The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast - Motherlover

Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast. I started recording, by the way, guys, just in case, because I'm coming in hot. Yeah. Because I'm coming in hot. I'm trying to think of a good anecdote. Oh, Mother Lover was a great short, and, uh, ugh, I'm panicking, ah, I'm coming in hot.

Starting point is 00:00:20 Andy, Andy, you filled me in on a detail about your day that maybe the other gentleman would like to know I think they could probably guess You beat you beat on on the birth of our nation. I got a fourth of July B and it was no slouch either I'll tell you that yeah, it was a long what does that mean? There's a lot of words 61 words over 400 points yarm for Pangrams it was an insane clean B that I got today. It felt great.

Starting point is 00:00:47 I also got letterboxed in two. So I'm feeling, honestly, like I'm walking on fucking air. Feeling really good. That's the first time that I've heard that word said out loud, pan, did you say pangrams? Panagram? Yeah, pangram. It's when you use all the letters.

Starting point is 00:01:01 No, I've played the game, Seth. I have played the game. How did you think you would say it? I never said it out loud. So in my mind, it was panagram or like, I don't know. So you were just adding a word, you were adding a letter that wasn't in it.

Starting point is 00:01:12 Yeah. Cause I would say pangram is a definition of pronounced like it's spelled. No, yeah, I just never looked at the word really. But this is- Yoram's just so like entrenched in the bananagram culture. Right, right, right. That's true

Starting point is 00:01:25 I'm more of a banana Graham guy. I think that somewhere was creeping into a subconch Hey somebody wrote in Andy that would a good slang for if you queen bead because you know You often obviously have to say I Queen bead. Thanks for saying would a slang be I quibbied At least something could come out. Oh, yeah. I almost feel like it's blasphemous not to from this point forward. At least something eternal could come out of Quibi. You know it'd be nice if something good came out of Quibi. Another word that we say. Well guess what guys, I Quibbied today.

Starting point is 00:01:59 You Quibbied today on their nation's founding. Hey, I want to try something real quick. Alright, so I'm going to say, hi, I'm Seth. And then I want Andy, I want you to say, hi, I'm Andy. Then we'll go Yorm, hi, I'm Yorm. And then Akiva, hi, I'm Akiva. So we got it real quick. It'll go Andy, Yorm, Akiva.

Starting point is 00:02:16 Do we have to say it really fast? Cause I'm coming in hot today. No, just say it slow. Just say it normal. Ready? And we'll see if this works. Fine. Hi, I'm Seth.

Starting point is 00:02:24 I'm Andy. Hi, I'm Yorma. Hi, I'm Seth. I'm Andy. Hi, I'm Yorma. Hi, I'm Akiva. And hi. That did not work. Whatever you did did not work at all. We didn't hear it, Sam. How do we do it where we hear it? I heard the echo of like a weird, I was like, wow, there's like a weird echo in the very deep background.

Starting point is 00:02:42 I like how much that sucked though. By the way, the amount of work I put into this was one email dashed off 12 minutes ago. So yeah, but it was supposed to be something at the end and zoom had filtered it out. Yeah, total bust. Should we do it again? Let's see if it works. Now it has to be three times as good as I know it is. The best part about anything going subpar today is that especially you East coasters are actively ignoring your family during the fourth. Yeah, it's fourth of July. Again, 11 a.m. not ideal to leave your family on fourth of July. But Yoram and I are just 2 p.m. Absolute disaster.

Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah, like people are showing up at the queue. People are starting to, yeah. And here's the thing. My dad said that no one could start barbecuing until four he made it a rule So we're I'm actually okay. I'm good till the bare minimum y'all you got people showing up being like Where should I put these buns and your guys wife's are like? Usually answer that that did already happen. I will say that that's it happen twice I left a beach. I left a beach and had to tell multiple people I was going to do a podcast.

Starting point is 00:03:46 You could have lied. It sounds like a lie. It sounds like there's no way you're doing that on the fourth. What a bad lie though. I mean, if you were having like an affair and that was the best you'd come up with. Sorry, podcast beckons. It's actually pretty good

Starting point is 00:03:59 because no one will ask a follow-up question. Right, nobody wants to hear about your fucking podcast. No, they're not like, oh, which one? What's what? Who's the guest? So it's actually very clean. How was the banter? And your co-hosts, were they over-joved, under-joved?

Starting point is 00:04:13 Who came in hot? And did they quibby? Did they quibby? We skipped a week, so now this is a distant memory, but I remember feeling some vindication of people saying Lincoln Square when I saw the comments. Yeah, I wanted to own up to that. You were right on Lincoln Square. All right, should we try it?

Starting point is 00:04:32 Let's try it. Let's try it again. All right, so Andy, the one thing you did mess up, you're supposed to say, hi. Hi, I'm Andy. I realized that after Keeva and Yoram both did it. I was like, oh, odd man out. All right. Hi, I'm Seth.

Starting point is 00:04:43 Hi, I'm Andy. Hi, I'm Yoram. Hi, I'm Seth. Hi, I'm Andy. Hi, I'm Yorma. Hi, I'm Akiva. And hi. I am your mother! That's nice, that's nice. I am your mother! I went back and watched that and texted with Fred about it.

Starting point is 00:05:04 I forgot, Sudeika's very funny because one of the things about that sketch is it's very obvious to Andy and Zach's characters that they should recast. And Jason really jumps to her defense mid-sketch. Yeah, yeah. You need one of those. And it's that thing of like, look at her, look how beautiful she is. And it just cuts to Fred, just like really not, it's not that he's doing nothing, it's that thing of like, look at her, look how beautiful she is. And it just cuts to Fred, just like really not, it's not that he's doing nothing,

Starting point is 00:05:27 it's that it's the most subtle, he really is playing a woman who believes she's got it going on. Right, yeah. Really good. Yeah, we like characters that like themselves. Yeah, we do, and often does. Hey, this was, Yoram, can I share what you offered,

Starting point is 00:05:44 or didn't offer? You asked me to do you a solid a couple Fridays back? Yeah, I asked Seth to do a solid. He couldn't do it, which was a real fucking, I don't know, it was a real stab in the gut, I guess. It was a content killer, because it would have been great content. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:05:59 Well, why don't you tell him, Seth? Yoram asked if I would drive him home from his vasectomy. I just thought it would be good content for the pod. So you didn't actually need the ride. You were just like, how do I fold this into the cast, my main passion? That's awesome, actually. Yeah, it would have been a real talking point, I think.

Starting point is 00:06:18 You're trying to create things to talk about on, so you have like talk show stories. Yeah, totally. Here's the thing, Seth. Here's the thing, Seth. I'm rescheduling for October, so there's still time. Oh, you didn't do it. I didn't do it.

Starting point is 00:06:30 It was too big of a pain in the ass to get down there. So, you know, there's more than enough time. And honestly, if any of you guys are out on the East Coast, I would love if multiple guys could pick me up. It'd be really nice. Oh, a whole party. Yeah. Yoram did say, I wish Lorne had the kind of sense of humor

Starting point is 00:06:44 where I could ask him. I seriously thought about it, but I was like, he's not gonna pick this, it's funny. Oh my god. It would be. I feel like you'd text him and then one of his assistants would email and be like, he can't that day. Yeah, it would never be like, are you fucking kidding me? He doesn't pick people up.

Starting point is 00:07:00 He could at least send a voice note, though, of encouragement. He would be like, oh, he actually can't that day, but he does wish you the best. Yeah. A comment I enjoyed. Just watched Total Recall for the first time and can't believe there aren't 40 more Lonely Island sketches about this movie. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:07:18 Every scene has possibilities. I mean, I was thinking the scene where he, like, pulls the, like, tracker out of his nose I mean, it's so memorable. Oh god, even just the like sort of like vaguely claymation shots when they are Exposed to the Mars air. Yeah Exactly. Yeah. Wait, is that body horror? Is that technically but like when he takes it out of his nose Would you put that in the body? I would say that's maybe body horror. I think that's fair Yeah, that's like a new Is that technically body? Like when he takes it out of his nose, would you put that in the body horror scene? I would say that's maybe body horror. I think that's fair.

Starting point is 00:07:47 Yeah, that's like a new genre that I'm hearing about a lot. Sorry. Needless to say... You're like a professional director that directs movies. And has worked in the business for 20 plus years. And you just move on to the next part of the show. I'm actually just hearing about this phrase.

Starting point is 00:08:07 You guys heard about this body work? Also, are you guys hip to film noir? Have you heard about this? Did you know that for a stretch of time there were many Western films? Have you heard about this film? No we are. Hey, let's talk about Mother Lover though because we don't have much time, right guys? We should really get into this.

Starting point is 00:08:26 I mean, you weak. You have until four o'clock, there's a... I just flew it. You said 3.30 and then you told us about your dad's rule and now we know you lied to us. Did you push back on that rule? Like, why is it 4 p.m.? He doesn't want people to get too hot.

Starting point is 00:08:42 It's his birthday, so I'm just listening to my dad's rules. It's a- He's waiting for the sun to get lower in the sky. Yes, he is. He doesn't want anyone to overheat. What happens before that then? Are people not outside? People fucking fry, dude.

Starting point is 00:08:53 They fry, yeah. And also my family tends to like look straight up at the sun, so you really want to do it later in the day. Yeah, you got squinters. Yeah, yeah. A lot of sun squinters. We were trying to schedule this podcast on our text thread, and Jorm said, I can't do that, and my dad's play is opening.

Starting point is 00:09:09 And then what did I say? Everybody said, yeah, my dad's play. I think you just said same. Same. Yeah, same. And then Seth followed suit, and I think Akiva did too. Our dad's play is open. All our dads.

Starting point is 00:09:21 I said that if you grew up in Berkeley, you never saw your dad, because he always had a play that was like, that's kind of true, guys. That's not like, you know, it's a lot of plays. Hey, somebody said you guys talked a lot about which Lonely Island cast member is which chipmunk. Do you guys have a theory as to which one of you is which Beastie Boy?

Starting point is 00:09:42 This one is difficult. It hinges on which song that we're doing and what fake voices we're putting on. It usually has to do with voice. I will say somebody offered their pick and it got into my head what I would say. I mean, if you talk about like our baseline voice tones, it would be Akiva is Ad Rock, I'm Mike D and Yoram's MCA.

Starting point is 00:10:02 Cause Yoram's bassiest, lowest, Keeves highest, and that leaves me in the middle. It's when we're doing those voices though. It's not all the time. On the other hand, when we did Bash Brothers songs, I was more MCA-ish. Just in terms of flow? Well, because Jose Konseko, the way that we were writing him was a little more that.

Starting point is 00:10:21 But like on Sushi Glory Hole, I'm not going high at all. No. But we're not doing Beastie Boys at all on that. I think on Sushi Glory Hole, I'm not going high at all. No. But we're not doing Beastie Boys at all on that. I think vibe-wise though, Andy is Ad Rock, Yoram is Mike D, and Keev is MCA. Oh, that's pretty cool.

Starting point is 00:10:34 I mean, if I could have chosen one, like from the time I was a little kid, that I would have most wanted to have been, it would have been Ad Rock, so thank you. Yeah. This is heartbreaking. Remember, it was two weeks ago we were talking about, Andy, you said, in the stewed, and then the closed captioning said, in this dude.

Starting point is 00:10:52 So we had you do it a bunch of times fast. Oh yeah. And then YouTube said, in the stew. In the stew. In the stew. You made a left turn there, smart. S-T-E-W, like the end of some fable where you went to a witch's house.

Starting point is 00:11:07 So now if I say in the stew, what is it gonna say? In the stew. In the stew. In the stew. In the stew. I don't wanna get too tangential here, but do you guys have like a favorite soup? Because I was thinking about this recently.

Starting point is 00:11:18 I'm not too tangential at all. A few moments ago, Yoram was like, we gotta get to Mother Lover and now he's like, wait, wait, no, no, but since we're talking. Sound off. Favorite soup. Since we're talking. And let's hear from the Quaid army. Like, hang on, I just realized my dad

Starting point is 00:11:31 doesn't have any plays opening today. We could talk forever. I got some for. Guys, I got to, I don't know what you heard, but I got some for. They're doing notes on opening nights at four. To answer the question in earnest, I have a lot of soups that I really like.

Starting point is 00:11:45 Like, I love a French onion. I fuck with a beef Borley. Borley? Yeah, I'm beef Borley. Borley. What were some of the favorite Hale and Hardy soups down in 30 Rock? Oh, my God, yeah, there was that, like, Moroccan peanut and something chicken one. That was super.

Starting point is 00:12:01 That was basically, like, peanut butter with a little bit of chicken in it. Hale and Hardy was a soup place in the basement of 30 Rock. Yeah. That was basically like peanut butter with a little bit of chicken in it. Halen Hardy was a soup place in the basement of 30 Rock. Were there, again, when you say in the basement, it seems like a shady place to get food, but there's like concourse of restaurants. And Halen Hardy was a real go-to for an SNL rewrite table. It was a real go-to.

Starting point is 00:12:19 And there was a moment at a rewrite table, I think it was your rewrite table, Seth, where I know me and Keev were in the room, and Higgins walked in and started talking about Pale and Farty. Do you guys go to Pale and Farty? And then within 20 minutes, me and Keev had made, using his brother, texting his brother, had made a website called paleandfarty.com. And then while Higgins was in the room,

Starting point is 00:12:46 then we're like, hey, check it out. Like, look up the website. Holy shit, this is pretty impressive. Yeah. I don't remember that at all. You don't? Oh, I do remember that. We owned the domain for a while.

Starting point is 00:12:56 It was very unsettling to look at as a website. It was like neon colors. It's pretty horrendous colors. Like, hurt your eyes. Well, I would hope, yeah. Paleandfarty.com? I don't think hurt your eyes. Well, I would hope, yeah. Halenparty.com? I don't think it exists anymore. No, no, there's no way my brother

Starting point is 00:13:08 kept paying for the dumping name. Oh, God, can I say something embarrassing? Of course it makes sense that it was Keeves' brother. I thought you were talking about Higgins' brother. That would have been way funnier. I was like, what? Al Higgins just did it up. Yeah, I was like, what the fuck does he know about it?

Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah, the guy's good at coding. My memory of Halen Hardy Soup is, you know, they'd come with those little oyster crackers and I remember just stress eating oyster crackers where I'd bite them in half, you know, cause you can kind of split them in half with your teeth and thinking to myself that I'd never have a funny idea ever again in my life.

Starting point is 00:13:41 Yeah, they're like the pistachio of crackers. Yeah. Oh, I was gonna say, everybody sort of- Mine's gazpacho. Mine's gazpacho. To end that. Jesus Christ. Okay, go ahead. Keep going. Just keep going. Everybody, our listeners thought Balcony Song got hosed, and a bunch of people quoted Keef saying, what's the point of the show? Is applause and laughter the point of the show? And, uh... I didn't think I got that angry, guys. You know what? It was justified.

Starting point is 00:14:09 It was just normal. Uh, hey, I have a question, Keev. Oh, so I went, uh, traveled. I went to Amsterdam, brought Ash with me. How was things, though, sweating? Uh, you know what? If you love love, I think it was a pretty special time. Oh, interesting. I love love.

Starting point is 00:14:24 That's so great. But I was at the airport. I had four or five different people say Quaternary to me. Wow. Oh, man. That's cool. And the best thing about it is different people think it is meant to be delivered in different ways. Some people say it like it's a secret.

Starting point is 00:14:39 They get real close. Like almost like this is how you know I'm a spy as well. Yeah, like a spy club. That's my favorite way. That's my favorite. They'll be like, righteous kill. Other people will like scream it across the concourse, like, I just gave the Mel Gibson Braveheart speech. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:14:52 Righteous kill! Oh, sorry, they yell, Quaid Army, and then I righteous kill it back. Quaid Army! But I did really fist up yell righteous kill at somebody, and then my son asked about it, and I'm like, this is gonna take too long. I don't wanna talk about it. Someone said it to me last week Seth,

Starting point is 00:15:08 but they said both of them and I had nothing to say back. Oh, they said Quaid Army, righteous kill. They went Quaid Army, righteous kill and I was like, where do I fit in? Oh yeah, if you guys see us, please don't take both things if you see us. Yeah, you can say it however you want, you can say it like a secret,

Starting point is 00:15:22 you can say it like it's something to scream, but please don't say both. Yeah, because then we can't say righteous kill back, we have nothing to do. You fuck us up, you can say it however you want. You can say it like a secret. You can say it like it's something to scream, but please don't say both. Yeah, because then we can't say righteous kill back. We have nothing to do. You fuck us up. You fuck us up. We're sitting on our hands. We look idiotic.

Starting point is 00:15:31 Don't do that. Last comment before we get to, although I'm gonna find some other note I took. Find some fucking dope dishes. Oh, I was gonna say, Keev, is there, in Naked Gun, is there a righteous kill? No, I gotta, if I was gonna say, Keev, is there, in Naked Gun, is there a righteous kill? No, I gotta, if I was writing it now, he'd say it five times in the movie.

Starting point is 00:15:49 No, but like, is there like a kill in the movie that is righteous? Oh, a killing that is righteous? Uh, I don't think so. Okay, I gotcha. I think that there's an even more righteous thing that happens at the end, and you gotta go see the movie to, you know, sometimes killing isn't always righteous, guys.

Starting point is 00:16:04 Yeah. I was just hoping there might be a moment like in Brickbreaker, what's that? Minecraft? Oh, yeah. Movie where like, at some point, a zombie jumps on a chicken and everybody throws their popcorn in there. Chicken jockey. Yeah, chicken jockey. Come on. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, what's our chicken jockey moment where we can destroy theaters? Yeah. I need to figure out where to tell people to riot. Oh, brick freighter. I like thinking about the snood movie coming out and Lauren in the theater going, Yeah! Oh my God, it's a fucking purple ball! Oh my God, it's a fucking purple bubble!

Starting point is 00:16:35 Purple ball! Tearing his shirt off. Somebody's on his shoulders and everything. Everyone reveals they're covered in purple face paint. Everyone shows it. Just got an email to my AOL snood movie coming out. Somebody's on his shoulders and everything. Everyone reveals they're covered in purple face paint. Everyone shows it. Just got an email to my AOL snood movie coming out. We just secured, Broadway video just secured the snood rights.

Starting point is 00:16:54 Will I attend the premiere? What do you fucking think dressed as one of the major snoods? All right, so here we go. You guys, it's, again, I'm going to gloss over it because we've definitely talked about it. All right, so here we go. Again, I'm gonna gloss over it because we've definitely talked about it. Mother Liver was voted on by your peers as the best digital short.

Starting point is 00:17:13 And I loved watching it again. But my first question to you, because it was only five months after Dick in the Box. Oh my God, is that true? How? Well, maybe it's not. I will say that it starts with a title card that says five months later.

Starting point is 00:17:25 Oh, oh, oh, in terms of the story of these characters. Yeah. Dick in the Box was Christmas, but was it Christmas 2007? This is May 9th. I can't imagine. He didn't host twice in the same year, so it was. No, it had been years.

Starting point is 00:17:38 This is May 9th, 2009. So this is a year and a half later in the real world. It had been like 15 years. And my question is, did you know he was coming back? Did you know you were going to do the dick in the box guys again? Like you obviously knew you were going to do a shirt with him. Did you know you would do those two dudes? Yes. Right away.

Starting point is 00:17:54 I mean, we were terrified of it. Totally terrified to do it again. Pressure was on. And we even talked to him. I think he called us like ahead of his week to be like how the fuck are we gonna top that and we were like I don't think we can well He also had been there obviously for the Cathy thing that was a couple episodes back that must have been it instead instead of him Calling he probably talked to us about it. Yeah, I feel like we were like he was like, what are we gonna do?

Starting point is 00:18:15 Yeah, I think it was discussion. Like is it those guys again? Is it something new? Yeah. Yeah I don't know if it was like a given but like obviously it seemed like the right thing to do if we could come up with an idea that was... It was so scary though. I think we all wanted it to be them again, and I think he wanted it to be them again if it felt good. We knew it was the Mother's Day show for a while, and the premise that it ended up being loosely, we came up with immediately,

Starting point is 00:18:42 and then we did this on the third one also, and then we're like, okay, now is that really the best thing that we can come up with immediately. And then, and we did this on the third one also. And then we're like, okay, now, is that really the best thing that we can come up with for this? Uh, and then eventually just decided, yes, fuck it. And I feel like in both scenarios, Justin was like, yeah, it's good, it's good. Like, like, we're, we're good to go. Like, that's fucking, and then for three days,

Starting point is 00:19:00 like, all of us were like, I don't know. I mean, he correctly was like, it's better to just get started on it. Yes, yes. And Andy, you, you correctly was like, it's better to just get started on it. Yes. Yeah. And Andy, you correctly remembered the other day when we were prepping for this, because we do a lot of, me and Andy do a lot of side prepping. What are we talking about? Really?

Starting point is 00:19:14 No wonder it goes so well. What are we going to wear? What are we going to wear for the pod? What is our thing? And you tried to do it with Yoram, but he's off of the gazpacho shot. No, he's not. But you were saying that Timberlake was from the ground up part of this one. Yes.

Starting point is 00:19:28 Whereas the other one, you know, we didn't know what it was. We were off trying to figure it out and crack it. And then he came in pretty late into it and then added his spice over the whole thing and made it awesome. This one, because we knew what we were in for, he was just in our office and we built it totally from scratch. I do remember him feeling a little frustrated with how long we were taking to decide on whether we should do it or not though.

Starting point is 00:19:49 The next one even more so. I feel like that was more on the third one. The third one, yeah, more so. Yeah. For sure. I just want to clarify, these gentlemen never had names, right? Not at the time. No.

Starting point is 00:20:01 Yeah. No. But it is fun to have recurring characters who are so iconic in their appearance that they do not need be named. The Dick in the Box guys. Yeah, the Dick in the Box guys. So how do we want to do it? Cause I have a lot to ask about.

Starting point is 00:20:15 So you knew. I mean, we knew, we decided that was going to be the premise. We got a beat from Yoram's brother, Asa again, and Drew Campbell, his buddy, they made a beat together. And Drew did a lot of beats on the Bash Brothers just to give some context. We worked with Drew a lot on different things as well.

Starting point is 00:20:32 Well, and what's cool about this beat I remember is that we had asked him months, if not even a year earlier, there was some beat we loved, I'm not gonna remember the song, that was very synth heavy and 808 heavy. And we said, can you make things that sound like this, that are just this vibe? And they made us a few, Drew Campbell did right away, I'm not sure how much Ace was in on that part of it.

Starting point is 00:20:55 And one later became Throw It On The Ground. And one became Mother Lover. And did a third get used? It's so crazy. Usually people give us 50 beats and maybe one becomes a song at best. This was us requesting something specific. They gave us three beats and minimum two became Throw It On The Ground and Mother Lover. That's how good they are. Really? It was from that session was Throw It On The Ground? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:21:18 And what is the instruction you give them, Keev, to get that mother lover beat? We keep saying, hey, make it more dope like that. But this, so this beat existed before we came up with that and Mother Lover beat. We keep saying, hey, make it more dope, like that. But this, so this beat existed before we came up with that in Mother Lover. We then went and looked through beats that we liked in the past. Got it. Y'all get up and went, ooh, it could be to that.

Starting point is 00:21:33 It was not bespoke made for Mother Lover. Like Dick in a Box was bespoke made for the idea. But that's why this one doesn't actually, the beat itself is not 90s New Jack R&B at all. Which I'm so glad of, because it makes it immediately feel a little more urgent and different. It's also so much faster that you can cram way more jokes.

Starting point is 00:21:54 Like this has so many more jokes. Is this like, I wouldn't say this is twice as fast as Dickenham Box, but it's very fast. It's so fast. And there's incredible verbal dexterity right off the gates, which is a delight to listen to. Asus sent us a voice note about the beat. Do we want to just jump into that? Let's hear it. You know, the only thing I will say about Mother Lover that I can recall that was a point of annoyance for me was that

Starting point is 00:22:20 Good right to the point. when me and Drew Campbell made the beat, we were trying to make this mashup trance pop album with almost big trap drums and trance. Andy was the only person that had faith in it. We would send him music and he'd be like, oh, I'm fucking with this. He was the one that chose Mother Lover as he has many of our other beats. I remember after that song kind of went off and went viral, everybody hit me up and was like, oh, why didn't you give me that beat?

Starting point is 00:22:46 And then I was like, I tried. I tried for two years to shop that beat around and nobody wanted it. And so shout out to Andy. Love you, baby boy. Oh, bing bong. This guy has foresight. Dagwood.

Starting point is 00:23:01 That's not what I was remembering either, but I'll take it. Yeah, but it did exist for two years and I guess they just sent it over when we asked for Synthie Beats. Yeah. I'm so curious who asked, like who said that to him after the fact that he was like, oh, why didn't you? Because I do occasionally feel like when we make a song that once the beat has come out, I'm like, wow, we ruined that beat. Nobody can be on that beat anymore. Nobody can be on that beat anymore. And...

Starting point is 00:23:23 ALL LAUGH I just like that it is a cliche of what I really wanted to believe happens in hip-hop, where people call around and are like, why are you holding out the big good beats on me? Like, there's like the Glengarry beats. ALL LAUGH My son now says that, um, like, we'll be playing, like, an Octonaut song that I... that like is like tearing my soul out of my mouth.

Starting point is 00:23:45 And he'll start dancing and be like, this is a good beat. I'll be like, all right, man. I mean, you got the right rhythm, but the song's fast. He's nodding his head like, oh, that's great. This shit goes. This slots. That's who passed on ACES. The Octonauts passed on Motherlovers. Wow, that's great.

Starting point is 00:26:56 Hey, everybody. Keev had to bail, 4th of July. And again, our families weren't that excited that we were doing it today. Hate this, in fact. I think they were real mad. So here's the thing, Andy, it starts with five months later. Yeah. And you guys are walking out of prison. Getting out of jail.

Starting point is 00:27:15 You're getting out of jail, and when you're getting out of jail, did you get permission to shoot on the steps of this police station? Oh, man. Yoram, do you remember? This is usually... We did, yes. We did, it's at Brooklyn Detention Center, kinda near the Brooklyn Nine-Nine precinct that is actually based on that, Dan told me, Dan Gore told me

Starting point is 00:27:34 that it was apparently based on. And we did get permission, it was just like, you guys come in, hey, here's the thing, when Justin Timberlake's with you, it's a little easier to get permission. All right, so another thing I like, you guys come's the thing, when Justin Timberlake's with you, it's a little easier to get permission. All right, so another thing I like, you guys come down the steps, you're carrying your boxes. And I think most people maybe forget that you got arrested

Starting point is 00:27:52 at the end of Dick in a Box. Oh, too many people. It's important that we do, but yeah, you do maybe push it from your mind. I like that both of you though are pointing the holes out on the boxes. Oh yeah, so you can see. Yeah, it's a fun reminder that you guys put your dicks in them.

Starting point is 00:28:08 And the average size holes, like, you know, every, yeah. Good size holes. In case anyone forgot, like, that was the premise. -♪ Hahahaha! -♪ Um, should we do a rewatch as we do this one? I think we should. We can, I mean, I kind of want to talk about the writing part because I just want to brag. want to talk about the writing part,

Starting point is 00:28:25 because I just want to brag. Yeah, let's do that first. Great. Yeah, keep going. I just remember it being one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences personally that I've ever had, working on something. Oh, do tell. Like, I feel like we were on fire during it.

Starting point is 00:28:41 It felt very flowy, yes. It felt like it was coming really easily. The beat, we really loved. Justin was in the room with us as we were writing, and he and I were doing a lot of like, there's no other word for it, Jorm, riffing. Musical riffing. Riffing and like looking at each other and things that sort of became, became moments in the video to me. Like there's definitely like moments of you guys looking at each other.

Starting point is 00:29:04 There's a lot of looking in each other's faces in these videos. Yes, yes. I mean, these dudes are close. They're close. They're extremely close. Well, they have very similar ideas. That's so funny.

Starting point is 00:29:14 Yeah, like I guess we kind of think they just want to bone each other's mouths, but a real, a lot of it comes from their own intense closeness. They're very, I mean, we learned more about that in the third one. You can just picture them at sleepovers. There's something also about them, and I think it's probably because the music was popular when we were in junior high, but like the like youngness of we're going to wear matching outfits and have choreographed dances,

Starting point is 00:29:36 and we're going to know all the moves and do them at the same time and look into each other's eyes and then turn away at the same time, and do do, you know, and like, we were riding that kind of energy for it and I remember being like, oh, this is just fun. Like regardless of how it ends up, it's super fun to do and I remember having a lot of ideas for it, musically and lyrically that happened very quickly and it was just a good time. And I remember being shocked at how much time we had with Justin. Like you don't usually have that much time with the host and any moment that he got to not be on set having to rehearse,

Starting point is 00:30:11 he was like with us, which was really, really fun. Yeah. I mean, he wrote a bunch of the lyrics in Mother Lover. Yeah, a gang. Like, I want to say, I'm going to make your mama do a million poses. Digital camera line was just 100 percent his pitch. Yeah. I think I'm going to be the syrup she could be my waffle was his line, possibly.

Starting point is 00:30:28 Yeah, hit a bunch. And then, you know, just all throughout it, the back and forthiness of it, we were just vibing. It was super fun. I like that he appreciated how important it was to, if not outdo, at least be in the same zip code as the first one. That it would suck for everybody involved if it was bad. Yes. And I also will say I believe this was one of many times that we asked Asa and Drew to add a breakdown after the fact. And they gave us that beautiful like synthy like Alphaville

Starting point is 00:30:56 sounding breakdown that turns into it would be my honor, that section. It's kind of weird for how much I love this one and for how many jokes I feel like land and how many jokes I like, both visual and like just written jokes for this, that none of us voted for this one when you did the 64 like March Madness thing. Like none of you three. I think I did. All three of us voted for I Ran So Far over this one, but pound for pound this was a pretty good...

Starting point is 00:31:24 Did we? I thought maybe I voted for Mother. No, we all three. You remember that I didn't? Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy that you remember what I voted for, and I don't. Yeah. It's just that I was happy that we were a team. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:31:36 Well, I've said that one of the... I think one of the reasons it won over I ran so far is that every comedy writer in the room appreciates how hard it is to outdo a hit. Sure. Like everybody at SNL, every writer at SNL who had a thing that they then wrote the second version of, they know that like, oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:54 Because I don't even think about taking a box when I'm watching Mother Lover. Like there's nothing established other than like the first shot of the boxes, where a joke in the first one is repeated in the second one, which is... Yeah. It was also just super exciting now, like everyone's attention was on it production-wise, like everyone did a great job on the first one, but all of a sudden we were like,

Starting point is 00:32:14 hey, let's get outfits for the second one, you know, and like you can see as soon as the video starts, we had so many fucking dope outfits. Yeah. And got like actual matching stuff. And there's just like more layers to every setup. Oh. I mean, we'll get to that, I guess. Just when off the jump, your digital watches that you guys have are just so dope. I love those watches, and that roast beef sandwiches.

Starting point is 00:32:37 Oh. I mean, again, the sandwiches, when a sandwich shows up in one of your pieces of work, Andy. For me, it's like when Stan Lee shows up in a Marvel movie. I'm like, there it is. Yeah, he's the real Joey of the group. Also, the sandwiches are so... It's like they literally look the way you would want them to look if you had comedy sandwiches. Because you guys are... They're just a floppy ham.

Starting point is 00:33:04 Well, you guys are wagging around pretty hard. It's roast beef. I hate to correct a dear friend. No, yeah, but they're your floppy roast beef. Yeah. And it like, you're gesturing with it and just the right amount is coming off every time you gesture.

Starting point is 00:33:17 Little stringy, little floppy. And we knew, I mean, I can't remember who pitched that. I don't know if it was you or Keith. I can't remember that. But that setup, we were like, that setup is gonna be a lot of, like, shakiness, motions. And it immediately was making us giggle before we even shot it. I remember thinking that I was surprised this was working as well as it was.

Starting point is 00:33:36 It was good stringy roast beef. Because sometimes if you want, if you say I want a sandwich that falls apart, they like make it, like they make a bad sandwich. Yeah. Like this looked like a sandwich you could eat. No, this was a real sandwich. It just looked exactly the way a sandwich that falls apart, they make a bad sandwich. Like this looked like a sandwich you could eat. This is a real sandwich. It just looked exactly the way a sandwich, if you just were waving a sandwich around too much,

Starting point is 00:33:51 it would just very slowly fall apart. I think there's a decent chance we took bites of those sandwiches. Also, fun fact, Andy is still Young Sandwich in my phone. When I call him, that's what pops up. So if you hack Yorm, that's how to get in touch with me. Yeah, we'll just all be that part. It's fine. If someone can figure out how to hack you,

Starting point is 00:34:11 the four knocks of people. Don't put that out there. Yorm, you think someone can what, like, trick you into being confused about something enough to hack your phone? No, dude. Once a week, someone in Brooklyn walks up to Yorm and says, hey, can I use your phone real quick to call my mom?

Starting point is 00:34:26 And then he hands it to them and they just run away. No, call Young Sandwich. It's not who you think it is. Hey, I work at Barclays Center. Can I hold your phone? Should we watch this? Should we step through? Yeah, who wants to be in charge of the stopping and starting?

Starting point is 00:34:43 It can't be me, and you guys know why. I know how to do it. All right, I can do it. All right, ready, guys? Yeah, well, let be in charge of the stopping and starting? It can't be me and you guys know why. I know how to do it. Alright, I can do it. Alright, ready guys? Yeah, let's check it out. Five months later. I want to note, you'll hear right away, audience thrilled to see you guys.

Starting point is 00:35:03 Yeah. Dudes that look like that in real life don't get that reaction coming out of jail. Justin's lovely old timey trash can. Oscar the Grouch. Oh, dang. All right. Should we stop? Yeah. I mean, dude, that watch is...

Starting point is 00:35:18 That's the watch. Yeah. It like matches the color of your outfit. It matches the outfit. The watch matches the color of your outfit. It matches the outfit. The watch matches the outfit. It's a watch that has a full calculator keyboard on it, it looks like. Seth, do you wanna go back and look at the size of the holes?

Starting point is 00:35:33 That was something Yhorm was interested in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, you guys definitely did yourselves a solid with the size of the holes. Hey, you don't know! It's implying that you don't put the ball through. I think those boxes are rattling around. If it was Yhorm and I was guessing,

Starting point is 00:35:50 I would know if it was accurate as discussed. But you, Seth, I know, don't know. I don't know. All right, so the watch is really beautiful. My God, it's so funny. It's fucking great. God damn it, that Casio. Casio. The illuminator.

Starting point is 00:36:03 Now, of course, I do have a question here. Your watch goes off. You set an alarm for 1 18 in the afternoon on Mother's Day. That's right. That's when I get up. Oh, I'm pretty sure 1 18 is when that watch was broken and frozen. So an alarm goes off that reminds you that it's Mother's

Starting point is 00:36:22 Day, but also that it's too late to buy a present. So you set an alarm too late to be able to do anything about it. Yeah, it might be 1 18 a.m. That makes complete sense to me, dude, that all tracks. I also want to note that you, I want to play it from this moment of the watch going on. You realize it's Mother's Day and you haven't bought anything and Justin is sort of, has empathy for you.

Starting point is 00:36:44 And then like about two thirds through it, he then realizes the same has happened for him. He doesn't right away. He also forgot, yeah. Lawless character logic, all of this. Oh, dang. What is it, dawg? I forgot it's Mother's Day.

Starting point is 00:36:57 Didn't get a gift for her. Other plans got in the way. She'll be so disappointed. Damn, I forgot it too. This could have been avoided. What the hell are we gonna do? The plans that got in the way were that they were in jail for five years. They got arrested. Other plans got in the way. They were in jail. They got arrested for putting their dicks in boxes. So we have the first of many both looking at the

Starting point is 00:37:18 camera lens at the exact same time on what are we gonna do. Yeah, so you're really aware that a camera's here. And then this is just beautiful, I'm gonna say Keev editing here, of just, like, hard cut to them working out in the gym in bright neon outfits as the drums drop in, and that'd be obviously awesome. And he's holding your feet, you're doing setups, and you're explaining the situation.

Starting point is 00:37:39 Yeah. And we hear really why both of your mothers are maybe in need of a lover. Well, we'll hear, we'll let you guys explain it. Yeah, also working out in full, like, windbreaker. And you're wearing, like, what do you call those, stonewashed jeans? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:37:53 But with the sleeveless hoodie, which I forgot was a part of this, but does track. Is he wearing those, like, skateboard pants, the zumbas or... Do you say cold, Andy? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. -♪ What up, me and a boy -♪ What the hell are we gonna do? My mom's been so alone ever since my daddy left. No one to hold her tight...

Starting point is 00:38:12 Patti Clarkson. -♪ I know just what you mean My mom's been so sad... Susan Sarandon. Yes. -♪ My dad can't satisfy her in the bedroom ever since he passed away. Yeah, okay, so... Oh...

Starting point is 00:38:24 Timberlake's daddy left his mom. That's cold. in the bedroom ever since he passed away. Yeah, okay, so... Oh... Timberlake's daddy left his mom. That's cold. My mom can't be satisfied by my dad in the bedroom ever since he passed away. When you say he passed away, you then make the international gesture for going to bed. Right, yeah, he's passed.

Starting point is 00:38:39 You definitely do, like he went to sleep. Says, like, rock-a-bye, baby. Ugh. Cold, I really love cold. Cold is good. Yeah, yeah, he left her cold. Cold. Yeah, and then we see, this is the audience revealing who will be playing your mothers in this, and it is Patti Clarkson and Susan Sarandon.

Starting point is 00:38:57 And how did that come to pass? I think it was like, we asked talent who was around that would be super exciting, and they said both those names. We were also like, who should look like they could be my and Justin's mom? Did Patti live in the, was she just in the, because I, Susan obviously is the city. Yeah, she strikes me as New York City. They both are.

Starting point is 00:39:19 I think they're both New York. They were certainly at that time. Yeah. And we were like, yeah, I mean, it's like how we always were with everything. We're like, sure. And then it's Justin, so everyone's just like, sure. Right.

Starting point is 00:39:31 Oh my god, they were both so great to work with, too. They were just so awesome. They're both so great, and they were both so much fun in such great hangs. And they look amazing, and they were hilarious in it. Their outfits are great. Yeah. Pretty sexy ladies.

Starting point is 00:39:43 They're having a lot of fun. Yeah. Also, Patty's really having fun being like sexy in some real like mom outfits. Yeah, she's like pretending to be dowdy. She's in the park. I'd like to know we're 52 seconds in and I'm pretty sure the reveal is just a minute. Like it's crazy how fast you guys lay out the premise of this and I do think it speaks to what Yorma was saying. Like it moves so fast. You're getting a lot of details in.

Starting point is 00:40:07 By the way, so 52 seconds in, but not of the song. There's a whole bunch of- Right, preamble. Yeah. So that, yeah, that's a great point. Where does the music even start there? I think that we maybe get to it in like 30 seconds. Yeah, your watch goes off at 21 seconds.

Starting point is 00:40:20 So we're 31 seconds in at this point. Yeah, this is efficient. And we have decided that you guys, Forgot Mother's Day, one of your dads left and another dad is dead. And neither of your moms are satisfied sexually. Yes, yes. That's in 30 seconds.

Starting point is 00:40:34 It's a lot of back-threatening. And we're already into like our fourth or fifth location or setup. And this next outfit is fucking great. Like, it's just like there's a metallic fucking... It looks like it's made of rayon, which by the way was a big thing for us growing up junior high. You guys both have tiny thin little chains as well,

Starting point is 00:40:51 which was also what we were in junior high. Yeah. Which I think Justin related to as well. How would you describe this kind of shirt? Like what is this? It's like a rayon button up. Yeah. It's like acetate or rayon.

Starting point is 00:41:01 Yeah. But what is the pattern? Like what do you even call that? Just of the era? Yeah, it's like paisley or rayon. But what is the pattern? Like, what do you even call that? Just of the era? Yeah, it's like paisley adjacent or something. Yeah, yeah, like color me bad would wear it. It's just early 90s, yeah. I wanna say both of you guys,

Starting point is 00:41:13 both of the dick in the box guys are idiots. Right. With that said, you're very clearly the dumb one, Andy. Oh, for sure. Like, you guys are both so dumb, and you are clearly the dumb one. Oh, yeah. Brainy go bye-bye on my guy. The freeze frame we have right now.

Starting point is 00:41:33 Kev, if you could just pop on your phone just a photo so we can put in the show notes of the moment. Like, this is a dumb guy having it. This is a dumb guy thinking he has a good idea. Exactly. This is totally Blizzard Man, like, this is a dumb guy thinking he has a good idea. Exactly, this is totally Blizzard, man. Like just jaw on the floor. We love that, we love that move. Like Dodo's so confident.

Starting point is 00:41:51 Just mouth breather. Like I'm about to blow your mind. All right, so now this is, you guys have your sandwiches and you're basically coming to the conclusion about how you're gonna fix Mother's Day. Yes. And the fact that you don gonna fix Mother's Day. Yes. And the fact that you don't have gifts. Here we go.

Starting point is 00:42:07 Roast beef flopping. Justin swirls his roast beef on the top of his head. All right, so we're formulating the plan there. And I mean, this is not important to anyone but me, but I don't remember if we were like, pull the roast beef out so it flails around a lot or if it just started happening. We did a little, a tiny bit, but it was also happening. I think it was a little column, a column beyond that. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:42:37 But certainly nobody was allowed to tuck the beef back in. No, for sure. I mean, yeah, once you get that beef. But I will say, I will say for a shot reverse shot, two guys sitting I mean, yeah, once you get that beef swirl. No, but I will say, for a shot reverse shot, two guys sitting by a little fountain, that is way more entertaining than it should be. Like, there's nothing happening really with the shots, and you're like, this is great. I really like these fucking guys.

Starting point is 00:42:58 And again, like, he's such a good dancer that it does look like long practice choreography what he's doing with the sandwich in the roast beef Yes, little twirl. Yeah, it's like watching like a whatever like a baton major or whatever you call those people It's time for a switcheroo. You know, he's got yeah So now we know switcheroo, but I still don't think the audience knows what this means this switcheroo I accept you did so what do you say break it off? What do you say? We break them off show how much they really mean

Starting point is 00:43:23 Yeah, but I don't know if a lot of the audience knew what break them off meant. Yeah, certainly I think a guy. You think so? You think a lot of us, as an audience, was like, ah, yeah. I think that they're ready to go. But there's next point. So again, you know, the music's triumphant. You guys are out by the bridge and just here we go. I'm a mother lover, you're a mother lover. We should f*** each other's mothers, f*** each other's mothers. I'm sure that when you came out of the bed, you take no doubt that f*** is crazy. F*** each other's mothers. Okay.

Starting point is 00:43:57 Alright. So, clean. Could have easily just gotten out there. But then we reveal it's a double chorus. It is a double chorus. I actually forgot. It's a double chorus. I stopped thinking the chorus was over, but it's a double chorus. It is a double chorus. I actually forgot, I stopped thinking the chorus was over, but it is a double chorus. I pulled up. You can easily go, fuck each other's moms,

Starting point is 00:44:11 and then go right into the next verse, but no. So should we hear the rest of the chorus? Well, I think this is a good moment to just mention, like, I'll push in that lady where you came out as a baby. I think was the moment that my mom was like, I really dislike this song. This is one of the ones that she hated the most, which I was a little surprised by. Matthew Feeney Mother Lover is one of our songs that has

Starting point is 00:44:33 a lot of stuff that I would normally say is just inexcusable and is so gross in a way that I don't even really enjoy personally. And yet for some reason in this context, musically the way it is, and because it's these guys, I do like it. It's that they're so dumb. It's that they're so beyond dumb that you're like, it's fine. I think it really helps that it's also like Patty and Susan. Right.

Starting point is 00:44:57 I like that it's them and not like cast members of ours aged up. Right. You know? Like Fred and you. Right. Yeah. I don't think Fred and you. Right. Yeah. I don't think anybody likes that. I also want to, I think for everybody listening, you might worry that slang has changed.

Starting point is 00:45:11 I don't think anybody, forget the baby half of that couplet, ever said, like, I'm going to push in that lady. Right? I don't know about that. I don't know about that. Push in that lady? No, that's like push my seat in her bush level. That's right. Cody Chesnut stuff. Pushing L.A.? No, that's like, push my seed in her bush, like, level graphic. That's right.

Starting point is 00:45:27 Yeah, Cody Chesnut stuff. Cody Chesnut. And then obviously did it again with The Roots, you know. And that one actually, I think, had more commercial success. What's up, Amir? Oh, while we're talking about Amir, because we know he's a listener, you want to ask Quaid what he's cooking? Oh, Quaid, what do you got on that stovetop right now?

Starting point is 00:45:43 Let's see what the Quaid is cooking. Quaid-o. You make an Alphabits, dude? Yes. Hey, in the, like, I can't believe what an article decided to pull out of the last episode. Somebody wrote a headline of, like, Great Balls of Fire was Jack Quaid's, like, the soundtrack of his growing up.

Starting point is 00:46:02 Uh, you know, any promo for the pod is just a blessing. It's just a blessing. But somebody, somebody sent me a screen on, like, the soundtrack of his growing up. You know, any promo for the pod is just a blessing. It's just a blessing. But somebody sent me a screen on, like, social media. They sent me a screenshot. They said, I was so excited to share this with the pod, not realizing that it came from the pod. Like, they saw a headline. And they were like, oh, my god, Lonely Island guys

Starting point is 00:46:20 are going to love to hear this. That's really funny. All right, so second half of the first chorus. -♪ It's every mother's day, it's a mother's night And doing it is wrong, I don't want to be right I'm calling on you, because I can do it myself So me and like a brother, so be my mother lover -♪ Yes, okay. Another edit I love is when you put your fingers up

Starting point is 00:46:43 and it cuts to you on the roast beef spot and your fingers are up as well. I love that it matches the choreography in a different shot. I was going to say, I think Every Mother's Day Needs a Mother's Night is one of the first things I wrote down for this premise. Yeah, beautiful. It's very good. It's very, very good. I think so.

Starting point is 00:47:01 The cutaways in the chorus of the moms, I remember feeling were always a little subpar because we kind of rushed through them. So just the fact that Patty's like leaning against a trash can looking sexy. It's like a bit, bit rushed. I would argue everyone would have guessed we did that on purpose. Yeah. Yeah, well, now they know.

Starting point is 00:47:22 Because it is funny, don't you think? I mean, we did. We did do it on purpose. It was just like, sit, no, because it is funny. Don't you think I mean we did we did do on purpose It was just like I said over here smell this flower I do and again that moment where Susan Sarandon walks by and you guys are standing in sort of a alcove Yeah, cuz you're showing her off to Justin. Yes. Yes, and it's it's very I mean I wouldn't dare to to actually really say this but it's you know,, New York, 90s, like, do the right thing vibes almost. I'm like, yo, check her out.

Starting point is 00:47:49 Like, yes, please. I mean, let's be more fair. It's probably more like house party. Yeah. It's also definitely weird that she doesn't see the two of you in the alcove. Yeah, well, it's magical realism. Oh, that's it. Good to know. That's like the size of those holes in the box. That's magical realism.

Starting point is 00:48:07 Per what? What are you basing that on? All right. Now we see Patty in bed looking for Lorne as we've established... A beautiful silk necklace. Yeah, for Lorne, the AI might transcribe that as she's looking for Lorne Michaels. She's looking for Lorne Michaels. Well, I assumed in this, Lorne was your dad who left her.

Starting point is 00:48:28 Well, you added like a hiccup in the word. I'm just saying. I did, I did. I'm late, I kept waiting for your mom but you're almost lube and roses. People are groaning before the punchline even comes. Well, you do hold up lube and roses. But I haven't said it yet.

Starting point is 00:48:42 They start going, ah! I know, but they start going, yeah. There's so much looking into the camera, impressing the audience with like, look at this lube, look at these roses. We're bringing back Keev and Yorm's fake magazine that they were trying to get. Oh, in the cut. The records were up in the cut. I believe in the cut. And then it is funny, just a digital camera, as good as the watch, I would say, that digital

Starting point is 00:49:06 camera. People are really into it right now, and it keeps getting better. YORM line. We are so cool and thoughtful is 100% YORM. Wait, what is we are so cool? There's two lines that I know for 100% in the song are you are. One is, we are so cool and thoughtful.

Starting point is 00:49:27 The other one is, give it to my mom, did-did-did-did-did-did-doggy style. Well, I'm really excited to get to that line, because there's a weird shift when that line happens. Because you guys first start singing what you're going to do to the other one's mom. Then you all of a sudden are telling him what to do with your mom, which is so much worse. Yeah, it's much worse. Like, the first one's mom, then you all of a sudden are telling him what to do with your mom. What to do with me.

Starting point is 00:49:45 Which is so much worse. Yeah, it's much worse. Like the first one is terrible. Yes. But it's like 10X worse that now you're giving him no's. Yes, Yhorm loves like a, and your hairy butt. I like it right to the point. Right to the point.

Starting point is 00:49:59 What if it was like really pristine all the way through and then you just fucked off this end part, that's a good Yor move. And it truly does work. Here's the thing, it's also similar to our don't give a honk slash punch you in the jeans guys in that it's dumb guys agreeing with each other, which I always like as a move of being like,

Starting point is 00:50:18 that's a great idea. Yeah, nobody has any. It's like you're testing each other's limits. Yeah, exactly. Misguided camaraderie. Yeah, I don't know nobody has any. It's like you're testing each other's limits. Yeah, exactly. Misguided camaraderie. Yeah. I don't know if it's misguided. I think these guys, I think they need each other

Starting point is 00:50:30 and I'm really happy they're friends. Well, if outsider might find it misguided was what I meant. Yeah, right, right. They think they're steering each other right. All right, here we go. I'ma be the syrup, she could be my waffle. Show me, yeah. My mama loves bubble back with jam Camomile. Straight up.

Starting point is 00:50:45 Give it to my mom. Do do do do do doggy style. I forgot the other thing is that the setup to doggy style is Camomile. Camomile, yeah. So basically like Justin saying, here's what my mom's into, bubble baths, Camomile. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:50:59 And then you're just like, my mom's filthy. Well, no, it's just what I want him to do for her. Yeah, it's a gift. It's a Mother's Day gift. That's what she needs. But if chamomile really, like almost, it's a wonderful sleight of hand that you don't think something that graphic is coming.

Starting point is 00:51:19 It sounds like we're setting up a very specific triple syllable rhyme. Yeah, and it's just that you're gonna make... And then it's just... You're gonna make doggy 11 syllables. Also, the shot that was chosen for me doing that line, I'm like way too close to the camera, kind of falling out of focus.

Starting point is 00:51:35 It's very frenetic. I'm gonna watch it again. You're right. ["Straight Up"] Justin not moving at all. Like up. Give it to my mom. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do of admits you come up, take stock of this moment, and then just give a real nod, like this could not be going better. It looks like Andy's just going to get a snack in his own kitchen. That's what I was gonna say, I think I'm coming in for a cup or something. Can we run that back Seth?

Starting point is 00:52:12 Yeah, let's run it back. Andy's going in for like a Sunny D or something. Yeah. Yeah. He's going to grab a brogher or something. Yeah. It's a Sunny D. It does seem like- Definitely going in to get sunny D out of a drawer fridge.

Starting point is 00:52:31 And you way too late in the process realize that your best friend and your mom are sitting on the counter right in front of you. You're like, oh, I like this.

That's just good good. I'm talking about movies where Jason Statham saves the day or a lifetime thriller about a killer fight instructor, or basically any 80s movie set in the near future. Please don't say that they covered Rad on this podcast

Starting point is 00:55:06 because it's one of the best movies ever made. So if then you answered yes to the above, you'll love how did this get made. Comedians Paul Scheer, love him. June Diane Raphael, killer. This is killer squad so far. And Jason Manzoukas unpacked the very best of the worst films ever made. Did they do Deathbed yet? The Patton Oswalt joke? I don't know. I haven't listened to that episode. They recently covered big budget superhero flops, Craven and Hunter, and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I also hope that they didn't cover Land of the Lost,

Makes sense. Out of movies that don't. We're coming up on what I like to call, I can't decide if it's, is it Laser Cats? Is it Andy's Corona ad?

Starting point is 00:56:38 But it is definitely two people in chairs at the beach. Oh, God, this might be the, is it the same painted backdrop that we used for LaserCast? No, this was new for this. Or was this green screen? Or was this full green screen? No, this was a backdrop. It was a backdrop, right? This is a backdrop.

Starting point is 00:56:53 Yeah, it seems pretty and painted. Yep, and we shot it on the... What is now your stage, Seth? It was the Fallon stage. Oh, really? You shot it over and down? Yeah. H-E?

Starting point is 00:57:02 Yeah. And also the diddy-doddy style shot was there. If you look at the background, I think it's kind of like smoked out on that stage.E.? Yeah. And also the D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D The choreography now is... Yeah, you guys are miming pregnancy. Making the shape of a pregnant belly. It's just like, if you were confused at all. So vile. Uh, only one shot, as I can tell. There's two shots I love in this, Andy, because we only see him once.

Starting point is 00:57:34 You with Patty on a tandem bike. Uh, we go back to it maybe in the breakdown twice. I think we hit it twice. But yes, we shot the whole song on that tandem bike and then only used it. And I remember laughing in edit about how little we had used it. But it's really, I mean, it's fun to know that that meant that you put Patty in the back of a tandem bicycle

Starting point is 00:57:53 and you were physically biking her around. Were you on a, you must've been on a flatbed? I wanna say process trailer. Okay. Can we see it? I thought we actually did it, but. Maybe we did it. You think you actually biked with her? I don't think we did. Can we see? I think thought we actually did it, but maybe we did it you think you actually bites with it I don't think we did. Well, can we can we see I think it was a process trailer

Starting point is 00:58:08 You're all right. I'm gonna play it again. I feel like you and I did that while a key was editing Oh, yeah, definitely process. Is that the only time we use it is break it down Also look at how good an actor Patty Clarksonson is. She's just loving it. Just enjoying the day. You're talking to the camera, and she is just wearing a bike helmet, looking up at the trees. I also like to think that part of you seducing her is you've showed up in a tandem bike, but she's still putting safety first. Oh, you gotta wear the helmet.

Starting point is 00:58:38 Yeah, because you're not wearing a helmet, but she's like, I'm gonna wear a helmet. She decided that her character was, like, on the straight and narrow. She was like a... I mean, like a suburban... Yeah, she was a good helmet. She decided that her character was like on the straight and narrow. She was like a, how do you, I mean like a suburban. Yeah, she was a good mom. She's just like a regular. But totally into it. Like there's no doubt on her face.

Starting point is 00:58:52 Like a little country club, I think she even said. She's like a little country club. I also like that you are not dressed for biking on this one. Like for the gym you dress up, but for this one you're wearing like a full suit. This dude does not sacrifice style for comfort, ever. Although there's one coming up that's my second, I think only one shot, where it's maybe my favorite outfit you were in the whole thing.

Starting point is 00:59:12 Which is on the tennis courts. Oh, well, yes. All right, so here we go. Now we're going to break it down. So this is the break it down. Break it down, it would be my honor to be your new stepfather. It would be my honor to be your new stepfather. That's bad, he's skipping.

Starting point is 00:59:21 Yeah, she's doing another great cutaway. It would be my honor to be your new stepfather. It would be my honor to be your new stepfather. She's bad, he's skipping. Yeah. She's doing another great cutaway. I'm just gonna take a second here, halfway through that. That's pinnacle Timberlake, his delivery of that line. The, it would be my father.

Starting point is 00:59:38 It's just, it never, it is joyful noise to me every time I hear it. Yeah, yeah. It's also, he's so good at singing, we just said the same line twice. Yeah, yeah. It's also he's so good at singing, we just said the same line twice. Yeah, right. You know what I mean? You're like, oh, now I like it. It is very much him, though. Like, like, right?

Starting point is 00:59:53 Like, I feel like when I hear that, I'm like, only Justin. That's what I mean. Like, there's no, right, no imitators. It is just the most Justin line, and it's so funny, and yet at the same time, deeply beautiful. And then these next two lines, this might be my favorite couplet of the entire mother-lover. It's so dark.

Starting point is 01:00:14 Mother, make me another brother. Jam! I'm gonna be your mother, I'll never use a rubber. Oh! Oh! Like, ah, those are filthy lines. Filthy, but also we got jam in there, which is like from the jump with Justin, we were like, Teddy's jam, that whole thing.

Starting point is 01:00:31 Jam, oh, jam. Yeah. He's like, I'm getting the word jam into this song, and we found the right spot for it. When did he, did he say it at the end of it? Is that when he said it? It's in the middle. It's right in the middle of the run that I'm doing.

Starting point is 01:00:44 Right in the middle, yeah. All right, hold on, of the run that I'm doing. Right in the middle. All right, hold on. Let me... He goes, Jam. Give me another brother. Jam! Jam! It's just a lot happening. Explain Jam.

Starting point is 01:00:56 I mean, it was a moment. It's like New Jack swing moment. There were multiple songs where Jam was said a lot, is my recollection. I feel like it was only like about a year or two. You know, so it was a little bit of a blip, but it was a great blip. Yeah. I mean, the band Guy had a song called Teddy's Jam. Yeah. Which is the main reference.

Starting point is 01:01:15 And then I think probably there's a bunch more New Jack swing songs with jam in it. So, again, I would have said I've watched this a hundred times, and only today did I realize that Justin's on a picnic with Susan Sarandon. You've got, like, the nicest picnic basket behind you. What are they reading? Dude, what is that?

Starting point is 01:01:33 They're reading, Looking Deep, Terry Bradshaw's autobiography. I've never noticed that. Literally, I've never noticed it, for our listeners. Never known at all that they were reading Terry Bradshaw's book. Looking Deep by Terry Bradshaw. Again, listeners don't know, nobody loves The Steelers more than me. It's like you did it as a gift to me, but I only realized.

Starting point is 01:01:57 Fucking hell. Well, you know what's nice about this is that there's a lot of foreplay. These guys aren't just hopping in the sheets. They're fucking going on picnics, reading books out loud to each other. Yeah, it's Mother's Day. It's gotta be like meaningful and appreciative, you know? Yeah, getting it all warmed up.

Starting point is 01:02:13 Okay, I don't know if you need to say it that way. I also wanna say, I think Looking Deep is Terry Bradshaw's second book. Right. After Man of Steel. After Man of Steel, yeah. That's what I was gonna guess. Right. After Man of Steel. After Man of Steel, yeah. That's what I was gonna guess, that it was Man of Steel. Yeah. Terry Bradshaw has written a lot of books, guys.

Starting point is 01:02:30 What's your favorite one? Would you say it's the Bradshaw Family Cookbook? Probably keep it simple. Okay. You kept it simple by choosing that. Yeah. Way in, in the comments. I do think the Terry Bradshaw Family Cookbook shouldn't... don't just overlook that.

Starting point is 01:02:44 You wanna know my favorite? It's only a game. Wait, no, don't. You got to move that back up. Wait, don't get off the page so he needs to read the title. Yeah, my favorite. No, Seth, you're covering it now. Obviously, my favorite is New England tree fruit management.

Starting point is 01:02:57 I think that's a different Terry Bradshaw. Nope. That's them. That's them, Liam. By the way, I forgot I was sharing the screen and I'm like, how's Andy getting all this? You're telling me that your favorite Terry Bradshaw, the ex-quarterback for the Steelers,

Starting point is 01:03:17 isn't New England Tree Fruit Management? There's a reason it's out of stock, Seth. It'd be so funny if I then open New England Tree Fruit Management Guide, which was listed and it was just like, this book's terrible. I don't think Terry Brachon knows anything. Zero stars. I'm in New England right now, guys. And I perked up in a minute and he said it.

Starting point is 01:03:38 I was like, yeah, I got to get that. He's like, I want to manage fruit in New England. All right, here we go. All right, yeah, keep going. So like, while I'm in your mother is so disgusting. Like the phrasing is so vile and yet everyone, well not everyone, Jorm's mom certainly didn't enjoy it. No, she was there.

Starting point is 01:03:56 But like we got away with it, I think. I think you did. Do we still? I don't know. I also think the, I think that the end of the song has a lot of mom positivity. Yeah positivity in a way that makes it clear that this is a, I mean, this sounds crazy to say, but I was like, oh, these guys love their moms.

Starting point is 01:04:13 They really do. They really do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do.

Starting point is 01:04:18 They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do.

Starting point is 01:04:22 They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do think we recorded some with you riding the bike. All right. Maybe best, I mean, 100% best physical gag.

Starting point is 01:04:28 The picture on the bed stand. The picture. I agree. It's my favorite thing in the video, maybe. So Andy is about to get with Patty. Patty reaches over. There's a picture. The characters.

Starting point is 01:04:39 Yes. There's a picture of her son on the bed stand. She flips it over. Yeah. Like, we don't want this looking at us. Tasteful, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Her face at the end.

Starting point is 01:04:53 She thinks that's bad. Ooh, you bad. So Andy shakes a little finger after she flips over Justin and then he puts it back up. Andy wants Justin to watch. And then Patty does give him a look like, ooh, you bad. But like, but you bad, but you good.

Starting point is 01:05:09 And now, now we're just enjoying a... But wait, wait. I mean, this is why it's, I do wish we had Keev. I feel like maybe the idea for this shot originally was just the first half of it. Yes. I'm pretty sure that that is... And then on set, it somehow was suggested that I flip it back up.

Starting point is 01:05:28 And I don't remember by whom, but I do remember being like, ooh, that's significantly funnier. It's killer. I think that is right. Yeah. Also, it is a real reminder that she is aware he is your friend. And also aware that you are eerily close with him to the point that you want to see a picture of him

Starting point is 01:05:47 while you're having sex with his mother. Yeah, in many ways, like we're doing it for each other's moms, we're also doing it for each other, as stated. Another great outfit here. This is good stuff. Yeah, this is you guys just dressed up, you look great. You guys are wearing like white suits with, you're wearing a black shirt with white polka dots.

Starting point is 01:06:04 We're also in a hazed out mist. A lot of atmosphere in this one. They blessed us both with a gift of life. She brought you in a spiritual house. Drinking out of a fountain. Okay. So musically maybe my favorite moment in it is when it doubles down and hits, they blessed us both with a gift of life. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:06:26 She brought you in this world so I'm a sexier, right? I love, this is the second best idea we've ever had. Well, yeah. That was, I remember us being very happy to put that in. I was just like, we're never going to live up to the first. But even they, who have been nothing but white hot enthusiastic this whole song, even they know it was a better idea to put their dicks in boxes.

Starting point is 01:06:47 I think they got arrested for it. They're riding and dying on that being their best idea. So hardcore. This is the second best idea that we ever had. The choice can be no more. This dance too. We were motherless. Okay, right at the end. That is my favorite dance of all the dick in a box dances.

Starting point is 01:07:11 It's Justin again, dude. Justin was like, there's got to be a new signature dance for this. It's like a frozen leg up in the air and then you guys moving your hands down. Rocking back and forth. He's like, it has to be so bad. It's like sort of a robot thing, or I don't even know what to compare it to. It's fucking great. It's really terrible. He's a funny, funny man.

Starting point is 01:07:31 It was just a great idea. It's so fucking wack. I love that it's Justin, the man who spent like so many, like thousands of, tens of thousands of hours choreographing and fucking doing crazy... Tens of thousands? Well, you know, 10,000 hours, at least 10,000 hours. I mean, guys, professional.

Starting point is 01:07:55 Fucking master, master size. But to come up with that dance too, to have it in his lexicon is very impressive. What a treat. Yeah. I mean, forgive us, we just basically jocked ourselves for the entirety of that, but I do feel proud of it and it was so much fun to make. And cannot tell you the relief we felt when it worked. Yeah. And you knew right away.

Starting point is 01:08:17 Like to take that big of a swing, we were scared shitless. And it's still one of the moments I felt the happiest at SNL was when this aired and worked. Yeah. You know, more or less. It was immediately iconic and I remember Patty and Susan, I believe, were both there in the studio to watch it. Yes.

Starting point is 01:08:36 And that was just so cool because I think we all would have been just happy to see them if they hadn't been in this. That's right. You know, so to have two superstars hanging around and then also having them be a part of this massive win for you guys was really something. It was super fun. When they saw it, that was when they

Starting point is 01:08:53 learned the premise of what the- Oh, so you hadn't told them, Yoram? No, no, no, no. Are you kidding? There's no way they would have said yes. I remember Patty came to the after party and was like partying, like smashing martinis, just a treat. I don't remember if Susan did or didn't, but it was very fun. Bless their hearts. Thank you again to them out there in the universe.

Starting point is 01:09:12 It was so wonderful of them to do that with us. Yeah, I mean, I really... And I'm not just saying it because I saw that Terry Bracho's second book was in it. I loved watching it today as much as I loved watching it every time. Major Kim's video, right guys? Oh, and we didn't say the tennis. There's a shot of you playing tennis. One shot on a tennis court. Right.

Starting point is 01:09:33 You're in a fantastic tennis outfit of the era. And Patty's behind you, sort of teaching you to do a forehand. Oh, Defo. We knew where our bread was getting buttered. And that outfit stinks like shit. It's so good. Really? Really good. It makes me wanna see those guys skiing. Like I'm sure they have pretty dope skiing outfits.

Starting point is 01:09:52 So obviously I'm hoping there will be some follow-ups on this and then Keev can also chime in a little bit. Yeah, we'll let Keev listen to the time we spent without him and then maybe the next time we pick it up, he can, you know, cause again, I think if this spreads over an episode, I don't think anybody's gonna care. He's gonna be furious. He's gonna be like,

Starting point is 01:10:08 no, no, that is inaccurate. Inaccurate. Um, so, Seth, you like to ask if this is criterion. I do. I feel like I maybe dropped the ball on that a little bit, but come on, right now, is this criterion? I mean, this is the one that won. If this isn't, I don't know what is. I'll say that. Definitely one of our best shorts.

Starting point is 01:10:26 God, we fucking love ourselves. This is so embarrassing. I know. Like, thinking about everything I've said now about positive things about myself and our work, now I feel like I hate myself. Well, hopefully the next one stinks. Hopefully in the next short, you guys did stinks hard. I'm sure it will.

Starting point is 01:10:40 It's a real roller coaster working there. Wait. Oh, next up is Will Ferrell's season finale and My Secret Weapon, Cut On Air. Oh, yeah. The one that didn't air that we do kind of like though. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:10:56 And Mugless. We're definitely going to talk about Mugless. Oh my God. We'll get to talk about my deep-seated anger issues. Do we have time to talk about the episode in general and maybe get into some Seth's Corner? There was only one Seth's Corner. Do you want to sing real quick? Because I went back and watched it and it wasn't my favorite,

Starting point is 01:11:11 but it's interesting. We got to talk about it. Seth's Corner, he just pooh-poohed it, but he's going to talk about what he did that week. Take it away, Seth. It was like the Pirates of the Caribbean Street Performers at Disney World World got a new shipment of props, but it was machine guns.

Starting point is 01:11:31 Then you cut to sort of Captain Phillips sea pirates opening up a box of plastic swords and stuff. Okay. Yeah. Then there was a lot of talking. It was like I'm the Captain Now guy on the phone with FedEx trying to talk about mix-up. Gotcha. And then...

Starting point is 01:11:51 And how did it play, though? Fine. Last sketch of the night. It was not a bad last sketch of the night. Oh, okay. Was it too dark, or like, what did people... Uh, it kinda, it was like a lot of premise, and maybe the air came out of it a little bit faster than you wanted.

Starting point is 01:12:06 Oh, Justin wasn't musical, yes. He wasn't? No, it was Ciara. But was he in one of her songs? Yes, he was on a song with her. Which one? Love Sex Magic. All right, that was a good one.

Starting point is 01:12:18 Introduced by Jessica Biel. There you go. So is there anything else that we want to talk about from the episode, Seth? Yeah, what do you got? There's a Target lady. Yep. Which is just a treat.

Starting point is 01:12:28 And I will say that Timberlake was very good at doing the Target lady vibe. Hey, girlfriend. Hey. So, I strained my neck. How'd you do that, girlfriend? I was pushing a washing machine up a hill when my fashion sandal got caught on a decorative yard prick. Is that not just classic?

Starting point is 01:12:45 There was a Barry Gibb. There was a Barry Gibb talk show. Oh, yeah. I have an opinion that's important. I don't know how passion for matters of that faculty company that frames degrees in your left elbow patches. No, I didn't mean to say that.

Starting point is 01:12:58 I got a degree from the streets of Melbourne, Australia. So help me God, I have a buck knife in my shoe. I will split you open like a softshell crab and wear your carcass like a raincoat. Wear your carcass like a raincoat. Wear your carcass like a raincoat. People were very excited, I think, for the entirety of the show.

Starting point is 01:13:13 Yeah, it was a hot one. Oh, so a fun little note is Chris Pine, Leonard Nimoy, and Zach Quinto were on Update. Another fun note, I wrote it and have no memory. Gentlemen, I've spent many years of my life among trekkers, and they have been some of the greatest years of my life. And while it may take some time, I believe that soon they will find you, Chris,

Starting point is 01:13:35 to be equal to the original Captain Kirk, and you, Zach, to be slightly less than equal to the original Spock. Oh! What? One of the great, great cuts of all time. We're talking McDonald's? Michael McDonald's McDonald's.

Starting point is 01:13:48 Yeah, it happened, it got cut. Did it happen twice or this is the time that we've always been building up to? I think this is, Kev, can you tell us? I know we've talked about, we've talked about Michael McDonald's McDonald's on this podcast. I don't know, but I think this might be the first time. Oh no, this is the second time. But you know, that certainly... They tried it again and it got cut again.

Starting point is 01:14:07 It got cut again. Which is maybe why I have such a thorn in my foot about it. You guys, I have it, because I asked Yonks for it, so I could play it for you guys if you wanna see it. Do you have it right now? I do have it right now. Okay, share screen and let's just watch it. To reason away.

Starting point is 01:14:23 Hi, I'm singer-songwriter Michael McDonald. Share screen and let's just watch it. ["Reason to Win"] Hi, I'm singer-songwriter Michael McDonald. That's right, it's me. You know, what a fool believes is that you can't find delicious hamburgers for a reasonable price, but I'm no fool. That's why I opened my own fast food restaurant. Guess what it's called?

Starting point is 01:14:41 McDonald's. The food is fast. The prices are fantastic. But recently it was brought to my attention that there's already a fast food restaurant called McDonald's. In fact my friends were pretty shocked that I'd never heard of it. But hey, my last name is McDonald's. So legally I'm in the clear. Or so I thought the never-ending lawsuits Please stop pressing charges I'm currently in a costly court case with the other McDonalds

Starting point is 01:15:14 They're a pretty large corporation and these legal fees are really doing a number on my bank account. That's right My life is a nightmare We also have chicken and grilled juice Oh, man. Okay, so it has some gullies. It has some gullies, but I remember it so well. For how much I love it, you watch it and you kind of say, -"Yeah, I get why we didn't do it." -"I get why we didn't."

Starting point is 01:15:42 That being said, watching it again also made me happy all over again, because I love it so much. I love it so much. But on a really hot show where everything's killing and there's no downbeats, you can see how it needed a little bit more work. Well, the problem, and again, you said it needed more work, and it should be noted it's been like 18 months since they tried it once,

Starting point is 01:16:01 and they definitely didn't write a single new line. Yeah, yeah, that's fair. That's very fair. Now, who's that, Colin Jost? That's Colin Jost. But Colin Jost, I do remember, we've talked about this, like we pitched lines about what Michael McDonald could sing about the legal trouble he was in due to the fact that he opened a hamburger restaurant called Michael McDonald's and it's the hardest Emily Spivey ever laughed in her life. And we printed them all out. We printed them all out and framed it for her on her last show. Literally every joke we pitched.

Starting point is 01:16:28 But yeah, like it's such a dense premise that Michael McDonald's opened his own McDonald's and then most of the lines are about, he's in just deep legal trouble. But like it's very funny, but the actual leading like detail of the piece is that Justin sounds fucking exactly like him and incredible. So it's also that SNL thing of like, when someone can sing so well and the impression is so on point, it takes it to another dimension.

Starting point is 01:16:58 Yes, but I also feel like it's almost so good that people are like, wait, what? They just want to enjoy it. And like, the premise is like too much for them. Right, fair enough. Yeah. Also, maybe just that audience doesn't know Michael McDonald the same way a lot of other people. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 01:17:16 Like, when Ariana Grande's doing Celine Dion or Bruno Mars is doing that sketch where he's like playing all the different pop songs and stuff and sounds exactly like them. I think everyone knows every reference because it's like right down the middle of this moment stuff. I mean, I guess Celine Dion. I don't know, I can't speak to that.

Starting point is 01:17:33 But... But Celine Dion had just been in a NFL ad when she did that, so... Super Bowl, no less. Yeah, right. Which actually says, I don't know if you know this, is quite high viewership. The Super Bowl?

Starting point is 01:17:45 Oh, yeah. Oh, that's good for them. Yep. That's all right. That's me making that noise. They put the time in though, you know, for the Super Bowl. Some of the ads can cost tens of thousands of dollars on them. Seth Lee, I like your readers.

Starting point is 01:17:58 Thank you, bud. I'm feeling pretty good about my readers. Yeah. Um, what else? LAUGHS Um, all right, you guys. Well, congratulations, Anu, on the work you did on Mother Lover. It really is a triumph all these years later. Thank you, Seth Lee. Yes.

Starting point is 01:18:15 And I love you. And I love you. And a happy fourth to you. Yeah. I love Keev. I hope when Keev listens to this, he knows how much we love him. Keev, we love you. Keev, we're talking to you.

Starting point is 01:18:27 You know, this was about one that everybody remembers, but I think the next episode's gonna be really special because it's about one that nobody knows anything about. Ooh, I love that tease. Oh, yeah, that would be fun. I love that too. All right, bye, guys. Bye.

Starting point is 01:18:40 Have fun with your families. Love everybody. Later, Quates.
