Hey guys, before we kick off this episode, we're going back to talk about some older stuff. There's some fan-made videos, so if you head over to YouTube, that's the best possible way to watch stuff.

Enjoy. It's the Lonely Island and Sett Myers Podcast. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Lonely Island podcast. Well, once again, once again without Andy, who is going to, I'm sure, send us in a couple voice notes based on what we talk about today. There was something, there's a few things I want to start with. First of all, I'm so embarrassed.

I made two sports errors in the last episode, and I'm the one who knows about sports. What were they, Seth? Supposedly. I mean, I caught them both, by the way. So I shamed you guys for holding up a jersey in football town. People do hold up jerseys at the NFL draft when they go to them. I was actually shocked that you said that, because I did think I had seen that before. I did bite my tongue going, well, he's the sports guy.

Yeah. So, I don't know. Well, I don't know what happened there. That was just short-circuiting. The other mistake I made was I mentioned Philip Rivers and said he was the San Diego Diego Chargers quarterback on the fridge and Great Day. It was Ryan Leaf, which we even talked about during that. Yeah.

When you said the name, I did go, that sounds like a different name, but I didn't know the name. But I like that the problem in both cases was you guys are so, I don't know, trepidious about your sports knowledge that you just stood back and you were like, you take this one, Seth. Because I didn't immediately have proof otherwise. I just was like, you know, let you hang yourself with your own rope kind of thing. Also, Seth, I always picture you as like kind of a jock of the group that like comes by and dumps slurpees on our heads with, you know, a varsity jacket on. It is really, it does speak volumes about you guys that I'm the jock of the group.

At one point, Rashida Jones was talking about and she said, uh, makes the lonely island look like jocks. And I was like, oh, interesting. I think you should do everything about that story but the name. Okay. Just beep it out. Just beep on the name. Yeah. I'm just going to go through some comments real quick before we get to the episode at hand.

Wait, Seth, does everyone just write in? Is it the same as your show where everyone just like, oh, the mistake? There's a mistake. I think because I have opened that up about me. Yeah. Yeah, they feel like we can beat corrections. You think there's a fair amount of jackal crossover? Yeah, I think there's some jackover crossover with the pie.

Jackover. Oh, this was very exciting. I think there's some jackover. Jack over. It's getting all over us. Oh, yeah, there's some jackover. There was a username to Aaron Cosmic, who wrote absolutely insane to see my old MS Paint Windows movie maker. So she made the art that we were watching during that. Oh, great.

Yeah. So when we talk about crossover of the pod, I like that somebody who made that animation to one of your old songs pre-S&L is listening to the pod. So a shout out. Yeah. I wonder if she was listening to her. someone tipped her off, but I'm curious. Interesting. Let us know. Let us know in the comments. Are you actually Quaid Army or did you get tipped off? But also 20 years ago, however young she was when she made that, she probably was like dreaming that we would see it. I don't want to pat ourselves

on the back, but I don't think she sounds like she cares that much now. Right. But 20 years ago, she was probably quite young and was like, whoa, I'm going to make this. I wonder if they'll see it. And it just took a long time. You just have to stick around. Yeah. Now, is that a rewarding thing when your dream comes true 20 years later? Or is it just embarrassed. Like, you know, we outgrow our dreams.

Like, you know what I mean? That's right. That's right. Probably has. No way. I love that thing. I think she's very proud.

That's my guess. She's so into it. She probably cried when she heard we were watching it. She's probably crying now. Probably. Yeah. I mean, this is like just continuing a week of sobbing with gratitude.

Yeah, we love you. We love you. Very much. A new portmanteau for the pod. Quump. A quamp is the quade bump when a YouTube video gets more viewers after we mention it. So football town got the quump.

Oh, of course it did. Yeah, oh. That must be so nice for football town. Yeah, I'm going to using that. The quump. The quamp. Great. A lot of comments.

I'm sorry he's not here. A lot of comments about how handsome Andy was in old football town. I remember at the time even just being like, oh, some of these shots, because like, like, I slowly realizing like, oh, if you put on clothes to try to look attractive and you make attractive-looking faces and you have wind in your hair and you kind of shoot it knowing, like, you're supposed to be. the hunky star, that somewhere it does make you that. It happened on Connor for real a bit too, where it's like, now you're going to dress

like a guy who thinks that he's attractive. And then everyone's like, Andy's really attractive in this. And you're like, right. You've got to be really attractive to pull it off when you're doing it ironically. You're trying to be comedy handsome. People are like, hold up. Yeah. Wait, I don't like this.

That's true. Wait, I can't get over Andy's neck in football town. He has such a, like, a thick neck. Really goes up into his head. It's important for him. were tackling. No, I mean, again, for our listeners, truly Andy is the jock of us. Andy is the one who actually played sports at a level that lapped all of us collectively. I played soccer with him. He was playing on Sundays with a bunch of guys and gals.

And right before, this was when Mari was shooting her movie out in L.A., and I went one Sunday because I was very excited. And then I was doing the calculation right after he was like, by the way, everyone's ex-college players or semi-pro. And I was like, oh, Okay, cool. And then I was doing the calculation. I was like, the last time I played soccer was 35 years ago. And then played 10 minutes was like slide tackling people on, because I was so excited on AstroTurf, which you shouldn't do.

And then 10 minutes in, I was like, well, there goes my hamstring. And then I was in PT for the rest of the summer. So there you go. Yeah. So you ran through every red flag and it ended where... Couldn't hang with the semi-prose. Somebody asked when season two of Digman was going to be, released on Paramount Plus.

I don't know the answer to that. I do know season two has aired on Comedy Central. But I will say there was very exciting news, which is it's going to be on Netflix. Yeah, it's honestly speaking for Andy, the dream scenario, because when they, you know, they go out and pitch the show, they're very excited and grateful to Comedy Central for saying yes,

but with the knowledge that Comedy Central barely exists. Yeah. So it was kind of like, well, we're going to make this show and people are not going to see it. And sure enough, they've made a really funny show, but people don't. really see it. Yeah. And the dream kind of is like, but then once we get a little library, does Netflix buy it when Comedy Central finally realizes they don't have a network? And it's literally

what has happened. So it's pretty rad. How many subscribers does Netflix have? They have a lot, right? It's like 175 million maybe. I was going to say over a million, but yeah, yeah. You were going to Dr. Evil in? I mean, I was right. Yeah. You were. It was right. Yeah. Hey guys, Andy here. I'm just going to jump in real quick. Our original thought their key with Comedy Central was not that no one would see it. It's just in the past few years, things have changed so much. But with Paramount business changing, streaming changing, we're not even sure what's happening with Comedy Central. But yeah, it is very exciting that Digman is moving over to Netflix the first two seasons. Can't wait for people to check that out. If you haven't seen it, now it's easier than ever.

If you didn't have Paramount Plus or Comedy Central, as Key was kind of alluding to, it's a show we're real proud of me and my buddy Neil Campbell and a whole bunch of really talented, funny people worked all hard on it. Please check that out. It's one of the things I'm most proud of in my whole life. Also, Yom, none of the people playing in that game were semi-pro. Like, not even close. It was like Nick Kroll and Rory Scovel and stuff. Mitra Jihari. These are just comedians. None of them are semi-pro. I'm not even sure if any of them played college. So I think it was more just that you were in horrible shape. I'm going to chime in more later. Thanks, guys. Hey, guys, this is Akiva interrupting from the exercise bike. Netflix has 325 million paid subscribers

globally. Thank you. Oh, and also Digman premieres on Netflix, March 17th. Put it in your cal or your practical calendar with a pen and or pencil got to get that quamp got we like them clicks we like them quamps your arms thank for saying such nice things about my neck i'm i'm assuming that you meant it in a nice way it sounded like you meant it in a nice way like you were maybe like slightly horny for me which has always been my dream and i think everyone out there knows that okay also just you know i'll do it because he's not here it's so funny if you're quaint army you're definitely going to be digman army so it's wild i think it'll be the thing where the old seasons go up and then a new season gets made for Netflix.

This is just a request. Somebody wanted it clean so they could use it as a ringtone. Yorm, will you give us a platinum in New Zealand? Yeah. Platinum in New Zealand! Okay. Thank you, Yorm. People can just use that like Mabong music now.

We talked about House of Cosby, which is on YouTube, and could really use a quump because it's very funny. And I went back and watched it because did we talk about you guys being voices in House of Cosby? Uh, maybe we did it. I think I forgot that we even did it. Yeah, you play three Cosbys. Your superhero Cosby is called the Triosby.

And the reason I bring it up is somebody pointed out. I'm like, that can't possibly be true. So your Cosby, Yorm, is like a superhero Cosby. Oh, God, I don't remember this at all. I know you're surprised. Well, I'm sure we were there for five minutes, and Justin was just like, say this, say this. Yeah, well, you would go over to his house, just recording his, like, kitchen. So, yeah.

Um, not credited, I feel like, I'm strongly confident that Chester has voiced in it as well. I'm sure. He was not in the credits. But you, you get crushed by a dinosaur. Okay. All your bones get crushed. In the next episode, you're literally in bed exactly the way you were for your recent. Oh.

So if we dig back into this old stuff from 20 years ago, we're going to find everything. We found the winter soldiering. Somebody was like, and also you in bed have a revelation that you're going to go into comedy now that you can no longer be a superhero. I wonder. I wonder if Justin was into voodoo. stuff and I was being like you know house Crosby both a very funny and very haunting to watch through the lens of the changing american viewpoint on Bill Cosby why what happened oh no right I forget you're behind on stuff no he's just on the other side you haven't read the news since Netflix had one million

subscribers no no well I was I was in the hospital so um oh somebody wrote the channel one-on-one show was called acceptable TV on VH1 oh I totally remember that as soon as you say at vH1 yes And then just the names of YotRot. So was Yot Rock a group? No, it was the name of a series. Okay, gotcha. Yeah, it was the equivalent of the boo. I see.

But it was Yawrack, and it was like a fake VH1 behind the music. And so they would dress up, and it would be these stories that they were just completely inventing, where it's like, the day Michael McDonald wrote, you know, sailing or whatever. And then Chris Christopherson would stop by and be like, hey, brother, what are you working on? You know, and like, and they would just dress up as all. I do. I'm going to shout out, the makers of Yachter. Rock because their names were said in J.D. Rizner.

Hunter Stair, David Lyons, and Steve Huey. Oh, yeah. Big ups. I'm sure those are all on YouTube, too. They were really fun. We actually, when we had a little bit of a budget in our production company to make short presentations to try to become real TV pilots. And ultimately, the show Penn 15 came out of that.

Like, first, it was a 10-minute pilot presentation from that money that became Penn-15. We did one with J.D. Rizanar trying to kind of take the format of Yacht Rock and turn it into a Comedy Central drunk history style show. How many did we do? Because we did one with Emily Heller too, right? Oh, we did, we did like probably 20 or 30 of those pilot presentations over the years when we were doing it.

Yeah, tons of them. There was a show called Alone Together that went on Free Forum for a couple seasons that came from one of those pilot presentations. And there was Andrea Savage's show called I'm sorry that was on, I forget it was a true TV or something, but it was a good comedy show that was written and directed by Andrea Savage and that won

a couple seasons as well. We had like a slush fund for a while. It was pretty awesome. Then it went away. But real shows worked and got on TV. But point being, we did one with Riznar that did not. But we shot up at that very famous house from the Big Lobowski that you see in things all the time. Right.

And it was Jack Black as Giorgio Maroder and Maya Rudolph as Donna Summer. That was really funny. And they were doing the, I need love, I need love, I need love. It was like the story behind the music of how that's. song came to be. And Randall Park was a robot that Giorgio Moroder had. That's right. I was like, Randall was in it, but I was like, what was his role? He was a robot. He was Giorgio Moroto's robot. And then Ryan Philipy came in as Bowie. That's right. That's right. Like, we got an all-star cast for the most fuck around thing. And it was

just this stupid, you know, fake behind-the-scenes documentary thing about the making the making of... One of the best things about this industry is calling your friends, cold and offering them like the most ridiculous roles or like being like, hey, do you have this prop? But that'd be a hard cast to get for a movie. Everybody would have to really block out the time and there'd be a lot

of money. But for something that's in L.A. for one day that is just nonsense and no one's ever going to see? Sure. Yeah. Everyone showed up. There's the fun things I was showing for. I know it's Diana Rosson, not Donna Summer. Have you seen Fred's bit where he's the drummer playing I'm coming out for the first time?

Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really funny. Just hitting those random drums and then just learning the song in real time. Yeah. Yeah. It's really amazing to watch Fred do a drummer comedy in front of the roots. Yeah. I mean, I think like for, you know, Questlove, who obviously has a great sense of humor, he must be like, this dude is like everything I've ever wanted. Combining all my interests. Yeah. I think Fred is the most specific person I know. I mean, I stand up for drummers. Like, shout out to a. Netflix special stand-up for drummers.

Oh, my God, it's wonderful. Just check it out. The most granular jokes that work for everyone. It is really funny. Do you remember that joke? It was early stand-up of Steve Martin, and he does this joke because he's like, oh, a lot of plumbers in the audience. And then he tells the plumber joke.

And then he's like, oh, you know what? That must have been a different night because nobody got that joke. I said, Sogit, not Sprocket. I referenced the movie Dave this week in a closer look. And it was so cool. And I had written it in. And it was just like the absence of a reaction. Oh, I saw it, Seth.

That was really funny. Since I'm a major Dave, the movie head, do you think I've led you to believe that movie's more popular? Because I reference it because I like Dave so much. I mean, I love the movie Dave. We're actually saying Dave would be a good movie to show the kids because I think it's probably just a fun idea about and also like a good message. Agreed.

What is Dave? What's Dave about? It's Ivan Reitman directed it. It's Kevin Klein and Sigourney Weaver starring. And it's that there's like a Republican president played by Kevin Klein. Yeah. Who is everything you would think of in terms of like corrupt and just playing politics and does not care about people. And he basically gets in an accident and is in a coma.

Doesn't he have a heart attack? Or heart attack maybe? Oh, yes. It's having an affair. Yeah. Yeah, I do. I'm remembering something like this where he is now incapacitated, but then the chief of staff and vice president get together and go, what if we don't tell the public? because we don't want, you know, and then finally we can run.

And then Kevin Klein plays a presidential impersonator who looks like him. Yeah, that does like birthday parties. So they go and find him and he's obviously amazing at it because it's Kevin Klein again. But he shows up as just kind of a riding my bicycle around town impersonator fun guy and kind of like starts to learn like, wait, everyone thinks I'm the president. Like, why don't I try to fix some stuff and starts actually like trying to balance the budget? and try to fix it, and, like, Sigourney Weaver figures it out because she's the wife that he hasn't shown interested in, you know, years, but now.

Now he's a good husband. So it's a little bit of a rom-com as well. Wait, is it, is he left-wing then? Or no, like what is? Yeah, yeah, he's clearly. Oh, I don't like it. I don't want to see this movie then. I don't think you'll like the politics of the movie.

I don't think it's, like, political spectrum stuff. Oh, yeah, Yorm, you won't like it. No, I'm very right-wing, and I don't like that lib-tard. That sounds like a l-tard bullshit. Yeah, it's propaganda. It is funny, Keith, how you're like, you know, and obviously he's great at it because he's also played by Kevin Klein. It would be funny if the originally, the producers were like, well, the problem with the movies, we got to find somebody who looks just like Kevin Klein. Play the other part.

Exactly. I think you want to wait for your kids to be a little bit older. Not because it's inappropriate, but I think to really enjoy it. I think that they'll watch it and think they enjoy it, but if they're a little older, they might really enjoy it. Support comes from article. Yoram, first, just a quick poll. Furniture, yes or no? Yeah, I like furniture, yeah, absolutely.

Great. Article offers a curated range of mid-century modern, coastal, and Scandy-inspired pieces. That's considered fine to say Scandy. You can say, instead of Scandinavian, I can just go Scandy? No, absolutely not. Yes, no, I was in Finland, and everyone was just calling each other Scandies all the time. Is that true? Yep, maybe.

Anyways, the thoughtful design approach makes it incredibly easy to mix and match, helping you create a space that feels cohesive and stylish. Now, we've talked about this before, but the truth is they did give us a little budget and give us some stuff. And I have a dresser in my bedroom, no lie, that is awesome and is so heavy. And that seems like a negative. It was hard to get it in there a little bit for me personally because it was just me. But it's heavy because it's made of real wood and not particle board like some other places. And it feels like a piece of furniture that I might have forever because of that.

Yeah. And I have an armoire that has like a little mesh thing. It's like the detailing in it. The drawers work super well. It's incredibly well built. I'm not kidding here. Yeah. Like the wood is great.

Not to say that usually we're lying, but maybe, usually, maybe we're just doing ads. And honestly, the stuff I was shocked because it was good. Yeah, me and Keev, love it. Yeah. Yeah, the drawer does the thing where when you like go to shut it, it shuts automatically softly, whatever that's called. Yeah. Oh, I love that. Yeah.

It feels very, very substantial. I don't if that's the right word, but...

I just got back from St. Lucy watching the Mets. I stayed at a home on Airbnb in Stuart. Island, Florida. And it was great. It was right on the beach, 15 feet from the water. It was amazing. Stayed there with another family. There was room for all the kids. The kids loved it. We spent our days on the beach. It was super nice. The place was also super close to a bunch of fine eateries. I felt like I lived at the place, guys. And that's what's great about Airbnb over a hotel. Hooking a trip on Airbnb makes for a better trip.

and you need a bit more space booking a trip on Airbnb makes for a better trip you can be traveling with family or looking to discover authentic and local experiences it does it all um my brother does a knockout gavinusim impression yeah and uh he did it on jimmy kimmel this week with the actual gavinuson oh he had the moment that's an L moment he had the moment he had the yes at a moment he came out to present an award to the actual Gavin Newsom. And Gavin Newsom did that really smart thing where Gavin Newsom started leaning into my brother's Gavin Newsom impression. Like he started doing, started stealing bits from Josh, which is like, I almost alley-oop the joke. Yeah, it's a very affable move. The bad move is like, I don't talk like that. The good move is you

start like doing the actual gestures and play the heightened version of yourself. That's great. Yeah, very fun. One last thing. And then, what did we decide the heist? Oh, yeah. Let's listen to some Oh, wait, I have one last thing to say, but a last thing, because you did an ad read for Good Chop, Yorm. Oh, I did. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I got some Good Chop stuff, for real. So somebody wrote pretty ironic that Yorm is doing an ad for good chop when he hasn't managed to schedule his Good Chop, parentheses, vasectomy. Oh, that's really good. Seth, like, hopefully later on, I'm going to be on your show, and I was hoping to actually schedule the vasectomy for that day, so we could talk about it. Not on the show. You want me to get the vasigna on the show?

Well, no, I'm saying not on the show. I know, I was when you said scheduled and on my show, like, you know, Jimmy does all those bits. I feel like maybe you could do a fun one. I mean, I feel like it's probably a, it's local anesthetic. I mean, if you were, like, covered with a sheet. Yeah, that's fun. And then we just had your head poking out, like, I don't know, magician assistant style.

Yeah, totally. Sounds good. All right, the heist. All right. So last week, since we don't have Andy with us, we went into the deep cut stuff and we tried to do, I mean, football town's heavy, Andy, but trying to do things that don't involve Andy. And we have another that's actually arguably the best song we ever did previous to S&L, I would say. Yeah.

Any of us. And it is a me and Yoram special, and it's what inspired. We talked about a little on the Lazy Sunday episode. By the way, we're going to send a copy of this to Andy with no qualifier, and it's just going to end on you saying arguably the best song we ever did. Let him know. I think you would agree. It's a great song. Let's see if he does, but let him know it.

And we did cannibalize it a bit for Lazy Sunday, where we were like, oh, kind of the tone. And you'll see there's a chamomile line that is snack attack verbatim, basically. Oh, yeah, verbatim. I will say, like, just before you play it, like, I love the beat, and I made the beat for this, but I can't remember the samples that were used. There are live guitars at the end of it, too, which my friend played, which is more detailed than most of our songs ever got.

But if anybody out there can tell us the sample, that would be And no video, correct? For the heist? No video, but for fun, I bet you there's a bunch online. Do you want me to play this off YouTube instead of this? I think so. No one's made by others. Yeah, get another person some shine.

Let's see if there's something out there. Also, Artie Party was a real earworm for me this week. Yeah, I heard that you couldn't get it out of your head. Oh, and Andy, Andy wrote in and say that he woke up thinking of the remix of Artie Party as well. I will say the Kid Icarus remix is the one that sticks in my head for whatever reason. Yeah, totally. I actually thought it was that one. By the way, the man who made that, my buddy from who I met at Guitar Center,

is named Brian Dembsky, and don't dox him. What is it? Yeah, yeah, docks him. Don't dox him. All right, so I got one from 20 years ago with 96,000 views. That's a live action one somebody made, you know, like shooting it with their friends. Yeah, but look who's back. Aaron X. Marie.

I think we'd watch Aaron's again. Yes, please, Aaron's. All right, funny. Iran changed her name. o'clock in the morning, I hear the phone ringing, yo, what up done? What up, son? Sorry, boy, you sleeping? Nah, just finish reading this ill-ass novel. Not the one about the girl who left a family up in Cobble.

That's the one, that shit was sad, had me crying on the pages. Yo, I read that motherfucker, had me sad as fuck for ages. Yo, we should start a book club. Yo, son, I hear you talking. How about Sunday afternoons right after speed walking? That's a date, but I know that ain't the reason for your calling. No doubt, you're so observant. Must have noticed I was stalling.

Best friends gotta tell each other their secrets. I just came from Pam's work and she did my heart and shit. Yo, what, that's Baskin'Rivens. Yo, you know the spot where your order frozen tweets and they rip your heart apart. Yo, I got what you need at the house. You cool to drive. I'm pretty broken up.

I might not make it there alive. Yo, it's cool. What's that sample? You remember? It's Mobb Deep. Yo son, your house was beautiful. Did you redecorate? Nah, kid.

The French light. It really opens up the food. Well it feels so spacious It's an optical illusion You didn't knock down a war Not sun, it's light diffusion My girlfriend Pam and I were planning on doing Some home remodeling

Yeah she borrowed all my coffees Of better homes and gardening Yo I mean ex-girlfriend can't believe This shit is happening Yo, have this cup of tea Man you'll never see those magazines This tea is delicious What you say it was

Camamil motherfucker It's a caffeinated cud Nah We're gonna chew too No doubt so no doubt No doubt son I'm soaked from the front of the back Oh shit, you're getting naked. We're an event.

Just hear something. God damn. What up, ma'am? How's it going? What an awkward situation? No, criminate. Yo, a wacky circumstance to lead all of this. Naked friends.

It's fantastic. I was wrong, Keith. It is not Mobb Deep as from a beat nuts song called Do You Believe? That's what the, it's ill, how I'm heated, my heart's they call. The beat nuts, yes. Shout out to Aaron again, who went by E-Dash Ron back now. Yes. Yes, crossed out.

Very fun to watch naked stick figures. I think my favorite detail about your breakup with Pam is that you guys were both about to cut back on caffeine together. That tells me more about the kind of couple you are, the kind of dude you are, and how you really must be heartbroken. We also do this a lot in a lot of Bollary Island songs where one person says something super lame and then the other person strongly agrees with it. Like, I am also that way. You're like, I was going to do that too.

Going back, if you have an unlimited budget, and this is a song that's going to be on an album, do you record Pam sang a line if you could rewrite it? Do you think you want to hear Pam? No. I think it's more of these guys just telling you the story. Gotcha. I mean, we had access to female voices, as is proved by Artie Party with Artie look good with that dump in your drawers. I guess that's maybe because that was the last song we listened to.

to it. I enjoyed that so much. I was kind of, I will admit I was a little hopeful. Oh, Tehira, to hear a lady. Yeah. I think I would have taken the air out of it because there's so much tension between these two guys that I think you're... What are other references? I feel like we're doing a little, trying to do a little bit of like Wu-Tang style back and forth, like ghost-faced stuff. I feel like there was a little bit of warning by Biggie. But there's other things being wrapped up in that that were, I mean, overall, obviously, we're just, you know, poking fun at how self-serious a lot of certain genre rap was.

I mean, we're each giving like 110% on each line. Like, we're just screaming. And then up to 120. When you start getting naked, Keith's fully in 125%. Yeah, yeah. We're yelling as loud as We're just screaming. We are just screaming. What's up, Chumbos? It's Andy.

Chiming in again. Let's see. The sample Yorm is yellow, tightrope. The great electric light orchestra, one of our faves, I'm surprised you didn't remember that because years and years later, we love the he so much, we even were like, should we just put it out, like in an official way, or like re-recorded or clean it up? And we were like, I don't think we can afford an E-Lo sample, even given some of the samples we did pay for. And that kind of squashed it at that point. So we never put it out in

official capacity because of that was my recollection. But hit us in the titus. Tell us if you disagree with that account. And then influences on the heist, I would say it's very much Wutteg, in my opinion. And interestingly, you guys are doing Ghost and Ray, because they would do the back and forth story songs the most, I would say. And I think that's probably what you had in mind. I mean, I can't put myself in your shoes, but that was my guess. But a distinction, in my opinion, re-listening to it, Akiva's really doing Rizza.

Like, it's full-throated yelling Rizza. almost like Gravediggas Rizza, which did bleed into many early Wu-Tang recordings before he kind of smoothed it out. Although sometimes he would bring that back. Look, he contains multitudes. Anyhow, as to whether or not it was our best pre-S&L song or pre-album song,

it's definitely one of the best. When I first heard it, I remember feeling incredibly geeked and inspired and happy and laughing so fucking hard. The only other one that I would maybe even put in the conversation with it is Stork Patrol, which is also 100% referencing Wutang, not surprisingly, because that was some of our favorite shit around that time and still, obviously. Stork Patrol gets a little gross in spots in ways that I think we wouldn't do now, but the flows are kind of impeccable,

and that is another one of my favorite early Yorne beats. It goes, as Keeve likes to say. But yeah, gun to my head, I'd probably take the heist. And obviously, the blueprint for Lazy Sunday and kind of everything we did from that point on, it kind of cracked open what we could do with the form as dumb comedy guys and also sounds good and bro, and you guys put time into the rhyme. So yeah, I'll give it the crown and, you know, I'll be back. Support comes from Coupe. Hey, everybody, it's Seth, and I'm going to try to keep it down because the other three guys are sleeping right now.

Yeah, but then we should just watch the video to it, probably.

Yeah, we should. we had been making songs, obviously, like the ones you're hearing. I'm not sure what order they came in, but at a certain point we made one and went, let's make a music video to it. And it was our first attempt at a music video ever, I would say. So this was,

this is shot in the original Lonely Island apartment, and we made it pretty quickly after we moved to L.A. Yeah. Like, we moved here. We all were, in that that we've talked about, you know, getting temp jobs and hanging out, and we borrowed a camera, and we were like, what would it be like to make a video? I don't know why we didn't

make one for the heist. Because when we made the heist, we were really proud. We knew, and, like, just the amount of people doing fan videos, like, we knew we had made something special, but maybe we thought we couldn't pull it off. I don't know why we never made one for that. It's weird, because it seemed, I mean, again, who might speak to what your sense of yourselves were then, but it seems

like easy enough to pull off. In hindsight, I would have given us the advice to make a music video to every one of these. Tarty party party, because why wouldn't we... Well, it would have been nice to just see our young faces, you know, etched in time. And when we eventually do our

noodles in the pot episode. Oh, yeah. Yes. This is what it's all building towards. Like, you know, let's try to get a quamp on that noodles in the pot video.

I would say Cablamo is our noodles in the pot, for sure. Yeah. Well, just to talk about the beat of how this was made. So a record player was plugged into the BR8, which is a eight-track

digital recorder. Basically, I would find a speed that I liked as the loop of it, and then record and just try to keep recording until I got the exact loop. Loop it on the BR8,

and that would be one track. Then I would take drums, listen to it, match the speed of the drums to that sample. On Techniques to 1,200, you could, like, go back and forth on plus and minus and then just get it to the right volume. So, pick break beats from, like, a breakbeat album.

So, like, that's how these were made. And then after you would get all of the samples for the song, get, like, the timing right for everything in the BRA, which is a ridiculous way to do it, kind of But then you would compress that all down, then that would be on one track, and then we would do all of our lyrics with the remaining seven tracks if anyone's interested in that type shit. Yeah. And to your credit, Yom, what you're also explaining is that we were using the wrong piece of equipment. Yeah. Like there was a keyboard, I'm forgetting what it was called, but I think it was made by Roland that my cousin used, that was like a sampling keyboard, like a synthesizer where it was made to make, you could make beats on it.

or there was a thing called an MPC that was very popular that you see anytime you watch old producers working out, that looks like a drum machine with a bunch of square pads. Yes, I did have an MPC at one point. We had a little control, the thing that keeps talking about, I was a little controller, and it would actually trigger digital sound effects in, like, later on, when we were making stuff in, I was making stuff in Q-base,

making stuff in Reason, and some... Those are computer programs? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And some of them still exist. But this thing, just an 8-track recorder is not the way you should be making beats. It does work if you're making like Nebraska. You're just making it by sound.

Like there's no, I mean, obviously it has a tempo, but that tempo is like, you're just I'm just doing all of this by sound. You're doing it like a band would though, like where you would lay down a guitar track and then lay down some drums. You were doing it like live musicians would. Yeah. Wait, wait, can I say one more thing about like just music in general, because this is sort of interesting,

is that we would also usually just do a either two or four bar chorus, and then you'd do a 16 bars because that's just sort of a standard hip-hop thing. So usually we would just sort of do that and then find our lyrics within that 16 parts. Wait, before we move on,

do you guys, were you at the table read where Fred, I really think it was about like the fall of Gaddafi and Fred played Gaddafi at the table with a guitar and a sampler. And he just kept, he made a song, like they were like, hey, they're closing in. And he just like thoughtfully walked over and like, it was just that Gaddafi was writing a song using,

like making his own music. samples. Like Reggie Watts would. He just did a full Reggie Watts while his inner circle was like watching and wondering what he was doing. But the joy of it at the table was like it was amazing to watch Fred in real time like actually make the samples and make a song. Yeah. So like ours was like that except for over the course of many hours. And not not a joy in any way. I might have to ask Fred what the inspiration was behind that and if I'm remembering it correctly. Also topical. Yeah. Yeah. It is. Time is a flat circle. There's some reflections in modern times. Fred could bring it back. He should bring that, but he'd be occurring. If it was occurring, he... Now it's this guy.

Lauren would order it up. Should we get Fred in to do another Gaddafi? Fall of a leader. Yeah, sad, fall of a leader. Flav of a tyrant. Okay, yeah. So here is Cablamo. You'll really hear us just, we're just like experimenting with our voices of like,

well, what does it sound like when I record my voice? Should I try to be this guy? Oh, that's very fun to realize these are the building blocks that you guys did not. So you didn't even have your like the many different personas that we've heard yet. These are all just like first time out. All of these is us like, like even when we're listening to Artie Party, like Yorm's trying to do Greg Nice from Nice and Smooth. Do you remember that? Smooth guy.

Duo, hip-hop duo, Seth. Yeah. I think you'd remember what was there. Is it Nice and Smooth? Hammer, Hama, nice and smooth. There's like two songs you'd recognize even if you don't think you did that you would know from, there's one with gangstar that you would definitely know from just going to

nightclubs in the early 2000s in New York where they would definitely have thrown it on. So that was what you were trying to do, right? Oh yeah, big time. Yeah. I mean, I love that dude. And I'm doing 50 cent on that one part that Andy pointed out where all of a sudden I'm just like, fucking

do my teeth for no reason. But it is funny, it is funny to say this of all the references we're making and then when you see it, you're just like, oh, the Beastie Boys. Exactly. That's what you look like. This, I don't know what we're doing. I think we are just trying to do Beastie Boys-ish. Oh, this one.

Okay, here you go. Listen, listen. I'm going to pause for one second. So when we were making Pop Star, we were like, oh, why don't we put in footage from this? And so there's a shot in it that's from Cablamo that I don't know if it's from the video or we found the hi-ate, you know, whatever, mini-d-V tapes. This was shot on and re-digitized the original dailies of this and found, like, the moment we're standing on the roof.

And I think that's in Pop Star, because it was footage of us young looking like we're trying to be in a band. It's, by the way, immediately could not be more Beastie Boys. Like, the first shot is like a Paul's boutique shop. Yes. A thousand percent. Then you're immediately, I feel like that's the roof from... That sample...

Well, that roof is at UCLA. You know, this was not that long after I graduated. And it's not right next of the theater department. There was an art building. I don't even sure if it's there anymore. But you could go to the roof. You know, any place like this where we were like, cool, that's a cool location.

We knew about it. Like, we drove over to you, so I got this shot. And then this is, some of this is in pop start. There's like a throwback to what our band of style was. It's also wearing thrift store clothes, but that is really what we wore to some degree. And Keeve, I did notice. Yoram just said a thing that you had just explained.

Yeah, I don't know where he was. He was out to lunch because I didn't. It was. I just didn't want it to, I didn't want you to start thinking you were crazy. Oh, the rooftop thing, you just said that. The reason I paused was talking about Pop Star. You know what's, you know, what's funny is that I was thinking about something entirely else. I know you're surprised by that.

But the sample, the sample for this, I had all these, like, old, like, Danny Kaye and Spike Jones records, not Spike Jones, the filmmaker, but the original Spike Jones today. And I think that that is one of those two gentlemen. but I had probably several hundred records that were around this time. Doing the laughter, the listen, listen, listen. I was worried that when you pause the video key, you also pause your arm. Oh, shit, it was. That's a really... That's how taken aback I was by Yorham adding me.

You think it was a click, kind of a click situation here. Oh, you clicked them. The reference to an Adam Saylor movie, guys. You clicked them. They no click. All right, here we go. Do they? They don't know any obsets.

references. Listen. Listen. You get shit in Doherty. The debutante's bumper. He gave you a call. He told you to meet him

at the corner at the Ivy on the wall but not. And everybody's Oh. Your mouth water is water. You're chilling with your dudes and they stab you in the phone.

Wait. How did we get this? How did we get this ambulance shot? I can't remember. That's Evan, right? That's Evan. Oh, right? Because he was actually an EMT, right?

He's an EMT. Yeah. Where you had a friend who was an EMT? Yeah. Our friend, Michael Black's friend, Evan, had just become an EMT. And he was our friend, too, at the time. And he was like, that's fine. Like, if I don't get a call, I'll just drive over.

And so he was just waiting on a call and we just, we just shocked me. That's great. Yeah. High quality. So Fred Siegel, for those that don't live in L.A., Fred Siegel was a very famous closing store, but we had just moved there. And we had no money. We had never been inside.

And we were just, it was just nonsense. It was just us, like, looking. at it. I don't know why that even came about as the writing process. It's so crazy. It was sort of iconic signage and it was like, I think for everybody in showbiz, there was a little bit of aspirational. Like, I didn't even know what was in Fred Siegel, but I knew that like you needed money to go in there. Yes. When we finally went in, I realized it wasn't my style. Yes. But it's just nonsense and it's just as being like, that's a thing. Like, again, we're making it for ourselves on some level and we're just goofing it. I don't know what, I don't know how to explain it.

But I do know that I still have friends that are like, Igity Ivy on the wall, but not around the lettering for whatever reason. But I also think it's us, like when you hear Beastie Boys or Wu-Tang or whatever, and they're talking about New York things that we don't know. It never stopped us from enjoying it. Like, we don't have White Castle on the West Coast, but I knew all about White Castle. I mean, there's still things in Beastie Boys that I have to Google, but you just love them. Exactly.

And they would talk about random people that are just in their studio, like George Ducrolius and stuff. and you're just like, I guess that's a guy. And so I think we were also just kind of doing a version of, like, it doesn't matter. It's a little bit like, you know, I mean, Santana DVX was our brass monkey, which I believe is a real drink just that's really fucking hard to get.

That is like, you know, malted wine or something. I can't remember what the fuck it is. But I do want to say that our lyrics feel painfully dry, which was something later that we would add reverb. We would always add reverb, and it makes you sound. It blends you into the song.

Yeah, because we had no clue. We're just saying the words into a mic and it's recording. We didn't even know that like every song you've ever heard has a little bit of EQ, making them brighter and a little bit of reverb minimum. Yes, something we added later. Like if you go into a real recording studio, the engineers, putting that on your mic before you even are at the mic, so when you hear your voice through the mic, it's not.

It doesn't suck and embarrass you. Okay. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I just want to say, Some of the shots that are on the roof in this were actually in Popstar. Okay, keep going. Okay, good. Great.

Yeah, you're welcome. I appreciate that. I'm just holding a light here. Yeah. You're chilling with your dudes and they stab you in the face. All the way to the hospital, you're bleeding all over the place. Your leg is amputated because you got gangrene. And then you get cancer and you guy in your teeth.

But then this really pretty girl who you always really liked, so is up to your funeral. Like, like, you chello is wobbly. That's got blamo. You make your forgot Marie. That's got blamow.

Your Harlem club trottery. That's got blah. Like, why is the disorderly's catching stress? Yeah, I don't know. Just no need. Like, when you don't think anyone's paying attention and you're this young,

we're just writing things. Like, I don't stand by any of these lyrics. Oh, but can we talk about, like, so I'm actually surprised at how many visual, you know, digital effects we did in editing. So there's a lot of flash that you added Kiev.

I think they're like polarizations, like quick little, and then, you know, like the pictures moving. We put that magnifying glass in front of the lens just to make it chaotic, which actually is like

it almost feels like what our DP was doing with, I'm on a boat as well. But, like, you know, there's a lot of chaos that's been created in this digitally. It's pretty good. I agree.

We spent the time editing and learned a lot of our tricks just playing around with it. Yeah. Just trying desperately to make ourselves look. Yeah, look at that glow on the Bat's Cablamo, you know, detail work. So we like Gilbert Godfrey but are not into the disorderly.

Also, why are we mad about majoring in pottery? That could be okay. Yeah, I don't know why that's a hit. When you're mining for coal and you forget what coal is. And you're sure to be fired because that's your job. When a mole's in your ass and you wonder where the bull is. You're screwed, man. A mole's in your ass. It's revealed. Your eggs are old English brule.

I think I was trying to be a wild. witch there. At least it's shitting on earth. But the homal and the ass thing is haunting you. And then awkward ending. Sure. That's complamy. I'm going to say something with love. That's cablemie. Which is the guys who made this, you can see another path where they suck. and went nowhere. That's fair to say. When we were finding it, we were really proud of it too. Yeah.

I'm not saying that it sucks. But we somehow knew which parts to leave in the past. We knew we were like, okay, that's, we proved we could make a music video. And we got that out of our system, whatever it is. But people liked it at the time, like our intention of being like, what if coblamo's a word?

And people liked saying cablamo to us. So at that age and that time, I don't want to poop on anybody who listens to this who's like, I liked Cablamo because I think we were all whatever age we were and thought it was okay but luckily we also grew from there. Yeah, I don't think anything about it

is bad or a bad list. I'm just saying like the people who made it could have taken the wrong messages from it. Agreed. You don't necessarily watch that and go, oh, I see all the promise that's here. Yes. The way just two guys I'd kind of do. Right. I think there's more cohesion

to the idea of just two guys where you're right. I mean, you're just throwing a lot of stuff against the and some of the stuff that didn't hit the wall could have been what you took away from it. I think that when I see this, when I think about my father and mother being like, oh, thank God they got S&L, that makes complete sense.

I'm just like, oh, yeah, you could have thought this went nowhere. Right, right. All right, so I'm composing the text, Andy. Here's his setup for whatever voice note he's going to give us. Andy, weigh in on Cablamo, The Heist, tell us about Digman News, when is season two on Paramount Plus,

and the Netflix thing. And I said that The Heist is our best song, pre-s-NL, do you agree? And also tell us about how you did on spelling me. Thanks for all those questions, Zika. I already answered most of them in my previous voice notes. Coblamo, yeah, full agreement with you guys. I don't want to be like boring people by doubling down.

There's some sloppy stuff in there. Our vocals are all over the road. There's a couple of fun little moments. The beat obviously is good. And I agree with you, Seth. You know, it's like sliding doors. You know what I'm saying? brother. So let's get to the important part. I got Queen Be Clean today. Not only that,

and Seth knows this, I got it four days clean in a row this week, and it felt fantastic. Just hot knife through butter. It's like there's no feeling like it in the whole world, you guys. And to me, it just makes me feel validated in a way that I can't express. Like it feels like it's my purpose. It's my why. You know, with a podcast. apologies to my kids and family and friends and career. But it's really the reason that I'm here. Anyhow, there was one day in between those. It would have been six in a row, but I missed by one the day before. So I didn't miss, actually. I just used a hint. So in your face against Seth, I guess. Look, you guys, I'm going to sign off now. I want everyone out there to know it. It's not for lack of

enthusiasm for the pod that I keep missing it. I'm just in a completely different time zone. And it's a brutal switch. So thanks, thanks guys, for continuing to make the pod of my Instead, thanks for enduring these voice note interjections. And if someone else says, later Arnold, I'd be pissed. So if you can just take what I'm about to do and put it after whomever says later, Arnold, so that I get the last word. That would mean a lot to me. I would imagine over at Paramount right now, that's probably top of mind.

No, it was Warner Brothers people being like, well, Netflix is okay because they feel more, like stable and it's less, you know, they're not going to dismantle CNN, but... Oh, but now they're going to be bummed. We're going to get Digman. But now Digman's on Netflix, they're like, fuck, we should just wait it. Right. Yeah. Digman jump ship.

All right, you guys, I got to run. Yep. Next time, if we don't have Andy, we can show you Stork Patrol and maybe Nintendo Cartoon Hour. Great. And thuggish-ruggish-Rugged Bone. I watch Thuggish-Rogged Bone. Oh. It's really, it's really good.

I'm surprised you didn't show up super horny. All right, love you guys. Love you too. Take it away, Arnold. Later, Arnold. Later, Arnold. Later, Quades.
