I'm On a Boat
Man, I felt like that was a cruel tee-up, Seth. It seemed like maybe it was going to be something.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I got it hours ago. Fuck this guy. Let's see if Seth mentions it when he comes back from either number one or number two.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You want to know my guess? He's going to avoid the subject.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Okay, great. Don't interrupt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got a little Bedlam spillover from those non-Seth apps. We're used to talking more now. Sorry about the melee and Bedlam.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No, I just think when he doesn't achieve his goals, he avoids talking about them.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
For once. And then who are the other two? Oh, oh, oh, oh. Almost certainly Bill as Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. James Gunn.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat

I'm On a Boat
He's the sensei, though. He's not the put him in a body bag. Yes. No, wait. He has put him in the body bag. He's the bad sensei. But the sensei doesn't say put him in the body bag. The buddy says it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
John Kreese is the main bad guy, you know, is the sensei of Cobra Kai.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Wait, wait, wait. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. But what is Denzel Washington's character in Man on Fire? John Kreese. Keef, Keef, Keef, Keef, Keef, Keef, Keef, Keef.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Does he wear his khakis with a cuff and a crease?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I don't know the answer to this, but I know it's close. What is his character from Man on Fire, Denzel? It's close to John Kreese, but what is it going to be? Sound off in the comments. Steal!
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
She calls him Kreesey the whole time. Guys, can we go back to add something? John Kreesey. Wait, hold on.

The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I mean, it's some sort of like Ice Cube Westside connection type of a thing, but I don't know the exact.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, I know the basic things, you know, it's the look that like Ice Cube and all the L.A. kind of gangster people wear where it's like, you know, probably those Dickies khakis.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Guys, it's in still Dre. That's the most. Oh, it's in still Dre.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No one? No. Yeah, of course. I guess I'm the fucking piece of dog shit idiot loser.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It's just hard to access thoughts that fast sometimes. All right. Now, I'm not trying to create another Anthony Edwards here, guys. That's what I'm saying. I'm not trying to create another Doug... Hauser, Hauser situation. Hauser, Hauser. I'm just letting you know that the fictional character of John Kreese, who is the sensei of Cobra Kai, is named John Kreese.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And then, I'm assuming for SAG reasons... John W. Creasy, he added the W. Oh, Man on Fire, Creasy. Creasy is Denzel Washington, a.k.a. Creasy Bear. Creasy Bear, yeah, we love that. As he's referred to by Dakota Fanning, because that's like his Manny, you know? Yeah. While they're down in Mexico or somewhere, and he's her bodyguard. I don't have to tell you about it. You've seen Man on Fire.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. Keith, on a related note, what does Creasy Bear wish that that one guy had? More time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
See, now that I'll know. I thought you were going to perform it. I wish you had more time. But he's the one that's going to blow him up. I know, then he kills him. It's so tight. He could make his own wish come true, I guess.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, and you're talking about Christopher Walken who played Iago and also was in the Laser Cats.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
The photographer or the cinematographer who we see in the window.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Okay. I told you it was going to be short. Clearing up some controversy from last week about the pants and the shoes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, there was a part of me that was hoping he was going to end right after I can confirm I was the camera. Yo, definitely.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, our album's coming out, right? So what's the date of the episode? But who paid for it? The video was fully the record label.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I mean, how thorough do we want to get? I think people want us to get very thorough. Easily one of, if not our biggest song ever.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It's possibly musically the best song that we've done.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I know. Go ahead, guys. I'm sorry, Yormy. Full thorn. Yorm was out of town for the weekend or something while we were recording Incredibad. That is correct.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, that's good. Get that shit out. Yeah, we're back in Encino. We're back in the episode about Incredibab when we skipped him on a boat. So all the things from that still track for this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
As mentioned, you know, part of us getting a record deal was receiving tons of real beats from actual producers. And one of our first bundles of them had a bunch from this dude Wishmaster. And this beat immediately we singled out. I remember personally being like, we absolutely have to do some idea to this beat. It's so fucking rad. We loved it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I'm doing strands. I just got the spangler. And once that is put to bed, obviously I already got connections in Wordle, then I will try and get letterboxed in two words.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Anyway, so the conceiving of it was not super interesting, as it never is, but I remember our friend John Silk was visiting the house. He's an executive at Netflix now. We grew up together in Berkeley. He just happened to be visiting, and he can vouch he was in the room. We were playing that beat, and I just started yelling, I'm on a boat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And I remember Keeve started laughing, and I started laughing, and we were like, I guess that's the premise. Uh, and it was, you know, obviously there was a lot of boat stuff in rap videos at that moment in time. Yeah. Especially because that Miami scene was really popping off and we loved that and we're really engaging with it a lot as listeners.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Like We Taken Over, kind of all the Khalid, Akon, T-Pain shit that was happening down there. Rick Ross and Lil Wayne was obviously guesting on a lot of those songs.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It was definitely a trope of the moment in that era of champagne and big boats. That was kind of of the moment.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It's definitely a song we did not overthink. And we weren't like, what's the other twist to it? We were like, yeah, that's the chorus. Now let's just start writing. And we definitely wrote our own verses. And I doubt even helped each other on them at all, honestly. Just said, all right, write about being on a boat. And then we both just did.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And sometimes I do on new songs that we're trying to crack. Sometimes I try to
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
harken back to that of like we don't need to always think of three twists like sometimes if the premise is good and the song sounds good maybe we should just go straight at it and just do the simplest version and sometimes that happens and sometimes it doesn't but especially with a title like that like when it's a song that's just like hey this is the premise exactly i also think it weirdly counts as heightening by the fact that they don't ever switch to anything else correct yes it's like who said we're whack but musically crazier
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. Where it's like part of the joke is doubling down, tripling down, quadrupling down and never stopping. And they can't get over the fact that they're on this boat and that they're bragging about it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It was Yarmthorne, another Yarmthorne. We gave you writing credit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No, I was... You have seven anniversaries a year.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Me and Andy had a great time. We can look up the photos of us there. We were having a blast.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, we wore our sunglasses the whole time because it was rock and roll.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, because we were part, we were now, well, if you jump into the Grammys for a second, we were nominated under best rap sung collaboration against songs like Run This Town.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We were literally up against Run This Town, which thank God won.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yes. I don't know if anyone's ever gone to the Grammys hoping to lose more. If we win, we can't get on stage. We were only confident enough to go because we were that sure that we were going to lose.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We were in the wrong category. We were a little salty about not being nominated for a comedy album. Right. Yes. Because I believe we had had the biggest selling comedy album of the year. And as everyone knows, if you sell a lot, that means it's high quality. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But it is true. We did have the number one Billboard album, a comedy chart album. Incredibout was number one for two years, I think, until our next album came out. That's right. And then they nominated us, which let us know they knew we existed. But then you guys lost comedy album to Rick Ross.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I will say, I remember hitting the carpet for the Grammys. And we bumped into T-Pain, and we were so excited to see him. Of course, we love him. And before he said anything, we were like, I know, I know. He's like, dude. Because we hadn't talked since we got nominated. And we were like, oh, man, this is not a good look. And he was like, you know how many fucking songs I did this year?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I mean, it was never it was never going to be around this town.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
That's such a smash. Yeah, we never for a second thought we'd win. Which was, again, a relief in why we could take the whole day as kind of a fun joke that we were there as musicians and just wear, I think I wore the tux from the video and just put it on.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But I will say everyone else that had a good rap song collaboration that year, sorry.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I don't think we really bounced around asking people. Hey, what'd you think about ours?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I remember though, like you couldn't buy a drink there and T-Pain had some way of getting us them. So we did end up, because we were sitting with him. So we did end up very nicely. He was sending some assistant type person. He was like, you guys want some? Getting like Jack and Cokes or something.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It was not that. I remember it being... The reason I remember being Jack and Coke is because I remember when Pink was up in the rafters doing her... What's it called when you do that? Essentially the ballet up on the ropes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
She killed it. It was amazing. She's singing her whole thing, you know, 50 feet above us. But glitter was raining down from her and it got into my drink. And that's why... Yarmthorn!
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
He did have glitter in his drink. Shit, that sucks, dude. I still drank it. Keeve didn't do this during Jizz in My Pants, I'm just saying. Yeah, or I just had sex coming up soon. Be classy. Take a note from your good friend Keeve.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Letterboxd has a J, an X, and a V. Not to mention a U and a V. This is going to be tough.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So we filmed it in Miami because we were like, we have a label. We have a few off weeks because it's the back half of the schedule. So it was whatever the off weeks were before February 7th.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We recorded in the summer. It was obviously Andy doing the chorus. We reached out to T-Pain and he said yes in the summer. But we did not get him on the track for months and months. It was one of those things where it's like, he's in. And then we were like, cool. And then we could not...
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Get him to record because he was just on his own timeline and probably didn't realize SNL's on the fastest timeline.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Immediately. Just the beat alone. We were probably like, this sounds like the kind of thing that T-Pain's the number one person you'd want singing. Right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Oh, good memory. Yes. The reason we thought he might say yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So when T-Pain came with Mariah Carey, we had met him in the hallway and we were fans of his, but we didn't think he had any clue who we were. But then he saw us and he did the ultimate punch from Hot Rod in the hallway. And we all went, what? And he went, ultimate punch! And we were like, oh shit, we love this dude. And obviously within a minute, we're like, we would love to do a song with you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And he was like, just let me know. So we knew he was down, which is our favorite thing and has led to many collaborations because people say that. So we go, let's write towards them then if we know that they want to do one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You can use one letter from each side at a time. Oh, yeah, I know that one. I mean, I used to do it and be like snooze fest because it was so easy to get it. And let's say today it says in six words. But then I think I talked about this already. Dan Gore said him and his brother.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We also did it with him live at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Yes. When we did it on our tour. He just happened to be there doing his own set and then... We were like, we're gonna be there too. And so he stuck around and came and did it with us. Did he also come when we did the San Francisco one? Did he? Yes, because he was doing the stage next to us after us. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
When we did our very, very, very first concert at Clusterfest in San Francisco. Yeah. The year before our tour, he came and did it with us live.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, it's nice that he has the ability to change. Yeah, yeah. And more. And grow.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, so our album's coming out February 10th. This episode is February 7th. So we know it's the one that we want to put out to get everyone's attention to the record.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, we had written the whole album. And generally speaking, like the head of our label was like, that one sounds pretty good. Like everyone was sort of like, you should do a video for that one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I remember you saying it sounds good, but you didn't think it was that funny.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We did try some goofier lines. I can't remember what they were or where they were, but I do remember trying them and then erasing them.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I think there's a part of it that, again, the doubling down and tripling down, but also the relentlessness of it. There's a moment two thirds of the way through where it's clearly the moment in another song where it's supposed to go back to the chorus. Yeah. And instead we just do get the fuck up. This boat is real and straight back into verse. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But the horns come in like it's a chorus, but we don't stop just doing verse stuff where it's like the whole song is basically one continuous hockey stick to use the Silicon Valley terminology. Just goes up, up, up, up, up, and then ends. Yeah. And there's no like peaks and valleys.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It's like blossoms with T-Pain getting to do a verse and then it ends. Yeah, exactly. It also starts with a chorus and ends. It's just bookended choruses, right? There's nothing in the middle at all. Correct. We just do I'm on a boat twice.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It's a weird format for sure. But I remember us being like, I guess that's okay. We just like how it sounds.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I can give you the very quick rundown of what I remember on a production level, which is it's the weeks before we know that this is our target to try to have it come on this show so that it'll support the record. We had already even sent the song to iTunes and it was going to songs came out on Tuesday back then. So we knew the song was going to come out Tuesday of this week. So it was already out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Hmm. uh as a single on itunes previous to the video coming out just you know by four days five days and we decided to go down to miami because we wanted to look legit and we had done jizz my pants and we knew it was possible we had planned a two-day shoot and t-pain had confirmed and we were very excited and then days before he was on tour with lil wayne and they were in canada and
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So that's just the only reason I was talking about it, because you asked, you fucking piece of shit. Sorry, go on about Doritos.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And they got snowed in and they were afraid that if he came to our shoot, he would not be able to fly back to Canada and that he'd get fined a ton for missing a night of the tour. And so we were down in Miami. We went for an extra few days because we were going to shoot MTV bumpers as well, you know, because we're on a label and they're setting up cool promo stuff.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So we went down to Miami and we're going to have five days in Miami, even though the shoot was only going to be two. So we could do MTV promos, which we had devised with some other guys that did a great job.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
They were, I wish I could remember their names and give them credit because I actually, it's one of the few things we've ever done with other people where I was like, hey, they did an amazing job. And it was the premise. Shout out to their other collaborators.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Honestly, they were people probably hired for MTV or worked for MTV that did their little promos that would like in their minds, they said is seven million dollars of free ads because it was basically a full week where you'd be the thing bumping you out to commercials and back of every MTV show like throughout the whole week. And it was Daytona Spring Break 88 was the theme.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And it was like we were at a wild 80s MTV Spring Break. And I'm sure you can find them online. I remember those now, yeah. So we got to have a really fun week in Miami. And back to the plane thing, all of a sudden it was like the whole thing was about to fall apart.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So our budget, I forget what it was, but we had to take essentially half of it to a private jet for Payne to get him down and get him back. And so it became a one-day shoot maybe a day before the shoot. So we had to collapse a two-day shoot into a single-day shoot right before shooting.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And one way we achieved it is that that one day became like a 16-hour day, like an insane day. It was insanely long. And we had two cameras, which we weren't going to have. Music videos would almost never need two cameras because you're always looking at the camera. So you'd have to you can't have not like a movie set where you're right. So there's no need for a second camera.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But two cameras allowed us to break apart and be shooting, let's say, Andy's single on the boat talking about, you know, with the mission accomplished sign, let's say, at the exact same time as Jorma making copies.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Don't be classy. That was for the SNL audience to kind of catch it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Do you remember this Andy? Why you gotta keep bringing up my bachelor party.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I mean, the night after we shot the video, we went out to a club and the dude who was showing us around had the DJ at the club put it on.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It went pretty good. Yeah. People did not stop dancing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, they're not hearing it's a joke. They're just hearing that great beat. Exactly. And then some guys kind of squawking rap so they can't quite tell what they're saying. And then T-Pain singing. And what's the difference? Might as well have just played the beat raw and people would have kept dancing. We get reports this and I Just Had Sex gets played in Thailand.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Friends will continually, once a year we'll get a text from someone randomly who's on tour somewhere in Vietnam or Thailand. They'll go, dude, I was just at a place and I Just Had Sex was playing non-ironically in a real place.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Hey, Quaid, what are you cooking? Is that mac and cheese?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I'm doing BTS for White Lotus. This would play in Australia, apparently. I'm on a boat would play on like Australian MTV just in rotation. But it would play backwards, right? Yeah. Of course. Yeah, because it's down under. So dope.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, we knew even if it didn't air on SNL, we were putting it out no matter what. Got it, got it, got it. Because we owned it, essentially, the label did, and the album was coming out, so we needed the promotion. It needed to come out one way or another. Right. We were releasing it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Exactly. So we were ready with both right off the bat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
By the way, it was fun as fuck. Like the stress of condensing the shoot was stressful. But then we were like in Miami shooting a music video.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I wish I remembered our wardrobe guy's name, who was our tour down there, too. He was so cool.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
What a great name. Max Pierre. He was great.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
That's the best. But yeah, he's the one that played the song, and he's the one that had access everywhere and knew everything to do, and it was such a blast getting to see Miami.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Not French. We went to Joe's Crab Shack, which was bomb as fuck. Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, also, and there was a hotel that Payne wanted to stay at. We didn't know where to stay. So we were just like, just put us at the hotel he requested. So we were at this really nice hotel. I want to say it was the Mandarin or something. I think it was just the Mandarin on Biscayne Bay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But I remember us pulling in and there were like two bright yellow Lamborghinis or something parked in front. And we were like, oh shit. And then we were like, you see those? And he's like, those are mine.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We were just living the fantasy life of I'm on a boat. Well, also, and then being like, sorry, we got to go do an MTV thing where we're pretending to be Daytona Screen Break.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But it was a weird reality folding in the way that Beastie Boys must have experienced a little bit where even though we weren't going to do any debauchery, we were pretending debauchery for an entire day with young people in bathing suits.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
acting like you're doing spring break so we were doing like a fantasy camp version like we're really cool guys yeah but none of it's real we were doing all the same things with the boats and the champagnes and the nightclubs and the and the mtv spring break and we're filming it really for mtv so the reality was like it was like cosplaying at the highest level um guys we hinted at it earlier andy you're great in this fucking best of keeve he goes so fucking hard
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Look how nicely we've got Jorm to be so involved in it that he feels like he's part of it to the audience. This is a video. Well, it wasn't quite a video invention, but it was an invention of the. So nice. No, it is, right? It's not on the album, the free boat ride thing. That's not on the album, right? No. So we invented an entire new concept to include Jorm that helps the whole video.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
When we were working on the video, we went, oh, here's how we do it. And it actually is the premise of the video now and taints the whole thing in a good way. Taint sounds negative. Right. It's historically negative. It paints it. There's a such thing as a good taint. Yeah, how about paints? Oh, yeah, sure. Sure.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I have many positive connotations with taint. Oh, my God. Okay, go on.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, that's one of those complex Eminem-style rhymes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We had an arc to the album. We shipped it down, too. It's in the vid. We were like, oh, my God, we got to get some. It was hard to find.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
They've never been on a boat before. This is what they think it's going to be like.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
They're regular Jews. I think all that is born out of them flipping burgers and you're flipping copies, right? And then we just had burgers handy and picked up some shots.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Balling out. I'm watching it on mute right now and it's just reminding me of some other things, which was like... So we had one day, we had this boat, we had to go out into open water and then drones weren't a thing yet. So we had to get a real helicopter and the helicopter was flown by exactly who you would think it would be, which was an ex-Vietnam pilot who had done this thousands of times.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And because of that, and you're going to lose time, that's also why we needed two cameras because a camera had to go on that helicopter and had to, or maybe it's a filming helicopter and it always would have a camera on it. I can't remember, but essentially somebody had to go.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No, no, for sure. But I don't know if you supply the camera that goes in that rig or not.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But there was a moment when, as the director, we would have to disappear to go on it, but we couldn't because we all had to be on this boat and be free to shoot. So we had the same team of this guy, Jonathan Lea and Robert Smythe, who had done Jizz. And Jonathan Lea volunteered to go on the helicopter and be the helicopter guy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
and who had done jizz the video jizz i know but it's just one i mean it makes me so happy that you said that i knew exactly what you meant and i'm like what a body of work thank you guys have that you can be like and then you know you do jizz we did jizz yeah the number of times we've casually called it that planning the tour so we'll go straight out of dick in a box and the jizz and then we'll do i think we should open with jizz yeah classy guys yeah
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So he was up in that helicopter, but it was an hour. It was basically like at a certain point he had to go get on that and we had to get into open water and just be on this boat. So I think we filmed the scene when we're underneath in the cabin of the boat with those big circle windows, like while the boat is booking out into the ocean.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Because you're not allowed to film in a helicopter in the bay. You can't bring a helicopter in there. So the boat had to go way further out to allow a helicopter, like at some GPS coordinate, to meet us in open water. So then we're now we're out in open water where it's way rockier and the boat is moving way more because we're not in a nice bay for filming.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And we have to go climb out into a part of the boat you're not supposed to be standing on in dress shoes. And they put like rubber on our shoes so that we hopefully don't fall off into the water and got the speakers hidden somewhere there so that they could blast it. He's on walkie. And all of a sudden we just see a helicopter come up and they're like, yep, it's us.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And I believe you're in the boat, right? Looking at a monitor.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, you're hiding in the boat with the crew that was on the boat with us with a walkie talking to Jonathan in the helicopter calling out when like, all right, three, two, one, I'm hitting playback because he can't hear the music either. And then the helicopter knows when to like come in on us. Yes. And it was the craziest. It's still the craziest shoot I've ever been on at that moment.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You see the wind on us. That's wind from the chopper. And it was getting so close to get the shots. And we could barely hear the music because it's so loud. I've never had a helicopter get that close in any other... And even T-Pain was looking at us like, holy shit, what are we doing?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It was definitely the moment we reached another level of how big and crazy we were going, obviously. But... we were not unaware of that fact. Like as it was happening, we were like, how fucking far are we going to take these dumb ass songs? Like, like we are fully shooting a crazy ass, huge baller video for a record label right now off the coast of Miami with a helicopter and a yacht.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It felt massive and insane. The only other setup we ever did that came close was a roof of the Met life building for just had sex. Yeah. But this was the first time we did it like this. And it was, we couldn't believe it. Our minds were blown.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, yeah, but it's real, but it's comped. It was even in the same shot, the helicopter came. It just came at the wrong timing for it to look like a cool shot. That's not even like a VFX comp. That's just me in Final Cut Pro. It's like a split screen where I'm just grabbing the helicopter from like 20 seconds later and moving it to the time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. One is just untouched and one of them is lightly touched, but it's still the same thing. But yeah, I just changed the timing of it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
When you did that shot though, Keev, I remember being in edit and it's the closest we've ever been to like being like how Travis Scott's friends all are when he first plays them his songs. Yeah, being like...
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You slid the shot in half of the split screen!
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But if you want to jump to that night to what Seth was talking about and what you're talking about, I remember feeling disappointed.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Do you want to talk about the footage situation?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I mean, we could talk about for a second. I don't know how interesting it is, but yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So one of the crazy things along the journey of the video was that. I guess the DP made the choice.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, who we used again. What did we use Aaron Platt? It was Aaron Platt. And we used him again on something more recent. Oh, you know what he did? When we did a reshoot on Popstar, when we were getting additional stuff for videos, he shot like the Emma Stone music video on Popstar, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Nice guy, fun dude. Yes. And could really shoot. Keeve specifically, I believe, had asked him to make it feel really frenetic and crazy. Yes. And he was doing this trick while he was shooting footage where he was popping the lens in and out. Which is great. He was popping it off of the camera. Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So I just have this vivid memory, Keith, correct me if you feel this is different, of going in there the first day of looking at the footage. We shot it on an off week, and then top of the week of SNL, we started cutting at 30 Rock. and going in and looking through the footage and being like, we can't make the video. It's all just fucking flares. There's no fucking footage.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I don't have a take of the jokes, of the lines. I can't see anyone's face when we're saying the fucking lines. Like, super in a spiral. And I remember being like, looking at it with you, being like, okay, calm down, I'm sure it's fine. And then looking with you and being like, oh shit. There's not a lot of options here.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And Keeve, bless your heart, grinded that fucking edit from Monday till Saturday.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It took a lot longer to edit than other things.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Pulling tiny little moments from every single moment. When you see the finished product, you would never know it because it's so high energy and dope. And in the end, I'm actually glad it was shot that way because it gives it this freneticism that is fucking incredible.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We got all kinds of credits on that movie. Producers, actors, writers. Two out of three of us were directors.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But it was like, if you are seeing a shot in that video, there is no second option of that shot that was usable.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
That's what it really was. You're just seeing all the parts and it worked and we got lucky or whatever you want to call it. And he did a great job. But yes, there were moments where it was like, there's a lot in here that the shot we planned is not the shot that's in. Because I'd go to the shot that was planned for whatever it is, like holding champagne.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And I'd go, oh, all of them are out of focus. We can't do the shot of champagne. And then slowly, as we went through all of it, we would find a different take that was rad at that moment.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And there was a second part of it, too, which was there'd be tons of setups where all of a sudden you'd be like, oh, here we go. Here we go. It's clear. We can see. And then the boat would rock and one of us would fall super hard.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You definitely see the confidence like go out of our face a lot. Yes, yes. Where it wouldn't be necessarily a fall like something that would be funny to see, but it'd be like we're trying to seem like we're the most confident guys in the boat and you'd feel us like.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
All right. So then let's go to the airing at the show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. Are you good? Are you good, Keith, by the way? I think I do. I'm going to probably just bail in like five minutes and just be gone. But you guys keep going.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
That guy's really proud of being on a boat so much that he's proud that the engine makes noise. Yeah. And it was quite noisy down there. I don't know. Did we use a shot from down there? I don't think we ever did.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I don't think we did. Do I say it on camera as another kind of... There's definitely a couple of little snippets of it from when you're down by the boat engine. But it just looks like pipes or something.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. I'm going to ask him after he retires, buddy. Oh, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I'm looking at the video. The boat engine make noise is a shot of me fucking with your arm, like touching your head or, you know, messing with you. So it totally works, but it is not what we intended.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Changes the game. I don't know what I expected from that audience, because it is all the things you said, loud and frenetic, and there aren't laugh spots. It's barely jokes, to Jorm's credit for saying stuff. It's conceptual, a joke, the whole thing, as opposed to... There aren't laugh moments.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But I remember it getting applause at the end, and I'm sure if we listen right now, we'll go, those are strong applause. But in my...
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
warped ears at that moment having worked so hard and having so much riding on it and feeling so strongly about it in the audience i felt like i don't know what i needed them to do stand up and do give us a standing o at the end of it i don't know what it would have made me happy but i remember having that reaction and going you know like a mix of like disappointment and the people at home are gonna know like excuses in my head like
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
This is an audience that just comes here and stays up all night to get tickets because they just want to see the laughs. They don't get what this is. This is for real people outside. Whatever my excuse is in my head, but I remember not being like, I was not feeling like high-fiving after it aired.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. Yeah. And I didn't. I was giving the extreme example of my thoughts. Like I also was like, no, I know that's good. And I felt good about it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But I keep it was twofold because I had the same reaction as you. Not exactly the same, but I remember being like it played OK. And part of that was, you know, at this point we had done a lot of them where it played crazy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Right. In the studio. Right. Where we'd be like, fuck, that just smashed. And it feels insane for you when it happens and you've made something and you feel so happy. And so this one, for such a long windup of having written it the summer before, people all being like, that one feels like it could be a hit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Then going to Miami, spending all the money from the label, pulling out the edit, and then being like, fuck, here we go. The buildup at SNL is never that long. It's always like, I thought of this two days ago, and now it's on the show. So the expectation of it was like... And also, like you said, this is the one that's hopefully going to kick off the album soon. because it's coming out so soon.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And then the reaction couldn't help but feel a little bit like a letdown. And then I feel like also people at the show were like, hey, good job.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
That was it too. Like if you went on internal SNL politics of people being nice to us, like the Reba short is diamond, you know, like 10 times platinum. Like it was after that aired, the way Lauren congratulated me, you'd think we had just made I'm on a boat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I don't get it. The blocking was wonky. What was that?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
to how the world works and the way everyone like every other castmate or Higgins would be like now that's good and when this aired people didn't kind of say shit or they went hey nice one tonight as if it was any other like you know small like the third blizzard man or something
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, Seth, you're the only one that wasn't us. What was your vibe of yourself and other people when that one aired?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Totally fair. I mean, I don't think any of us thought it was our funniest song. And I will also say, in a way, we didn't even realize that it was more broad than we understood, which is a mistake we always make as viewers, where I'll see something and I'll be like, that was whatever. And then it explodes because normies are like... I understand it like this. You know what I mean?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It was also for them. It wasn't just making fun of them.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It was also for them. Did we think for the next 10 years people were going to be like, we played that shit at Lake Havasu. We were just like, what?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I mean, that's the best. That absolutely rules. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Guys, I told my fellow podcasters that I have to, I had a very hard out here for my family. Yeah. So my apologies to the Quaid Army, but I'm bailing here. If there's more to talk about this next step, I'd happy to pick it on up.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Can I just say one last thing? Yeah. Because Jorm, you're my dear friend. And I can see that you're a little still maybe sore about not being on the song. But I do want to just point out, we have a history of this. And I never complained when in four iterations, I was referred to as Steve the ****. Who invited Steve? That dude's a ****.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And there I was, front and center for my close-up. Yeah. Just happy to be included. You know what I mean? Yeah. Just happy to be included, my man.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So just be classy. You know what I'm saying?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Honestly, there's lots more to talk about about I'm on a boat. But this was a ton.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Love you. Love you. You are my, I especially love you. I love you too. Always.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat

The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Oh, by all means. I hope it's better than the stripper sketch from last week. It is.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
flat read there too i did kind of run it through and i'm like no it's better okay it's not great but it's better that was that was you thinking about it i did text with klein about the stripper sketch and we were like obviously we were still learning uh and if we were to do it today the nipples would have come out on page three right it's technically page two and a half
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Right. Because it's a long ass walk and their legs were tired.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Wow. Two for two. I feel like that's the only Icelandic celebrity that has ever been portrayed on the show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We name check Dennis Franz and we show. And like NYPD Blue, we had the courage to drop our Chicago accents.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Were you bummed you didn't get asked to audition for Snarf in the new Masters of the Universe movie?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Okay, that's fair. So I can save the questions that are similar to that one moving forward. Thank you for that info.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, yeah. Are you bummed you didn't get asked to audition for Complete Unknown? By the way, we never talked about, I'm derailing Seth's corner. I'm sorry.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, a long time ago, we talked about the Elvis auditions, which was really fun. And we didn't ever talk about what those Complete Unknown auditions must be like.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Hey, what's up, Andy? Hey, how's it going? Auditioning for Bob Dylan, Complete Unknown.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Wow, warm room. I was not expecting that. Thank you very much. That helps me relax.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. Let me know if you need, like, a stoner in the background or something. Somebody who, like, he's really, like, rude to and then gets the best of.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I'm pretty sure I blew out the mic. I didn't know the song choice.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No. I didn't know that. Girl from the North Country, I had a Talking Heads shuffle channel on this morning, and it started playing the one with Johnny Cash when he stopped smoking, when Dylan stopped smoking. Oh, did that change his voice significantly? Well, yeah, I immediately yelled out, Girl from the North Country, everyone's favorite version.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I think it's BS and he just decided to change it and make it sound like a Muppet. Yeah. It was an ad for smoking. It's that voice, right? Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
If I start smoking, how long till I have a cool raspy voice?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Maybe the most ham performance of Akiva's career.

Yeah. Everyone's a critic. Is it Criterion? I don't know. I'm going to say not. In some ways, it is to me because it feels so different from all the others. And I'm always very into when we branch into different things. Like, again, if it was a true Criterion or the old school SNL best of DVD, it's... Just having it be song after song wouldn't feel that good.

Fred did such a good job as the auctioneer, and I loved the dialogue that we even wrote for him. It's perfectly whatever that is. But because you guys are yourselves, it's Andy, it's Paul Rudd, it starts in the dressing room. At that moment, this time watching, even though I thought Fred was great, I kind of wished we had just got all outside SNL actors so you guys were just in the real world.

And then we got another person, Melissa, sent us a shirt that we talked about how we always had one of our roadies meet whoever was there with a kind of fill-in-the-blank shirt we made that says, I came to party with the Lonely Island on. And then in Sharpie, this looks like maybe my handwriting.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
June 21st at the Duane Reade in NYC. So it's like an official Mad Libs shirt that we had that we would fill out every night. That's a fun one. It's very good. And then here's a picture as a bonus of Seth, who I forgot, did he do a set of comedy when we played Pier 17 in New York or did he just come out and intro us? I don't know.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I think that might be true. I think maybe Connor O'Malley did this one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
We would always have comedians we like open for us. And then if somebody else was around, we'd have them come intro us, like Tim Robinson introed us in Detroit, that sort of thing. But Tim Meadows opened. Opened.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
We had the two best Detroit Tims. Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, Danny Brown came out and did Lazy Sunday. That was nuts. Jeff, Jeff, you got to have the next one just sitting there so when we're going, I can just rail right into it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And if it's going to be an audio, if it's going to be an audio one, just put audio one next and then I'll throw to that. I have an actual question. Sometimes when we're getting these voice notes and sometimes when I went online and looked at comments, there's people on YouTube going, where do you send a voice note? How do you get a voice note in?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And I'm like, I have no clue where these are coming from. Jeff, will you tell us where do the voice notes come from? If somebody wants to send us a voice question.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Ah, there's a link in the Instagram bio for people who want to send it. You can just leave your voice in there, Jeff. We don't have to edit you out. It's fine. All right. This is from Allie. Hi, guys. Listening to the newest episode on the classic and certainly Criterion Collection short, Jizz in My Pants, and thought the intro for today's episode sounded a lot like Kristen Wiig singing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I guess I have two questions. One, am I right? Did I totally nail that? Two, where did you get those intros from? Who, what, when, where? Long-time listener, first-time emailer. Thanks for making my commute more fun. So I'll answer two first, and then you can talk about the wig one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
This guy, Greg Chun, who we've known for years and is a musician, and is always our first call when we have something that is actually musical that we need to do real. He's just very good at picking up the phone, and he's very talented. A little bit of trivia on him. If you watch Squid Game, but you do it dubbed, he's the voice of the main dude in Squid Game for American audiences.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
These are all sent with love, I think. I'm going to just read some from the very top.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Because he also does a lot of VO. So whenever there's little things like this, he's always the first person any of us are texting. He did all the music for the Michael Bolton Valentine's Day special. He did, when Andy hosted the Emmys, he did the opening musical kind of song.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I bet you his voice is even on there. And so, yeah. So we love this guy. And so every like once a month, he'll just text us like five new ones that are random. And then the wig one, she texted it to your Machapella. And I'm not sure why.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And honestly, it wasn't even us. She just did it. And then Greg Chun just made it musical and surprised all of us, actually. So that's how great it was. All right. Was there something else?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Which one is Andy? Shots holstered. Compliment deployed. All right. We have an audio message. Let's rock it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
It's up to every parent how they want to raise their child. And, you know, at least they're telling her that these are jokes for home and don't bring it to the school. We don't know how old that person was. You know what I mean? No, I'm just going off what she said, that she can't say that she's not allowed to talk about sushi girl at school.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
First off, let's just say, what's going to happen? We don't have Seth.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yep. It was Forrest. It was Forrest Whitaker in character as Edie Amin.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Do you remember the scene in the Idi Amin movie that I forget the title of where James McAvoy comes in as his doctor and he's just saying he has such extreme stomach pain and then he takes like a baseball bat and holds it against Idi Amin's stomach from behind like doing the Heimlich maneuver.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Until he just farts for like 45 second fart. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Last King of Scotland. There you go. Yeah, and Last King of Scotland, Kevin, reminds me of the title. It's such a serious, like, tense movie, and then there's just a 45-second part.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, he doesn't talk about what it smelled like. But there was so much relief between them both.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
It might be in a studio movie, like a real movie.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, I don't know that Dumb and Dumber, I don't know that they have a single fart that goes that long.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
But that's indie. Those are indie farts. A24, yeah, you start including A24, you're going to have the farts. The farts are going to go crazy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
We're talking majors, just from the studios. Oh, my God. They don't have the same checks and balances at age 24. They can just kind of let it go.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
All right, this next one is from Nick, and he grew up in Foggy London Town. I don't have a good British accent, so, you know, one of you. No, we try. One of you Anglophiles have to do it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Hey, guys. Growing up in Foggy London Town, we didn't get SNL on TV. Wow. But I've been a fan of The Lonely Island ever since I stumbled across the shorts on YouTube as a teenager. I remember listening to the Incredibat album at the original HMV on Oxford Street like it was holy scripture. What did HMV stand for again?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Really? It's like a Best Buy kind of thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Well, we've also settled that you guys were doing German accents from somebody who learned in Germany from a British teacher.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Or was it a beautiful transatlantic double entendre that covered both? If so, righteous kill. Love all four of you so much. It gets a bit lonely working from home every day, but every Tuesday I get to feel like I'm taking the piss with some old mates.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote, this vest seems destined to conceal a quaddo. And then he also said that he's laughing so hard at all the comments. Thank you, Quaid Army. I also want to thank the Quaid Army for just snuggling in with that name so hard. I'm just going to read, I guess these are the top ones. I don't know how it organized it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
The Quaid army is widening out the dream.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's also because just you generally would say like, I piss my pants. You don't go, oh, I piss my underpants. Although I guess some people.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
We pivoted to pants and there is his story.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
All right. We got an audio message next. Roll it. Roll it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah. Yeah, he's remembering just a lapel pin. Kevin says, I think it is an Order of Canada pin.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
This person wrote, also wish I had Yorm's memory so I could forget I ever saw this vest.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
My Order of Canada pin. Oh, yeah. Look at that. It's got a little it's got a little maple leaf in the middle. Oh, it does. OK.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, I love it. Next question. All right. This is from Anna or Anna. Hi, Lonely Island and Seth Meyers. I am a third grade teacher and I like to expose my children to cool pop culture things. What sketch or digital short would each of you pick to be in your comedy for kids class? That's kind of like in quotes and it's with Ks, comedy for kids class.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
What are your own kids' favorite songs or sketches? Do they know you had a dope past? Anyways, I hope you read this on air to my fellow Quades. Love you guys. I love having it on the record that we have a dope past. I wonder if they know that their teacher's a Quade.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
gonna have to answer to the board wait what are your guys i actually want to know and i think that we should not pick things from snl uh potentially on this answer but that's my own opinion from my kids they don't give it up they're just like classic kids who won't give it up for my stuff in general oh your kids they won't give it up for how dope you are but what do they like one of my daughters likes uh sushi glory hole i know that i guess it felt more fresh when i play the old things they kind of go uh-huh
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's mean. A lot of people said, I don't know what I expected, but this isn't it. That seemed like a pretty common one.

Listener Q&A Episode 6
You took it as which sketch or digital short would you pick just so it could be anything at that point?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I was going to say that in general, Throat on the Ground seems to be the one kids like.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
When we were doing sound mix and color for the last season of I Think You Should Leave, they kept sending it and then I'd watch it just to kind of double check that I didn't catch something. And I'd say I have homework because I was with the kids and I'd be like, it's like six o'clock and they need the notes by nine. And I'd go, guys, I have homework. I have to watch this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And one time one of my daughters decided to sit there and she sat down and started watching and was like, this is your homework? Yeah. And she's too young for it and loves it and does get it. And now it kind of talks a little like Tim, which I'm sure has happened to a lot of people around the world who like I Think You Should Leave, where his unique speech patterns kind of infect your brain.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And she wanted to watch more and has now watched every sketch, except for there's a few I still skip. But she basically can quote a bunch of them and does. I don't know if we really answered, but here we go. Thanks for calling in, Anna or Anna.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
All right. He doesn't get to answer one. Oh, did you have some, Andy?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I thought you guys were being hard on him, but actually you were being really easy on him.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Great. That sketch from the movie. Redefined comedy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's good. This person says, and this is why Andy said he would go to Kiev first for the fashion advice. It's a good callback to earlier. Shots fired. Shots fired and hit. Quaid Army official uniform.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Okay. Next up, we have an audio one. Go ahead.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
The same outfit every day. Yeah. I have one of the other rod capes just folded in a container somewhere in my closet.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah. Yeah, but for the amount of things we did, I pretty much have nothing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Well, it's weird because when a movie wraps, it all belongs to the studio. And if they need it for additional photography, it all gets packed away very meticulously. It's not a free for all. Same with the costumes. And then at some point you talk to people who are like, oh, yeah, I bought that at an auction or it got thrown away in a dumpster.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's right. Different kind of guard. Andy did say that Jorma takes the most risks in his wardrobe. That's true. That was your quote.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And you're like, oh, I wish somebody would call me a year later when they're like, hey, we're getting rid of all this stuff.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
But now it's at the Smithsonian. What are you going to do?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I got the props. Well, we know it's Buckshot and Five Foot Evil D and Buckshot. Oh, yeah. Three guys got the props. Got the props. Just like us three guys.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah. For those who don't know, it was a song from 1993. I guess you can just Google it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
All right. I guess we have another audio one. Kick it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
This person wrote, they hate to see a sleeveless Quaid coming. That's right. I do.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I thought the damn album was just full of great jokes and I was laughing all the time. And I thought, oh my God, we've got a competition. And then someone said, no.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's a good verse. That's just lessons for the kids.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
If Baja Fresh is even still in business, tell us what a Dos Manos cost. Hey, Quaid Army, let's hear from you. We got a caller on the line. Go ahead.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That guy had a real train spotting vibe going on.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I don't even know if they make it anymore. I'm on their official website.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Guys, without Seth here, we can talk about things like there used to be Baja Freshes all over Los Angeles. And now I don't know where even any of them are.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I mean, the one we've always talked about was Laser Cats. Yes. You do like the high end meets low end, whatever it is.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, it was cold nights, but not that he has the same vest. It was literally Jorma's vest.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I always enjoyed every one of them.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Because they're at least silly and fun and they are a genuine effort, even if they don't quite some of them don't hold up as well as others.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I wish we still lived in a world where, again, major studios, no offense to the longer farting ones that can, because they don't have any, they can do anything they want. But like the ones where there are rules.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
putting real money how fun would it be you know this summer be seeing some snl i don't even want to guess what they would be but just those kind of movies that are now extinct i would love to see them right like almost like a big swing like really going for a joke movie like i don't know what exists like that well that could be coming out maybe even in august oh good oh god if someone could bring those back i'd pat that guy on the back
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
You know who I love is that Liam Neeson guy. I'd buy that guy a beer. I'd say, hey, thanks for bringing back comedy. You know what I mean? That guy?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Keep in mind that maybe he's semi-gluten intolerant and actually can't drink very many beers without starting to feel a little sick. So maybe I'd give him a voucher for one later or something rather than trying to have it right there. Or what kind of thing could he drink, do you think, if he was over his gluten? It's more important that he gets credits for room service later or something.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
So it's more like just putting in cash towards the...
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Did he have a hooded sweatshirt on under it? He had something puffier underneath.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
All right, this one comes from Ash. Since you funny fellas covered the Incredibat album, I've always been curious as to whose hand is whose on the album cover. I have my guess, and I am afraid that if I never get the answer, I might have to live slightly uncomfortable for the rest of my life. Love you guys.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
It's all been airbrushed, though. Yeah. I mean, just cleaned up.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, it's all of our right hands. We are all right-handed.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I was still straight edge, so they had to clean up my axes. God.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And he had it unzipped as well. It just looked like a crew guy, like a more natural fit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I just had those things from, again, don't try to buy me beers. Come on.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
You're on the far right. Andy's in the middle. Wait, really? I think. I think I'm the one having to really twist my hand on the left there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, yeah. That's definitely me on the other side.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, Jorm's henna. All right, we got an audio one coming up next. Let's hit it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I did actually think that was what he was talking about first. I also thought that at first.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And is it a button you hit saying, do you want a hint? And if you hit it, you know the first hint's just going to be like, there are 62 words today.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Well, that's what I was wondering is how do you avoid getting a spoiler you didn't want?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Obviously the feeling is mutual from Andy and Seth. Me and Jorm are, we just watch TV and cartoons and stuff.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I mean, it's just because we don't have Seth, we didn't want to go further into sketches. So this is like filler and just like trash episode. Like a bag of trash episode. Give it on the hard sell. Anyway, be sure to listen to the whole fucking thing. We got a bunch of Q&As.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's so hard and so frustrating. I can't even imagine.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
As puzzlers, there's a little trivia for you. I directed a Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode, and Will Shorts, the famous crosswords creator from your times, was in it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Oh, my God. That's very exciting. He was a treat. That was very fun. He kept just bragging about books that he had read. I read the whole thing. And we were like, all right, cool. I would assume you'd finish it if you started. He's like, yeah. You know my pages? He kept asking if I knew how many pages books were.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And I'm like, that's not really even a thing anymore because it's like you can read on an iPad and you can make the font bigger and the page number will get longer. And he's like, yeah, but this was like the original print, like a hardcover. And I go, yeah, but then later it's a paperback. The page numbers change. Like you don't want to brag about page numbers. And he just wasn't hearing it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, it was weird. I put on an affectation, let's just call it, to be generous.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, it was weird. It was not okay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, I just wanted to big time him. Yeah.

The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Certainly the UK has a large amount of the best sketch shows of all time, at least English sketch shows, English language sketch shows.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Well, that's what I was going to say. This is not the first time it's done. There's a Korean one. Like if you type in, I'm just doing it right now to see if I can find a good one. Yeah, Saturday Night Live Korea has been going for 12 seasons. Wow. Oh, wow. So since we were at SNL, I remember when they started it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
No, I remember seeing, like, the Jonah Hill dad short we did. I remember seeing a shot-for-shot remake in Italian.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Uh, it was from 2006 to 2011. And then it was shortly revived again in 2018. So four seasons.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
It makes sense to me that there hasn't been a UK one because for a British performer who needs, who's promoting a movie, they can go on the American version. We all speak the same language. Yeah. But there's also never a shortage of people willing to host SNL. So I don't think they're going to be like competing for the hosts. Right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I wouldn't mind going and living in London. Maybe I throw my hat in the ring. I don't know, host update much?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
All right, Sarah says, hey, besties, please read it out like that. I think I did. I've been a fan since 2006, and I'm a fellow Bay Area and Jewish. Well, that's only fellow to some of us. And my dad and I watch day drinking with Seth every time I'm home. Love your work. Hope it takes off one day. I saw Lonely Island in concert in Anaheim in June 2019 and it was the best day of my life.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
No one loves pop star like me and when you performed Finest Girl, I was the only one in the front section that knew the words and was hype. Andy missed the dance cue because we were yelling at each other.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, this is a backhanded compliment. When you threw XXL shirts, I tried to jump up and catch one and missed because I'm 5'4 and consumed by anger. The guy behind me caught it and handed it to me like a gentleman. He and I got to talking, exchanged numbers, and long story short, we're getting married.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
The wedding's in May in Long Beach. I just wanted you to know that even on my wedding day to this magnificent man, that day seeing you in concert will still be the best day in my life. I'm still waiting in the TJ Maxx parking lot. That's where we book the reception.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Every night he did it 100% perfect.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
He did. So he did one solid before he got on a plane, which was that he texted his drinking buddy, Paul Rudd. I say drinking buddy because they did the day drinking, which was delightful.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's not a clean one. That Anaheim show was a lot of fun and it was the most intimate show we did because technically it was before the tour. It was not an announced one, so to speak. It was a practice show that we did a week before going on tour or a few days. But it was teeny compared to every other venue because we just wanted to see what worked.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And at the end of it, after I'm on a boat, we were having so much fun. And it was so intimate with just like maybe 500 people or something that we were like, should we just try some other things? So then we tried to do Incredibad live. That's right. Even though we had not really rehearsed it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
And we were kind of a mess because it's so much back and forth. It's when we don't remember whose line is whose. It was okay. But then as soon as we got off stage, we were like, end it, I'm on a boat. Yep, yep, end it, I'm on a boat. And we never did it again. It was very cool.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Okay. Okay. That's why you experiment. That's why you do practice shows.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Okay, so Ryan J. Hurdle said that it looks like Yoram's picking up trash on the side of the highway, but they gave him a vest that would make sure he'd get run over.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's a last vest comment, just to kind of bookend the episode.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Do we want to put in something at the end of this that's a secret message for Seth to test whether or not he listened?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
It could just be as simple as a color, like the color is periwinkle. And we go, Seth, how'd you like the pod? And he's like, I loved it. What was the color? And I'll go, huh?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Quaid Army, officially the Periwinkle players.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I don't know if anybody's ready for that answer. I'm scared of it, to be honest. Yeah, that's probably right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
He FaceTimed in so we could see him. Are you at the bar mitzvah?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
So go check that out on YouTube, everybody. So this was, again, in regards to everyone's a critic and to we knew we had given him the painting. And where is it? And that was the question.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Wait, wait, Seth, is this your bar mitzvah? Oh, he's like Drake in that music video. He's doing a late-in-life bar mitzvah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
There might be some we missed. We just did a cursory. I mean, there's almost a thousand comments.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's okay. We were just wrapping up, so this can be the wrap up.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, it doesn't have to be on the floor of the closet.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Yeah, what's your second? We're leaving a room.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's how quickly they go, guys. We just saw one. It's rare to see a thought forget in real time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
This is it. We are mid-show. We got no Seth. We are floundering. This is going to be a 15-minuter.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That would keep it on track and moving forward. And now look at him.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Jeff, throw something in there so that when we need something, it's there. Give us things to comment on, Jeff. Every time we're starting one, have the next one there. So when we're gasping for air, there's a breath. You know what I mean?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
All right, so Jeff is one of the producers over here, and he's going to be just feeding us that. We are a car? The lonely auto.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6

The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
This is the next one. Ready? Yes. People have let us know that you can say jizz after 9 p.m. in the UK. Oh, even earlier. Does that mean multiple people said 9 p.m. is the jizz starting cutoff?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
Wow. I told you guys, they're not tripping there. I know, but is that official? This is written like multiple people weighed in to be like 9 p.m.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
No, because that's too close to tea time. Interesting.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
So both of you guys spent extended time there. What is the tea that's in the mid-morning, like the 11 a.m. one called? Do you guys know? There's like a really cute name for the 11 a.m. tea.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
That's it. I literally couldn't remember it. It seems like I should have since I said the word eleven. But that's it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
All right. So a couple people mentioned going to meet us at shows where they went to the place where they could fuck us. And then they sent photos. So we got a photo from Claire that is showing right there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
You did like that joke a lot, right? You, I think, more than anyone I know, like that song. And people like that song, but you like it. It maybe is your favorite of our songs.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Wait, Franz wasn't the first butt on network? No, God no.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Sorry, it's the butt that we most prefer. Yes. There's no such thing as a best or worst butt.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Okay, now guess what the internet says his net worth is.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Seth, did you just sort of like subtly let us know that Ike listens to the cast?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
I don't know either. He's never mentioned it to me.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah. Going to say if he was, if he does listen to the cast. Well, I can say it even if he doesn't. He's great on the studio.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah, melodically it veers into Morrissey territory also, which is fun.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
The scene of him with his daughters at Musso made me laugh really hard, too. I'm so sad. Just getting absolutely shit on. It was too real. It was too real.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
He's like, oh, hey, I got to take this. It's so-and-so. And he walks into his office, starts crying, and then does a bump of Coke and then walks back out and goes, all right, let's do this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah, yeah. Cornerstone of the personality.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
You know me well. Keeve, will you dismiss YouTube TV? Try it free. Or try it free.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
I don't know. Yeah, you could try it free.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
And there one of the Amigos is right in front of it. Yeah, one of the Amigos. That's nice.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
But you know what I will say? I like Lauren's performance up top here. I like his little look he gives after the amateur hour line. And I also like him saying, Steve, whatever you want, because it feels very real.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Well, you get laughs on it because they don't know what it is, so it's good that we did the credits again.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
So that's great. I mean, we like that long pause before the second shooting.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
I would have actually run out into the street if that was true.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah, I shouldn't have done them for free.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
This vibe is definitely that same thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
What's up with the necklace? This old thing? My no good father gave it to me before he left me and my mom. Years ago.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So maybe Rooster was Goose's dad. Yeah. Or, hear me out, they're the same person named Gooster. Okay. Hear me out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Or, or is Gooster a booster seat for a goose?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Sorry, my geese that are not yet big enough and heavy enough to just sit in the normal seats with a seatbelt.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Two famous people that I'm very well aware of both, and I had never made the connection. That's more what I was saying.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
It's A+. Not a lot of laughs, but it is a very well-executed sequence, and I like watching it. Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah. Here's a question. Do you think SNL folks last week or two weeks ago discussed doing a sketch called Chicago Pope? Like Chicago Hope?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
And by the way, this was before there were like a lot of people dressed up like animals really big. I mean, we were trailblazing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
I have both done that at Upfronts and joined you while you were doing it at Upfronts. That's right. Yeah. The year I hosted the Emmys, I was the actual Upfronts guy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Mr. Worldwide. There's a cat on a room that's spinning around. There's Simon Rich in the mirror holding the camera.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
On purpose, though. It's childhood fantasy. It's wish fulfillment of when you make your home videos as a kid. Yeah, 100%.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Because he looks like a little kid. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah. I think about how Forte says cyberface a lot. Yeah. Cyberface!
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah, we got Matt Yonks. Who else we got in there?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah, little Mike Poole. Both still there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Getting shot, and it cranks into slow-mo, and there's just a random person walking by in the background.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah. Yeah, you take off the glasses and it's like taking off the Darth Vader mask.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
I'm sorry I left you, son. It's okay, Dad. Don't die.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Pushes his own cheek and it says self-destruct.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
It's exactly what Cyberface would do. That's true.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
A little applause break, right? Is what you're looking for. Okay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
I was going to say 13, but yeah, let's agree somewhere between 10 and 13.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
It doesn't bring the house down, but it's got a lot of nice moves.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Look, we all know when you're making a series, you got to reset the premise.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
But they didn't say, and this week we'll show Dennis's butt.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Assuming you're watching the show on ABC where butts are allowed now.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
They sometimes just have to chant through the entire episode. And they're all doing the press tour and they're like, so you show your butt this year. And you're like, you know, it really is more about the stories. I'm kind of surprised everyone's so focused on the butt stuff. That definitely happened. Yeah. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Just Chicago to his core. So, LaserCats 4. Criterion?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Well, Keeve, we're the only ones left. Yeah, it's just us. We got tricked into doing a podcast and pretty much can't get everyone on one now.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
It's exactly the same, and we take it that seriously.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
It is selfless. And let me just say to you, I appreciate you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
And now that it's just us, I'll tell you this. I think you're the funniest.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Oh, you don't have to say that. We all know that's not true.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
It's like, what is this? The Max comedy special, Dad Man Walking? What? You mean the HBO, soon to be HBO Max. All right, we've reverted. This dad is walking. He's a man. He is upright. He's walking on two feet. Hey, save it for your next special, Seth.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
I don't know. Yeah, let us know if you were tired this week while you were listening. And also let us know if you had energy going in, but then listening to this made you tired, because I would understand that, too.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, not to be judging in real time, but I think we can all agree this episode was kind of a dusty fart. You're saying it while it's not.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
He couldn't hear us yet. He might be a ghost or like a phantom. He's the phantom of the pod. The phantom of the pod. Seth. Yeah. Rob Klein reminded me that we wrote something that went to the table the Rosario Dawson week. but obviously did not make it past the table. I have two guesses. He said he was surprised it didn't come up. Parakeet talk show? No, no, that's later. That's later.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
I believe it was me playing a male stripper who, upon taking off his shirt, had super long, stringy, rubbery nipples.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
No, no, no. We had so many duds. But I do remember that one. It was like a 20 percent of the room laughing really hard and the rest not. Yeah. Kind of a sitch.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah, yeah. I think he's having technical difficulties.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
It is funny, too, because every time I see him make a face, like, God.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
I'm connected and I can see everyone and hear them.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Seth Lee, I'll let you know I just watched the latest cut of The Naked Gun, and it's just fantastic. I mean, it's a real fun time. Chock full of bits and plenty to make you laugh very hard and feel happy about life.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah, it's very enjoyable. Nice to just have it be a thing that is trying to make you laugh the whole time. But also think, you know, and maybe feel really deep emotions.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Well, I'm not going to do it today because I already got Queen Bee, as you know, but ignored. Just checked out Andy is what I'm used to. Somebody didn't respond because he clearly didn't get Queen Bee. Here's a real quick recap. He's just going to let that go. Just won't acknowledge it because he knows he's not smart enough to get Queen Bee.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Keith, can you do a little Paradise City in the background while we read this?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
A fringed rawhide vest and a tiny mustache. Tight, mini afro, fringed rawhide vest and a tiny mustache. What is it? Yeah. Are you girls ready to party? Yeah. Woo. Well, you're in luck because this is my jam and I'm super horny.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Yeah, it's a classic let the host have fun and be into the weird thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Which one of you is the lucky lady? I am. Okay, it's me. It's you?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Oh, yeah, all this dancing is making my testicles so hot. I can't wait to come down here and show you guys my penis. Great. Are you ready? Are you ready for me to come down there?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
You want to see what I got? Yeah. Okay, ask and ye shall receive.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Before you say anything, Seth, it's bad.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
No one cared at all that it had returned, but then it did have good laughs, I thought, in it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
Well, we're jumping ahead. But Steve Martin asking Lorne if he got that it was King Lear, I thought was a funny joke. Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 4-ever
That's something he would pitch. One of the greatest comedians of all time, so sure, yeah, he had a good pitch.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
This episode of the Lonely Island Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Makers Mark. And I'm with some of my friends right now. Hi, guys. Hello. Hi. You know, Margie Samuels was a spirited woman. She was also the co-founder of Makers Mark. I don't have to tell you guys this stuff.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
All right, well, in honor of Women's History Month, we wanted to toast some of the spirited women in our lives.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah, you are in many ways as trailblazing as Margie Samuels-Yorm, and I've often said that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Way to land the plane, buddy. Thank you. Thank you, Seth. I want to tell a story about a spirited woman I saw during the 50th. And I was a little bit lucky because I was there on Friday for some rehearsal action. And I got to watch the Close Encounters rehearsal with Kate McKinnon. And I feel it's the most I've ever watched an actor's process. Guys, I'm going to wrap this up.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I know. And what I want to say to our listeners, I get it. You want to hear it because it sounds funny to you. And it was funny. It is not an audio experience that would be enjoyable.

Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb. Some trips are better in an Airbnb. When you're traveling with a group of friends, or maybe you're traveling with a large family or an extended family, or when you're looking for an authentic or local experience.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Hey everybody, obviously this podcast is about four friends hanging out, talking about old times, and we have taken trips... with our SNL writer friends. It was something we would do during our time at SNL. We went to Amsterdam once to hang out with my friends from Boom Chicago, which is the comedy theater I used to work at.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And we went out of our way to make sure we booked an Airbnb because we knew that our evenings would end and we would wanna go have a quiet hang with one another. And the bars were gonna be closed. and the hotel lobby was going to be closed. But with an Airbnb, we could find our way into a nice living room.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
We would have a kitchen where we bought the snacks we wanted to eat, maybe had a fridge full of beverages, both adult and otherwise. And those times, that hang, when we would all just settle in together, was one of the things that made that trip extra special. And it was all thanks to Airbnb and what it provides that other places don't.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
So when you're looking for an authentic or local experience, book your next awesome trip today at airbnb.com. So, you know, look, Fartface and Fall are two of the most memorable sketches that did not play at all, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Fartface died. Fartface died so much that it died at dress and somehow made it to air. And the famous story that Hater tells is that right before... Very cool. Nice, buddy. Andy got Queen Bee mid my setup to a story.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Before I go, I need to know how many queen bees I got. I only regret the time I spent with my family not chasing more bees. I gave up too soon too many times. Just to take them to and from school. Wasted hours. Oh, so Brolin said to Forte and Hayter right before they did the sketch at air, let's shut these fuckers up. Yeah, they've been laughing too much.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Is that real? That's real. Oh my God. He knew it had died at dress and then it was going to air. It was right after Adele and Update, both red hot. So by the way, that's Palin Rap closing update.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
The audience is as hot- The first American audience ever to see Adele into Weekend Update, into a Palin rap, and then into Fartface, which a man who called his shot, not since Babe Ruth has anybody called a shot better than Josh Brolin saying, let's shut these fuckers up. That's so awesome.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
When you called in and forgot there was a pod, that was perfect.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Well, here's how the sketch starts. And again, everybody go back and watch Fartface, just because now that we give it the historical context it deserves. Interior office, Will stands at a table, Bill enters. Hello, Jerry.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yes. And by the way, this is Forte Hater. I remember these guys definitely walking around the office screaming fart face at each other. It's like an album that does not quite get the attention it deserved at the time. But everybody at the record store is like, dude, you got to listen to fart face.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yes. With that said, if Mike D or Ed Rock are listening, do not go watch Fartface.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And then fall, the other thing about fall is this is sort of in the same way you were talking about a forte piece. James Anderson and Ken Sablette. Now, one of the things that's working against it, it's now the second half of the show, it is another office sketch. So Fartface took place in the entirety of an office. And now it's just a different part of an office. It's a boardroom.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And Josh Brolin comes in as the boss. He just gets caught talking about fall foliage.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
But again, music, just music. Also, it has a real surf meeting cadence to it. Has anyone seen the Fall Foliage? Quick, yes or no, starting with Tom. Fall Foliage, go. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No one? It's amazing. You know what? I was seriously thinking of putting together a fall foliage getaway just for us, just for everyone in this room to go and see the browns, the golds, and buttery golds.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Oh, my God. And then now, again, it's that great James and Ken thing where, because if you haven't seen it, you need to see it. The toasted oranges, the buttery rusts. The buttery rusts.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Somebody said buttery rust in front of James Anderson one time and it was over. That's all it took. He's like, oh yeah?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
But there you go. I mean, so again, here I am being like, you know, echoing what Keeve said. You're like, oh, it was the moment where everybody was watching. But there's something, there's a real nobility about the fact that the show had a couple of sketches in there that really do stand the test of time. Ish. Ish. They stand the test of being memorable.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Safety on. Yeah, exactly. Nerf gun holstered.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Ham shows up. We all know him as Don Draper. Everybody dresses up as a madman character. We've never did this before. For my knowledge, never did it since. We all dress up like we are working at Sterling Draper Price.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
You thought it was crazy, dudes. You thought it took place in an insane asylum.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
We didn't take the assignment seriously. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It was a delight. He was a delight. The show was great. And looking at it, the writers' names who are on this episode is a real reminder that it was Anne Golden era, not just for cast, but writers as well. Downey wrote a cold open. Simon and Mulaney wrote the ham monologue. And then, trick or treat, Jeff Montgomery, the first appearance of Jeff Montgomery. A perfect sketch?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I think I look pretty good. Yeah, you're not bad. All right, we're looking at it now. Yeah, I think I look good. Oh, yeah, you're fine, Andy. Yeah. You're fine. You know what I think happened, though? I think wardrobe helped out. Oh, yeah. And I've got a little cigarette. I mean, it's a bummer right now, Keev, that you're not in this picture.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I will say that Sudeikis most looks like he could be on Mad Men. Lutz. Lutz. Sudeikis, Lutz, and- Yeah, Lutz really is pulling it off.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Joan? I can't quite remember who Bill's doing. This is good podcast material, just four guys looking at a picture and talking about it. The amount that I'm trying to do the podcast and you guys are all like, hold on, I'm looking at a picture. You know what? Fuck you, Seth. You fucking elitist bitch. Every one of you just goes glassy-eyed as I'm trying to set up.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Jeff Montgomery, Trick or Treat. You guys remember Jeff Montgomery? Oh, yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah, it's a pedophile sketch, but this one absolutely threads that needle. If somebody said I'm working on a pedophile sketch, you wouldn't be excited, but this one threads the needle.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Jost, Forte, Solomon. But it feels like there's some Jostian flares, flourishes. Sure, sure.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Which he probably does next time we have dinner.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Oh my God. What was the outfit he wore that we just laid into him for the entirety of the dinner? Was it like the flight suit?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
He also, he came to another one you weren't at, Andy. He came in a full jumpsuit. And he said, was like, sorry I'm late. I just got off a plane. And I think Klein was like, as the pilot? So Ham, what a perfect straight man in this sketch. Couple of kids getting some candy and then Forte shows up looking like a pedophile, like members only jacket, mustache, glasses.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And then immediately his first line is real Jost plus Forte plus Solomon writing. Drink a treat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Immediately insane. With that said, though, in the best way, because this is a premise sketch, this line does not serve the premise, but it's comedy and people are super enjoying it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And then Ham says, aren't you a little old to be trick-or-treating? And then Will says, is 43 too old to be in the Halloween spirit? And by spirit, I don't mean ghost. I'm not that old.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And then Ham just leaves. It shuts the door on him. Yeah. And then Will immediately rings the doorbell again. Says, I'm new to the neighborhood. Sorry for being so awkward. John, that's quite all right. Jeff Montgomery, pleased to meet you. And then John's like, once again, you know, didn't make up for my behavior, but will you accept a Reese's peanut butter cup?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Forte starts taking every single piece of candy out of the bowl. Another thing that just gets a laugh that is not really the premise yet. Yep. And then, by the way, we're only a minute in, so this sketch flies to the premise. John, out of curiosity, what exactly is your Halloween costume? Deadpan Will, I'm a sex offender. Excuse me? I'm a sex offender.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And may I just say, to steal your entry to the sentence line... I had a fear. Yoram, I'm so happy you said that because I had a fear over the course of the Ross Trent record. Is this too granular? And based on what I've read and heard about it, most people agree with Yoram. I think people really liked the deep dive of that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It's so dark. John, what am I signing? Will laughing. Oh, you'll get a kick out of this. You see, as part of my costume, I'm having everyone sign this form acknowledging that there's a sex offender living in the neighborhood, et cetera, et cetera. Damn it. And then John, let's just be clear on something.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Is sex offender your Halloween costume or are you fulfilling a legal obligation to declare yourself a sex offender? uh, will Bob lighten up? It's Halloween. And then, uh, cause I'm reading the air script where you can see if something new is written in. This is a line added between dresser air.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And oftentimes between dresser air, you are either cutting something that didn't work or just trying to beat something that didn't work. This is a rare case of, they just added this line that gets a big laugh between dress and air. So nothing was broken. They just made it a little bit better. Uh, This was in. Bob, lighten up. It's Halloween. This is added. Besides, this is a tradition.

I do it any time I move to a new town. John, are you Jeff Montgomery, a registered sex offender? Will, am I Jeff Montgomery, a registered sex offender on Halloween? Yes. John, what about not on Halloween? Yes, even when it's not Halloween, I'm still Jeff Montgomery. Oh, God. John, a sex offender?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
John, one last chance and I will check with the police on this. Do you have a criminal record? Absolutely not. If I'm guilty of any crime, it's the crime of sexually assaulting five teenagers. Then I know you have to do that for the podcast. You have to be like, oh. By the way, I'm sure the first draft was worse. It's both. But then, because this line exactly gets a reaction from the audience.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Everybody's like, oh. And the two of them just stare at each other. Now, we all know Forte is never going to break. One of the all-time great starers. Jon Hamm's ability to stare back at him. The two of them just staring at each other. There is a rolling laugh. And it is two guys just crushing it by doing nothing except saying in the moment. Yep. And then last line of the sketch.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Now, this is going to sound like a terrible segue, but are you? What do you think a terrible segue might be?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I'm going to tell you one of the nicest things about reading this script again. Eight pages. I mean, not a second of fat. Wow.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Eight for a sketch that feels like a full sketch is very hard to do. Agreed. I feel like they always feel like, oh, that was a short one. I don't even remember that sketch as a short one.

Support comes from ExpressVPN. Guys, you're online a lot. Oh, all the time. I love being online. But do you want everybody to know what you're doing online and just people?

Internet service providers, including mobile network providers, know every single website you visit. Keeve, Yorm.

The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah, bad news there. And in the U.S., ISPs are legally allowed to sell that information to advertisers. Well, ExpressVPN, one of our sponsors, reroutes 100% of your traffic through secure, encrypted servers so your ISP can't see your browsing history. Let me tell you why I like it. I bought a pair of Hoka shoes. Okay. Already embarrassing.

I swear to God, 85% of my banner ads are for Hoka shoes now. I wish my internet didn't know that I bought them once.

You don't need to do that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode

The Jon Hamm Episode
One was the cold open address and then got moved into the body of the show. And it was a sketch. I remember I loved rehearsing because it was pretty much all of us. It was Fred is Obama and Maya is Michelle Obama rehearsing. And they were basically doing a concert because they were so far ahead, they were definitely going to win. And so it was just a lot of them singing solid as Barack.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It was a lot of fun of them doing songs. Andy, you were in it as Rahm Emanuel. You sang Our House with Kristen as Nancy Pelosi. Was that my first ROM? I think it must have been. Yeah. Bobby is Barney Frank. Jason is Joe Biden. So again, we're getting the whole crew in there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
My favorite moment rewatching it was things are going so well in the polls where you're even going to see Reverend Jeremiah Wright and University of Illinois at Chicago professor Bill Ayers. Those were two of the problematic people. Those were like the Fox News would rant about those people.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And then what I forgot that they were sitting exactly like CeeLo and Danger Mouse and saying white devils be crazy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It was very fun. But I remember rehearsing that. We were all on the floor. Ham was in it. And it was the last thing we rehearsed. And it was that night Amy had her baby, because this was late Friday. And we were all doing the blocking for the sketch. And we were all laughing very hard. It was one of those really nice nights where everybody was together.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And I remember that Fred and Maya were doing a bit where it was like the SNL 80th. Oh, yeah. Where they were coming on stage as like really old people doing Noonie, the Noonie sketch. I remember that. And it's so funny that that was whatever, 15 years before the 50th. It's so much closer to being true now, but it was a lot of Fred being like, Noonie, hello, Noonie.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Takes longer to put on than take off. Correct. And then when those sketches end, they find it's easy. It's just the stage manager yells, cops, and everybody scrambles. Ditch the cake. There was one more assessed corner, which is Jon Hamm's Jon Hamm. Jon Hamm's Jon Hamm.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I don't remember a lot of the times when I had the inspiration for a sketch, but I remember the exact moment I came up with Jon Hamm's Jon Hamm. By the way, I'm not talking about it like it's incredible or anything. You're proud. No, but it's memorable. It's stuck around.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I love it. We were at Latanzi. You can read an article in the Wall Street Journal about Latanzi, which is where- New York Times.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It's where Lauren takes the host for the host dinners every Tuesday night.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Oh, I think that might be the end of Lauren going to Latanzi.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
That's a bummer. It's not like a super fancy restaurant. It was a cool restaurant because nobody knew about it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
You and me, Q. We went once before a season started. We had a writer's dinner.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
We, uh, but we were at Latanzi and I went, I was hanging out. We were talking, we were at the dinner. Andy and I were at the dinner and Jon Hamm was at the dinner. Cause that was obviously what we did the host dinner. And then you had to go back to the office and write. And I remember I went to the bathroom on our way out and I walked out of the bathroom and saw Andy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
A few other comments about this pod that I did enjoy. Someone wrote, love that this episode is a lot of Seth being like, I swear I'm cool, guys. And then someone wrote underneath that, dot, dot, dot, this episode, question mark, LOL. Burn. So I guess that might be a real burn. And then someone else said, this is the episode Seth realized he's turbo white.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And I said, I just had a sketch idea. Jon Hamm's Jon Hamm, the ham you can eat in the bathroom. And you said, write it up. I don't remember that. Jon Hamm, two minutes. Again, in and out, doesn't waste any time. And I am, I rewatched it and it made me happy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I think it probably wrote, I wrote it in the time it took you to watch it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Again, it's just like when you make a very dumb writing choice and you kind of forget you made it. The website was johnhamsjohnham.com. There were two dot hams.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Again, if you're watching the two-minute Jon Hamm sketch, a minute in, he does call out that it is just because his name sounds like it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Out of Cess Corner now into, there's a really nice A-Holes, which is a crossover with Mad Men. It's a period piece A-Holes. And both Elizabeth Moss and John Slattery play themselves. Oh, that's fun. Which is lovely. I believe Elizabeth Moss is playing herself because Amy was playing Peggy in the sketch.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And then when Amy had a baby, we realized Elizabeth Moss was at the show and she stepped in and played herself.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I also, now that I'm realizing, because I didn't know Slattery would be there, originally a dress, certainly not at the table, then I think a dress, we added John Slattery, John Slattery, which were Venetian blinds for a toilet. That didn't work because nobody calls Venetian blind slatteries. Right. Right. It was a bridge too far. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it did. We did try it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And I was very happy he was in A-holes because even he knew after we did it, it was fully getting cut.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah. There was a Vincent Price Halloween special.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Jon Hamm was JFK at dress. He had played JFK in the Obama thing, the ghost of JFK. And between dress and air, Lorne asked him to play James Mason, and we had to rewrite it for James Mason. And also, Jon Hamm had to do a James Mason impression after never having done one, and it was great.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I also do remember the moment where Lauren was like, can you switch? And he was like, yeah. Oh, that's also why. Because I think we all saw it happen in the room, too. Yeah. Wow. So, you know, it was a public Iceman just sort of giving a nod.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Okay, but then I'm going to make a t-shirt about you, Jorm, because this one made me laugh out loud. It is, oh, Keev's coming over and I want Keev to hear this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Like, well, what kind of chance does a guy like me have? But here's how I heard it. I thought he said it, though. I also heard Andy, but I heard it as a slam, like he was like, and you're telling me Andy's handsome?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Andy's handsome is one of his tattoos?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Hey, you're right. Seth has teeth was the best you could come up with for me.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Even the guy giving you your memento tattoos were like, you don't got something better for your friend, Seth? I think you should write something else, man. I don't think that's going to help you the way you think it's going to help you. This is permanent.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
So that one doesn't make any sense to me at all. Cause you're not burying the joke.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
So they went to somebody in the film unit, that would be what I would guess, and said, what do we call it? I know this. If it was called Rasta Man, it's not Criterion. But it wasn't called that. That's the thing. I'm just saying if it was, I couldn't vote for it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
hey we've said it a lot but the end of update was Kenan and Maya coming out and singing we love you Amy and we just can't wait to meet your baby and it's really sweet and then I hate it so much because then I stand up and I'm wearing jeans on the bottom which I used to do a lot and I'm just like ugh wear a fucking suit piece of shit wear a fucking suit you piece of shit although certainly it's come full circle now that I don't even wear a suit for my talk show
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Let's get into that. But we picked it up. That was the Jon Hamm episode that we wanted to revisit because we didn't get to it after our Ross Trent episode. And next week, again, this was just a fun time of getting first-time hosts who would then come back again and again and again. Paul Rudd. Oh, wow. Who is, of course, at the time, a five-timer.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
We were waiting for you, Keeve, because I want to maybe get this on a T-shirt. It's a comment. Yorm is a giant memento.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Ham, great host. Great host. Handsome man. And, you know, a lot of people are probably like, why didn't you get a voice note from Ham? Here's what I would like. Ham, I know, listens to the pod. Listen to it, John, and then leave us a voice note clarifying anything. The main point being, did you think Andy was a bad madman? And did you notice that Keeve left the room?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Oh, by the way, the five in a row, Hathaway, Brolin, Hamm, Affleck, Rudd, find me five better SNL hosts in a row. Ever. Don't try to do it by memory. It would be nuts if this was what Jorma nailed. Season 27. All right, well, we'll pick it up next week. Love you guys. All right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yorm called in, heard there was a podcast, and thought he could drive fast enough to get there before it started. Okay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
He tried to Nolan his way back to the start of the podcast. He tried to interstellar to the beginning. I knew it was a bad idea.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Keith, one more time. We established this because everybody in the comments said release the clowning on Yorm cut.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
You can verify for people that it was more fun to talk about than actually listen to.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
You know, I feel bad because a lot of people wrote that the cones, those giant cones in New York that have steam coming out of them that you used as a big old bong in Rostram. People sent me YouTube links explaining it, Wikipedia pages. I didn't read any of them, but basically they said New York, it's releasing steam. So I will just assume that if you don't release steam, New York explodes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Oh, you were the idea to use it as a big old bomb?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Oh my God. The most useless memento tattoos.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
You had to get a tattoo that said, they're making fun, but remember they're friends of yours.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Um, speaking of Cold Stone, somebody wrote, uh, used to work near a Cold Stone Creamery and every time I walked in, I'd sing Meat Toil part-time at Jack Cold Stone Creamery. Oh, that's incredible. That's really good.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
This one is, uh, somebody wrote, often when people in my family realize that the thing we're complaining about is really trivial, we'll sing Meat Toil part-time at Jack Cold Stone Creamery. Oh, I really like that usage. I don't know which comment is better. Yeah, they're very nice.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I think Keev's about to join us, and so let's get out the business that Keev doesn't want to talk about. Andy, something mind-boggling happened this week. What? There was an S in the spelling bee. Oh, my God, yeah. First time ever. Our whole community was reeling. Do you know the reason for it? No. It was the 2,500th spelling bee. They were celebrating with the S. The 2,500th? Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Somebody opined that bald heads can be anyone that's not Rastafarian, because one of the liveties is the word they used, and being Rasta is you cannot cut your hair.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Before we move on, do you guys think that this is a Criterion Collection episode?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Got it. Yeah. I mean, having it as a calling card. God, I love her.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I would not have said it was Criterion before the episode. And I'm going to venture that maybe our listeners wouldn't either. But I'm very excited because it swung me, and I wonder if the episode will swing the voters the next time we have it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
You know, Turbo White did not go into this thinking he could be... Turbot.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Turbot White. It's like a flaky white fish.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
So this doesn't really work. I think it does. Hey, you know what? I kept meaning to say this the whole last episode we're recording and it's for nobody, but one of my favorite books that like the last 10 years is a book called A Brief History of Seven Killings. So good. By this wonderful writer named Marlon James, which is about the attempted assassination on Bob Marley. And it's a fantastic book.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Jamaican crime book. Highly recommend.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
You know, I maybe was called a turbo white in the comments. It was also mentioned, somebody said, God, I only wish those guys would ever tell us where they grew up. LAUGHTER
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah. We did not get to the actual episode, though. As discussed in the last pod, it was an golden episode for my money. And I was just wondering if we could spend a little bit of time talking down. Would that be all right for you, gentlemen?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
There's one more. There's one more. There's one more episode before the election.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Can you throw it in the rundown in the chat, Kev?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Mark Wahlberg talks to animals with actual Mark Wahlberg. Yep. Real Sarah Palin. I'm no angel. I'm no angel, which was the very pregnant Amy Poehler walking across a bar because Brolin had made eyes at her using her own pregnant belly for physical comedy in a way that was remarkable.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Is that an important number? I don't know. Ask Sam Mazurski.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
If Fall Foliage and Fartface was in the same episode, that's really asking a lot of an audience.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Brolin was great and almost so great that it worked against us because Brolin loved stuff like Fartface and Fall Foliage, which were super writer sketches. Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah. And yet, you know, so back in the day, one of my jobs as head writer was to decide on which episode we submitted for the Emmys. And I remember Lauren submitted this one for show. And there was a real idea that this was the show for that year, which was the politics year.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And yet, as we talk through this season, there are other episodes that I like a great deal more on the writing side, even though we're gonna talk about sketches I like, just the writing that played hotter. And I feel regret about my decision while also knowing no matter what I picked, The Daily Show was gonna win. Yeah, that was so sad.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And by the way, every year, and I want to stress, I'm sure The Daily Show had an exceptional 2008. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it is so funny all these years later to be like, ah, should have picked Hathaway or Ham. And you're just like, it didn't matter. It didn't matter. But it is fun to know that all these years later, still in my head, I'm like that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Because if there was ever a year I thought sitting at the Emmys we had a shot, it was this year.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I will say the nice tale of it was, oh, I just might not be an award we're going to win after that year. You know what I mean? And, you know, our future, we would have some nice wins with songwriting. And that was a perfectly lovely way for things to turn out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I do believe we got a WGA award this year, which was very nice. I'll tell you something, a true story. I was sitting next to Lorne a year we won a WGA award, and Lorne has never been to a WGA award before this or after, but he received a Lifetime Achievement Award that year, and so he was actually at the awards. And when we won the WGA award that year, Lorne did a little fist pump.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Oh, can I also jump in and say that the biggest feedback from the Ross Trent episode in the comments was people yelling, release the Yorm cut.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Nice tight little pump. Just a tight little pump.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It was, but I only did that for the Zoom box. I'm pretty sure it was like a fist pump in his lap. I think it was not to be seen. It was like a little instinctual fist pump.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It's a beautiful word. It's a death trap for kids.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah. Lauren's speech, I don't remember, but I remember that Downey presented it to him. And Downey was so funny. And I remember one of his jokes was, Lorne made sure that he always gave opportunities to people to be writers that never had opportunities before. People like the children of celebrities, Harvard graduates, and the British.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, like, first off, Seth's not here. How's everybody doing?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Slam dunk. So you were like, I used to know about Mulaney's show, and then I became a sports nut because the playoffs started, and now there's no room in there for the Mulaney stuff. It pushed right out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
What are they playing there? Is it like Blue Ridge Mountains? Yeah, exactly. I believe that is. Fucking love that song.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Here it goes. That was the exact thing you sang. I gotta say, I'm pretty fit, you guys.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
The idea that you would just fully ruin their performance is so funny.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, yeah. One of the comics, Robbie brought on a vape. Of THC?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, it was tobacco. She kept saying it was only 2% tobacco and it was really low grade. And it's like mint strawberry flavored or something. How'd you like it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, did anyone at that time say, man, I bet you in a bunch of years... He'll be way fatter later. Boy, I bet he's glad he's got that captured.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Jorm's like an old pinup girl from the 40s. That was me.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I was a hot tamale. I was a hot tamale back then. Me and my one piece. Oh, I'd walk down the beach at Cody Island and all the boys would stare.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
No, I let everyone know that after that that was my first vape experience.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I want to do it, and I'm also doing it in protest. Under protest. Yeah, we get it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Like, I'm going to fucking pre-record my next episode. Here we go. Quangles. Quangles. Quangles. That was right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, I definitely don't smoke that tobacco. But the wacky tobacco, I mean, I've puffed my fair share of ganja, you know?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah. Weigh in on the comments. I was going to say, I don't think I've done it since the Goulet thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Also, it immediately begs the question, the timeline tracks... Is Total Recall a sequel to Doogie Howser, the show? It's possible because it's in the future.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I mean, growing up in the Bay, puffing on that law, the doja, taking it to the neck. The fact that you know over five slang words for it makes me know you're telling the truth. Yeah. No stems, no seeds, no sticks? Some of that sticky icky?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Hmm. is one of the writers of either one of those actually using a nom de plume, and it's the same person.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
They are now our Moriarty. Oh, my gosh. I think that might have been a stretch.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
And also maybe like spent a lot of time in Austria and then it rubbed off on him the way he speaks. Right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Or is it? That's the whole question. He might still just be a regular doctor who spent a lot of time in Austria back home on Earth.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
And he goes from speaking kind of like this to, I'm gonna kill you, you son of a bitch! Because of the time spent in Austria as a doctor. Did they ever call him Doogie Quaid? Yeah, like, is that his nickname?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, yeah. You could always count on me to have five on it. Sometimes I'd even have six on it. Wow. Generous. How much did you have on it, Keith? Very little. One or two. Jorm, how much would you put on it? Be real.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Right. Or did they make that up for the show? Because they were like, we really want his name to be Doogie, but no one would ever really name their kid that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, Douglas, come on in. Oh, it's actually pronounced Douglas.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
This is what the podcast should be. You know what, guys? Before this, I was against podcasts. But now that we've just this is why you have to do them because you uncover things you never expected.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, he's like, oh, how many did Brunson have? I didn't know who that was until a week ago.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yes, that's why I said the word Jorm. Oh, I thought you were asking Keeve. I asked Keeve and he answered. Jesus fucking Christ. I can't live like this, you guys. I don't want to do the podcast. Seth's not here. Jorm's not even paying attention because he's fucking fixated on Brunson.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, Jack. What a sweetheart. Righteous kill to you, good sir. How nice. I loved all that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I mean, yeah. In a lot of ways, he's a VIP. Yeah. I mean, he's more of a Quaid than we could ever imagine. Thanks for that. What a treat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

Are we done with Couple of Homies? I wanted to talk about the end of Couple of Homies. Yeah, let's get into Couple of Homies, dude. So the end of Couple of Homies is the part that I like the most. Backscratch, funny little song. Other parts of it were just kind of like fun. But then at the end, it cuts to Forte in the record booth. He finishes the song.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
We're just a couple of homies, yeah, yeah, yeah. Camera slowly pulls back. This is nice direction, in my opinion. Forte dramatically steps back from the microphone in the record booth and turns, revealing something we've done before. He's not wearing any pants or underwear. However, in this particular instance, it's not blurred. leans against the wall and we see his full butt. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Which I remember us being like, how is this possible that we're airing this? It did air that way, right? Yes. And then we rewatched it this morning and it is fully in there and it is obviously the funniest part and the biggest laugh in it. But it was like a full NYPD blue, you know, where you're like, there's a flesh butt being shown on network television.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
By the way, Jorm, it was a big, like. At the time, big deal. Well, they were teasing it ahead of time. Like, get ready, because you're going to see Dennis France's butt.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, and everyone's like, oh, my God, I'm tuning in.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, they absolutely did. That's how few options there were back then, where you're like, that's event television. Yeah. You should tease Forte's butt.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I'm looking it up. By the way, no shade on Dennis Franz's butt. I'm just saying, like, there was a lot less access to butts.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I think a couple of homies was, in its essence, an homage to NYPD Blue. And just the whole culture surrounding it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, based on the quality of the camera it was shot on, I think there's a strong chance it was like just you or Keeve were in there with him and he did it. That's my guess. But we should get a voice note from him.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Is that how it went? Also, there's a crime of some sort. I think it was definitely their VO guy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah. Yeah. NYPD Blue wasn't after that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
God damn it. I love your hypothetical commercial for this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
It was like the VO guy being like, and for the first time ever on network television, nudity. Full buttocks.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
And then I remember it being like a news story after where it was like water cooler talk of like, I don't know what the big deal is.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, we name check him in Mona Lisa, pop star.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, I thought we were all simultaneously Googling Dennis Fran's butt. I definitely am.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Quaid, what are you doing in the kitchen?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
It doesn't have to necessarily be Jack.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, Quaid-o has nothing to do. It has absolutely nothing to do with Total Recall, a.k.a. the sequel to Doogie Howser.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Dude, this podcast is way better without Seth. I'm flying. Hold on, I'm sharing screen. Is this allowed to be on YouTube? Oh, my God.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, this is going to be good. It's like he was about to pee.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Terrible shower pressure, too. Bad water pressure. Oh, my God.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, my God. The close-up of his butt panning to the second butt was classic.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
This is HBO level. This was on Disney-owned ABC. Jesus, it's porn. It's still going.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Wow. How generous. So tempting now to talk for five minutes about how much I hate Seth, but I don't. I love him. It's hard to hate Seth. I mean, it's fun. Whatever he's doing here is fun. He's a quality human.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I don't even know how that's on YouTube, let alone ABC. Yeah. Get me Michael Eisner. Wow, thanks for finding that, Keeve. I'm genuinely shocked. Is it possible that Franz pitched that episode?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
You think he pitched it? That came from Mickey Mouse himself. I was going to say, that came from the top. That came from the top. Who was in charge? Was it Iger? That was an Iger joint. No, no. Probably Michael Eisner. Eisner. I always get them confused. Yeah. I always mix them up. Well, I was hanging with Tommy Hanks the other day. I was like, you know what? Was it Eisner or Iger?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Anyway, Jorm, you know how it is. Brunson.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Quaid, what are you cooking? It could have been anyone. This joke is complicated. The whole cast now exists to talk specifically to two people. Jack Quaid.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
You're right. Same as Michael Clark Duncan. But is Harris...
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, we have known multiple people named Harris. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
It's not as common. I mean, it took this many years for somebody to call it out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
It was harder to cut through the noise back then.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, after drinking all those Molsons, you're going to need a smint.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
They do come hand in hand. Especially if you're hoping to do some necking.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I mean, I always imagine the scrambled eggs were kind of like left in the pan. It's like the amount that didn't get eaten.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
They're like lonely and cold. Whereas the tossed salads, I mean, they're tossed. They're exciting. They're living their best. You know, you guys disagree?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I imagine you pan off of the cold scrambled eggs to the window where there's rain.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, for sure. But then it's tossed salads and scrambled eggs. So this person's asking which one is more sad between the two.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh. I'm actually really excited to hear your thoughts on that. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I mean, it's kind of part of the definition of a dive bar. It's baked in. It's a great name. Gooskies. Gooskies is a great name. Yeah. Let's go there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Did you go to Gooskies together? Who's Tom Hanks?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, I only know Tommy. How's your foot doing, by the way?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Seth, what do normal ones mean in Pittsburgh?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
What do normal ones mean in Pittsburgh? I don't even think I know the answer to that. It's beers brewed in or associated with Pittsburgh include Iron City Beer, Rolling Rock, and Penn Brewery.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, but I don't think... I've got 53 out of 59 words today. But here's the thing. Without Seth... I know. I can't zone out like that. You're right. I hear you. But I knew what you were going to say before you even said it. We're so on the same page. Unlike me and fucking Yorm, who only cares about Brunson. And heart. And town.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah. But being a Steelers fan, don't you kind of need to know this stuff?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
But do we all agree, sound off in the comments, that Seth can't really be a true Steelers fan until he goes to Gooskies and has a normal one? I'll go to Gooskies.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
That is actually part of what happened. It was both. He sighed for multiple reasons. That did happen, but it was mixed in with a lot of vitriol.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I almost don't want to spoil it for you, especially because I want you to have to listen to this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Sorry, guys, I did live TV last night, so I'm just really in my performance mode.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
The second Seth came back, I started doing Spelling Bee again.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
You agreed to it? You forced the issue. It was you being like, hey, would you ever do this? It's my idea, Seth. My team will be in charge.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Seth, how many are you in on Spelling Bee? How many did you get?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah. We had a lot of friends that sold, too. So they would just be like, hey, hit this. I own it. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
So as soon as you're back, he's right back to... I'm five away, but it's like, it's a lot of words. Well... I'm almost certainly going to hints, you know?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Maybe that's our actual place we should be all the time is Gooskies. We don't even like the Steelers.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I mean, it's the reason Gooskies is a great name for a bar. It's just fun to say.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, yeah. It's Yoram sort of radioactive goose addressing and maybe eradicating the trauma by normalizing it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
If we change it to the goose army, Jack Quaid's going to be fucking stoked.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Hey, Quaid-o. But the guy who played goose in Top Gun is in for a world of hurt.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Is the other guy's name also? I'm sorry.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
You're right. I never put together that they're both named Anthony Edwards.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Another Douglas Houser? Do you think Anthony Edwards, the actor, is constantly being mistaken for Anthony Edwards, the basketball player?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
He'll give his credit card at a restaurant and they're like, hey, good luck in the playoffs.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Keeve, can I be honest? I mostly was making that joke so that I could bring Jorm back into the convo because he's a basketball guy. He's like a sports nut. Well, I was with two sports nuts.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
He's like, oh, you guys talking about Ant-Man? Oh, he's definitely on the rise. Will he be the future face of the NBA? Who can say? I'm Jorm.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, I wonder if when Paul Rudd and Anthony Edwards, the basketball player, are in the same place and someone goes, hey, Ant-Man, they both turn. Right. I'd say yes. And they both turn at the same time and they go, yes. What? Not again. Yes. Yeah. I'd venture to guess when all three are there. ER is Goose. Oh, my God. When Anthony Edwards from Top Gun, who played Goose, is there, too? Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Right. Wait. What about when Anthony Edwards, the actor, is standing next to a real-life Goose? And someone goes, hey, Goose. And they both turn and they go, wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Hog. Not a gong. Not a gong. Wait, Jorm, you be the goose and I'll be the hatter. Yeah. Ready? And Keith, you say, hey, goose. Hey, goose.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Not a gong is what the real goose says.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah. Was it like, did they brainstorm it a long time? Or was it like first thought, best thought?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah. Do you think there was a moment where they were like, should he be guinea fowl?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
What about it? I'm playing Tom Cruise perfectly now. What about it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
We already printed the helmet. I mean, hit me with your best shot. What do you got? What's the pitch? How about, does this do anything for you? Cool. Hold up.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I guess chicken does work. Rooster. I guess it has been a while since the second or third version of Annie came out. That was our concern with Rooster.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I'm Jay. Jay, have a peaceful slumber. It's a great song. You should approve it. Oh, it's fully clearable.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Perhaps exercising the power of persuasion within a marital situation.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
That really helps. Yeah, you gotta tip your hat to the guy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I mean, it's definitely a Friday night at midnight. And it definitely aired. Didn't even shoot at a flat hotel. It is in one of the dressing rooms on 8H. Yeah, there's no lighting. There's literally no lights.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah. I mean, I guess we would have to look at that rundown. It was the Rosario show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
It might have been that the whole writing staff hit a wall that week. Was it in the middle of a crazy run? That sometimes would happen.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, Kevin's reminding us that it originally was at dress rehearsal at a previous show in November, maybe the after show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
And they were like, oh, a couple of homies that's already shot.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Good. What are you up to? I'm just reading a magazine. Oh, cool. Just get here? Yeah, yeah. I took the subway.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
But, I mean, I don't want to be rude to the person who asked the question, even though I want to be rude to Seth. Yes, they hold the cue cards upside down, and I read them upside down. But to me, upside down, they look completely normal.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Pause it, Jeff. Thank you. Oh, man. It's like getting a mosquito out of the tent. Now I'm so curious what he was going to ask me, though. But let's not do it. Well, I mean, we don't like a couple of homies, so I'm happy to go back to Seth. I just felt like exercising my power.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
He absolutely did not do timers. Jeff is doing timing for him. There's no doubt in my mind. Jeff, why don't you tell us the truth? It's a series of clips that I am timing you. Oh, fuck. So he was a lazy son of a bitch. Do you think Seth would fucking waste his precious time?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
No, he's too busy tricking other people into starting podcasts with him and then bailing on them and then trying to act like it's their fault in his thing he sent in. God damn you, Seth. God damn you to hellfire. I hope you burn there and your skeleton burns and you keep consciousness.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I want all the smoke. Yeah, Jorm will get that. Sports nut.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Ras Trent
Rude boy living in the shanty dorms. My roommate naked.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Ras Trent
He's an ignorant bald head. He can't doubt me. Yeah, okay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Ras Trent
You teed him up, Keith. You teed him up. The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast Show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Ras Trent
Yeah! Rastafarianism! Yes, I, Ross Trent. Ba-da-ding, ding, ding, ding, whoa. Who down? You know what, test me champion sound.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Guys, Jorm here. Big compliments on the short. I watched it in Finland. I showed most of the people on set, and everybody loved it. Big faves were obviously seeing Colin Jost. the little dog getting his handcuffs put on, the going up an octave, or whatever Andy loves doing at the end of the song, when the song goes up, fantastic.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
One question I had, which is, in Andy's overly written line, I'm in my kitchen listening to my conditioning. What does that mean, Andy? Like, like I'm sure you have a logical response to this. So I would like to know what is listening to my conditioning. Obviously there was no visual to go along with it because I don't think it actually makes sense. Um, but I'm sure you have a response. Okay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Uh, great job guys. Love you very much. And it was lovely to see on the other side of the world.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Are you guys still hungover from Sunday night's festivities?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yeah. No. But you couldn't tell. I thought it was a pretty solid show. Not that we're talking about this. Not that we're talking about it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
I haven't either. But the music one I've heard is real solid.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Actually, I do remember it now that you mention it, but that was not our reference.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Well, that's nice. That was so nice. I'm never going to stop saying that, but it was so nice to hear.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yes, it's just that when you would see somebody spit, for real, it's a very different thing than how we record. Yeah. It is not over and over and getting it perfectly aligned and aligning our vocals and da, da, da, da.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Oh, yeah. He's always like, it's my half birthday. You don't have to do anything. Maybe a cupcake or something. Something small.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
It's like when he does Australian. Whenever he does Australian, you're like, whoa, you've been there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Is Keev the hardest? I don't know. We all scream a lot, but... I don't know.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
It's hard for me to answer that question. Visually, right now, you guys are on your heels. Yeah, we go hard on the MIC, you know?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
We all thought we were the hard guy. Oh, that's so funny.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yes. Yeah. How many times has he cursed in I'm on a boat? It's like 16.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yeah. Yes. And you curse a little bit, but nowhere near as much as he does on that song.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yeah, but that might be your only curse word. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
That made wonderful sense to me, yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Those are two really good answers. I still really have a soft spot for all the Just Two Guys songs, even though those are not our slickest videos in the world. But I like those characters a lot.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Oh, my gosh. I remember how much I loved that dog. I thought that was a beautiful dog. that's really sad to hear, but also great that she's forever commemorated on film.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Oh, I like it to be cookie monstered out. Yeah, like it got attacked. And then I pretend like a monster was in here.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
If there's a strong breeze, too, it's windy out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
The word fan is a little loaded. I don't know if I would ever say my wife is a fan of my comedy. I think she likes what we do. Yeah. I just don't know if I would use the word fan.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Anybody who likes Punchy in the Jeans, I got to say that I'm a fan of them. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
All right, teaser. Another teaser. Yeah, 50th teaser. Just a teaser. My wife really does love Just You Guys, those characters. I think she just thinks they're cute guys. But I'm trying to think of ones that she doesn't like. This is a sidebar, but the worst reaction has ever gone over for me was actually for Mari's family was the video Diaper Money because my verse is about wife pussy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
And for some reason I was like thinking that they would think it was funny. And I was like, oh my God, you gotta check this new video out. And then as soon as they were watching it, it didn't go over so hot.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
I have seen it, and I really liked it at the time, but I have also forgot about it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
So nice. Andy, you've probably already seen this, so I'm just going to weigh in because I haven't. I mean, I did see it. But are they talking about how we're presenting laser cats as if it doesn't work to Lauren?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
I don't know. Yeah. They're clones and there's a war. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yeah. Should poach that idea. Yeah. I also love when a dad loves something and laughs really hard. I have very fond memories of stuff my dad loved.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Even when you don't get it, I'm just like, wow, this guy loves this shit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
It's another way to say cockade. I just wanted you to leave it at that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
I don't know if it's necessarily based on a table read. I think there's a million factors for why something does or doesn't happen, usually doesn't happen. But I've definitely been a part of table reads that have, there's a movie that I was working on for 10 years. It's still kicking around, but it's a different movie. And we had a really nice table read with a lot of big names.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
A lot of fun people and that never happened.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yeah. I think BFF was a weirder one because I think you and I, Andy, were thinking of it as the former and it felt like the latter because it was so big business and a lot of people showed up for it. But like in our minds, we were like, yeah, let's see how this is.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
I didn't think it was going to go, but yes, I thought that there were sequences that were like really funny.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Definitely not MacGruber. We did do a table read for Popstar and it was super fun.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Well, that was that was also Ray Liotta. R.I.P. was also playing the Colonel character a little like he was not to do an impression of him, but it was like, hey, what are we going to do? He was doing Forte's Joey Pants. It was the moment that I was like, oh, you know what? As the director, I should have talked to him beforehand. And didn't. I was just like, yeah, he'll get it. It's on the page.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Guess what? Not always on the page, guys. You got to check in with people.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
I'd like to apologize to my predecessors. Rescind my offer.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Why doesn't Luke live with Darth Vader?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
I think it ruins it for them. I tried to do it, actually, and nobody appreciated it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
I tried to do it for an adult recently, and my adult friend just got silent and angry.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
That is full on true. And I'm impressed with myself.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yeah. Wait, so did you appreciate it more of those stuff? Were you like, oh yeah, I guess so.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
I can see myself going to Copenhagen alone.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Oh, Andy, when we were just hanging out, when Andy was doing the show recently, I was helping him with... with his wordle for the first time. Or not wordle, what is it called? Whatever, wordle day.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
You're not going to believe this, but I didn't know if we were going to record this week. And so I forgot to bring my equipment.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yeah, spelling bee. And pee-pee man wasn't a word too, so that's a... Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Can I tell you the funniest misunderstanding of my name ever? because I've obviously had everything under the sun, said to me, of like, what did you just say? And the funniest one was, what did you just say, urine? Oh, yeah. And I was like, no, I didn't say urine. Like, that's not my name.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yeah. Oh, so that's the best kind of jackal. So you are a jackal, but you're the correct kind of jackal.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
I feel like you guys are just as much at fault for that as I am, because what I'm saying is, we're really, no one's gonna fail, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
It pushes you a lot of SNL stuff. It's like, hey, do you like this?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
That whole song was fucking wonderful.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yeah. I have a question though because actually I love that question and I was never allowed to be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens, the room where it happens. But would you guys argue for things and were you ever successful, like Seth in particular, like were you able to, how would that work?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Or would you occasionally be scared if you were like, I'm throwing down for this thing and if it doesn't work, then I'm going to be embarrassed.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
Yeah, gotcha. Well, because I would imagine those were weirder sketches that would be on the fence.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
And how weird was it? Like, just like how behind the curtains or were you just like, yeah, this is about what I expected?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 4
That's awesome. That's really cool to hear.

Great, so your dad was just like, this guy shreds. Yeah, 100%.

Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
He was like, we're naming him. He didn't know the name first. He said to your mom, whoever this guy is, that's what the boy's name is going to be. He's got it red. I got bad news. He's got it red. It's bad news. It's urine. And she's like, I don't think you say it that way. And he's like, oh, okay. Closer. Better. Getting better.

Was Asa's name just straight biblical?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
So you bought a weed green Velare?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I mean, so... Jorma. Yes. Is from the Bay Area. And along with Andy Sandberg and Akiva Schaffer. And every detail I ever hear about growing up in the Bay Area makes me happier. And also is illustrative of the way you guys all turned out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
You kind of are, you've taken a different approach. I feel like you're showing up with one trip that you want to talk about.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
parent like my parents and like both me like me and my brother were talking about this we were just like oh my god this all right so i'm gonna let josh is gonna maybe lay down some tracks before we get to your one massive trip great yeah well i mean just sort of set the scene your brother's how much younger than you uh my brother's four and a half years younger than me okay Were you psyched?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
That's old enough to know if you're psyched you're having a younger brother. Were you psyched that another one was coming?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
What was sort of the end game if it hadn't just been forgotten after a year?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
That was my fear about freezer was definitely. And then like some freezer burn?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Alexi has become more Bay Area with each successive birth of our children because the third, Addie, was a home birth. Wait, which one was in the lobby? Because that's the second. Yeah, the second one was in the lobby. She was trying to have a New York birth and then her women parts were like, no, we are of the Bay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And I guess in defense of the show and the way I usually get pretty crabby, this is a family vacation that you took. I can't believe you're giving me grief for talking about a family trip. The next thing, if you were like, come on, man, you got to have some memories of SNL from 04. No, that ain't happening. So anyway, flight home. First of all, flight there, flight home. Alexi's such a hero.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I feel like we maybe saved the first placenta and had the same situation of like, there's no, in the end, we're not going to actually do anything with it. But what I was getting at was the kids, the home birth happened at night or else. I bet the boys would have been, I don't know. I don't know if they would have watched or not, but I think they would have been nearby. What time did it happen?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Like 11 o'clock at night. It was the best because they went to bed. It was very much Shoemaker's Elves. They went to bed and woke up and somebody else had made a baby that was just there. I honestly thought you were talking about Michael Shoemaker for a second. That's the problem with having a Shoemaker. Having a real shoemaker in my life named Michael.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And your parents are both very creative people professionally, yeah?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And they've managed to make this work with normal names like Troy and Sue Ellen.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Bob Tacone is definitely a guy with a used car place on Long Island. It probably exists. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
What's a creative Bay Area family? Well, before, yeah. So before you tell us about the trip, what was like sort of a baseline trip?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Not everyone does it, Jorma. And let me say we appreciate it. Some people do so little research that about five minutes in they say, oh, so it's about family trips. Really? Yeah. So you're massively, massively ahead of the curve.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
You do the podcast you're about to appear on. They're not doing better in Larry Meyer's eyes. I'll tell you that right now. Yeah, that's true. My dad is very down on people who don't do the work. Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Well, I do want to take a pause because it's almost too interesting to just pass over. When you got robbed, were you always away from home when you got robbed?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
By the way, it speaks to how many times you get robbed if you have a funny one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
She really believes, and it was a five-hour flight. She really believes the kids can do activities the whole flight. She gets them modeling clay. She gets some sticker books. She gets some mazes. She gets, there's three different kinds of crayons. It's incredible what she does. With that said, kids just burn through that shit. Yeah. I mean, the kids wanted the clay out before we took off.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Now, what is the order of things? Because if the neighbors stole your stereo equipment second, I feel like they're now, it's a justifiable theft. If they had to go through 12 hours of the school bell alarm.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
It's already going off. Yeah, just steal shit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I do hope. Did you ever... I mean, I'm assuming you confront the neighbors when you realize they've left a diaper trail?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
It is funny. I like that, yeah, in your seven-year-old, it's like, I'm going to kill you. It's like, well, I'm afraid the tables are turned because you've just revealed yourself to be a thief. A thief. I'm afraid your attempted murder will have to take the back seat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Well, it also, it seems like, yeah, when you leave, people take your things and your neighbors hate you. And then you need to buy more things.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
The cost, it was an exponential cost for you to go on vacation. The least of it was how expensive the vacation was.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
But yeah, she was just obsessed. Yeah, ball of fire. That's great. It is funny. I feel like it's dawning on my kids now that they can use the idea of vacation as a way to have the same complaints they always have. You know, they always want ice cream, and then all of a sudden we're on vacation. It's vacation! Shut up. You always want this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And, you know, again, we're leaving from a New York airport. We were like 15th in line to take off. By the time we're in the air, the modeling clay has dried. It's like rock hard. Yeah. So eventually, about two hours in, we allow them to switch over to watching movies. Uh-huh. And they get very excited. Sure. About watching a movie on the back of a seat on a plane, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah, because you thought maybe it was going to catch on fire with how hot it was.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
It's so nice to hear you actually dial into that memory because of course I remember the first time you did it and I feel like I forget when my kids are doing it that there's just no way to get through to them because this summer they were just blasting our house with a hose. And I was like, stop it. And I'm telling him to stop. And they couldn't, they physically couldn't stop it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And they were just like, they were spraying different surfaces. They're like, I'm going to shoot wood. I'm going to shoot glass. Then it's like, I'm just going to blast it into the ground until it turns into mud.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Oh, my God. I'm sure he was having a great time. And you 100% knew when it was the times he gave you a bath, like how it was going to go.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
leaf blower I got this huge leaf blower and an umbrella and just walked outside clicked the umbrella so that's my shield and just shooting kids with this leaf blower for like half an hour god that's good times I'm gonna steal that I think both of those are yeah I think watching a dad come outside with an umbrella and a leaf blower is as exciting as seeing Bane in Batman for the first time that was my goal it's like no what a beautiful voice
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
They all have their own headphones. Okay. Another thing that we're doing a lot of is we're loading up old phones of mine that are now defunct with books on tape. And so the kids are actually, the boys at least, will listen to Harry Potter and enjoy. That's great. Also, Ash... is only allowed to watch the Harry Potter movie after he has read the book. Or had it read to him, in this case. Right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
It is for real. They are the stereotype of what every Republican thinks a normal Democrat is today. Yes, my parents are like... They were no exaggeration what Jim Jordan thinks I am.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
We appreciate your patience while we wait to get the gang back together. But the good news is Yorma and I did a podcast with my brother called Family Trips with the Myers Brothers. Did you enjoy your time with us? I loved it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
We're staying in this shack? The best is the thinking. Thinking it was a limo was you being insane. But now the tables have turned.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah, I was going to throw some quotes around, read the book. Yeah. I saw in your eyes some quotes were coming, so I thought I'd... I jump in front of that one. Flight home, Posh. Here's what happens on the flight home. I got Addy on one side of me. I got Ash on the other. Dude in front of me. It's like a three and three, right? So I'm looking sort of kitty corner.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
That's all true. This is the best definition of the ages 8 and 12. Yeah. I think that's the best example of 8 and 12. He was loving it. Like 8 still sees the wonder in the world and like, I made a local friend.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Guy who's technically in front of Ash. You know what he's watching in the back of his seat? I don't even know why I'm making you guess. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Ooh. Now, I'm watching it, again, not the right way to watch Raiders. One seat up with the sound off is not the way to watch Raiders, but it's so good. I'm like, you know what? I'm going to watch Raiders.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
They did have local... That is really funny. And I do think that documentaries are incredible tools for societal change, but it is a really funny, hippie thing when shit's going bad to be like, don't worry, we're going to come make a doc. You're like... We're getting evicted in two days.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
He got sort of cheated out of the cool name contest. It's like every time a kid in the Bay Area gets a Yorma, a guy in Hawaii has to get a Michael. Yeah. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Jeez Louise.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah. So the documentary in the end maybe didn't help.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
was the plywood house that they were building, was that evicted as well? Or was that more legal?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Because Ash is watching something, and Addie's sort of just looking at the map. She's too young. She doesn't know that that's not a movie, so she's just looking at it. She must love that part in Raiders where it's just the map. Oh, right. You're right. There's a lot of that in Raiders. Yeah. And I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark on the plane in Man O' Man. That movie holds up. It's so good.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Did you really? Before you were married?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Did you make multiple trips over your life, or was it just those two?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I like a couple of things from ACES that I want to go back to. The natural waterfall. Did you have a memory of that?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
This is real. This is a tangent, but you'll see where it got inspired from. We're talking about swimming and drinking water. Was it during the pandemic that you started making weird nursery, like, fables?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah, Derek stories. It was during the pandemic, yes. Yeah, it was. So Jorm reached out to me. And said he was, yeah, you sent me a Derek story. You're like, hey, we listened to this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
So good. It's so good. But then a few times, you know, there's some gnarly moments in Raiders. And I look over and Ash, who again is watching his own movie, is just eyes locked in on Raiders. Just locked in on maybe some of the gnarliest moments of Raiders. And you know what? I made a decision to just look at him and give him a nod like, yeah. Yeah. This is in your future, bud. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
But Derek was sort of like an Aesop-y type dude, right? They're Aesop's Fables.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And they're called Derek stories. Yeah. So the down river one was, was it someone? Yeah. You really listened to the, what was the down river one? Just, I mean, there it's only two minutes long. Go listen to Derek story, but just your best, your arm. Give us just for Josh real quick. How did Derek ruin this?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Well, there you go. One of the things, Jorm and Andy Sandberg, who were two-thirds of the Lonely Island, I think one of the things you probably connected on early in life was a love of diarrhea as a punchline to a joke.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I've heard it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
You can't go find it. You've got your two kids. Do they travel well?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
How was the, how was he with the jet lag and like settling down when he got there?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And they've had to move around. Your wife, Mari, who I've been lucky to know for a very long time, is much like you, an accomplished film director. So you guys have moved around. Your kids, not as like on trips, but hey, we live in Pittsburgh now because she's directing a movie about Mr. Rogers. So does Wiley, do you feel like as a kid, he thinks of that as a trip?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Movies like this are in your future. Yeah. I remember when we were little, little, when we were living in Michigan, we had a babysitter, Joe.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
So in Berlin, well, Berlin. I like it. It's like somehow, I guess maybe it's because I Google where's Beth's skate shop. It might have been that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah, that Russian roulette scene in Deer Hunter. Yeah. I'm remembering now. I definitely first saw with a babysitter. Yeah. It's funny because I think there's a lot about how hard it is to be a modern kid. But the fact that we had babysitters who would just come over and be like, let's see what's on. Yeah, and also they had like, there's three things on. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I like the Germans. Germans think an American skater, their stereotype now is they just do it to fall asleep.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah, I will say that the kind of dad you are, it's like, let's just go to the place the German stuntmen recommended. It does like, because another thing in aces that really made me laugh was, When he asked your dad where you were going in Hawaii, your dad was like, it's like kind of a scene. That's such a funny thing. They party pretty hard. They party pretty hard.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
That's such a funny thing for a dad to tell an eight-year-old.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
They just had no idea. I will say, I'm going to guess, based on your parents and based on their philosophy about the world, they also would probably be like, yeah, sorry, Yoram, our friends got evicted. I'm sorry you had a bad vacation.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I would say you did a grandparent's move when you were calling it a dad move. But like bringing a kid to a water park and just feeding him sugar for like six hours. Yeah, that's fair. Because I feel like grandparents sort of feel like they have this diplomatic immunity of like, hey man, what'd they do in my six hours?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah. I remember the first time, I think the first time our oldest had ice cream was with my father-in-law, who's the best dude in the world. But he came home and Alex was like, did you give him ice cream? And he went, he liked it. And I said, we didn't think he wouldn't like it. I was just laughing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
First of all, I was very pro the idea of like, that's exactly how we should get ice cream for the first time is on the sly with his grandpa. So I got no problem. But I was like, your defense stinks.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Were your parents, were they big on, were they okay with sweets? Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I think we had probably, no exaggeration, I would say we ate 10 times more sweets than my kids. Oh, easily. Maybe higher. Your kids eat sweets that aren't sweets. Like, they get tricked. I have a joke in my stand-up, which is, their cookie is what we used to have to eat to get a cookie. Like, that's how healthy their cookies are. It was like, if you finish this weird, like, smash dates...
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I'm going to watch the coolest one of them. Also, right, at 8 o'clock at night, none of the three things were kid-friendly. It wasn't like, go over to the old Netflix account. Back to Harry Potter real quick.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
It's like they all have the texture of an old coin. Like that's how hard it is to fight through one of the coins.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Like back in the 70s, which I can say. Oh, I will say that's like, I mean, like, well, Josh is, you know, Josh is a vegan. And even in just like the last few years, like hasn't, like the food tastes so much better. Your options taste better. Vegans are way better.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
First time. But then it's, by the way, the first time Ash had a real hot chocolate because there were no other options. We'd taken, we were in New Mexico where Alexi lives. We'd taken this gondola up. Oh, you've, you know, you've shot MacGruber there, you know, but like that crazy gondola that goes to the top of this. And again, you get up there and.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
It's like this little chalet and Ash is with his cousin. And so they shared a, literally shared a hot chocolate that was a real one. And then he threw up and we had to like give him an hour long bath. We had to cancel dinner reservations because it's like, wow, we can't. He didn't have a hot chocolate. We're not sure he's going to make it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
He's going to be like, oh, Ash has to go lay on the bathroom floor again. He's back with the nurse. Yeah. Like, Ash's frat house. Like, we had to hold his hair back while he puked up M&M's. Jorm, a lovely trip I took. And again, a lot of times I speak and almost like try to legally defend myself against Josh calling it out as not a family trip.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
But when your family began, I went on a trip to your wedding and it was fantastic. It was in Big Sur. Yeah. Correct? Correct, Carmel. Very close. Carmel, of course. But it was really lovely. And also like everything, there was a real nice wavy gravy vibe to the whole deal.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah. I mean, I feel like there were a lot of like, there were like people where like yoga was a profession. Oh, well, yeah. You know what I mean? Like there was, it was like comedy slash...
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Thank you for asking. I think he's still impressed. I think I'm not going quite fast enough for him anymore. I think the only downside of this, you know, back and forth or trade off, I should say we've done with him is now he's just, he's just charging through the books. I think he's staying up too late. We let him have it in bed too.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I think it was the first time I was somewhere, and God, correct me if I'm wrong, she maybe started by making us think the people who the land, does that sound right? A land acknowledgement? I think it was the first time I heard a land acknowledgement out loud.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Uh, yeah, I was, but it was great. And the other thing, this is, um, now I go, you know, treading on dangerous ground because it's a little bit of an SNL story. So I'll make it quick, Josh, but I will say, I think the Peyton Manning show where Forte did that dancing scene where he was a basketball coach had happened the previous year because it was a summer wedding.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And then this woman, like an older woman said to Will like that, I love that so much. And then Will just did the full dance. He just, like, it was that thing where when you compliment for it, you end. Like, I felt like halfway through it, I was worried the woman was going to be like, uh-huh, no, no, I remember it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
No, no, no. It was like at the hotel. Oh, okay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
But it was one of those really fun, I mean, those weddings, and there were a few of them. Mine was right at the tail end of it. But it felt like an SNL wedding. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, it really was.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I get it. This is awesome. Was that all we had from Asa? Because the one thing I want to say is how much I enjoy Asa's voice.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I'm so glad. Do you now, is Winston, do you remember Winston?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I think he's just, I will, I'm basing this on the fact that like five times last week I went in and he had fallen asleep with his headphones on. So he's definitely just trying to like grind through it. so that he can hold up the phone until he came in very late the other night to be like, I just finished book five. Can you download book six? I'm like, go to bed. Oh, wait.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And that's how Audible started. That's how Audible started. Bay Area. That's when Bay Area became a tech hub. Somebody was like, this is amazing. I'm listening to the Red Pony. I did listen to it to go to bed. The best one that I get Higgins does to me, Steve Higgins, SNL producer that Jorm and I know, First time McConaughey hosted, he told a story in his monologue.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And Higgins said, you should practice it and record it. And so McConaughey recorded this long story about his dad. And then like every three years, I'll get a voicemail. And it's just like, and then I'll remember my dad's. And I'm like, what is this? And I'm like, oh, fucking Higgins. Just literally finds it and then plays it. Those are the best jokes to me.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I just can't seem to find it anywhere. Do you, looking back, do you think it's true that Winston was the only one who understood you?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
It must be a funny thing when people become teens, when kids become teens, that you actually then start commiserating with the younger kid about like, look out for this one. Like all of a sudden an eight-year-old is more rational. Because it does feel like, I know we're hearing Asa's perspective as an adult, but really? From those two short messages.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
He's an incredible musician.

Always been cool as shit. When the first time I met Asa, because I will say, all jokes aside, I thought you were cool. Yeah, I'm fine. When you showed up at SNL. I'm totally fine. I do not think you're a nerd anyway. When your brother showed up, I thought you were the biggest fucking nerd in the world. I was like, oh shit. Next to Asa.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I think I told you this, but not on the podcast. We've talked about the fact that you had a moment that Ash just had. You had a moment where you told everybody you were into Holstein cows, and then for like three years, everybody bought you cow stuff, and then you had to basically announce that you'd made a mistake and you don't like cows. Yeah. So, Ash just had this with Legos.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I know. And here it is. What a delight. Thank you to both you and Asa for the work you put into this. But before you go, Posh has some questions.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
All right. Here we go, Yoram. You can only pick one of these. Is your ideal vacation relaxing, adventurous, or educational?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
It was lovely. I like that you used your brother as a sort of memory backer upper.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I feel like train. A lot of people train. Well, that's the romantic answer. Like if I'm probably, it's like, oh, it's a fast plane. It's a romantic answer. But I think if we had, it's also a good reminder, if we had better trains in this country, I think a lot of people are right there. Ready. On the lot, ready to take them. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I assume so. I think that's a wrestling and rap fans. I don't even know if that's comedy. It's comedy, actually. Yeah. It's full on comedy. If you had to be stranded on a desert island with one member of your family, who would it be? Asa. Coolest guy ever.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah, no, I mean, that'd be my pick. And Berkeley, your hometown is Berkeley.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
He just had his eighth birthday. He got so many Legos, including from you. How can you say Legos? I know, because I've decided I don't care about people who don't like it that way. Lego. He got some Lego. Now you sound dumb.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
That sounds, it could be lovely.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I went and did a show there once and one of you guys sent me to a very good burrito place.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And then Seth has our final questions. Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon? No. Would you want to go? Yeah. Are you inviting? No.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
We just, Josh and I, Josh has barely been and I haven't been and Josh really wants to do it and I really don't.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I mean, I probably will.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
There's no way of knowing. Yeah, don't do it. Yeah. We're not going to look into that. But I just feel like, I think it's a seven. Yeah, I do. It's the wonder why people go there. Was that fast enough? Sick burn. Was that a fast enough burn? I don't know if it was fast enough. Can we take the air out so it's like right after? And this is very exciting. And hopefully Josh won't be deeply jealous.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Myself, Andy Samberg, and Akiva Schaffer have a new podcast that just came out about the Lonely Island, about all the famous Lonely Island songs as well as the ones that are unfamous and the ones that are infamous.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
If I'd have done it, the only way to do Lego is this way. You get it wrong, someone corrects you, and then you say it. Otherwise, people would hate me. I'm not going to be the guy who walks around and is like, Lego. You had a few of those, where you would do the foreign pronunciation of stuff. Did I? Yeah, I'll try to remember. I don't know, but I'll remember. Anyhow, all right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
He's like, you need to do this sample for us. That's really funny. And also, Josh is going to enjoy it because I think Josh will have less of an issue with SNL stories being on a podcast that is specifically about SNL stories. Yeah, maybe you'll get it out of your system and you'll stop. Yeah. Yeah. Well, maybe Seth will get it. He is the problem. You're fine. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
The real bummer will be if when Josh listens to the Lonely Island podcast, if all the stories are about family trips.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I'm just like a lot of me be like enough about your songs you know what really rules my brother tell me more stories about voicemails that Steve Higgins left for you I think that people are gonna like the yeah by the way Josh knows Steve Higgins someone only you and I know I know but sometimes for the listener All right. Well, Jorm, love you very much. Love you too. Yeah. I hope to see you soon.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Excellent. Ace and I are going to do some cool shit instead.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
All right, pal. Thank you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
So Ash getting too many Lego. Well, we told Ines, and I'm remembering, we had to tell you because you got him Lego. You got him a box of Lego.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Yeah, and then on top of it, which, by the way, that didn't happen. He didn't get the same thing. But he did get so many Harry Potter Lego toys. Harry Potter's Lego. He got so many of them, and he had a real breakdown because it was that thing that happens to a kid. They ask for a bunch of stuff. In the time it takes for them to come, he decides he doesn't like that stuff anymore.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And I went into the other room. He was sitting in our little playroom, TV room. It's a room with a TV, and we never watch TV, so it's basically the kid's playroom. And he was just sitting with a big box of Legos. Of Lego's bricks. He had a big box of Lego in his lap. And he just was staring at this beautiful box of Harry Potter Lego. And I just heard him saying, Who likes Lego? Not me! To himself.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
So but you gotta listen to the episode to see who's right. And it's kind of fun because this is a full episode where you and I talk and not one time does Andy go, oh, you're.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I mean, trust me. How many Lego sets did he get? I think part of the problem is everyone feels like, oh, we need to buy him something. Yeah, we're backlogged. That kid doesn't need anything. By the way, did our uncles get us presents? Uncle Kurt would show up with stuff. In my head right now, I know what Uncle Kurt showed up with for our birthdays. Scratch tickets?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Like 10 scratch tickets he got from the liquor store he worked at. Yeah. Maybe a thing of pretzels. I mean, it's all pretty good. Yeah, as I think about it. It's all pretty exciting. It's also probably better than a box of Legos for mom and dad because everything was immediately garbage. It didn't just like build up. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe that's the move. Scratchers. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Mackenzie and I really like the snails. Oh, that's good. I was wondering if... Well, the very fact that you called it a population instead of an infestation was pro-snail. No, it's just like there's just like a couple come out when it rains. Okay, gotcha. And there's like these little drains.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
But the whole procedure took a long time. I was going to say, I think the difference between me having three kids and you having none is I wouldn't have gone and checked on the fucking snail. Yeah. But I walked by the snail. When I'd taken the dogs outside, I walked by the snail.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
And I'll just bring a book out there now, and I have to wait for the snail to climb up on this. Now, wait a second. If it happened again, isn't there a chance the snail's like, oh, finally made it back? He's Louise. I think it's got to be a different snail because I walked that first snail a long way away from where he ended up. Interesting. Okay. Yeah. So multiple, this is happening to multiple.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Well, I do think, I don't know if we should just keep doing updates on this podcast about that or start a second one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
with just the snail the snail cast you're a good man and I know snails can be invasive and they're not they're not always you know people aren't always psyched to see snails showing up but I am I mean I think look there's you know some people aren't psyched and some people are like you and Mackenzie totally insane Honey, come outside. The snails are back. The snails.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
All right. Well, for those of you who are still with us. We have our friend Jorma Tacone is joining us, and it's a lovely conversation. He has an incredible, his upbringing is fantastic, and a really good story coming your way. But first, Jeff Tweedy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Oh, yeah. Whoa. Wow. There he is. That deep. You got those deep pipes. He does have deeper pipes than he appears when you first meet him. Yeah, for such a short guy. All right, you said it, not me. You know what pops into my head every time I see your full name printed? What is it that I put myself in quotes? No, no, no.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
So anyway, yeah, it's nice to let my freak flag fly, finally. And your childhood, let's be honest, was pretty much a giant freak flag. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I grew up in Berkeley. Yeah. In the B. You know what I mean? B-town. It's worth a listen. And thanks, everybody, for your patience.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Oh, yeah. I don't know why, but that's always been the way it works for me. I don't even know what that's a reference to. The Pina Colada song. Oh, I see. Okay. Oh, the minute I do a parody song, Josh is in the woods.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I will say Jorma Tacone is a fantastic name. Also, it's interesting that Asa would take that position because I feel like that is in the same ballpark of name.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
I would just say both of you, his name is A-S-A, you're J-O-R-M-A. Both of them, I feel like you have to tell people how to pronounce it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Because I feel like when your parents name you after a kick-ass guitarist, there's two paths. One... your dad just loves a band. But this is the better version. Your dad knew him. He was a friend.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
We're very excited to get back to more shorts, which I promise we will do again soon when it is safe and it is sound. All right. Love you guys. Love you. Hi, Bashi. Hi, Sufi. I have one last thing to talk about. In regards to my spring break trip. Oh, boy. You're really stretching spring break out. Well, it's a piece of it I haven't addressed yet.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Family Trips: JORMA TACCONE Wanted to Ride in a Limousine
Oh, God, I thought they were friends.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
I'm recording. Is Jorma recording over there? Is he right next to you where you can just yell, Jorm, is your P4 recording?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Well, it felt like something that would have been in the Phil Hartman era or something. Yeah, maybe that's why.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
All right, great. Is this how it goes on set? Jorm, you remember to roll the cameras, right? This is filming.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
We quoted that all the time. We were just fans of the show at home, and we were like, that's a good one. Enough that we remember lines from it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
What was your take? Yeah, I just watched it just before this. I didn't remember it at all. In hindsight, I just feel like the first half could have been edited to half the length and then it would have been good. Yeah, that's probably fair, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Because the second half has tons of good bits in a row at the right pace that I didn't remember and really enjoyed, like getting sucked out at the airlock and then... shooting it sideways so it looks like you're going out of an airlock, and then all of a sudden it's the toy action figure version of Bill, and then he's back in.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
There were other good surprises, but the first half just kind of settles into setting up this premise that they live in a world where a big world leader has made laser cats illegal, has collected all the laser cats, but it turned out it was a plot so that they would be the only one with laser cats so all of a sudden they could take over the world.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
No, he's thinking, can I option the rights? This sounds real good.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
You don't keep beers in the fridge in your apartment there? Yeah, what's wrong with you? I'm a fool.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Are you recognized for girls, Jorm? No, it's Lonely Island. It's our stuff? No, it's you guys. It's your work. What about you, Timothy? What do you get most?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
He got him. He delivered. By the way, he did a great job, you know, not to jump to the very end, but he's left at the end. The last guy standing delivered some nice little ending remarks. He was delightful. I know that him and Lorne are buds, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
I appreciated that we were out of the office for the Lorne pitch. We had invaded his dinner. And then we got to reuse his office a lot as Christopher Walken's admiral or chief of the galaxy office.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Yeah. That was when it got my interest. Audience immediately like, no!
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
That's what I'm saying. We've set up a bunch of stuff in the beginning that then at the end when it's paying off, I'm like, now this is good. But there is two minutes where I'm kind of waiting for that. I liked our GPS shot with the rocket ship on top of clearly Google Earth.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
I like that the place that the bad guy, Kenan, is holding all the cats is just the little chicken wire cage that the animal wranglers bring cats in in real life. Yeah. Like where the laziness is just fully like, yeah, that's the cat cage.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Yeah, that's what I mean. So once you get to this midpoint, it's two and a half minutes into a five and a half minute thing is then you're at the thing I already talked about with the airlock. Then we do the whole 3D joke.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Yeah, the little baby puppy pug with the big boo whip that you're talking about, the fact that we just let a cat and then a baby puppy pug just roam around on the ground, and then we added a bunch of lasers as if they're having a knockdown brawl.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Baby puppy pug. Baby puppy pug. Baby puppy pug.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Yeah. There is a cat that died. Which one died? The one that fought the baby puppy bug?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
It's also our casting is so good. That's the whole like post-editorial kind of staff. Yeah. And they've just got just the right look. Who's in there? Nick is in there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Pool. It's Pool. Mike Pool. It's Yonks. Matt Yonks. And it's Nick Millardy. Nick Millardy. And then when we get back to the restaurant, Lorne has left and it's just Chris Dodd.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
I was really hoping he did like it. That would be your rewrite? Yeah. Just let us have the win.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
You probably wouldn't put both. Okay, okay, okay. We'll see. We've got four more to go. You think there's going to be a later one that tops it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
All right, I have a comment. Oh, great. This person's wondering, how far ahead do I need to comment on this video to get on the pod?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Yeah. That's true. This person says, wasn't as good as LaserCats 2. It was better. Oh, shit. Was that a dot, dot, dot? That was from two months ago. Wait, who said that? Who said that? Alex Wallach7683. I knew it. The names always roll off the tongue. This person appreciated they added pool floaties and a bingo visor to Christopher Walken's costume.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
It really gives that spacey futuristic officer look. Appreciate that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Daiquiri Girl. Daiquiri Girl. Maybe we can get the truth from Danger Mouse finally on a little voice note.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Wait, I've got two that I want you guys to order at the bar for next week's episode. One is called Laka. I love that we're prepping next week's episode.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Yeah, when Tim's back. He's probably back. Laka, a liquor flavored with cloudberries. Okay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Is the Smurfs from Finland? It's from somewhere close. De Strumps. I bet it's... Aren't they Belgium, the Smurfs? Yeah. Yeah, I believe they're originally called De Strumps. They might be Belgium. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But they would definitely make a liquor with cloudberries. And then the other one's Valhalla Nordic herbal liquor in Valhalla. Okay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Yeah. So everyone that listens to this pod knows that Liz worked at SNL as a writer as well, my wife. But she left after our second year or first year, but she still lived in New York with me. And so occasionally there'd be a moment where... around, let's say, the breakfast nook where it's like, oh, who's hosting this week? And I'd say, oh, I'm about to go in and pitch to Christopher Walken.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
And then she would give me a good idea. And this was all her. And it was one of the only times in the pitch meeting I said a pitch that actually became a sketch that actually was on the air.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
It maybe happened a few other times, but this was one of the main ones, and it wasn't even mine. And then I immediately enlisted Seth, or you volunteered or whatever, because I knew I needed a pro to bring this kind of real, normal, live sketch good idea to life. And it was to allow everyone in the cast to do their Christopher Walken. It was a Walken family reunion.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Forte is actually very first as a waiter. Threw him a bone. He gives him his drink.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Now, right away, to your point of them doing them, we have the Sandler family reunion from five years ago on here. I see the Jim Carrey family reunion from 10 years ago. Do you think we deserve writing credits on those? Mm-hmm.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Yeah, but the money still came to her, you know what I mean?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
So you've got the musical monologues, you think the game shows. Yeah, you think there's knocks on all the stuff.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
You guys did a full day of filming, and now, did you guys rent places near each other?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
So you were deconstructing him anyway. So you were kind of hearing that complaint and doing a meta deconstruction anyways.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can go see it on Peacock.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Laser Cats! 3D
Were you guys drinking some, what's a local drink? Is there a local drink you guys have there?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Hey, everybody. I don't know if cold opens are appropriate for podcasts, but just before we all hit record, Jorm said he had a great story about medieval times.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
So we will say it's not Criterion, but it's best of Sci-Fi Olympics.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
It is so funny to think of you having to go to Lorne's office and be like, it's the Space Olympics. Approved.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Everyone must have been like, hey, you know that long runway we were building for those guys?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Nobody would accuse it of being mailed in or lazy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Fuck yeah. Another winner. I do want to jump ahead, not to race away from Space Olympics, but this was kind of a perfect Andy episode because we had all of your skills on display in the short, and then we had live Andy in update. Andy, do you remember who you were in update?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
It was a little bit like we were like, all right, plot of Michael Clayton, you have 30 seconds, and then we're pulling your mic.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
It was not Mark Spitz. Oh, you have Alzheimer's. You are so forgetful.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Oh, my God. I won't even say a full word and you'll get it. Okay. Ack. Oh, Kathy. Kathy. Was that my first Kathy? It maybe is. I mean, the fact that you played Kathy, it is crazier than the fact that you wrote a song about the Space Olympics, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Was Kathy in the news? Here was the setup to Kathy. Kathy was a comic strip character. Probably still, they're probably still making Kathys. I don't know. Probably. It's like Garfield. Kathy was just a woman of the world who was just dealing with the many pressures of being a working woman. Is that? Yeah. She had a lot of stuff in her purse. Yeah. Yeah. She had a lot of dating problems. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
That's just, you know, she was a modern woman. Here's the setup to answer your question. Keeve was Kathy in the news. Well, summer's officially over and his kids returned to school. So must vacationing adults return to work here to talk about back to work. Blues is funny section. Favorite Kathy from the comic strip. Kathy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Probably in a lot of them, a lot of those thin intros ended with you rolling out in a different costume. Well, when allowed. Do we want to get into it? Here's a few Cathy's.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I really appreciate how you could find my voice in your features, Andy. Here was my reaction to that. Uh, okay. That's your voice as written by Andy?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah. You want to know the best way to hold on to a man? A leash. My mom drives me crazy. I'm not doing them justice by reading it flatly.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Now I think it might not be the maiden voyage based on my reaction to this line.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah, I was waiting for chocolate. That makes me think I've interacted with Kathy before.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
It's really lovely. It was not judgmental of Kathy. It was more a celebratory character for you to play.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
So to me, in this household, it isn't dying.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
You know, Josh and I interviewed Bill Gates. Whoa. And somehow Wordle came up. And then I said, do you do the spelling bee? And he said, yeah, I do the spelling bee. And I said, do you stop at Genius? And he's like, no, I go to Queen Bee. And I thought it made me laugh so hard that the two people I know who go to Queen Bee are Sandberg and Bill Gates.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I didn't tell him. Mostly because I'm real confident, and do not take this the wrong way, I wasn't getting the sort of cultural literacy from him that he would have any idea who you were.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I've watched the opening and I have not watched the full doc, and the opening is one of the best things I've ever seen. Yeah, that's very true.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I've heard great things about all the SNL docs that they've done in Peacock. There's one on auditioning and the writer's room. But that is the one that I think has left people absolutely in awe.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
And we'll talk about it once I watch it. I probably did not do my homework, but once I watch it, we will talk about it. A few quick memories about the Phelps show. There was definitely a sketch. Do you remember? He started a sketch and he was just lovely. And he was, you know, obviously a legendary athlete, fantastic representative of this country. He started a sketch fully coughing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
This was before any of us knew that about him.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
It wasn't even that. It was more, I think, that you just remembered land is his second best surface. He is aquatic. There's just no way around it. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
It is so funny the way he's built. You just realize, oh, you could swim every day and still be a thousand yards behind this guy because he's just like... Yeah, he was born to win gold medals in swimming events at the Olympics. Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
You want to go to Seth's Corner real quick?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah, it was the cold open. It was the Tina Fey as Palin, Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton cold open. Oh, wow. Yeah. All-time classic. It is. It's an all-time classic.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I think there's maybe five times you maybe had more than I did, but I think five times where I had something in 10 plus years where I was so confident. And by the way, this confidence was based more on Tina and Amy than anything I'd put on the page. I was so confident it was going to crush that I actually watched it on the floor as opposed to behind a bleacher through webbed fingers.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
One of my friends once decided after a long night of drinking, we were at a restaurant that had a neon World Cup 94 sign. And he decided he was going to steal it. He needed it. And we were like, don't steal it. And he put it under his coat and walked out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Was this the first Palin? It was the first Palin.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
It was incredibly helpful, obviously, to have somebody like Tina involved who brought a lot of both performing slash writing skills. People forget she was not on the cast at the time. She would come back to do these while she was also doing 30 Rock. One could argue that her sort of de facto joining the cast for a couple of months really lends to end-Golden-era status. Yeah, I agree.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
But yeah, it was thrilling because we had to, you know, we'll keep talking about them as they go, but it was the... Maybe the most I felt, like you guys felt, which is that, oh, now we got to do one better than that one. Right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah, if my doorman needs it. The way Lorne tells it is both Robert De Niro and his doorman told him on the same day. That's better, yeah. That's right. And it's just at that point.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah, you were. My spot on De Niro. And, oh, I will say there's another thing that happens. I don't quite understand which part of this it is that makes Lorne do this, but people were, again, frothing for it before it even started, which is a nice way to start with a cold open, right? And then it started crushing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
And I remember that was one of those times where Lauren under the bleacher said, get Keith, because he was upset where the flags were in the sketch. And again, it's so rare where you have written something and you're standing next to Lauren and it's just destroying. And in your head, it's the day he turns and just gives you a firm handshake and said, I knew you could do it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
And I would say what he looked like to the people who worked there was a guy with a giant neon sign under his coat with a cord dragging behind him. They called the cops and he ran out of the restaurant and then up, we were in Chicago, up the stairs to the L and was waiting for his train and then he would have a good escape.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I know that exact thing. Yeah. It's such a funny move because the amount you want to say, I'm positive we can move them. Between dress and air, I'm positive we can move the flag.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
If you said that, though, to Lauren, if you said, you're going to miss the joke, and this is, again, one of his, I think part of it is, I'm not going to let people get too low. I'm not going to let people get too high. Right, right. And if you said, you just missed a joke, he would say, I know that there's good jokes. Yeah. You know, he'd make you feel silly for being needy. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Almost like, I know I pay you to write good jokes and I know you can do it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah. You have to play it real cool. He's good at what he does.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yes. Tell me about it. I can't really remember.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
They ought to shake that out. We're like, we're doing the show. All I will say is now, again, sometimes it takes a full like 17 years. I definitely should have written a Justice League sketch where every time Aquaman talked, he was super bad at talking. He was like quiet and like bubbles in his mouth. And it was just a lot of Superman being like, look, guys, he's not up here a lot.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah. Kenwood Myers. Who did Andy play in it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
And two cops walked up and like in the history of being a cop, it was just clearly the easiest nab of all time. It's like, hey, you're under arrest. And he's like, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Oh my gosh. Will you guys do something for me?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Go to dress. It's Don's script. Don Roy King, the director. And if you page down after all the things... There's a blank piece after the time codes of the cold open, and clearly someone has done a drawing of where Tina and Amy are, and the purpose of the drawing is where the flag should be. Wait, what page are you? Page 10.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
We're going to put this in the show notes just so you can see. While that famous sketch was crushing, somebody had to make this tiny drawing. Tell them about the details, you guys. There's a really funny game show called Quiz Bowl that Lutz, Jost, and Rich wrote, Simon.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
It was like a public school kid, three kids, Casey Wilson, Bobby Moynihan, who were new to the cast, Kenan Thompson, and then on the other side, it was Forte, Poehler, and Michael Phelps, and they were homeschooled, and they were just some weird homeschooled weirdos. And Wig was their mom, and she kept wandering out to complain about answers that she thought were actually right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Also, Sudeikis is the host and he's getting very frustrated that the Richmond High kids aren't buzzing in.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Whatever sort of iciness was under the bleachers at the party, I think that was all in the past.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I don't blame any young writer who makes the choice not to go over, but... Of course. If you did sort of push through that, that was the most encouraging and warmest version, for sure.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
He wants the flags in the right place too. Yeah. Seriously. Fucking detail. Honestly. By the way, the flags in the right places is because he does care about it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
The last time I saw him, I remember one of the first things he said was some version of, how funny was this cast member in that sketch? And it had been the last show that had aired. And I thought, oh, that's really nice. Yeah, he still cares, man. And then I felt like I maybe played it wrong because I was like, what was when I was funny? Oh, is that what you did?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I was like, they're not here right now. I am. What was I funny in? Dad! Dad! The waiter was there, and so the waiters heard it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
That's what I should, you know what? Because he would, a Lorne note, it was always like, it looks like the flag's coming out of their head. Which, you know, I think I don't have to tell everybody here what it looks like. There's a flag behind somebody, it looks like it's coming out of their head. I should start doing my monologue with a flag coming out of my head.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
And that'll be the way to know if he's watching. Just to know if he loves you. If he's watching, yeah. He just walks in mid-monologue. He's like, very funny. Get the fucking flag out of there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
All right, so here's what's coming up. Hay is coming up. Extreme Challenge is coming up. Ross Trent is coming up. And everyone's a critic is coming up.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Well, this was the gauntlet. We had t-shirts printed up that said the gauntlet because we did... Ten in a row, right? Ten shows in eight weeks.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
All right, so Space Olympics, I don't have to tell you guys, not historically the biggest hit off Incredibad. A lot of songs off Incredibad are going to land with a great deal more fanfare when they become shorts. Yet it's the first one you decide to do for the season premiere of SNL. Is it because Phelps is the host?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah, I do. She was at a park and then had to get it on tape before she forgot it. Hey, also, I will have seen you guys all in person because this is airing after the 50th, and obviously we're going to talk about the 50th. Oh, wow. But it hasn't happened yet. If you're listening to this, the 50th has happened, but we don't know how it went. I bet it was great. I think so. All right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I can't wait to see you guys there, which is in our future and our listeners' past, and also I love you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Now, the best thing about this, there's so many great things. He's barely in it. Right. So it's not like you make it about him. Right. You almost have to, as a viewer, do the work of, oh, I bet they did this because he was there. Even people who don't know how TV works were probably like, and then he didn't have time to do the pre-tape. Yeah. It excuses it. Very much so.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Olympic-themed episodes are interesting because you think during the Summer Olympics that it will be the biggest, it is the biggest story in the world. And then by September when the show premieres, it's kind of already not.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah. Phelpsie came in hosted, and also I remember sitting in that house that we talked about at length during the Incredibest episodes. You played Space Olympics for me, Andy, and I laughed so hard that I was wheezing. Now, it is a certain kind of song that I love a great deal, which is it's a lot about logistics and big singing about small things. And again, I keep tipping. I wish it would rain.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
It is the same thing, kind of. Yeah. Almost a waste of time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Like one of those, like, oh. He got this idea and woke up at 7 a.m. He's like, I got to get it down. I got to lay down track.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Some of the visuals that we get in the long opening vamp, I mean, you do yell reach for the stars pretty early. Right, which is a hilarious joke. We see you, and there is a moment where the audience laughs at your look. You have white hair. It's a very good wig. Very good. You're sashed, good outfit. You're out by a city field, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah, so you're having fun on the set, but like there's a laugh and then it's so much vamping that by the time you actually start singing, people have become completely used to you and they don't think there's anything funny about your look anymore.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
It's pretty spongy. It is a very inspirational song about the Space Olympics. Andy yells out...
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Okay. Weird space guy. Yeah. Skyline of red plateaus. That's a very Andy line.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
He's got one of those really nice dandy lines. Your name echoes in the halls of the universe. Feels like it's a couple syllables too long, but you make it work. I love that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
You're just saying you hate it. And I should say, I laughed when I heard it. I liked it less when I saw it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I would say first verse establishes there's a Space Olympics. Yeah. And that it's the year 3022. Second verse is the rules of the Space Olympics, and it is immediately, they are not grand at all.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
That's very, very normal-looking Junior Suite. I believe one shot of Phelps is you screaming in his ear, it's the motherfucking Space Olympics.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
One shot. One shot. Then third verse is now, at first it was just kind of bad, now stuff's going wrong.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
That's my favorite line. Yeah. I just like the details of that. Well, then they start canceling events.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
And someone who will not be mean accidentally gets self-destruct.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
I was reading it that what he has done to sort of throw the Space Olympics into chaos, those were his sins. And hitting the self-destruct. Yeah. And also he had made the accounting errors. Right. And you did the most Andy face of like, all of a sudden you were definitely Andy and not that dude. Yeah. Maybe messed up the books. Got it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
hurting that's why he's remembering people coming over to tell him to take it down in the house like whoa whoa whoa the horses are gonna get scared so you were behaving as a modern human in a way that was inappropriate for medieval times that's right you could say that where famously almost everything went everything was allowed yeah no no no that didn't fly at medieval times yeah well i don't know if this bodes well for the future of cold opens on the pod
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
The last couplet, though, is shocking and resonates more than anything. Do you remember the end of it? It's the craziest left turn.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Space Olympics
Yeah. All of a sudden that this has been a love song to someone. Yeah. Yeah, I guess. Space Olympics song about just all about logistics of Space Olympics. But it turned out that you had written it to a woman and you wanted to let them know that no one could take it. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Best Look in the World
says corner you're all invited says corner it's happening right now i think it was
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Yes. It's a Let's Go Sailing song that my friend Shayna is the lead singer of that band. And we put that in, I think, a bunch of things because it's lovely music. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
We're back. All of us are back.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Her music age is fine.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I was going to say, like, it's such a bummer that, like, and maybe it's not a bummer. Maybe it was supposed to be this, but Dear Sister is, like, shot super last minute at, like, a hotel up the street and, like, no lighting. It's super shitty. And then this one is like, well, he put some effort into it looking good and to a concept that doesn't deserve it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Please. Here's a part of the show where Seth takes some boxes. I don't know. Is that helpful? Oh, no one asked, but it's welcome. Okay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Oh, that's right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
It's so weird because it would be such a nice place to hang out and no one is allowed there except for the person whose office it is.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
We would do it all the time, too. Like, hey, Stacy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Absolutely, Seth. Thank you for bringing it up. Fantasy football.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Fantasy football people, it would be like anybody who has like a plus 20, like a druid or an elf is my favorite characters. But yeah, I would say those are my tops. All right, so obviously... It's Brock Purdy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
It's crazy how much work they do. Just hardest working men and women in show business.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
In that same audio way of it, this feeling a tiny bit redundant of other things that we've done. I believe I just lifted the beat from another thing and then it's just like swapped out stuff. Like I feel like this one was also like a... Could have been different, more different. I mean, I always like doing these beats. There's something like catchy about them, but no.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I do kind of remember having a little bit of that feeling of like, this isn't as important as what's happening.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Wait, I didn't rewatch it, though. Did it immediately pop off, though? Like, audience, like, just loved it. Yeah. Oh, it's destroyed. Makes sense. Makes sense.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Great, great stuff.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Oh. Can we talk about the end of Four Brothers just real quick? Because it has one of my favorite endings of any fucking movie ever.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
They're four adoptive brothers, and then they get...
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
put upon for some reason fucked over by like a crime boss or something or they have to kill so many fucking people is this is my vague remembrance of the movie but at the very end of the movie the way that they deal with the fact that they've murdered everyone and then the police come up to them like on a porch is my remembrance of like on their family home that they protected or whatever and they're like so what are we gonna do about this and they look up at the cop and they're like self-defense and then they smiles real big he goes self-defense and then you're like
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Oh, that's fucking like chef's kiss, like logic cleared up.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Okay, well now I'm jealous that I didn't get one. Why didn't you get me one, asshole?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I mean, you also kind of look like him. You know what I mean?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Handsome, ripped abs, all that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I got to say, it's feeling sadder to me now that we're pointing out that we're not punting, but that we're maybe not doing our best work. Because you're right. This was a really good show. A lot of eyeballs on the show. And maybe we didn't do our job as well as we should have.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
This does remind me of when you went to Prague or something, Andy, and I asked you if you would give me a shot glass from there and you did. I can't remember where you were.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Andy, can you remember what animals you talked to that week?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I will say there was always a thing at table reads when something was like three pages, I would be like, yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Yeah, it was really nice of you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
How quickly you get that concept from just that intro.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Wait, so how was it for you, Seth? Like, how stressful was that for you on those?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Yeah, that's true. They do too.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
It was almost like the players were ready for prime time, you could say.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
No, but this was like sort of animation and it was the first time that I was doing a lot of animation and I was only bummed that it didn't air because it was so fucking weird and different than anything we'd done. But it wasn't, I don't remember it being good necessarily.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Oh, I love it here. Dum de dum de dum de dum de dum. Oh, hey, man, how's it going? Peter. How's the weather? Just kidding, it's sunny. You're the sun.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Yeah, so have you seen Randy lately?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I feel bad for him. He's just such a great guy. But, you know, I've noticed that he has been porking up recently. And, you know, it's the cloud was a real bummer. So the sun made a break.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
She's a very funny lady.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
You talked about rocket money and now this?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I talked to her and I know for a fact that she listens to every episode of this. So Andy, this is your opportunity to apologize to her directly. Go ahead.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I dislike it, Seth. Thank you. And anybody out there who's trying to feed my kids junk food, you can talk to Thrive Market because they don't do that. And thank you so much, Seth, for bringing that up. I think I tied it back in really nicely.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Seth's Corner, you're all invited. Seth's Corner, it's happening right now. Take it away, Seth.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Wait, can I talk about this, though? So how many shorts have not aired? Is it only four or five that have ever not aired? Right. Sunday out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
It's always weird to have a reunion with people. When you didn't record in the same room, hard to have a reunion. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
That's high class, not praise from two people I respect.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Yeah, there's a thesis statement.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Oh, God. Seth, the way that you and Neil Brennan don't like things is my favorite. It's like you, Emily Spivey, Neil Brennan are like my favorite when you don't like something. But when you in particular don't like something that we've done, it's my favorite thing. I'm like weirdly proud. I'm like, I'm so giddily like, oh, great. Seth really didn't appreciate this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Classic purchase.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I think we did. I had a great time. I want to toast you guys. I want to toast women of SNL. And I think this is a very important month that we're celebrating.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
And I want to thank you guys for being both my friends, but also like my partners in this podcast. So thank you so much to you guys. Fuck.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Without jobs. Even that J-Tank on empty.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I mean, that's an outside perspective, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Yeah. It was like a choice to just tune out and be with the gang. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Not to ruin, like, you know, surprise, surprise. Spoiler, yeah. Spoiler.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I'm sorry. This is Phil and Chris's favorite.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
I weirdly felt like I was more judgmental about it than Keeve was. Like, I feel like Keeve kept trying to defend at me. Like, yeah, no, that's, it's like a punk rock and stuff. Like, I don't know if he said exactly that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Maybe you're thinking of the song and not the actual video.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Oh, what a great guy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
It's a fucking highlight. That's a life highlight.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Oh, are we going to talk about our best short ever?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Yeah, at least 60% of the time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Totally is like Gossip Girl parody kind of thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Oh, yeah. I mean, I wrote it, but it was like a very lazy. I don't even know why we did.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Yeah, but it was like I wrote it and it was even like, yeah, I mean, it was I think the only thing that's interesting about it is like that we did a tonal thing and then we did this a lot. But there's in almost every one of these shows or movies, there's a hey, hey scene where people come up and say, hey, and then the other person says, hey, it's in.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Almost everything, which is the only interesting observation I'll say about it. And then the joke is just that he's talking about his baby wiener or something. Like, what is this ding dong?
