It's the lonely island and Seth Myers podcast.
Hey, what's up, dudes?
Andy's back.
Andy's back.
How is your vibe?
Because we received some feedback that your vibe on the first show you were gone for,
you came in really hot on the voice note.
And the second one was a little different.
I was unwell.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People noticed.
Yeah, I crashed out.
Yeah.
Here's what somebody said.
Dude, someone needs to check in on him.
Last week, he was frothing with rage, and this week he sounds like he's looking at the churning blackness of the water as it crashes to the shore of the cliff you're standing on.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not bipolar, though.
Is that what they're implying?
I don't know.
They also then added that either that or he just woke up, which is, I mean, that means they really know you.
I was pretty rundown.
You know, summertime with the family, Seth.
And Keev, you know about this, too.
Sure.
Yorne would as well, would he have been here?
You know, sometimes it happens.
I hold no grudges.
I'm happy for Yorm to miss the pot.
He said he might join.
Yeah.
And if he does, that be great.
And if not, it's okay.
No judge.
No judge.
Yeah.
But there are moments where it becomes too much and you break.
Yeah.
I think it's a real reminder that, uh, I'm sorry, buddy.
There's a good example right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's a child right here who's a little upset with me.
Can you just walk in a frame and show him how you're crossing your arms at me?
There he goes.
Yeah.
All right. Now, out you go. I got to do this.
I'm sorry. I thought you were with your friends.
He's like, what friends, Dad?
It's, you know what? It turns out when you're a dad, you know when your summer is? The winter.
Me and Andy talk often about how I would show up on Mondays as the first person in our group with kids.
And I'd be like, ooh, just so ready to rock because it's so easy to go to work on a Monday compared to taking care of kids over a weekend.
And he'd be so tired and like, what are you doing? We're back at work.
And I'd be like, this is the best part of the day.
Yeah.
I had no idea.
Yeah.
I didn't know.
You realize, like, the thing that you want from the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe is just the door, that the wardrobe has a door.
You're happy to sit in the closet.
When I go to my office, I'm always like, ah, hello door.
Hi.
Hello, sweet friends.
Yes, yes.
And it's respected.
It's a respected door.
No one here.
No one here treats it like a saloon door
that you can just push open.
Guns blazing.
A respected door.
Oh, my God.
It's a respected door.
Sorry, can I just unload on you real quick, Andy?
Everybody's really happy to hear,
but I do feel like a lot of the comments
were about your absence.
I just want to get it out of the way.
Gotcha.
And I mean that in any way you want to take it.
Andy, you mean that.
Sorry, you recorded those voice notes on a good mic?
You sounded really good on both, like, audio quality-wise.
My brother was an iPhone of...
Voice Note app.
Wow.
Yeah.
I was surprised
you had gotten out
a good mic to do them,
but whatever you were doing,
it was working for you.
Thank you, my friend.
See, but this can be
positive feedback too.
And remember,
that's before I get dumped on.
If you,
if you want to see
Andy get unloaded on in person,
just tell him you've watched Digman.
On the show.
Somebody wrote in Andy's job interview,
if Pod co-host was a real job.
So, to recap,
you hate our industry.
The one-hour work week is going to be a problem.
You do show up, you'll complain about how much you hate the job, and you planned on spending most of the workday playing games on your phone.
Yeah, very apt.
The only thing I would take issue with that is the one-hour work week.
Yeah.
Because I'm available.
Right.
Like, honestly, like 30 to 40 hours a week that others aren't.
The Venn diagram of the 40 hours a week, we're all free.
It's crazy how little overlanders.
It's very difficult to parse.
I think people have gotten that picture by now.
Somebody, in fact, wrote in this comment that made me laugh.
This is definitely one of my top five podcasts about scheduling.
Fair hit.
I didn't ask for this.
Somebody piggybacked on a comment.
I always enjoy when two members of Quaid Army work in concert with each other.
The first comment was,
Andy not showing up for the podcast for the second week.
Really pisses me off so much.
I'm about to take my phone and,
throw it on the ground. And then the next person wrote in all caps, if I wanted a podcast
without Andy on it, I'd listen to any other podcast. Very in character. Very in character.
So some people maybe think that you, Andy, are the best character on the pod. I don't know. I think,
you know, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Sure. Yeah, that's true. That's a very, very smart move.
People have conflict, you know, spicy. They do. Well, yeah, for the real housewives, you're like an essential
part. If this was a real housewife situation, you needed Andy. I'm the victim. You are the
victim. You're the perpetrator who thinks you're the victim. Hey, real quick, Andy, how would you say
the word B-U-O-Y? I'm sorry? B-U-O-Y, floating in the water. How do you say it?
Bowie. Yeah, so England, Australia, they call it a boy, which seems crazy to me, right?
But then a bunch of people, when we were saying that sounds crazy,
you're like, well, how would you say buoyant or buoyancy?
Oh, that's true.
Yeah.
Buiancy.
And I will say, I've always, you've always said, Andy, buoyancy.
Buoyancy.
Buoyant.
Yeah.
But you do say boile-lebees for fish stew.
I say bo-a-le-a-eis.
But then the question I have for them, I'm going to turn it around.
Like, if your spirit is buoyed, does that mean in England?
You're like, is your spirit buoyed?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, you know.
I don't know, man.
I mean, good arguments on both sides.
So let us know.
Clap us and the Tadus.
Clapus and the tapas.
And the tapas.
To all our quumpets out there.
Yeah.
Oh, we mentioned Reese Thomas, as to know a short film director.
Reese Thomas, who then, with Alex Boono, directed documentary now,
these very accomplished directors, done a ton of stuff.
People were complaining that they could not Google him.
And I think that's because a lot of people don't know that when you're Welsh and your name is Reese, it's R-H-Y-S.
There's quite a few of them.
But is the Reese of Widows Bay that we were talking about?
It's also that.
Oh, he is.
Okay.
Yeah, he's R-H-Y-S.
So I heard you guys talking about Widows Bay.
I'm three-in, and I've texted you guys about this, but it's entirely too spooky.
It's too scary for you.
Yeah, you guys were being like, it's not that scary.
And I'm like, yeah, but also you don't like Lord of the Rings.
You're an idiot.
Right, right.
But Lord of the Rings for me is not even close to scary enough.
No, I'm not saying it's scary.
I'm saying it's good.
Like, you have wrong opinions is what I'm saying.
It's confrontational again, is what I'm doing.
I like a good jump scare, and the best Lord of the Rings has is a sit scare.
But I like Lord of the Rings specifically because it's not scary.
It's just good.
It's just a nice long walk.
Yeah.
I mean, when you think about it, the Odyssey is basically just Lord of the Rings on boats.
Oh, well, spoilers.
Jonathan Rees Davies?
Jonathan Rees Davies.
Do you know what iconic movie has been in a ton?
Jonathan Rees Davies?
Yeah.
From Paris with Love, right?
Isn't that Jonathan Rees-Meyers?
No, Jonathan Rees-Dazes.
He's Gimley.
Oh, is he Gimley?
He might be Gimley, yeah.
Yeah.
And he's Raiders the Lost Art.
He's bad dates.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I'm so bummed.
I'm so bummed.
I brought up somebody in Lord of the Rings.
Bad dates.
Because you know it's dope deep in your heart.
Yeah.
I'm okay.
So they're both Jonathan Rees's.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Reese Darby, Rees Darby from Flight of the Concordes.
Terrence Trent Darby.
Yes.
Wish me love a wishing well.
Doesn't involve the Reese.
Do your impression of Terrence Reese Darby.
You're Welsh.
Terrence Trent Darby, but you remember when you audition for us and Lowe and you did Terence Reese
Darby who was the Welsh.
Yeah, Wish Me Love a Wishing Welsh.
You're wishing on a wishing Welsh.
You're Wilching on a wish.
Oh, boy.
Reese Ifens.
I think is his name, right?
Notting Hill.
That's how you say it?
Not Ifon's.
I think you're right.
I got it wrong.
That guy's very funny.
He's very good.
He's very good.
Andy, did you get one of these fake IDs that Keeve and Yorne used to have, the North
Carolina fake IDs?
Never did.
I was always very envious and impressed.
Yeah.
They did a good job.
They described at length what it took to make him.
And someone said, it seems like the steps to make the North Carolina IDs.
is exactly how many steps Ray Harryhausen took to make Jason and the Argonauts.
Wow.
A joke about how hard clamation is.
A nice long leisurely walk, like Lord of the Rings.
Lord of the Rings.
I said it first.
You were going to say it, and I heard you start saying it, but then I said it instead.
And I would.
You jumped in.
You jumped in.
My height came up, Andy, and someone said,
they got your height wrong.
Somebody said, I always thought Seth was at least six.
I put Keeve at 510, Andy at 5'8, and Yorm at three snorks and a trench coat.
Appreciate it being a snork.
You know we're snork guys.
We talked about top villain by audio two.
Wait, people thought Keev was taller than me?
I know, I'm very surprised.
Well, we're about, so we're going to talk about the creep today.
Yeah.
Before we do and before we watch it,
is this the first time all three of you
were in a digital short together?
Like, not counting on a boat.
Orges in my pants, which Keeve was in a cameo.
But was this the first one we're all three doing boats?
But this is like all three of you, like,
You're like all the leads.
Yes, possibly.
I think it is, and it's pretty great.
I think that's right.
And it might also be the last.
Oh, no, I guess Jack Sparrow.
Jack Sparrow.
It's just those.
Yeah.
Pretty cool.
So check out the heights.
Check out the heights, everybody.
There's not a lot of time to see them all in a line.
And this really is.
I can't remember if I've ever talked about this height-wise, Seth.
I mean, just quick little divergence.
In the beginning of me being on the show, everyone thought I was tall,
because the first thing they all saw was Lazy Sunday
and I am taller than Parnell.
Right.
And then they would watch our stuff,
you know, the few people that watched Hot Rod
and they would see me next to Yorm and they'd be like,
this guy's a giant.
And so I would get the opposite thing where when I would meet people
a lot of the time, it was like Roadhouse,
they'd be like, I thought you'd be taller.
Right.
Because I'm 5'10.
Yeah.
Which is, I believe, exactly average.
That's right.
And I'm a half inch shorter than Andy.
Is that?
Yeah.
And they did nail three snarks in a trench coat, that is.
Oh, that's.
That's accurate.
That's to the centimeter.
Kiva's a half inch shorter than me, but a hundred times smarter.
So it's a good trade.
Hey, thanks.
I'm the real roadhouse situation, Andy, because of spending an entire career sitting.
For real.
Everybody's like, whoa!
They're like, they're like, whoa!
They think you're going to be bigger or smaller?
Smaller.
The thing I hear all the time is like, oh, you're so much taller than I thought.
But roadhouse is the opposite.
They're all like, I thought you'd be bigger.
Oh, right.
Yeah, you're a roadhouse.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know about the new roadhouse.
I haven't seen it, but the Swayze Roadhouse.
Yeah, I feel like they probably kept.
I hope they kept that.
Thought you'd be bigger.
Get that a lot.
In the new roadhouse, the catchphrase is, that's about right.
Every time they see Jake, they're like, that's what I picture.
Oh, yeah, like, good-looking, kind of jacked dude.
Kind of jacked, not giant.
He looks like he could kick some butt.
Not giant, not tiny.
Yeah.
Especially when you put him next to the guy from Broad City.
We talked about Top Billin by Audio 2.
Yeah.
Somebody said it's the featured sample in a ton of other songs.
The drum loop, for sure.
Sure. I want to say real love.
They said 50 cents, I get money.
I get money. Money I've got.
What's that line? I believe.
Kanye and Jay Z's Otis from Watch the Throne.
Yeah, classic.
Nobody Speak by DJ Shadow and Run the Jules.
Yes.
Only God can judge me by Tupac.
Two pack?
Yeah, from Tupacalypse now.
I love that. I love that two pack.
That's because of, I'm sorry, two Spock.
He's been globally famous for like 40 years.
Yeah, but that's the.
You can't take the New Hampshire out of the boy.
There's been a huge problem for me for a long time.
That's the most Aunt Linda shit you've ever pulled.
It really is.
And by the way, I've had this corrected the entirety of my life.
I can't get it right.
But is that a New England accent?
Is that what that is?
I don't know what it is.
Just how I see it and I can't get over it when I see it.
It's kind of Pittsburgh.
Because it's Pac Manning?
It's Chicago.
Two Pack.
It's Two Pack.
I miss him.
Is Yin's Two Pack's going to come over to the?
Yeah.
Two Pack.
Let me tell you something.
Yeah, well, boy, I'm all over the place.
The name of the video game was Karateka.
Is that what it called?
Karateka.
Karateka.
Karateka.
That's what.
We're talking about the Nintendo thing from last week.
But what game would be Karateka?
Nintendo Fun Hour.
By the way, I listened to a little bit of the pod.
Yorne was saying that I wasn't a part of it because I didn't like editing, which I took issue with.
No, you just weren't there.
I was out of town.
And I remember coming back and being like, this is so dope.
You guys.
Rock.
Yeah, you were very...
Super happy.
And you love editing.
I'm not doing a bit here.
You have an incredible amount of respect for it.
Also, without touching the computer, you're one of the better editors I know.
You just are not...
Maybe that's what Yor meant is like...
What happened, Seth, is this.
I went to film school.
I edited all my own stuff.
I'm not as tech savvy, like, on the ones and twos as Keeve or Yorm.
They're both really, really good at it.
Like, obviously, at a professional level.
And so when I started, we all started working together.
I was like, well, shit, I'm not...
not going to do it. Like, you guys are better at it, but then we would all just do it together.
Right. Yes. Like, I remember coming in and often finding you at two, three in the morning with
these dudes looking at an edit. Every time. No, this guy gave editing notes that were to the frame on
every episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine that Dan Gore counted on and told me himself a couple months ago.
That's nice. That was a key part of the process. I love editing and I think Yorm just meant I wasn't
putting my fingers on the keyboard. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt since he's not in. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, you're technically, per the editing guild, you're not an editor if you're not touching the keyboard.
A lot of directors sit there and tell the editor exactly what to do.
That's right.
The editor is still editing, even though the directors sit there.
I love the process.
Making every choice.
And you know what I also loved was Nintendo Fun Hour?
It was great.
Nintendo Fun Hour and the heist and just two guys are the three things that these guys did without me, where I came back and was like, fuck.
These are so good.
I love you guys.
There's a real early, genuine Keev and Yoram vibe where you see a direct line from those early seeds to what they grew into.
All class, all craft.
All combined 10 and a half feet.
Thank you.
I still in my mind often will hear, you are the superior dancer.
Wait, now, Seth, you for a second, though, were saying karate cut.
I still don't understand what that was.
That's the name of the game on Nintendo that people think Yorm's dude was from.
No, that was Kung Fu.
Kung Fu.
Okay.
Are you sure it's not like a whole genre of making things out of video games?
Oh, because it was a movie as well.
That was a movie.
Because that's a thing too.
I mean, the classic Nintendo game is called Kung Fu Master, I guess.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm looking at this.
But no, it didn't have the word master on it.
No, it's just Kung Fu.
I don't know why they said.
I don't know why I said this.
Look, sometimes I just read their stuff.
Oh, wait.
No, maybe it is Kung Fu Master.
No, but then that's the cover, and it just says Kung Fu on it.
I don't know where they get the word master.
Yeah, different territories might have had a master on there.
The game we couldn't remember the name of that we were debating was Rad Racer,
which is the one that looks like Outrun, Sega Outrun, where you're behind the car.
Oh, I loved Rad Racer.
Yes, and that was Rad Racer.
That's the only game we didn't remember the name of, really, while we were talking about it.
I just put in the chat, someone made this because we were talking about the Shining,
and Yoram referred to Shelly Deval as Shelly Long.
And if you look in the chat,
there's a really nice piece of graphic from Quaid.
Oh, is it going to be Shelly Long on The Shining?
Yeah.
It's pretty good, though.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
It's really good.
I would like to see that.
I'd like to see that.
Whoever did that, I like what you did.
Yeah.
Let's see what else we have to talk about.
Oh, you know, sometimes somebody writes something in and it's like,
I don't know, you feel like it's like too true.
in a lie situation, because I believe part of it, and then I'm like, hold up here.
We're all ears.
In a recent New York Times games ad on the Ezra Klein podcast, Sam Azursky talks about having
grapheme color synesthesia, where letters and words evoke specific colors.
Believe it.
He also says he's finished the mini in four seconds.
I believe it.
I believe Sam would say that.
He must be doing it on a computer for a stuff.
You said you believe he would say that.
I believe he would say that.
Do you believe that he did it?
You do.
Four seconds is insane, but there's no, I would argue there's no way to do it on iPhone.
No, he's got to be on the buttons are just too clumsy.
Or is he on like, you know what?
I think he did it on like a minority report thing where he was like,
oh yeah, like he got one of those giant Microsoft tablet tables.
Four seconds, Seth.
Even if I knew the answers before I opened it, I couldn't do it in four seconds.
Maybe it's a lie.
So maybe it's two lies and a truth because the last thing was, and then he continues,
and I quote, fuck you, Andy.
Oh my God.
I don't think that was in the ad.
Sam?
Somebody can find us the clip.
Kevin, will you see if you find us the clip before?
But it's an ad.
That's the problem.
Oh.
I don't know if they have the ad in the transcript.
It was a New York Times game ad.
An ad isn't going to have the F word in it.
To quote Shelley Long in The Shining.
Yeah.
Sam?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
All work and no play.
Make Sam a dull boy.
Woody.
All right.
We're talking about the creep, you guys.
I turn it over to you.
Chops is on the track
Chops on the track
He's the maker of the beat
This was definitely one where
We liked the beat and had flagged it
And we were like, we like this kind of spooky kooky vibe
Right Keith?
Your words?
Yeah, I always call things spooky and kooky.
It is a spooky kooky vibe.
It's not a terrible way to describe that.
Yeah.
But still got a little bit of thumper in it
And I don't remember how it started.
Was it we were like we want to do a dance song
Like where we have an original dance?
I'm sure we, that always is kind of circling us at some point during every recording.
It's always kind of circling the drain with us.
Yeah, it's always just kind of right next to the trash can.
I do feel like we talked about it a lot of times in various things.
We're like, yeah, we should have a dance.
I mean, we do it in Pop Star with the donkey roll.
Exactly.
It was the double downed.
But yeah, I mean, I'm guessing Akiva made up the dance.
He's really good at that.
It always just sort of flows through him.
Oh, that's interesting.
That's probably true.
Yeah.
So Keev is the choreography.
of the tree.
I feel like you came up with the creep
and with the docket roll.
Am I wrong?
Yeah.
Yeah,
I feel like I stand up
and just make the most
awkward moves on purpose
and go,
it's something like this.
It is an interesting thing though, Seth,
because Yorm and I are more
into like physical,
like,
kind of performance.
Yeah,
but I like acting awkward.
That's what all of Justy Guys is.
And Virginia Horstens.
Those are all my moves.
I choreographed Virginia Horsons.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
You worked with Horson?
Yeah.
I wish we had more crystal clear
memory of how it started, but I think it was basically exactly what you would think. It's tough. It's
tough when we don't have the memory trap, Yorm. Yeah, Yorm's going to have a Yormthorn and I'm going to
set him up for it now, which is, me and you, Andy, must have done a lot of it without Yorm. And then
we're like, no, but you can get on it, like get on the chorus. Right. And he did get on the chorus. So
it feels, Seth, to your point, like it's all three of us. But if you actually pay attention,
Yorm doesn't have a verse. So you think it is. But I think me and
he had kind of made the whole song.
And then we were like,
Yom, do the chorus with us,
and it'll feel like it's all of us in the video.
And then at one point, he was like,
well, let me just try to do a verse, and he added it,
but the truth is, like we always talk about,
our song should be like two and a half minutes at most.
And so it just kept making the song too long,
and then, again, he'll Yormthorn us.
He was annoyed that we kind of deleted it.
We were like, nah, it didn't make it better.
It's 2.30 in the morning when I'm recording my responses
to this episode.
You guys are misremembering.
I was in the room for the entirety of the creep
and was, I think, on the ones and twos, as Andy so eloquently put it.
Ones and twos is a reference to turntables, guys, for those of you who don't know.
Techniques, 1,200s.
So I was in the room for all of it.
We were sort of working on it together.
And, yeah, I had a verse about being under bleachers.
or something like that.
I was like at a high school football game or something like that.
And also, I made the song weirder because I don't know whose verse was first or whatever,
maybe it was Andy's or whatever, but I was encouraging us to go weirder with the way we were talking.
And so that was my big contribution was that McEva's in particular got way weirder of like the way he was kind of freaking it.
And yeah, and then we all sort of collectively decided that it was too long.
I agree with that.
I mean, it was all good on that one.
I'm on a boat I'm still angry about.
But the creep I was like, yeah, no, it's too long.
Yes, and it was a totally good verse, is my recollection.
It was just about tonnage of the premise, which is already a little soft.
Yeah, and we were never that hot on the song.
There were a few things that happened.
We liked it enough.
We were like, yeah, this is fun.
One thing that happened, this is jumping farther ahead,
is when it got mixed, we realized that, like,
the simplicity of the chops beat,
like, this is a compliment, not backhanded,
that it was leaving enough room for, like, the base
to hit actually really hard.
Yeah.
And usually we are attracted to very complicated,
dense beats that are really dynamic on their own
before there's a voice.
But if you listen to a lot of modern...
Backpack rap.
Yeah, if you listen to a lot of modern rap,
like Drake's specific...
is really minimalist in his beats,
and it allows his voice to really take up
a lot of the speaker, a lot of the frequency.
Travis.
Yes, a lot of modern hip-hop.
A lot of trap is like that.
Which of course stands for trapezoid.
Keep going, keep going.
Yeah, a lot of trapezoids are like that.
This was more rectangular.
Anyways, so this was a little something
that we weren't as hot on,
and then once it all got mixed,
we were like, oh, I actually like this more
than I thought I did,
because it does, as Andy said in his words,
thump in the trunk.
Like a gorilla trying to get up
out the trunk. E4D.
Yeah. Yeah.
Basically.
paraphrasing, but yeah.
And then Nikki Minaj is the other huge thing.
Yeah, that was the other element.
She had done the verse on the Kanye song Monster.
And this is before both of them became monsters in real life,
which was interesting.
Akiva, you can't say that.
I think you can.
At this point, I think it's...
This isn't a toe-on-the-line situation.
No, these are...
are so far gone. It's fucking nuts.
So let's just get that out there.
I personally am going to stand on the
sidelines on this one. Okay.
Well, that's interesting.
Do you think in the end the song was a curse,
Keeve, that everybody who did the guess verse?
Didn't realize that they were big.
Who else is on Monster?
Jay Z. Rick Ross.
Jay Z. And he's doing great.
Jay Z's doing great.
Rick Ross is on Monster, too.
I haven't heard Monster in a decade.
It's, by the way, top to bottom.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
It's an all-timer.
Yeah.
And we're big on the, we separate the art
art from the artist on this pod.
That's a huge thing for us.
Remember the moment,
that moment was all about like,
whoa, Nikki Minaj just stole it,
and she's on this track with these huge...
Yeah, and she's basically an unknown
to the real world, and then,
so it's only people really paying attention
who are like, it's a bridesmaids,
Melissa McCarthy moment for Nikki Minaj,
where she's coming onto a thing
with superstars of the genre
and being the thing that just pops right out of it,
but is not a household name by any stretch.
So my point is, it was not
that hard for us to get her on the song.
Right.
Because the opportunities hadn't started rolling in.
Do you think Kanye, when the verses came in?
I mean, by the way, I'm sure much has been written and said about this was like, oh,
no, she, we got to put her last.
Unclear.
But it was definitely, this is very, very, like, common knowledge.
Like, oh, Nikki Minaj popped off on Monster and stole the song.
Yeah.
I think that's true.
But for instance, I remember when we got back to SNL in September, this is how fast she
blew up.
We told people we have a song with Nikki Minaj and got Blanche.
stairs from anybody in the cast or writer that we brought it up to. Not a single person
knew who she was in the beginning of this year. And then by January, she was a big enough deal
to be the musical guest. That's how quick it went from zero to 100. Oh, so is that why this is the
week you did the song? Because you shot her for the video. Correct. But we did the song in the summer.
I didn't realize she had already been on the track. Yeah. When we reached out, it was awesome because we were
like, we know she's amazing.
It would have been much harder to get her later.
Of course.
That this was like there wasn't that much incoming business,
especially from big things like SNL,
which always helped grease the tracks for us.
I want to say one more thing about Monster,
which is it's still like genuinely, it's a great verse.
It's so funny to me that Jay-Z's verse starts Sasquatch,
Godzilla, King Kong, Loch Ness.
It's so funny.
I'll never go against Hove,
but it's, you know, the beginning of that verse,
I wouldn't put in my top five.
Jay Z versus. Let's just say it. It's so funny. He's on theme, though. He didn't just go do some random stuff.
It's so funny. I love it so much. It's like someone. It was having fun with it, Seth. It's so much fun. It was like there. Get off his bag. He was having fun with it. It's like they were like trying to guess monsters on like $10,000 pyramid. It's so fun. I love it. I have no shade for it. It's, it made it smile every time I hear it. It sounded like a pretty well-constructed burn.
Well, Adam, but that's all. Look, I'm gonna, I would have gone family feud. Family feud. Family feud better.
He's a guy at the end.
They have one left, and that's what he's yelling from the end.
It's a family.
Should I add Jay Farrow do that?
It's a family yelling out the final category for scary money.
Okay, one at a time.
Andy, we wrote the verse, and you did a temp.
Yeah, for Nikki's part.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And we weren't sure because she is a real rapper who writes her own stuff,
how she would feel about getting it.
But she was also ready to be a pop star and liked it and was like, no, this is good, and just did it.
And I also remember, Keeve, you experimented it.
you always do, to try and do the, like, chopped up thing in vocals that was really hot at the moment.
The, like, br-br-and-she was one of the main people doing it.
Exactly.
And so we were like, oh, let's put it into her style and do a bunch of Nicki Minaj-style editing audio flourishes.
And you pulled it off famously, my brother.
Hey, thank you.
Yeah.
Once we had her on and it was mixed, then we were like, oh, shit, now we better really believe in this one.
But it was one of the few ones that, because she was the musical guest, we used S&L
money to do a more expensive video.
And because it had to be that week.
I also remember this.
This is one of my memories from being on set with her,
is that, because it was such a nice compliment.
She was so new in it that she only had one or two music videos,
and they were bad.
And she knew it.
It wasn't on set, Keeves, when she was recording her part at Downtown Records.
And we showed her some of ours.
And she was like, why your videos look better than mine?
Oh, it was there?
I wasn't her looking at the monitor
when we were shooting?
No, no, it was looking at a laptop
of us showing her one of our other videos.
I don't remember which one it was.
Okay, in my memory,
I've moved it to us
looking at the monitors on set.
I want to say we were showing her
one of our big ones,
just in our minds being like,
let's put her at ease so she knows we're legit.
Right, probably showed her I'm on a boat
or whatever or just in my pants, yes.
But she did say exactly that to her management.
Yeah.
He's like, why is they, they're joking
and their video looks better than mine.
And I like,
Because we spent all your money on Bud lights.
He said specifically that wasn't a real thing, Seth.
But, yeah, I remember being so flattered by that,
but also respecting her because we had watched her videos,
and be like, oof, her videos are bad, look bad.
I didn't remember her.
No, but they were just the very first little.
I mean, she went on to make the highest levels.
Starships.
Yeah.
But like Anaconda is an amazing looking thing.
How come?
Why do you think that?
Not the butts.
I don't even look at the butts.
I'm just looking at lighting.
Me too.
Like, are there butts in this?
What great lighting?
Yeah.
So wait, you think the lighting is great, but you don't even notice what's being lit.
That's right.
Well, there's other things in the frame, Seth.
You pig.
Yeah, sorry.
Yeah, okay.
Sorry.
I'm a pig.
I apologize.
Anyway, I'm going to sit this one out.
I mean, whatever they want to do, that's their opinion.
Just because, and before we talk about it, did you see T.
T. Payne's tweet, because I'm going to put it in the chat.
No, which one?
This one, the one you put in the chat.
Yeah.
Oh, I see.
I see. It's a mild spoiler.
I don't think so.
So now I know that Anne Hathaway plays a character who's worried about where her husband is.
Yeah, she's like, where's my husband?
And then Odysseus is us going, I'm on a boat. I'm on a boat.
It's pretty good.
It's real good.
And then T. Payne wrote Poseidon, look at me.
I like it a lot.
Should we do a rewatch of the old creep?
Oh, yeah, sure. I thought you'd never ask.
All right, Seth, how many views do you think ours has?
Hmm.
The creep.
17 mil.
On our post?
With Nikki Minaj.
Oh, gotcha.
I'm going to let you take that again.
I'm going to add times 10, 170 million.
120.
Well, now we're humiliated.
Yeah, that worked horribly in both directions.
Why'd you go so hard, Keith?
Okay, but now let's...
Oh, I mean, right out of the gate, we can't forget that we got John Waters to be in the video.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that's going to come up right away.
Yeah.
Okay, well, let's get there.
Should we, I mean, I don't think this thing has really hard laughs in it.
That's part of why we were a little unsure about it.
But should we do the one with SNL laughs, guys, or this one?
Let's do with.
Yeah, with.
All right, here we go.
Hi, I'm John Wards, and this is the creep.
So how did we get that?
Because that was a video ad, right?
We didn't have that before it, right?
Correct.
Sorry, not AD, ADD.
It was an idea that we had...
We were talking about how our looks in the video
were so overtly John Waters inspired
that we were like, it'd be great to get his blessing, basically.
Because we're huge fans, obviously.
You didn't think to get them
until you were shooting the videos
and the looks were so John Waters-y?
Kind of. We hadn't really thought about the video
as much when we were recording.
The album was still not coming out until May,
and so there was a lot of loose ends on the album still.
You know, though, that's absolutely untrue.
We did think about the look a lot because it's all in the lyrics.
Yeah, but we just hadn't reached out in any way to anybody, really.
Yeah, we didn't know we'd be shooting it yet.
We didn't, at the time of writing it know that Nikki would get on it.
As you know, Seth, S&L guests are often very last minute announced.
So we only realized Nicky Minaj was even coming a few weeks before, and we're like, oh, shit, Nicky Minaj is coming.
I also want to mention that my first daughter is three weeks old, and I had no intention of coming into the show.
That's right.
Then all of a sudden it was like, the guys were like, oh, my God, Nicky Minaj is going to be on.
And I was already a dad.
We have to do it.
And we were like, it has to happen.
And I was like, oh, my God, Liz, this has to happen.
So we, like, hired a night nurse for the first time because I was like, you need help.
And I'm going to be gone for four days this week.
And it's going to be crazy.
And I remember feeling crazy because I was like all of a sudden, that work all night with a newborn at home.
And your night nurse had a crazy rider, right?
Yes, she needed a lot of weird stuff.
Hers was all, like, weird, like, sex stuff, like, like, dildos and things.
Yeah, it's really weird.
Doesn't put a lot of confidence in it.
But anyway.
It might have been more of a Gregory Isaac's night nurse.
Am I right, Andy?
She was the only one that could quench dishear-turst.
Terst.
Yeah, no one else can quench dishear-Turst.
He was in San Francisco, I believe.
We reached out just through S&L Talent Department, I assume, just complete blind ask.
I don't know if we sent a crew or if he had some local people.
could use. Somebody went to his apartment or house. They set up a green screen, got a close-up,
and he just said the line for us, and then they just sent us the clip, and we just had a little
green screen to him and put him into this TV, and we were overjoyed. It's great. Seeing him
makes you so happy. I'm trying to find the email correspondence with him. That's why I'm sort of
looking down. It makes you so happy to see him, and it also, like, kind of just positions the whole
video, because this is a weird video about kind of pervy guys, creeps, and that's kind of his
world.
Yeah, but also like
benevolent creeps.
Yes.
Hopefully not actually
crossing any lines.
Yeah.
Hi, I'm John Wars
and this is the creep.
Vagely, which southern
rapper do you think
you're kind of
evoking?
We don't do impressions,
but we pretend to kind of
be there.
I mean, there's,
what do you think?
There's so many.
I don't know.
But it feels specific to me
not as specific as T.I. in sex.
It's maybe a little more,
oh, fuck, I'm going to get it wrong and be embarrassed.
But leave in Tupac, right?
Yeah, you got to keep Tupac.
Your cred in that department is fun.
Yeah.
I mean, even if I pronounce everybody, right,
I'm such a distance forth.
I just feel like lean into it.
Now, I want to say before we even hear me,
that I cringe at mine a little
because I was trying to do an impression of somebody specific,
And it might have been Lil Wayne on a very specific song,
but no one can sound anything like Lil Wayne.
And we always kind of have like different cadences and flows in our head
that are kind of vaguely an amalgam of things.
And we know none of us can actually do an impression.
So it always just becomes us.
But I'm doing like a weirdo because I was like,
oh, I'll do a creepy voice.
And I kind of hear it and I think it sounds just kind of lame.
Well, I like it.
Well, you might not.
January 13th, 2011.
John Waters.
Great.
He likes the song and is interested.
So when did this air?
Oh, so we did ask ahead of time.
Yeah.
This is airing January 29th.
Yeah.
So we got ahead of it a little bit, knowing he was coming.
And it was saying he's in San Francisco and could figure out a way to put himself on tape.
That's awesome.
But we started knowing this was on the horizon.
Yes.
And then I have an email with his whole schedule explaining why he couldn't be in New York.
So scheduling has been a big part of your life even before the pod.
What kind of stuff did he have?
Tell me about his schedule.
He was in SF till Sunday, then Baltimore from the 24th to the day.
the 26, books solidly each day. Tampa, January 27th and the 28th. Then he's back in Baltimore,
jury duty, etc. Yeah. Damn. He's in New York, February 3rd through 8th. He keeps it very real.
Yes, bro. Okay, my memory of tracking down John Waters is that we had to actually do this outside of
SNL. And I think that we did it through a crew from Caviar. Caviar is a company that
represents me for commercial directing.
And this small little splinter crew was in San Francisco,
and then they went over to where he was,
like at his hotel room and shot this for us.
But I believe we had costumes and makeup go over there as well.
So it was, you know, it was a real deal crew.
But I don't think this is through us now.
There's really no shame in giving away a famous person's schedule from 15 years ago.
but then the jury duty thing
like what if there's a guy
who's like on death row right now
who's like I got screwed
and now he's like hold up
he's listening to this pod
he's like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
it was Waters
and then we sent him a bottle of wine
or he sent us one
I'm sure we sent him one
anyway I imagine John Waters
is just lapping up jury duty
yeah oh my God
oh this is the worst
I love it
would respond to
jury duty the way
haters
Keith Morrison would.
Like, oh.
Ooh.
Oh.
All right, let's see you guys
keep creeping.
This one's fine.
That verse was fine.
That was fine.
That was not the one I'm talking about.
It's the later one where I change
into like a different character.
One technical thing of note,
I believe some of these shots,
are anamorphic?
Yeah, that's why the aspect ratio actually changes,
see how it goes more widescreen here, Seth.
Yep.
So we used anamorphic lenses because we wanted to get those lens flares
like Hype Williams would do on his videos, or basically because...
You can say JJ.
You can say JJ.
Well, isn't that timing, right?
Star Trek had already come out, right?
I like, by the way, just for what I'm sure will be a Yorm Thorn,
is you guys were like, he had a verse, but it was great, we couldn't use it,
and meanwhile, Keeves like, my second verse, I don't
love.
Yeah, we could have
erased my second one.
You're like,
all these years later,
I hate my second verse.
Anyway, the problem
with Yorm was it made it
too long.
Listen, his might have sucked.
His might have been bad
and Andy was trying to be nice.
I don't know what I tell you.
I can't remember.
I got back to Yoram?
This is so funny
listening to this.
No, as we went,
it just felt like
it didn't need three people on it.
That's the reason.
So I don't think there is
a version that has,
I don't know if even
I did a full verse.
We started it and then we were like,
ah, it doesn't eat it.
So that's what happened.
And he was second verse is good.
I'd definitely encourage him to get weirder.
We don't mean.
Andy did for sure.
He's just a little scared guy.
He's scared of being the accomplished rapper that he is.
Rapper.
Seth, no.
You're going to get a little scared.
get to keep second verse and then we're all going to be like, actually, it's great. It's so fun. I love
his second verse. It's so fun. Okay. So we sent him a bottle of wine, Seth. Great. That does make
more sense. He wrote back, thank you for the lovely, very good, totally unnecessary bottle of
wine. I look forward to seeing it. Anyway, for a sneak, I guess I'd rather look like a purve than an
asshole. I'm sure that was in response to something I had written. I'm sure it will be hysterical,
and I love the song, John Waters, and we all like started crying. So sweet. The best.
Hold on one second.
I found a creep with Andy, not Nicky.
Oh, well, let's listen and then we can decide.
Should we finish the song first?
Yeah, let's finish the song.
That's a really good idea, Seth.
You're such a good, you really keep a nice baseline.
I can hate myself so much.
This is one of the first videos we ever did where we had one big warehouse in Brooklyn.
Great freeze frame right here.
It's the only one at us to know where we did.
Top of freeze frame.
on this one, Kev, so everybody can see where Kiva...
Our faces in the video are making good, bad faces.
And I think this is where I want to say,
I feel as though my memory was that Yorm had an equal amount
in this song because the...
Yeah.
...is such a Yorm.
Yes.
And also he's doing the most with this, too.
And you really aren't paying attention to who's doing what.
We're all just together.
You're all just a bunch of creeps.
It's a, yeah, you're a Tria.
We're a creep cluster.
I was going to say this is one of the only videos we did
where it was all in one warehouse.
Like, you can see these are...
like a backdrop of the beach where they pour some sand on the ground and then that little gold
background with the anamorphic lens and blah, blah, blah.
So are the characters in the song The Creep sex pest, hit us and the Titus.
And is that funny?
Hit us in the Titus.
I'd say they are.
Yeah, of course they are.
That's my personal opinion.
See, now you're a different guy.
I like how quickly you were like, are we sex pests?
and the next shot was just a real.
Are we seeing, what's behind your back, Pee?
Is it like a...
I think it's just a backdrop of blue just to...
It's not what we're standing on.
Or maybe it's a piece of the tree.
Yeah, and then the window frame,
I think the camera's not locked off.
It's like on the steady cam still,
so it's slightly moving to the left or something.
Yeah.
So you feel the frame moving,
the window frame moving while the tree is bouncing with us.
Now, you're doing someone else here.
I mean, it's cute.
You know, you're almost doing Scarface.
Almost.
Yeah.
Kid us and the Titus.
Who am I doing?
Yeah, is he doing Scarface or what?
The thing is, we couldn't let Yorm do a second verse
because I had two voices.
That is right.
And this song was done.
By the way, that's that dance I'm doing,
whatever that is, this frame.
I'm going to go back a tune in more so you can see it.
This is a quintessential what we're talking about,
just awkward, whatever that is.
Not that. That's it too, but this.
Yeah, great.
Yeah, we like that.
That guy's got some squirm in them.
I came out clean.
Yeah.
Which translates to wearing a full suit.
Yeah, he came out clean.
Not just with no fluids on me.
No.
It wasn't a Sergio.
It's great.
It's a great verse, Keev.
You're wrong.
I mean, I get it.
It's fine.
I get why you, but it's great.
It's just a choice.
You're having fun with it.
You having fun with it.
All that matters is that Yorm didn't get a verse.
You know what I mean?
His was like,
Hey, I'm also a creep.
And we're like, that doesn't really fit.
I'm also a creep.
Who are you even doing?
Are you doing trying to do Sinatra?
That's not really the genre.
Yormthorn us up, bud.
Hit us with them thorns, buddy.
Okay, another Yormthorn.
No.
When I was doing my verse, I was getting weirder.
And again, encouraged you guys to be weirder and inspired or re-record.
So this is why Kiva's in particular got way weirder.
So I take full credit.
And again, I wasn't upset about getting cut out of this one.
I also love for you guys to remember that you,
Akiva keeps saying that I wasn't there because I full on was for all of this.
Usually in any song that you hear, though, that is two guys and then third guys missing.
Yes, that has been sort of like recorded without the thing.
guy in the room usually.
But that is not the case
for this one.
All right, let's see Nicky here.
Is that scream?
I don't remember being in the song.
Is that an audience member?
The studio audience was fucking amped.
Listen to this screen.
It sounds like a canned sound effects scream.
It's perfect.
Sounds like the Sondheim scream.
Willem.
Wilhelm?
The Sondheim.
Sonheim, the Stephen Sonheim scream.
It's the one he famously did at the premiere of Into the Woods.
What is it?
The Wilhelm Scream?
Bernardette Peters was fabulous, and he couldn't believe it.
And he screamed and went down in history.
It's the Wilhelm Scream.
Yeah, there you.
Scream.
Helm.
I believe the Wilhelm scream is in naked gun for the heads.
Where?
Where?
When Danny Houston is flying through the air when he flies off the motorcycle and he's about to land in the fountain at the ending.
and you hear the scream and it is that scream.
Spoiler.
Another interesting scream is the film scream.
And scream, two, three, four, five, six, and seven.
And obviously the painting, the scream, Seth's favorite painting.
Yeah.
Munch.
He's always just like, that painting gets me.
Yeah.
Like, if you wanted to sum up me, Seth Myers, the scream.
Remember how I always say, like, oh, my God, I wish it was food because I would have munch for lunge.
You always say that.
He keeps reposting on his Instagram, the scream, and then it just says, parenting.
And it's like me
He doesn't get the likes
He thinks oh the algorithm didn't get it this time
I must have done the wrong time of day
Because it never gets
He puts up the screen and says
TFW you're trying to schedule
DeCast
Yeah
I've actually reached out to social media
Just at large about the algorithm
And how I feel like it's overlooking that
Something must have got messed up
Because this deserves way more
Hey guys
Could you take a look at this
Could I get some human eyeballs on this
And just what's going on over there
With the Algo?
Do you guys know TFW is that feeling when?
Okay, whatever.
I'll just write it out next time.
All right.
Well, here's the scream.
But the song is creepy.
We could have had a scream here.
It adds energy.
It's good, is my point.
Yeah, it's Halloween.
We should have added this exact scream into the actual song that wasn't out yet.
That lady's scream two more times.
It was very exciting that you got T-Rex arms in there, Andy.
T-Rexon.
Arms T-Rexon.
Yeah, T-Rexon.
And again, a lot of our characters get arrested by the end of the video.
Yeah.
Which I think is your way of saying, we know they're not heroes.
They're anti-heroes, if anything.
They're anti-heroes.
And they've received their comeuppance.
Yeah, they're going to jail.
Yeah, they're going to jail.
You don't have to worry about it.
They're going to jail.
Hittus in the Tittus.
They go into jail?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, they were already in court in orange murder suits.
You know what I mean?
Hit us in the tits. Do you think the charges stick?
Are they still in jail?
2011. Are they still in jail? Are they out now?
They're out. They're out now.
But here's my question. Did they go back in?
One of their dads donated a sizable to a certain PAC political action committee, just like mine.
And they were released.
Andy just got up like there was a bee winning his shirt.
It felt like some kind of bug. I'll tell you that.
He's up in Bug Country right now. I don't want to blow up his spot, but he's up in Bug Country.
Yeah, he was in Bug Country.
Country living is the best.
It's very fun, and it does feel like the three of you, and I like it.
I like that about it.
So we are unable to find Yorm's Lost Verse.
Let's listen to this, and then we can decide if it was worth it.
Hold on.
Maybe he has it.
Oh, yeah, he probably plays it for all his friends.
This is the way it was supposed to be.
Can you believe those guys?
And I wasn't doing Sinatra, by the way.
Jimmy Buffett.
Hey, this is Andy's demo.
So this is what Nikki Minaj would have heard when we gave it to her.
And do the creep.
Who?
And do the creep.
When I was a girl, I'd creep in the boys' locker room.
Hide deep inside it was my little creep stalker room.
As they disroved, I was oogling and ogling.
Little did they know that for me they were modeling.
And I would laugh.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
And they would dance.
La la la la la la la la la.
So pop pop your pepas and tweak out your sneakers.
Don't sleep.
Come on, get you creep on with me.
There you go.
It was very good.
You're doing kind of a spooky Vincent Pricey kind of a guy.
Yeah, I mean, no shade, Bill Hader.
That is really rich, Andy.
Thank you so much.
Because did you know that Bill famously did Vincent Price on the show.
I knew someone did, and I couldn't remember who.
Yes, yes.
It was Bill.
It was Bill.
Oh, Mary Lane.
Hello.
Oh, I did it before he showed up.
People forget we did that sketch before Bill got hired.
Hello.
Happy Halloween, everybody.
And now, Keeve do yours?
I told you before, Lolita, no worries.
Nope, that's the wrong one.
Oh, dang.
I know.
I was kidding.
That was James Mason.
It was just a joke.
It was a joke.
Hello.
Yeah.
All right.
Halloroon, right?
I'm just going to go.
I'm going to go.
I've got the treatment here in my email.
Say words from it.
Let's see.
Download, download.
Look, hit us with some creep cues.
Yorm will be hopefully back next time and can get involved more.
Yeah.
We can talk more about creep.
Yeah, of course.
It's an interesting one in that we always were like, it's fun.
And then if you look at the numbers, it really did quite well.
And that was a nice surprise for us.
Yeah, it's one of our bigger songs.
It's really beloved.
Yeah.
So, like, if it was your wedding song, hit us a.
a titus.
So we wrote
Nightclub,
Simple Shot of
Girls Dancing,
our three creeps
creep in.
That was the
beginning there.
So our nightclub
ended up just being
a black backdrop
where we put smoke
and lights.
Yes.
ATM, a girl
takes out money.
Our three creeps
creep in.
So true.
That happened.
That's so true.
Andy, verse one,
a TV dance party
sold train
slash American bandstand
slash the grind.
Remember them TV
The Grind?
Do I?
Andy describes
the creep to people.
What do we want it to look like?
70s, 80s, 90s?
That's a question on there.
Cutaways, knees popping up and down,
chickening your neck.
A red curtain set up.
Andy is a Marionette puppet
with strings from his limbs, like in sync.
We got that.
Akivaverse.
Akiva enters the set,
pulls his waistband up.
Cutaways, ankles expecting a flood.
Yeah, we got those shots.
Air covered in mud.
Pencil mustache being trimmed.
Peepers popping.
Oh, yeah.
This is a very clean treatment,
and we really did check each thing off.
Chorus 2, beach backdrop.
Girl laying on the beach.
Our three creeps,
creep in.
Yep.
She a country beach.
In a tree top, looking through bedroom window at girl.
Maybe a set, just a tree top and a window flat and a bedroom flat, question mark?
See, we're being efficient.
We believe you.
Now let's go through.
Is there anything we put on there that didn't end up exactly in the video in that?
On a momento checking.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
This is good stuff.
Don't you touch a frame of this.
Don't you touch a single frame of this?
Here's a note for the Nickyverse
we were like, we knew it'd be a tougher order.
We want some lockers she can attempt to get into,
even if she can't fit all the way, that's okay.
Then we'll build the inside of a locker, like a stylized version,
with some slats behind her and a towel, jersey, and helmet in it
for her to perform in.
So we were like, we understood it might be like,
we're not going to stuff her in a locker.
We need a fake locker that we create,
just to see her eyes peeping.
Yeah.
We really just did everything.
And then at the very bottom it says maybe one other performance set up,
and that's what became the gold with the animal.
And it's not that long of a treatment because it's surgical, is what I would say.
Speaking of presumed heights, Nikki was shorter than I was expecting.
Yeah.
Yeah, she's Lil.
She'll.
She'll like 5'2 or something.
That's what that movie Lil Nicky's about.
Oh.
That's like a biopic?
That's some artistic license, yeah, on the adaptation.
Yeah.
I'm going to give you one guess who's in Lil Nicky, and it has to do with this pod, this episode of this pod.
John Waters.
Jonathan B.
That's it.
Oh.
I said John.
Yeah, you got it too.
Does that kind of count?
Yeah, sure.
Cess, does it kind of count?
Yeah, as long as we can go back and re-record my two-pack.
No, that stays no matter what I die on that hill.
Just cut that in and then I think I did it a third time.
There's no way that's going.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Hey, Jack Black.
This is a rough one for you today.
I could probably tell by how excited he was that I bailed three short.
And Seth got it with hints but also list, maybe?
Yeah, I listed.
So I don't count.
I was actually, I meant to look to make sure that I kind of wanted to tell you what my list was.
What were your listers?
I'm going to hold on.
Give me one second.
I'll be there, I promise.
Hold on.
Talk, you guys, just talk about something else real quick.
How many words is it usually on average?
Today was 48 words.
Because I tried it the other day because I have the games.
I'm past the games paywall now.
So I was like, I'll give a spelling be a try.
I got 50 words and I was still just that solid.
And I was like, well, oh, yeah, that's a bad day.
Sometimes it's a lot.
That's a bad day.
Okay.
Those are days they shouldn't even do it be if that's the best I can do.
What were your list here's, my man?
All right, I'm going from the bottom up.
Papaloma.
Yep, that's one I didn't get.
Tail lamp.
Yep.
Lipoma.
Yeah, lipoma.
I got tailamp.
I didn't get mail lot.
Yeah, my yacht.
I was going to be maybe myot?
Maybe softels there.
Is it myot or mailot?
I don't know.
It spelled mail out, but you know, these words.
I'm going from the bottom up.
I did get to Tommy Tomatio, Tomtit, Impala on my own.
So that's something.
But yeah, at least four listers minimum.
Is it my lot?
It's a woman's one-piece swimsuit, so shockingly we didn't know it.
Because that's our favorite kind of swimsuit to look at.
Right.
Also, we've been getting updates, and I'll see if I can get another one.
Hamilton, Whiteman, friend of the pod, has been updating us on his health situation.
Oh, yeah.
He heard he was dying.
Yeah, he was dying.
He licked a slug.
Is that what it was?
Yeah, that's what it was.
But I just, if you want to send in a voice note and just let us know, are there,
is there anything we can do for you?
Any final requests you have, any, I don't know, loose ends you need tied up.
Let us know.
And I think the window of my podcast has closed.
A sweet little visitor.
All right.
Okay.
For next time, Jesse Eisenberg host, Mark Zuckerberg, came on the show.
Oh, yeah, we have.
I think maybe first herb...
Was this the triple Zuck open?
I think so.
And definitely a Herb Welch.
There's some fun stuff to talk about.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, we got to...
Hold on.
There's an audio clip here.
Here's a transcript of the New York Times ad.
Are you ready?
Hi, I'm Sam Azurski,
and I create the game spelling bee
and letterboxed on a daily basis.
And I have this thing called promisdia.
I see color when I'm listening to music.
I'm Tracy Bennett.
This is the second person?
Yeah.
You'd be Tracy Bennett then.
I get to pick the wordal every day,
which is not as easy as it sounds.
The fun fact about me,
is that I'm descended from a witch who is put on trial in Salem.
Wow.
Amazing.
Bragg.
Andy B. Joe Fazuliano.
He probably has a really heavy Italian accent.
Yeah, do it like Luigi.
Do it like Luigi.
Amazing.
And I'm Joe Fazigiano.
I created your daily mini crossword.
I've been making these puzzles for the times
for over 10 years now,
which is like a three or thousand minis.
I am a bag in the universe for any new five-letter word.
Excellent.
But then he said,
What's everyone's fastest many time and someone says four seconds?
Yeah.
So it is.
Somebody said one of them.
Probably Sam.
Yeah.
And then he says, I'll go find it.
I have my screenshot somewhere.
I don't understand how it's physically possible.
I don't think there's a fuck you, Andy in there, though.
Yeah, there's no fuck you.
Which is disappointing, obviously.
It is implied.
I mean, it's implied.
If you say you're doing it in four seconds, he's saying fuck you, Andy.
Oh, my God.
I think it'd be a good test.
Learn how to do it on a computer when you just type the word hit entry and it automatically
goes the next one.
Do a mini where you.
note it all, memorize it, and then try to do it again, because it's just typing in five words
in four seconds. You can definitely do that. I don't know how you can do a mini a second time,
unless you have like a whole other. Well, you'll just go on... I'll just tell you what it is.
I do the mini the second time. I'm a burner.
You've got those Lester Freeman wire phones, right?
That's right. Just so I can get one on Wordle. Check it out. All one. I get it right every time
in one. I don't know. I can't explain it. It's going to me. I get it right every time.
All right, love you dudes.
Love you, Seth.
Love you, love you.
Later, Arnold.
Later, Quades.
Later, Emily and Paris.
Orvo Quades.
