Starting point is 00:00:00 Digman's coming out on the 23rd of July. There you go. As kick-ass as I can't wait. Season two, yeah. It's before Naked Guns, so I'm saying mine first, Keev. That's fair. Yeah, as well you should. The 23rd is a Wednesday. It is.
Starting point is 00:00:13 So it's this coming Wednesday. This coming Wednesday. Yeah. Don't be a house-er, guys. Fucking see it. Yeah, don't house out. Yeah, come on. Don't house out. And, you know, once you check out the season premiere, hit us in the tittus.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Let us know what you think, how them jokes landed. Hey gents, how are we? Hi, really good. Every time anybody mentions that they have a bad memory on this pod, I'm just thrilled. I'm so thrilled. That's interesting you started with that because can I? Oh, I interesting. I thought you said you were thrilled,
Starting point is 00:00:45 not that they have a bad memory, but they were remembering something bad. Because there's a takeaway from the last pod, YORM, a lot of people- I don't do research. Think you're a bad person. It's really the feedback, I think maybe a lot of people were on Team YORM
Starting point is 00:01:03 because maybe we bully you a little bit, and now they're all like, oh. Yeah. He's been the... He's the villain. I see. He's like a P.O.S. Yeah. Also, they can probably tell there's a certain amount of glee that I have.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Some people would call this justice. It was a little bit. They're all... I think everybody's like, oh, thank God, those three are keeping them in check. YORM definitely, last last one was like a serial killer that wanted credit. Yeah. He's like, arrest me, Mr. Police man.
Starting point is 00:01:32 It's the level of glee. Yeah, it's the level of glee that I had. I'm like, and then, and then she lost her mug. My dastardly deeds came to fruition. Somebody did write, Jesus, I realize now Yhorm would do a purge if it got a laugh. Yeah. I'm just like Theodore.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I'm the Theodore of the group. Watch out. Really good. Yeah, people are definitely. Although somebody also called this out. Yhorm questionable peen joke steals mugs. Andy hates rat dog. Kiva, I'm sure I'm shady in some way. Seth,
Starting point is 00:02:06 you guys are some of the most ethical men I know. It was a bad episode for me to sort of shout out how you guys are good dudes. That's what makes the joke so funny. That's how low the standard is. Yeah, a couple of quick things before we get into the movie awards. Somebody did say, I can't believe you guys, not one of you said Muglis should be pronounced Mooglis after we spent so much time. I'm on Douglass.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Oh, like Mooglis Hauser. And I do appreciate a missed callback that is pointed out in the chat, so thank you. Or Moogie, I guess. Moogie. Yeah. Moogie Hauser. I have some pretty exciting pod-related news.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Oh, great. Oh, wow. I attended the first ever Cultureuristas Awards last night. And I heard you crushed. Oh, from whom? I heard from Jason Cardin, Darcy Cardin's husband. Oh, wonderful. It was very fun.
Starting point is 00:02:54 I do something on it. Yep, I heard you crushed. It'll broadcast on Bravo. Broadcast on Bravo, early August. But the headline, pod-wise, is, I saw Quedo. Oh! Oh, the real Quedo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Quedo in person. Dashing, tall, charming. Yeah. Just, it was, I mean, he said, righteous kill. It was the first, it was one of my, it was one of my favorite in persons. So it was very sweet. Do you think if Quedo knew he was gonna see you, he would have brought a big old Tupperware of mac and cheese and just been like mowing down on it? I was trying to think of what the joke should be, but that isn't...
Starting point is 00:03:32 So you like podcasts so much you went to an award show that is from a podcast. You know... Does that make you feel like we should be doing the Quedo Awards or...? I think it's just a testament to how much I like Bowen and Matt. You know? Like, they have the one podcast that... Well, honestly though, I showed up because it was going to be on TV. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Okay, yeah, yeah. But also, 2,000 people in the audience, right? Something like that, yeah. It's at the Orpheum downtown, which is a great theater. I got a little sad watching clips from the MTV Movie Awards, because I was thinking, this used to be an awesome platform for comedy, cable television used to be just the hugest deal in the world, right? Like as big as network television to do the MTV Movie Awards.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Yeah. Then I got happy again because I was like, oh, I'm sorry this platform doesn't exist in the same way anymore. Then I remembered that like Matt and Bowen, they figured it out. Different people are figuring out ways to still do cool-ass stuff. Yes. By the way, such a fun time. The show they put on was just pure joy. I've been loving just watching the announcement videos on their Instagram.
Starting point is 00:04:30 The announcement videos are so funny every year. The way they read them serious but then have genuine laughter is maybe my favorite thing. Their tone. Yeah, and they're in their nice suits and the music is perfect. It's so funny. The tone is so stinky and wonderful. And just the hyper-specificity. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Can I also mention, in terms of watching fun stuff last night or doing fun stuff, I went to Weird Al's concert in Saratoga Springs, and it blew the doors off. So fun. It was so great. Those videos you sent me and Andy looked incredible. Oh, my God. I do want to see that show. Just introducing your kids to Weird Al is such a, like, just a multi-generational, it's
Starting point is 00:05:09 so hard not to geek out and be like, oh, and did you like hear this line? It's like to your 10-year-old. Introducing them to his work or to him personally? Well, they watched UHF on the way to the venue and then they were just quoting it the whole time. Just being like, just call me Mr. Butterfingers. I don't know, I just was taken back and was great. That's amazing. You said last week a lot, we were trying to figure out why we were in good moods and what were we doing that summer?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Were you going back to the studio? No, that's a year off because Incredibat had just come out in February. So just to set the premise of this episode, which I'm sure the title rated, this is the summer where we did random things because Yoram was doing the MacGruber movie, was going to shoot late in the summer. Me and you were both executive producers on that
Starting point is 00:05:57 and were involved in it to some degree. Then Andy was hosting the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, which was a huge full circle moment. And anybody who has listened to his pod from the beginning would understand why. Don't tell them. Because it started the whole thing. The 2005 awards was the Jimmy Fallon one that got us SNL. And now just four years later, we're back running the whole show.
Starting point is 00:06:22 So it was crazy. It was so fucking exciting. Yeah, we were hyped. So it was crazy. It was so fucking exciting. Yeah, we were hyped. And it was a delight to watch. I remembered the promos were really outstanding and it does speak to a time where, and again, I know, Keev, you always shoot things and make it look like they cost more than they did.
Starting point is 00:06:40 No, but there was money. But like just money and promos. Yeah. I mean, watching those promos, they probably each one of them cost like what five digital shorts cost. I remember being on set of them and I did not direct them. A fellow I had named Jason Carley did. And I remember being on the set of them. I mean, we obviously, me and you, Andy, like, and I'm sure other people on the writing staff with Aukerman, but rewrote them
Starting point is 00:07:03 all, you know? But I remember we would just show up to set and be like damn yeah they're doing this for real and be very excited and the DP was lighting and me and I remember thinking like oh I wish we would light stuff like this sometimes like I remember being very impressed while we were doing them yes I routinely think about the best fight one which is you and Rashida having just a very small, very relatable couple's fight all the time. She says it's just like a, do you want to have an appetizer first? What is that supposed to mean?
Starting point is 00:07:33 Like, why wouldn't I want to have an appetizer? But it's just like, it's just that kind of fight. Best fight. It was also a reminder of the fun of what the MTV Movie Awards were, right? Yeah, exactly. Best fight, best kiss. And so this series of promos would be Andy
Starting point is 00:07:46 sort of sitting in a, you know, a wingback chair and here is a nominee for Best Kiss, Best Fight. And then it would have a dumb title. For these fake movies. Like I remember Knuckle Up was the name. Again, Best Fight and the name of the film was Knuckle Up. So a lot leading you to think it's a fist fight. And then it's just you and Rashida having, like,
Starting point is 00:08:05 a really passive-aggressive couple fight. Oh, yeah, I love that. Thinks a worker all right? Why do you have to fight me on everything? I'm not fighting. I'm just talking. This is not a fight. Fine. It's not a fight. Fine. We're not fighting.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Also, I got a lot of respect for my wife. I got a lot of respect for Ezra, who's, you know, Rashida's partner. Rashida's so fucking hot in these promos, I'm just gonna say it. Damn, dropped it. Drop it. She's a friend. I hope she listens. I hope she hears.
Starting point is 00:08:36 She's a friend. Super hot friend. She fucking glows. She makes... You're saying it the way you would say it to us. To you. Like, hey, bro, you look hot today. She makes you, I think you will understand what I'm getting at, she makes you look like
Starting point is 00:08:47 Frisbee in the two shot. I mean, they were so well shot. That's more than fair. I remember when we were shooting the Rashida and Andy one thinking, wow, these guys should be in a romantic movie together. This looks like a real rom-com. And then you guys did make one together. We did.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Yeah. Well, her and her buddy Will wrote Seless and Jesse Forever and she's a great movie. Exactly. Do you think that the casting was based on Knuckle Up? I'm not 100%. I'm not sure, because she said it to me just like, hey, what do you think of this script from a writing perspective, because we're friends. And then I was like, can I be in it?
Starting point is 00:09:16 -♪ Hahahaha! -♪-The word did get out. Don't try to get a script bounce off Andy. Yeah. He'll cast himself. So here's my thoughts. No notes. Copy in it though. Speaking of though, like how Hollywood works though, right? And how simplistic sometimes that is of like seeing people on screen and then being like,
Starting point is 00:09:38 they should be in a movie together. I remember when we did Natalie's rap that we got calls from producers, I am not gonna name names of who was calling, but they were like, what if Andy and Natalie were in a movie together? You're like, yeah, you saw them on screen and now you have that idea. I like when Yoram says I'm not gonna-
Starting point is 00:09:55 You were gonna be like a Viking and she was- Yeah. I was just gonna say when Yoram says I'm not gonna name names, it implies that he remembers the names. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do remember this one, I'm not gonna tell him. Not gonna say which one.
Starting point is 00:10:07 It was the Northmen, because I was the Viking. Viking, yeah, the Northmen. Yeah. I would love to run through them real quick, because they're all really fun, and they are also on a YouTube, they are more accessible on YouTube than clips from the actual show.
Starting point is 00:10:21 It's because they're on our YouTube, they're on the Lonely Islands YouTube. So you can go and look at these. They're all really fun. The first one is Best Kiss. The name of the movie is Pommel, and it's a gymnastics movie. Andy, you look confused. Do you not remember Pommel?
Starting point is 00:10:34 Do you think you were the first Pommel Horse guy? He went pretty viral at the Olympics this year. Oh, right. Oh, yeah. Do you think he was jacking my stees? Yeah. Just good writing. Yeah, he wore glasses when he went away from the pommel and no glasses and you're not wearing glasses on the pommel. Hold up, hold up, hold up. Pommelworth guy, you jacking my stees?
Starting point is 00:10:55 Look, Keev said it first, I'm just agreeing. Yeah, uh, Keev McGuidng Jr. is your coach. Maybe your dad. You call him dad and then you correct yourself. No, he says that's my, he later says that's my white son. So I think it's confirmed. It seems like he's maybe one of those really hard ass dads who's like, I'm your coach when we're out here. That's right. Don't call me dad.
Starting point is 00:11:15 That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then he gets so proud and overwhelmed with emotion. It's a big moment clearly in the film where he, where he, you know, announces that's my son. You also, it's called Best Kiss. We know you guys are comedy people, and it's a gymnastics scene.
Starting point is 00:11:27 So you're kind of wondering the whole time, are these two gonna kiss? Yeah. And then it's that it's a super slow-mo. As you go over the pommel, you kiss the pommel. Got it. Yeah, you kiss the pommel horse. Got it.
Starting point is 00:11:38 You have no memory, Andy, huh? I do not. Great. Yes. We have too much to get through, so we're not gonna do slow screen share today. Okay. But I will just present the moments just for some memory lane here. It's beautifully shot.
Starting point is 00:11:51 It really does look good, yeah. It does look good. You guys have similar hair, because you're father-son. Because father and son, yeah. Very, very funny Andy running. Yep. Doing a full pommel run. And, uh, and then, yeah, great little kiss on the pommel run.
Starting point is 00:12:09 And then, yeah, great little kiss on the pommel. Look how nice, how well done that is. You do, you and Cuba do have the same hair, which does imply that you are his white son. Yeah, you guys have the same wig on. He's great in it, he's really genuinely great in it. White son, yeah! Then there's a real Andy-like celebrating and crying move that is one of my favorites
Starting point is 00:12:25 right here. This one. A lot of hip thrusty kind of stuff happening. Just like extra credit stuff. Yeah, just like double-jointed shoulders. There's another best fight which is Slaughter Shack. You walk into like a biker bar with a dead deer over your shoulder. And you and Arnett, super tough guys,
Starting point is 00:12:45 and then you have a very child-like slap fight. This one specifically, it never works, but I got inspired by it 10 different times when I was trying to think of movie ideas, being like, how do I make this into a movie? Just the Roadhouse vibe into a comedy movie. There's something about this one, not the specific characters and what they're saying, but where I went.
Starting point is 00:13:07 I think there's an entire tone there. That's our favorite tone. It's in MacGruber and it's in Naked Gun a little bit. But where I'm like, there is something in the truck stop, biker bar. Yeah. I don't know. The more I want. Oh man, you like just hardcore guys and then...
Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah, sleeveless denim vest things where I want a whole movie there. There's also a great moment because at the end there's a crazy tone shift where you guys are like barely fighting and then Hader comes in. Oh, it's Van Helsing. Stabs Arnett, screams, I killed that vampire and Andy throws up. He's Van Helsing. Obviously. A big movie. I think that must have been a movie that vampire, and Andy throws up. He's Van Helsing. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:13:45 A big movie. I think that must have been a movie that year, right? Yeah. Sorry, man. I killed that vampire! Also, the two lines of dialogue that you have with Arnett is he says, I thought I told you to die, and you say, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:14:10 That's the kind of clever stuff I want to get at. That's good writing. These look great. They look great. I mean, I will say the real truly, truly genius one is best male performance in The One Who Dared to Leave. Which is kinda, I mean it's fucking insane. First of all, Andy is in a concentration camp.
Starting point is 00:14:34 We see a swastika to know. So that's a real like, can't do that today. There's a swastika in an ad for the MTV movie. It's a full Holocaust movie. It's a Holocaust movie. Eva Mendes is sort of a Nazi commandant who's doing what happens in every single concentration scene, which is she's about to bring holy hell down on you.
Starting point is 00:14:55 And Andy's move is he's just had it. He's the one who dared to leave. And he stands up and says, I'm out of here, and walks out of the concentration camp. How dare you, insolent boy? You know what? I'm beginning to think you Nazis really suck. I'm outta here.
Starting point is 00:15:28 I'm outta here. He's just fucking nuts. He's just fed up. She's so good in it. She's so good in it. Then you walk by two Nazis at the door, they're subtitled, he looks really mad, we better let him go.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Yeah. You flex on one and he fully flinches. The one who dared to leave. That's the most different... And then even Mendes, we realized she's maybe a little... She's maybe a little in there. Yeah, she's into it. She like holds her heart when you leave.
Starting point is 00:15:58 And then what do I say at the end, when it comes back to the chair? That was not entirely accurate. There it is. That was not entirely accurate. -♪ BANGING MUSIC PLAYING. -♪ There it is. Uh... It's fun watching things that we would never do today, but that are still some, I think, all right, but let's, you know, leave them in the past.
Starting point is 00:16:16 You wouldn't do it today because the present would chill it, but the comedy of it is still fucking rock solid. Uh, oh, this is different. It's not one of the nomination ones. But the first one I watched was Jack Black and Michael Cera as your parents. Oh, yeah, I love that. And it's just really like, it's so subtle. Hi, I'm Jack Black.
Starting point is 00:16:37 And I'm Michael Cera. And that over there is our son, Andy Samberg. He's our son. We love him. Now, I know what you're thinking. How is that possible? What's the biology? What's the physics? Well, don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:16:50 He's our son, and we love him. And we're proud of him. He's touching you. Hey, baby. Boogadaboo, boogadaboo, boogadaboo. Boogadaboo. Oh, boo. Boogadaboo, boogadaboo, boogadaboo.
Starting point is 00:17:01 You're a good son. And this is where it gets really good. Sarah's killing it. Our son Andy is hosting this year's MTV Movie Awards. Boogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-doogie-do And this is where it gets really good. But most importantly, he's our son. He's our only son. He came out of our penises. Our penis. No. Oh! I forgot that I made the beat for that. I like that beat.
Starting point is 00:17:38 God, they're so funny in it. They're so funny in it, and let me just say, it's been a wonderful year for both of them. We've talked about Jack Black. Michael Cera's so great in Phoenician scheme. I don't know if you guys saw it. Yes. Very, very good. And, I mean, I know it's a year ago, but he was so fucking funny in Barbie.
Starting point is 00:17:53 So funny. Yeah, it was really fun watching him in that. He, I'm gonna butcher it, but he came on my show. The last time he was on my show, he was so funny. But he said he lives in Brooklyn, and what he likes about Brooklyn is every time he walks outside, he hears somebody go, hey!
Starting point is 00:18:08 Just like some tiny observation. Like somebody's always just like yelling at somebody else down the street. Now, I don't know if we have to talk about this one, but I just cannot remember. Oh, we did a second Rashida one. This is best villain, and Andy's like a old timey, like tie you to the railroad tracks villain with a big old handlebar mustache, black top hat.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I bet you this was almost an alt where we had... Yeah. We had Rashida, we had the location, we were filming and we were like, let's just try two different ones. Because obviously they're in, it's the same exact place with you guys dressed exactly the same. Oh, there is a basketball. But he's never villainous. It's just... He seemed to like those dogs just fine.
Starting point is 00:18:44 He's clearly a villain and then at the end, Rashida says, you are the best villain. Oh, got it. Because he's not villainous at all. By the way, it then cuts back to Andy who basically says, do you get it? No, he... yeah. I love you so much.
Starting point is 00:18:58 I love you too. You're the best villain. Ooh! You're the best villain. You get it? So the... he was a villain. And everybody was best. And then the last one. This one is an Anne Hathaway one, I believe, right? How many did you guys do? There's a lot. So many. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:19:25 I don't understand. And we did like a huge photo shoot with multiple posters and billboards. There was so much push behind it back then. That's great. That's great. I remember liking all of these. This is best female performance. It's like a period piece and you're dying.
Starting point is 00:19:39 You're an old woman who's dying. And Anne Hathaway is so fucking believable and good. She was really rolling tears. It's nuts. It's crazy. She's this sad person, and then Andy says, like, when I die... Andy is Miss Eloise. I will...
Starting point is 00:19:52 But yeah. Yeah, Eloise was sad. See, guys, when I die, you just look over your shoulder and I'll be there. Yeah. And it's really sweet. And then you do die, and then you disappear, and then you appear over her shoulder as a ghost and she fucking freaks out. I mean, these are solid for promo links.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Every one of them. I mean, they're promos. It's crazy. Also, I remember shooting this... She's also like, watch this reaction here. Hold on. She's happy for you. She's come. Here I am, right over your shoulder. Ah! That kind of scares the ghost too. She's gone. Here I am, right oh. You're being blown away by it. Okay, so like people are really good at acting.
Starting point is 00:20:49 It's really funny too, because, and again, you're playing a woman, so it's different, Andy, and it's full comedy, but you're like, hello, and then she talks and it's like, oh, I fully believe she's sad that you're about to die. Yeah. Okay, well, so then, Andy, are you saying though that when she won the Oscar, like, who gives a shit, right? I thought this was better than her performance in Late Miss, for what it's worth.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Yeah. Because he just got through it a lot faster. If it's easy, then who gives a shit? I'm just like, that song was written before that movie. You know what I mean? This was an original. That's true. That's just where I'm coming from.
Starting point is 00:21:20 She had to be able to access that emotion while staring at you in an old lady wig. Which is harder. Exactly. It's much harder. To me, it seems more challenging. Yeah. She's not playing against Hugh Jackman, like, giving back in a mirror what she's giving
Starting point is 00:21:33 out. Yeah, she was getting jack shit from you. Yeah. Yeah, to roll tears looking at Andy's face has got to be a little bit more difficult. This is a good one. This is only 23 seconds, but just watch it to enjoy Keev. Is this the camera that's going to be in Black and White? And then this is the one that's in the?
Starting point is 00:21:49 Hey, we're just normal guys. And then over here we're rock and roll. Normal. Hey, what's up? We're normal. What's up? We're laughing. Hey, what's up?
Starting point is 00:21:57 We're guys. We're writers. It's MTV. Shouldn't it be coming in? Give me a little more of it. Hey, we are watching NBC. Oh, you're watching MTV. This is PBS.
Starting point is 00:22:08 MTV. Really good. That's really good, Keith. That is great. That's great. Technical improv. Oh, and then one last one is the host, not host, which is, again, you just grabbed it, obviously, in the parking lot.
Starting point is 00:22:21 But it has a real Andy Punch people. Oh, yeah, it's the walking in a frame. Yeah. Oh, X Andy Punch people. Oh, yeah, it's the walking in a frame. Yeah. Oh, X marks the host. Oh, yeah, yeah. More with Jack and everybody and Yoram Beat. Oh, he was, he wanted to be the host. Oh. So nice of these guys to do this.
Starting point is 00:22:39 He's got my number today. He's got me over today. It's nice and awkward. Very extreme activities challenges. All right, so there you go. Fantastic. I have, I not listened to this, but the guy that directed those randomly sent me an email in January, Jason Carley, that was saying he was a fan of this pod.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Oh, that's nice. And that he had a- That you're gonna be like saying, you owe me money, bitch! Maybe. No, and he just was thinking back on how much he enjoyed making them, and how fun it was, and how cool, and blah, blah, blah. And so I had his email, even though we haven't seen him since 2009. So I asked him for, when he did that,
Starting point is 00:23:30 he said, if you need a voice note ever, I'll do one saying my memories of shooting these things. It's amazing. Here we go, baseball. So I did not listen to it, but he sent it to me. Here we go, baseball. So here we go. Jason Carley here. I was the freelance writer
Starting point is 00:23:42 for the MTV Movie Awards promos. I pitched the idea that Andy wanted to win the movie award in every category. So we would make fake for your consideration videos of ridiculous movies that didn't exist. And that's how I found myself in a hotel room in LA with two thirds of the Lonely Island who I was a massive fan of writing and rewriting promo scripts. I wonder if he didn't direct them maybe he just wrote them. I also remember the whole thing being a really big deal to Andy because you guys had gotten your start writing on the movie Awards when Fallon hosted and now he was hosting it was all coming full circle and I was
Starting point is 00:24:22 super pumped to be even a very small part of that. It was definitely Anne career highlight. Well done. That's it. Thanks guys. Love the pod. Later, Quades. I mean, righteous Kale.
Starting point is 00:24:34 That's awesome. Thank you. That was a good later, Quades. We got a later Quades. Somebody said, you should get Arnold to record Love You, Quades for any time somebody leaves the pod early. And I just want to say, like, this isn't a situation where I can keep going back to Arnold. That's what I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:24:51 It's not like we have, like, constant access to Schwarzenegger. Also, imagine if I just was, like, rolling lines with him. And now can I get a Love You Quade? Like, he already had no idea what I was asking him for. Like, show up at his house with all his, like, miniature ponies. But like, who's on the show Monday, Seth? Just get whoever that is to do it. Yeah, that's true. Whoever's on Monday. The next guest I have, I will have them record Love You Quake.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Great. That's perfect. No matter who it is. No matter who it is. Now I'm so excited. Oh my God, I wonder who it is. Homework. Nice to have some homework. And if I can't get them to do it, maybe every time one of us has to leave early, we'll just play Arnold saying, it's not a tumor. Great.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Yeah. Like, we're leaving. Kindergarten Cop, I believe. Hey, I have to go, but. Yeah. It's not a tumor. Yeah. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Maybe a movie I've never seen, and maybe I've heard him say that line a thousand times because of how many times that commercial plays. It's oft quoted, that and Get to the Chopper. Yeah. Predator. What a genius. It's Predator, right? Or is it Commando?
Starting point is 00:25:54 I think it's... Commando or Predator? Yorm? I want to say Commando. I don't know if he says Get to the Chopper and Predator. Just because you mentioned Predator, somebody was giving me shade for the fact that I busted you guys on writing total recall sketch And then I wrote a harry-carry where he was talking about predator, which is even older than total recall But the whole point was that Harry Harry. It's not no hair
Starting point is 00:26:15 I was writing Harry Carrie talking about predator that would be his references. Yeah, that was his point of breath I was wrong. It is predator. It is predator Predator, Andy. I was like, hell yeah. Fuck! Maybe that's it. Maybe that's it. When you have to leave the plot early, you have to say, I've got to leave early. I need to get to the top of... Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:26:39 You know, guys, we talk a lot about Finland on this podcast, which never thought would happen. But as my name is Jorma Takkonen, almost, it makes sense. And one thing that you guys may not have realized is that I stayed at an Airbnb when I was in Finland in Tampere. And one of the great things about that is that I felt like a native. So when I said things like, my, myi or moi to people, they were like, that guy's definitely Finnish. Also his name is Jorma. Anyway, it was great. There was a sauna in my place.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Killer. So I could feel the lull. And it's great when a place that is a workplace or a vacation place feels like home. And so if you're daydreaming about going to Finland or somewhere in Norway or anywhere in the world, really, I mean, most places, you can get an Airbnb. It's great for family traditions. Vacations are how you bring people together, guys. And also, when I go back to Finland, I'll be probably staying at an Airbnb in Helsinki. And when I do that, I'll probably think to myself, what am I doing, man? I'm out here.
Starting point is 00:27:45 What's my house doing just sitting there? It could have people in it right now. And it's also great to be able to like create spaces for people, create that home environment for people to feel so they don't feel like a bunch of tourists in a city, wherever you live. Anyway, it's extra income that can support more travel or life goals.

Starting point is 00:29:52 May I speak freely? I prefer English. The Naked Gun is the most fun you can have in theaters. Yeah, let's go! Without getting arrested. Is he serious? Is he serious? He's... No.
Starting point is 00:30:02 The Naked Gun. Only in theaters. August 1st. First time I noticed that Yoram is wearing a Weird Al sweatshirt with an accordion on it. A lot of respect for that. And I fucking bought it too, guys. I'm a real fan. Of course you did.
Starting point is 00:30:16 We get it. You went. We got it. He didn't steal it. Is his point. I didn't get it from Al. Yeah. Well, now that's right.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Everything Yoram has he has to establish on the pod he didn't steal. From now on for sure. It was so fun, because I was backstage with weird Al. So if anyone out there wants to book us, just know Yoram might steal from you. This fucking little kid left his sweatshirt, I fucking knew I did immediately. I was going from a fan.
Starting point is 00:30:40 It was so funny, he was saying to his dad, like I can't find it,. His dad was super mad. You know Yoram's about to steal when he goes, here comes Theodore! ALL LAUGHING It's like in Punch Out when that guy would, like, start shaking right before he punched. It's his tell.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Alvin, Simon, Theodore. Dating ourselves left and right over here. Where were we? We were, uh... Oh, I went to, uh, it's been a long time since I've been to a proper movie theater, Keefe. But I went to see Superman last Sunday night because I had James Gunn on the show this week. And it was really fun, one, to see a movie
Starting point is 00:31:17 in the movie theater, total brag. And two, also got to see a naked gun trailer, which was referencing, like, basically, Liam Neeson giving shade to Superman, which was very fun. Oh yeah, he did a little bespoke intro outro. Yeah. God, that's great. So that it would be Superman, a little thing to get your attention in the theater.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Enjoyed it. Bespoke comedy trailers in theater, kind of a lost art. I'm really glad you guys are bringing it back. It's very Mike Meyers-y in a way that I love. Yes, the Adams Family, Wayne's World one is the one that's seared into my brain where I think it was before Adams Family would play, right?
Starting point is 00:31:53 Or Adams Family values and you'd hear the snap, snap. Yeah. And then it faded up and it was- And it was Wayne's World or? Yeah, it was Wayne's World, yeah. So we're pretty deep in here and we haven't really talked about the awards Well, I want to ask a question who is your writing staff?
Starting point is 00:32:09 I'm gonna forget everyone but they sort of had a the way you guys were staffed before Fallon showed up They had put together a staff for you guys like how many friendlies? Yeah, we asked Scott Ackerman who is our friend and who is obviously one of the all-timers if he would head right and he agreed and we were so excited. And he had a bunch of people that he wanted to bring in, some of whom were Neal Campbell, Paul Rust, Jason Manzoukis. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Before that, in the pre-tape phase, I think we had me and Keev, certainly,
Starting point is 00:32:48 and our friend Matt Murray, Panther, and his Harvard buddy Ryan Koh. Yeah. Do you think, Andy, because these awards were in May, Kevin, you say May 31st that they aired? Okay, so May 31st. So the last SNL was, I believe we said May 19th, the Will Ferrow one last episode. So that's only a couple weeks later,
Starting point is 00:33:10 and we had to have this whole show. So Andy, my question is, do you think previous off-week to SNL, that must have been when we did these promos? Correct. We got to jump on it, because it was so much work. So we had done some stuff before the finale. Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:22 So we were jumping in between LA for the movie awards, me and you. Yes. And Yoram was busy in MacGruber. I think I was were jumping in between LA for the movie awards, me and you. Yes. And Yoram was busy in MacGruber. I think I was writing MacGruber still at that point, but then it would have been right after the season was going in location scouting. Yeah. Exactly. So then as soon as that willful ended,
Starting point is 00:33:36 we went to LA and were 100 percent on this for two crazy weeks or three crazy weeks or whatever. Yeah. Leading up to it airing. That's right. I do have the writers in front of me. Can I read through real quick? Sure. Jordan Allen Dutton, Scott Ackerman,
Starting point is 00:33:50 Aaron Blitstein, Neil Campbell, Tim Kalpikis, Al Kaplan, John Kaplan. Tim Kalpikis. Thank you. Peter Karanen, Ryan Perez, our friend Ryan Perez. Oh yeah, right. John Ritchie, Jordan Rubin, Brian Sacka, Laura Valdevia,
Starting point is 00:34:05 Derek Barbosa, Derek Weiner, and Melissa A. Wong. So the Jordan Rubin side of it is he was heading up separate than us in another room, handling all the non-host writing. Got it. Like all the presenters, like we didn't want that on our plate. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Handling what random celebrities were were gonna say to present awards. Which is standard, by the way. Yes, there's always... Exactly. And he did a great job, and their room did a great job, but it was also nice not having to think about that stuff and be like, yeah, they're handling the rest of the show. Because one of the hard things about that job
Starting point is 00:34:37 is like you have to do so much interfacing with the presenters. And so, as a host, you want your writers to be like just focused on you and not going into a room and trying to find something that works for the presenters. And so, as a host, you want your writers to be, like, just focused on you and not going into a room and trying to find something that works for the presenters. Seth, as you would say, yeah. Well, no, but question though, because you guys have both hosted these award shows, and I am always impressed with both of you guys when you do them, because it's such a everything
Starting point is 00:35:02 riding on your shoulders and like all the pressure to what would you say the worst part of it for you guys? Like having done it, like it seems so nerve wracking to me. And I'm always impressed when I've seen both of you guys because I think both of you guys do a great job hosting. Thanks, Jorm. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't there's no hard part. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard work. But there's no part that's like worse than anything we were dealing with at SNL or just like the sheer tonnage of doing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:27 I would say the hard part from an outside perspective is just being judged really hard. People are really mean about award show hosts. And it's a really... They were less so at this exact moment, I will say. I agree. Yes. To me, at this moment, I can just say personally, getting asked to do this was like, oh, fuck, we're doing so good
Starting point is 00:35:45 that they're asking me to do this. Yeah. Because, you know, we were still pretty young, and in our world, there was nothing cooler than this in terms of like music and movies and comedy all sort of intersecting. Yeah, we loved it. And we had grown up watching the movie awards
Starting point is 00:36:01 and seeing like Stiller and everyone that we really admire do really funny shit on the show. It's also, it is a cool show to even see those problems again and feel how actually kind of, I mean, you were being sarcastic about it, Keith, but it is kind of punk rock. And even like those stupid beats and like the, it feels very much like you, Andy.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Like that thing of you coming out of their penis, it's just, it's a real fuck around and it's very much your tone. I did the, a couple of years later, I did the ESPYs. And I also think the fun thing of like an ESPYs or a movie awards is it doesn't have that historical, like the 76th annual. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:41 And there's a lot, you know, I will say like hosting the Emmys or the Globes, which are both also fun. There's a lot more like, we need cuts because there's, you know, and we have a package, we, you know, in memoriam is long, you know, and it's just, you're just up against real estate in a way that I feel like the MTV Movie Awards didn't have in the same way. Seth, when we visited you at the ESPYs,
Starting point is 00:37:02 I remember going backstage and all in sports, this is like a thing, almost everyone's like really big and powerful in sports. Like a lot of people work out and they go to the gym all the time. Oh, do tell. Good observation. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:15 And so like, so almost everyone was very unrelatably large. And then I remember the US soccer team coming in and I was like, oh, my people. Yeah. Everyone's like handsome. So I related to that. And then, you the US soccer team coming in. I was like, oh, my people. Like, everyone's like handsome, so I related to that. And then, you know, short. But like regular human-sized people. Regular human-sized people.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Just so you guys know, we have voice notes from writers. Oh, great. Since we're in the writing part of this, do we wanna do one? Yeah, yeah, let's do one. I feel like historically writers can be very funny too. In the same way that sports figures can be large and they have their own sort of thing, writers can often be funny.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Totally. Yoram, well said. Thank you. Boy, I feel like Yoram just described athletes and then writers in a way that no one's been able to pin down before. Well, that's what Yoram does. He articulates things you know but haven't been able to put the correct words to. He identifies, like, tropes. Yeah, and he doesn't use any big words. They're all the normal ones. Doesn't get fancy about it. that he regulates things you know, but haven't been able to put the correct words to. He identifies, like, tropes.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Yeah, and he doesn't use any big words. They're all the normal ones. Doesn't get fancy about it. You know what? Podcasters are the new prophets. Um... We just don't make prophets. We certainly do. Ah!
Starting point is 00:38:21 God damn it. Why don't we start at the top with our boy Scott Aukerman. He was nice enough to send a voice note. Okay. Hey guys, Scott Aukerman here. So I remember writing in Andy's dressing room at the Universal Amphitheater where the show was taped. So we would go to Universal City Walk every single day to write the show.
Starting point is 00:38:42 And we were basically Andy's writers. So I think stuff was kind of already in motion. Like I said, Andy already was filming the opening video, which was parodies of other movies, inserting himself into these other movies. I think the Lonely Island medley was already in motion at that point, already being orchestrated, which was basically a medley of Lonely Island songs, which I know you guys replicated on the SNL 50 Waste Not Want Not. Waste Not Want Not! That's right, we did.
Starting point is 00:39:20 And so I think that and then I think a Teen Wolf parody video was already being shot And I think Keev you were editing these in the room on your computer. Maybe at the time That's sort of my it does seem like he's in running kind of my recollection of it But so what we were brought in to do was to write like opening monologue stuff bits Basically the host is told on these things Um, bits, basically the host is told on these things, if there's anyone you do want to introduce and if you have a funny intro for anyone specifically, let us know. And you get first crack at doing these intros and any of the ones you don't want to do,
Starting point is 00:39:56 um, we'll leave to other people or the voice of God announcer. So we got a list of everyone who was going to present and we really took great pains to write the worst intros possible. And Andy, I remember you loved them and really wanted to do them. So I remember a couple, one was, we heard Lil Wayne and Leighton Meester
Starting point is 00:40:21 were going to be presenting together. So I think the intro was something akin to like if you put their last names together, they sound like a Hispanic man doing an impression of Batman's butler, Meester Wayne. It's just awful. And then one I remember we loved but we ended up not using for a couple reasons, but her name is my favorite carnival ride. His name is my favorite tree. Please welcome Anna Ferriswheel and Chris Pine Tree.
Starting point is 00:40:53 We had a lot of fun doing that. Still gets me. He remembered that. Are you so mad you backed off at Andy? Are you like, what was wrong with you? I can't believe we didn't do that one, it's perfect. I gotta say, for having had to write so much better at the MTV Movie Awards, I'm like, that's a good one.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Like that. Those are the kinds of things that would definitely not air. And then having a host like Andy is when they're like, approved! Oh my god, yeah, they gave us the keys. Did you direct, what did you direct in this, Keef? Nothing, because we were at SNL, so we couldn't do any prep work. So we would do another version of how we work when we want to have creative control, but work with the director where we help them prep and got
Starting point is 00:41:39 on the calls with department heads with them going, this is how it should look, this is what it should be. Almost the way as a writer at SNL on a live sketch you're not the director but you're in charge creatively and then certain ones I did edit myself like the pre tapes were a an opening that is like the Billy Crystal MTV Movie Awards classic where you insert the host into the popular movies of the year and then there was the music video, cool guys don't look at explosions, which kind of has a life of its own on our YouTube channel, but this is where that's from.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Yeah. And there was also a fatal farm video they did, right? Yeah, they did like two or three for us where we hit up. We were fans of these guys fatal farm that we still are. And that helped me on Naked Gun and have helped us on, like they're the guys on, I think you should leave when we needed to do the, everyone falling out of their coffins for coffin flop. And on our budget, on the show,
Starting point is 00:42:33 there's just no way we can use our main unit to waste an entire day trying to shoot naked dead bodies flopping out of coffins and hitting pavement. So we hire them because I don't know how they do it, but they're able to take the money we have, go off on their own and create magic. No one could have done it better. When we did the MacGurber series, that was a hit series on Peacock, everyone's seen it. But we took a bunch of PR money and just were like, hey, what do you guys want to do?
Starting point is 00:43:04 And they were like, well, we love this old current affair where they're interviewing, current affair was this show in the eighties guys, where they're interviewing Charles Manson from prison. He's like a total psychopath. And we're like, we just want Margerer to be that. And we were like, great. And then they did a whole fucking promo.
Starting point is 00:43:20 The promo was great. It's a great promo. I don't know if it makes people want to see a show, but it's fucking great. They did some stuff in Naked Gun that I won't spoil, but they handled some things for me. And they're awesome. Yeah, they're great. I mean, if you want to look them up their own stuff, one of my favorite things they
Starting point is 00:43:35 ever did, I mean, it's all really, really good, but they did this thing with RoboCop that- It's hard to find now. I tried to find it recently. Yeah. But shout out to Zach and Jeff. They're fucking recently. Yeah, but shout out to Zach and Jeff, they're fucking amazing. Yeah, they were.
Starting point is 00:43:46 And they did Lasagna Cat, which was these live action recreation of Garfield strips. Fucking Lasagna Cat is so good. And then they did these opening, these live action recreations of like 80s sitcoms where they would like change how the opening was to Al for, to DuckTales. And this was all even back then.
Starting point is 00:44:05 So what we had them do this, and one of them, they did a few things, but the one that's on our YouTube that you can find right now is an eight bit version of, so there's a movie called Doubt that was a big movie that year with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Earl Streep. Sure, a big Oscar movie. That was an Oscar movie that was extremely humorless on purpose, a very serious thing about nuns and...
Starting point is 00:44:25 About sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. It wasn't just about nuns. Spoiler! No. Keefe's like, it's a pretty fun movie, it's about nuns. It just couldn't be further... We did not watch the film, Seth. It could not be further from what this is.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Oh my God, they're so good. I love the movie Doubt, but do you guys remember the last line in the movie Doubt, which is very funny to me to this day? No. What is it? I have doubts! Oh my God, that fucking rips. It's like crazy. That's great.
Starting point is 00:44:56 So I do wanna talk about the opening because you were talking about inserting yourself into other movies, which Billy Crystal had done, and this is a very good execution of it. It starts, you're on the phone, go into other movies, which Billy Crystal had done. And this is a very good execution of it. It starts, you're on the phone, go into the bathroom, and then you cut to the exterior, and it's the slumdog millionaire scene where you're in an outhouse. And we find out you're on the phone with Barack Obama.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Yes. Good reveal. Then for some reason, you hold up a picture of Carrie from Sex and the City, right? Yeah, I think it's just because that movie had come out that year. Yeah. You know what I found interesting just about watching this now, because I did watch, this is the only part I watched, rewatched, was this open, was just seeing us in this mode of
Starting point is 00:45:34 being like, we know the assignment of where we are, whereas we usually kind of bristle at being topical, that's topical from that moment, but having to be like, nope, we got to talk about the movies of this year. So for instance, having a photo of Carrie that's likeical from that moment, but having to be like, nope, we gotta talk about the movies of this year. So, for instance, having a photo of Carrie that's like a cheap laugh and kind of irrelevant, but it's just because... It's playing to the audience. We're playing to the audience
Starting point is 00:45:53 in a way that we normally don't do, I would say. Correct. I would say it still feels pretty solid, though. It's just the assignment. It's super solid. I always feel like these things are not mic'd well enough and you can't... The audience feels like they're laughing three rooms over. Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Also forgot that we put the reader in there, which is so funny to think about the MTV audience. No one knew what that even was, as my guess. Pretty cool that it was a Lee prequel. Oh yeah. Do you think that's a situation where they saw you and Kate Winslet and were like, we should put them in a movie together? It was a prequel. A prequel. I think that's definitely it. they saw you and Kate Winslet and were like, we should put them in a movie together? It was a plequal. A plequal. I think that's definitely it.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Fourteen years later, they were like... I always think about that too. Not only that, but in a bath scene. Yeah. A nude bath scene. That's right. They were like, we gotta do this. It is a nice tie together, because now you smell like shit
Starting point is 00:46:38 because you've jumped in the outhouse and slumdog milling. It was my favorite part of it is when I walk in front of the fans. Yeah, it's great. It's a great joke because then you're in Twilight. Yeah, in the science lab in Twilight and he goes in, stands in front of the fan and there's all these really great shots of Rob Pattinson that really look like he's smelling something horrific. Because it's like his reaction to the first time she enters the school. Right, it's that her scent is too much for him?
Starting point is 00:47:05 Is that right? Yeah. That's what it is. Yeah. The other interesting part about this, Seth, is later in this podcast, we're going to come to a sketch called Firelight, that is a Twilight spoof that you wrote, that stars Taylor Swift from when she hosted.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Look who's in this one. Yeah. I remember when we were shooting at me going like, this is so weird because it's the same scene we recreated. Yep. And I'm like, this is the second time I've been on set with Andy Taylor Swift recreating the science lab scene from Twilight.
Starting point is 00:47:35 I really like, again, very good read by Taylor Swift who asks if you have a date for prom, you are, it should be noted, still covered in shit. And you say to Taylor Swift, I don't go to this school, perv. Yeah, I had forgotten about that line and it did make me giggle. Then you do, you're so right. It's a, you cut yourself into the reader.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Which is... Fuck yeah, bro. No way. I literally, when I was watching it today, thought, this can't be the reader. Oh, it is. Why'd they pick that? I mean, I think certainly people were talking
Starting point is 00:48:09 about The Reader a lot. Can I give a shout out to a different award show because Hugh Jackman hosted the Oscars this year and did an opening song. He sang about all the best picture nominees. And I don't remember any of the jokes in it, except that at one point he goes, The Reader, nobody here has seen the reader.
Starting point is 00:48:29 So even the Oscars, they were making that joke. I think Dan Harmon and maybe Rob Schraub with him worked on that one. That is 100% correct. We know that song well because it beat us for the Emmy for song. For Mother Lover. It beat Mother Lover. Wow. Yeah, no hard feelings.
Starting point is 00:48:42 And Harmon, bless his heart, was like, it should have been those fucking guys. Oh, yeah, that's right. He was very sweet on stage. Yes, it was very nice. But you're not wrong that the Hugh Jackman song was very good. Yeah. Then you disappear from the reader and you're in the Star Trek. And very, very funny Aziz Ansari cameo.

Starting point is 00:49:35 Yeah, you did a lot. You're very exposed. Yeah. You look real comfortable about it too. Like, chillin'. I was overconfident. I was young and overconfident. Hahahaha. Then you get beamed into the back of a limo,
Starting point is 00:49:48 and it's you and JT, and Timberlake sort of sends you off to host. He sure does. I was surprised how much it made me giggle when I'm climbing over him. It's a real good, it's a real good bring your butt all over. Just good old fashioned dumbness. Just my butt up in his face.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Yeah. Now, Mother Lover was only two weeks ago, and so I liked that it timestamps it. Oh. What's up, man? So you're naked? Yeah. Yeah. Hey, remember when we did Mother Lover?
Starting point is 00:50:21 Yeah. Yeah. This is good as taking a box, right? I think you should go. Yeah, yours good. I'll just back out. That's okay. That's fucking great.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Oh, it really got a little butt wag in there. I'll just do one little hop. Okay. Okay, not working, not working, not working. Yeah, not working. There you go. That's great shit, great shit. Well played.

Bless his heart. Bless his heart. Team player. Solid opening. Solid opening. Mix Master Mike gives you a beat. Oh, yeah, we do the throw your hands in the air thing. Yeah. And a very funny Fred cameo.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Wouldn't do that now, not for any political reason, just because I don't like it anymore. That move? Yeah. It just feels like old rap, you know what I mean? Yeah. Agreed. It makes me cringe now, but I go, yeah, it was fine back then. It's cool that Mixed Master Mike did it, and I like seeing all the people you're talking to in the crowd and stuff.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Yeah. Oh, there's a That's My Boy connection, right? Was in Leighton Meester your wife, your fiance in that? Yes. And you do a bunch of Leighton Meester jokes talking about how that she farts in this. I do? Yeah. You're like, just if you want to fart tonight, fart. Leighton Meester jokes talking about how that she farts in this. I do? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:51:25 You're like, just if you want to fart tonight, fart Leighton Meester. It's totally fine. And she's great sport. I don't know if you heads her up, but she was... I'm sure we did. I think on these things, we heads up everybody. Leighton is a very laid back, nice person. I'm sure she didn't care. But she was great and very charming. Yeah. You're setting the ground rules and the first ground rule you say is, it's cool to fart in here.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Yeah. Great. Yeah, great And then assign it to late and meets there fully and then call it back later Oh my god, Neil Campbell is in the throw your hands in the air section. He's got no arms. Yeah, he sent a voice note I don't know if he talks about it. Let's hear it. Okay. Hello This is Neil Campbell and here are a bunch of random memories of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards and here are a bunch of random memories of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. So, it was the Twilight year, and the audience was filled with kids who would go nuts anytime they saw Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart, or Twilight was mentioned at all, really. And I think there was a joke where Andy came out and said,
Starting point is 00:52:17 I just want to test something. Twilight. And then the audience screamed for about 20 seconds or so, and Andy was like, Okay, I thought so. The opening number, opening live number, was a song where Andy would tell different people to throw their hands in the air and it would cut to them. At one point he says, if you've got no arms, throw your hands in the air. And it cut to me with no arms and two bloody sleeves. There was also a bit where it's like if you party too hard, throw your hands in the air
Starting point is 00:52:40 and Fred Armisen threw his hands in the air and then like an intervention was arranged. I hope I'm remembering this correctly, but I believe the writer's PA was the actress Olivia Taylor Dudley, who went on to star in The Magicians, amongst other things. And when we would order lunch, it was the first time I ever heard someone, Andy, mention that we should get something for the taves. What else? We all got really obsessed with the movie Delgo, this computer animated fantasy film, and we wrote a bunch of Delgo jokes, but I don't think any of them made it to air. Akiva pointed out one day that I had worn multiple different built by Wendy shirts to work, which was true because those are my cool shirts. Who could forget Kings of Leon rocking the house with You Somebody? And finally,
Starting point is 00:53:25 my main memory of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards is that it is how I met my dear friend, Andy Sandberg.

Can I tell you something? Somebody wrote in something that was really funny and I just really appreciate the sarcasm.
Starting point is 00:57:11 I'm not really a fan of the digital shorts. SNL is sometimes funny, but I'm a huge fan of the podcast crew, especially when they talk about the New York Times spelling thing, Seth's dog, and podcast timing issues. Oh, just bitingingly sarcastic. Andy Bragalia Yeah, just like fucking fire and went across the bow. Seth Suellentrop Good for you, whoever that was. Seth Suellentrop Speaking of Seth, how close did you get today
Starting point is 00:57:34 on the B? Andy Bragalia I'm two away, but not clean. Seth Suellentrop Not clean already. Andy Bragalia No, so you got me, buddy. You got me. Andy Bragalia Okerman mentioned a medley. You guys had a fantastic medley in this one as well. No Andy at all This was just other people singing your songs. Yeah sort of like orchestral reimaginings of our songs treated real fancy
Starting point is 00:57:56 Not not dissimilar as Scott pointed out to what we did at the 50th and and that was not lost on us when we were Like what do we do for the 50th? We were like, I loved that thing We did in 2009. Is there a version that continues that using newer songs? And we had some super awesome guests. Leanne Rimes opens it up. Yes. And it's so fun.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Leanne Rimes. Because literally the first thing she sings is Jizz in My Pants, the first words. I mean, let's just revisit little bits of it. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome multi-platinum recording artist, Chris Isaac and Grammy award winner, Leanne Wright.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Chris Isaac too, of course. The screamiest audience of all time, MTV. I mean, by the way, I sound like a lunatic the whole show because they were so loud. Jizz in my pants. Jizz in my pants. were so loud. Still very good. She sounds great.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Tied to movies right there. Right to the bridge. She's also like in a beautiful evening gown. She looks gorgeous. Yes, and the lighting. There's a full violin string session over there. Selling the shit out of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:38 I mean, these real orchest lazy Sunday, lazy Sunday, oh What's wrong with your head? Yes, the chronic What's wrong with your head? Poor choir Of course, yeah This is well shot Yeah, it's definitely being shot as if it's serious
Starting point is 01:00:01 And lit like it's serious Oh Ladies and gentlemen, Academy Award winner, Forest Whitaker! Forest Whitaker, Dick in a Box. Fuck you, Will. He sounds great a great guy. Also the staging of putting him way up there. It's so good. Yeah, he's spotlighted up high in the side.
Starting point is 01:00:33 I remember hanging with him a little at the after party and being so happy. I mean, that is showing up. I'll show you the next tune on It's my dick in a box In a box Oh, a choreo! Acting out It's my dick in a box Dude, just a few weeks after writing it, there it is, Mother of Love, getting it put in. That's pretty great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Damn, they really did it well. Yeah, that was exceptional. Standing O from... At Custody 3, you dudes. Yeah, crying, weeping and holding hands. Oh my God, I will say, for me not having been involved in these guys creating this, like flying into town to be in that shot,
Starting point is 01:01:34 it really did feel emotional. Like, just to watch it and be like, this is what you guys put together? This is incredible. Like, it was so fucking sweet and like just like, oh, that's amazing. God, that's really fun. All right, so that was awesome.
Starting point is 01:01:51 We are eternally grateful to those singers and Forrest. Forrest Whitaker, so rad. Cool guys don't look at explosions. Yeah, so whose idea? I think it was mine. Okay, I believe that. Unless it was Akiva's, Was it yours, Keev? It honestly might have been. I have no clue.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Okay. I mean, but it's obviously was a trope that many people, I'm sure, had noticed of the people walking away from explosions and not noticing that there'd be like a... it'd be really hot and there'd be a lot of danger and wind concussion and... just there's a lot of reasons to keep your eye on an explosion. We were literally had just written it into MacGurber so we were about to do it. This exact trope. Oh right that when the van blows up. He's well no no when he burns the car that kept you out three minutes.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Oh right right right when he walks away after lighting a fire. John Oliver did an end of a season explosion thing like this once and I've heard him talk about it where he basically said the stunt guy came up and said, so, cause it was that exact thing of not looking back. And he said, so it's gonna feel like you're on fire. Like basically like the amount you have to ignore. It was like the heat of it. And the idea that somebody not in a movie,
Starting point is 01:02:59 they would not like run faster or look back. I think his was particularly insane though, cause I remember that one. I think that he did like 50 gallons of gasoline or something. It's a massive explosion. It's a massive one. It's like an old quarry. As a layman, I always thought, you know, like somehow,
Starting point is 01:03:15 because you know that the stunt people put this stuff together, special effects people, that there's like a safety to it. And there is of course, but it's still real fire exploding and fireballs. And it's not unlike when you used to go to the back draft ride thing at Universal Studios. Yeah, it's scary. And you feel the heat. It's still giant fireballs.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Like a lot of it is gasoline explosions. And even one gallon of gasoline in a bag is insanely large. So like to go big, big time is, is, yeah, very scary. So it's taking advantage of the fact that the Movie Awards has relationships with all the studios where you can use clips from movies. So it was a good way to get to use all the clips and get to show explosions from movies. It was Bruce Springsteen Andy.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Yes. Ask and the coup obviously here was getting Will as Neil Diamond. Yes. Which he had played before a few times, once in a Gap ad, I believe. Well, he had done it on SNL. Yeah. Jerry Jerry, sweet Caroline. Dancing walks, Will Smith walks. Mark Blower is wearing a hat.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Then JJ Abrams had directed the Star Trek that we had spoofed earlier. So he was in the conversation that year in general. Yes, and we had met him. I had gone and seen an early screening of Star Trek at the Paramount lot, and we had become friendly from that. He was very, very nice. I think we had met him at Comic-Con randomly, I think when Hot Rod was there or something. Could be.
Starting point is 01:04:51 And we were just geeked to meet him and know him. Yes. And he plays piano in this and it's the most successful anyone in his family has been musically. He does and we actually have a voice note from him. Oh, great. Oh, terrific. Shooting that video was one of the most fun
Starting point is 01:05:09 and surreal experiences I've ever had in my life. What I remember is I had to go to an AFI event immediately after, and in fact, I had to go before we finished shooting, so I couldn't be walking with you guys at the end when the explosion happened, which is the biggest regret of my life. It was the most fun and it was absolutely hilarious. And putting my hand up
Starting point is 01:05:32 and doing the Paul Schaeffer during the solo was, I think it's the highlight of my career. Anyway, there you go. Love you. Well, he's very good. Thanks, JJ. Thank you, JJ. Very, very good. He's very good at it. Thanks, JJ. Thank you, JJ.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Very, very good at it. But we just thought it would be hilarious that it was him and it was, but then he showed up and Asa had played the piano solo for us and had made it ridiculously fast and everything. And then he was like, I learned it and was kind of doing the right moves on the keyboard. It was pretty fucking on point. No, I think he actually plays piano. No, I think he actually plays piano. No, he does.
Starting point is 01:06:06 It turns out he is a musician and I think this might be totally wrong. So we'll leave it to the Quaid army, but didn't he maybe have a hand in the Felicity theme song even? Oh. And when you go to Bad Robot, he's got a huge music studio there
Starting point is 01:06:18 and really is a musician. And then you are correct that maybe it runs in the family. Yes. Keyboard solo, J.J. Abrams! Yeah! Now you're talking. Woohoo! Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Can I give one more factoid, fun, surprising factoid about JJ? When I did this movie in Finland, I met a graffiti writer who writes for CBS, can't be stopped, big, big time graffiti crew. He's from Norway, and he showed me pictures of him doing crazy pieces, the big, big filled-in graffiti pieces in LA, and lo and behold, JJ Abrams doing it with him. I was like, well, JJ's got a lot of
Starting point is 01:07:10 fucking hidden skills, so there you go. He's an artist. Yeah, artist. We didn't even give a shout out. This guy, Troy Miller is who directed all these. Yeah. He did it many years, I believe was his thing.
Starting point is 01:07:22 He, I believe, directed a lot of Mr. Show. Yeah, was his, is it Dakota or something with his company? Yeah. And so, you know, we would tell him what it had to be and then he would run with it. But he did something I've never seen before or after, which is when we wanted a lot of the really high energy swoopy stuff when Farrell and you and JJ are up on stage, the kind of main centerpiece performance shot.
Starting point is 01:07:46 He was on a segue, like feet on a full segue. This is before people zipped around on those one-wheel things around LA and stuff. He was on a full segue that had been rigged with a Steadicam. And a Steadicam, as you know, is pretty hard to operate. They weigh, I don't know how much, 100 pounds and they kind of go over your shoulders in this crazy big vest and you're holding the camera.
Starting point is 01:08:08 But he was doing it at 15 miles an hour, zipping around on a Segway holding a full camera rig to get the shots. It looked great. Yeah. It was rad. Yeah. Shout out Troy. He's a nice dude. Then this is when we took off their plate for
Starting point is 01:08:21 editing because we were like, this is our speciality. So we edited this one. It's very cool. And it is a fun trope that people, even after you pointed it out, people did not stop doing it. I think action movies think it's so kick-ass, they don't mind that it's a comedy trope. I remember us discussing, like, I mean,
Starting point is 01:08:37 this is how up our own ass we were. We were like, so now people are going to stop, right? Yeah. We put that to bed. And everyone was like, fuck you, nerd. They were like, all of a sudden in movies, like, the rock was like, oh fuck! Oh shit, oh yeah! I bet you we did stop some people that we'll never know, because they didn't do it.
Starting point is 01:09:00 Yeah, we'll never know. You know, it's a very funny observation, like for how much people like things exploding and watching things explode. The idea that you're like, I'm seeing too many of these. It's true. I do think maybe I might be wrong and I don't remember the movie.
Starting point is 01:09:16 I feel like years later, Farrell did a bit in a movie about the same idea where something exploded. It's in the other guys. Yeah, in the other guys. Where he's like, whoa. Yeah. They are going to and they get flattened by it, I think.
Starting point is 01:09:28 So not only did people stop doing it, they didn't even stop doing comedy observations about it. We just opened Pandora's box. Or it was just already open and you walked by it and people were like, what? You guys didn't have anything to do with this. But I will say I was very happy with this one. I thought the idea of everyone you know, everyone got it.
Starting point is 01:09:47 We had Will, we had JJ, it looked good. And it was funny, got in, got out. And it lives on. It's got 51 million views. It lives on as a thing we made. That's exciting. Do you have more voice notes about it, Andy? Yeah, bust another voice note.
Starting point is 01:10:00 Hey, before you guys do any more voice notes, I do have to go. Okay. I need to... Later, get to the chopper. Fuck it. Later, Queens. No, just play. Queens are gonna insert whoever his guest is on Monday's voice just got played. Oh, okay, gotcha.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Well, no. I won't have it by then. We'll just insert get to the chopper for today. Oh, just get to the chopper. Sorry. So I gotta go. I need to... Get to the chopper! Love you guys. Love you too. All right. Love you, Seth. Oh, just get to the chopper. Sorry. So I gotta go. I need to get to the chopper. Love you guys. Love you too. All right. Love you, Seth. Bye, Seth. Take care of yourself. All right. Seth just left. We have more voice notes, but we've been here for a while and we want to listen to them all. And so why don't we just listen to them on next week's next things? It'll be the first thing we do. We'll listen to some more voice notes and we'll talk a teeny
Starting point is 01:10:43 bit more about this. Well, I gotta tell you, Keev, I think it's just a great idea. Andy, you watch anything good this week? My man, no. Wow, that's what's up. Marv, a reader. I've been pretty buried. I've been watching some of K-pop Demon Hunter, the movie. K-pop Demon Hunters with my daughter. It's pretty good. I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty good. Tell me what, because some of those songs are becoming real hits I heard. I mean, that shouldn't be that surprising
Starting point is 01:11:11 because they're pretty good, but they're also, I think there's a history of high school musical songs going, if those movies came out now, they'd be hits in the same viral way. The Descendants movies- Don't you think they were hits? I think they were hits, weren't they? That's what I mean. I think they were at the time. I think the Descendants movies. Don't you think they were hits? I think they kind of were hits, weren't they?
Starting point is 01:11:26 That's what I mean. I think they were at the time. And I think the Descendants movies had some pretty big songs. Yeah, those were big. And I think the zombie movie, zombies did and I of course know them all. So I don't think it's without precedent. Yeah. So wait, that show is for like teens? It's a movie and yeah,
Starting point is 01:11:45 it's exactly for my daughters. Got it. But that's not saying we can't appreciate them. It's pretty, this is just free promo for whoever made it. I don't know who made it, but it's clearly, it's Sony Pictures Animation, so it's clearly out of the same world as Spider-Verse,
Starting point is 01:11:59 and then Rodney's. Oh, cool. The animation is dope in that way, and there's cool funny jokes and it's stylized and the songs are good K-pop songs. Yes, man. We're just watching a lot of animation movies. That's what we're up to. That's what we're into.
Starting point is 01:12:13 I'm watching Love on the Spectrum. That's a great show. Thanks. Came out a while ago, but yeah. Yeah, I just heard about it. I'm going to late to the party. Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Better late than never, as they say. This is so great that we always do this segment at the end where we talk about what we want. Yeah. And what did you read? Me? What did I read? I've been trying to get through Holly
Starting point is 01:12:37 by Stephen King for six months. Yeah, what's on your Kindle, dude? Fantastic Mr. Fox with my child reading it. You know how there's always the top three, which we do at the end of every pod. Every week I sit down with a nice mug of tea and my Kindle and I just crack open a new novel. That's our lives.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Novels. That's really good. I'm really happy we talked about all that, guys. All right, well, it's been a pleasure. We don't have Seth here. We can talk about anything. That's my point. Yeah, exactly. No, I know, but it's just been. We don't have Seth here. We can talk about anything. That's my point. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:13:06 No, I know. But it's just been so long, so we all want to leave. Like a perfect example of something we could talk about, like what's on your gindle? What's on your gindle, guys? What do you have on your gindle? What's on your gindle? Your gindle? Yeah. I guess that is how I said it. Oh, man. Every time I read a book on my gindle, I just enjoy consuming the written word on my Gindle. I don't want to pay for anything, so I've just had the first 10 pages of like 50 books.
Starting point is 01:13:32 And I'll just read the first 10. It's usually mostly the table of contents, the kind of the page that tells you when it was published, what year. Then you get maybe like a preface written by somebody else, a dedication page. And then I get like two pages of just the meat of the intro. And then I'm like, well, that's that.
Starting point is 01:13:51 And I kind of consider that honestly a book read. I think that's fair. So a Gindle is like the gist of a Kindle. You just get the gist and you're like, yeah, I'm moving on. Well, that's all. I also bought the cheapest Gindle they make and it's honestly, it's 50 megabytes. So once you get 10 books on there, you're pretty much toast. But I figured out a cool...
Starting point is 01:14:08 So, guys, for people at Quaid Army, a cool hack for your Gindle, a cool hack for your Gindle is just download the previews of the books, and then you can fit like 50 previews right on your Gindle. Keev, back in the movie words days, would go up to the musicians at the show and be like, hey, I love your stuff. I mean, what I've heard of it on iTunes preview button. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:14:30 The previews button always gave you like 30 seconds right in the center of the song. I got the gist of your album. It was great. I assume what comes before and after is just as good. Exactly. I was just rocking them right there on my guy pod. It's like a gimbal, but it's a really small guy pod. Oh, I love plugging intunes, my guy pod. It's like a gimbal, but it's a really small guy pod. Oh, I love plugging intunes on my guy pod.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Like guy pod. At the end of the show, we always wrap it up with like letter box, what's your criterion closet and then just like, hey, what's on your gindle? And then always a life hack, just like at the end of the Queer Eye shows, another show like Love on the Spectrum on Netflix. Yeah, if you put your wallet in the, you know like those gas stations where you can't pull up the handle because it doesn't have the little stopper thing, if you have a wallet, put it in there, prop it up, and then you don't have to like sit there the whole time.
Starting point is 01:15:15 That's a fun one. Oh, that's such a good life hack. Thank you for that. You didn't think I was gonna have one, but I had one. It seems dangerous like the gasoline might overfill and not hit the mark where it's supposed to stop. It's not dangerous, keep, it's a life hack, it works. I don't know that you want to prop it to where the gas can't stop coming out of the nozzle. This is just like, generally as a rule at a gas station, I don't want to be like waving my wallet around.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Don't knock it till you hack it, Keith. Leaving it unattended, jammed into making the gas. Jam your wallet in and then go inside to get a Slurpee. That's a really, really good hack. Hey, I know I've never been to this gas station, but I trust you guys. Just try it. Definitely not gonna explode my car. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:15:52 All right, well, I feel like this was a great way to wrap things up. Yeah, it seems like it. Yeah, we found it by the end. A little, some little snips here and there. We definitely found it. Yes, yes. All right, well, love you guys. All right, love you too. Bye. Talk soon, Tigers. Oh, yes. All right, well, love you guys. All right, love you too.
Starting point is 01:16:05 Bye. Talk soon, Tigers. Classic. Oh, talk soon, Tigers. And see you around, Arnold. Later, Quades.
