I'm guessing it was a few weeks after it aired on the show. It was a hit. And so they invited us to come do it live on the show.

Good.

No.

And that was all them because they're amazing, obviously. And so they had worked it all out, except for we figured out what our replacement curse words would be.

I watched that the other day, the classroom instruments. I forget why. Maybe my kids were asking about something. And I was pleasantly surprised that we sounded like the record, even though it's classroom instruments.

Right? Yeah, we have to look at other stuff. We don't have a lot to say about this.

I was like, hey, we could really do it. We sound totally like normal and like the record for the amount. We always talk about faking it. I was like, hey, look at that. Can't fake that. It's a single shot.

So certainly easier because you're sitting and not like getting out of breath, moving around.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's promote.

It was never on Netflix. So it's been nine years since it came out.

It bounces around. Like, it was just on Prime. And for the first, like, four years, it was, I forget where, but it was somewhere where it was really hard to see except for renting it, which was annoying to us.

The moment it came out and people didn't see it in theaters, we were like, God, I wish it was on Netflix right now because we felt like it could have been maybe big if it had just come to people. And then, you know, Netflix just has a reach. Big relative. Yeah, relative to zero. Yeah, bigger than Abject. Bigger. We thought maybe it would.

No.

Correct. No, we were just going for USA Suits numbers.

I have a follow-up on I'm on a Boat here from my wife.

So, Seth, you reached out to her.

It looks really long for the record. Who gives a shit? She's funny. Yeah, she's the best.

That's why I married her, I guess.

I guess we should let her watch those finished Lonely Island. She might find three new hugs. Yeah, she might have a new crush.

I knew it was going to be Burns. I knew. But honestly, not lies. Just Burns.

But it is the truth. True Burns. Yes. But also not even, not just true that I look like them, but true that she is attracted to them.

It's so weird that I did know that about Liz, that Eddie Redmayne was on that list. That only came up for the first time she mentioned something, like, weeks ago. And I was like, what? And no offense to Eddie Redmayne. She told me.

I'm the original The Jackal movie guy, so I couldn't just watch this one.

That is my favorite Jackal. I do have a website if anybody wants to check. Sorry, can we promote side things? It's like my listicle, and it's like favorite Jackals is the most popular one on there.

But the jackal, the jackal is also like a passed around. It's like Kim Cattrall doing her jazz. You know, it's like a passed around web clip where people people know the jackal that haven't even watched the West Wing.

There's also the Jackals from The Lion King, and there's the Jackals from The Lion King live action computer animated remake. I'm going to say hyenas, right? Aren't they hyenas?

Fuck me. Erase that. Go get them, Jackals. Correct them. That's by far the most humiliating thing I've said on this pod. Delete it. Oh, my God. Keep the stuff about me looking like Edward Snowden, though.

She said Radcliffe. Radcliffe. For someone calling out Liv so much in Autocrat. That's what I mean. She definitely said Daniel Radcliffe.

She knows somebody else.

Yeah, it's his stand-in, Daniel Radcliffe.

Some nice, thoughtful guys. Yeah. One of them's sweet and one's smart.

Yeah.

I mean, he's asking for other Quades, right? Because Quade is one of them that now has caught on.

I know. Yeah, but also righteous kill. So he's saying what else is in the righteous kill Quaid world?

Is that the question? Or is he saying what other things from our stuff that people say to us?

I would say double true and crazy delicious both caught on from the very first thing from Lazy Sunday. There's probably a bunch more.

I have one more righteous kill. Great. This came from Jorm, I believe, but we say me likey that a lot. Oh, yeah. That did become. We made the song. We don't say it because of the song we made for Popstar. We've said it for years and made the song because Jorm said it for years. So much so in like editing when we're working with an editor and we go, okay, me likey dat. We would go MLD.

We do say MLD a lot. We text MLD. Okay, MLD.

For no likey dat.

We used to have a lot of things in mixing with decibels, with dBs, with dibbles. Yeah, dibbles. And we had a whole code system, but I can't remember now for half dibbles. It got really complicated, though, because at a certain point, half a dibble meant three dibbles. Remember where it was like a code system?

That's what I mean. We had a whole... And a dibble was just a dB, meaning a decibel for mixing. And we'd be like, ooh, I'm way too loud on that line. Take me down a peg. And they'd be like, well, take me down half a peg. And that meant two dibbles, which is two dBs, which is two decibels. Yes.

He'd be like, yeah, I'll take this down half a peg.

I'm just happy to take a back seat for this. I mean, this is exciting stuff.

Yeah. I don't want to point fingers as to who's playing with this, but I've heard a lot of talk about it.

I like the sound of that.

Can I take a wild guess?

I mean, if I was going to guess, it sounds like it's like a personal finance app that helps you find unwanted subscriptions. And then if you do, you could cancel them or it could pay attention to what I'm spending money on. Monitor it even? Yeah, yeah, exactly. And it could help lower my bills and help me grow my savings.

That's horrible.

Yeah.

Definitely. I mean, unlikely. No.

It says Keenan, but as we know, these are wrong a lot. Right.

I think partially because of I'm on a boat, too, like just being like, well, we've made our personal statement last week. We don't need to say we can take our egos completely out of the short now and just do something to help service the musical.

Now, we got texted this. Is this one not online?

I wonder why, because that's their music. Yeah, I don't understand.

So I'd like to find it in my text thread, and because it's not online, do our... Oh, yeah, do Stop Start.

Yeah, well, this one, I mean, I wouldn't have thought it needs it because it doesn't have that many moves or things to talk about necessarily, especially because we didn't make the music. Yeah. But because they literally can't find it, then I think it's actually kind of necessary.

You're right. Gosh, Keeve, you know what? I just always have the Quades in mind. You are. You think of Quades first. As the Simon of the group, I try to think about the Quades a lot.

So weigh in the comments. It could be either. Oh, my God.

Three Theodores. Oh, we're all begging to be three.

So a little joke here, he takes out the VHS tape and then it's a DVD player that he's trying to get it to go into the little, what's that little disc, the disc tray, I would call it.

He's going to have to try to push them all into a router now.

Oh, like sleepwalking. When you first saw the three of them on the couch, were you like, oh, my God, it's the Finnish group that sings about saunas. It does.

In terms of the trios of white guys, Jonas Brothers does fit firmly into the Lonely Island workaholics, everything sunny in Philadelphia. Yeah.

As Rolling Stone called them, the Swedish Lonely Island. Burn. Burn. Where's your guys' VCR?

I appreciated that you tried to slam the VHS tape into it, but it's got the thing that stops it from being able to be slammed in there.

We got Keenan on the keys.

Forte. Forte's looking like Richard Simmons.

Yeah, it was a nice New York studio. And they're real musicians. They really just do it, which is awesome.

I'm looking at the rundown, and an interesting just tidbit is that hot air balloon number one played again.

That's for Janja Horsens. It was just whatever length it was that was so short, they just kind of kept it handy when they needed it for, I'm sure, just commercial break reasons. Right.

Oh, a rung. Like, take it up a rung. Or take it down a rung.

Take it down a peg. Take it up a peg. Take it up a rung. Wow, yeah. We didn't use rung that much.

Should make a shirt. Honestly uses it constantly.

That's their slogan.

That one I don't like because other people say that. And just anyone witnessing us knows we live moss. Yeah.

We're not afraid of fourth meal, Seth. That's right. Bring it on. Anyway, I'm telling you, Taco Bell representatives are out there.

You don't see this on the rundown often, which is under the cut for dress section on the right where it tells you everything that was cut after dress. And sometimes there's cut at air or whatever it's called. This is an added on air, meaning it wasn't a dress. It wasn't even part of the plan. And that is hot air balloon.

So it wasn't even like they had in their back pocket for when they get screwed, basically, because it's a live show and they look at the time.

This is an emergency situation because they looked at how much time left was in the show.

The same ones. Exactly. They saw that whatever first coughs is, which was the final, you know, five to one sketch, wasn't long enough to get you to the 1 a.m.

Apologies to all our listeners. This is to punish Seth. Maybe 9.30 a.m. is our time. I think it might be our time. Maybe we aren't really, guys.

Yeah.

It's basically I'm on a boat about saunas. This feels very Finnish, but when I just Googled, Yahoo called them Sweden. Are they Swedish? I have answers. Okay, great. Sauna.

Wowzers, all right. Yeah. Wait, so that wasn't from Eurovision, because Eurovision's now. So that was maybe their entry at the competition?

But was Eurovision two months ago or right now? No, it was very recently. But then I'm saying you just said that video is from two months ago.

Sorry if I... Because the finals of Eurovision are May 19th, which was four days ago. Oh, all right.

Oh, yeah. That's a mashup I'm interested in.

It had to have gotten cleared because UMG was really much more strict than SNL is even about that stuff.

I did not, but I certainly attended many of their concerts at that point.

Well, yeah, when I was like 19 and 20 in college and I was in Santa Cruz and I wanted certain bands to come, but they weren't necessarily planning, I would then just reach out and be a promoter out of nowhere to try to get them. So I did the Alcoholics, which was one of our favorite groups. Did you also design the Flyers? Why do I think you designed the Flyers?

Yeah, I did eventually start trying to design them. The Far Side and AC Alone, like Freestyle Fellowship, those guys.

I had no clue what I was doing. In hindsight, sometimes I think about some of the things and I'm like, oh, that was unprofessional. But they also knew they were talking to some 19-year-old college kid. Fake it till you make it.

Greg Chun. Yeah, Greg Chun.

Yeah. We tried to make a fake Zion.

No, we were trying to get record levels to send us the promo records that they send DJs. Oh, I see, I see.

No, I think we were promoting the album. You're talking about the classroom instruments or you're talking about when we did it on your show that Fallon used to host?
