was called dougie back of the 90s since there were multiple kids in my class that shared my first name my cousin thought it would be a good nickname for me in elementary school it stuck with me for a while as it grew up, and every once in a while, in my hometown, I'll run into somebody who will break it out. I can deal with that, but hearing a Keeva and Andy joke about people saying Douglas was both hilarious and triggering, get well soon, Yorm. Thank you, Stephen, Doogie Douglas for trying to get us dim clicks. Doogie Douglas. Yes, thank you. That's so lovely. That's above and beyond. Really appreciate it.

It was that he used the word, didn't he use the word posit in his title? That's why, I mean, he's a good writer. Like podcasters posit that the death of dog Allowed for Carmic energy Whatever he did It made it loftier than it deserves In a good year. Big up that, Douglas.

Oh, here's one. Hey guys, Ian from Antwerp, Belgium here. So I've been bugging my Iraqi friend from work To have a listen to your podcast yesterday, finally caved and binged like six episodes in one go. Good news, you've got yourself a brand new fan of the pod. The bad news, was wondering why you guys kept repeating Kuwait army I guess look if you're from Iraq you're going to hear Kuwait army yeah that makes sense but so he just went into a random episode I do wonder if

someone hears this is good you don't go back to episode one yeah but you'll never catch up to knowing what the hell we're talking about which is interesting yeah it's a real mistake I wouldn't jump in midstream yeah for all the little but I understand if someone tells me an interesting like if someone says Amy's podcast is really good I look and I see like, well, what's something I'm interested in? I go, oh, look at that. Andy was on. I'll check that one.

I don't just go to the first episode and hit play. That's true. And I would imagine with us, you might say, oh, threw it on the ground. That's a great place to jump in. I'm sure it makes me. That's what I mean. You'll go dick in a box. I'm going to check out the dick and box, even though I will say a lot of what I would consider

more successful episodes of this are often about the ones that no one would remember. Yeah, I think that's true. It's a real strength of the podcast that we don't need a good show. short to make good content. I also will say I was trying to explain, or I mentioned to one of the physical therapists at the hospital that our listeners are called Quaid Army. And then it was so, like, to even get into why was so like, like, ah, this doesn't even matter. Like, I can't.

It just, it just seemed like a headache to try to describe what. And they're not going to get any enjoyment out of that story. Like, no. Okay. Do you remember Total Recall? It's like describing a dream you had or something. They're just going to go, I'm not... You don't even know what you're talking about as soon as you start.

I'm not interested in this series of nonsense. Oh, God, yeah, you're immediately... We were here for every building block, so it makes total sense. But you're right. If you have to start at level one and the first thing you say is, do you remember the movie, Total Recall? You've already lost the audience. You're done. Because the audience is like, wait, none of you were in that.

None of you had anything to do with it. Why are we talking about that movie? It's all confusing. Somebody said, when is Yorm? And again, I think, you know, our listeners know Yorm, you're pretty quick to make a shirt after your accident. Yep. When are you going to make a shirt that says broke-ass motherfucker? Oh.

Why? Because you broke-your-ass. Oh, broke-ass. Broke-ass motherfucker. So is it better? But I would say that a Yorma twist on it would be ass-broke motherfucker. Yeah. I would say, out of all four of us, I'm not like a big pun guy, right?

I don't know if any of us really are, right? And speaking of this... I'm going to say I probably am, and I don't want to just... I don't want to, like, take this moment to be a cool place. Well, to sort of go back on that, I was talking to my friend Jake recently, and he was saying that his wife, Gina,

was actually confused. They were talking about Big Pun, and she was like, oh, she had thought that he just made a lot of puns as a rapper. Big Punisher's nickname was Big Pun. Got it. Yeah, Big Pung. But I don't think it's because there's puns.

But you know what? His lyrics were humorous. You know, like he was one of those rappers. But he didn't use a lot of puns, though, too. He would have good punch lines. And so, but yeah, but I don't know if he did a lot of puns, but maybe. I don't think he was a big pun guy. A lot of rappers like to get into words that have double meanings, though.

Yeah, short answer is, I wouldn't make that fucking shirt. That seems low to me. I would never do that. Yeah, then fuck you. No, but thanks for writing in them. We have had a lot of people requesting merch, because obviously there is merch out there being made by third parties, and some people want the official ones,

which would go to Jacob's Ladder or whatever. it was called. We should do it. Yeah, it would be nice. We're going to, and again, I don't quite know why it's taken us so long, and the reality is it probably will continue to take longer. But there is some merch available right now. Jeff is looking into it, into making some official quite army stuff. Yeah, but Jeff's in Portland, and then he's going to, like, text the designs to somebody and it's going to come through all compressed. Can we send this out to the fans and be like, any idea that, like, rises through the ranks of whatever you guys want me to design as this shirt? Because I got nothing

at the time. I'm literally bedridden. These guys are watching. watching me. I'm in, I had to move from my wheelchair to a hospital bed just now. Like, I got nothing but time. So honestly, like, if anybody's like, if it's Quaid Army, if it's whatever. You're taking requests. Yeah, I'm taking requests. But it's got to be like one idea. I can't do like, you know. Well, and by the way, let's say you want some merch right now. And you're a little frustrated with how long it's taking us. I have some good news. We've talked about how the hot rod black leather outfit, although maybe that has that auction ended? Probably.

There's a buy-it-now item on eBay right now, Yorm. And for fans of yours, the fans of mine, I think it's really exciting. Yeah, hold on, I'm going to share screen again so you guys can see this. This is going to be embarrassing, whatever it is. No, it's pretty awesome. It's the shock of teeth. Oh, what the fuck? Gross.

Backup teeth number three. Oh, my God, it's the real, and it's the... Dude, I don't even have those. Of course you don't. And that's molds... Those are really good ones. That's molds of your real teeth, because the inside of those... No, but the ones I have...

aren't painted. Like, fuck, that's way better. We're going to send a link if anybody here is looking to spend $875 for Yormatakonis. On the grossest thing you could ever own. Backup Shaka teeth number three.

They're available. That feels a little personal to steal. It's weird because that is your real dental records. So I'm not saying anybody would do this, but if they wanted to, they could using that, the part that's molded your teeth, they could pour plaster or whatever you pour in.

make a perfect mold of your teeth like they would have at the orthodontist. Go commit a crime, use them to bite somebody to create teeth marks. Not anymore because I did Envisaline twice since these... Oh, so that's your alibi.

Yeah. Okay, so you can't frame Yorm with these. But there's another way you could use it, Yorm, because I feel like you could use these to do what Keev said and fake your own death. And then, you know what I mean? Throw these in, and then they would do the dental records

and they would, you know, say... Oh, yeah. You could start fresh. You could start fresh. Oh, yeah. God, I should have. I feel like I missed opportunity now that I could have spun this broken back thing. It should say in the notes on this eBay cannot be used to frame Yorma.

Yeah. Do not use for a crime. Buyer promises not to use for a crime. He has gotten invisaligned. These would be useless unless you're trying to frame him for a crime. Yeah. But if it's an old crime, a 2007 crime. Oh, that's right.

Cold case. Use this for a cold case crime. Hold on. Do you guys remember? Do you guys remember the movie The Town? Of course. Where there's a montage, I love this montage, where all of our main heroes that are bank robbers

have to scrub down their hair in a very sexy shower sequence of like Jeremy Renner and Ben Affleck and just like showing off the fucking pecks and the goods. And like it's a real watery, sexy scene. But the point of it is that they got scrubbed their body because they're going to go to barbershops buy a bunch of hair and then scatter the hair

all over the place to be like oh, there's DNA everywhere but it would be so much funnier if they had done teeth and they'd just like we need to get teeth teeth marks everywhere

use these fake dentures fake teeth and try to put bite marks and things and it's just then the scene is them just super brushing their teeth that's a scene I would watch

which doesn't really make sense I would watch that a lot less sexy but you know more detailed someone wrote hey I was listening in the new episode I heard in Airbnb

out in which Seth said that Andy and Akiva should turn their houses into Airbnb since they both have nice houses. But omitted Yorma's house. Why was that? Does Seth mean Yorma's house isn't nice or does you think that Yorma would never round out of his house? Well, now I would say the reason is it's a crime scene. It's an act of crime scene. Maybe because we live in L.A.,

you just think of that as a vacation spot? I don't know. I do. I do think of it as a place for a sweet vacay. My house is fine. I'm enjoying you going through these, Seth. This is not a comment on that. But at one point when we did Q&As, we had some audio clips directly from Quaid. We've got some.

We do. How do they submit those again? Let's just remind people how? Well, there's a place called speak pipe. And you can call in to speak pipe. Immediately sounded fake. Definitely sounds fake. It is.

It's called speak pipe. And as I'm doing this long ramp. How do the quads know to do that? Because I'm waiting right now for someone in the chat to tell me more. This is me trying to buy time. So the people that have already sent it have been sending it through this, but how did they know to do that? I think we've said it before on the pod. Oh, it's on the Instagram account.

Yeah, I think we've said. Speakpipe.com slash the Lonely Island. SpeakPipe. If you want to give us an audio note, an audio question. A sweet voicy. Jeff, do you have any voice notes that you could play us now? Hi, Lonely Island. My name is Morgan, and I'm a longtime fan from Minnesota.

A little while back, a few friends and I actually had a debate over whether our state's anthem would be Purple Rain by Prince or your song, I'm on a boat. And I was partial to I'm on a boat. But my real question is, if you were to make one of your albums into an Abba slash Mamma Mia type musical, which one would you choose and why? Thanks for the podcast. Have a great day. Bye. Thanks for the question. Yeah. I mean, it seems what would be your, what would be your Abba? She said Minnesota, right? So obviously Prince. But yeah, it would be hard to say I'm in a boat just because they're, you know, land of a thousand lakes or whatever they call themselves. Of course.

I would say pop star. That seems like it would be a great musical movie. Yeah. Well, that's true. That has a story. But Mamma Mia, to be clear, did not choose one AB album, right? Right. They were using the breath of the library.

Yeah. And I think that's what we do. Like Ann Juliet uses all those Max Martin produced songs, right? I don't want our caller or the person who asked the question to feel bad. I didn't know that. I wouldn't have, if you told me that it was one album, I would have been like, oh, okay. Do you think Anne Juliet was Yorm? Unreal.

Yeah. It makes it seem like I know about... Just like a jubox, it is fun to, like, take all... Because your songs are so specific, it'd be really funny to tell somebody like, write a Broadway musical that tells a story, but you can only use Lonely Island song. I feel like that's a great thing to just plop into chat, GPT.

Like, give it, like, 20 songs. Yeah, I guess it's different when it is, or all the works of Max Martin from, you know, Britney Spears and Backstreet and InSink, where those songs are more about feelings, so you can easily place them into a narrative of your choice, whereas ours, yeah, they might be a little distracting. But I don't want to let that discourage anyone from giving it a go.

Yeah. If somebody's, like, halfway down the road on this, like, don't stop just because of what we're saying. Well, I would say I would love, this is a genuine answer. like that I would actually love us to write a real musical, like just start from scratch. A book of Mormon, you're saying. Yeah, a book of Mormon, Lonely Island style, yes. I disagree, and I want somebody else to figure out, like, where, write a musical about, like, a couple falling in love, but then have to figure out, like, where does sushi glory hole fit in me?

Yeah, that's what I'm going on. Just like, I feel like it's a lot of characters who are in only one scene, they're like, hey, my brother Richie and his friend Todd. Like, what are you guys up to? We'll tell you. I just had Josh Gadd on the show, because you mentioned Book of Mormon, and it was one of those things I was saying to them, because I, you know, obviously two pretty obvious examples, but I feel like very lucky that I saw that and Hamilton with the original cast. Like, that was one of those, oh, wow, this is what it's like to live in New York City and see something at the right time. I also saw Book of Mormon with that original cast and had that same feeling, because I don't see very many things. I did not get to see the Hamilton original cast, but it was still excellent when I did.

I saw a Hamilton original but did not see the Josh Gad, unfortunately. I also was telling him I didn't see it right away. And by the time I saw Book of Mormon, my expectations, they had been set so high by other people that I went into it with this sort of cynical view that it couldn't possibly be as good as everybody said it was. And it was just as good, if not better than everybody said it was. It was so exciting. Yeah.

That's exactly how I felt about Hamilton, actually. Yeah. But Hamilton, I actually actively sort of wanted to hate because of my, love of hip-hop and then within one minute there's like maybe five references to like songs you wouldn't know unless you really loved hip-hop great where I was like oh dude this guy's great like in addition to like actually just being a fantastically written thing like he's a fan and he knows his shit and these are some pretty spicy takes are you sure you want to put these out publicly how good they are yeah now that I broke my back I'm just like I don't fucking care

Yeah. It's such a release for me. Well, you heard it here. These two guys liked Book of Mormon and liked Hamilton. Come at him. I feel like the minute Andy's gone, like there's just no chasing a dumb clicks. Yeah. This is like reverse.

Good luck, Stephen Douglas, writing your article about this one. I wonder if people pull the articles about me because of that last thing. They're like, you know what? It wasn't that interesting. Let's take that article about him bringing his back down. Here's one I'll throw out for Stephen. If they get married and Frisbee doesn't come back to life, is it true love? Oh.

You're saying the energy can go back to the void and go back to Frisbee. Wow. I'm just saying, like, if they really love each other, I feel like she should come back to life. I'm positing. Yeah, I'm positing. Thank you for using Mr. Douglas's language. Yes, Mr. Douglas. He taught us.

Look, he taught me how to speak. Support comes from Viori. Akiva here, everybody, to talk. about Viori. You know I always love talking about Viori. And today I've roped my wife, Liz, into this with me because she ordered some stuff from Viori and is very much enjoying it. How are you liking your stuff, Liz? It's the best. By the way, you're not roping me into it because I really truly love it because it is cute on the tennis corks. You know, I'm a U.S.TA tennis player. Okay. That's a lot of bragging. On a women's 40 and over team. And I'm a 4-0 player. So that's something. thing. So I'm looking real cute in my Viori tank that I got.

I'm in third grade. We have four cats, so Laser Cats is my other favorite. My question is, did you guys know the cat? And what did you do with the stuffed animal cats after you filmed? Also, my mom said Yoma broke his butt.

That's so sad. I hope he feels better. Okay, bye. Thank you for the energy. That's the flawless. I really just shot out of the speak pipe. Oh, wow. That was great.

What was their name? I don't know, but I liked that clearly they had sent in a previous voice note that I obviously don't remember hearing. Yeah, which I feel bad. We've had a child's voice note before. Yeah. But that one, I don't know if we had that energy before. I like the idea that that's the first time we heard somebody in immediately.

They were like, it's me again. I also love, I'm in third grade. You thought I was in medical school. Sike. I can answer the first part, Keevan, you can add on to it because I have two things to say about laser cats. One is partially laser cats was partially, in my mind,

based on me holding up our cat. It was Willie, right? My wife's right next to me here. Picking up Willie and cocking him like a shotgun and then pretending to shoot my wife with Willie. And I think I was making shotgun sounds. And then Willie and Cleo, where our two cats are actually the cats in the opening credits of layers of cats because I wanted to just, you know, give a little shout out to my cats. So they're the ones that are flying by when it says, when there was a nuclear war in the past, do like whatever.

Right. The photoshopped ones, you would take photos and cut them. And those are all pictures of my cats. And then you want to talk about the stuffed cats? Well, the rest of the real cats are brought in by animal wranglers because then we're in the real things. and it has to be approved by the, what is it, ASPCA? Yeah. Is that who?

Well, let's talk about the actual animal wrangling. Because when you say you have a trained cat, that's not a real thing. Like, you don't really train cats. They basically, like, put them down, and then they're like, come here, come here, come here, come here. And you're just like, this is not, this isn't working. This is just a fucking cat. Like, no, they're not doing anything. Like, did a cat ever do anything?

These were not Llewellyn Davis cats. No. Like, these were, like, just cats that were in a cage, and, like, you could pick them up and pet them, basically, but there was no, right? Yeah, they were just brought in, and then they went away, and then, yeah, but we didn't require much of them. And then the stuffed animals were props, and I'm assuming props just had to keep them. Where is it? These cats are other cats that Lauren fostered afterwards. I can't remember. Well, Lauren is a sucker. The animal angles are like, don't let Lauren see the animals, because he'll adopt them, because he just, it doesn't matter what it is.

He's like, oh. He says it too He's like, don't let me near them I can't go home with more cats Put that in my house Put that one in my house I want to see that one when I get home Wait, can I tell you actually though

The story that I love best About those stuffed cats in particular Was when we were shooting the We were shooting on the Dr. Oz set And it was It was Oh my God Who sings a candle in the wind?

It was Elton John Elton John Yeah Elton John That guy You are better with names Yeah I got way better with him so sir elton john is oh now now he's showing up sir elton john yeah okay oh he does he's really so sir elton is on the floor i can't remember what his character he was a bad guy

draws draws draws of course dr oz draws draws because we just were using their set so he said he was draws dros became draws so so draws has been is mortally wounded right he's covered in cats and at one point he we were about to shoot like coverage on him And he whispered something to me. And I said, what? And I lean closer to him. And he says, this is more pussy than I've ever seen in my life. And I was like, that's the fucking funniest thing I've ever heard.

So I was like, God, it made me, I was instantaneously, whatever his name is, fan for life. Whatever. You were his number one fan. What's that guy's name? You know he's been knighted, but you've been unsure about any other detail. Yeah. Yeah. I bet he's friends with the guy who wrote Spare.

The good thing is I feel like he could have also just said that joke about two cats. He might have seen that much. We don't know. Hey, because he said cats aren't trained well, again, just look it up. I've watched it a couple times. David Spade is on a talk show talking about how he had a conversation about trained animals with Christopher Wacken. And it's one of my favorite things because Spade tells a great walking story without really doing a big walk-in. It's a real, he doesn't press it, so it's not an impression-based story, but it's great

because it's walking talking about how dogs are great. You can't train cats and paraphrasing, but I think the last thing is him, he's like, you ever work with a trained mouse? And Spade's like, no, I never had it. He's like, they're good. I guess mice famously can be trained. They're in those mazes. They're going after cheese.

Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah. But that is the joy of Christopher Walkins. I feel like he's just like, you know, he's impressed. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? He sees a well-trained mouse, and he's like, well, you know, congratulations all around. He's got a sense of curiosity that is in all his roles.

Yeah. I remember the first time he was on SNL when I was there, not the first time he's on SNL. First time he was on when I was in the cast, everybody pitched in at the end. Lauren said, do you have anything, Christopher? He said, maybe something with bears. Bears are funny. And I was like, well, that's the gift right there. That's one I'll take with me the rest of my life.

God, I just love when your speech pattern, like, provides accidental or on-purpose punchlines all the time. Oh, her name is Edy. Edy. The voice note of the third grader, who is a badass, is Edy. Yeah. Eidie, please send in another voice note, too. Like, they're more than welcome. Yeah, Edy, we're waiting for another one.

But on the next one, Edy, our request, please act like you've never talked to us before. Yeah, I feel like we might, Yoram and I especially, maybe have been repeating ourselves today, and Andy is the best don't repeat cop. So, you know, his absence. Oh, he just wrote me. Oh, he sent me an audio file. Oh, he sent it to you too. This is definitely going to be about Queen Bee. Definitely. So this is, you guys, we just got a message from Andy. As I was talking about the value adds to the pod and making sure we don't repeat ourselves. Hey, it's Andy. What's up, guys? Sorry I couldn't be there. Just happened to work out that the only time Seth could do. of the entire week, which is a lot of hours, was the one time I couldn't. So it's his fault, but I did want to let everyone know that I just got Queen B. My last word was uncink, I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner. But I got there. Anyways, love you guys.

Oh, it's all positive. It wasn't all positive. He threw me under the bus. Well, in a positive way. It was truthful and positive. Yeah, well, it's positive for you. Positive for you, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right. Brevity, though. The guy knows how to fucking send a voice note. He also then, I just got a text from him, because I get my daily text from him when he gets it. And he wrote, Queen Bee Clean, voice note sent. Don't spoil it. Don't spoil it. Like, uh-oh, you got Queen B. I love that that was like a big reveal. Yeah. Wow. So we got it. So I guess the pod's over. Checking tomorrow. Well, actually, Jeff. Do we have any more voice notes?

Hello. I am getting married in the. end of October, and my lovely bride has allowed me to play one Lonely Island song during the wedding. So I wanted to get your opinion on which song that should be. So looking forward to hearing your response. Thank you. Bye-bye. Great question. It's the fun now, because again, you just get one. I wish he had given more details of the wedding. Like, is this, you know, what part of the country it's in? Daytime or nighttime. Right. A lot of kids. there. My wife's parents already don't like me. Yes, exactly. Children on the dance floor. Do we do a clean version? And the other thing is, are you trying to pick the best Lonely Island

song for a wedding, or are you trying to pick the funniest Lonely Island song at a wedding based on how inappropriate it is? Also, like, are people drunk? Is this going to be sandwiched between, like, you know, a Beyonce song and an album song? But if we go by what we assume every wedding is. And because I immediately actually get into like semi. I've never DJed before, but like I get immediately uncomfortable being like, oh, that's not going to work. The joke's not going to like play. That's not loud enough. So somewhere I actually just go to what's the best sounding song or that's the most fun to sing along to. And I probably would say boat. I think both too. Yeah. Unless are they going to do the thing where they leave for a little while

and we all assume because you know right after you get married then the photographer usually takes you off to take photos because you can't see right that's after the ceremony yeah and then that's when you might sneak in a quickie because it's the wedding day and you're supposed to have sex i guess and so then they could come back to i just had sex and really just own it that's great keve said i guess because he was married at city hall and so there was no yeah i've been to wedding though i just don't know what yeah yeah you assume though at a normal wedding people go off and have like bone and then come back i think they should they should too.

Oh, so now this is shifting. Because a lot of times there's even... At one point you're like, that's a tradition and now you're like, it's a suggestion. Because sometimes there's even a wardrobe change at a certain point when the party's going to kick into high gear at a certain point. And that's when, if you're going to take a clothes off,

might as well. Right. It can be a two-minute session. It's just for the point of like, we did it and we're going to be drunk later. I would say that that's a really nice thing to do because you kind of, a wedding... Also, it's your first time, so you're so nervous.

That's true. Yeah, exactly. We can enjoy the rest of the party. You think your first time takes two minutes, though, I feel like there's... You think it's much less? Well, because you're so nervous. Like, I would imagine there's much less.

No, I was going to say much more. I feel like nervous can break either way. Nervous can either be like, it's over like that, or it's just like goes, it's interminable. Yeah. Well, either way, I just think you want it out of the way so you can enjoy the rest of the night, not being like, oh, it's getting a little late. Also, not nervous about performance. You're just worried about running out of time. Yeah.

And just like how tired you're going to be. be like, it's 4 a.m. Yeah. And are you worried, I'd be honest, are you worried about you being too tired?

Are you worried about them being too tired? Uh, me, probably. Yeah, yeah, let's be honest. Yeah, you don't want to be in a situation. I'm sleeping and I had too much,

because also everyone wants to have a drink with you, it's your wedding, so then you're getting a little over-served. Yeah. And then all of a sudden it's going to be sloppy. Whereas if you just went and took all the photos, so everyone's leaving you alone anyways. Yeah.

And then everyone else is at the dinner having their opening cocktails and stuff. And then you guys just aren't there because you make that brand entrance, right? everyone cheers. So there's a built-in space. I think people should wait, and I assume people snuck one there. Yeah. So I just had sex is the choice. I think get it out of the way. Because nothing's worse. I think if your bride on the first night is like, should we get our quick eat? Like, at the end of the night, you're like, oh, I just ate so much cake. Like, I just feel like that's immediately. That's what I mean. It's gross. Yeah. And so this is,

this is better. But with that said, I still, I second Yorm. I think I'm on a boat is the best sort of dance floor. At 1.30 a.m. when it's just the drunk adult. now and you need somebody sing along to, yeah. Or I will just argue as well, like, I mean, again, if you can find the clean version, the best thing about I'm on a boat is it teaches everybody the one line that is said the most. So if you had like a seven-year-old on the dance floor,

by the end of the song, they're also going to be able to yell, I'm on a boat. That's true. The clean one you can find, sure. Yeah. I mean, it shouldn't probably be for the first dance, but it could be. Yeah.

I will say that the song I always wanted to actually genuinely take off, which somehow never did was we are a crap. I genuinely wanted that to become a thing that people shouted at sporting events. We are a crowd and we are loud. We're cheering at a group at our favorite event. Somehow it didn't take off. If somebody's last name, if the bride of the group's last name was boat, I also think I'm in a boat would like serve both purposes of both.

I just had sex and I'm on a boat. Or they could change their last name to boat and then winner. So that would be helpful too. All right, Jeff, play another one. Hey, a few months ago, I sent a DM about how I was having unexplicable romantic dreams about Yorma. I'm a lesbian and I have a partner and a baby and it was very out of character of me. They're not sexual dreams. They're just romantic.

But I recently realized that I think it's because he played that weirdo artist in girls. And when I was coming out to my friends, one of my friends said, you know how I know you're gay. It's because you cite your celebrity crush as that weirder artist from girls. Anyway, that's all. Okay. Oh, my God. You think being attracted to Jonathan Booth as a woman makes...

Isn't it Booth Jonathan? I thought it's Booth Jonathan, right? Yeah, with Jonathan. Which, by the way, the original name of the character was Jonathan Booth, and then they were like, how can we make this more pretentious? And then they just flipped the name. I'm so flattered by that comment. And then also, I don't know how to feel, I guess.

well i'm also curious what the romance is because she said it's not sexual it's romantic and i want to know where that line is just personally uh it would just help me in my life to know where the where that line is like what kind of stuff are you doing like you're eating but if it's not sexual does i mean there's not even kissing it's just like holding hands watching a movie yeah i think it's like just like holding hands walking around or something or like having a nice meal or you're on like a a little boat ride or something you're like pedaling the swan boats in Central Park. I also like, there is something of,

because again, like, Booth Jonathan is such a piece of shit that if you have a romantic dreams about him, like I do, I think like you wake up, you're like, oh my God, I'm a lesbian. Like there's, I've known all this time and that was the dream that kind of shook it loose. A dream about me can reconfirm your,

you're like, oh, I'm definitely a lesbian. Someone has a crush on you, a man, and goes, yep, that confirms it. I will say, I think I read that comment, and I apologize for not reading it, it, but it was way better to hear you say it out loud. Way better. So thank you.

Thank you for calling it and leaving it on the old speakpipe. Another one? What do you got, Jeff? One more. Should we do one more? I like hearing them. Like hearing the quids. Hi, Lonely Island Pod.

This is the story of how Frisbee saved me from crashing my car on a rainy highway last year. In late December, my beloved 15-and-a-half-year-old Lassa-Apsodoxone mix left this mortal plane. And in my deepest sorrow, Frisbee, Seth, and the last night. lonely island were there to pull me out of the literal depths of despair at the perfect time. Walter looked like an elderly man, even as a puppy, crossed with a teddy bear and master splinter from teenage mutant ninja turtles. He was basically a human soul in a little furry dog suit, and I loved him nearly as much as my actual human children. The rainy night I headed to the animal hospital to pick up Walter's remains, I could not stop crying. Sobbing and driving is hardly

ideal or safe, so I turned on episode 41, listener Q&A, episode three, to try and pull myself together. I went into the animal hospital, thanked the kind staff, and left with my now incinerated dog. I got back in the car with a tin of my dog's ashes and a clay paw print, crying significantly harder. With what was left of Walter riding shotgun, I turned the podcast back on, only for it to start up again at the most serendipitous question. Does Amher? Andy still hate Frisbee? Before I knew it, Seth was retelling his fantasy of sending Frisbee's bones to Andy after her death and an audience member asking, how will you get the bones?

Having held my dog as the vet administered euthanasia meds just weeks prior, which was in fact super sad, as noted on the pod, my hysterical tears turned into audible laughter as Seth imagined asking his vet for Frisbee's bones mid-procedure. The universe knew I needed to get a grip so as not to crash my car on a rainy highway and sent me imagery of Seth giggling while

boxing up Frisbee's bones to mail to Andy at the most opportune moment. Now, almost eight months without Walter, I tear up regularly and can pull myself out of it by thinking, how will you get the bones? I'm so sorry for Sets

lots of Frisbee and delighted for Andy, I guess. If Frisbee didn't pass on to the nether world from when she came, I hope she and Walter are together at the big dog park in the sky. With my eternal gratitude. Wow.

God, Maura. That's no notes on that one. That was well written. Well told. I definitely got a little teary. It was really lovely. Thank you for sharing.

And I don't know. I feel like we should just get out while the getting's good. That was a perfect way to end it. It was very nice. And we'll have Andy back next time if his schedule aligns. And then we will talk about Two Worlds Collide.

And I love you guys. Love he said. Love you. He's not here today. So later, Arnold. Later, Quaid's.
