Kevin was just showing me a very cool standee that I was excited about.
A standee is the thing when you walk in the movie theater, that's the big cardboard cutout.
And he saw one up in New York in Lincoln Square.
Lincoln Center.
Lincoln Center.
There you go.
You've been gone so long, you forget, is it a center or a square?
Well, what's the square called there
where there's the big fountain?
Columbus Circle?
Columbus Circle, yeah.
So again, still no square.
No, we've got a circle, we've got a center.
Madison Square Garden.
That's it.
By the way, I really, I like in this era
of streaming and AI and all this sort of things
that are upsetting media as we know it,
there's still a big old cardboard cutout in a movie theater that's pretty exciting.
Yeah, it's the most exciting.
You got the standee.
But is that because of our generation and it's bringing back memories of the past?
I think it's still exciting. I think what you walk—yeah, I know, it's hard.
I'm like, no, it's not us. There's literally no one to rebut whether or not it is just us.
Yeah, we're right.
My kids, when we saw Inside Out 2 in the theater,
they wanted a picture in front of the big standee
where they're like with the characters.
Yeah, it's an Instagrammable.
It's an Instagrammable IRL thing.
Well, he took a picture of it, kept it,
so we can just share it.
And that's not promotion for the movie.
It's about just cardboard and how we like cardboard cutouts.
I do want to talk about the trailer
because everybody in my office, the writing staff,
is very excited, Keef, about the trailer.
Oh, good.
Well, I'm happy they are.
But here's the thing, Keef, like multiple writers have come to my office and said, have
you seen it?
Like, people are so desperate to know more about it, having seen the trailer.
Well, these two guys have seen it, but they've already said that on this pod.
I'll keep talking about it, though.
I loved it.
But I'm glad that they're excited to see it.
And I know you have, I don't know if you announced guests
this far in advance, but I know you have at least Pamela
is coming to be on your show.
Pam's coming.
So excited that Pam is coming.
And Keev, do you say Pamela or Pam to her?
I switch it up.
I switch it up.
To her, I usually say Pam.
But I like to be formal in formal settings
like this and say Pamela.
Like if you're cross with her, do you say Pamela
like when you say, call me Andrew?
Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
Pamela, hit your mark.
You're like Pamela, back to one, back to one, Pamela.
I actually think, Keev, you've never once called me Andrew,
but Yoram definitely has.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Andrew!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, Pamela must've been so excited to get a part like this.
I mean, she had just come off of shooting the Gia Coppola last Showgirl movie.
Yeah.
So she was in and then she had the documentary that her kids had helped make and then she
had her cookbooks and she was firmly in this new phase of her life.
Yeah.
And not wearing makeup on red carpets and becoming a fashion icon in that regard.
So she was well into that,
but had not yet done this style of acting, I would say.
Yeah. This completes a bit of a hat trick,
which is a serious role,
a documentary, and a comedy.
Like kind of knocking them out one, two, three.
I'm very excited for her.
Her reinvention of this new phase of her life and career,
she talks about it very openly.
Yeah.
And there's the people that were
paying attention to that and the people that weren't.
So there was some people where I'd say,
oh, it should be her.
And they'd be like, what?
Because in their minds, they're like,
that's somebody from Baywatch that they
haven't thought about in 20 years.
Yeah. And then there'd be the people that are like, oh my god
That's so smart because they're the ones that have been following her recent career and personal path
How did you feel Keeve about her just the the cynicism of her using you as a way to you know, complete a trifecta
And you had a further her own goods. I felt gross. Yeah
Yeah, I thought I thought I thought you cold called her. It was just like hey you ready to further her own goods. I felt gross. Yeah. I felt used. I thought you cold called her and was just like,
hey, you ready to complete your new phrase?
I've been watching what you're doing, kid.
Listen here.
I've been clucking you.
I called her kid.
Is that weird on set?
I would always be like, hit your mark, kid.
Pam Pamela kid.
I kind of was doing a Clint Eastwood.
I would be like, hey, hey kid, get over here.
Hit your marks, it's not that hard. Hey, you know, again, letting people behind the curtain,
we're actually recording this one at a healthy time.
And usually we record it so close to when it comes out
that there's more comments about the previous episode,
but the previous episode just came out.
So I don't have a lot for you guys
from the comment section today,
except one gem that I think you'll enjoy, Andy.
You said you were in the stud,
meaning in the studio,
but the closed captioning on YouTube
said you were in this dude.
Oh, fantastic.
That's just great.
That's terrific.
So I feel like really good.
So thank you, YouTube.
Do you think moving forward,
it's copasetic for us to say,
I'm about to go in this dude when we're going into the studio? That's like slang for in the studio. Yeah. All right, I'm about to go in this dude when we're going into the studio.
That's like slang for in the studio.
All right, I'm about to go in this dude.
I think it's fun.
I actually, Andy, just let's see,
because I do believe we're dealing with like AI closed captioning.
So just for the next video,
go back and forth a few times fast saying in the stude, in the stude.
Yeah. So I was in the stude. I was in the stude. So I was in this dude. So I was in this dude.
So I was in the stude. So I was in the stude.
That's great, buddy. Thank you.
Okay, great. Yeah. Don't let me keep going. I'll just keep going and going because I love a lot
of takes.
I mean, we did have that sign that we put up over the studio at our office that says
the butt because when we were taking phone calls, we would say, I'm going to take it
in the butt.
That is true.
It's in the butt.
Oh, sorry.
I'm getting a call.
I'm going to just take it in the butt real quick.
It's still up in our office.
It says the butt above the door to the studio.
It's funny because sometimes we'll have people come in for a project that's like a little
more serious to the studio. It's funny sometimes we'll have people come in for a project That's like a little more serious to our office
Yeah
That says the butt over the studio and then also that painting from hot rod where I'm getting fucked by a horse
We do serious stuff to there's some air between the horse and you there
There is air and and the MPAA would agree there was some air between you and the horse
I think we talked about it on the hot rod now hold on There is air. There is air and the MPAA would agree there was some air between you and the horse.
I think we talked about it on the hog walk.
Now, hold on.
So you guys have the idea that when a phone call comes in,
you're gonna say, I'm gonna take this in the butt,
but somebody has to make the sign.
Is this a professionally made sign
or did somebody just sort of-
No, it's just drawn by Yorm.
I drew it.
Just a little Yorm sign.
Okay, great.
It's not a drawing of a butt, by the way.
It's just a-
I mean, Yorm's very artistic.
It's very professional.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's kind of graffiti style a little bit. He's got styles. It's very professional. Yeah. Yeah. It's a, it's kind of graffiti style a little bit.
He's got styles.
He's got styles on styles on styles.
This might not have been the first time today.
Cause did this, but I remember being in Sud's office once and he was talking
about, you got to use your Sundays, you know, meaning our one day off of the week.
Use your Sunday.
And he made a sign on a piece of paper and put it above his door that said, use
your Sundays that you would always tap it on the way out and you could tap it on
the way out and then on in Ted Lasso, of course, his Believe paper is exactly that, right?
Now, I don't know if the Use Your Sundays was his first or if putting a sign above a
door that you tap on the way out was just a move he always did.
I will say at Boom Chicago, I put up a sign before you walked on the stage that said,
perform like a champion today, which was a ripoff of Notre Dame's play like a champion today.
So you would tap that, we would all tap that
as we went on the stage.
So do you deserve a residual on Ted Lasso's believe sign?
I mean, they sent me a jersey, so I feel pretty good.
I feel taken care of.
It does make you wonder what this show
would have been like if it had said
the butt instead of believe.
Oh, yeah, and they all tapped the butt
on the way to the soccer field, the pitch if you will.
You could apply that to a lot of signs.
Also never, like never explain.
I mean, if you think about that for any common sign really,
like if stop signs just said the butt,
it'd be confusing for sure.
The best I think, if I could go back and remake Ted Lasso
and obviously the success of it, I wouldn't touch it.
But it would be fun if there were two signs, one that said, believe, and one that said the but,
and different players just hit different ones on the way out.
Right. Well, if they had to go to the bathroom,
then I think that we know what they would choose.
I mean, gotta go over here, guys.
Seth, your big guest starring role,
the trailer came out too, this week.
Great.
Diggman, season two.
I'm on Diggman this year, guys, and it was so much fun.
Yeah. Oh, that's exciting.
I'm excited.
I gotta push it.
What's the name of your character?
I hope it's not a silly name.
Do you remember the name of your character, Seth?
I don't.
So I guess we all have memory problems.
Yeah.
Anyway, we've done a lot of really nice promoting
of Naked Gun over the months, but we haven't done DIGMAN.
And DIGMAN is such a funny cartoon,
and it comes out actually July 9th.
That sounds right.
The second season.
So it has a whole first season that is now
on Paramount Plus, I believe.
And anywhere else, Andy?
Comedy Central.
Comedy Central, yeah, you just get your rabbit ears
on your TV, plug it into the co-act.
If you haven't cut your cord yet.
I would dare anybody to watch the first,
the sort of cold open of the first episode of Digman,
I laughed really hard the whole way,
because Andy's playing sort of a Nick Cage-esque archaeologist,
and it is a fantastic action sequence to open the whole thing.
It is... If you want to hear Andy sound a little bit like Nick Cage
while it's a comedy, Raiders of the Lost Ark,
I feel like it's right up your alley.
Yeah.
I wouldn't even call it a cartoon, guys. I would call it an animated series.
That's how respectful I feel about it.
Oh, bless you.
I honestly would call it a comedy above all else.
If you like a million jokes just zapping at you.
It's pretty funny.
It is rapid fire and they're very funny.
And so it did a whole first season
and they ordered a second. Great.
You finished it all locked up, Andy.
All color corrected, all mixed.
Oh yeah, we're locked and loaded. I mean, I noticed that people who were excited about the show were
like, well, I didn't even know it was coming back. And a big part of that is because there was such
a long break because of the writer's strike. Right. And because it's Comedy Central first,
it airs one at a time. And then they all dump somewhere like an old school real show.
Yeah. That's cool. I think it's the P plus, the power of the-
So they all dump on the P plus.
Yeah.
Now you had a poster, sorry, sorry Seth, one last thing.
No, no, please keep Digman.
Just to tie it into what's really important.
You had a poster and trailer drop the same moment day,
which was yesterday for when we were recording this on Monday,
the same day Naked Gun did, even though we both have Paramount as the company. There's no synergy there.
Do you think the head of Paramount was like...
-"No, wait!" -"But it was too late."
-"No, no! This is all wrong!" -"Shit, shit, shit!"
-"But I'm press 10!" -"Oh, we filled up the internet!"
-"Gary!" -"Yeah."
Or do you think instead they were like,
"'What the fuck is going on with the Skydance thing, man?
Are they gonna pay off Trump? We're so're so fucked, the industry's in flames.
Do you think Sherry Redstone watched every episode of Dig Moon
before it gets approved for the air
to make sure there's nothing that could mess up the deal?
Like, there better not be a Trump joke in here
because he won't approve.
He'll get the SEC to block the merger.
Oh, they're worried, right.
I mean, animation takes so long,
and then when you throw the strike on top of it,
like, all these jokes gotta stay evergreen, baby.
Nothing topical.
Nothing topical.
That's nice. Opposite assumption.
And Sherry called you, Sherry Redstone called you and said,
you know, I'm getting fucking shit coming at me from all sides,
and the fact that you got this nice, safe show,
I can't thank you enough.
I have 60 minutes bending the knee.
When you gotta come with Digman and take pot shots
at the POTUS, you're gonna fuckman and take pot shots at the potus.
You're going to fuck up my billions.
That's how it went.
I'm going to say on the record, no, that is not how it went.
However, we are very grateful to the good people over there for let us make a hilarious
show full of jokes to get our goofs out.
Well played.
Now that we've promoted Digman, I'd just like to promote Paramount Plus and say that I watched
Mobland.
Anybody watch Mobland?
Oh yeah, I watched all of it very quickly.
Super, super fun times.
Enjoyable.
He's fucking great.
Real easy.
British crime, Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Tom Hardy.
Tom Hardy's fucking murdering it.
He's great.
If you like a guy who mild-manneredly murders people and takes care of business, then that's your murdering it. He's great. Just like, if you like a guy who very mild-manneredly, like, murders people and takes care of business,
then that's your show.
Yeah.
But there was a moment, and I really genuinely highly recommend this show, but there was
a moment that made me laugh really hard because it was Pierce Brosnan.
Somebody killed a family member of his.
It's about a mob war.
Yeah.
And he goes, this isn't war anymore.
It's nuclear war.
Oh, that's good. And I was like, oh man, that's really... He goes, this isn't war anymore. It's nuclear war.
Oh, that's good.
I was like, oh man, that's really.
It was a real long pause.
There is that thing where you kind of,
I loved it as a line of a thing a dumb guy would say,
to really try to hammer home how bad things are.
Wait, but did you say nuclear or nuclear?
Well, he has an Irish accent,
so you never know how they say it.
Wait, but was that part of the joke?
I don't know, man.
Look, let's not.
Did I miss it?
OK, sorry, sorry.
I'm gonna let it slide.
I don't know, man.
Look, I'm just, you gotta take it up with Pierce.
This is cavalry all over again.
Listen, man, he's already done taping for the day.
He had the negronies.
I was in my head about doing the Irish accent.
You know what, Seth?
While we're on the subject, yes, I did get Queen Bee today.
Thanks for bringing it up, you fucking piece of shit.
You're just so happy, because you didn't yesterday.
No, I was one short yesterday.
You know how when you open a YouTube video,
it has the little graph at the bottom that shows you, like,
when people are watching and where
the spike of rewatches are?
Yeah.
If you go into ours for this pod, not joking,
whenever Andy announces if he got Queen B,
you see this huge drop off right after,
because there's so many people
that just are waiting for that moment.
Oh, so they're not bummed, they're just only waiting for it.
Yeah, they're like, wait, but did he get it?
Fucking say if you got it, dude.
And then they do, and they're like, he got it again.
All right, next week.
Oh, it's like a drinking game almost.
He's like, the minute it happens, it's like a drinking game almost. Like he's like, the minute it happens,
it's like, well, I'm spent.
We should do a second, like a companion pod
that is just Andy announcing the B,
but it has double the ads.
Oh my God.
Yeah, that's smart.
Well, honestly, because people are just tuning in for it,
it's actually the way we're doing it is smart,
which is peppering it randomly.
Because if they always knew it at the end,
he does it like Andy Rooney at the end of the old 60 minutes.
They can just fast forward to it
and get it just where they want it to.
Can we do an episode where Andy starts doing the B
at the top of the episode
and we see if he can do it by the end of the episode?
I would really like that.
Oh, and periodically goes three words down,
eight words down, and just lets us know how it goes.
Yeah, he doesn't tell it.
I could easily do that on one where I had nothing to do with the short.
That might be fun.
Yeah, let's do that.
Yeah, okay, we'll do that.
Andy, but I guess my question is, how much are you thinking, when the pod starts, are
you already thinking when's a good time to tell everybody I got B, or does it just occur
to you at some point?
It depends what time of day we're recording.
Like if it was like right after I got it, I'd be like frothing at the mouth, chomping at the bit.
Right.
I mean, obviously I already knew you got it
because you sent it to me.
You knew it because I texted you hours and hours ago,
but you didn't bring it up, I noticed.
Well, it's a really nice surprise
for the two of us though, so thank you.
Yeah.
I had a hunch just based on your general lightness.
Right, there's a, yeah.
I was like, this guy looks like he got Queen V earlier.
It wasn't that he finished Digman. Also, there was a, yeah. I was like, this guy looks like he got Queen V earlier. It wasn't that he finished Digman.
Also, there was a fair amount of eye contact on the Zoom
and you can tell when Andy's still grinding away at the bees.
Yeah.
Just like glances up every now and then.
Yeah, and it wasn't as grumpy,
because he's not, the bee is a rejection.
It's every five seconds he's being rejected.
So we're on here being wisy grumpy,
but he's looking down and being like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
It's constant.
Because again, basically this podcast
has just turned into a way to coin new slang.
Do you think we should say that
when you've got a bonnet in your bee,
it means that you're just in a super good mood
about the fact that you queen bee'd?
Oh, sure.
Oh, a bonnet in your bee.
Taking it back.
Yeah, not a bee in your bonnet,
you got a bonnet in your bee. We could be like, oh, Andy's looking pretty good today. He must have a bonnet in your bee. Like taking it back. Yeah, not a bee in your bonnet, you got a bonnet in your bee. Yeah.
We could be like,
ooh, Andy's looking pretty good today,
he must have a bonnet in his bee.
Bonnet in his bee,
because he's, yeah, like the bonnet is the prize.
All right, owning the phrase.
Do you think, would you say it's a bonnet on his bee
and it's a bonnet, the queen's tiara?
Crown tiara, I was gonna say the same thing.
Because he's queen bee.
He's got a bee with a bonnet.
He's got a bee with a bonnet, yeah,
or he's got a bonnet on his bee.
Me with a bonnet is good.
Me likey dat.
I had the best thing happen on Father's Day.
My middle axle basically carried our sono speaker outside like a boombox
and then danced to the Beastie Boys for me.
Oh my god, what song?
Shake Your Rump.
Interesting.
Because he knew you liked the Beastie Boys and he was like,
I'm going to do this for dad?
Yeah. I mean, I was playing it and then he said, like,
basically, let's go outside and dance.
Oh, my God.
And, uh, here.
Shake yo rumpa.
Can I say something that you will probably
be surprised about?
Yeah.
I think the Beastie Boys fucking rock.
Here, just enjoy this for a second.
We can see him dancing.
Oh, he's jamming.
Yeah, he's shaking his rump.
That's very cute.
And I like that that's prepared for you.
Like, this is what dad likes.
Yeah, this is what dad would want.
I wear a Beastie Boys t-shirt often, because we got it when they did their book tour.
And both my kids, at one point or another, when they were first learning how to talk,
would say, Beastie Boys!
There's never a moment where they're acknowledging the existence of the Beastie Boys, that it
doesn't make my heart soar. We, you know, that book has a picture of them, Washington Square Park, you know, under the arch.
And, you know, we go through Washington Square Park on the way to school and when my boys ride their scooters to school,
they literally just, they're New York kids and they just like zigzag in like people and they get way far ahead of me and they like,
it's just pure mayhem and in my head, all I'm ever singing is sabotage.
It's just that is the theme song of my kids going to school,
and it makes me very happy.
Real quick, we have a lot to talk about.
Do each of you have a favorite Beastie Boys song?
First one that pops in your head that you would say is your favorite?
That's my favorite, Shake Your Rumpa.
Shake Your Rumpa.
Really? Shake Your Rumpa.
Yeah.
It's probably still Paul Revere.
Like just that killed in third grade
when I first got the cassette and that's how old I am guys.
I was like fucking blown away.
Reading about how they made that too was like the best.
That was definitely my favorite.
I was gonna say Slow and Low though.
Slow and Low goes.
But Paul Revere was definitely one of the very first songs
I ever memorized every word and would sing,
and would rap along to. Great.
Shadrack, I love that song too.
Yeah, man.
Well, there's many if you're going to list them.
Many, many.
What about you, Andy?
The first one that popped into my head even though I asked the question was Car Thief from Paul's Boutique.
I just love that beat and I love how they go on it.
But I like these guys also memorized and filmed myself with friends performing Paul Revere.
It's a fantastic. We've been watching old videos with the boys,
because they're just so fun to watch.
They just look like everything you...
If you've listened to the songs with your dad,
you're like, this is even better,
that they look and act like this
and walk towards the camera and trade off lines.
They look like three friends that you're like,
oh, I want to be like these guys,
with this much energy, jumping off of stuff.
The one they love the most,
do you remember when they were in Letterman
and they came up from the subway?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a fucking,
I just watched that one, it's fucking great.
It's unbelievable.
So they are filmed live on the street,
coming up the subway.
They're basically just like doing a classic live Beastie Boys
of like trading lines and moving in and out of the camera.
And then they walk through the stage door of Letterman
and out on stage to finish it.
What song was it?
Do you remember? It's later, Beast Youth.
Fuck, I just watched it too.
Uh, pass the mic.
Intergalactic?
No, it's way post Intergalactic. It's like the...
I think we maybe have mentioned this before,
but we saw them rehearsing and performing
at the MTV Movie Awards, right?
When we were writing for it, they did Intergalactic.
And I remember, I had seen them in high school,
like at the Oakland Coliseum, but I was trashed.
But still, like, getting to, like, sit in there
and watch them, like, do their rehearsal
and their sound check, and just being like,
fuck, they're actually so good live.
It goes without, it should go without saying, when you're actually seeing someone performing and they're trading off so fast, and you're like, fuck, they're actually so good live. It goes without, should go without saying.
When you're actually seeing someone performing and they're
trading off so fast and you're like,
right, they've been doing this for so long,
and they're just exceptional. It was really cool.
Also, when we were rehearsing for our live show,
there was a coffin,
which is the container for turntables,
not an actual coffin, and it had in it, at the studio,
a laminated set list of the Beastie Boys from like 1994.
And I was like, can I keep this?
And it's framed now in my house.
They let you have it?
Yeah, because Bill had brought that coffin for some reason.
Our tour, like he was amazing.
Tour manager, right? Is that what you call it?
Overalls Bill.
Yeah, Overalls Bill did those Beastie Boys tours.
Yeah, so he had that coffin for whatever reason.
He was like, yeah, sure.
He's like, I know how to handle you guys.
Buy you off with trinkets.
It was Check It Out.
That was the song they did on Letterman.
Oh yes.
It is killer.
All right, I can't wait to watch that.
It's really great.
Support comes from Cash App. Cash App. Yoram. All right, I can't wait to watch that. It's really great.
Support comes from Cash App.
Cash App.
Yoram, sometimes you and I get dinner and oh my god, my least favorite part is just
we go to our wallets and we're trying to split it up exactly.
Oh, we get out the calculators.
Get out the calculators.
You have that old sort of antique sewn change purse that you love so much because you like
to get it to the penny.

Good diversion to go to the Beastie Boys so much fun to talk about them
Why I just liked when Yoram said like it surprise, like, I just wanted to be those guys.
Like, anybody looking at the three of us wouldn't be like,
yeah, obviously they modeled their entire lives.
They made whole, like, fake other,
they're comedians who made a whole other persona.
Oh, do you think it's obvious?
ALL LAUGHING
We literally are modeling ourselves
after them on many songs.
From third grade, that's who we wanted to be.
It's like an older version of the Swedish band that raps about saunas.
What's our most one-to-one Beastie Boys song?
Is it Me Likey Dad?
I mean, there's a Incredibad might be.
I would say Brass Monkey though with Santana DBX.
I think that, you know, that was the style.
Yeah, but we're not, we're doing the coup on that.
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, we literally are doing them on a couple.
And then me and you doing uniform on from Bash Brothers, where we're just doing it with
the big 808s and we're just trying to make a Licensed Dale song.
Yes, a lot of moments on Bash.
Which song is that one?
The, she says you wanna fuck me with my uniform on.
Right, right, yeah, that's full on.
And we're doing the shouts and it's a straight up...
I cannot do it, I cannot do the hype.
But also, also the beats on that too are entirely...
She grabbed me by the bat and I was going, going, going!
We are doing slow and low on that.
Yeah, by the bat.
Well, do you guys wanna talk about
as Zach got from Cut From...
For how much time we've just wasted.
Well, let's watch it.
I'm also looking at the cut after dress
and there's a sketch called Balcony Songs,
which I'm sure sucked, but we thought it should air.
I loved balcony songs.
And it was one of those times where it played in dress so late that you guys were already
in your meeting because you already had so much to go through, I believe.
Andy, stop me if I'm wrong.
But I believe it was one of those times where there's two more sketches at dress and Lauren
goes like, I've seen enough.
I have to go make some decisions.
Like I forget what other sketch it was, Seth, where you were like, you were tapping them
on the shoulder going, you should be looking at this. Something that almost didn't.
That was Betty White, I was going straight.
Exactly. It was that same thing where we're under the bleachers being like, our sketch
is literally being performed for an audience that's laughing and he's not even here. He's
gone. And we were like, but they're laughing. Why isn't he? And it was just like...
We were like, I guess we're not in air
because it's not even being watched.
What was Balcony Songs? Do you remember it?
Balcony Songs, I was very proud of the writing of.
I don't remember how it actually went and how it looked.
I think my takeaway after Balcony Songs did not get picked
was that we should have done it as a pre-tape, shockingly.
But the gist was that we should have done it as a pre-tape, shockingly. Yeah.
But the gist was that it was like a, you know,
let's say American tale or Aladdin kind of a vibe
of like two people on their balconies looking up
at the same sky or something.
But then it keeps going to more and more balconies
and different weird characters and stuff.
And they all start joining into the song.
I believe, I remember that.
And I think that that was maybe an unfair standard that Lauren held you to as well,
which is he was probably watching balcony song.
I guess in this case, he wasn't watching balcony song.
But he probably had seen-
A rehearsal.
Sure.
A rehearsal and he was like,
well, it doesn't pop the way like their pre-filmed,
quickly edited shorts do.
And I don't think he treated other people
or held other people to that standard.
Ooh.
That felt about right.
Yeah.
Should we watch it though and see if it actually...
So is that... Wait, Seth, is that why Muglis didn't air then?
Yeah, bud.
Okay.
Okay, let's watch balcony songs.
Yeah, that's it.
Here we go.
Now, I might be wrong,
but I do think someone pisses on somebody from a balcony.
Don't fucking spoil it.
Akiva, you always spoil it.
Don't spoil, I wish it would rain.
Well, yeah.
We've got some time.
It never aired, you know?
["Rooftops"]
High above the rooftops,
in a city all alone.
I know she's out there somewhere.
The girl I know my own.
Through the clouds I see the stars, and my heart skips a beat.
Is he somewhere needing me when we're together?
Does she look upon the same sky? We should part in the same star.
Will he shower me with love switch there. Candy bar?
Okay.
Can I just follow?
So it was Abbe Allitt, it was Zac Efron looking very handsome on one balcony, Abbe Allitt looking
very beautiful on another balcony, just, you know, very nicely, both of them.
And then it cuts to Andy, he's in a white tank top.
He's got glasses and long...
Not good hair.
...hair, maybe in a ponytail.
Kind of stringy hair, yeah.
A loose pony.
A loose pony, so it's all floppy and, like, ratty,
and he's got binoculars. Okay.
It's like if Kenny G's hair lost all the curls.
And, like, a white beater and... This is a real Andy writing move of the minute you start talking, you're like, and he's got binoculars. It's like if Kenny G's hair lost all the curls. And like a wife-feeder.
This is a real Andy writing move of the minute
you start talking, you're like, I'm a different dude.
Yeah.
Well, sketches, you know.
I wonder if they'd let me watch and grind upon this land.
OK.
Gotta laugh.
Ish.
Does she know that I exist?
That I see her every day?
And if she let me hold her hand
I love you, I would say
Cupid pulled back with his bow
His arrows straight and true
Yeah, could use some adding up, too slow
I wonder will they be as one Yeah, could use some adding that. Too slow. He's holding it up. With carnal rage, the Twilight soundtrack glows
He's holding it up.
This night I wish I might see her
Wish I might see him
I paint my body like a skunk and hide inside their hedge
A hurt tale of a giant skunk who's been seen round his part Alright, so it's Forte dressed like a hunter with a hunting rifle binoculars as well, and
he's heard about this giant skunk.
Yeah. I'll kill him for his gunk belt The hunter is so manly
Makes me feel like a lady
As a wig
I remember this
As a fancy lady
As a fancy lady
Very beautiful
Also with binoculars
Like lavender cocktail evening dress with a martini
Martini with a twist, Keef style
Yeah, oof
And I mean, you just got me thirsty, bro
Somebody's coming out the door behind her
I wonder who this is gonna be.
And she's here for the hunter that she's into.
Okay.
Yeah.
The bathroom is too crowded here,
so I'll pee off this ledge.
Okay, so they're at a fancy cocktail party
because Sadegas came out in a tuxedo.
Now he's gonna pee off the ledge.
This is a good misdirection.
You think that he's gonna be related to her in some way.
That wig immediately looking down with the binoculars
at him taking his wang out.
Yeah.
Keenan.
Ever since I was a child,
hey, hey, hey, what is that, bitch?
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on! All right, so this is an applause break, and that was the moment when I went, what the
f— he's not even— is he hearing them applauding?
He's upstairs on nine talking.
Is he hearing that the audience is— what's the point of the show?
Is applause and laughter the point of the show?
I forget.
What's the point of the show?
And it is a well-earned, well-crafted applause break. Like, they're basically saying thank you for the craft.
For having a long game with this one.
Yeah.
Slow build, if we were to redo it today,
I mean, I know there's more, I would definitely cut
a lot of it in half and speed it up.
Just the setup stuff. Just the setup stuff.
Yeah, I mean, but again, part of it is it's picking up pace.
Also, the way Kenan sang.
Yes.
He was singing the words,
-"Ever since I was a child." -"Ever since I was a child."
Yeah, he's ready to do a long verse.
He's got his lungs.
You feel how much air is in his lungs.
And he is pushing it out. He's ready to go.
It's also just the voice of it.
Yes, yes. Just this operatic one comes in.
Ever since I was a child,
hey, hey, hey, what is that, this?
The furthest thing from yelling.
It's very high opera, very low.
You didn't know he was underneath.
Yeah.
Broken to this house tonight.
Bill Endre's already breaking.
He's nice, having trouble getting past, because he was in the bushes next to Kenan, watching
Kenan's performance at point blank range, and it affected him.
Well also, Bill tells us every time we ask him to sing, in our full seven years there,
please don't ask me to sing, I can't sing, and I hate singing.
Not like Wiggs, don't make me sing character.
No, no.
Don't make me sing. Like he really didn't wanna sing.
That was based on Hater.
Also Hater, always Don't Make Me Sing,
not as bad as he let on, always perfectly fine.
Yeah, I mean this is pretty bad.
It was never dreadful, yeah.
Yeah, but this is cause he's coming out laughing.
So he's dressed as a classic cap burglar
with like the skull cap and all in black
and turtle neck and whatever.
All right, here he comes. Just as a classic cap burglar with the skull cap and all in black and turtleneck and whatever.
All right, here he comes.
I broke into this house tonight.
The owner came home so I hid.
But then I saw him get whizzed off.
So things are looking...
So we also wrote him one that doesn't rhyme, which didn't help him at all with no discernible
melody.
Barbecue!
I'm having a barbecue!
Alright, so this thing should have aired, number one.
I thought I was going to see something and go, oh, I see why they didn't air this.
No, fuck that, this is good.
It just cut to Bobby and he just did that little ditty on another one.
He's grilling some steak.
Yeah, he's just a happy guy barbecuing. He just got to Bobby and he just did that little ditty on another one. He's grilling some steak.
Yeah, he's just having a guy barbecue.
He's got a big old T-bone on there.
Barbecue is just super normal.
He's in a completely other melody.
It's like a bridge.
It's like a...
He's just another balcony guy.
I'm having a barbecue.
He sells it so hard right there.
Is she out there right now? Thinking of me too. Befron shredding by the way. It's so hard right there
Everyone's shredding my nose
Oh, it's like Reggie Oh, he's got the skunk hat on Oh I am cooking scum meat on the ground
It's a three, it's like a Brady Bunch split screen,
six-way split screen.
Fireworks on top of the superimposed over it.
Listen to this applause, Seth.
What's the show all about?
I mean, this is, yeah, really no excuse.
I would say one of our better live sketches and it didn't even air. No wonder we were salty.
I mean, the real question is like, should we be saving it for when one of us goes back?
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I think that's fine for the Quaid army to know that they're finally gonna get to see
it.
It's like a second chance theater, which it could still be as well, Seth, on your show.
I don't think this burns it.
No.
Okay. I think that'd be a great second chance theater.
It'd be fun to trim up the top, just feel that relief.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna say one of the things I love about the hater part
is, again, everybody was sort of forced to do stuff.
Like, you were already out of cast.
Right.
You know what I mean? Like, and it's super fun.
Going back and watching it, it's a blast that hater's in that as well,
because... Out of his comfy zone. Kevin says, it's a blast that haters in that as well because...
Out of his comfy zone.
Kevin says,
it looks like Dress ran super late,
so many sketches cut and this aired after 10 p.m.
But that's what I mean. He looked at his watch and went,
okay, done watching and you're like,
great, but...
Yeah.
They just picked too many things that week.
It's not fear.
It's not fear and we're mad.
Can I say something about how great Zac Efron's singing?
It's a little trivia, but you know, well known. If you watched the first High School Musical, it's not fear, and we're mad. Can I say something about how great Zac Efron's singing?
It's a little trivia, but well known.
If you watched the first High School Musical, it's not his voice.
They overdubbed him the way you might do if you were making a Disney Channel movie
that you didn't know was going to grow, become iconic.
And you have people you cast who are kind of out of oblivion, as far as I know,
just Disney kids or whatever.
And you're like, I don't know if his voice is strong enough, so he doesn't sing on the first
High School Musical, and then he does sing in High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3.
And he's talked openly about how he was annoyed by that and thought he could sing good enough.
And you watch this, he's carrying the tune the best of anybody.
Oh, he's really good.
He's really good.
He shreds so hard in this that that's why he's so shredded now.
Right.
Yes. The body had to match the voice.
By the way, he was pretty shredded then.
He was super shredded.
He was.
He looked pretty good.
And his baby blue eyes, I just remember
being like watching on camera when
we were shooting the short that didn't air,
being like, Jesus, this is the handsomest guy I've ever seen.
No, we told him to stop.
We were like, dude, you need to cover up those baby blues.
You're supposed to look like shit right now.
Yeah.
And you know what?
A sweetie to boot.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's a real sweetie.
Maybe he comes on your show,
and that's when the Second Chance Theatre comes in.
Ooh!
Seth, either you do it or we murder you.
I was, uh, on my honeymoon, we went to Peru for my honeymoon,
and Alexi and I were on a hike with a guide in Peru,
and, like, no one on the trail,
and all of a sudden another
guide came in another direction with two men behind him and as they passed I went, Zach?
And it was Zac Efron and his dad.
Wow.
And then we went back to the hotel and there were like a hundred Peruvian girls standing
outside the hotel just like lining up and I'm walking with me and Alexi and I just say to Alexi
because they're all holding like high school musical things and I walk by and
like literally nobody even blinks and I go I guess they don't get SNL in Peru
and our guide goes no we have it. He is a real sweet guy. They're just not sexually attracted to you is what I'm saying. Yeah, no, I got it, guide.
Because I think they recognize you. It was just there is no, what is, is spark.
They, how you say, find your body repulsive.
I think you were too old and unattractive.
How you say. They started doing how you say in Peru.
Yeah, I know, I'm way off base.
Where's Peru again?
It's in France, right?
All right, what else we got?
Wait, I have something.
We have a voice note that I haven't heard yet and I just realized I wanted to do it
at the top of the show.
But are the Quatos, they watch through the whole thing.
They listen to the whole thing, right?
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just not the Queen Bee ones that turn off.
The true members of Quaid Army, they better be.
Should we play it? I have it here.
Yeah, so set it up a little bit for us.
Well, I don't know what it is, except for it's from Quaid-O number one,
the only double Quaid we have so far.
We don't know what Dennis and Randy are up to.
Right.
But Jack Quaid, who we've been talking,
we've been doing a lot of Andy calling out Jack Quaid,
because he said he sometimes would get freaked out in his voice
note to us about hearing Quaid and going, is someone talking to me? Because his friends call him Quaid or Quaid, because he said he sometimes would get freaked out in his voice note to us about hearing Quaid
and going is someone talking to me
because his friends call him Quaid or Quado.
And so Andy's been doing a lot of random,
Quado, what you cooking?
Because he said he was listening in his apartment.
And we also did a fair amount of conjecture into-
What he was making.
The music of Jerry Lee Lewis though as well.
Whether or not he had like young roommates.
Yeah, there's been a lot of speculation about that a lot of speculation without any research has been
Yeah, and so he has been listening I guess and here we go. Hey guys, Jack Quaid here yet again
I'm in my kitchen making mac and cheese for breakfast
The callouts are becoming more frequent
occasionally more aggressive
But I love them all my life is a nightmare. I wanted
to touch really quickly on Great Balls of Fire which you guys touched on.
Larry Pink, Akiva was like what's the significance of this in your life?
Actually pretty significant. I don't know if my parents ever had that
conversation of like hey you know that song's in two of our movies but if they
did and I was alive I was probably in the other room playing
Crash Bandicoot and not paying attention.
But Great Balls of Fire was a song that my dad, he had this piano in their
bedroom when I was growing up and he would just constantly be playing it
because he learned it for the movie.
So the soundtrack to my childhood is just in the distance Dennis Quaid going, you shook my nerves and you ran on my brain. And because
of that, I wanted to learn how to play piano and I learned, I learned guitar. My dad had
a band for years. I think he kind of became kind of musical after that. And I actually
named the band when I was like eight years old.
He was like, Jack, quick, name our band.
And I said, the Sharks, because I was really
into sharks as a kid.
Anyway, I'm giving you a lot of details,
but basically the moral of the story
is if you want to have another band besides the Lonely Island,
I don't know why you ever would, but just corner your children,
catch them off guard, and go, quick, OUR BAND! Maybe something will come to this.
Alright guys, thank you again for letting me do this. Quaid Army for life.
Take care. Righteous kill. Oh my god, Quaid-o. Bless you. That delivered.
Can I just say something? Podcasts are great. Whoa! Hey, full circle. Thank you.
Quaid-o got you to finally change your mind. Just for the... I mean, I hate them. Don't get me wrong.
Yeah, but they're great.
It would have been great if, when he said name our band,
he said, the Bacon Brothers.
He's like, no!
It's so confusing.
Also, it is interesting that, you know,
his dad was playing Great Balls of Fire,
and that made Quedo want to learn,
which is very similar to what happened with Goose and Rooster,
which is why that song was in both. That's right. Yeah. Jackie's Rooster. He's a real Rooster.

All right. The last thing we should do is I should play Guys in Sunglasses Looking Dope.
Yeah.
Yeah, let's watch it.
Let's check it out.
This was a digital short we made the week with Zac Efron and it did not air.
So, I mean, you really got double burned then.
Do you think maybe Lauren didn't watch Balcony because he was mad about this?
It's very possible.
I guess we're about to find out.
Yeah.
I gotta say, I loved this one.
This one is short but sweet, but I remember thinking this shouldn't air and the other
one should.
Very clearly.
Guys in sunglasses looking dope.
First up we have Bob.
I mean, I already love it.
I mean, dude, I love this one.
It's immediately pretty good, yeah.
So it was a title card that was very early 90s, late 80s, I'd say.
So whack.
It's beyond like...
Yeah, two bad fonts, guys in sunglasses looking dope, like over a beach with some Oakleys.
Now it's cut to obvious green screen of a construction site with Forte with a mesh tank
top so you see his whole chest, some ripped jeans, a tool belt, and then it's kind of
loosely hammering on something like an, like an AV cart,
essentially. It's also, it's a bad construction site too. It's like he's just in front of a trash
can. Yeah. He seems like a little doing it like vacant, like brain dead with some white glass.
First up we have Bob. Bob is slowly painting up his body. 71 pounds and all man. Hammering on
nothing. Bob's wearing a pair of white Ray Bans Look at dope Bob
Now
Take a look at this sporty guy ladies. This is Sean Sean is wearing some snazzy jean shorts and a mean bear
sunglasses
Hey Sean wait a snake
They're all doing like like just two guys for Jane and Horson level like yeah
we're this like as if they were plucked out of a
Mall in Ohio and yeah
Placed here and said just look cool. Also hater hater putting so much stank on the word dope
It's really also Sadega is really underplaying it in a wonderful way. Just small blinks
Really sad. Yeah right down the middle easy peasy. Yeah
Just really sad. Right down the middle. Easy peasy. Uh oh, who's this little guy? Why, it's Hank!
Okay, so it's Fred and he's in a house and he's hiding behind a hat rack that has some clothes, you know, a jacket hanging on it.
This one's shy.
And he's shy and he's hanging out behind it.
Hank is wearing a pair of black sunglasses.
Don't be shy, Hank. You look dope.
Every time the camera flashes after he says it,
the word dope appears on screen in the freeze frame.
Also, when the camera flash happens, it freezes Fred,
and he's not... It's a bad freeze. His eyes are half open.
Yeah, it's always bad.
It's a bad freeze. It's not even the right freeze.
He doesn't look good. He's in a leather vest,
and no undershirt, by the way.
Okay, now it's coming to Andy here, and I just want to say
he's a house painter,
but we're out on another construction site right away.
And here we have, whoa, no sunglasses?
Not dope, pal.
You need to take a hike.
Wow.
Okay, big cross out.
Oh yeah, that's more like it.
Bobby as kind of an Indiana Jones explorer type,
super awkwardly confused where he is.
The vest is open in the front, no undershirt, so just full chest
and belly out and a whip.
Watch out ladies.
Here comes Josh.
Josh is ready for adventure wearing a sporty pair of cargo shorts and matching
vest. I don't need a compass to tell which way is dope.
Look at dope, Josh.
Oh, look at this jokester. He's at the pool.
Say, quit horsing around.
He's a jokester because he's got a pair of novelty, like, ginormous sunglasses on.
It's Zac Efron. He was too handsome, so we put a bunch of body hair on his shoulders to make it
look like he had just like Robin Williams level shoulder hair.
Also, a wig that makes it be like, is this Teen Wolf?
Yeah, it's very...
It's early Teen Wolf.
Yes, a gross wig.
Sideburns and Ashen Wasp jeans.
Cool tattoo, yeah.
Lower back tattoo.
Oh yeah!
With that horseshoe tattoo on his lower back,
he'll be your lucky charm.
Look at dope, Paul.
This has been Guys in Sung charm. Look at dope, Paul. This has been Guys in Sunglasses.
Look at dope.
Yeah, and when he dipped his fucking sunglasses
and we saw the blue of his eyes,
we were like, oh, put him back on!
So you're due hits for this joke.
I mean, it's clearly that the show had too much stuff in it.
Like, Couple of Homies aired.
Yeah, that's way better than A Couple of Homies.
This easily could have aired a different week.
Yes.
But it's not like our best.
I do believe Lorne didn't like it so much
that he punished you with balcony songs.
Lockdown.
We should probably send it to him
and see what his actual thoughts were.
They could still air both of these.
They could still air.
Maybe we just resubmit.
Not even resubmit to the table, resubmit to the control room.
It is interesting because it doesn't have that next move.
No.
What do you mean?
Why is it shy guy?
It has a little tiny.
It's got twists and turns.
It's got twists and turns.
It has a few moves.
It has a little tiny, yeah.
And they're not big S like curves,
it's more like a little squiggly eye.
Still made me laugh pretty hard.
If you know what it is, then I think it delivers.
If you're waiting for something else, then it doesn't.
Can I have 30 seconds in Seth's Corner?
This is Seth's Corner at the end of the show.
Seth is gonna take it away
and talk about what he did that week.
Oh, Seth.
There was a high school musical sketch
where he went back and gave a,
he was a graduate and he came back
and basically gave a speech
about how nobody sings outside this high school.
And like, if you break into song,
people are gonna just wail on you.
Oh.
I'm here to talk about what happens after you leave East High.
Do you think this is a good idea, Troy?
Back off. Okay.
Here's the deal.
No one sings at college.
What? What? What?
And from what I can tell,
this is America's only singing high school.
I've watched that in the last two years, Seth,
because my kids got so into High School Musical, all
three of them, that they started just wanting to know what else he had done. I was like,
well, he hosted some of the times I was there. And so we would go on YouTube and pull up
sketches and especially ones that relate to High School Musical, of which we also wrote
one at some point when the third movie was coming out. Is that in here somewhere too?
No, it might've been a, did he host twice? Or maybe it was for a different house?
Yeah, I don't know. Might've been a different host. Did you play him neighbors and all that sort of stuff too? No, it might've been a city host twice. Or maybe it was for a different house. Yeah, I don't know.
Might've been a different host.
Did you play him neighbors and all that sort of stuff too?
No, neighbors is rated R, right?
Yeah.
Well, and we're in neighbors for a second
and Liz is in neighbors a lot.
So their parents are also in neighbors.
Oh yeah.
But no.
I was supposed to be in neighbors too playing Hitler,
but I got cut out.
Your go-to role.
Yeah, you've played Hitler a lot.
I know, I know, my go-to role, yeah.
Can I just jump into this rundown? Yeah, please. Since we're calling it pretty soon. I was in I know. My go-to room, yeah. Can I just jump into this rundown? Yeah, please.
Since we're calling it pretty soon.
I was in a sketch, I don't remember exactly the premise,
called Cool Bar. I'm pretty sure I was in that.
Yeah.
It says it's written by Klein and Mintz.
I think it was a Dan Mintz guest writing.
Oh, yeah, Dan Mintz, a very funny guy who guest wrote.
Yeah, Mintz is hilarious.
This is, I believe, where it's like they let such young people into this bar and there's
like little kids and babies in the bar.
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
Super fun, super fun times.
And then the one that really stands out to me running through this is I Am Your Mother,
written by Fred Armisen only.
My kids have watched that one a bunch.
Found it, they found it because of Efron, but then they've watched it more times because they like it.
Is it a pizza rolls commercial?
It's a commercial where Fred's playing the mom
and he can't do it.
He can't say the line casually.
The line in a pizza roll commercial
is him saying, I am your mother.
Yeah, but instead he keeps going, I'm your mother!
I'm your mother! I'm your mother!
What do they say?
It's something that's like a little bit of a goof off on Mom, because it's Efron and
Andy being like, can we have more pizza rolls?
Like, come on, Mom.
And it's like, hey, I'm your mother.
Like, don't talk to me like that.
Yeah, but he says it like...
It really worked up an appetite.
Me too.
I sure could use a snack.
Gino's pizza rolls, they're the best. And now they're made with 20% more real cheese.
Awesome.
Plus, it's way better than what she usually makes.
Hey!
I am your mother!
I am your mother!
I am your mother!
I am your mother! I am your mother! I am your mother! I am your mother! Mother! Laughter Laughter
Laughter
Laughter
Okay, so we're gonna like wanna take it down a little bit there.
Laughter
And I think just Fred, very amenable to the note.
Like didn't fight the note, like got it, got it, got it, got it.
Yeah, yeah.
Of course you did.
Oh, I get it.
Just leaning over the counter, swiping things off the counter.
Classic sketch.
Classic.
Fred, I have the smallest observation
and I will play it out to a thousand.
And then the other thing of note for me
is Yeah Yeah Yeah's musical guest, which was so rad.
So rad.
Maps and Zero.
So that's the first time they were on.
It had to be if they did Maps.
But is Zero from their second album
and then they did Maps as like a popular request?
Or was it a Marcy Ask Them to Do Maps because it's the best known song, like how the Shins
did the Garden State song?
That's what I'm wondering.
Mayhaps, mayhaps be, Keev, mayhaps be.
I remember we went and saw them in New York, Keev.
We saw YAYAYA's one time.
We did.
Fun factoid, Kara and I went to college together.
Get out of town! Didn't really know each other there, but Oh and I went to college together. Get out of town.
Yeah.
Didn't really know each other there, but had mutual friends.
Still very cool.
She's the coolest.
Also, Andy, at another MTV Movie Awards, perhaps the one you hosted,
perhaps not, that we worked at, they did maps.
Yeah.
And so we got to watch them rehearse maps a bunch,
and Spike Jonze did the art direction, and it was really dope.
I don't remember exactly what it was, maybe falling flowers on an LED screen or something,
but it looked amazing.
But there was also like grass
and it was like the whole stage was alive kind of,
it was pretty rad.
Yeah, the whole stage was taken over,
it was really dope.
And yeah, and that was really cool,
getting to see that over and over.
Was it when I hosted?
I think I hosted in 09, which is this season.
I might have been, or yeah, I don't know.
But yeah, but I just know we...
There's those people that you saw that were at those,
that there'd be three musical performances at the Movie Awards,
and you got to watch them rehearse over and over.
And it was...
Before we were at SNL and saw it every week
and became just fucking assholes about it.
I have to go, because apparently these guys
have been waiting to go to dinner with me for an hour.
Who's that, your family?
Who's these guys?
I'm at Company 3, met my producer and okay. Oh, you're in you're in Toronto. Yeah
I'm at company three your company three in Toronto or New York Toronto. There's a company three in Toronto
I used to work for company three in the vault in LA. It's all over the world now, apparently
I think there's one in London. There's yeah, they're owned by Technicolor. Hey company three great color correcting company three
I made it!
Andy would have to work nights in the vault, pre-SNL,
where you stay up all night when things are still on film.
And as the dailies come in, you are
in charge of running them around.
Not like he was touching the film,
but literally in the mail room of the vault,
where you accept them and sign them in and out.
Is that fair to say?
Yeah.
It was a ton of data entry into this super weird old system that's antiquated,
but it was the only thing they used.
You just were entering reels of film that had come in
to make sure that they were all logged and nothing got lost,
so that then you were accountable or not accountable.
Because they wrap shooting at 9 PM and then it comes in at 1 AM,
and then it's got to be in there.
That wasn't one of Andy's jobs.
My first real job in LA.
And the first time we did a big music video where we went and color corrected that company
three, it was a full circle moment for you. I remember being like, this is so awesome
that now I'm the client.
Yeah, felt so good. I was like, could I get a sandwich?
That's what Yoram's doing all the time right now.
Yep. Just like more coffee, more water.
That sounds so Jorm. You know, my friend used to work in the vault, and now I'm getting more coffee.
Jorm's very bad at being big time.
My friend used to work here, more coffee please.
I don't even want it.
Jorm, we're not really promoting your thing yet because it's not,
we don't have a release date or whatever, but he's there mixing the movie that,
the movie he shot in Finland. That's how fast he know, we don't have a release date or whatever, but he's there making the movie that the movie he shot in Finland.
That's how fast he moved compared to me.
His movies already locked and I'm sound mixing at the same time, even though he shot a calendar
year after I will be locked tomorrow.
Yeah, exciting.
It's pretty, pretty crazy.
Pretty fast.
But you guys, if you watch one thing this year, make it Digman on Comedy Central.
Yeah.
And Paramount Plus.
Yeah. And you know what, even Trump can watch it
because there's no political jokes.
He can, he can.
Yeah, I mean, we need them clicks.
Take them clicks.
I bet he doesn't know his Paramount Plus password.
But again, I don't want this pod to get political either.
So anyway.
You think they'd give him a free one,
like Paola to try to get, to try to nudge the deal ahead? Do you think, yeah, do you them a free one like Paola to try to get
Do you think do you think redstone was like how many you want to yeah that way
Melania won't fuck up your your likes your algorithm
Alright, I love you guys. Love you, dude. I love you too. So love you guys. Wait, do you remember your tag? I remember the words. I don't know if I remember how to say it. Later, Quades.
That's really good.
Close enough. Pretty solid.
Later, Quades.
But wait, I took what you did, Keev, and I have a version.
Can we play that real quick?
Okay.
Later, Quades.
Oh, wow.
Oh!
That's legit. That's legit.
He was on your show this week, right?
Yeah! He was on my show this week, right? Yeah!
Is that for real?
He was on my show.
Oh, wow, we made it!
Wow.
He was on my show, so I had him on my show for two acts.
Wow.
Oh my God, that's fantastic.
And so you do the first half of the interview
and then you do a promo where you're like,
hey, I'm Seth Meyers and tonight on the Shores,
and then it usually goes right into the next act.
And I go, can we hold for a second? And I was like, hey, we got this podcast,
and we call the people who listen to it, Quaid Army,
and would you just say later, Quaid?
And he's like, I always say it, which camera?
I'm like, it's just audio. He's like, later, Quaid.
Fuck, yes.
And then he goes, I hope I will make so much money from this.
ALL LAUGH
Well, he will not.
Well, we don't, so you won't. Legitimately let's end every episode after we say
goodbye with Arnold Schwarzenegger saying later quakes. That's fucking great. I mean it's a real
devil's bargain because we lose Akiva saying it in his really neat way but I do think maybe.
Well maybe we spice it up and sometimes it's that you know like our opening themes always change,
who knows. We'll see if people know the difference.
Yeah.
I put a lot of thought into do I want him to say like, this is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I was like, I'm going to try to give him the easiest as possible.
But the one other thing I will tell you, the funniest thing, which I want everybody to
do, I showed him an art card on TV of you as Quado.
Really?
Yeah.
And he did the funniest thing, which is I held it up and he goes,
there he is, and he pointed,
like as if the question was gonna be,
do you know which one of these is Quado?
Like you were in total recall,
so let me do a little quiz.
Who in this picture is the Quado?
He's the one in the stomach.
Yeah.
Fuck, that's great.
Did he say my name at any point?
Did he go like Andy Samberg?
No, I don't think so.
Fuck.
But he was awesome.
I will say this, you kind of can't believe.
When I think about the amount of sleepover hours
I spent watching that guy in movies.
Well, you guys, back to Hitler,
you know I got to fight him in Kung Fury.
I got to fight him because he was playing
the president of the United States,
so we had like a fight scene.
If you watch the leaked Kung Fury 10-minute sizzle reel
right now, you can see a little bit of Jorm, right?
There's a little bit of you as Hitler and him
in the fighting, right?
So you see the president and Hitler fighting,
and it's Arnold and Jorm.
Great.
All right, so we'll play it one more time at the end.
All right.
After I say the thing that I need you all to hear.
I love you guys.
Love you, buddies.
Love you, too, Seth.
Later, Quades!
Fuck, it's pretty great.
