Or it comes from Wild Alaskan Company.
You ever stand in the seafood aisle and think,
Wait, do I actually trust this fish?
Or is this fish lying to me?
That used to be me.
Total Fish Paranoia until I found Wild Alaskan Company.
Wild Alaskan Company delivers wild caught nutrient-dense seafood right to your door.
It's perfectly portioned, it's fresh,
and honestly, it tastes way better than the mystery filet that's been staring at you
from behind the glass at the grocery store.
Soggy salmon is my MVP.
It's rich, flavorful, and makes me feel like I'm eating the healthiest thing on earth.
Wow, thanks for that testimonial.
It makes sense because it's all 100% wild caught, never farmed,
which means no antibiotics, GMOs, or weird additives.
Just real clean fish.
Yep, that's right.
They freeze it right off the boat to lock in the flavor, the nutrients, and you know what else?
There are lots of omega-3s.
locked in. And because it's
sustainably sourced from Alaska,
every box supports healthy
oceans, fishing communities, and
your membership comes with flexible shipments,
cooking tips, and zero guilt
about dinner. Do you have guilt about dinner?
Not while I'm eating these fish.
That's the right answer.
You have something you need to say? Yeah,
I'd like you guys to try and say,
sustainably source three times.
Go.
Substantily sourced,
sustainally forced, sustainally
source.
That was a big fail.
Sustainably sourced.
Sustainably sourced.
Sustainably sourced.
Not all fish are the same.
Get seafood you can trust.

The Lonely Island
and Seth Myers
Podcast show
All right I'm recording
From the look of Seth's
From the look of his
This is not where he normally is
He's suddenly in kind of a dark, sad cave
And I'd love not to talk about where I am
Just trying to keep on the down low right now
Where I am
Where I'm going to be
You know, that's not important.
It's not really important where we are.
It's not really important where we are, what we're doing.
Do you have a drink, Seth?
It looks like you'd have a drink.
I might have a drink.
But I want to also welcome everybody to the Lonely Island Seth Myers podcast,
and we have a special guest with us.
Hi, Kenan.
Hi, everybody.
Kenan Thompson.
I need a cowbell.
I need the big boy in the morning cowbell right now.
So bad.
Well, I'm keeping it.
I'm doing it.
I'm shaking my vest that I got in there.
Nice.
Oh, that's the highest honor.
They always say when you're about to do a podcast, put on your loudest vest.
One of the Quaid Army made this for me.
Quaid Army made a Quaid Army vest for Yorma that he's currently wearing in a hospital bed.
Oh, my God.
Can you tilt your camera down?
Okay, right, fine, fine.
There we got.
Yeah, Quaid Army.
Says Quaid Army.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
They wanted me to wear it on the podcast, I think, because it was a loud vest.
Yeah.
It's got a bunch of trash bags attached to it as well, which I thought was funny.
Oh, because you're other vest.
Yeah, referencing my other vest.
And there's no anthrax on it.
Oh, definitely not.
I feel great.
Keenan, there'd be too much to stop and explain it to you.
It's just nonsense.
Yeah, you got to listen from the beginning, bro.
But I will say, and Keenan, I'm very cognizant of how busy you are,
and I want to make sure we don't waste your time,
but I want to say one vest-related thing.
So, first of all, Yorne bought a vest.
Everybody said it was ugly, and then we shamed him for his vest.
And then also recently, Keenan, hopefully you're up to say,
speed, Yorm fell off a ladder.
One of our listeners wrote in and basically
had a theory, and their theory was
had Yorm been wearing his
vest, do you think it was possible
that when he fell off the ladder,
it would have served as a parachute?
And do you now
all feel a little bit responsible because
you shamed him into not wearing
a vest that could have saved his pelvis?
I could sue you guys for
peer-pressuring me out of my
parachute vest. Oh, man. Because it
did look like it did look like it could perish
you that last vest. I agree.
I fully agree.
Number one, I'm not caught up yet because you guys
have a fucking archive going.
So I think I'm on like
Laser Cats 1, honestly.
Honestly, that's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
I'm catching up, but I have a ways to go.
And Yoram, I'm sorry, man.
What did you break your pelvis? What happened?
Pelves, sacrum.
Pelvis was detached from spine.
I mess that up.
I'm sorry.
That's for.
corrections. It was not my sacrum. It was my pelvis that was detached from my spine. Gotcha.
He's giving it to you very casually because he's on a lot of drugs and he's in the hospital,
but it was horrific. Oh, man, I'm so sorry. Yeah, I'm no, I'm genuinely, I think lucky to be live.
And my PT guy, just, my guy, Michael, just confirmed that for me because he was like, oh, yeah,
yeah, you got real lucky. You should be paralyzed. Oh, man. You're not. So yeah, I'm good.
He did, you know, I do want to make sure we inform you that he was on the ladder
trying to save kids from a fire.
No way, he was hanging lights.
Yeah, no doubt.
First of all, the lights that I was hanging, Keenan, are super charming.
I will send you a picture.
And then you can decide whether it was worth it or not, okay?
Yorm's basically the manic pixie girl of his own life.
By the way, when he hit the ground, his pelvis went, oh, Lord, mercy.
I'm a pelvis
I'm never going to rock again
Hey Andy Sandberg
You're here auditioning for Elvis's pelvis
Oh yeah
I'm gonna fall off the letter
Hey man
A letter over there
A three
A two
A one thing
Oh Lord of Marcy
I have been reading for the role
of Yorma's P Elvis
I don't know what this bit is
Yeah what's the P stand for
I don't know a keyboard, my old friend.
Little known fact, Elvis's pelvis was very famous,
and one time he went on the Ed Sullivan show
and was thrusting it back and forth.
And do you know they framed the shot above his waist
so at home you wouldn't see the thrusts?
I like the history, Elizabeth.
Yeah.
Hey, Kenan.
Andy has a bit.
His bit is when you audition for a rock and roll biopic,
and you come in and you have to do,
you have to sing like somebody.
and then the bit is a little a few lines into the song
you realize you're not going to get the part
and you just apologize and leave
so who do you want to do Keenan
who's somebody you can sing a couple lines for
because I'm going to make you do the bet
I'm going to name people you've done on the show
do you want to do Barry White
do you want to do
Bob Dylan
or one that's already been made
like it could be like Kenan Thompson reading for Ray
yeah do you want to redo that
oh that's pretty funny
okay so but again once you just
once you start singing you immediately realize
it's definitely going to be Jamie Fox
Yeah, no doubt.
Hey, welcome.
It's great to see you, Kenan.
We're huge fans.
Thank you, man.
Yeah, just to remind everybody,
Kenan Thompson, and I'm here reading for the part of Ray Charles.
All right.
We're very excited.
Whenever you're ready, Kenan.
You know what?
I think I agree.
I'm just going to go.
Yeah.
That's perfect.
This speaks to a thing that anyone who's ever worded with Keenan would say,
no one needed less direction than Keenan
like before a table read
like there were certain actors in our
and Golden era who it was worth it
to really go through it with them
line by line because they had a real precision
and they wanted to know exactly what you wanted
you go up to Keenan like two seconds before the sketch
started you'd be like oh by the way I forgot
you're playing this this and you talk like this
and he's like yeah all right
just said and would nail it
never gonna drop the ball
when it's past you know
it's talking having a good time
all right two worlds collide is
maybe my favorite digital short.
Oh, my God. I would have been
perfectly happy of this one at all.
It's so dense
and so wonderful, and
I don't know where to begin,
but I guess maybe I'll just, since
we have you, Keenan, how do you remember
it was brought to you the first time?
Well, I mean, Andy came and it was like,
hey, we want to, like, redo
that thing you tried last week, because
I had tried the Reba thing as
just like a straight-up sketch, like a commercial
parody, because I
saw her do like the American Eagle ad or something to try to protect American bald eagles.
And I just was recreating that with a...
Oh, my God.
Sorry to interrupt.
When you said American Eagle, I thought you were talking about the jeans.
Yeah.
The Sydney, Sweeney.
And I was like, oh, my God.
Riba has good jeans.
Oh, that's some good clickbait.
And, yeah, that was kind of how it went, because that didn't make sense at all because I didn't
explain why I was pretending to be Riba.
That's why we loved it.
It's so fucking good, though.
So that was your idea, and then you wrote that with Spivey, if I recall correctly, right?
Yeah, I think so.
Now, we asked Spivey for a voice note, and so...
And just real quick, again, this was, Keenan was playing Reba with no commentary.
Right.
Like, there was never a reason why it was Keenan playing Reba in the sketch before this week.
And so here's Spivey, I think, explaining a little bit of it.
Keenan, we'll cut it if she's being weird.
She did say you've had a falling out, and she's...
wants to air out those grievances.
Hi, guys.
This is Spivey.
How's everybody doing?
Everybody good?
Yeah, we're good.
Thanks.
Thanks, I'm sorry.
Let's see, Reba.
I remember sitting with Keenan and we were just goofing around and he was doing his
impression of Reba McIntyre, which was basically just him going, I'm Reba.
And then making this like persnickety, yes, sad kind of face.
And I was dying.
We were both dying, laughing.
And I said, what if we wrote a sketch where you played Reba McIntyre just in like a red wig?
And all you basically say is, I'm Reba.
And then make that face.
But it's a commercial set.
So it's you playing Reba.
And Reba's doing a commercial for Fiddle Faddle, which is that butter,
toffee popcorn treat called Fiddle Faddle.
So she that was it right and she does the whole commercial reba and just keep saying i'm reba but nobody on set acknowledges the fact that reba is a handsome young black man in a red wig like everyone's just oblivious to it i think that was the original joke and it did go to the table but it didn't make it in but it did okay and then yorma came
I think it was Yorma that came up to me later in the week and was like, oh, my God, that Reba thing.
And I was like, yeah, we had fun right now.
And then he was like, would you care if we did it, made it a digital short?
And I was like, are you kidding me?
I'd be friggin thrilled, you little stud.
Anyway.
Yeah, so that's the story.
Kiki probably has, maybe he remembers better than I do, but that's how I remember it.
Sweet, genius, Keenan.
All right, love you guys.
Oh, man, do I love hearing her voice.
I like her assuming that I would remember anything.
Yeah, I was just, I've been saying lately, like, we have such awesome, like, big sisters in the game.
Oh, yeah.
Like, our big sisters are heavy fucking hitters, man.
Yeah, my God, that is true beyond words, yes.
But, yeah, I remember, I thought we did, like, a full dress rehearsal that tanked or something like that.
But maybe I'm remembering it to what we shot.
I think that happened.
I just know that we were obsessed with it.
I agree, Andy.
I think we blocked it.
Yeah.
I remember having a shot.
I also like, based on what the sketch was,
that you guys saw Keenan as Reba
and the failure to acknowledge
that it was strange casting
as the nut of what was going to be great
in the digital short.
I think we debated whether or not to ever explain it
even within the song.
Yeah, yeah, like whether it needed any explanation.
Because it was our favorite part
was that it was not explained.
then we do end up explaining it.
Yes, but once we started diving into the writing of it,
the idea of doing basically a Roshaman.
It is Roshaman.
In song form was making us laugh so hard.
It's, again, one of those digital shorts that move so quickly.
Like 40 seconds in, so many things have happened.
And you kind of can't, you kind of can't believe.
What are the famous, I'm not going to remember them off top of my head,
but I feel like it was a genre that they don't do that often anymore.
Like, it's not Jaurul and Ashanti necessarily.
It's more when it's people from different genres of music collabing, and there's a feeling of, you know, it's not necessarily the Jay-Z Lincoln Park stuff, but the feeling of like, here it is, everybody, the two, you know, it's Aerosmith and, and Rund DMC a little bit of the two worlds colliding. You've been waiting for this. Like, you didn't think it was possible that these two titans, you know, Bono and, you know, that these two icons together.
in a Bonnie and Clyde situation
are creating music
that's just going to blow up
not just the rock charts
but all the different pop charts
and public enemy anthrax
that was one, right?
Well, there's the whole
Judgment Night soundtrack.
Yes.
Those are all clavos.
That's a little different
than what keeps describing,
but it does bear mentioning.
But then the great thing about it as well
is Andy
introduces this idea
and Keenan's playing Riva
and Andy's playing Andy.
So it's also really funny
that immediately
like the first premise
is that Andy's a titan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you're playing it
with that out of it.
Already was making us laugh
so hard to be like
what if we were acting like
Top of the world.
Yeah.
And of course,
Reba in quotes,
would agree with all that.
Because they're both acting like
this is what you've been waiting for.
It's the last thing anyone's been waiting for.
A comedy prince.
Why not?
I don't know who the fuck this is.
And you're so sure
that it's what we've been waiting for.
You literally can't wait to tell us the news.
Yeah.
That's what I mean.
And that's where we started for a while,
like before we really got deep into the song
and realized maybe there were some turns to be had.
But we were building just off those first few lines, I feel like.
I also, again, every time I revisit one of these,
and again, I've seen them a hundred times.
I'm still in my head like,
I bet it's probably like 20 seconds in where you see Riva.
And it might be like three.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we got to, we're going to do a rewatch.
A lot of times on the ones we haven't seen.
we then collectively watch it together so we can discuss.
Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Myers podcast comes from Airbnb.
I stayed at an Airbnb once with my family in Pittsburgh.
That's where my dad's from.
We go back once a year.
And it was incredible.
They had pictures of all the famous people, beautiful black and white photos of famous people from Pittsburgh.
And my favorite thing about the weekend was looking at Mr. Rogers next to Wiz Khalifa.
The thing I love about Airbnb is how it turns traveling to something more personal.
you're not just visiting a city, you're staying in a space that feels unique and lived in,
and that makes the whole experience more memorable. And that's the other side of it, too.
Your place gives someone else that same feeling. While you're away, your home doesn't have to sit
empty. Hosting on Airbnb means someone gets a welcoming spot to stay, and you get the benefit of
putting your space to good use. I love trips who have stayed at Airbnb, and sometimes I come home
wanting to add touches that I saw in other people's homes because they brought character to a living
space that I was envious of.
Your home could be worth more than you think.

Support comes from Factor.
Hey, Yorm.
Hi, Keeve.
Fall always feels like a reset.
Tell me, Yoram, where's the lie in that sentence?
You can't find one.
I beseech you to find the lie.
Nope, fall always feels like a reset, right, Andy?
I know you're not recording, but I can see you there.
You can nod.
You nodded.

leaves. Oh, the buttery browns. In all that craziness, wouldn't it be nice to just have
prepped meals that you could just eat? I know that'd be great for me. Oh, here's Liz. Liz,
Just off the top of your head, would you agree with this statement?
Summer is relaxing.
Fall, it gets hectic.

Should you just start us off, Keeve, with the rewatch?
Yeah, I can do that.
But what else?
Is there anything else we need to know before we start?
For the setup?
No, it's pretty loose bones, man.
but it's loose bones as an idea but that it's like the tightest writing because it is a real story
yeah i know it really started to get like built on yeah stream of consciousness meets narrative arc
yeah i want to know where this one got on the top 64 it definitely made the final 16
nice that's pretty big oh spent a long time coming two of the world's greatest
America's sweetheart
I know this isn't the point
but what is this outfit in me?
And my hair sucks.
Yeah, your hair definitely sucks.
I actually remembered being like,
uh-oh,
down the set,
like what happened?
Why do I look like I'm like?
Why is the top of your hair shorter than the size?
I feel like you guys always agree about Andy's hair.
I feel like Annie,
like he was always very good at being like,
no,
he's not going to like that.
Yeah,
but I don't know what happened here.
I mean,
it looks like how like the fourth dude,
in a rock band in the 70s
when they first invented music videos.
Yeah, it's like the bassistee guy.
Who's that guy doing harmonies
in like the way back
with the hair that's all flat
in the middle and fuzzy on the sides?
On the sides.
Yeah, yeah.
It's giving Frank Stallone.
Ooh. Yeah.
And then, I mean, I know skinny ties
were popular at the moment,
but there's something about it
coming with this sparkly tuxedo jacket
and red gloves.
Yeah, the red gloves are killer.
Now, the other thing that, especially now that you know what's coming, the amount, just in the beginning, Keated it is in the back, I'm going,
Uh-uh-ru-ru-ru-ru-huh. Immediately perfect.
We don't know who you're supposed to be yet.
I remember singing it, and you guys were, yeah, no, keep it. It's fine.
And we were right.
Well, we had already seen you do it.
It was a fully formed character.
It's so good.
Although the character just said fiddle faddle and Rieba.
She wasn't singing.
Okay.
America's sweetheart, Miss Rieba McIntyre.
How you doing, Andy?
We're about to take it to the time.
Confirming you are Andy.
You're not a character.
Even though you're dressed insanely.
That's you dressed like that.
It looks like she's having a great time, too.
Into it already.
Also, there's a really.
feel like while we were joking about like the auditioning for Elvis or auditioning for
Ray Charles and knowing you're not going to get it other than who you are and how you look
it's a fantastic Reba like you're dancing exactly the way Reba would dance if she was in a hip-hop
video no it's like it's like Reba having fun it's the thing about watching it is I because
eventually we're going to get to a turn I kind of am with Andy through the first half of
the song where I also believe it's Reba.
It's so crazy.
So you're just like, all right, let's go with it, I guess.
How many seconds into it, are we?
17 seconds right now, but we're deep into, I mean, Riba came in around 10 seconds.
Also, there's five seconds of digital shorts.
Yeah, with a logo.
We're 12 seconds in.
What is this on your person right here?
Can you see what my mouse is looking at?
I feel like it's a brooch of some sort.
Yeah.
It's very low.
Yeah.
A low brooch.
Classic Riba low brooch.
That buckle, maybe.
Oh, it's, oh, it's hanging off of a belt.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's like a chunky buckle.
Hit them, Riba.
Haters in my place trying to keep me down, but you know we keep on shining.
You take the first verse.
Tell them me.
This is catching me off guard right away.
Andy's just setting you up and being like, all right, take it.
And she's right away in just classic Riba language, talking about haters in her face.
You're basically getting a laugh just off the beat dropping, just that it's going to happen.
Yeah, and we're in, all right, we're in some sort of a barn having a hotel.
All right, so you know, she's country.
So we go from Andy's world, which is pop,
right, to Riva's world for her verse.
But you know we keep on shining, here we go.
Two crazy big stars of opposite world,
but to set this track on fire.
Yeah.
Okay, so it's still a version of intro.
Two crazy big stars from opposite worlds.
Deep and voiced Riba anybody has ever done.
Yeah.
But everything so far is this is what, this is how these songs would go.
these cowboys and cowgirls you have
and you're wearing your little crown?
Queen of country.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They're worshipping her at her country throne.
Track on fire.
Yeah.
She's the queen of country.
He's a lot of nothing.
Ha ha!
He's just elated.
Well, it's when we're starting to build up our hatred of Andy.
Like, yeah, it would be great to see what happens to this guy.
He's a comedy prince.
Taking something out of nothing.
I mean, that's kind of what's happening.
I think this freeze frame, this is covering the look, Spivey, was talking about.
Yeah, that's fiddle, faddle face right there.
I really, I'm just saying there's, they're making the Reba movie and the casting.
There's one person in the casting room who's like, I know we're not going to do it.
Oh, my God.
Keenan was the best one.
Yeah, captured her spirit and her essence, which is more.
or what it's about than just superficial things.
Up in the studio to make this song.
But it's usual when we ended up, no doubt.
Goes right past Andy.
Like he doesn't.
Isn't the branded response?
He doesn't think anyone's going to judge it.
No one's going to judge that.
35 seconds in.
And also, as usual, so we've established you guys have just met.
And yet we're also, this is the huge.
Yeah.
That's the baseline for me and Reebs.
Yeah.
The blowing past it with a no doubt is.
Yeah, no doubt.
With a proud, no doubt, as if he just said, like, we end up flexing on everybody.
No doubt.
It basically is saying you didn't hear what you just thought you heard.
No doubt.
Black back to when I first met Reeva.
Sitcom dressing room puffing on Cheever.
I love that.
It's got the Reba logo.
That look, Keaton.
On the door.
So we're really, we're at CBS Radford or somewhere.
That's fucking reaction, Keenan.
Oh.
Something on Chiba.
What?
Andy walks in.
Gini looks over,
smoke a weed,
and just gives this look.
I'm just like,
oh,
oh,
I got a fish on the line.
Yeah.
Andy, you're wearing a Riba shirt.
Clearly a big fan.
Right?
Which I am.
Yep.
The Riba logo
from the sitcoms on the wall.
We got Riba's feather boa
hanging over here.
We know where we are.
Believable Riba dresses
on the rack.
Yeah.
A lot of sequence.
Attention to Diet.
So far, she's still Riva.
Back to when I first met Rieba.
Sitcom, dressing room, puffing on Chiba.
Said I was a fan.
She said Proof it, dropped her denim.
What do we have here?
Oh, well, hello there.
Are you here?
First line says, prove it.
Oh.
Said I was a fan.
She said Proof it, dropped her denim skirt, and said, hop to it.
Oh, no, it's all children.
You want your autograph.
It escalates so fast.
Oh, I just love it.
You never change tones, Andy.
You're just like, y'all, that happened, and then this happened.
It's the retelling.
It's all brats.
Also, I like that Reba's the one who always heightens how dirty it is.
Like, you say you made love, and Reba wants to make sure it's more like we fuck.
Oh, my God.
Oh, hop to it.
A bunch of kids who are trying to get Reba's autograph.
but they're not answering the door
for a lot of obvious reasons.
Not now, kids.
Drop the skirt, said,
oh, jean, that joint hanging out of your mouth.
Terrible.
But them autographs can wait
because this is way too strong.
I can't leave it alone because a fuck is the bomb.
Oh, my God.
What the hell?
Not okay on someone.
Riva.
Now I'm even more confused because, are you Riva?
Reba can't say any of this stuff.
It starts a spiral so
harsh. And Andy's been so respectful about Reba
and now her pussy's the bomb.
Yeah, well, facts is facts.
And then, yeah,
that Reba wants to really hammer that home
and echo it. I think I was always
really proud when we got
lines like that on to S&L
of saying like your pussy's the bomb.
That's not like a usual
thing you hear on us. No, that shouldn't be
on the national broadcasting now.
No.
That kicked down a lot of current doors.
Snuck in an arm, FADs off back, but these end words keep on tripping. So I stay on my grind and drop these heads, because I can't go back to stripping.
Snuck in an arm, Riba.
What was this little cutaway, just being dragged into a bathroom stall to do some?
Yeah, it was just like how many times they've,
Make love.
Yeah.
Yeah,
they can't keep their hands off each other.
But then it's weird.
Now, I've said that Riva keeps me to get dirtier,
but then you say you're my undercover.
What is it?
Freak.
You're my undercover freak.
And then Riva says,
and you're my best friend.
Yeah, she's sweeter now.
Yeah, man.
It's continually pulling the rug out money.
So confusing.
Also, Riba used to strip, I guess.
You're my undercover freak.
And you're my best friend,
but our families don't approve.
That's right, because I'm a city boy.
And I'm a country girl.
and I'll never leave your sweet balls blue.
So it takes a little side to be like a country mouse and city mouse.
Exactly.
Just making it really wholesome.
Also, it is really fun that you guys have referenced back to a sketch nobody saw.
And just had Keenan say, I'm Reba in the middle of the side.
We had to get it in there.
We knew it was her catchphrase.
That's the cashphrase.
When you hear a good catchphrase, you know it.
And her show is called Reba.
Oh, but I love that.
That was like a whole other.
It's funny.
When I see the title of it, I just read Reba.
Yeah.
You're wrong.
Exclamation point.
You're reading it wrong.
You're just flat out mispronouncing it.
The fact that this took a two-line just journey into a lifetime movie, entire plot about the city boy.
They have a fantasy version of themselves that they're letting us know.
And their families don't approve.
So now it's like a real.
Oh, my God.
Are they going to end up together?
Yeah, they're star-crossed lovers.
It's as old as Romeo and Juliet.
You definitely think that that's the story that you're going to be following.
now.
I don't know. I don't know if I've ever seen Lauren laugh more at something we made in our
entire time there not than that moment at dress rehearsal when he, because he didn't know what
we were doing all week, of course. I'm sure he gets whispers of like, oh, they're doing some
Keenan with the Reba. But I've not seen anything. He's watching cold, like usual. And that
line, it just killed as hard
as I've seen anything killed with Lauren.
Yeah.
Is that the first time we admit
we're actually breaking it that
we know that I'm viewed kind of thing?
That is the first moment. That's definitely
the moment. Halfway through. And then we slowly
fill in the rest of the information. You've
recently said your pussy's the bomb.
Right. Right. Well.
Yeah, you're kind of, you're kind of, you know,
changing course on that. It's an incredible
feat of writing that the
turn was admitting the thing we all
knew from the beginning.
Like you actually, you built a willing suspension of disbelief
And then have the main character be like, come on
No, it's the first thing
Yeah
No, it's the first thing
Oh, it's so nice that it's in a side as well
Like maybe Andy didn't hear that
Well, Andy doesn't hear anything
No, nothing changes Andy's at all
By the way, the character Andy
Right
With the one with flat hair on the top
and big poofy hair on side.
Oh, my God.
I got a sense that everyone will just think it's me
because he calls me Andy at the beginning
and I work at S&L.
The Frank Stallone type.
Never considered myself a prince of comedy.
Yeah.
I'm shoulders and a red-ass weed and a penis.
Hot damn she fly.
All she wanted to is fuck me.
I'm a lucky guy, too.
My friends think I should dump her.
They said she's a man who found a wig in a dumpster.
Your friends are smart.
Not reads.
They're just jealous because I'm dating a star.
I'm hanging with the fellas.
Hanging like my nuts.
Word up.
The swing is...
I remember being so happy about the progression of all of those last lines.
All of them.
Just saying, I like my nuts.
That's a second reveal.
It's another reveal that he has nuts, I guess.
We knew about the penis now.
I'm a got to.
But the nuts.
And then, well, because now it seems like...
Your dance move with it is all time.
It's unbelievable.
I feel like right now,
Canaan's character is really trying to tell Andy
and he's just realized, Andy's not going to listen.
Your friends are smart.
Your friends are smart is maybe the line, I think, resonates the most of me.
And then Andy's still going to deny it.
Oh, God.
It's just so funny, if you, like, said to a girl, like, none of my friends think, you're right for me.
And the person says your friends are smart.
No, Reeves, they're just jealous.
Yeah, he's still going to deny it.
I just want to point out one little small thing, though, before we move on.
This is that we're watching on the SNL's YouTube post.
S&L Digital Short.
Two Worlds Collide
featuring Reba McIntyre.
It's one of my favorite names.
That's so, that is not okay.
It's not featuring Rio Macintan.
Maybe you could say featuring Reba.
That's really great.
Star instead of hanging with the fellas.
Hanging like my nuts.
Word up.
They can't believe that I can pull Reba McIntyre.
You said word up too.
Is you funny?
You agree.
You're like, yeah.
They're just liars.
They're just liars.
Not taking in any information.
you are not agreeing.
You're like, yeah, the opposite of what you said.
Well, I mean, the character, Andy, in this situation,
is just so gassed on being with a celeb.
Yeah.
An equally big star.
Equally big.
But from a different world.
Now there's this real great tone shift where who we have been led to believe is Reba
just tells us their story.
Yeah, that's right.
And I like that it goes back to the day of their birth,
which is the other line I think of all the time.
as I came on my mom's butt
I knew I was in the
brainness
I looked in a doctor
and so big
I thought hey brother
I'm going to take this
Another great dance for you
Right
There's a lot to talk about
So feel free to go back
But this is the most
You've ever looked like a Muppet in your whole life
You can picture the puppeteer's hand
Like doing your head with the flop
Poppy Muppet hair on top.
It's a fucking performance for the ages, Keith.
You're strolling to 30 rock dance.
Oh, my God, it makes me laugh.
Can I ask Yorma, is ever since I came out my mom's butt a Yorm line?
No, I don't know where that came from.
I'm still bad at guessing who wrote which line.
It's either Kee for Yom.
I think it might have been me, guys.
Yeah, I think it was Keith.
My mom was butt.
I knew I was Destin for greatness.
So now we've switched.
We now are getting the backstory.
This is the Roshabon.
Yeah.
I love this first shot sitting on a hay bale all alone.
Yeah, it's majestic.
Looking up at a pool of moonlight, I assume, above you, just remembering the past.
And no, I really like that there's no moment where Andy feels embarrassed or Kenan feels ashamed of what he's done.
Everything here is just, like, real positive.
That's right.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, everyone's getting what they want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, there is a thing that's another layer of it that's weird, which is, I'm playing me.
Then we see Keenan, who is clearly Keenan, but he's playing a crazy man.
I mean, crazy is a loaded word, but you know what I mean?
He's like a guy wandering around digging a wigs out of dumpsters.
Yeah.
That's pretty crazy.
Is this the greatness he was destined for?
He goes straight from my, I knew I was done for greatness.
I looked in a dumpster.
Such a hard turn from greatness to digging a dumpster.
Also, he kind of looks around like you're not allowed to take a wig out of a dumpster.
He just can't believe he's found such a treasure.
He's like, somebody's going to miss this.
Do you guys know that this was in here?
Is this okay?
So I put it right on and took a stroll right over to 30 Rock.
I saw Andy Sandberg and he thought of the reason.
Case there's any confusion, it's your full name and we're at 30 Rock in front of the NBC sign.
Like, Andy, your performance are walking up
And just like, just so earnestly stupid
Just like, oh my God, you're Reba McIntyre.
Like, just like dumb as opposed.
Wait, let's check out if your hair is Andy here again.
Hold on.
I got to get to the shot of you.
You're from the front.
It's still not very Andy, though.
You still were like comb it all forward in a weird way.
I was dealing with a bad haircut.
It's my one big regret about Reba.
Yeah.
The short.
I believe this is your clothes, though, not wardrobe.
but maybe it is.
Yeah, I think that is.
I feel like I recognize the yellow shirt.
Those are your close.
So this is really you, just to be clear.
Yeah, but, you know, this is the character,
Kenan was playing's perspective on what happened,
different from meeting backstage at the Riba show.
Yeah, the eye contact is just like real strong right there.
Holy shit, Reba McIntyre.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I saw En-N-Semberg and he thought I was Riva,
and I made them suck my dirty.
And fucking him reiterating SNL is just like, Jesus.
So excited.
30 Rock.
S&L.
An incredible amount of restraint that you guys were, you know, three or four years into your time before you rhyme 30 Rock with Dirty Cock.
Thank you.
Restraint.
You got to build to that kind of thing.
The audience was ready.
You got to earn that.
How do they respond?
Let's listen.
How does the audience respond to that?
Reba, and I made him suck my dirty
Bres.
Two worlds collide,
we the new body and glide.
From haystacks to Maybacks,
our love will survive.
For Reba, I'll ride
till the day that we die.
I'm Reba.
There's that one sad,
there's that one kind of, like,
really pathetic shot of leading Andy away,
and it seems like you're, like,
Lenny from Mice and Men.
Yeah.
You're putting a handouts back, like,
over here.
Yeah, he's taken him behind the barn to put a bull in his head.
And do we think the look back is the character, Andy, realizing that it's kind of a little stronger than Riva might be?
Yeah, there's something.
Yeah, there's nothing.
It's not going to stop him, but he's a little like, whoa, that's a little...
Like, from what I know of Riba, and I know a lot, as has been established, a big fan.
That feels like a firm big hand on my back.
Also, Riva real pushy.
Yeah. Like, you're not the aggressor in this flirtation.
Yeah, we need to go somewhere alone right now.
On the dance move, too, I get whiffed a little bit there.
Yeah, you're a little, you're getting spun.
Yeah.
You're like, whoa.
Getting yanked back.
So, yeah.
Oh, man.
Wow.
I like hearing that that was one of the tops for you, Seth.
I love it so much.
It's perfect.
Everything about it's perfect.
And then maybe my favorite thing about it is that Reba loved it.
Yes, that was thrilling.
Keenan then dressed as Reba and appeared on stage with Reba
at the Country Music Awards.
Yeah, CMAs.
And I just have always adored that about Reba that she saw that and was like,
well, heck, ain't that a good time?
She was like, yes, please.
It is literally the craziest impression, I think, on the planet.
It is such a stretch, such a stretch.
Wait, how was she at the CMA?
Is like, was that a fun?
He was great.
Like, she worked with me, like, she was arm and arm with me.
she was showing me around backstage to like very conservative type people you know
one of the country singer dudes i forget his name but he's like six foot nine or something
like was something something um but he was like oh yeah that's that's pretty funny look at that
you got to do something funny oh my god these pictures of me back to back with her
yeah and these emerald gowns what a what a treat
that she was so cool about it and so...
That's great, yeah.
She was so cool about it, yeah.
And did you go in and write what you guys did for the presenting,
or was it something...
How did it come about?
I think they just called and were like,
we want you to just do a presenting this thing with Reba real quick,
and I don't think I did much of the writing necessarily
because it was pretty straightforward what the joke was.
I'm sure it was a lot of Reba being like,
now hold on there, I'm Reba.
Yeah, man, wait a minute, who's really...
You can't tell.
So it wasn't right away because the short, the week we're on on the show I'm looking here was November 21st, 2009, and the CMT Music Awards at the Bridgestone Arena were June 9th, 2010.
So it stuck with her.
She was like, I know what I'm going to do.
We're like seven months later.
Yeah, it echoed pretty strong because it was just the crazy thing ever.
I remember Ariana Grande was like when I first like really spent time with her, she was like, I love that Riba sketch.
bless her heart
that's amazing
thank you guys those laughs
because man what a blast
from the past that was
that was a treat to revisit
going on again about
Lauren's laugh
afterwards the love I got from
Lauren for the whole thing
was I think the most
of any short we ever did
like at the after party
coming up being like that one
and even and I think same goes
for people like Higgins and stuff
people that don't give it up that easily
were giving it up in a way
that they did not give it up for,
as I mentioned on the I'm in a boat episode
where it was kind of like,
oh, yeah, nice work.
This was like a, no, no, no, this is the one.
This is the funniest one.
Wow.
And that probably includes you, Seth, honestly,
because you loved it.
Well, it's, it's, first of all, it's a banger.
It's super catchy.
It's a great song.
There's so much comedy as well
that never gets in the way
of how good the music is.
Sure.
And you just, I don't know,
it just want to listen to it.
It's also, I'm going to say it,
not to make you uncomfortable,
Keenan, but it's the power of Keenan.
Yeah.
I think it's the only time that you are, like, fully front and center in one of our shorts in that way, and your power is great.
Oh, man.
Thank you, man.
Yes.
It wouldn't be nothing if you guys didn't pick it up off the fucking floor, because that should be.
This is a line.
I'm looking at the Reba for American Eagle sketch.
Oh, oh, I see.
Here's a line.
Please join me in the fight to save the American bald eagle.
You know, I'm married to a bald beagle, my husband, because he's a.
dog and then
Ryan Reynolds said
Reeve I'm sorry on these next ones
can you just stick to what's on the cards
she had just volunteered that
she was riffing she was riffing
in a PSA for the American
bald eagle one can you see
this line here one more fist full of
fiddle faddle and I'm
popping out of my spanks but that's me
I'm just Reva I didn't want to make
you do it in character I just wanted to
the other thing
If I can sort of back up Andy's point, I also think, Lauren, I think we all know, Lauren
fucking loves himself some Keenan.
That's right.
And so I think for Lauren, it was Two Worlds Collide.
It wasn't Andy and Reva, but it was like a digital short in Keenan.
I'm sure he was like, this is what I've been waiting for.
Those Two Worlds Collide was true.
He's like, this was my new body and Clyde.
Oh, my gosh.
Haystacks to Maybacks is a genuinely great.
That is a good line.
A great line for a song about a hip-hop.
person and country singer well doing it obviously that was me
fucking dope anything dope pretty sure biance says it on that last record she did oh my god
don't even play haystacks to maybacks that's how we do right jayette she would have said
maybacks to haystacks more to the trajectory but yeah oh my god maybaks were having a real moment
real moment in music really yeah yeah yeah loved him so yorm how long you're in the bed for well the
bummer part of this is that i can't move one of
of my legs. I can't bear weight on one of my legs for six weeks and I can't bear weight on the
other one for 12. So I'm pretty fucked in terms of like when I can even start to walk again.
But at six weeks, you could enter that, uh, that sack race. Yes. You're talking about the
big one, right? You're talking to the big one that happens in Brooklyn? The big sack race we've
been talking about. The big Brooklyn sack race. I only like that, Andy, because I saw it coming.
You saw it with them. The, the, the, the urges. The urgency.
see when you said in six weeks. I was like, oh,
you saw my eyes start spinning
like a casino machine.
A three-legged race
is probably what you meant, right?
I call it a sack race.
Yeah, sack race, you're just both legs
fully hopping in a sack. And I wanted to also say
you saw my eyes start spinning like a slot
machine. I didn't get anything out how I
wanted. I said a casino
machine. A casino
machine. I'm tired, man.
Hey, we missed them really. This is
late for us. This is the late one, guys.
Yoram, I did a listen back
and you had a really good joke that
none of us, Keev and I both missed.
Yorm forgot, Yorm could
not pull the name Elton John
last week. Oh, man.
Oh, yes, you guys both missed it.
I thought I was going to get a little bit more love.
And then he goes, oh, I think he's friends with that guy
who wrote Spare.
Which was another name.
Neither of you guys counted.
I couldn't remember Elton John's name.
That's equivalent to what I did yesterday on a podcast when I couldn't recall Moesha.
Oh, no.
And how did you describe the person to get there?
I was like, what was Brandy's TV show called?
You know, the one where she played a character named Moisha?
What was the name of the guy in Happy Gilmore?
Happy Gilmore.
Got it.
This is very close to a Harrod, Joe.
the song about the guy whose grandma got run over by a reindeer.
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right.
Oh, speaking of a hot rod, some congratulations in order.
The hot rod suit went for 3X, what the auction house thought it would go for.
Wow, so three bucks?
18 grand.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, they thought it was going to be 3 to 6 grand.
It went for 18 grand.
A lot of people commented still not enough money to save Frank.
We got to get a picture of whoever got that.
Wow.
That's a good joke.
And sadly, the shock of teeth, still no buyers.
Oh, that's so fucking weird.
That's so weird that my...
Keenan, you don't have to stay for us referring to previous episodes things.
But that was the best visit of all time, Kenan.
No, it was lovely, Kenan.
You've done more than is required of you.
You've been enough.
It was the best to see you.
It's so good to see you guys.
Such a nice guest.
Bye, Kenan.
We love you so much.
You're the best.
Love you, dude.
I love you guys, too.
It's so good to see your faces and laugh.
You do, buddy.
Pisses.
Love you.
Love you, bud.
Later.
Bye, dude.
Bye, dude.

I'm on a wheelchair.
Okay.
And go over the other side of the room
because I got to get a prop
and then I'm going to bring it back here.
Okay.
We'll talk about some word game stuff
while you're gone.
Yeah, we want to see more of the crafts.
Yeah,
this is a great.
Yeah, I did Quibi today.
You did Quibi?
That's great.
I did quivy.
Yeah, I did.
Guys, I didn't want to say while Yorms on,
but I still don't know what the spare musical joke is.
I don't know what Spare.
It was an old episode.
He couldn't remember the name.
Prince Harry.
Oh, and he wrote the book Spare.
He's like, he's the guy who wrote Spare.
And we were like, what?
Yes, it was a Prince Harry repeat.
But I didn't remember that that was the book
because I weirdly didn't read it.
It was weird. I agree.
When he said it, I was like, oh.
Also, you know, when Yorm says something,
you don't think it's a trenchant callback.
But it was.
It was good.
The audience, the quades got it.
I got it now.
Yorm dropped sneaky gems.
Oh, so it was a sneaky joke.
That's very good.
Very good.
I laughed quite a bit listening to the episode I missed, by the way.
Just very enjoyable.
Was it like hanging with us?
Like others of our friends?
hanging with you guys. I got the appeal. Hey, wait. This might have been like a, we can't just
brush past this. It's just a little bit of a breakthrough moment, another one. We're chipping
away. I obviously really enjoyed busting on your arm for not remembering Elton John. I enjoyed
Keeve calling you guys out on your hot takes about liking Hamilton and Book of Mormon.
It was such a bummering.
When Keeve did that, I was like, oh, that is what we're doing.
Can I just say
I actually loved it
I know this is controversial
Okay guys I'm back
So when we were talking about Hot Rod just now
I don't know how that came up but we like to talk about
This is one of the gifts that I received
Oh wow
Oh my God
It's a pillow and we'll put it in the show notes or whatever
Because thank you whoever made this
Because I don't know who made this
But it is a redux of the painting that Frank is drawing of Rod,
where he's getting humped from behind by a horse.
And instead, somebody removed the horse and put a ladder and remove Rod's face and put my face.
So I'm getting humped by a ladder.
Yeah, wearing the hot rod suit that you've been wanting.
And then it says, I'm an idiot, which is a apropos.
Also, the background is starry night.
Yeah.
Which I believe it is in the house.
Yes, for no reason.
We were like, make it starry night.
It's really good.
It's really good.
Not just Franks.
It's because he's a good artist.
Hey, there was a secret MVP
in the last episode
who I had to text today
to say it was the highlight of my week.
The Liz Kikowsky ad read.
Oh, God.
I love that so much.
Because we got some Viori stuff for her.
It's really good, Keev.
It's so funny and so good.
I skipped the ads.
Now I don't know what I'm missing.
Oh, God.
Keev, it's like Stiller and Mira.
Well, when Liz gets on, I'm a little bit like, are we funny?
The grumpy husband and the wife who's being sunshiny and doing good jokes.
She's being really perky and thanking Viori for the good stuff.
And every time she, like, references, like, tries to get a response from Keev, he's like,
yeah, man, I guess so.
It's like he can't get her off.
I don't know if I feel like it comes across, but I recorded it on my back.
like we're you know clothing on but like we were just laying in a bed and I was like oh shit we forgot
to do a vioread let's just do it into our phone and I just got out voice notes on the phone I'm just
holding it like this and I'm like uh-huh you can like hear that there's no air coming out of my
and she like sat up and he's like I love it blah blah and I'm like uh-huh cool she at the end says
you know what you say at the end of a commercial about tennis and keiv goes what she goes
Add out.
Oh, yeah.
And Keev goes, I don't get it.
I don't understand enough about tennis to get it.
It's a good joke.
She goes, it's clever.
She does yell, it's clever.
Oh, not to throw a little shade, but, you know, last week, Jeff jumped on to basically defend
himself over how bad your audio was, Keeve, on that voice note.
Yep.
And a bunch of our listeners, I just wanted to point out.
And I would like Jeff to hear it that his audio was super shitty when he started talking.
Yeah, even when he came on.
You might not know what audio is supposed to sound like.
That might be a guy who runs our podcast.
Which is what you want in a podcast guy.
Look, we got it for rock bottom prices.
We're thrilled.
For what we got him for, we're thrilled.
We're thrilled.
Hey, Andy, have you played Pips?
Everybody wants to know if you're playing Pips, the new New York Times game.
I have played Pips.
I'm letting everyone know right now.
I'm not going to be doing Pips.
I'm not a number game guy.
No, that's not.
That's not what I got into this for.
I'm in the WGA, not the math GA.
You know what I mean?
Good.
I did Pips once.
I'll do Pips on easy, like if I'm out of shit, and I'm like, I can't fall asleep.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
Like, at medium Pips, I'm already immediately mad.
I spent one day, one day I delved into Pips and I did all three levels, and I was like, that took me entirely too long.
It's not satisfying.
I already have all these fucking other ones to do that I have to do legally.
Oh, yeah.
For your sponsorships.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
But I did get Queen Bee today, and Seth didn't.
No.
He had to use hints.
Also, two days ago, I tell Andy what words I miss the next day.
Yeah.
And two days ago, I missed the word vagina.
And I wrote to Andy,
I missed vagina yesterday, spare me your jokes.
And he wrote, just yesterday?
Yeah.
I missed vagina yesterday.
Just yesterday?
That's classy.
There's so many ways to go with it.
By the way, I miss vagina.
Let's or I'll set them up, knock them down, kind of.
I think I'm just like a little too highbrow.
I miss vagina all the time.
You know which other word I miss all the time?
Which I kind of can't believe.
Based on the words they don't accept, the dildo.
Dildo, yeah.
Like, I feel like dildo's in like every other bee.
I was texting with Rob Klein's wife, Lucy, because she does the bee as well.
And we were both pretty ticked off today that they didn't accept peehole or poophole.
yeah there was a couple ones that i mean those are not words but it was still infuriating yeah you look
you're i mean because again we're doing it to have fun i mean they're probably just hyphen words hyphenated
yeah that's true um what was the other one there was something else today now i'm looking at it to see
something else that made me man oh like piggy i feel like p i g g i e come agreed that's not a word
no i tried it oh you're going to just enjoy this andy so i was doing a q and a with my audience
which I do every night.
Yeah.
And the questions were just based on the world
we're living in a little dark, okay?
Mm-hmm.
And I was being earnest in my answers,
and then this very friendly face woman raised her hand.
She goes, I just want to switch things up
with a fun question.
I go, oh, my God, thank you so much.
She goes, do you have any pets?
And it...
Was it a joke?
It was not a joke.
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
Half the audience...
Half the audience gasp.
And then it was so fun to explain to this woman.
I go, I am so sorry about what I'm going to tell you.
But you asked the perfect question with the perfect deal.
Do I have any pets?
A lot of people have been sending in merch ideas, and I want to show you this one.
Oh, hey, did we get a response on like best shirt that I could design?
What do you guys think of this one?
Can you see the same?
Oh, nice.
Oh, it's Frisbee's bones holding a Frisbee.
Frisbee holding a Frisbee.
That says Quaid Army.
It's a little, but I did enjoy it.
It's pretty good.
I feel like if we're going to go dark with Frisbee, we could go like metal dark.
Yeah.
If people give us a design, I know that that's a little like taboo in the design world
to get free designs from people.
Right.
We did have a lot of people not, that was somebody who made the designs.
There's a lot of people, a lot of people who are just like, hey, maybe something like this.
Like, a lot of people were like an Andy-faced Cuado coming out of the stomach of the t-shirt.
These are ideas for T-shirts.
An Andy-faced, Cuado.
If it's Andy, and then the quato coming out of Andy's stomach is Frisbee, that'd be interesting to see.
Oh.
See, now that's something I'd be interested in the thing.
Oh, that's interesting to me.
So Andy's all dead-eyed because he's gone dark because the Cuado's taking his life energy when it's out, right?
Yeah.
He's just the vessel.
You're saying, in the design.
I thought you were describing me at present.
And I was like, hang.
You'll just be like a sleep on the couch or something,
and then there's a frisbee talking with a cement and a moulson, obviously.
Can I ask you guys a question?
How many of you guys have peed into your urinal during this Zoom?
Did you do it during?
Yeah, just now.
That's so good.
Congratulations.
Thanks for showing us the piss also.
That's great.
Well, because I didn't want you to think I was a liar.
Again, we, this is, let's be honest,
this is a kind of a deep cut podcast,
and I feel like the people listen to it,
listen to it all, which is great. And a lot of the ideas for t-shirts are so deep cut that
they made me really laugh. Like someone just said, here's an idea, on the job with psychedelic wavy
letters. Oh, I like that. Ask me if I quibbied. Yeah, right. Love. Yeah, these are good. Like,
it's, there's really, these are really, uh, yeah. But they're wearable. Those are more wearable
than like disgusting graphics. All caps, Yorm Thorne with a rose on it.
If you're all I'm thorn
Wait, I have a pitch
I have a pitch
Two targets over each
Like where the nipples would be
And it says hit us in the tithes
Gotcha
Yeah
And then people might hit you
While you wear the shirt
Yeah I mean that's their prerogative
Oh someone just said
I don't know what's on the front
But I think the back should have a big image
of Jack Quaid cooking up mac and cheese
With a voice bubble
That says hey Quaid what you're cooking
I don't know, no one really care about this, but on the job, we would have to cut in Joanna and both of her siblings because the job obsession was from them, yeah.
I'd wear a t-shirt that's just a mug that says mugless on it.
I think that would be a real conversation starter.
Yeah.
And another one that I'd wear is a goose saying not a gong.
Not a gong.
Love that one.
Oh, and this one took me a second, but I were like a t-shirt that says, it 15, what it 15?
Which is, it is what it is.
Oh, the 15 for my wedding anniversary.
Oh, my God.
God, these are good.
They're really good.
Reminding me of all our fun goofs.
I'd love for everybody to be wearing a shirt based on my wedding anniversary.
Your love of love.
Wait, did we get consensus on, like, a shirt?
Because, look, all I've got is time, guys.
So if there's a shirt I can design and there's consensus,
is, I'll start tomorrow.
I mean, take your pick.
You just heard a bunch of good ones.
No, but like, wait, hold on.
Uh-oh.
As Jeff say, a Google form of like 40 ideas.
Okay, so I just have to look at those three ideas.
I was kind of reading off of those.
There it is.
Okay, gotcha.
Oh, remember Edie, the girl who called in
with a great voice note?
Somebody said, oh, I think the last time she called in
was to say, Ross Tran is her favorite song
because her dad is bald.
And also, she was mad because she wasn't allowed
to sing sushi glory hole at school.
So she's a real one.
Got it.
Yeah.
All-timer.
We didn't doubt it.
We didn't doubt it.
Wait.
Somebody said, did Frisbee actually die or did they finally just check her for a heartbeat?
That dog looked like it died years ago.
And in the meantime, her body was being possessed by the ghost of Shelly Duvall.
Oh, pretty good.
Fucking hell.
That's my comrade, whoever wrote that.
Someone said, I feel like a real eagle-eared cherry.
Yeah, that's great.
Because I, at the end of Palm Springs, when a character's,
said, what the fuck are you doing in our pool?
I knew right away it was Akiva, but then
someone else wrote, it's not a Kiva.
No, it's me. It's Akiva. It is you, okay.
Yeah. First guy is an eagle-eared cherry.
I'm not the person in the shot, but it is my
voice. So they really were an eagle-eared cherry.
They were. That's amazing.
It's off-camera.
Got it.
So the actors that, I believe, was just our producer...
You hear it first, and then there's the reveal.
And then you reveal that it's a family standing there.
So the line is not attached to someone's face.
And we just needed one.
And I did it into a mic in our office while I was – because I was editing that scene myself like 20 different ways because the ending of that movie is a tightrope, you know, if we ever do a Palm Springs app, which we probably should.
But it's a tightrope of trying to leave the audience a specific way.
Yeah, we workshopped it a lot.
Yeah, where they're happy and feel satisfied, but also it leaves some things open-ended and it's not too pat, etc.
And so I did that as temp, and Andy never replaced it.
It's because it worked.
Shout out real quick to Krista Miliani on her Emmy win.
Emmy winner. That's pretty cool. Also,
I just heard, somebody posted
it, rest in peace, Robert Redford.
Yeah, that's very sad. Someone posted
a podcast clip of you and
Milliani. I guess you were at Sundance.
Oh, yes. Yes. And
Andy is basically saying to the podcast
host, if I saw Robert
Redford in person, I'd shit my
pants, and then he walks in.
He walked in. And it's really like
a fantastic radio play, because
again, you never see
or hear Robert Redford, but you're
reaction is so fucking we were seeing him i mean he was it's the funniest thing is if you could have
seen it he was like four or five feet away from us while we were talking about him on the podcast but
he didn't wait andy is your reaction like a dirty rotten scoundrel's kind of like low like i'm
freaking out i mean it's fucking robber ever he's such a legend and we're like at sundance
and it's his whole thing you know um it was cool it was really cool to just even be in the same
room it's uh it was fantastic there was another thing and i meant to write you getting a lot of
andy content on my uh short firm uh digital platforms uh you did that uh writing a caption for the new
york times cartoon contest oh yeah i did it it really made me laugh did it i was so fucking
sleepy that i walked away being like those are hard and it was really it landed for me really well
what's the competition like how is it how's it's not they basically you know the back
of the New Yorker used to have, like, a cartoon with no caption.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do they not do that anymore?
I don't know.
No, they do, I still read The New Yorker, but not in the hard copy anymore.
But they basically showed Andy a cartoon, and he had to, like, talk through his thought
process of coming up with a caption for it, and it was really funny.
It's a series they do online.
Yeah.
Like people who are, if you're doing the press tour, that's like a stop you can make,
where you have to kind of, he stands out a little easel, and they present you with one,
and you kind of have to think out loud and walk the audience through your thought process.
I saw a YouTube comment because I was looking through him over the last five minutes.
That is about Liz's thing.
I'll just read it.
It says, unlike Yorm, Keeves' wife is a big pun fan.
Right.
Like Big Pun, the rapper, and he capitalized it.
That's a pretty good.
Pretty good comment.
Somebody said we should call our next Q&A.
QAQ&A, because it's a Kuwait Army Q&A.
So it's a QA QA QA Q&A.
QA QA Q&A QA Q&A, QA, QA, because there are little secret codes
in our most of the pug.
Yeah, and before we started rolling,
Keith, you were saying that you think
that QAnon is actually pretty on point.
I mean, and catch me every day saying that.
Catch me outside, remember that?
Oh, my God, that was wild.
Bad Barbie.
She's still around.
Actually, yeah, I spun it into a pretty lucrative career
is what I'm reading on Yahoo News.
Hey, look, it's, you guys,
I'm just now I'm a teller.
It's Friday night for us east coasters.
It's getting a little late.
Yeah.
Seth, I wish we were in the same place right now.
We could just meet at a bar and have one.
Wouldn't that be fun?
It would be a...
I can't do that because of my legs
because I can't leave the hooker.
I don't think you're supposed to mix alcohol
with whatever else they're giving you.
Well, no, but I just am saying I couldn't even do.
But I could, you could like limp over in six weeks?
Yeah.
And like a sack race.
If there was like a sack race that got me there.
You could poke over.
I don't know where you are, Seth, but just in general,
you two have never lived closer.
That's true.
Me and your arm.
That's true.
Podcast!
I feel like we brushed past that I got Queen Bee.
Do people want to circle back?
That's a good re-entry into actually the podcast.
Guys, for those who didn't hear what we were just doing,
we made each other laugh,
me till I had a little bit of tears in my eyes,
and it's all stuff that can't be said publicly,
even when Andy wants dem clicks.
Dem clicks.
And it would get us dim clicks.
It would get it, but at what cost, Andy?
Like, honestly, Andy, if we don't put this in about you really,
iterating that you got queen b i would love to hear if other people like did you hear that they didn't
they just kind of like rode rough shot over him talking about queen b like that's so fucked up like yeah they might be
they might be sad for andy that's true yeah you get some of the love that i have andy the hardest
word today on queen b was logo file did you get it right away or was it right near the end
uh i got it pretty early just because i've done a lot of them yeah logo file as a single word yeah
now i'm impressed he's pretty good is it logophile though how's it pronounced
No, I think the way you said it's better.
Great.
By the way, they introduced badges into the New York Times games now.
So there's like, did you get Pangram first?
Oh, wow.
And I'm fucking hooked.
It immediately worked on me.
I'll be, for sure, spend 10 extra minutes on this getting the Pangram first.
So I can get my badge.
To get your pretend badge.
Yeah, I got to get my badge.
Taking me back to my Angry Birds two days.
How about for the 100th episode of the pod?
will get you a physical sash, like a, like a Boy Scout sash.
Does it say Queen Bee or Quibi or?
Yeah.
A lot of people said like another good logo for our podcast would be like the Queen Bee
with the letters for like lonely on it.
Well, I will say that that's better than like four Quattos.
Like, because every time I think about Quado on a shirt, I like it, doesn't sound appealing to me.
Yeah.
No, it's gross.
Anything too graphic is not what we actually want.
No.
I think that's why I think the real subtle ones like somebody says,
directed by Douglas Bubble Trousers
just and sort of like...
I kind of like that one too.
Like credit script?
Maybe for the 100th, I'll quit
Spelling Bee.
Oh, I thought you were going to quit the podcast.
Oh, yeah.
They may have done the pause.
Oh, fuck, that would have been better.
Let me take it again.
Maybe for the 100th, I'll quit.
Do you think you could quit spelling me?
You haven't presented as a man.
I think it would help my productivity in life.
He has a history of this, as he mentioned,
and we've talked about before,
but Angry Birds, too, was a huge...
part of his life, like
time suck. Yeah. To the point where he
had to quit it much the way someone would quit
drinking. Yes. Or even
drugs. Sure. Yeah.
Andy, you were big in a
brick breaker or two, right? Like, you can kind of like always pick a game, right?
I was not in a... Oh, wait, on the fucking
Blackberry. Yeah, on the BlackBerry. What was the game on
BlackBerry? Was it Brick Breaker? Yeah, I was in a brick breaker.
You had a real... I was like, no,
Yorm, you fucking drugged up.
Not even. Oh, no, right. You were right.
was exactly that for years actually
Oh, I had a major
problem. Man, man, man, man, man.
That's my beige man. I fully
backpedal man. And by the way,
sorry about your back, brother.
And pelvis and pedal
by. Whatever you got
going on. Anyway, so should I
quit? Hit us as a titus.
So wait,
so your new character
is Pelvis Esley.
That's my new character?
Pelvis Restle. Pelvis wrestling.
Pelvis wrestling
Pelvis wrestling
Yeah

You want to do today
Any yeah roses press

Okay
Great
People like it
People like the movie
People are like it
I'm getting a lot of love on it
I'm so sad
I haven't seen it yet
I'm so excited to see it
I can't see it
Because I can't go to the movies
Well you know
You're not supposed to say this
But it'll be on demand soon
No no no no no
Do we talk about the Kiev
Crossed a Hondo?
You crossed a Hondo?
Yes, bro
Yes bro
Wow
Wow, bro, Honda.
It's a 101-something million worldwide.
Can't tell you how excited I was to see it happen.
I'm the box office guy for Keith.
Yeah.
But I started checking after we all talked about it.
It's exciting, man.
Honestly, it did feel good to cross 100 mil.
Yeah.
It's on demand now.
I don't know if we've talked about that.
You can rent it or buy it for a while.
And then eventually it also will be on one of the many great services.
I'm guessing Paramount Plus, home of Digman.
Hey, Digman.
Hey, Digman.
So, Keith, what's it like to have $100 million?
It's so great.
But it did change me.
I said, just as good as we thought.
I told you guys, I'm a word guy.
I'm not a number guy.
You said you weren't in the math GA.
Yes, that's what I said.
If I had said, I told you guys, I'm not in the math GA.
Hey, we watched it.
I had my fantasy football draft weekend, me and a bunch of college guys,
and we watched Nick and Gunn and loved it.
I saw it, obviously.
It was my third time through, and it's the best.
That's awesome.
Thank you for your contribution.
Oh, sorry. He was talking about the original, Keith. He was talking about the original.
It was actually the second. It was naked gun, 33 and third.
Oh, 33 and third. So nostalgic.
Yorm, your drugs tailing off? How you doing, bud?
I got to get re-uped pretty soon here, and then I'll hopefully pass out.
What kind of stuff are they given?
Well, my new thing is, guys, if you really want to hear about it, is that my, I have a crazy nerve pain in my feet.
Oh, that sucks.
And what happened was is that everybody, I was very concerned with it because it's basically like both of my feet feel like they're being dipped in
lava. And then this was on Sunday when this happened. And I luckily, because one Sunday's
here or any hospital, it feels very shift-changy sort of thing. So I was getting no like traction
on like any information. So luckily I had my, my surgeon's number, because he's a fool and
gave it to me. And I, uh, I texted him. And I was like, hey, uh, this is happening.
And he was like, oh, that's a good sign. Oh, good. If it hurts, then the nerves are coming back
on land. That's great. I was like, oh, good. So the burning, the horrible.
burning is good. That is great to hear
though. Yeah. I mean, what a relief.
Oh, I was so scared before that.
Yeah. Yorm, with apologies to Paris Hilton,
that's hot. Uh,
no problem. I'll take that any time.
I've never seen Seth more unhappy.
I'm going to take that to bed
tonight. When I'm my burning feet,
with my lava feet, I'm going to be like,
you know, I remember when Andy said that hot
comment with Paris Hylton.
God damn it. First time that I've ever genuinely wished we
had video for this, Seth.
I've never seen Seth more disappointed in me, and that's saying a lot.
He's just like, God, damn it.
I will say.
I have to realize, oh, that.
Andy, I'm going to give you a quiz now.
What do Paris Hilton and Matthew McConaughey say when they're together?
All right, all right, all hot.
Am I close?
It's another one of her.
No, it might be too deep of a Paris Hilton reference for you to know it.
It's hardy as if it's not, it's hot.
He just keeps slivin.
Oh, sliven.
Because he says sliven a lot.
I was trying, I was looking for haughty and the naughty.
Yeah.
Was that her?
That was her.
I think so, yeah.
Was it her?
I'm not sure.
Yeah, she was the hottie and right.
Yeah, and the other one was the naughty.
Hi, Liz.
Do you need some?
