The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast - Listener Q&A Episode 8

Episode Date: December 9, 2025

Seth is gone! He’s in Foggy London Town hanging out with Graham Norton. So the guys are answering some Q&As from the QA. First and foremost, Jorm is NOT faking his accident! It’s totally real. Just because he got up on stage and danced as Pee-Wee Herman does not mean he did not have a life-threatening accident mere months ago that could have paralyzed him for life. He just has an amazing doctor. You remember him? This episode has a lot going on, lots of fun stories and questions, cool idioms, and Andy gives you some of his Spelling Bee hints (are you listening, New York Times Games??). You’re going to enjoy it… we guarantee it! Also, the guys are definitely Winter Soldiers, so don’t say the secret phrase. They need their sleep. Portugal.

It's the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast. All right, show of hands, whose Christmas tree is up. You're noticing no one's hand went up. Yeah, nobody. Liz just, who's doing it downstairs. That's why I thought of it. Oh, pictures for proof. You got to give us proof, Keith.

Oh, my God, yes. Pictures for Perth. Also, Keeve, we were texting. You, me and Andy were texting, and we talked about you sending a picture of you shirtless. You never did. Yeah, you never said to. That is weird. To prove that I was all mammal.

Yes. Not my words. That's right. You and Redman, we want to know. Lift up my shirt, all mammal. You know, everybody knows that reference on our pod, right? Yeah. Have we talked about it before?

Why is that my favorite line of all time? And then Yoram, you also love it. That's fucking great. It's just a very, it's very good, but it's, is it also just because you're a human, you're obviously a mammal, taking off your shirt, proves it more? Well, no, because that's, where your nipples are, and that's where you would breast me. I'm just like, if he's sick or he lifted up his shirt and he was amphibian, you know?

Yeah. If he was kind of like in a water world sit with gills or something on his neck. Wait, what a, what a amphibians have this? So they don't have anything, right? They don't have nipples, certainly, right? Do amphibians have nipples? No, I don't believe they do. Because they don't do any breast stuff.

Listen, whenever we get into things that are just science backed, we get clowned in the comments. So let's just. No, Sats not here. As soon as we get into talking about science, you know Sets not here. Yeah, well, he's anti-science kind of flat-earther type. Yeah. Anybody who's watched his nightly talk show knows that. And Keeve, pun unintended, that's on God.

Right. And that's on God. Yeah, that's just something I say. It's not because of what you were talking about. So Yorm had a big, has something that needs to be addressed because there's been a lot of chatter that he's been faking the whole thing. I did, I did see that, that there were some people coming out on Eric Andre's side of things, that I was maybe a fucking goldbricker, as they would say. I'm Big Babowski. Uh-huh.

You care to elaborate? What are you trying to get just because you get off on the sympathy? First of all, I did fall off a ladder, and I did break my pelvis, you guys. So that guy, that doctor you did the whole thing with was a paid actor? No. That was my actual surgeon. You know you're in good shape when you have to clarify that you didn't lie about that. You guys.

But it's maybe speaking to something bigger, Yorm, which is like, I don't want to call it like an intervention that me and Keeve need to do. But, like, perhaps the way your lifestyle is now being conducted is antithetical to the amount of sympathy you have garnered for your injury, which is clearly fake. I don't know why I thought this was going to not leak out. He's getting on stage and singing, rage against the machine. Dress like bewee? All right. So, let's just back up a little bit. So for those that have no clue what we're talking about, you can Google, it's on, you know, Rolling,

dot com, et cetera, anywhere on Instagram, et cetera. You know what, The Rolling Stone used to be a magazine. All right, go on. Oh, I met Rolling Stone Bands, Instagram. Oh, it's just, it's on their merch page. Yeah.

Keith, uh, weird. Keith is the one that wrote the post. He signs him if he writes the post. He's always shit posting. He's like, he's like, bro's. Yeah, he's like, yeah, he loves shit posting. Oh, Keith loves it. Him and Johnny were, you know,

Dap, of course. Anyways, listen. Back to trying to explain to nobody knows what we're talking about yet. Portugal the Man, which is a band, had a show in Brooklyn. And Yoram got on stage. Well, I was asked to do this. I didn't just like do it on my own accord. Yeah, we'll back up to that.

But just to give the what the audience saw, they watched an entire show. It's towards the end. Weird Al is there and has done something. I don't even know because the video just has him in the background. He sang Live in the moment. He did like, he's done remixes of... Portugal The Man is not a joke band, by the way. They're not a spoof band.

They're a real band. but just clarifying that because it seems like we're in some sort of like I did a song called Feel It Still which my brother produced Yeah it was a big hit

That's the one that goes How does it go in? It would be so funny If we sang it And then they sued us Hit me with the chorus though I'm a lover I'm a lover just for kicks men

I'm not to take the six men Yeah that one Okay Kind of said all the sound I don't feel it's still What I'm pretty good Anyway Yorm did the low version

at the end probably. Yeah, well, yeah, I thought we're going to do it together. Yeah, sort of resolved. Yorm got on stage towards the end of the concert, dressed fully as Pee-E-Herman, doing it a pee-wee impression, did a speech a little bit, just talked to the audience as Pee-Ewey.

Yeah, I came out and kind of talked like this for a second. I think people are really into it because people love seeing comedy at rock shows. Especially when it's got no connection to the band or explanation. Were you introduced? No, because backstage, We didn't work out how I was going to come out on stage.

So I just came out and was like, Well, that's incredible, huh? What are you going to pick at Portland? I can't hear you. So just the weirdest thing. I mean, it is a good peewee. I'll give you that. Oh, hi.

Sorry. Hi. You're right? Got a little. I got... Yorm, I don't know who that is, but you have to shut them up. You have to shut them up. This is a professional.

We're recording the podcast, the most important thing in our lives. You think on armchair expert, Dax is... kid just comes out and starts yapping? No. He goes, no, he snaps at them. Shut the fucker! Jeff, you do armchair expert, right? Jeff?

Not directly, but I'm familiar. Oh, I thought your company does? Rob does. Rob does. Rob does the other, Jeff and Rob, there's two of them over there, and Rob does it. Touch the nerve! He's like, oh, Rob got that one, and I got this stinky piece of shit. Oh, that's Rob.

I got this fucking... Unlike some people, he's willing to have guests and be on kids. Dax, so we got this other pod, me or Rob are going to have to jump off. Rob was thinking maybe he'd jump off. Oh, you want me to jump off? No, that's fine. It was a flip of a coin anyways. It was just I live closer to...

No, Dax? Oh, that's cool. That's cool. That's cool. Was that it, Jeff? Pretty close, yeah. No, no, no, no, that's good, though. You take that one. You take that one.

You take that one. You take that one. You take that one. You take that one. Oh, the one that has like Brad Pitt and Shell Obama coming on. No, no, no, no. I'll do the one where they get voice notes. Yeah, from Rob Klein and John Solomon.

the best writers ever. I love you guys. Don't let anyone ever disparage you. You're a lucky man, Jeff. I'm happy to be here. Oh, boy. Anyways, but then to make it weirder, so Yorm's up there,

he's doing this whole comedy speech. Yeah. And mostly improvving. I tried to keep it tight. I tried to keep it tight. I tried to keep it tight. I knew people were, like, probably questioning what was going on.

And then the band comes on and starts playing, killing in the name of. Well, no, we threw to it. We did throw to what we said, you know, like, maybe we could do one last song for you guys and then we and here's the thing John had said

this lead singer Portugal that said it might be fun if we did rage against the machine killing in the name and then we were like oh he was like no but we don't need to and then as soon as I was doing like the peewee impression to myself just being like what am I going to say I was like oh man it's pretty it's already weird that I'm coming out I think we got to go even weirder it's a nice transition because well you know what my fear was

you know, and I could see everyone's revving up to play. Yes. And I was like, oh, no, they're going to push them on stage. No, I thought they were going to play tequila, and you were going to start doing the pee wreaths. Oh, it was so much better. And I was like, and I was like, if he starts doing the pee dance, he needs to be like a werewolf when there's a full moon. Yeah.

Like locked in the cage. Yeah, in the straight jacket. I did do a tiny bit of it, but I didn't do any, like, feet movement. But yes, it was a, but regardless, it was a strong choice of 10 days post being able to walk on two feet for the first time in three months to go dressed up as peewee and do that and play like a pretty raucous rock show. Yeah, not to overstate it,

but like just thinking about you getting into the clothes makes me nervous still. Yeah, I'd say that was the most nerve-wracking part. And then I had like visions of being like, there's cables on the floor. Well, no, the most nerve-wracking part is the getting on stage and dancing to a rage against the machine song.

Yeah. That's the most nerve-wracking part. He's singing and not being like everything in your body being like stage dive, stage dive, and then I got a mosh, but then I'm not doing it. It's really cute and adorable and you're very cute and it's very funny, but also like it does seem insane. I agree, I agree. No, we're going to do an intervention.

I do feel like you're sidestepping it. We are going to chain you up after 8 p.m. when everyone goes to sleep. How are you, Keith? That is pretty good. Thank you. All right. Well, I guess I'll start writing your eulogy. Now, we're not really going to watch this whole thing, but Andy hasn't seen this.

part of the thing, so I'm just going to play it. That's right. It's me. Mr. Peeley, her, that. Yeah, that peewee. I got a question for you, Brooklyn. What do you think of Portugal, man, huh? Yeah.

So when I saw this video for the first time, too, with no explanation, you just see Weird Al back here just, like, hanging out. It just was. You're like, what kind of show is this? Yeah, I'm like, where's Yorm's catheter or glossomy bag or whatever? Exactly. Where is he hiding it in the suit? Yeah, this guy's about to shit his pants, and no one knows it.

That's not part of the bit. I'm not in Continent, you guys. Actually, I really can't hear you. So I got to just hold on. I got to tell you my hair there. It was a little whack. Okay, so you're doing a bunch of pee-wee, and then I'm going to get into the song for now. So I was kind of thinking, maybe we could just say.

Sing one more son? It's a good view here. You guys ready? Johnny, ready? Oh, you're ready. All right, well, let's do it, huh? One and a two and a one, deep, third. One, go, hey, one.

Can we stop? It is so surprising. It's not your fault, Yoram, but it was funny that you said, a one, a two, a one, two. a one two three four pause and then he goes one two three four and the real guy had to do it i didn't have the right tempo i didn't have the right tempo i guess what we didn't work out any of this i know that's why i'm saying it's funny i'm not blaming you it's just objectively funny a nice nice detail nice detail work you're already moving way too much for my care yes my liking i should i mean i don't disagree yeah you're definitely moving your feet by the way yeah you're

dancing. I was allowed to. My doctor said I could. Bending at the waist. Yeah. I went a little harder later, too. Boy, oh boy. Well, okay, so the other part that I really enjoyed about this is that our friend Keith Murray, who is in a band called We Are Scientists, Keith did a music video for them many years ago. Three, I think. Three? I was three. Three? I was three. I'm a better friend. I knew was three. Yeah. Thank you. It was two, but I didn't know. But Keith came and he, I gave my phone before I went on. I was like, hey, I'm going to get to do a little bit on stage. He's like, what are you going to do? I was like, just watch

it. And then afterwards he was like, that was so much weirder than I expected it to be. He was just like, I can't believe you made me film it because he was like, I just wanted to experience. He was shooting this video. He did a really good job. Yeah. Well, great job, Yoram. I'm glad you didn't have to go

to the hospital. Yeah. Apologies to all the people that were concerned, including my wife and you guys. And But, you know, sometimes you just got to make choices, you know, or bad choices. And so how did you feel after? I felt like I was, oh, God, what age would I say? I was 65, 70 when I was, like, hobbling my way into the Uber. But you didn't feel like you had done any lasting damage in any way.

No, no, no. All of the stuff that I'm doing now is like, it's just that a day later, I'm very, very sore. I don't feel like I'm doing any, like, actual damage. It's just that I'm extremely weak. I do like imagining you checking in with your doctor and your PT and you're like, all right, so you're four months in your recovery. That means you can do light walks around the neighborhood. You can stand up, walk around your apartment.

You could do killing in the name of with Portugal the Man and Weird Al, if you want, as Peeby Herman, of course. It would have to be that. Otherwise, it's not safe. Yeah. Do not do the tequila dance. You can do rage, but not do tequila. Okay.

No tiby toads. Because we all know, once you start, you'll go on those toes. And your toes are not ready. All right. Well, I guess we're, that sounds like a broken record, but I'm glad you're okay. Yep. You got it, guys. No worries.

Here's my advice. Keep pushing it. You'll never know where the line is to you step over it. No, I'm fine, guys. Don't worry. Yeah. Don't do what I just said is the point. I'll try not to.

Yeah. No, no, I'm figuring it out. All right. Well, so Seth, was so... Seth was kind enough to bail and go to Europe. Yeah, so Seth is in Europe.

He's in London, Foggy London Town. He just did the Graham Norton show, which is always great when you see clips. He did it with Andy's co-star, Kate Winslet. Yeah, some would say my best friend.

I think she would say that. Yeah, why don't we get a voice note from her real quick, Andy? You say, hey, just send her one, explain what the podcast is. Yeah. You don't think she listens every week. I mean, as best friends,

she's aware, but I think I'm probably just like hit up her assistant about that. Okay Maybe hit the pub Hit the publicist I don't want to bug her You know I just want to bug her right now

You know She's like pretty into it I could She goes pretty in depth on set And I know she's shooting She's pretty much shooting 24-7 So Can you not find it on YouTube

Already? Has it aired? No He's on today So it might not have even Oh it hasn't happened yet I was just curious If there's somewhere

Where you can actually Just watch Graham Norton episodes here Maybe Brit Box? I don't know. Maybe they want to send us some free stuff. I'm just curious if there's a place in L.A. where that I can go and just let my hair down and be myself for once. Wow. Do you feel judged when you go out? Do you feel judged when you go out, Andy?

Huh? No. Dude. Is that why your hair is always up? Yeah, I'm always putting my hair up in a tight bun. I don't feel comfortable. I told you guys. I don't feel comfortable here. Why don't you just let your hair down, Andy? I can't do it here. That's why it's in a barn.

So I got let my hair down. Anyway, I think that's a good episode. Should we cap it? I think that was a pretty good app. Later, Arnold. Later, wait, no, I say that. Okay, so here's some of the things that he sent me notes on. One, circling back to the New York Times games.

We're not calling for Jack Black yet for you, Andy, because we need to keep our listeners. Are these Seth cheat codes about what we're supposed to talk about? Because we're children? Yeah, well, no, it was helping me out. Listen. No, we're clearly all very responsible. Yeah, cool. Okay, go ahead, Keeve.

A little teaser, stay tuned because we will be revealing if Andy got Spelling Bee today or not. I won't give anything away. So stay tuned. Spanograms in strands, the New York Times game strands this week. Oh, yeah. When we were together, Andy, you were like, look at this. It was like a boss. That's right.

The Spangram. Now, Seth points out in the opposite direction was a few days previous. the spelling bee wouldn't accept doyink. Yeah, so that is a counterpoint. That is a counterpoint. Yeah, so I guess I don't like us. But I was the clue in the main crossword also last week. Yes, and was it, that was the Sandberg of Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

No, that was the mini, but I have been in it twice recently. This is all just to the conspiracy theory that they're talking to us. Right, the November 16th mini was two clues in a row. One was Sandberg of Brooklyn Nine-nine. Yeah. And then the very next clue was, See what I did there? It was blank what I did there for the word C.

It's a conversation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What if they do start actually communicating to us through the puzzle? It's more like, kill yourselves. Yeah, it's to kill something. Kill yourselves. That's what we're sleeper cells for. They're finally going to act.

They've done years of brainwashing on a high level. We don't realize that we've been, and then they're going to finally trigger the sleeper cells just for us to just. Oh, fair. Just jump off a bridge. Yeah, that doesn't see. really worth it. It's a lot of work. It's usually for something bigger if you watch mentoring Canada Bay or telephone. Yeah. They sleep or sell us to then just like

walking a little circle in the corner. For real, though, I always do think we're like winter soldiers or something, the three of us. Say more about that. It's just like we're like Sebastian or Chris Evans and we're like, we're like mussely and handsome. Right. I'm always like, why we're not using these muscles for anything? Are we sleeper cells? Are we winter soldiers? Oh, I see. We're like post serum wimps. Yeah, well, the, Winter soldiers are like this, right? Someone calls and reads us like an Edgar Allan Poe poem on the phone

and we're triggered into action. We don't even know what we're doing. We're like, uh-oh, activated. It would make sense why we're also sure at it. We're not even going to know when it happens because it's just going to be like the eagle flies in moonlight and then one of us is going to fucking do something nuts.

We do shit crazy. And then we get back together and we're having like our mojitos and we're like, oh my God, we're such super soldiers. We're such winter soldiers. Oh, my God. I'm such winter soldiers. God, it's the season.

Oh, my God, I can tell I'm a winter soldier. I woke up with, like, bloody, my God. Just looking in a mirror, I can tell him the total winter soldier. Should we get some apps? Do you ever wake up in the morning and you're like, what did I even do last night? Oh, I'm such a winter soldier. I know it. I need to be locked up like Yorma because after 8 p.m., it's like I'm so tired when I wake up.

I know I must have done something. God, I probably assassinated someone. It like bruises all over my shoulders and chest. I can't remember anything. Like, uh-oh, I winter soldiered again last night. Should we get some apps? At brunch, if you catch the three of us at brunch, we're fucking so tired and we don't know why.

And we're complaining about our bodies hurting. Our cut buddies. Yeah, sure. Some people could say it's just because you're getting old or you shattered your, exploded your pelvis. But it feels extreme. No, but it's definitely not that. It definitely is.

I can't remember the fall that well. Because we used to go to brunch and feel fine. And now when we're at brunch, we're like, we feel like shit. And it's like, we were winter soldiering at night, for sure. You had the latter fall incepted winter soldier. Yeah, they had to give him a reason. They're like, oh, fuck, he really fucked up himself on his winter soldier thing. He's remembering something.

We got to implant some other memory in here. Make it something normal, regular, but, you know, a little offbeat. Anyways, so then, Andy, you're saying there was also in the New York Times, main crossword that you did show us. I just don't know what day was. Another clue. Yeah. And it was another one where the answer was Andy, but it was, I was very proud, by the way. It was Griffith, Kaufman and Samberg of television. And I was like, damn, that's pretty good company. I just like the phrase like televisions, right? Like your televisions, like television owns you. Yeah, you're the Mount Rushmore of television andies. Yeah. You know who was pissed about that.

Andy Dick. Cohen. Oh, Cohen. Yeah. Well, he's got his own thing. He's doing. I'm fine. He's also of television. Yeah, he would have fit right in. But I guess the other ones that I mentioned were all on sitcoms. That is more in common.

Yeah. Beloved classic sitcoms, I guess you could say. I wouldn't. No, you're not that guy. Three equally good and beloved sitcoms that will stand the test of time in equal amount. You would say. Where did the Andy Griffith show take place? Wasn't that what the name of the Andy?

Bro, that shit was on Mars, brother. Oh, shit. Shots fired. Do we got to get a voice? voice note from Andy Griffith. See if he was insulted by that. Oh, Keeve. Oh, oh. No, he's fine. Oh, yeah. It was in Mayberry. Got the cable hooked up. All channels. All right. Anyway. Lived up my shirt. Oh, Mammal. Got that cable hooked up. Oh, my God. What a fucking genius.

Shout out, Red Man, man. I fucking love that, dude. Those were the funniest, legit albums. Funny on purpose. Oh, my God. The best. from Airbnb. Now, it's just past Thanksgiving here, and grandma and grandpa, my in-laws, were just in town, but because we don't have room in our house, they used Airbnb to find a house to stay at. Now, you both visited it. It was nearby. What was some of the great parts about it that was different from if you were visiting them at a hotel? They had a very nice private outdoor patio, and on the inside, they had, like, their own TV, many rooms. They had the kitchen, they had their own living room, they had their own bedroom, and they had, I think, maybe an extra room.

I didn't see it. What about bathrooms? What was the bathroom situation? Well, very nice and private. But what I really liked was just how much extra space and how we had, like, like, privacy. So when I visited them, I didn't have to worry about, like, being too loud. I could, like, go crazy and there. You also get a skip the receptionist at the beginning to say,

oh, our grandparents are staying here. We are here to visit them. You just skip that whole process and you're just going to knock on the door and go right in. What about the kitchen? It's so nice because hotels don't have kitchens. Yeah, I had a nicely working refrigerator sink. There were already plates and bowls there. So when I got there, I ate some fresh blueberries.

Now, what would you think of next time we were using Airbnb to find a house? and then we wanted to offset that money by letting people use our house for Airbnb. We actually have some friends who do that. They have a nice house in Lake Arrowhead, and they only go there every now and then, so they let people stay there, and it's right by the lake. A little extra of pocket money for. What do I use my pocket money for? Snacks.

You guys, I have been wearing the Sunday performance joggers, which I'm wearing right now. I just wore them to PT because I am actually telling the truth when I say that I was in an accident. but it's been fantastic because I do a lot of stretching. They are so great.

They wick moisture and the fabric is so comfortable. They have five functional pockets, three with zippers to keep things safe, which is great because I put a rock from my daughter in one of them. Not what you usually think of when you think of exercise pants, but that's what is in one of my pockets, is a rock. And now that it is getting cold out, I am wearing the beach fleece crew. I did not think of myself as a fleece person, but it's ideal to wear is the weather starts to get chilly, and it is cold in Brooklyn right now.

And it is even made from 71% recycled fabrics. I don't know how they did the extra 1% there on figuring that out, but they did. For our listeners, Viori is offering 20% off of your first purchase.

Keeve said Groundhog Day, oh, I don't know if this came from Seth or from a comment, but said Groundhog Day should have swept the Oscars. Knowing that Schindler's list won Beck's picture, do you stand by that? Were they the same year? I think that's what it's implying. Because they know you're not going to go against your boy, Liam.

So Groundhog Day didn't win because Schindler's listed. And do I stand by that when I said that Groundhaw Day should have one whatever year was. Liam's going to hear this. Do you? Yeah, I do. I mean, I can tell you there's one of those two movies that I enjoy re-watching. Yeah, I don't even want to get into it.

It's Schindler's list. Exactly. A quarter of me is not allowed to make that joke, you guys. All right, here's a little bit of trivia. You know we love our bar nights, right? Groundhog Day won a BAFTA. What was the category? date one of BAFTA, best musical, best bath, yeah, best bath.

And, of course, in England, bath is slang for... Bath, go take a bath. And he famously takes a bath. It's Cockney for Bath. Yeah. One of the days that is just, he goes, fuck it, I'm just going to stay in the bath all day. That was like one of the thousands of days he lives. Exactly.

And that was the best one. You know, remember in LockSock, I could do smoking barrels where he's like, I'm going to kill you in the bath. Yeah. Anyway, so sorry. It won a BAFTA and the category we're supposed to guess what it was for. Yeah, this is just a quiz that Seth sit up for us. I'm going to say comedy.

Screenplay. Correct. Best screenplay original. Yeah, I got it right and Yorm was wrong. Fuck. Which it definitely deserved. Is there a comedy category in BAFTA, though? I don't know if there is.

I don't know. Well, maybe there is. There might be like comedy show or something. It's probably pretty dry and sarcastic, am I right? That British wit. Does it translate, Andy? It depends on the audience. Huh.

Great answer. I answered earnestly. Do you feel like in England, the comedy category is called drama as a dry joke? Oh, yeah. Probably. That's probably what it is. It's like drama. It's like, oh, drama.

But like, if you saw my face, I was like putting my hand behind my neck. Yeah, you feel like your eyebrows went up. Looking around, like, we all know. It's actually comedy. And they're like, all right, now for drama. I really wish people could see your face because you're doing a very good sarcastic English person. No, they'll never see it, though. All right, listen, guys, here's another quiz.

Someone commented about the video episode. This is the episode about the Yorms Doctor. Okay. So glad we finally got video, and Seth went full beige. He was just floating eyeballs and teeth, which is true, if you look, he had a beige background and a beige sweater on, and so it was just... Eyeballs and teeth.

Now, can you guess what the next... This is the quiz part. What the next six comments were after that comment? My beige? No. Alex beige? No. Damn it.

It's a reference. I'm going to start giving you clues. It's a reference to something about Seth's appearance that was said on this podcast. Oh, well, yeah. His name's teeth. Seth has teeth. Oh, Seth has teeth. That's how Yorne remembers him.

I said it, and I couldn't even remember it. Somebody was asking for an update on the progress to the Jeremy Allen Whitebod, Yom. That's kind of a can of worms. Well, let me tell you, this winter soldier, it's summertime for this winter soldier. Yeah, it's summertime. He's the reverse of a much. He packs on the pounds. Got a summertime bind on this winter soldier.

Yeah. Oh, my God. Winter soldiers in the summer get all flabby. Let's just say I'm a little more bucky right now. Yeah. Yeah. No. It's not going good?

Okay. This is the short answer. Yep. Seth got to ask this question and then wrote a reply that he asked me to read on his behalf. So the question was, did Seth record the intro from a closet? So this is in the video one, he had a, at the last minute, I think I request. I was like, you should tell the audience on audio that this is available on video

so they know they can go see it. And so he tacked it on from his iPhone. It's a long answer. I'm going to read this on his behalf. No, but I recorded it. Okay. No, but I recorded it on my phone because fucking Jeff said,

hey, can one of you do an intro where you tell people we have video for this episode? And I knew right away that it would have to be me. So yeah, I banged it out quick and with bad quality. It was either that or wait for Andy to find the fuck Graham and Strand job or whatever the new game he's playing. And we all know that wasn't going to happen.

Deflecting, blaming it on others. That seems crazy. Classic narcissist behavior. Again, that was not me. That was Seth. Yeah. Keeve, Mary fuck or kill. Winter Soldier, noodle arms before the serum, Captain America, or a super hot lady.

Okay. I mean, obviously, you want to fuck the little skinny, skinny bucky. Thank you. I was hoping you were going to say that. My money so far. So you can feel powerful. Yeah, yeah. And you want to marry the strong one so he can protect you.

Oh, okay. You're going to kill the hot lady? What did she ever do? Okay. Just as the answer. Do we just want to keep doing Q&As or do we want to go to the cherry battle? You know what I, in the text chain. made it very clear what I wanted to do.

I love Q&As, because I just love the audience. I love you guys so much. These guys, who knows what they like, but me, love you guys. Do you like when people say, like, it's not pandering, Andy, because it's true. When they're going to do and ask me anything, they go, so give us your cues, and I'm going to try to do some A's. Do you like when they, like, play with the Q&A? Oh, man, it's so funny.

Yeah, that's very funny. Well, are there other good cues, I guess, is the question? We've got cues. We've got some cues. I've got... Did Dad send us some cues? No, Jeff sent me I've got some ones I could read

And I've got, we've got some audio cues You aren't still in character from the show Right, certainly I'm cheap Or fuck, the voice is off now Fuck, fuck, I'll get it back Yeah, you went a little SpongeBob Yeah, sorry Oh yeah, give us your SpongeBob

Yeah, how does he do it? That one's a little off too That's mine Squidbird I can't get out I'm a little horse right out He's so fucking high Spongebob.

Is this my squid word? That's good squid word. And then here's my Patrick, ready? Hey, SpongeBob. Is that good? All right, I'm going to read one here, and then I'm going to ask you, Jeff, to find the video and photo so we can look at it, all right?

Okay. This is from Beth. So grateful to the pod. I was listening to the Q&A episode about two weeks before I got married in the ring dressed as the macho man Randy Savage to my beautiful Miss Elizabeth. Whoa, really?

And when I asked my bride to be, if it was okay if we walked back out after the ceremony to I just had sex, she gave me a resounding yes. I picked a winner. We got married in the ring at a costume party fundraiser for a community health center in our city. Thanks for the idea. This kid's awesome. So I want to see this video and photo of them dress like that. There's another phrase that I want to start getting going. Oh, you got the video.

It's also a dressed-up, macho man. That shit is so dope. This is so gangster. Golly. Congratulations. Yeah, that's what you call top turnbuckle right there. Jumping off to top turnbuckle. Yorm, I didn't hear you, but I was just going to say that's what you call top turnbuckle.

No, fuck. I was saying, fuck. I fucked it up and then, God, Andy, no, it's mine. It's actually my friend, friends. He likes to say that. This dude came in top turn buckle. Let's just say. When you're coming in hot, top turnbuckle.

Because it's like the highest point of leaping. Well, because you build to that in any wrestling match. You know what I mean? Top turnbuckles. That's like four minutes in. That's the zenith of the turnbuckles. Flying, flying bar cross. As turnbuckles go, you can't get much higher.

You cannot. You cannot. It's the highest. The top one? Yeah, that's truly like the acme of all turnbuckles is the one at the top. Tippety top. Yeah. Well, let me just say that Beth, you came in top turnbuckle.

And that is the best video that we've seen ever sent to us, I guess. I mean, I don't think we need to rank them. That's fair. That's fair. That was cruel. Hello, Lonely Islands and Seth Myers. This is from Matthew. On the most recent episode, Andy very casually references the 1975 TV special Really Rosie. It is unremarked on by Seth and Akiva, so I don't know if they understood the reference or not. My three-year-old son is huge into Mory Sandack books and the TV special and the soundtrack with the songs by Carol King. Yeah.

We have the record and we listen to it. I don't really know anyone else who's familiar, so it really caught me off guard with Andy Mayn mention. Oh. Well, Matthew, first off, let me just say. Thank you for that. And I'm sorry for what Quentin Tarantino said about you. I thought that was completely out of line and uncalled for. I think you're an incredible actor.

Oh, my God. So, you know, keep your chin up. Keep your head out. That's really kind of you. So you're assuming Matthew Liller wrote this. Yeah, isn't, I feel like that's implied, no? There's no last name, so I think your guess is as good as mine. I think it feels like a safe assumption.

Have you ever heard of another Matthew? I haven't. Anyway, so really Rosie is something. I have two older sisters, and I grew up listening to that nonstop. We were Big Carol King family, as I know a lot are. And yeah, you know, I know those songs real well. I guess these guys either were like, yeah, that's such old hat. I'm not even going to comment on it or they just didn't know what the reference was.

No, I didn't know. Oh. He has a follow-up just question, which is, do you listen to it now or to watch it now because he can't find it in decent quality anywhere? I have not attempted to find it, but I have listened to the music since having kids again. Got it. So we'll just put this question to the quads. Yeah.

Because he's looking for the special itself, somewhere to rent or stream. You hit us in the titus. Can you hook up that really rosy video? So, little factoid guys, this part didn't air, but when I did Finding Your Roots on PBS, at the end, they tell you another person that, like, works in entertainment or in the public in any way that they, through doing DNA testing,

have determined that you are, whether vaguely or very, are related to, and mine was Carol King. Really? Whoa. Yeah. Wow. That's cool. So we might be like 15th cousins or something,

but I was like, that's pretty awesome. Do you want to hear something more about Carol King? She wrote a song called Been to Canaan, which is about Canaan, Connecticut, which is where my accident happened. Guys, let's not forget it. Was that what it was about? Because you've been there. And it made quite an impression. No, it wasn't about a pelvis injury.

One last thing on Carol King, I will say before being told that, I have had people send me pictures of young Carol King being like, this looks like you in high school. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Have you ever actually looked at that? I'm looking it up right now, dogs. Maybe someone can make us a nice side by side.

I kind of feel like once you see it, Yorm, you'll be like, it's not, it's not like a hundred percent wrong. It was it like, was it like, was it like, was it like, well or just, just facewife? Here, look at like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, she looks great. It kind of looks like your sister, too. And my hair was long. I mean, I look like my sister if she was a dude.

That is not, that's not far off, though, man. Wow. Yeah. Anyway, I'm sure we're related. I don't think we're like twins. That would make no sense. But we could be separated at birth, I'm just saying. Yeah.

Well, Carol, hit us up so you and Andy can go out to dinner, get, you know, reacquainted. Big, big, big, big, huge fan. Love it all. Don't forget that I fell off the ladder, guys. And it's real. And it's real. And don't forget that I actually fell off the ladder. And don't believe air, Godre.

Yeah. And if you see me stage diving, ignore that. Then that's just what needed to happen. That's AI. The injury is the real. thing. This podcast is sponsored by Naked Wines.

Yorm, it's the holiday season. Yeah. Do you sometimes like to just sit by a roaring fire in a cozy, chunky knives out sweater and just a full right-to-the-brim glass of red wine?

You know I do. And the chunkier, the better on the sweater tip. So, thank you for picturing me. Whoa. Oh, cool. Wine alarm. Uh-oh. It's one o'clock. Oh, well, it's one o'clock. Mama needs her wine.

What is wine o'clock for you? What do you say? Four o'clock? I would say 5.36 p.m. Oh, okay. Unless it's W-H-I-N-E, because then it's all day long for this guy. When you're at a restaurant, they pour the glass of wine, and they pour it like a fourth of the way up the glass. Do you do what I do and go, hey, don't be a cheapskate?

And I go like, eh, and I make them pour it till it's brimming. You know how you can get that surface tension on the top of a wine glass where where the wine, the liquid is actually higher than the rim of the glass? Yes, yes. If you pour right to the top, you can get those extra drips. That's what I demand of my Somalias.

And then when you're at home by a roaring fire, wearing a chunky sweater, do you also fill it to that level? Or no, you don't need to. No, only for guests. Gotcha. Just so that they know I'm... Not a cheap skate.

It's like when you're at a really good Japanese restaurant and they pour the sake and it's sitting in the glass inside the bamboo box so they pour it so that the sock overflows out of the glass. Yeah, quality. I do it like that, but it just goes on the carpet.

And you just throw out carpet, just to show how baller you are. Just to show that my level of hospitality is at that level.

comes from quince. Damn. Yeah. You hear that voice? This guy means it this time. I mean it this. But all the other times, I've only semi-meant it. Just kidding.

I always meant it. What's your favorite part of doing the whole podcast, Yorm? The ads. Oh, Keith, it's my favorite. It's just great to do with you, man. It's just great to see you in a different context. Thank you. Yeah, this context, my true self.

All right, but this is the truth. You know, sometimes one of the benefits of doing these ads is they send you samples of stuff before they say, hey, pick out something from the website so that you can be genuinely talking. Yes. So this is a true story. We did that. We got some sheets from Quince. We liked them.

They were good. And then the truth is, they were good enough that when my daughter was just getting a new bed, Liz went to the Quince website and paid our good, hard-earned money at the Quince website to buy more. And she bought a comforter, I believe it's what's called, you know, like now. There's a duvet cover and a duvet in the... insert. This is just me asking a real question about. Oh, yeah. I'm already stumped on this, but go ahead. Yeah. Because I always used to say a comforter and then a duvet cover, but then you're like, wait, is it the duvet then the comforter? Are we covering a duvet insert? But then it's called a duvet insert. Oh, I thought the comfort was the innards of a duvet or no. Right. Duvet insert. Okay. That's a duvet insert. Okay. Agreed. That's what I would have said. But then does that mean duvet is the entire thing? Because it goes duvet insert, duvet cover. What's the duvet. Well, I'm not. I'm going to. I'm I prefer the word innards. Yeah, well, what is, so duvet innards and outards, I guess.

Wait in the comments, guys. So when she was just doing her bed, Liz bought duvet innards, duvay outards, and pillowcases and sheets, and did the whole bed from Quince. And it's the coziest bed in the house. Nice, nice. And I also benefited from things that have been sent to us from Quince, and I don't have any cool story like that, but I'm glad we worked out. the whole innards outards thing this is something i wanted to talk about with you yorn for a while

when the nights turn frosty which quince betting pieces are your go-to for bringing holiday warmth and coziness into your space oh is it the duvet innards duvay outards or both put together to make one duvet you know it's the sandwich dog oh you're an innards outards guy you like both on your bed big time you get that's controversial they may pull their funding from us just kidding they love oh no they love us no they love selling innards and outards together that's how it works that's how you make a complete bed sandwich a bed sandwich listen their quilts comforters and duvet inserts offer pure quality warmth and texture so it just said comforts and duvay inserts as two separate things oh yeah okay weighing in on the comments guys what do you

think innards outards uh duvet cup inters outards you weigh it I think they should change it on their website to enter and out personally. Hit all of us and all the tithas.

purveyors of pop culture oddities and collectibles. Rest assured, these won't be used nefariously at a crime scene. They'll pair beautifully with Walter White's lobotomy scars, I guess that's something else they have, or better yet, our 1995 Berkeley High School yearbook. We're like Rip Digman if he only hunted

for weird shit. Digman! Quaid Army and Style Boys for Life. Love you guys, Mike. Oh, my God. That's great. Yeah, because on a crime scene, you could use the teeth to bite people,

and then they'd be like, you know, that cannibal is definitely your man. I guess Ocha did this. That's what they meant. That's what they meant. Yep. That's what they meant. Next question.

Keeve, before we move on, thoughts on the Netflix purchase of Warner Brothers? It feels concerning, I guess. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. I'm not going to ask you, because I know he has no idea it's happening.

Well, the minute you say Warner Bros. Anytime anybody says Warner Bros., I just think of E-40 saying Warner Brothers at the beginning of one of his albums. Warner Brothers, that's all I think of. And I think of the animaniac except there being a kooky in their water talent.

Get out of that water tower, you scamps. Totally insaney. Okay. Hi, Lonely Island. Hi, Seth. So first, I want to say that John Lutz seems like a perfectly nice guy who loves the Lonely Islands.

Now, on to my age. issue with him. My family all live in a place immediately north of Tampa. That's called Lutz, spelled the same as Lutz, but pronounced correctly. So please tell Lutz, he's been saying his name wrong. Okay, now that I've gotten that off my chest, I have a question for a set. Why do you keep visiting Hillary and Larry, but never schedule shows in New England? Also, feel better, Yorm, and I'm sorry, Andy, but I'm not just a great army. I'm also Team Frisbee. That dog is definitely worth more and how much you hated her. okay well that was a question for Seth

it was but because he's so I'll answer it selfish and not here he can't answer but go ahead Danny you answer for Seth yeah I'll answer it good uh really that's what you're gonna ask me thank you I think he's gonna have to jump on next week and answer that for real but that was a great um no Jorm

I'm not gonna answer the question I'm Seth that's what he sounds like all the time that is a pretty good exasperated saying pretty accurate. Thanks. Thank you for the well wishes as well because of my pelvis. Yeah. Which is not AI. It's real. It's a good way to beat the whole. Is your pelvis feeling Sora?

Yeah. Good. Thanks. I'm going to go walk off a bridge. Let's hit the next one. Let's see if this one's for us. Hi, guys. My question is about The Curse and specifically wondering how you came up with the name Sergio, wondering whose idea it was or whether you, you know, pitched a bunch of names and that's the one that stuck or if he was just always a Sergio from the beginning or if it's referencing anything. I really appreciated the blast from the past that was this short because when it came out, I was studying music in college and it was impossible for a while there to walk through the halls of the music building without somebody with a saxophone turning around

and going, Sergio. So thank you for that, wave of nostalgia and I'm a huge fan of the pod and have a great day. Oh my God, that makes me so happy. Well, thank you very much. much. It looks like one more person gets added to the list of not being chuffed by the breaking of the line. We're past this. She didn't say anything about that. She didn't say anything about that.

She just said it was nostalgia. She almost sounded to me like it was just something that was beloved. Do you think she said it was nostalgic because it was reminding her of like bad home movies they used to shoot or something? I think there's definitely a chance. I think we have to assume that there's a chance. That's what you're talking about.

You know how things like used to suck. Because it was so amateurish. It just reminded me of, like, videos we would take when I was, like, six years old. Oh, and how the color correction was bad. Guys, I said it was good from the beginning. I thought of the name Sergio, and I don't remember why. I think it was just, it matched the look

and thinking about ham saying that, and that being what he yells was just was silly and funny. Just the guy with good chest hair. But it wasn't, like, based on anyone or anything like that. Great answer. We have to say that for legal purposes. that was not based on anyone. Yeah, it wasn't based on Sergio Leone.

Who looks exactly like that? Good job pulling Sergio Leone. That makes perfect sense. This guy's so good with words. So, so good. There's a guy named Sergio on my soccer team for a couple of years growing up. I was listening to you guys talk about

the closet organizer sketch with Ham. Growing up in a little place called the Bay Area, my neighbor over the fence in Oakland was one George Zimmer of the men's warehouse. My idiot classmates used to come over and torture this poor man by yelling over the fence, Say it, George, say it George, until he'd eventually have to come out of his house in his bathrobe and get to the fence and say, I guarantee it to shut a bunch of eighth-grade dummies up. Incidentally, Zimmer was a pretty cool guy, one of the biggest financial supporters for marijuana legalization at the time, and also the Oakland Zoo.

Anyway, love the pod. Wow, I love that. Oh, gosh, that was a great thank you for just that factoid. I guarantee it. I guarantee it. What was the full thing? You're going to like the way you look. I guarantee it.

Yeah, and he would do these great local, I guess, ads. I didn't know if they were local. They could have been national. They got slicker by the end. They got better better. Yeah, he had a perfectly manicured beard. It looked like he used good product in his beard. Men's Warehouse is like a suit, a place to buy a nice suit.

He got younger over time. And you're going to like the way you look. You're going to love the way you look. I guarantee it. What a good guy, though, to be able to, you know, placate a bunch of eighth graders is fucking... Oh, Jeff's saying they were national. So maybe it started in the Bay? Really?

Me not know. And then he got bigger. Well, that would make sense why the ads got slicker. It's funny. I never thought about stuff like this when I was a kid. You're just like, there goes that guy who is selling suits. But when you think about that his name is George Zimmer and how he looks, you're like, oh, he easily could have just been a rabbi.

Oh, guys. to tie it back to what we're talking about, the pee-wee suit that they got for me was from the men's warehouse. Oh, so they definitely have them everywhere. Really? Yeah, yeah, in NYC. And did you get it in the pee-wee section?

Yep, there's a whole pee-wee section, and if you go there, be sure to look out for that and get your hopes up that exists. Hi, this is Edie from Baltimore again. I know the last time you told me not to say that it was my third time, but it is, so I'm not a liar. J.K., actually, I'm a liar sometimes.

Anyway, my question is, how old were your kids when you started to let them watch SNL? My mom has to watch every single episode before my brother and I get to watch it. And what are your kids' favorite digital sorts? Mine are Sushi Glory Hall and Ross Trent. And also, this is my favorite line from Ross Trent. Did you ever wonder why bald heads suck?

Ding ding ding ding dong duck Goodbye Just kill it Just please please Edie Just keep sending these Please It's so nice to hear from you Wow

Day brightened That's great parenting Watching ahead of you Because I will say my kids still They're and they're older They're you know But when they were younger I definitely was more concerned

With something random I was curated I just show stuff on YouTube To my 10 and my five-year-old who loves basically anything with Kristen Whig, Duneese is really big

for my daughter who's five. And also the oh-no sketch, if you look up Will Forte, S&L, oh no,

they love that one. But it's all curated for me. I don't actually let them like watch the show in its entirety. Yeah, one of my kids got very into the wig

Penelope sketches and watched every one of them multiple times. Yeah, basically any wig character is, although they didn't really understand

the Thomas character. didn't go over. Give it time. I should show them that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's Wiggs' blood on the tracks. You've got to put a little road behind you before you get it.

All right. Let me see if I've anything else from South here. Put some road behind you. Oh, I love it. Is that an idiom, Andy? I don't know that exact way of phrasing it. Yeah, it sounds like you sort of changed it a little bit, which so was an exact idiom.

Yeah. That can happen to people, though. they can get it a little off, but people still get it. Oh, man. You're pathetic. All right. Jack Black, let's have the moment. Spelling bee.

Spelling be. Well, I'm afraid to say, I got it clean, bitch, yeah! Total misdirect. He was worried. What a Friday. What a gift going into the weekend. I weirdly was worried for a second on that way. I was like, oh, fuck.

We're going to disappoint people. No, I got it clean. What did you use? I got to within two words and then found out that I was missing a six and a seven. Got it. So completely clean, clean, squeaky clean, but you had checked how many words were in there? Yes. That's just part of your thing.

All right, there's going to be 50 words or whatever it is. Yes. Then I found out I needed a six and a seven. Yeah. But then nothing past that. And then I got them without any other. Do you check how many words total just right off the bat every time? Or do you go kind of deep in?

No, I try to go as far as I can before I look. Got it. And then, Andy, how long did it take you today? And what's the average? And this is going to bum me out because I'm sure it's maybe. It's tough because I kind of like sometimes like, I mean, I'm slightly ashamed to admit. Sometimes if I'm up late, I'll like stay up a little longer. And then when the clock strikes midnight, the new one posts.

And I'll do it until I finish. And that'll usually be like somewhere between 20. 30 minutes. I mean, dude, if you need that dopamine to get to bed, I totally get it. Exactly. That's what Robin was talking about on our new single. That is true. Have you watched the video for dopamine? It's all spelling. It's all spelling. There's like these weird bees floating around and someone in the background keeps doing the Travis Scott Solid thing from last week's show. But other times I'll be doing it sort of periodically throughout the morning and then like, you know, have to stop. But would you say 40 minutes?

Like, if you were in a clock. It depends on the day. I mean, some days there's like, you know, 60-something words and it takes way longer. Okay. In other days, it's like, the total number of points is like 80. And you're like, oh, well, this is not going to take long. And then it doesn't. Okay. Follow up, follow up.

But when you see like an I-N-G, are you like, oh, great? Or are you like, oh, great? Or do you not think like that? I think usually that means it's going to be easier. Or if there's E-D, because then you get a word and then you do that word with a D and E-D at the end, etc. Erectile dysfunction. But, um... Walked right into it.

My last word today was bienia. Which is a word that you knew. Yeah, from the B. Gotcha. What does it mean? Exactly. It means exactly? Yeah.

Gotcha. They don't, remember, they don't care about what words mean. They just care that they exist. Right. Oh, my God. It's a specified period of two years. He definitely just looked it up. I absolutely did not.

That's like how long we've been doing this pod. Have you... Exactly, this episode. For like a bienia. It feels like a lot of... more than a bianna. This episode feels like a bianna. It feels like two bianni is.

I'm assuming there's no word for for. Again, apologies for my low energy. I was just winter soldiering all night and I just have no amount of you got to excuse us, guys. We were very likely all winter soldiering our little buns off last night. That's why our elbows and knuckles are so scraped. You should see the other guys though. Yeah.

I mean, I don't know what they looked like because I have. We don't know. But if you see them, if you see a bunch of beat up guys, we were. there. The body remembers. Sometimes your mind doesn't remember, but your body will always hold that memory. Yeah. Honestly, I might just get a green tea, you know, to replenish. Well, that's such a great idea. Antioxidants. From all the winter soldiering. I might just get some more of that serum if I could find it, you know. Oh my gosh. Yeah, for all our winter soldiers out there, green tea, great way to replenish. For all our winter soldiers of the Quaid Army. Quaid Army, Winter Soldier, checking in.

I think generally speaking what we've learned here is if you're feeling extra sleepy, it is acceptable to tell someone it's because you were very likely winter soldiering the night before. But you can't prove it and neither can day because part of it is that it's very clandestine. They'd be like, prove me wrong. I easily good have been. And when I said very likely, I do believe that. Yeah, it's a really good. Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I'm late.

I overslept. I was very likely winter soldier was. I woke up so tired with bruises everywhere. prove me wrong but still hire me though still hire me it's a job interview now and it's interesting

that it's in New York Times games that triggers us for our winter soldiering like what is their agenda oh my god or are they just a tool of the government of whoever the whatever

black site service whatever who's the puppet master is what you want to know exactly that's a hard one in a job interview because it feels like that's a biggest strength and biggest weakness kind of thing

you know it's like how do you answer that I'm a winter soldier, but that makes me late occasionally. Yeah. And also, I don't know what side I'm doing it for, so I have no clue what kind of shit I do. Oh, right. Yeah, good point. All right. Well, I got Queen B.

If you accept my rules. Yep. We got to the end. Oh, look. Jeff made a side-by-side of me in high school with a picture of a young Carol King. It's pretty good. That's pretty good. Yeah. I always thought of you as handsome in that photo,

but seeing Carol King, I think she is a little... I appreciate that, Yorm, but I actually don't think that I look that good in that picture. I do. You're wrong. Oh. You're Yorm's type there. Everybody's got a type. Yeah, you're big time, I type.

I feel like I look like someone that I wouldn't really enjoy. I guess, Sergio. But for the record, they provided a bunch of different weird bow ties at the photo shoot. Like, I didn't choose that bow tie. Oh, gotcha. You went in their Sands bow tie, and they were like, oh, God, we got to fix this. I can't remember. I think I went in there and they had clothes that they put on you.

They did. We all did for our senior portraits at Berkeley High. Yeah. Like, no one in high school owns a tux. It was like if you were doing a quick change into a tux on a, like, S&L, where it's Velcroed in the back. And they've made a complete... You made it into our yearbook, right? Even though you weren't going to our school. I'm in the senior yearbook. Yeah, but he wasn't at the time going to our school, which is particularly impressive. Yeah, that's how big and disorganized it was that no one even cared. Well, a lot of our friends were working on yearbook, too.

Yeah, that's true. I think Josh got me in. All right, two last things before we get off. One, there is a book called, I Guarantee It, Colon, the Untold Story Behind the Founder of Men's Warehouse by George Zimmer. The Untold Story? Mm-hmm. It's told for the first time in this book. Oh, my God. I hope it's like a Goodfellas level violent.

I guess you could say that about anyone that has never had their story told before. The subtitle above the title is, you're going to like the way you look. Oh, I wish it was read. No, it is. You're going to like the way you... Yoram, shut up and let him fuck. fucking finish, you motherfucker. He's in the middle of telling you it is what you want it to be.

Just fucking relax, dude. You're not on stage doing rage anymore. Sorry, Eddie. Good kid. It says you're going to like the way this reads. But this reads is in handwriting like if someone crossed off you look and wrote it on that. It's a lot like the original naked gun poster. Which is, you've read the poster now see the movie.

By the way, Keeva, just so many people who think I'm you just keep complimenting me about the movie. Well, good. They might as well just say thank you. Oh, I do. I do. It's like in high school. You're not going to congratulate me today, guys?

On what? Your birthday? Have congratulations. No, it's got a Critics Choice nomination for Best Comedy Movie. Oh, my God. I didn't know that. Congratulations. Thank you.

Palm Springs won that, right? That's that award we have up in the office. Palm Springs did. win that and I hope that you also win it would be well deserved. I don't know what else is nominated but they can all eat, shit, and die. That's right. Friendship is. Jesus Christ, but I'm telling Tim that you said that right now. Well,

Tim is our friend and I do love him a lot. It would go so nicely next to our other one. Wait, what does that award look like? I can't remember. It's like a shooting star but it's vertical shooting star. I don't mind that one. Oh, the last thing, there were some questions about me getting 86 because it came up in

an ad read with my daughter when we were talking about one of Sponsors being something that protects you from fraud and tell a story about being defrauded. So just to give a little more explanation, I don't want to say the name of the restaurant, but I don't know why I don't want to say it. I just don't want to make an enemy with someone unbalanced

because I found the owner to be unbalanced in the things. So it is a restaurant in Los Angeles, and I'll just say it's near UCB because that's part of it. Just say it, and then we'll bleep it up. Yeah, well, it's called beep, and it's next to UCB. I've saved a buck. I've never been there to that restaurant still to this day or before.

I'm in Atlanta shooting Neighborhood Watch, and I finally look at one of my credit card things because I'm so busy shooting a movie and I'm not using credit card at all. And I look at the receipt, and there's tons of charges at Target at gas stations. And then interestingly, at this restaurant, that I'm like, wow, I just feel like when your credit card

starts getting used for fraud, it's usually at places you've never even been or aren't even near where you would have been. or I've ever heard of. This was like somebody using it in the neighborhoods in L.A. that we are in. I noted it. I called American Express. They wiped the charges.

You never think about it again. What I didn't know is they take that money back from those places. Well, yeah. Where do you think they get it from? I thought they ate the charges because they're the ones that let their credit card be used erroneously, but they take it back from the retailers. I only know this because two months later or a month later, I got a text from Jake Johnson from the film Self-Relertie.

or from New Girl, I believe, at the time. Fuck, yeah. He was on New Girl or maybe. Jurassic Park he was in? Yes, but I think this was New Girl era, Jake Johnson. And he was like, what the fuck did you do? Did you like, did you like get drunk here and like tear the place where it? Because it's kind of bad ass.

It's pretty fucking cool. It's on the Instagram for Lonely Myers pod so you can go see it. And it is, yeah, it's a headshot. They pulled off Wikipedia. You can still see that it says Wikipedia on the top. It has my name huge. And then handwritten on it says 86. like do not serve and it was in the window so like the inside of the window but pointing

also it was next to the UCB so like a lot of comedy people yeah so anyone walking on frankly would just see it right away and and i thought it was hilarious and that it was kind of badass and liz was like no you can't have it there but of course i was being egged on by by uh jake and nick jasonovic just shout out to nick i've seen him in 12 years but that's who he's with so So Liz was like, no, come on. We got to at least find out why and get it taken down. That's crazy. You've never even been there.

So she calls the owner, and the owner, first thing he says is, because she left a message as Liz Kikowsky, and the first thing he said is like, why are you Liz Kikowsky? I thought you said you were Akiva Schaffer's wife. Oh, so he was a patriarch guy. Yes. Couldn't understand the idea of her having a different last thing. He was like, wait a minute. And immediately it was like, this con is continuing because this liar.

I've never heard of this before. The con is the cons back on. Someone keeping their name. This is someone lying to me saying that this is his wife when they have a different last name. That's impossible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so clearly a great dude.

And then refused to take it down. Was like, nope, he did this. I recognize him. I'm sure he goes to UCV. He's definitely. The waiters said they recognize him. And I'd never been there. And he wouldn't take it down.

Oh, my gosh. That's great. That's great. That was it. I mean, the only thing, Keith, is that if you believe in karma, than I just feel like maybe you did deserve it. Yeah.

Somewhere, like just karmically. But I'm taking the high road and not saying who this guy was that owns a restaurant that doesn't believe women can keep their last name. Look, we can just say it. It's a really good. It's so baller. Did you say it's Spago? Yeah. It's Spago.

It's Spago. It's those guys. Yeah. Yeah, it was Wolf. I got Wolfgang on the phone. He kept saying in Austria, this would never happen or something. Yeah, yeah. What the heck?

He was just like, If she really loved you, she would take your last name. That's my German, I guess. I don't know. If she really loved you. It's just Arnold. He's Austrian. Yeah.

Oh, the schnitzel. You ordered four orders of schnitzel and did not pay. Is that pretty good? I do not pound all the schnitzel for her to not take my last name. You know what I mean? That's a dead on Wolfgang Puck from the Wolfgang Puck on Franklin next to UCB. Oh, you guys, I'm laughing so hard. but if you're not from L.A., you don't know why.

But it was very funny. Imagine if they had a spa go on Franklin. They would never. I suppose hell would have frozen over. Well, the last thing I'll leave you guys with is I hope if I winter soldier tonight, I don't kill either of you guys. That's so sweet. Likewise, thank you. That's a really nice sentiment.

On the other hand, I'll never know it was me. True. So you won't be guilty at least. Yeah. Hey, there's the picture. Jeff put it in the chat. And you know what? If you're a good winter soldier,

we'll never know either. We'll just be... Caput. And you'll never know because you'll never see me coming. I'm that good. Yeah, it says Akiva Schaffer, no service, 86th management.

It's really good. The sweetest little picture of you smiling. I know, it's me just smiling. Although, if you look at the picture, if you look at the picture, you do look like you're getting away with something. Yeah, yeah, he's happy. He's like, he-he-he-he-he-credit-mai-dil.

A little mullah for you. Oh, hey, late night with Seth. Late Night with Seth Myers, also nominated for a Critic Choice. Cool. All right, that's it. Fine, Andy. Way to go, late night with Seth. I wish you had been here to bask in the glory.

But now we're going to say that it's a fake nomination. All right. Well, I hope I don't kill our idea you guys, too. Love you. Love you guys. Later, Arnold. Later, Quades.
