Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:09 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.
Starting point is 00:00:20 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.
Starting point is 00:00:32 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.
Starting point is 00:00:44 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
Starting point is 00:00:58 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.
Starting point is 00:01:18 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?
Starting point is 00:01:52 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.
Starting point is 00:02:07 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,
Starting point is 00:02:25 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.
Starting point is 00:02:39 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.
Starting point is 00:02:57 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.
Starting point is 00:03:10 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.
Starting point is 00:03:22 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!
Starting point is 00:03:33 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.
Starting point is 00:03:55 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:25 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.
Starting point is 00:04:42 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.
Starting point is 00:05:01 They never bothered to explain his Chicago accent. 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.
Starting point is 00:05:18 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.
Starting point is 00:05:28 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.
Starting point is 00:05:42 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.
Starting point is 00:05:57 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,
Starting point is 00:06:17 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.
Starting point is 00:06:36 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?
Starting point is 00:07:10 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.
Starting point is 00:07:22 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.
Starting point is 00:07:39 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.
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:12 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-
Starting point is 00:08:22 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.
Starting point is 00:08:38 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
Starting point is 00:08:55 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.
Starting point is 00:09:11 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.
Starting point is 00:09:26 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
Starting point is 00:09:41 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:09 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
Starting point is 00:10:29 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,
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:52 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.
Starting point is 00:11:14 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.
Starting point is 00:11:36 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
Starting point is 00:11:51 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.
Starting point is 00:12:06 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.
Starting point is 00:12:16 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?
Starting point is 00:12:42 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
Starting point is 00:13:24 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.
Starting point is 00:13:37 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.
Starting point is 00:13:49 We're the promoters from Dinkies Nation. Support comes from Wonderful Pistachios. Wonderful Pistachios is the don't hold back snack. They're healthy and they're tasty, so you can snack without holding back. Wonderful Pistachios is the craveable snack that tastes too good to be good for you.

No shells, no limits. Don't hold back on flavors or convenience.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I'll tell you what I like is just eating a ton of pistachios, and I'll tell you what I don't like when I forget to hide the shells, and then my wife comes home and says, did you eat all of the wonderful pistachios? And I say, no, I didn't. And then she'll say, well, where are all these shells from? And I'll say, your guess is as good as mine.

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,

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?
Starting point is 00:15:21 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,

And oh, Andy's gonna be so mad. He wasn't here because his favorite thing
Starting point is 00:16:20 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
Starting point is 00:16:34 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.
Starting point is 00:16:43 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,
Starting point is 00:17:02 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.
Starting point is 00:17:44 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.
Starting point is 00:17:57 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.
Starting point is 00:18:18 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.
Starting point is 00:18:37 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.
Starting point is 00:18:52 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...
Starting point is 00:19:09 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.
Starting point is 00:19:24 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?
Starting point is 00:19:34 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
Starting point is 00:19:49 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.
Starting point is 00:20:04 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.
Starting point is 00:20:18 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.
Starting point is 00:20:32 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.
Starting point is 00:20:51 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,
Starting point is 00:21:02 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.
Starting point is 00:21:24 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.
Starting point is 00:21:34 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.
Starting point is 00:21:45 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.
Starting point is 00:22:02 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
Starting point is 00:22:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:05 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.
Starting point is 00:23:34 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,
Starting point is 00:24:21 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?
Starting point is 00:25:02 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.
Starting point is 00:25:17 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.
Starting point is 00:25:32 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.
Starting point is 00:25:49 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.
Starting point is 00:26:01 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?
Starting point is 00:26:17 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?
Starting point is 00:26:45 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!
Starting point is 00:27:00 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
Starting point is 00:27:14 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.
Starting point is 00:27:21 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...
Starting point is 00:27:39 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.
Starting point is 00:27:53 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?
Starting point is 00:28:10 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.
Starting point is 00:28:30 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.
Starting point is 00:28:47 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.
Starting point is 00:29:05 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.
Starting point is 00:29:20 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.
Starting point is 00:29:33 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 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,
Starting point is 00:30:02 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.
Starting point is 00:30:19 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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,
Starting point is 00:30:48 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.
Starting point is 00:31:01 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
Starting point is 00:31:12 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.
Starting point is 00:31:27 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.
Starting point is 00:31:39 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.
Starting point is 00:31:53 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.
Starting point is 00:32:11 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,
Starting point is 00:32:25 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.
Starting point is 00:32:37 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
Starting point is 00:33:03 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.
Starting point is 00:33:18 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,
Starting point is 00:33:34 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.
Starting point is 00:33:52 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.
Starting point is 00:34:07 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.
Starting point is 00:34:21 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.
Starting point is 00:34:38 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.

All right, we're gonna get to the short, 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.
Starting point is 00:37:37 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...
Starting point is 00:37:49 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.
Starting point is 00:38:03 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.
Starting point is 00:38:16 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,
Starting point is 00:38:38 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.
Starting point is 00:38:52 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.
Starting point is 00:39:09 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.
Starting point is 00:39:25 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?
Starting point is 00:39:42 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.
Starting point is 00:40:04 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
Starting point is 00:40:15 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.
Starting point is 00:40:36 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.
Starting point is 00:40:52 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
Starting point is 00:41:12 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.
Starting point is 00:41:36 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.
Starting point is 00:41:52 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.
Starting point is 00:42:11 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.
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:42:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:11 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,
Starting point is 00:43:28 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.
Starting point is 00:43:45 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
Starting point is 00:44:11 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.
Starting point is 00:44:28 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.
Starting point is 00:44:44 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.
Starting point is 00:44:57 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.
Starting point is 00:45:09 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.
Starting point is 00:45:20 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.
Starting point is 00:45:34 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?
Starting point is 00:45:59 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.
Starting point is 00:46:23 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,
Starting point is 00:46:40 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?
Starting point is 00:46:58 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.
Starting point is 00:47:27 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.
Starting point is 00:47:50 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...
Starting point is 00:48:09 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.
Starting point is 00:48:25 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.
Starting point is 00:49:07 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.
Starting point is 00:49:21 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.
Starting point is 00:49:36 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
Starting point is 00:49:54 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.
Starting point is 00:50:09 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
Starting point is 00:50:29 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.
Starting point is 00:50:48 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.
Starting point is 00:51:02 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.
Starting point is 00:51:19 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.
Starting point is 00:51:40 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,
Starting point is 00:51:54 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.
Starting point is 00:52:07 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
Starting point is 00:52:24 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.
Starting point is 00:52:39 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.
Starting point is 00:52:54 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.
Starting point is 00:53:16 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
Starting point is 00:53:32 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,
Starting point is 00:53:48 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.
Starting point is 00:54:01 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.
Starting point is 00:54:15 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.
Starting point is 00:54:32 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.
Starting point is 00:54:50 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.
Starting point is 00:55:03 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.
Starting point is 00:55:14 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.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Love you. Take care. Take care out there. Be safe out there. Be safe out there. Be good. Be well. Hey, hey, it's the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast Show.
