Hey, you guys, Andy here.
I'm recording.
Oh, what a pleasant guy.
What a nice guy who just shows up.
I'm pretty happy.
So who does our wonderful theme songs?
I know you've mentioned them.
Greg Chun.
Yeah, Greg Chun.
I have a request for Greg.
Now you're doing an apple?
Yeah, the loudest foods.
Want to get into it something?
You want to get into it?
9.30 AM here.
Had to get my kids out the door for school.
Have something after this.
Had to take a shower.
This is what I'm eating.
Gosh, 9.30.
For our listeners, they're just gonna be blown away
that you're at work at 9.30 in the morning.
I just stated everything I did before.
Yeah, that's true.
Do you take your kids to school every day?
No.
Okay.
Just on days you have a morning pod?
Oh, my God. We did one yesterday.
What do you want from me, my blood?
By the way, this is two days in a row for us.
We're fucking killing it.
Wait, so Greg Chun, I'm gonna...
I have a request.
Can you guys get to him?
I would like a song, if he's willing to,
inspired by the Frasier theme.
Ooh, I love that.
Just a little nice, little Lonely Island jingle.
I feel like we should just give you his number
and make you talk to him.
I don't know. It feels like that was a pretty easy ask.
All three of us know him pretty good, though.
Yeah. By all means, have the person... Have a stranger ask. I think he know, it feels like that was a pretty easy ask. All three of us know I'm pretty good though. Yeah.
By all means, have the person, have a stranger ask.
I think you'll like it.
Hey, hey, it's the Lonely Island Podcast and sometimes Seth Meyers hangs out too.
He's busy.
And there's that one guy who's always late, sometimes don't show up at all.
I think you know who
Finland but it's all good sir it don't matter as long as they got you them boys
got a whole army of quakes quick little notes cuz I will say I came in prepared
today whoa this is gonna be a different set.
Well, part of it is I felt as though if we just winged
it with this short, it would be a pretty dog episode.
I think it's wunged it, right?
Yeah, we have to look at other stuff.
We don't have a lot to say about this.
And again, I rewatched it.
It's a, how would you describe it via text, Andy?
Totally ellipses fine.
Yeah, I think that's right.
There's nothing terrible about it.
It is totally fine.
Did not make the final 64.
I think it's interesting any time I watch one
where I don't actually remember what's going to happen
because I don't think you guys made many
that were forgettable.
No, it wasn't.
I do remember this one,
but because the singing is so high,
it's almost impossible to hear what the lyrics are.
Yeah, they're not bad songs, but I agree.
But let's get to that.
No, I mean, are we jumping right into it?
Cause I can tell you how it all came together.
And I'm guessing Keev remembers pretty well too.
I would like to not jump into it,
because again, I came in with a plan.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, let's stick to the plan.
All right, Seth, take it away.
Finally prepared for your job, Seth.
We were saying, you know, you can't untoss a salad
and Keev and I could not come up with a similar expression,
which is the one people use.
Couple of listeners, you can't unring a bell.
You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
That's a classic.
That one's the real classic.
Alan Seppenwald, friend of the pod.
Can I just say you can do that though?
You can do it.
You can push out the air part of the toothpaste
and then suck it back in.
It's just very difficult to do, but you can do it.
It's arduous.
Yeah, it's arduous to do.
Maybe that's what people are talking about.
Like you can put the toothpaste back in the tube,
but it's arduous.
Reading between the lines, I think Yoram's saying
anything is possible, believe in your dreams.
Is that right, Yoram?
That's right, Andy.
We are so sympatico. I love doing this.
We're fucking killing it today. You and me, bro.
Ah, another bite of my apple.
Whoo!
Happy!
Oh, Dad!
I'm just happy to take a back seat for this.
I mean, this is exciting stuff.
Yeah.
The Venn diagram of people who are super into our podcast
and people who are also super into the minutiae
of NYPD Blue lands firmly on Alan Sepinwall,
television critic, who reached out to me.
He's very excited.
NYPD Blue backstory facts, if you care.
We do.
They were allowed to show rear ends and side boob,
but no more.
They used to be able to show on TV.
Steven Bochco and Bob Iger literally drew sketches
that they passed back and forth to figure out
what was and wasn't allowable.
They could say asshole but not fuck,
and it was only a brief window
where they were allowed to say shit.
Then something changed the game,
which has a nice little tie into the podcast.
Then Jada Jackson and Justin Timberlake happened
at the Super Bowl halftime show.
And suddenly the language and the nudity got dialed way back. into the podcast, then Jada Jackson and Justin Timberlake happened at the Super Bowl halftime show.
And suddenly the language and the nudity got dialed way back.
Thank God.
Wow.
I got more.
And yes, Sylvia is giving Sipowicz a handy.
Thank you.
As Dennis Franz says, his line is,
that's sure gonna be clean.
Yeah, exactly.
Wow. I really, really want to think that he punched up the scene.
I was like, guys, what if?
What if I said that's sure gonna be clean?
By the way, David Milch, NYPD Blue writer,
went on to do Deadwood.
So one of the great TV writers of all time.
Also, Sipowicz was a native New Yorker on the show.
They never bothered to explain his Chicago accent.

SEBASTIAN WOHLTMANN SEBASTIAN WOHLTMANN
Seppenwald coming with the heat.
And you can read, Seppenwald did write a fantastic book.
And I feel like it's only fair to plug it.
It's no ifs, ands, but plenty of buts, the NYPD blue story.
Oh my god, so he's well-versed.
By the way, I made up the title.
That's not the title.
Yeah, he has a book.
Oh, damn it.
But is it too late to change it?
Why did you just leave it at that?
You bit on that harder than you chowed on
on that apple, Samberg.
Did someone say apple?
Fucking delicious.
Oh, apologies to all our listeners.
This is to punish Seth.
Maybe 9.30 a.m. is our time.
I think it might be our time.
Maybe we are early, guys.
Oh, this is so good.
I'm running on fumes.
Sebenwell did write a great book called
The Revolution Was Televised that I highly recommend.
So I do want to give a shout out.
Another thing that somebody just in the comments said,
have you guys seen the Eurovision song from Finland?
No.
This year.
No, but the one from Estonia by Tommy Cash is really good.
I highly recommend to all parents.
It's called Espresso Macchiato, and it's really, really good. What highly recommend to all parents. It's called espresso macchiato,
and it's really, really good.
What's from this year?
Espresso macchiato, macchiato, macchiato, por favore.
Should we watch the Finland one right now?
Yeah, I'm gonna ask Jeff to screen share and show it,
cause there's a couple things.
One, somebody said, first of all, it's three dudes.
Looks like it could be the lonely island from Finland.
One of them fully looks like the creep,
like he's dressed from the music video, The Creep.
And also, again, tie into Yoram's time away from us,
it's called a Barabada Bastu, which means just sauna.
Wow.
Does it really?
Yeah.
Yeah, well, they do love it.
It's basically a Lonely Island comedy zone.
["Lonely Island Comedy Zone"]
Oh, wow, they really do look like us. I know our world is just as good Like tango with aria sajoma
Ripsi, kaksi, kolme, sauna
Sauna?
Sauna!
Sauna!
Oh hey!
This is for Jorn.
The set transformed into a sauna.
Not that he's playing an accordion, they're bringing some weird Al into here too.
It's literally about sauna.
Yeah.
So what does bara-bara-bastu mean?
Just sauna. Yeah. So what does bara bara basu mean? Just sauna.
Hahaha.
It's basically I'm on a boat about saunas.
This feels very Finnish, but when I just googled, Yahoo called them Sweden.
Are they Swedish?
I have answers.
Okay, great.
Sona.
They are from Finland. They're part of the Swedish minority in Finland.
So they're Swedish dudes, but they were the Finnish entry for Eurovision.
Sick.
And they finished fourth overall.
The song has gone number one in both Sweden and Finland.
Fuck, we gotta go there.
And the video, which is from two months ago, that video I just sent, has 16 million views.
Wow.
That was good. All right.
Wait, so that wasn't from Eurovision,
because Eurovision's now.
So that was maybe their entry at the competition?
No, I think that was it.
That looked like Euro.
That's Euro, they finished fourth.
But was Eurovision two months ago or right now?
No, it was very recently.
It was like-
But then I'm saying you just said
that video's from two months ago.
Oh, maybe it's two weeks ago.
Maybe I'm, I think that's from Eurovision though.
Sorry if I-
Because the finals of Eurovision are May 19th,
which was four days ago.
Oh, all right, well.
Here's just a Kevin sent us a translation.
The clock strikes, now is the time.
All worries will soon disappear.
The best cure for body and soul, four wood paneled walls.
A little on the nose.
We're gonna have a sauna, sauna,
steam up and release all stress today.
Sauna brothers, we're the ones who glow.
100 degrees, well then just having a sauna.
Sauna, throw water on so the sweat just swirls around.
Oh, sauna bathing, yeah,
we're gonna have a sauna sauna steam up.
You know, a lot of these lyrics would tie in very nicely
to the Dennis Franz shower scene.
Oh yeah, that's a mashup I'm interested in.
I'm just glad that they mentioned 100 degrees
because when my brother was out in Finland,
we checked the temperature.
Nobody was in the sauna,
so people weren't going in and out.
So it was the hottest it was ever.
And it was 104 degrees Celsius,
which I don't know if it's even possible
because that seems like it'd be wildly illegal
in the United States.
That's over 200 plus degrees.
Wayne on the comments.
I don't know what it actually is.
KAJ is the name of the band.
Nice work, guys.
Yeah, really fun.
I do think that owes a lot to Psy also,
like the choreo and the type of song.
Yeah, so there's some Gungham style.
Am I saying that right?
So anyway, they crushed it.
Congratulations. And also thank you for
the listener who suggested we watch that,
because that was a good time.
What if it was them?
Oh yeah.
It's just one of them.
Now that I realize that English was a little wonky.
I think you should check out this new video.
His video you should watch.
We do that all the time.
Yeah, oh totally.
You know what you should check out?
This thing that I have nothing to do with.
Hello army of Quaid.
I mean, Yoram's basically from Finland, so he's allowed.
Yeah, totally.
By the way, my last name apparently also sounds very Finnish.
If it was Takkonen, then it would be just a straight up Finnish name.
Jorma Takkonen.
Now I'm going to choose your own adventure for you guys.
Do you want questions we received about I'm on a boat over the course of this podcast?
Or do you want to move on to the Alec Baldwin episode
in the short?
Boat, boat, boat.
Let's hit a couple extra boats, because Keith
had to leave early.
Yeah.
All right, this is interesting.
Greetings from Australia.
This is Matt, big fan of everything you do.
I have a question for the Lonely Island.
I just noticed in the video for I'm on a Boat,
when T. Payne sings Poseidon, Look at Me,
the portrait of Poseidon on the wall
is from the 2002 video game Age of Mythology,
which I played when I was a kid. Was someone else a fan of the game, or did someone. The portrait of Poseidon on the wall is from the 2002 video game Age of Mythology, which
I played when I was a kid.
Was someone else a fan of the game or did someone just take one of the first pictures
that came up on Google?
First pictures on Google.
Next, next question.
Is that cleared and okay?
And sorry, and sorry.
It seems crazy that we would use something that would be a copyright issue.
Don't sue us now in retrospect, guys.
It had to have gotten cleared because UMG was really much more strict than SNL is even
about that stuff.
Yeah, I'm sure it's fine.
All right, here we go. I absolutely love the podcast. I look forward to it every week.
I want to ask you to address the two performances on Jimmy Fallon, the full performance in the
Classroom Instruments performance. Full performance with The Roots, Jimmy introduces you and says
it's your live debut. Please go into detail about what that was like.
What was it like performing with The Roots?
Had you met them before?
How did you decide to go so hard at YORM?
Yeah, great question.
Uh, well, we were legitimately fucking excited.
We had met The Roots a little bit,
because they were, you know, the band for Jimmy.
And they knew, I think, we were massive fans
and had, like, grown up listening to them
and going to their shows, and Keev maybe even promoted
one of their shows in Santa Cruz.
I'm not sure if you remember.
I did not, but I certainly attended
many of their concerts.
At that point, and still to this day,
they are the band that I have seen
more than any other group live.
It felt like they were always touring.
For me, that was true, and now there's
a different musical act I've seen more.
Can you guess who it is? Oh, God, what's your name? Fuck, that was true. And now there's a different musical act I've seen more.
Can you guess who it is?
Oh, God. What's her name?
Fuck. I know this.
What the fuck is her name?
Oh, shit.
She plays like a trumpet or something.
Old-timey trumpet.
Like it's like a French horn, though.
Oh, uh... Celine Dion.
Uh, Keev, just real quick, though.
What were a few of the acts that you promoted shows for?
Well, yeah. When I was like 19 and 20 in college and I was in Santa Cruz and I wanted certain bands to come but they weren't necessarily planning, I would then just reach out and
be a promoter out of nowhere to try to get them. So I did the Alcoholics, which was one
of our favorite groups.
Yeah.
Steve, did you also design the Flyers? Why do I think you designed the Flyers?
Yeah, I did eventually start trying to design them. The Far Side and AC Alone, like Freestyle Fellowship, those guys.
And this isn't, I wouldn't put this in the hustler spirit camp of things. You just wanted to see bands and that was very cool. But I remember thinking like, wow, Keev's doing big things up there. That's pretty cool.
I had no clue what I was doing. In hindsight, sometimes I think about some of the things and I'm like, oh, that was unprofessional. But they also knew they were talking to some 19 year old
college kid.
Fake it till you make it.
But do you remember, Keev, do you remember that when we were in high school and we were
trying to get free records that you figured out that if we had a publication that we could
get free records. So we made a hip hop magazine called Up in the Cut and designed it and then
put fake articles in.
It was like a pamphlet.
And then we sent it out to like, I don't think it did.
I don't think it did.
We attempted. Up in the Cut's real good.
Yeah.
We tried to make a fake zine.
Hey, what's up? It's Keeven Yor from Up in the Cut.
You think you made me want to play a show
like a dinky-ass venue in Santa Cruz?
No, we were trying to get record levels
to send us the promo records that they send DJs.
Oh, I see, I see.
Yeah, we were just sending it out as if we had a magazine
that we didn't.
Fuck, that's a good gambit.
We're the promoters from Dinkies Nation.

This episode of the Lonely Island Podcast
is brought to you by our friends at Maker's Mark.
This Father's Day, we're partnering with Maker's Mark
to celebrate the fathers and father figures
in all of our lives.
Nurturing a family takes time, patience, and care,
and just like distilling bourbon,
there are no shortcuts in honor of everything.
Perfectly unreasonable, our fathers have shortcuts. In honor of everything, perfectly unreasonable,
our fathers have done for the sake of something remarkable.
Makers Mark wants to extend a Happy Father's Day.
And cheers from the founding Samuels family
and its three generation of remarkable dads.
You know, can I just say about the remarkable dads
that I do this podcast with?
We always put our family and our children first.
And, in fact, that's why I'm the only one
reading the ad right now,
because the other three of them are doing what they should do,
being incredible fathers.
You, too, can celebrate the devoted father figures
in your life by picking up a bottle of Makers Mark 46,
the perfect gift for Father's Day,
Kentucky-made and French-finished.
Makers 46 can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a Manhattan. Makers Mark is the perfect gift for Father's Day, Kentucky made in French finished. Makers 46 can be enjoyed neat,
on the rocks, or in a Manhattan.
Makers Mark is perfectly unreasonable about taste,
which is why Makers 46 is finished longer
with seared French oak staves,
resulting in a smooth bourbon base
with notes of caramel and vanilla.
Makers Mark 46 makes their bourbon carefully.
Please enjoy it that way.
Makers Mark 46, their bourbon carefully. Please enjoy it that way. Makers Mark 46 Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey barrel
finished with 10 virgin French oak staves.

2025 Makers Mark Distillery, Inc. Loretto, Kentucky.
And oh, Andy's gonna be so mad.
He wasn't here because his favorite thing
is French oak staves.
Why were you doing it live?
Why were you doing I'm a Boat live on Fallon?
Were you promoting something?
Was it Popstar?
Like why?
No, I think we were promoting the album.
You're talking about the classroom instruments
or you're talking about when we did it on your show
that Fallon used to host.
Yeah, late night.
So that was album.
Yeah, that would have been right around,
what was the date on it?
It must have been right now.
Oh, so you were right.
Cause Fallon was already doing late night when you guys were doing that album.
Yeah.
I'm guessing it was a few weeks after it aired on the show.
It was a hit. And so they invited us to come do it live on the show.
And I think that we did it specifically because we like that song,
but also because you guys wanted like publicly shame me, right?
Yeah, we wanted the dance.
Well, no, we leaned into that to answer that question because we were like,
we're not going to be able to cut around to a bunch of funny shots like in a video, so we need a comedy game
here and obviously there's a clear one.
And me being mean to me is a game to you.
Yes, but to circle back, getting to perform that with the roots was fucking incredible.
That's the short answer.
Yes.
This is the story of three guys who went on a magical adventure and one idiot who did
not.
How much longer after was Classroom Instruments?
That was for Pop Star Press.
Okay. So that said, whose idea was it to do
that song as part of Classroom Instruments?
Who came up with the arrangement?
How many takes did you have to do?
Was it difficult to sing without cursing?
That was all them.
I feel like we did two takes. Is that right?
I think we did it twice.
Did we? I thought we did it once.
I think we rehearsed it once and then just did it once.
Maybe it was that. I'm on a boat, take a good hard look at the mother hunk and boat.
I'm on a boat, Mickey Finky, take a look at me.
Straight floating on a boat on the deeper sea.
Busting five knots, wind whipping at my coat.
You can't stop me, Mickey Finky.
And that was all them, because they're amazing, obviously,
and so they had worked it all out,
except for we figured out what
our replacement curse words would be.
This was a good opportunity for us to steal credit.
We did the arrangement for the roots.
We came in and decided what they would do.
I watched that the other day,
the classroom instruments. I forget why,
maybe my kids were asking about something.
And I was pleasantly surprised that we sounded like the record,
even though it's classroom instruments.
Oh, nice.
I was like, hey, we could really do it.
We sound totally like normal and like the record.
For the amount we always talk about faking it, I was like, hey, look at that.
Can't fake that.
It's a single shot.
Wait, I got a question with that.
Do you think it was easier, Keef, because there's less noise when you're doing it?
And you know what I mean? There was less jumping around and shit, right? It's certainly easier when you're doing it. And you know what I mean?
Like, there was less jumping around and shit, right?
So, like...
It's certainly easier because you're sitting
and not, like, getting out of breath, moving around.
All right, question answered. Thanks.
I also just want to shout out Classroom Instruments
as a fantastic late night bit. Yeah.
Agreed.
And really inventive and unique and cool.
By the way, speaking of Popstar, it just went back on Netflix.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's promote. Shout out to Popstar. By the way, speaking of Popstar, it just went back on Netflix. Yeah, oh yeah, let's promote.
Shout out to Popstar.
Check it out, guys.
It was never on Netflix,
so it's been nine years since it came out.
Where has it been?
Where have people streamed it
when they've wanted to stream it?
It bounces around, like it was just on Prime,
and for the first like four years,
it was, I forget where,
but it was somewhere where it was really hard to see
except for Renting It, which was annoying to us.
The moment it came out and people didn't see it in theaters,
we were like, God, I wish it was on Netflix right now,
because we felt like it could have been maybe big
if it had just come to people.
And then, you know, Netflix just has a region.
Big relative.
Yeah, relative to zero.
Yeah, bigger than abject.
Bigger. We thought maybe it was...
You guys, your opening weekend really established
that big wouldn't have to be much.
Yeah, we were not, like,'t have to be much. No.
Yeah, we were not aiming for Suits numbers here.
No.
And you were even saying that before Suits was a hit on Netflix.
Correct.
No, we were just going for USA Suits numbers.
I remember I go, how is your opening weekend?
And you said, it's not Suits.
And I was like, the USA show?
Yeah, it was like USA Suits numbers, yeah.
Yeah.
Wait, hold on. Can we just ask... So Andy, sorry, what are you eating right now?
What is that?
Oh, it's an apple, still the same apple.
Oh, is it?
Oh, great.
He's to the quiet part of the apple.
And again, to everyone listening, I apologize, this is Seth's fault.
All right, and I also apologize to everybody else to get to work before 930 for the way
Andy's behaving.
Twisting my words.
This is great because there's a question at the end of it,
but it's a real right turn.
It feels like a story with a question.
So I'm just gonna read it.
This is from Jace.
Hey guys, huge fan.
I actually threw my boyfriend,
who is now my husband,
a Lonely Island birthday theme party in 2011.
And we all dressed up from our favorite short.
The best part was the guys whose house,
who hosted had a deep sea fishing boat
in the front yard because he was from
the Mississippi Coast Guard.
So of course we all sang, I'm on a boat dressed as creeps
having threesomes.
Anyways, I've got to know, what kind of job does Andy drink?
What a great turn.
Thank you for asking that question exactly the right way.
Yeah.
You know, for a long time, I was a Tay guy.
Tay's all day.
Mm-hmm.
You know, my wife, then girlfriend.
Sorry, I don't know what that means.
What is that?
Oh, latte.
Oh, Tay.
Tay's all day.
And you know, in New York, I would get Tay's.
And we would get Tay's in the office.
We would get Blue Bottle.
I think we've talked about that before.
Mm-hmm.
And now I get my beans from Go Get Em Tiger.
All right, look at that, that's a really good answer.
Succinct.
Whoa.
You're gonna burn me.
Really, an Alex Bays-esque burn from Yoram.
Wait.
Succinct.
I have a follow up on I'm On A Boat here from my wife.
So Seth, you reached out to her.
Yes, my memory, Keev, was that she
told me that that was the hottest she'd ever seen you was in I'm On A Boat. And I asked her to record
a voice note. It looks really long for the record. Who gives a shit? She's funny. Yeah, she's the best.
Hi everyone. This is Liz Kikowski married to Akiva Schaffer.
That's how you say his last name, Schaffer.
So Seth sent me a text yesterday that said,
want to send me a VN saying how hot you thought Liv was in
I'm on a Boat recording in an hour.
So a few things there.
You know, didn't double check.
He meant Keev, but it came up as Liv.
But here's my voice note.
And I have to say, yes, of course, Keeva looks very handsome, and I'm on a boat, and I bet
you remember something of like when they did it, me sort of watching during dress and air
and being like, he looks so good. Um, and of course he does.
He looks great, but...
It's why I married her, I guess.
You know, it's a bit basic of how he looks hot
and I'm on a boat, like a tux look and all that stuff.
And I think I just have different, like, fetishes going on.
It's not my number one Akiva hotness for me of the videos. And yes, I use
his full name Akiva because it's a beautiful name, so I don't shorten to Keev.
Thank you.
When I met him and I heard his name, I think I said something like, oh, that's such a
beautiful name for a golden retriever. So yeah, I had game. My top hot Akiva vid for Lonely Island is Yolo.
That's my number one.
Love him in diaper money.
And then old school, I love him in Stork Patrol.
And now that feels kind of creepy because he's so young, but I did meet him like two
years after Stork Patrol. so I think that's okay. He's so cute and I mean I guess I have
you know a type and that type is just going to be a little bit I'm going to say more interesting,
more nuanced than you know a basic oh he looks hot and I'm on a boat.
Because I'm somebody like my celebrity crush is an Eddie Redmayne, love a Daniel Radcliffe,
out of all of the chipmunks, I said, whoa, who's that guy?
Google that image if you need to.
I loved Pommel Horse Guy.
You know, there's that.
OK, does this suffice?
Is this a VN for Liv?
Where's that? Okay, does this suffice?
Is this a VN for Liv?
Yeah.
Reasons.
I guess we should let her watch those finished Lone Island.
She might find three new hugs.
Yeah, she might have a new crush.
Also, I'd love to go back.
Were you bummed, Keev, when she was like,
I think Keev's hot, now I'm gonna do a list of other people
I think are hot? Were you like, no, no, no, no.
I knew it was gonna be Burns.
I knew, but honestly, not lies, just Burns.
Yeah, yeah, just Burns.
But it is the truth.
Yes.
But also not even, not just true that I look like them,
but true that she is attracted to them.
She didn't specify this, but I assume she meant
Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking.
Of course.
It's so weird that I did know that about Liz,
that Eddie Redmayne was on that list.
That only came up for the first time.
She mentioned something, like, weeks ago,
and I was like, what?
And no offense to Eddie Redmayne.
She told me.
I was just shocked.
I thought Eddie Redmayne, I thought very handsome in,
what, Jackal.
Haven't seen.
It's good.
I'm the original The Jackal movie guy.
Of course. So I couldn't just watch this one.
Keith, I thought your favorite Jackal was
Alice in Janie's performance in the West Wing.
That is my favorite Jackal.
I do have a website if anybody wants to check.
Sorry, can we promote side things?
It's about my, it's like my listicle,
and it's like favorite Jackals is like the number,
most popular one on there.
Alice in Janie, that is a, I mean, that maybe is a deeper cut that like Sipowitz in the shower.
Well, I know about it because of Keev and Liz. They love that.
But the Jackal, the Jackal is also like a passed around. It's like Kim Cattrall doing her jazz.
You know, it's like a passed around web clip where people know the Jackal that haven't even watched the West Wing.
Seth, are we ignoring the fact that there's another kind of jackal?
You mean the people who comment on my YouTube page?
Yeah, that's right. I feel like if you ignore them
after talking a lot about jackals,
then it might be a bad move on your part.
I kind of wanted to maybe teach them a lesson
that sometimes people are gonna talk about jackals,
and it's not about you.
Ah!
Yeah, so take that, jackals.
I would take a big bite of my apple right now, but it's done.
Jackals, everybody, corrections.
Watch it on YouTube.
It's the favorite thing I do in my late night talk show,
and it's not even on TV.
There's also the Jackals from The Lion King,
and there's the Jackals from The Lion King live action
computer animated remake.
I'm going to say hyenas, right?
Aren't they hyenas?
Oh, they're hyenas.
Fuck me.
Erase that!
Go get them, Jackals.
Correct them.
That's by far the most humiliating thing
I've said on this pod.
Delete it!
Oh, my God.
Keep this stuff about me looking like Edward Snowden, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep that.
Hey, can you go back to the, uh, just when Liz says,
-"Daniel Radcliffe"? Because I do feel like she said...
She puts a T on the end. She says Radcliffe.
So for someone calling out Liv so much in Autocraft...
That's what I mean!
She definitely said Daniel Radclift, which is...
Well, she could have been talking about a different guy.
Yeah, maybe there's a Radclift.
Like an even nerdier guy.
Oh, oh, oh.
She knows somebody else.
She was like, oh, she's into Keeves, so like, the regular Daniel Radclift is way too ripped
for her.
Yeah, it's his stand-in, Daniel Radclift.
Hey, if you're out there and your name is Daniel Radcliffe and you're listening to this right now, all apologies,
Nirvana ref.
Quaid, what are you cooking?
What's on the stove, Quaid?
I got one last little thing about Liz's voice note.
For all of our listeners out there, if you can guess,
there is a right answer to this, if you can guess,
who is the Theodore and who is the Alvin out of the rest of us,
you win a prize.
It is really crystal clear. Yeah. prize. It is really crystal clear.
Yeah.
It is really crystal clear who's who.
I kind of like that. I want to think that like
years ago you guys weren't put together
because you grew up together, but a manager
put you together and he was like
look here's how it works. What do you use
in Alvin? What do you use in Simon?
What do you use in Theodore? That's how
it works. You can't even blurs. Nobody likes it.
And I was like, who's who?
We're all three Alvins. You guys all thought you were Alvins.
Can I say one other thing, Seth?
Yeah, keep going, man.
I will say on the Alvin and the Chipmunks thing,
it's an interesting process getting older, and I would argue maturing.
I know that's hard to believe right now.
But when I was a kid, I'd be like, man, you want to be Aluring. I know that's hard to believe right now.
But when I was a kid, I'd be like, man,
you wanna be Alvin.
Front and center, he's the guy.
And then now when you watch Alvin,
you're like, oh, this kid is fucking annoying.
You know who I like?
Theodore and Simon.
Some nice, thoughtful guys.
One of them's sweet and one's smart.
One's sweet, one's smart,
the other one's just like, look at me!
Is it bad that I'm like, you know who I associate myself with?
Dave.
Dave.
Yeah, I'm a Dave now.
Come on, you guys.
You guys.
You guys.
You gotta listen.
You gotta listen.
Is anyone listening to me?
Alvin, I'm gonna strangle you to death, you piece of shit!
Oh, am I not allowed to say that now, modern parenting?
That's Dave saying.
Oh my God, the amount, I will sometimes say to my kids,
but you hear me, right?
You hear me.
I just am now, I'm like checking on your ears.
And they're like, yeah, we hear you.
There was a moment that I gave up,
there was a video of me and my friend
chasing our kids into an elevator,
and the amount that I was like,
there's no point to me talking, just watching it back.
I was like, why do I have my mouth?
I want to shout out Jeff, who's not a member of this pod
and will not get a five-way split with us,
but he's been compiling I'm On A Boat questions
over the course of this pod.
And so it's been very helpful.
All right, Steven wrote this comment in September of 2024.
As a 47 year old adult,
I've always called them flippy floppies post I'm on a boat.
To me, it's one of the biggest cultural phrases,
the group you put out there to the masses.
Any other examples come to mind that people say
while you are walking around foggy London town
or heading to the Indigo Girls.
I feel like, I mean, I know that flippy floppies
is impossible not to think when I see
a pair of flip flops now.
I like that.
Yeah.
Well, there was one that I mentioned earlier,
but I think I've mentioned it on this pod,
that me and Andy in particular, and also Keev,
used to call coffee crawdad.
But that didn't really spread.
Yeah, I would say that's the opposite of what Stephen's
asking about.
I mean, he's asking for other Quades, right?
Because Quade is one of them that now has caught on.
I mean, weirdly, Quade Army is like top three right now.
I know.
Yeah, but also Righteous Kill.
So he's saying, what else is in the Righteous Kill Quade
world? Is that the question? Or is's saying, what else is in the Righteous Killed Quaid world?
Oh, I see, yeah.
Is that the question? Or is he saying,
what other things from our things...
From our stuff that people say to us.
Yeah, he's saying, is there anything else
from your stuff that is gone?
I would say Double True and Crazy Delicious,
both caught on from the very first thing,
from Lazy Sunday, but...
There's probably a bunch more.
I mean, I once had a thing on the street
where a guy was walking with his daughter,
and she was like 10.
She was like,
Hey, Andy, I just jizzed in my pants.
And I went, Oh, no!
And I crammed the opposite direction.
It's like, I'm so sorry!
That did actually happen.
Uh...
Oh, God.
Bless her.
Wait, I have one more Righteous Kill.
This came from Yhorm, I believe,
but we say Me Likey That a lot. Oh, yeah.
That did become...
We made the song, we don't say it because of the song
we made for Popstar, we've said it for years
and made the song because YORM said it for years.
So much so in like editing when we're working with an editor
and we go, okay, me likey that, we would go MLD.
We do say MLD a lot.
We do the me text MLD.
Okay, MLD.
Yeah, MLD, MLD. And then the mutex MLD. Okay, MLD. Yeah, MLD, MLD.
And then my editor recently started saying NLD for no likey-dack.
For no likey-dack.
There you go, no likey-dack.
So you implemented it.
Yes, Jeremy.
We used to have a lot of things in mixing with decibels, with dBs, with dibbles.
Yeah, dibbles.
And we would have a whole, we had a whole code system, but I can't remember it now,
for half dibbles.
It got really complicated though,
cause at a certain point, half a dibble meant three dibbles.
Right?
Remember where it was like a code system where they-
It got really weird.
Yeah.
But I remember that a peg,
if you were going to take someone down a peg,
it was four dibbles.
That's what I mean.
We had a whole, and a dibble was just a DB,
meaning a decibel for mixing.
And we'd be like, ooh, I'm way too loud on that line. Take
me down a peg. And then we'd be like, well, take me down half a peg. And that meant two dibbles,
which is two dBs, which is two decibels. Yes. Can you imagine how irritating?
And it starts as a bit, and then you find yourself in these moments where we're like,
I'm actually thinking at that moment. And then all of us together go half a dibble. Yes. I was also
thinking just half a dibble,
just a little nudge-a-roo.
Yeah.
Can you imagine how irritating that is for our mixer?
But then he would start talking like us.
He'd be like, yeah, I'll take this down half a peg.
We're like half a peg, right?
2BG.
So good.
This is from Nikki.
She even says, not a question, a story.
My son, Cohen, now 13, huge Berklin Nine-Nine fan since he was seven or eight.
He knows more about Berklin Nine-Nine than I've ever met.
In grade four, dressed like Jake Peralta every day for months.
Hot Rod is his desert island movie.
Anyway, about four or five years ago,
I told him Andy was part of the Loneland and they had songs he could listen to.
He's beyond jazz.
Lazy Sunday was the intro as I felt it was the most PG.
Listen to it on repeat and I mean repeat.
I love you guys, but it was brutal.
Then he found a radio edit version of I'm On A Boat,
which was cool because hearing my then nine-year-old
singing about fucking a mermaid just wasn't in the cards.
I'm On A Boat became the new Lazy Sunday,
number one song on Spotify roundup,
whopping 300 plus listens.
Oh my God.
But then a few years ago, when he got a bit older,
he came to me and laid out his case,
saying he was old and mature enough
to handle the unedited version.
Impressed with his moxie, I led him.
Later that night, while he was having a shower
and singing along to I'm on a Boat, uncut version,
and the part about the mermaid was nearing,
he sang right up to it, paused,
and then continued when it was over.
So he did not sing.
Good boy.
She said it was cute as hell.
Anyway, just wanted to pass along how much love of
Lonely Island into greater extent comedy for
her kids you guys have been a part of.
How nice.
Very nice.
Can I add onto that, just note for parents,
both the first two albums are on Spotify censored.
You just have to look up the name of
the album and then you will find a censored version.
But it's a little harder to find it.
We were looking for I'm on a Boat Censored
and it's harder to find.
That's a good tip.
I don't know why the third album isn't
because we did make a version of that, but yeah.

Support comes from Rocket Money, Keev.
Yes, hi.
Prices are going up on just about everything lately.
Maybe you have noticed that.
Yeah, I don't want to point fingers as to who's playing with this, but I've heard a
lot of talk about it.
Yeah.
And so, you know, being smart with your money isn't a good idea. It's essential.
And one of the ways you can do it is managing subscriptions,
tracking spending, cutting costs.
Lucky for you, Rocket Money takes those things
that can sometimes feel overwhelming,
and they take the guesswork right out of it.
So you can easily make smart decisions.
I like the sound of that.
Do you even know what Rocket Money is, Keith?
Can I take a wild guess?
Take a wild guess.
But don't be ad-speaky about it, just in your own words. I mean, if I was going to guess? Take a wild guess, but don't be ad speaky about it. Just in your
own words.
I mean, if I was going to guess it sounds like it's like a
personal finance app that like helps you find unwanted
subscriptions. And then if you do, you could like cancel them.
And or it could pay attention to what I'm spending money on and
monitor it even.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. And it could help lower my bills and help me grow my savings. If I use this and I can't believe how many dumb old subscriptions
I had that I had not canceled multiple subscriptions in some cases where I was the same streaming
service more than once. That's horrible. That's a dumb guy thing. Yeah. And now you can see all
your subscriptions in one place and know exactly where your money is going.
For ones you don't want anymore, Rock of Money can help you cancel them.
Rock of Money has over five million users and has saved a total of $500 million in cancelled
subscriptions, saving members up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps.
Premium features cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster.

but a few quick things in the Alec Baldwin show.
I'm gonna give you the title of a sketch.
You guys tell me what you think it's about.
Do you think you can do it on just the title?
Definitely.
I mean, unlikely.
No.
Sir Mix-A-Lots Photoshop.
Making the butts bigger.
Oh, he makes butts big.
Yeah, see, you underestimate yourself.
I mean, also we were there,
so there's maybe
subconsciously that.
I don't remember it, but that's a...
I definitely don't remember.
That's a layup.
Sounds like a Tucker.
It's actually a, it's a Jost and someone.
It says Keenan, but as we know, these are wrong a lot.
Right.
I will say, it gets a little off in the beginning,
but by the end, it's pretty delightful.
Like, just because he's singing lyrics,
new lyrics to the song. They also early on rhyme, Fonder with Rounder. It gets a little off in the beginning, but by the end, it's pretty delightful. Like just because you sing lyrics,
new lyrics to the song.
They also early on rhyme,
Fonder with rounder,
which hits my ears pretty bad.
Yeah, it's unacceptable.
Oh, somebody's back in the game.
And here at Sir Misluck Photoshop,
we put every photo through a rigorous evaluation process.
To ensure that the butt is large enough,
I show each and every photo to sniffles,
my pet anaconda, because you see,
my anaconda don't want none unless you got butt time.
Jerry and Carl return.
I kind of forgot that post-Fartface,
they would do another one.
Oh, and what's this one?
That means I also forgot that Forte can hear an audience
and think that things are going any way other than how it's going in his brain. What was the phrase this one? That means I also forgot that Forte can hear an audience and think that things are going any way
other than how it's going in his brain.
What was the phrase this time?
It was still Carol Hull My Calls.
There was not a phrase.
It was all about that it was him, Bill, and Alec
were trying to schedule a meeting.
And I would say the comedy was about what they had planned
that they couldn't all meet on those days.
It's a little bit, you know what, you should watch it, Andy,
because I think it'll really plug into your frustrations
on us scheduling the pod.
Oh, wonderful.
Will comes out with a tiny tuft of hair
on the front of his bald head.
And then way later in the sketch
than you think they would address it, he says,
Well, Tuesday's no good for me.
I gotta get fitted for a new toupee.
This one just doesn't quite give me
the coverage I was hoping for.
What patience.
I wouldn't say it plays,
but there's some really good writing in it.
At one point they say, how's Saturday for you?
And Forte says, oh, that depends.
How long does an autopsy take?
And Bill says, I don't know, about four hours.
And he goes, four times five?
No, Saturday's not gonna work.
It's like a Simpsons joke.
And then though, there's a nice little
call forward to sushi glory hole.
Next Monday's bad for me.
I'll be at a gas station bathroom in Queens.
They have a glory hole there that I really, really enjoy.
I'm volunteering at a glory hole on Monday.
1130? 1130.
No way.
Where?
73rd and Broadway.
I'll see you there.
No you won't.
It's a glory hole.
And I will say based on the reaction, I feel like maybe it does prove the point that not
everybody knows what a glory hole is.
And then we got a real quick Seth's Corner.
Norm?
Seth's Corner, here's the part of the show where Seth talks about some bullshit that he did that week.
Just kidding, Seth, I love your stuff.
Fourth Jonas Brother, Alec played the fourth
Jonas Brother, it's about as down the middle
as Sir Mix-A-Lots Photoshop, we'll leave it at that.
All right, here we go.
What is the name of this digital short again?
Property of the Queen.
Property of the Queen.
Because that's the name of the band. I just want to start by saying,
and then I'll turn it over to you guys,
the really funny thing about this short
is that it's the first short after I'm on a Boat.
That is really funny.
Like, I'm on a Boat is so big and beautiful
and an immediate hit, and it is such a...
I mean, I really kind of want everybody
who writes comedy to know that the biggest mistake you can make
is thinking the last thing you do
is gonna be the next thing you do.
Like, it's never, it's not any easier
to do it after you did a good one.
Well, it's also like, I try to remind myself this now,
because I still watch SNL every week.
And when I get in the, like, viewer mode of like,
man, I wish that had been this, this, and that, I'm like,
who knows what circumstances led to this existing?
Who knows what else was at the table?
Or if there's, like, any laughs, I'm just like, great.
Everyone did a great job. It's so stressful.
A million things are working against you at all times
because it's putting together a show in three days,
which makes no sense.
This was an instance of the Jonas Brothers
were coming in, they were red hot.
We didn't know much about them, but we knew it was like a thing.
Yeah.
They wanted to do a short, which we were happy to do.
We met them and they were absolutely lovely.
And they had all these songs already written, pretty much.
They're like, when we're like hanging out
and goofing around in the studio
or on tour, we write these like lamb band songs and we have them all done.
Yeah.
God, I didn't remember that part.
Cause they were good.
They're like good.
I was going to compliment you guys and now I'm very happy that I
can give it to someone else.
They're the meat of the thing because it's what they already had done and
what they wanted to do.
And we were like, who am I to blow against the wind?
Um, I think partially because of I'm on a boat too.
Like just being like, well, we've made our personal
statement last week.
We don't need to say, we can take our egos completely out
of the short now and just do something to help service
the musical guests.
I mean, it's also, it's not like we had some idea for it.
We were like, great.
So I think they had the songs and we kind of backed
into the premise based on those songs
because they were clearly like from another era and that's why they thought it was fun and funny
and that they were doing it specifically because their real music was pop and not like those songs.
Yeah.
It is a slightly weird thing in rewatching it that we sort of introduce the idea that they're Highlanders
and this is going to be them going through all eras of music and then it just sort of sticks with big hair.
Yeah.
Jams, right? Like, I mean, kind of.
Yeah.
Yeah. I think a different version of this where
maybe they don't come in with this catalog of music,
you write through the years, different styles.
In my mind, that's what it was.
Then re-watching it, I was like, oh, didn't do it.
There's like a funk band and a disco band,
and then there's like an old timey band,
and then maybe like 80s electro thing.
So you come in, they say, hey, Andy, what's up?
And you say, the jig, the jig is up,
because you've caught them dead to rights,
we don't know why.
You take out a VHS tape,
and then there's a very nice laugh,
where you lean down and there's only a DVD player.
Now we got texted this, Is this one not online?
I don't think it is online and I don't quite know why.
I wonder why because that's their music.
Yeah, I don't understand.
It would be fun to see how many less views it has than the Finnish sauna song.
So I'd like to find it in my text thread and because it's not online, do our...
Oh yeah, do Stop Start. I will say a lot of compliments on Stop Start in the YouTube comments.
Yeah, well this one, I mean, I wouldn't have thought it needs it because it doesn't have
that many moves or things to talk about necessarily, especially because we didn't make the music.
But because they literally can't find it, then I think it's actually kind of necessary.
Yeah, let's do it.
You're right.
Gosh, Keev, you know what?
I just always have the Quades in mind.
You are. You think of Quades first.
As the Simon of the group, I try to think about the Quades a lot.
And remember, guys, we don't know who is who for the other two characters.
So, weigh in.
Yeah, weigh in in the comments. It could be either.
Oh, my God.
We don't know right now.
Please let me be Theodore just to be free like that.
I don't have to think about anything or worry.
I'm so tired. I'm so tired of being the Alvin.
I can't fucking do it anymore. Just worry. I'm so tired. I'm so tired of being the Alvin.
I can't fucking do it anymore.
Just put me out of my fucking overacting misery.
Three Theodores.
Oh, we're all begging to be three.
Oh, y'all, I forgot to mention, we all took truth serum
at the top of this.
Truth serum.
FBI loaned us some truth serum.
CIA, FBI.
Who has it?
I literally thought FBI was slang.
And then I was like, oh, no, he means the FBI gave him truth serum. Doesn't FBI have truth serum, or is it CIA, Seth? You're the duty? I literally thought FBI was slang. And then I was like, oh no, he means the FBI
gave him truth serum.
Doesn't FBI have truth serum or is it CIA, Seth?
You're the guy who knows the truth.
I don't know, I don't think there's such a thing
as truth serum.
I bet there is.
Oh, what?
It's probably like a version of ecstasy or something.
Okay.
All right, who's gonna play this for us?
I got it right here.
Merciful 235.
All right, dressing room on nine.
Hey Andy. What's up, Andy?
What's up?
The jig.
The jig is up.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about your secret.
I know what it is.
And I have the VHS tape to prove it.
So a little joke here.
He takes out the VHS tape, and then it's a DVD player that he's
trying to get it to go into the little, what's that little disc, the disc tray, I would call
it.
Did you guys also find it haunting when you realized now that's a DVD player is as old
as a VHS player was when you made this?
Yeah, people still wouldn't understand what that other machine is either.
He's gonna have to try to push them all into a router now.
A slight tangent on DVD players.
A friend of mine used to get really drunk in high school, don't drink, underage guys,
and he would wake up at night and open his DVD player, his five disc DVD player,
and then pee into it.
All right, keep going.
Like sleepwalking.
When you first saw the three of them on the couch, were you like, oh my God, it's the Finnish group
that sings about saunas?
It does, they do look a little bit now,
knowing that now.
Maybe they are Highlanders.
In terms of the trios of white guys,
Jonas Brothers does fit firmly
into the Lonely Island workaholics,
Everything Sunny in Philadelphia.
Yeah, and then the name of,
hold on, I gotta look it up again.
The Finnish...
There was a good song, I wanna give them their shout-out.
As Rolling Stone called him, the Swedish Lonely Island.
Burn.
Where's your guys VCR?
Seven hours later, he...
You turds got anything to say before I play this?
I appreciated that you tried to slam the tape, the VHS tape into it, but it's got the thing
that stops it from being able to be slammed in.
I do like this song.
We got Keenan on the keys.
Bobby Monahan on the keys.
Bobby Monahan on the drums.
Bobby Keenan and Forte doing really good work here.
I got struck by lightning, but I'm not dead.
I think I just liked the line, I got struck by lightning and it really hurt.
I don't know what you're talking about Andy.
This tape is from 1983.
Crazy.
Shall we watch another one? ["I'm From Africa"]
Some space Olympics effects there.
Yeah, some good Yoram effects.
["I'm From Africa"]
Forte.
Forte's looking like Richard Simmons.
Yeah.
I like commenting on the sort of mini trend
of writing songs about Africa in the 70s and 80s.
Yeah, I did think that was...
And again, if it's credit to them, I'm impressed.
It is mercifully short, that one.
Yeah. It is, for sure.
That's from 25 years ago.
Really holds up.
That's not the point.
What are you? Highlanders?
Come on, man.
Okay. Let's just watch another one, then.
Just as fans. -♪ Mm- stuff proves anything. One more!
I do like that joke. Didn't get a laugh though.
No. Bill's a laugh, though. No.
Bill's a very good wizard.
Shut up, Nick.
Shut up, Nick.
He knows.
I'm not going to throw it all away.
I don't want your money.
I just want to know how you stayed so young.
This guy.
What up, dude?
How are you?
It's crazy, right?
Hey.
Punchy, punchy end?
Yeah.
I mean, Bill, not a lot to work with and just exceptional delivery and gets a nice laugh.
Mm-hmm.
Basically one of his old buddies from Tulsa
in a wizard costume with a beard.
That's exactly what I think.
I'm just like, that's what it was like growing up for Bill.
I like the Bill reveal.
I like the song saying the exact episode we are currently in
is when they were going gonna rock on SNL.
Ask the Wizard is a song that I like hearing.
Yeah.
That one's good.
I think it's so funny you said that when you're like,
how does somebody like Bill Hader
turn out to be Bill Hader?
And I think the answer is like,
he's from Tulsa and his best friend was a wizard.
Wait, wait.
Just like a laid back wizard.
All right, so you know, it is what it is.
Yeah, it's not Criterion, it's not Kim's video,
but it's nice and we like them and they did a good job.
It also is a very nice host service.
I'm sorry, not host service, musical guest service.
I think it was a show where people were really excited to see them.
I mean, it's weird. They were in a sketch and then also in a short,
and then also had two songs.
Credit to Alec for making room for that.
Did we record with those guys at their studio?
I feel like we went to a very high-end studio and
met those guys and I remember being like,
these guys are really sweet young men.
Yeah, it was a nice New York studio.
They're real musicians. They really just do it, which is awesome.
Also, Jack McBrayer is in the monologue,
because the monologue is about 30 Rock.
I believe that's when Jack met the Jonas Brothers,
and they are all friends to this day.
In fact, they're such good friends that we did a day drinking
with the Jonas Brothers, with me, my brother, and Jack McBurn.
I remember that.
It's so funny that I think of them as so young
that I was like, that's inappropriate.
They shouldn't be drinking.
Oh, now they're fine.
Yeah, it's fine now.
At the time, not okay.
Well, I mean, I feel like that's about as fast as we're ever going to go through a short,
but I feel like there was some real meat on the bone before that.
You know what?
I'm looking at the rundown and an interesting just tidbit is that hot air balloon number
one played again.
Yes.
That's for Janya Horrissens.
It was just whatever length it was that was so short, they just kind of kept it handy
when they needed it for, I'm sure, just commercial break
reasons.
I have a follow-up on the dibbles thing.
I remembered that a rung was three dibbles.
So if you need to use that in mix, guys.
Oh, a rung.
Like take it up a rung or take it down a rung.
Yeah, rung was three dibbles.
Take it down a peg, take it up a peg, take it up a rung.
Wow. Yeah. We didn't a rung. Wow, yeah.
We didn't use rung that much.
No.
It was usually half pegs.
I remembered another Yoruma-ism that he says a lot
that we say in our circle, which is when things are awesome,
he'll go, oh, it's like an AMPM situation.
Right.
Then people go, well, he goes, too much good stuff.
Yeah.
He should make a shirt.
Honestly, he uses it constantly.
Wait, why is AMPM too much good stuff?
That's their slogan.
Yeah, AMPM Mini Marts.
That was their slogan for a really long time.
Their catchphrase is that's too much good stuff.
Too much good stuff, right?
AMPM.
Oh, Andy has one about Taco Bell too.
Just talking about being breakfast defectors.
Oh yeah, I have gone on long, long stretches of time
where I like to talk about being a breakfast defectors. Oh, yeah. I have gone on long, long stretches of time where I like to talk about being a breakfast
defector.
And I do legitimately, without any humor anymore, say, let's think outside the button.
Yeah, that is true.
Yeah, you do say that.
That one I don't like, because other people say that.
And just anyone witnessing us knows we live moss.
Yeah.
So we do live moss.
We're not afraid to live moss.
But like when you're doing something crazy edgy, Seth, you're like, I guess I'm just a breakfast defector.
You're remaking the Robin Williams movie,
A Mosque on the Hudson,
but you're just defecting from breakfast.
That's right.
That's your loco.
We're not afraid of fourth meal, Seth.
That's right.
Bring it on.
Anyway, I'm Teddy Taco Bell, representatives are out there.
We already made a hit ad for Doritos.
We like doing ads we don't get paid for.
You don't see this on the rundown often, which is under the cut for dress section on the
right, where it tells you everything that was cut after dress.
And sometimes there's cut at air or whatever it's called.
This is an added on air, meaning it wasn't a dress.
It wasn't even part of the plan.
And that is hot air balloon. So it wasn't even like of the plan, and that is Hot Air Balloon.
So it wasn't even, like they had in their back pocket
for when they get screwed basically,
because it's a live show and they look at the time.
Wait, are you saying that it hadn't aired
and it aired this one time or it aired more than it aired
before, wow.
This is an emergency situation because they looked at
how much time left was in the show.
Commercial parodies used to air like three times a year,
the same ones.
Exactly, they saw that whatever first coughs is,
which was the final, you know, five to one sketch,
wasn't long enough to get you to the 1 a.m.
And they still...
I remember, now that you mention it, Keefe,
they realized last minute they needed Horsens
and nobody could find it.
And Lorne was like,
I'll get it.
And he was like running down the hallway.
It was like Joan Kuszak in broadcast news.
And he had to like, just like, dodging people.
It's in my desk.
And it was just...
He's like, I know where it is.
I've got a backup order.
It's gotta be in here somewhere.
And he just, I mean, I remember he made it.
And it's maybe the happiest, like second to the 50th,
it's the happiest I've seen him.
Like he was like, I can't believe I got it.
You've been saying stuff ever since, I'll get it,
but I've been laughing at that the whole time.
Did you see how fast I was booking?
I'll get it.
I was just booking down those halls.
Oh my God, did you see how fast I went?
Oh my God, and then the elevator didn't come,
I was like, fuck.
I mean, Andy, come on, the morning pod
worked out well for you.
This is it.
This is it.
This is great.
Let's always do it this early.
This is great.
Work it out for me, I'll tell you that.
Yeah, yeah.
New York 130.
I feel like Andy was in such a good mood
about this, Lauren, but he forgot he was on a pod for a second.
And then you brought him.
Don't say it.
I said it and the light just went out of his eyes.
He was like, oh right, that's what this is.
Oh yeah, right, fuck you guys.
That's right.
It was like the end of the movie Brazil
where you think Jonathan Bray has escaped
and then you're like, oh.
Spoiler!
Yeah, come on.
Well, it was a pleasure.
That was really fun.
All right, love you guys.
Love you, Seth.
Love you, buds.
Love you. Take care, take care out there. Be safe out there. Be safe out you guys. Love you, Seth. Love you, buds.
Love you.
Take care.
Take care out there.
Be safe out there.
Be safe out there.
Be good.
Be well.
