Check responssees set upp required compatibility and availability varies eighteen plus St So We got a heart out and Andy iss going to take off at a certain point. What do we think about this is like podcast etiquette being last one to join first one to say you got a heart out? Like where does that? I think it depends on if you offered up other times that were rejected by Yorm. I think I think that's what you call Gee shit. Yeah, thank you. This is very disappointing Andy because a lot of people were commenting the last episode. and again, you clearly didn't have a heart out because you had no respect for anyone's out. Yeah Mine wasn't even a heart out. I just sort of had a rolling soft out and you still wouldn't let me go And my take was that you are away from your family shooting a movie and you're finding a lot of connection in the pod I think we're filling a gap that your family is not present to provide you. Is that right, Andy? I think everyone is as relaxed as their situation And I think it's a rolling situation. Can I tell you guys a lesson that I've really learned from the three of you? It needed the three of you because I really didn't have a movie career And what I've learned from the three of you, even working on Hot Rod, you know, where I was on a movie all three of you there is that movies are not fun to make and it's not fun to be around people who are making movies. I think that's accurate. That's the pre pro part. so fun to watch. moovies are so fun to watch, especially the ones you guys make, but my goodness, like, you know, you' usedop. I said to Andy, like, whereere are you going to be on Tuesday? Youre gonna be on set? I'll stop by. And it's just like, I mean, Andy loves me. You guys know how much he loves me and just a real old shoulder the idea of me st. It was almost like Seth when you invite someone to a Broadway show and then your reaction to that for me is how you felt. Like rejected when I was like, Hey, do you want to go see this Broadway show? And you were like, No, exclamation. Are you sure? No I said what the show was. No. that's kind of how you felt, right? Yeah. But visiting a movie set is also you always think you wantan to do it. Like that's so cool. They're shooting here. Let's go and you get there and within ten minutes, you're like, all right, I'm just at somebody's work and it's really boring. So everyone's working so hard and so stressed out and you never have enough money no matter how much money you have and you're always wasting a great time That's interesting though. o, ye money. Bring a suitcase full of cash. It's also this movie isn't like a goofy loose set. Yeah. It's like a little bit more serious. And can I push back on that When I visited Andy and had lunch with him, it was lovely. and you know come have lunch with me. Yeah. I'm also producing and there's like a million fires to put out at lunch every day. I don't know what to tell you, it sucks. They' actual fireres. But the gratitude for getting to do it, the privilege, Andy. It's an honor and a privilege and I count my lucky stars every day, but it's not a like bro hang Andy skip the media training. This is what I want to share with our listeners, which is not something maybe they know, especially, you know, oh my God. Andy Sandber. L if you're ever, for example, at a charity auction and one of the items is stop by set for a movie, that just throwing, I don't care how good a cause it is. You're just throwing that money away. When we were shooting pop star, people would swing by all the time and it was perfect because it's just like joke bag goof vibe. You want a party atmosphere. Yeah. It just depends on the project. But It's a very seminal time for I don't even know if I'm using that word, right? but it's tenth anniversary of pop star twenty fifth anniversary of Wet hot. W. Wow American summer. And I had Rud on the show, and then I also interviewed Rud at the Tribecca Film Festival likeike for a panel for Rud And we talked a lot about Wed Hot, which it does seem like that was genuinely as fun to make as it was to watch because it was like all dudes the same age who were hanging out at they were basically at camp while they were making a movie about camp. Yes. You can tell, you can tell that one, I think is yeah, exactly that. He shared this story. so it was in a public setting and it makes me laugh so hard every time I've heard Paul say it, which is that David Hyde Pierce, who was like by far the biggest star in that movie. He showed up like a few weeks late And they were basically every night they were like partying in this common area and staying up till all hours, despite the fact they were super early couple times. And the first time they met David Hyde Pierce, he walked into like a raging party at like two in the morning. And when he did Rud said it was like a record scratch moment where everybody got quiet and then Ken Marina said Frazier. But then also that David Hyd Pierce was just coming down to hang. It was like the most fun guy in the world. He was not in any way, shape or form arriving with Frazer. Frazier energy. F Because somebody's got a heart out and we're desperate to get to stumbling. Can I do a little clean upp from last week? Yes. If you could tell me everything that happened last week because I didn't listen, that' would be great. Well we talked about bitch stole my line What was X versus Sver the full title? Ballistic. Ballistic, Con, X versus Sver. Oh, that's right. Oh yeah, So we'reking about Colon movies. Batman v Superman Colon Dawn of Justice Sicario Con Day of the Soldato. rightight? And someone and again, didn't know work on the research. Someone did say in the comments that I guess it was it was titled Day of the Soldato and then maybe late in the game, they were like, Let's remind everybody this is a Sicario. Yeah, that one is fascinating because Sicario is like a very classy movie Yeah. You don't usually do a colon title for that kind of ament You mean you were surprised not just Scario two. Yeah. This one is interesting to me It's Dragon Wars Colin D warar. Dragon Wars Poland. Cital D Tysonar I don't know Dragon Wars. It sounds like something I would watch. Does anyone know what the D stands for Oh, you know what it stands for your That seems like that seems like they're using the colon as an AKA. It's like, I don't know. what if it's dremamine though? Like and it's about nausea. Yeah. I mean, if it's not dragon again, it it's really funny. Dragon Wars, colon, Dragon Wars This is this is a I don't know this movie, but it's Korean. So this is maybe lost in translation. Yeah. but pretty great. Yeah. Oh and it is a game because Dragon Wars is a role playing game. It does bring to mind Bad Lieutenant port of call New Orleans New Orleich was which also Quid sent in. 'causeuse wasn't the first Bad Lieutenant also kind of an art film in its way? Yeah, but then that was like best of Verner Herzog. The second one is certainly Herzog. Make Mistake. We're big Portool Newle. P New Orleans is Iuuana. Iiguana. It's Peak Nicholas Cage And the more I by the way, can I just say, Nicholas Cage did the greatest interview in the New York Times in twenty nineteen. He ran it back with the same interviewer just recently doing Spider Man Noir press. And this guy is I think it's David Marcesy. gota check though hold on I got l check. Just do yourself a favor, favor No no, no, just leave that t. No, no, do both. Do both. Do yourself a favor Babor. It's David Marczy and he does back to back two of the greatest interviews of Nicholas Cage and Nicholas Cage He is not ever doing things without it being a choice. And that's what's so great about Porticall New Orleans. he's just Do you remember the scene where he's threatening a woman with her oxygen tank or he's threatening her son? like Basically like cinches or oxygen tank in old age. I don't remember. I need to rewatch that same. And you know our buddy Deter von Kunh. Rest in peace, Val Kilmer. Oh right. Yeahah. they're fucking killing it together. Yeah Dieter van Kh. It's really b. I remember being under the influence watching that movie and being hugely entertained. It was the it's one of the few movies we all watch together in SNL And it was Je That's right Yeah. At Joe's house. No we watched it in the writer literally in the writerouse. Oh, that's right. We were like, we gotta watch this. And it was like Monday at like three PM. so we were something. So we were just like, no one's writing right now anyways. We're just gonna put it on. And a bunch of people came and sat down and started watching it. So we were just drinking. Yeah. I think it might have been a Monday night because we were drinking Yeah. So it couldn't have been But it was the most because we did not do that often. There was the Beowwulf screaming Jesus, the Beowolf screaming and then Portualall New Orleans. Anyway But that wasn't at SNL of course. No, no, that was in a proper theater, but that was everybody the first time Yeah. Legends of the Guardians, Colon, the Owls of Gahuli. Oh yeah yeah. We know about the Ghul. Gahuli GA apostrope H O O Eactly Snyder animated. Is it not Gahhul? It's G. He always said Gahhul, but I don't know if that's. It might be Gahhul. Yeah. It's Ghul. It's like a World War two Nazi movie, but starring Owls. Is it really A very, very clear allegory. Zach Snyder directing animation, right? Yeah Oh my gosh. And it was in three D and you could get the three D Blu ray and watch it at home on your three D TV, right when that was a thing. And so it was in three Hold Defves. We all watched it in three D together at my house. Oh, you watched I was a Beahuli together? Yeah, that's why we know it so well. What was your takeaway of that one? Ex like was it is that a good one I don't remember these are all like fifteen years ago now, but Well we had fun just saying The owls of Goo and chsing our drinks and watching these owls talk like fly out of the TV towards your face. I remember I could be wrong. I remember going into it being like, this is going to be so crazy and funny. And then like halfway through being like, this is slightly too good to be funny. Yeah. was it was on the edge. It was. there are moments. And there are like fascist stowels taking over and they're like mounting a rebellion against them. Well, that part was good. And it also just looks fucking amazing.ike you can't front on the lighting. It's just so good It was the Alchemy of Porticol New Orleans was exactly the movie, I think we all wanted it to be from start to finish because exceeds expectation. Yeah. I mean, look at the detailing on this mask. Yeah. Yep. That's straight out of Goohoule. You know what I mean? I mean That's the Goohoulean craftsmanship. This really made me laugh. Somebody said fifteen years ago They heard Colin Hanks on a podcast Refer to his dad Tom Hanks movie Bridge of Spies as spy Bridge Colin. Bridge spies. Original title. I'm gonna see Colin today guys. Oh God, tell him you got a shout out for his and well confirm, confirm he I'm actually gonna I'm gonna see both of them. so I can also hopefully I'll congratulate him in front of his dad so that can go You called it what? How dare you Boy Multiple Quids, of course, pointed out Pop star Colin never stoped Never stopping, but of course that's that doesn't count because that's comedy. Correct. If it's comedy, it does not count. if it's intentionally funny, like don't be a menace toouthentral Wldd drinking yourre in the hood or something, right? Yeah. Yeah. Every naked gun movie had one. Yeah.. Just FYI. So when you miss Yarm, it's a lot of Col and stuff. Yeah, no, no. I mean, I do wish we had done the McGruber two one. I thought that was really good What was it again? It was Maguber to Colen Hawaiian gold col in the search for Hawaiian gold. T colon. It is very funny, but I just want to time check fourteen minutes first McGruber reference.. And we're not even done with cleaning up. So you'reggesting McGruber is Yn's newew Bay arerea. Yeah. I'm from the bay, so I don't even notice him talk about M. Really? I'm from the bay. I also did Mcruber. Yeah. what's up I'm from the bay Mcrrouber M Colon, Muver, Colon, Curlly gold.ver your dead body also is available on VOD guys. Well I thought you'd left that behind in the press cycle. No, it's VOD now. You can get it on on demand guys watch itOD Do yourself a favor. Do your it's the best way to watch it guys. I know we said the theaters, but now it's VODs actually Better on VOD. Do yourself a favor Do yourself a favor. Oh, there's another one Weird back Exclamation point, a dinosaur story. That's That's now That's genuinely two sentences. 'cause you're like, who's back? And then the second half answers a question you ask, which is nice. We're back with an exclamation point, a dinosaur story That can't be real. Yeah, nineteen ninety three. I like that though because most of these aren't necessary. That first one is like, who. Wow, that really made me laugh ye. Interesting fact about that because they didn't do want to do Esclamation point colon. There's no colon. I guess it's two sentences. Yeah. The first sentence is were're back and the second sentence is a dinosaur. It's a dinosaurs Yeah dinosaur. It's not a dinosaur story. This is his story. I bet they had a lot of arguments about grammar onough. It's one dinosaur's story. There's multiple dinosaurs on the cover, but it's only one of their stories. One of them is is telling it to guess which one. Or it's about one of them truly. The protagonist, the protagosaur. Potagaur about We talked about horseplay and Andy's wonderful Robert Smith from the Cure and horseplay. We've often also talking Hawkin. What fuck is wrong with me? We've also talked you shrooming, bro, be real. You shom? I thought we were doing an animated Bayol rewatch, so I took some shrooms. I forgot. So do not recommend. Do not recommend. Robert Smith, I've always talked about when a sketch has music you can't clear, it does not repeat And so multiple people said, Ohh my God, I've seen that episode on Pacock before And at Good Kight's, Andy's dressed like Robert Smith's from the Cure with no context. Oh, interesting. Because horseplay doesn't air and they have they've taken it out of the repeat. so because they didn't want to pay for all the song clearance. Yeah. so it's just weird alling it? I guess not. Huh. More than one person said it, so there you go. Yoom. Yoom, you want to call the NBC lawyers? Call it. Y. Y Call it got right up on the m. Hey, your light and light Kiv is called a Panach in France. Oo, That's. exxplain this. What is this? I missed this. This isandy This is a beer with like a sparkling lemonade. Oh is a panach. Oh, wait, what's a michchelada? Isn't that the same thing? Michelada is a beer with a little bit of lime juice and of and a little tomato juice and a little hot sauce. Tomato juice. Yeah That Micheladaato juice.'t O sometimes clam juice. By the way, guys, we're into June. It's officially the season for summertime specials Oh yeah, Bing bong. Whats summerime was summime was an exp fan. It was It was like Makers or Jack and it was sevened up in a bunch of fresh lime juice. is that right? Little key limes, specifically. Yeah. Squeezing in little key limes. Yeah. Refreshing is fuck. Dud's a for. idea of just Do yourself a flavor. Do yourself a favor, deighor Would you buy a smaller than a normal sized lemon squeezer to squeeze your little key limes? Did you have like a little cut them in half hands squeeze and dump the whole thing in the drink. So you' gott manipulate that. Gta gotta be pool side though. You gotta be pull side. The fact you guys did that unironically to enjoy it, it also sounds like something Connor for real would have done. Can we name drop where we were doing it the most A Drew Carey's house Yeah the pool Drew was never. Drew Crey was not there. This is a Jeff We should give credit where it's dude Jeff Davis is the originator of this drink as far as I know. Oh, really. And he was the one that introduced all of us to it and he would house itit for Drew Carerey when Drew Carerey was out of town and we would just go up to the Hollywood Hills and swim in his pool. This is always preestimated. It was great. It was a great time And there was also another name for the drink, but we can cut this part out but it was called the if you Well it was calledad. shit.

Oh It was a long walk, but it was really, really. It Couldn't have been more worth it. Thank. How did I not see it coming? Well, it was a long walk. But you know what? It's consistent because I couldn't remember it last week either. Yeah. He wove around some trees and then he got back on the path and so you mean Job's Asistant?

This deacious crrumb is doing the wig part By the way, never has a character's name been more describing that character. Salacious Krub.. It's almost like he let the Muppet characters get named by the Muppet people I'll do b for Tunday, You name her whatever want. And they're like, All right, we're gonna giveem a real fragggle rock name. No U Nothingiss your arm was I said because I'd been trapped into it by a Merary fuck kill question, I said that I would fuck an e walk right as Lexi walked past And what do you think her reaction would be? Well, Bunchbel said based on the fact that like she had no reaction is that maybe she wasn't surprised by this at all And I think I realize the reason. whichs just when I when I get frisky, Andy, this one's for you. Andy. Andy Bib Bib. When I get frisky, I do I do ask for a little yub nub. Job a I looked at the spelling of Calacious Crum and the first thing I found was artwork depicting Calacious Crum on the red carpet at the Met Gala Oh yeah. Oh, that's what like do. Oh, that's aalacious crum. Yeah. That's a great fucking, I would want that on a wall. at Karen cast, I don't know what that is. I hope that they're not racist. Probably much of fascist owl. I said I stepped on a dck and said Daily Planet when we're talking about Spider Man. Peter Parker works at the Daily buugle Hey Jonah Jameson Sorry for that everybody. For a guy who like knows a lot about com. Superman is at the. Yeah. Yeahah, ye, Superman iss at the planant.. And both those publications come out weekly or No they both tanks. They don' They don't make them anymore. prrint is dead guys. They They both shifted to online digital video. Digital video. news vlogs now Yeah, but they have a great like spelling app and worlds kind of like It's mostly word game stuff. I also said the Newman He died in the Porta Potty in Jurassic Park. That's incorrect. He died when the the cute little dinosaur spit has it on his face. Yeah, he's in. He's in a storm. he's falling all over the place. Yeah. look like a nice little one. Yeah, good? Yeah, it's good This very decent new. We' really closing and I'm me wrapping up comments, but probablyll's worth mentioning that someone wrote in' been looking forward to the I Just Had Sex episode since the podcast started. Now that we're two shorts away, I'm so excited that I only have to wait eight more weeks. That's true. Well we have a lot of cleanup. We also haven't even done the back half of Turtlenck and Chain yet. No, so let's do that first Let's do stumbling. Rud's back and it' stumbling. Speaking of shorts that have music issues, so they're hard to find, but I did just Google it for anybody listening here that wants to watch it You can find it. If you Google it, there's somebody has it on Instagram, it comes up right away and then there's a Live from New York Reddit, that's the one we're going to watch when we watch it that I just re You're trying to get the Instagram person sued, Keeeve real Well, yeah, it's almost like we want people to check it out, but there's no real way to quampp it. Yeah. can. Yeah, you don't have to quump this one. but you can find it just not through normal channels. Maybe that's nice for our listeners not to have the pressure of feeling they're quampping something. You can just watch it for pleasure. Yeah, take a week off from like quamp Yeah quamp hunt. Yeah, dump the quampp omething qu. Oh, by the way, you know, obviously, we added a bunch of tags to last week's episode. Yeah. All right. Someone said, what is this? This is turning into the Qaltons Jesus. I wish I hadn't left. I don't know. I mean, we support a lot jokes It's good every now and then to show people we're not just delighted by everything. It's not just blind positivity. Yeah You're gonna have to use a little bit of Gahleian craftsmanship if you. Okay get detailed. Re really forge that shit That was not Are you saying that was not that was not a Gahulan one? It was not a Gahooin's back. S you're on fire today, but like not the way that regular words. Yeah Yeah. I've also misseda words like talked and had. Okay. so stumbling, talk us through it Where do we begin with old Stumbling? Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe this was another thing where I had like the first line of it written down in my notes app. What was the line? Well, in the original nine to five, it's Stumble out of bed, right? Is the first line? Yeah,es. Let's confirm that I was right all along I believe she stumbles to the kitchen and pours herself a cup of morning ambition, cup of ambition. I don't know, is it morning? I think it's just I just. she wouldn't say morning but Yeahah you can f. Its tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen. Gotch. And that is something I found out after we had completed the whole short. That's my favorite ship She was like, oh, and we were wrong. And what did she pour herself? Pour herself a cup of ambition, obviously, that I knew But I think I'd flip flopped them. I thought it was stumble out of bed and I tumbled to the kitchen. But it's actually like the whole short should have been called tumbling So it was another just like too many times joke of like, what if instead of being the song nine to five, it was just she just kept stumbling everywhere and all the things she did.ly, nobody on this pod can correct you if you're wrong 'cause none of us were there at the inception It's december eleventh, twenty ten And my wife is pregnant and due in like a week or two in sixteen days was the actual due date. And I think she had made a deal with me like, hey, in December, when I'm going to be that pregnant, can you not do the show all the time And I had started not doing the show. So I wasn't there at the beginning of the week and then I did come in towards the end of the week if you're having a memory of me on set. I was Is this John Solomon? Yes. I have voice notes from John Solomon and from mister Paul Rud about it. Fantastic. I have not listened. So were you living in New York City though, Keave still Yes, yes. Okay, gotcha. So you weren't like flying and you were just like late in the m. come in. Yeah. Our first daughter was born in New York City. Oh, this is the first one. And then where you were where were you? you were gone Africa, it was probably in Africa. He're saying that like it's a joke, but around here is when you went to Kenya. Is this true? Yeahah, I think so. I'll do my own pot about that. It's fine. Just keep them great. It's fine. It's a whole thing. We should actually talk about that one, but you should do the slightest search of your emails to find out when you actually did it. Yeah, that's f But yeah, but Y' still off. So you and Solomon did it, and then I'll chime in when I joined if you get to that point. Well first off mypologies to John Solomon even fucking remember that that this is one we did together. But now that you've said a keve, I remember When you came in later, we were having an issue because there was like blank spots in the song and it was idling and it felt lame. And you were like, you should add a big stumblin at the end of each section and put a big graphic on the screen did make it have a lot better energy. Was that during editing? During edit. Yeahah. interesteresting. Good job, Keith. Okay, so that was the idea I had then that it was me And it would just is exactly what you would think. Like Let's trying to think of as many like weird, funny scenarios that you could be stumbling through And I knew Rud would be funny doing the Stumbling because his physical comedy is so good. That's where I wanted to I know not necessarily all your ideas were dependent on who the host was, but this is a perfect person for Stumbling Correct. He's so good at doing physical performance that is both sarcastic and grounded at the same time. You know what I mean? Since we were just talking about Wet Hot. Yeah, his performance in Wed Hot is fucking phenomenal. Yeah. First of all, him talking about his gurnnal. Don't you mean your journal? All time. Yeah.uck ye. is incredible. but his His like flipping his body around in exactly the way that Andy just described it. That sort of exllent moment of putting your what is it, your forkes dishes the. I said it to him the other day in front of a bunch of people, which is, I think the first time I saw Rud was in Cider House Rules. So I saw him in a drama first. and then when he was in wet hot, when I first saw him on screen, I'm like This dude's not. ' those I knew a lot of those people from Chicago already as being in like, you know from a Bright Citens' Brigade on television What's this dude doing with them? And then by the end of that scene, I'm like, Oh, o, he's that's a comedy icon. It's one of the great, I don't know, introductions to a character I've ever seen. Reminds me a little bit of the introduction to Mary, you O Mary. the petulance and physicality of it. obiously growowing yourself against your own petulance. Yeah, it's really, really funny and fun to watch. Had he already been in Stella shorts and stuff by the time Wed Hot came out? I can't remember which came I don't think so Only because he just told me the story. He had worked with Zach Orth who knew those dudes in Romeo and Juliet And then he like went and saw Those guys, those state guys do a show, and David Wayne basically went up to him and was like, Hey we're trying to money for this movie. Would you be interested in like reading apart for it? So I think Wed Hot was his introduction into that world. Amazing. Hell of an interest. I saw Wed Hott American Summer at Sundance when it premiered. God damn. And then we went to Westwood the day it came out and saw at the One Theater was showing in LA. Was all of his first off drama stuff? like he's so fucking funny that it's urprisis was his first big thing. So Yeah, and that was more like, but he was not Yeahah he was friend. He was a he's not being that funny. he's being like charming and Yeah, right. I guess he's not the best friend. He's the you know. Right. But in Cluis, I think we can all agree there's a certain level of ly and craftsmanship. Certainly. Yeah. I knew it wasn't going gonna to be worth it, No They did. You're doing one with owls called Gahouulas. That was a goahulin too There's so many more things that need to hit the glossary now. Oh, I know. This might be where he's like, I'm out on the glossary. he's like these these do not deserve to be re. I' enjoying it too much. Go and craftsmanship. When something is made with an attention to detail J just you know what? Do yourself a favor. G hoogle the helmet that I looked at. How many moments were I'm like, what is this podcast? No one knows. No one knows it. No one cares, you know? No one cares. That's what's so cool about it. It's just free. It's just free. Oh my God, we just do what we want. All right, lineQids. All right, so we got that heart out just bearing down on. Yeah't wait why I can't wait. Well, a little more preamble, It was very exciting when we asked Wig if she had a dolly pardon because we were like, oh, you know who we should ask is Wig 'Ccause we were like, how are we gonna do the song the whole thing. And then she was like, I don't think so. And we were like, well just try. And then she did it. And we were like,, of course it's like really good Have we even mentioned that Paul McCartney is the musical guest and will appear in this short? Not yet. I know we've also talked about Paul Rudd's bar in his basement, but he has a awesome cQ card of promos I'm Paul Rud I'm hosting this week with Pa MCartney, which is yeah. H that up in his wall, but not the painting from everyone's a critic. Everyone was pretty geeked about Paul McCartney all week. Yeah. I mean, I don't w want to get ahead of ourselves, but he came on, it was already so crazy and then like halfway through the week, it became clear he was going to do a day in the life which he had never performed before, and it was like the anniversary of John Lennon's passing So it was this huge deal and I think probably a lot of people are on the same page as me that that's one of if not their favorite beatles songs. So it was so crazy to get to see that. He did that at the end of the episode. And didn't he do Jet and bandn on the Run as well? I think so. Yeah. It it was crazy. What a great show. So you're saying he did Jet band on the Run Dan toife and stumblin That's actually a fucking trifector right there. Technically. Yes. He did a tiny a tiny harmonica solo, which we'll see was He was really into his tiny harmonica at this time. I believe there's lots of It's so cartoonishly little. You would watch the short thinking it's our bit that we made him do, but it was his bit that he was doing everywhere I know we've established the way that John Solomon talks. I do remember him. I was like, oh my God, McCartney ist. He's like, Yeahah,'s to play tiny harmonica. I'm like o Oh my god, that's funny.'s like, it's ' I definitely thought it was like a bit that you got that put Well you guys made it into one. You'll see. Yeah So Andy Yes. Kiva c. I got called in I directed the Paul McCarney segments. Oh ye because Lauren't have somebody like this. So John Solomon is a great director in his own right, but had not directed very much at all at the show and was kind of just graduating into taking over directing on certain things. Yeah. And so with Andy, there is taller than you. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. and much more manly. But the problem was he was so tall, it made Harmonica look even smaller. He is a nice looking guy. I'm not saying you're not. No, he's a very handsome taller than classic man. Yeah. J Dad is talk about him as J dad. And you think Luren didn't want McCartney to spend time with people more handsome than Lauren. That was the main thing. Yeah. Get him out of. He's like Paul Rud's fine. You think Akiva's not more handsome than Lauren? I think Lauren might not think that. I think that. Oh Young Lauren in his dock calls out that he's a cutie. So anyways, Lauren did call me and was like, I know you're at home this week, but can you actually come in and do the segment with Paul McCarney with the guys? And you're like, Oh maybe who that? Yeah. Did he do that classic Lauren thing too where he was like, comeome on, please I keep come on. There's a whole segment in the Lauren dock that's now on Peacock where everyone's doing their ln impression and everyone's just like Come on do the short I one. And then it goes to like Dana and he does his come on. And then it goes to work ky and he's oorn y, come on, I got a fucking paper cut. No' seeing. I don't have any money. I'm gonna get shut down by the stid.body wash the fish tank. Oh my Godd. this popcorn's chewy Everyone's gott to lan. in too long or not in long enough. I don't know which one but it's chewy.

This is muppetastic. Yeah, we're already almost a minute in and I can already be like, it's fine. I have a smile on my face. It's never gonna take itself to another level. It's just a sort of mood piece It's a little pleased with itself, but it's also kind of fun. Yeah. Well by the way, fucking shout out Wig again because holy I should thought it was her for a second. If you hadn't said it I would not have known. Isn't it crazy? It's crazy. It's so good It's so good. Also, you do I feel like somebody who wants to be stumbling at all times. I feel like it is your natural g There's a moment where you guys stumble and make a turn where it actually feels like it's physically difficult for you to stumble and hit that corner of the sidewalk and go in other direction. Well, we were giggling about doing that because it was so stupid. G Gy put on his first lipstick, stumble passass a girl with a big bow of fish quick stumble passast three different kinds of bears Stumble p yellower stumble psy yellow, fader stumble puss a yellow,er stumble Michael Brian stumble down the. Okay st. So three types of bears, I stand back. Good jo? Yeah, ye ittle tidbit and I'm sure Rud will remember this. First take he did of the whole shoot since we were already in the building was stumble past the elevator. First take, first stumble past the elevator, he sliced his hand open on the like metal siding of the elevator door frame. And he was like like, all right had action. And he's like, L sim. Oh fuck Just like Pouring blood down his arm. No. I remember being and Solivan being And by the way, I didn't remember Solivan did it until ten minutes ago, but I do remember us looking at each other and being like, Oh, no and being like, do you want to bail? to Paul? And he was like, No, no, of course not ' of course he's not 'cause he's the best. But I felt so bad immediately so guil. The way he gets hurt Though, Did you think it was a joke for a second? 'causeuse he plays that really know because there was just so much blood. I got You can't improv past the blood. Yeah.rightum down the nasty flot of stairs. Stight just for this. Mbe if it was just for this I hadd forgotten that that's what we did and it's a different song. Yeah. That's another reason this is not on the repeats. Yes.. But God fucking. Is Berlinn the name of the group that sings that? I believe so, yeah. It's the topop song. He's saying what? Walking in slow motion. Walking in slow motion? Gotcha. That's why they're walking This is the first line of Take My Breath awayway. Yeah, which is the song in Top Gun where they're silhouette you can see their tongues. Yeah. They don't walk though famously in that in that So it was nice to actually put, you know the lyrics. It's really funny and cool that he did that. and it's really great that it then goes to Tiny Harmonica This is again a ho. This is a shot of adrenaline right as you need this But also it's not walking in slow motion. It's not Wing every motion. Oh, is it what? Yeah, but that's fine. Did you think it was walking a sl motion? A Kiva. Yes. Yeah,'s a lot of misfires. That's how little Due diligence was going down here.idn't even bother listening to the song once. You have to remember, this is twenty ten. You couldn't g hoogle stuff. You couldn't just g hoogle Willy, mill. Yeah, you could. There's also a whole research department at SNL would have pulled it up for you. Yeah, then you got to send them out. I didn't have time for that. You guys had left, you know? This is what fucking art is, dude Yeah. It's how art becomes art U Anyway, that made me laugh seeing that again. I'm want to watch him again. He's in like a kind of a pirate shirt.. Also enjoying me and Paul both Paul Red both doing the smile without the eyes face while walking into slow emotion. silky. Yeah p. It's also just nice hearing Paul McCarney sing. He sounds like Paul. He's good yeah, he's good. Yeah, he's all right. Yeah.ow That might just be his wardrobe. Oh no, you're wearing it too. Yeah. . Wait, when you said that might just be his wardrobe, I thought you meant like he just brought that set Well I maybe his is his clothes. second It looks kind of cool. So I thought, oh, maybe that's like what the vibe of him at this moment in twenty ten was. I don't know. Oh, you did mean that. Okay, great. Yeah. No, I did. it's possible that that's what he was wearing for the show. But then it matches what we're wearing is the ye. then I was like, man intntentality. Yeah, here we go Do you think he was like, you turned my tiny harmonica into a joke, you motherfuckers, It was serious. No, I think he was just psyched to be doing it. Yeah, he was. It was delightful. Okay, reallyally look at red on this one. I mean, look how happy he is to do it. Oh God his ass is just it's such a bummer and then presents the tiny harmonica at the end. It's really something. He knows it's funny. Yeah,'s. He was happy that it was getting its moment With a hful ag that's a sponge of m andna painter andna w back b Sheckers away the daners. H. H adventure L I do wish that Wig had come in for that last note. great call W would have been good. Also we had a different shot plan for every single one of those last setups and we just did not have the time. Right. So you put them all them all. So it ended up being like, we'll just do them all in a onener. and that's why there's little moments of idling that I don't love. Yeah. A hobo acting regal. That's what that line is M. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just like normal shit. Yeah. Yeah, just like top notch stuff. It is funny like when You realize like it doesn't really matter what you're shooting, like the stakes are the highest. And so like when you look back and you're like Oh my Godd, like Rud gashed his hand Keeve had to be called back into the building, even though his wife wasow to give birth, and it's like, what for?

My main takeaway is the moment it cuts to McCartney sing and walking into slow motions great. Yeah. ye. that's my main thing. Let's see what John Solomon has to say Quick memories of Stumblin are that it was a twenty four hour shoot I remember seeing crew members curled up in balls at the top of this stairwell where we were finished shooting no Saturday morning, including Jodie from the Hir department who we all love, who was somehow stillill in good spirits, but it was a marathon shoot, deffinitely the craziest shoot that I have participated in at SNL. Paul Rudd gashed his hand open running in or out of the elevator on the eighth floor. He kept doing takes and trying to hide it kind of. and then at some point, I think I said to him, what's going on with your hand? and he kind of mumbled that he nicked it and then showed it to me and there was blood gushing out of it. and it needed to be bandag, but he just wanted to He didn't want to trouble anyone with it, which was, you know, testament to his love of SNL professional. And then the other thing was Lauren said, Ohh, you're going to be filming with Paul McCartney. Can you go say hello to him when he gets here and introduce yourself? And I had never met Paul McCartney obviously And I remember walking down to the dressing room. on the eighth floor where the musical guests are usually and seeing his vegan food kind of laid out in the hallway and then poking my head into the dressing room. He had his back to me and he turned around and he extended his hand and he said Cashew And we had a little tub of casashhews and I said I'll take a casiw. eight cashews with him and he was Very nice and super fun on the shoot and It was crazy That was a good note. Thanks, John. Thank Thank you, John. The main thing he reminded me of was yes, and it speaks to exactly what you were just saying, Seth, about the stakes feeling so high. We shot for like twenty four hours straight to get it done. I'm just spinning out because when McCartney said casew to me, I said Gazantepe. I knew it was saye The only surprising thing is that Solomon didn't say it already in his voice. Yeah it's it's getting worse It would have been so great to be like, no, I'm allergic. Like there's so many different things you can be a bummer to. All I do you have any ham U Very fun. Do you think though that like then Solomon got back? too Lauren's office, he's like, McCartney doesn't care for you. I have to call a Kiva. Well we just had cashews. He probably thought he was too handsome. He wass like, I don't trust this guy. Did you take a fucking cashew You're supposed to say no. Oh, they're fucking his cashews. That's his fucking test. You know how much that fucking cashews got. Akeiva never would have taken the cashew. Perfect Lawce again. I could hundred dollar cashew you d pieies of sh. But you raised in a fucking bn. Oh, I suppose you were going to handsome school when you were supposed to be learning about cashews. Cashews. everybody He One of the beatles is giving out cashews. All right, Caiva. All right, let's hear from Rud. I'm very excited and hopeful that we're gonna hear the Rud take on his gashed hand. Yes.. Or is he such a pro that he's just gonna not even tell us I rememember shooting this so clearly because it was the most surreal thing. And what was surreal about it was it just kept getting more and more odd and incredible Obviously filming this with Paul McCartney as we're dancing around him in satin shirts and clapping But we had to That whole section took a while and I just remember Um, Paul telling us all these great stories about John and the Beatles and filming Hard Dayss Night. and it was It was absolutely amazing. And then not that later in the day going into listen to him record Berlin in a sound booth Keve, I remember you were sitting behind a like kind of a mixing board and giving him direction and how to sing a Berlin song. And while he was doing it You look back at me and we both kind of wordlessly acknowledged how Ficaking bonkers that was and yeah, it was it was an amazing amazing experience And that didn't happen in a parallel universe. That actually happened in real life. Oh my gosh. Did't your fer. What a prot measure the finger. He's just like that's not what it was about. He just remembers the positive. Yeah, he really. I mean again, you're like, how does Paul Rud stay so young? becausecause he fucking only remembers the positive. That's right. Let that be a lesson to you, Quaides. That guy's not holding any negative energy. I do remember right when I met McCartney that he was just like,, don't be afraid, like I want direction. I want you to tell me exactly what to do. I think he walks into rooms and people are on eggshells with him because he's who he is And he was like basically tried to tell me, donon't be on eggshells, just boss me around, like treat me like all these guys, not because I had done something else, but he had just learned to be like, Dude becauseuse I'll be flailing out there and I'll look worse. like tellell me when I'm doing it wrong Just give me tons of direction. shout it out And so I think that's the reason I was like able to just immediately be telling him something about Berlin. I have no clue what it would be. Right. If you're allergic cashews fucking tell me, like don't go to the. Exactly. Exactly. He said that to you and then Solomon was like, and maybe try and he was like, No. you You just cashew. You're a failure. joke on a n He was doing those small shows in New York, McCartney. Before the fiftieth. Do know what I'm talking about, but like a five hundred seat venue. Comedy seller here going first eteta. He's working on his Kevin Hart roast material But I was asking I asked him about it and he was just talking about how much he loves being somewhere small, like how hard it is and just how the banter is super fun. And like when a string breaks on your guitar, it's super fun ' it's like everybody there is like, Oh my God,re hey, we're watching him like replace his strreing. You know what I mean? It's not It's not a failure. it's just like an incredible person to. It turns into a hangout as opposed to like that you're just having to put on a show. Yeah. I like him using it as a transition to talk about like o I love small ac and then slowly bringing the harmonica. The smaller the venue, the bigger this harmonica. You know how small thingsames are Like a little hot wheel, this is my call. like wait a minute. First time I ever spoke to him, I said hi to him and he said, Are there any good skits this week And I was just like those sketches. Larn prefers good. Luren prefers good. Take the cashew out of your mouth. idiot. It's called the sketch. Ohiv. You could also call them a scene. Take the cashews out of your ears. O a piece, right? A piece. Oh that's a good piece. That's a good scene. Yeah, pieces really Thats that's the good stuff. So Stumblin was a piece Yeah Stumling maybe, I don't know if we have a bucket for where a stumbling goes. I enjoy it fine. It's a nice little thing. I don't think it's Criterion, I don't think it's Kim's video. No. No. But the McCartney moment when it goes from one to the other and he starts singing is, I'll say this, if you were making like a montage of all moments that were cool from them, Yeah, I would definitely nominate the McCartney moment. Yeah. Yeah, walking in slow motion and you guys walking in slow motion is right up thereves in the land. And I also want to say in a real because I do think a good message is how hard this shit is Because you have Paul McCartney genuinely great moment. You have Wig doing an insanely great Dolly Parton. You and Rud are great the whole time And just something just doesn't quite click together. it's nice and short. Yeah,sice and short. It's fun. It's a fun one. Here's what it's lacking, hard laughs. Yeah. but sometimes you gotta just make something 'cause it's, you know, you don't go on 'cause you're ready Wait, do it in your ln voice. Well you don't go on because you're ready. go on because it' We just feel like I'm there Guys, just do it. it's eleven thirty already. Is this looking jippy b Yes! This popcorn cheasteel like Daffy. So chewy So hey, look at that. this was felt like a real episode. We didn't talk about any of the red stuff, but you got a heart out, right? Andy? Well, let's take five minutes to talk about the rest of the show. and obviously I gott to hit up my man Jack Black. Oh, well, let's just do that part because I don't want to rush through stuff. Yeah, there's some good first shorts in this. I'm looking at the rundown stuff we. So let's put a pin in that because you know Just had sex is our next short. We got to put a little air in this thing. Andy. How did you do on a spepelling bee today Hit a Jack black Sven B. . Seth, I intentionally didn't text you because I wanted this moment to have tension.. And the answer is, I quiby clean Pangrram first. Oh And I also confirmed with you via WhatsApp that you had to use hits. That's what makes it so much sweeter you guys. Is the panagram? What is the panagram? The panagram? uses all the letters. Oh yeah, we talked about this a while ago now. I know because I got solid today I was by the way, no drama for me, Andy. When I finished with Hints, I would have bet the house that it was gonna to be a clean bee for you. That's right. It was only a twenty word day, so I was feeling real confident. But not then no crazy deep cuts or anything. What I did quit be clean at least two or three times this week So I had a good week. Thanks for asking everybody. That's great, Andy. Congrats. One more I want to give one more shout out to my brother in laws documentary Rafa. four episodes on Netflix. I went to a screening in New York City this week that Rafa was at And Andy Rodic interviewed Rafa and Zach Heinzling, the director And Andy Rodic has a tennis podcast right now and is really good. He's just a really good interviewer. He's really funny And as a former SML host, I'm just glad to see that man thriving. Oh wait, there's one thing I did want to mention is that the truck, the van, the K truck, has made his way to New York. and I did get to drive it around with my man, Andy. I rode in it, y'all, and it did not disappoint It's even stupider in person. It can't disappoint because it is it's like built to disappoint. I feel like Andy we should put in because we drove around Manhattan and we hit one of the cobbestone streets and it does not have good shocks. Yeah. And there's a very funny video. There's a nice. We went to dinner with our friends Josh and Paul which was a delightful time we went to Via Corota. shout out Via Corota Thank for making great food. Sout out of the bay Paid full price so I don't know why I'm they didn't bring us anything forree or anything. and I just it was excellent. It's highly rated for a reason. Yeah. Kind of frankly thought maybe we'd get like one dessert gris, but no, that's fine. We get it. You guys are ballers. New York City baby. And then after dinner, we all hopped into Yororm's deeath van. Thank you ride fucking Dinksville That when they saw you what your ride was, Andy, they were like, o, we should have given him a dessert. 'causeuse he going die. Hey,aking speaking of what I found out, Andy after the fact was that apparently my insurance hadn't gone through yet. It's cool now.ice Nice moves. But this is what I'll say, Seth An Akiva, you're here barely. Are you? sayay something? Barely. Okay, so he's here Yorm has a nice little Bluetooth speaker in the van because there's no like real usable sound system. It's like casset player. cet nineteen ninety six. And so we were rolling around the West Village on a Saturday night, like you can barely move gridlock traffic in this wrapped Japanese van with dragons all over it Basting dance hall And every single block we went down, people were like laughing and pointing and smiling. And I was like, this is bringing so much happiness right now. It was like Like when we walked up to it to get into it, people were walking by going like, o shit. everyone was so delighted by it. I was like, okay, I get it. this is like yourorm in a car. It ises. It's like a little cloud conceived and delightful and vies all the rules. It's not safe, but it's just great. Would you say it's like the tiny harmonica of cars I would definitely say it's the tit. Al also made me so happy because Andy, I don't know how you worded it, but you were like, it's so great that we're such good friends, but that we're the opposite. We make the opposite choice in every single moment in life. Yeah And and we're like very dear friends. And we are. It's a beautiful Like if a witch turned Yorm into a car, this would be exactly. Oh was object to a movie premise Only if that happens I wouldn't want to be turned back.. And the whole movie his friends being like, We're gonna get you back. And you're like, No, no, I'm good I'm good Me, me. me me. I was gonna do the same joke,. same joke, mee, me joke. first day that I was driving it in Brooklyn, these cops pull up next to me.
