Hey guys, before we kick off this episode, we're going back to talk about some older stuff. There's some fan-made videos, so if you head over to YouTube, uh that's the best possible way to watch stuff. Enjoy. It's the Lowly Islands at Myers Podcast . Hey everybody, welcome to the um Lonely Island uh podcast. Uh once again once again without Andy, who is going to, I'm sure, send us in a couple voice notes based on what we talk about today. Um there was something there's a few things I want to start with. First of all, I'm so embarrassed. I made two sports errors in the last episode and I'm the one who knows about sports. What were they? Supposedly. Supposedly. I I mean I caught them both, by the way. So I shamed you guys for holding up a jersey in football town. People do hold up jerseys at the NFL draft when they go to the city. I was actually shocked that you said that 'cause I I did think I had seen that before. I did bite my tongue going, well, he's the sports guy. Yeah. So why did you think that? I don't know what happened there. That was just short circuiting. The other mistake I made was I mentioned Phillip Rivers and said he was the San Diego Chargers quarterback on the fridge in great day, it was Ryan Leif, which we even talked about during that. Yeah. When you said the name, I did go, that sounds like a different name, but I didn't know the name. So I couldn't. But I like that the problem in both cases was you guys are so I don't know, trepidatious about your sports knowledge that you just stood back and you were like, You take this one, Seth. Because I didn't immediately have proof otherwise. I just was like, you know, let you hang yourself with your own rope kind of thing. Also also Seth, I always picture you as the kind of a jockey of the group that That like comes by and dumps slurpees on our heads with uh you know a varsity jacket on. It is really it does speak volumes about uh you guys that I'm the jock of the group. At one point Rashida Jones was talking about and she said uh makes the lonely island look like jocks. And I was like, oh interesting. I think you should do everything about that story but the name. Okay. Just beep on the name. Yeah. Um I'm just gonna go through some comments real quick before we get to the episode at hand. Wait, Seth, does everyone just write in is it the same as your show where everyone just like, oh the mistake. There's a mistake. I think because I have opened that up about me. Yeah. Yeah, they feel like we can be correction. You think there's a fair amount of jackal crossover? Yeah, I think there's some jackover uh crossover with the podcast. Jack over. this was very exciting I think there's some Jack Over. Jack Over. Oh yeah, there's some Jack Over. Um there was a user named uh Aaron Cosmic who wrote absolutely insane to see my old MS Paint Windows movie maker. So she was the uh she made the art that we were watching during the So when we talk about crossover the pod, I like that somebody who made that animation to one of your old songs pre-SNL is listening to the pod. So a shout out. Yeah. I wonder if she was listening or if someone tipped her off, but I'm curious. Well, interesting. Let us know. Let us know in the comments. Are you actually Quaid Army or uh did you get tipped off? But also 20 years ago, however young she was when she made that, she probably was like dreaming that we would see it. I don't want to pat ourselves on the back. But I don't I don't I don't think she sounds like she cares that much now. Right. Like twenty years ago, she was probably quite young. Yeah. And was like, Whoa, I'm gonna make this. Well, I wonder if they'll see it and it just took a long time. You just have to stick around. Yeah. Now, is that a rewarding thing when your dream comes true twenty years later or is it just embarrass like you know, we outgrow our dreams. Like you know what I mean. That's right. That's right. No way. I love that thing. I think she's very proud. She's so into it. She probably cried when she heard we were watching it. She's probably crying now. Oh I mean this is like just continuing a week of sobbing with gratitude. Yeah, we love you. We love you very much. Uh new uh new portmanteau for the uh pod quump. Uh a quump is uh the quaid bump when a YouTube video gets more viewers after we mention it. So football town got the quamp. Oh, of course it did. Yeah. Oh. That must be so nice for football town. We're definitely using that. The quump. The quamp. Great bump. Great. A lot of comments. I'm sorry he's not here here. A lot of comments about how uh handsome Andy was in uh in old football town. I remember at the time even just being like, Oh, some of these shots cause like like us slowly realizing like, oh, if you put on clothes to try to look attractive and you make attractive looking faces and you have wind in your hair and you kind of shoot it knowing like you're supposed to be the hunky star. That's somewhere it does make you that. Yeah. It happened on Connor for Real a bit too, where it's like, now you're gonna dress like a guy who thinks that he's attractive and then everyone's like, Andy's some really attractive in this and you're like, Right. You gotta be really attractive to pull it off when when you're doing it ironically. You're trying to be comedy handsome. People are like, hold up. Yeah. Wait, I don't like that. Wait, I can't get over Andy's neck in football town. He has such a like a thick neck . It's important for tackling. No, I mean again for our listeners, truly Andy is the jock of us. Uh Andy's the one who actually played sports at a level that lapped all of us collectively. I played uh I played soccer with him. He was playing on Sundays with a bunch of guys and gals, and uh right before this was uh when Mari was shooting her movie out in LA and I went one Sunday because I was very excited. And then I was doing the calculation right after he was like, by the way, everyone's ex college players or semi-pro. And I was like, Oh, okay, cool. And then I was doing the calculation and was like, the last time I played soccer was 35 years ago. And then played 10 minutes, was like slide tackling people on because I was so excited on Astroturf, which you shouldn't do. And then ten minutes in, I was like, there goes my hamstring. And then I was in PT for the rest of the summer. So there you go. Yeah. So you ran through every red flag and it ended where Couldn't hang with the semi pros. Somebody asked when season two of Digman was gonna be released on Paramount Plus. I don't know the answer to that. I do know season two has aired on Comedy Central. But I will say there was very exciting news, which is it's gonna be on Netflix. Yeah, it's honestly uh speaking for Andy, the dream scenario, because when they, you know, they go out and pitch the show, they're very excited and grateful to Comedy Central for saying yes, but with the knowledge that Comedy Central barely exists. Yeah. So it was kind of like, well, we're gonna make this show and people are not gonna see it. And sure enough, they made a really funny show, but people don't really see it. Yeah. And the dream kind of is like, but then once we get a little library, does Netflix buy it? We come It's like a hundred it's like a hundred and seventy five million maybe? You were gonna Dr. Evil in? I mean I was right. Yeah. You were right. Hey guys, Andy here. I'm just gonna jump in real quick. Um our original thought there, Keefe, with Comedy Central, was not that no one would see it. It's just in the past few years things have changed so much. What with Paramount business changing, streaming changing, we're not even sure what's happening with Comedy Central. But yeah, it is very exciting that Digman is moving over to Netflix the first two seasons. Can't wait for people to check that out. If you haven't seen it, now it's easier than ever. If you didn't Paramount Plus or Comedy Central, as he was kind of alluding to. It's a show we're real proud of. Me and my buddy Neil Campbell and a whole bunch of really talented, funny people worked real hard on it. Please check that out. It's one of the things I'm the most proud of in my whole life. Also, Yorm, none of the people playing in that game were semi-pro. Like, not even close. It was like Nick Kroll and Rory Scovel and stuff. Mitra Jahari. These are just comedians. None of them are semi-pro. I'm not even sure if any of them played college. So I think it was more just that you were in horrible shape. I'm gonna chime in more later. Thanks, guys. Hey guys, this is Akiva interrupting from the exercise bike. Netflix has three hundred and twenty five million paid subscribers globally. Thank you. Oh, and also Digman Premieres on Netflix, March seventeenth. Put it in your eye cal or your practical calendar with a pen and or pencil. Gots to get that quamp. Got we like them clicks and we like them quamps. Yorms thanks for saying such nice things about my neck. I'm I'm assuming that you meant it in a nice way. It sounded like you meant it in a nice way, like you were maybe like slightly horny for me, which has always been my dream. And I think everyone out there knows that. Okay . Also, just you know, I'll do it because he's not here. It's so funny. If you're Quaid Army, you're definitely gonna be Digman Army. So uh it's it's wild. I think it'll be the thing where the old seasons go up and then a new season gets made for Netflix. This is just a request. Somebody wanted it clean so they could use it as a ringtone. Yorm, will you give us a platinum in New Zealand? Yeah. Platinum in New Zealand. Okay. Thank you, Yorm. People can just use that like Maybach music now. Yeah. We talked about House of Cosby, um, which is on YouTube and could really use a quump because it's very funny. And I went back and watched it because did we talk about you guys being voices in House of Cosby? Uh maybe we didn't. I think I forgot that we even did it. Yeah. You play three Cosby's. Your superhero Cosby is called the Triosby. And the reason I bring it up is, somebody pointed it out. I'm like that, can't possibly be true. So your Cosby Yorm is like a superhero Cosby. Oh god, I don't remember this at all. I know you're surprised. Well, I'm sure we were there for five minutes and Justin was just like, say this, say this, say this. Yeah. Well, you would go over to his house and just record it in his like kitchen. So yeah. Um not credited. I feel like I've strongly confident that Chester is a voice in it as well. I'm sure he was not in the credits. But you're you get crushed by a dinosaur. Okay. All your bones get crushed. In the next episode, you're literally in bed exactly the way you were for your research. Oh. So maybe it's if we dig back into this old stuff from twenty years ago, we're gonna find everything. We found the winter soldiering Somebody was like, and also you you in bed have a revelation that you're gonna go into comedy now that you're can no longer be a superhero. I wonder I wonder if uh Justin was into voodoo stuff and uh was being like, you know. Um House of Cosby both uh very funny and very haunting to watch through the lens of the changing American viewpoint on Bill Cosby. Why what happened? Oh no, I forget you're behind on stuff. No, he's just on the other side. You haven't read the news since Netflix had one million subscribers. No, no, no. Well I was uh I was in the hospital so um oh somebody wrote the channel one on one show was called Acceptable TV on VH1. Oh I totally remember that as soon as you say it. And VH one, yes. Uh and then just the names of Yacht. So was Yacht Rock a group? No, it was the name of a series. Okay, gotcha. Yeah, it was like the it was the equivalent of the boob. I s but it was Yacht Rock. And it was like a fake VH one behind the music. And so they would dress up and it would be these stories that they were just completely inventing where it's like the day Michael McDonald wrote uh, you know, sailing or whatever, and then this other Chris Christofferson would stop by and be like, Hey brother, what are you working on? You know, and like I see us and they would dr they would just dress up as well I do I'm gonna I'm gonna shout out uh the makers of Yacht Rock because their names were said in JD Risnar Hunter Stare, David Lyons, and Steve Huey. Oh yeah. Big ups. I'm sure those are all on YouTube too. They're really fun. We actually when we had a little bit of a budget in our production company to make short presentations to try to become real TV pilots. And ultimately the show um Pen 15 came out of that. Like first it was a 10 minute pilot presentation from that money that became Pen 15. Uh we did one with JD Risnar trying to kind of take the format of Yacht Rock and turn it into a comedy central drunk history style show. How many did we do? Because we did one with Emily Heller too, right? Oh, we did we did like probably 20 or 30 of those pilot presentations over the years when we were doing it. Yeah, tons of them. There was a show called Alone Together that went on freeform for a couple seasons that came from one of those pilot presentations. And there was Andrea Savage's show called I'm Sorry that was on I forget was a true TV or something, but it was a good comedy show that was written and directed by Andrew Savage, and that went a couple seasons as well. We had like a slush fund for a while. It was pretty awesome. Yeah. Then it went away. But but real shows worked and got on TV. But point being, we did one with Riznar that did not, but we shot up at that very famous house from the Big Lebowski that you see in things all the time. Right. And it was Jack Black as Giorgio Marauder and Maya Rudolph as Donna Summer. That was really funny. And they were doing the I need love, I need love, I need love. It was like the the story behind the music of how that song came to be. And Randall Park was a robot that Giorgio Moro had. I was like, Randall was in it, but I was like, what was his role? Giorgio Moroto's robot. And and then Ryan Phillippy came in as Bowie. That's right. That's right. Like we got an all-star cast for the most fuck around thing, and it was just this stupid, you know, fake behind the scenes documentary uh thing about them making the making of one of the best things about this industry is calling your friends cold and the offering them like the most ridiculous roles or like being like, Hey, do you have this prop thing? In LA for one day that is just nonsense and no one's ever gonna see? Sure. Yeah. Everyone showed up. Those are the fun things to show up for. Uh I know it's Diana Ross and not Donna Summer. Have you seen Fred's bit where he's the drummer playing I'm Comin' Out for the first time? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really funny. Just hitting those those random drums and then just learning the song in real time. Yeah. It's really amazing to watch Fred do a drummer comedy in front of the roots. Yeah. I mean I think like for you know Questlove who obviously has a great sense of humor, he must be like this dude is like everything I've ever wanted. Combining all my interests. Yeah. I think Fred is the most specific person I know. I mean I stand up for drummers. Like shout out to the Netflix special stand-up for drummers. We're Freddie. Work for everyone. But it is really funny. Do you remember that joke? Like a it was an early stand-up of um Steve Martin and he does this joke. He's he's like, Oh, a lot of plumbers in the audience too. And then he tells the plumber joke, and then he's like, Oh, you know what? That must have been a different night because nobody got that joke. I referenced the movie Dave this week in a closer look. And uh it was so quite and I had written it in and it was just like the absence of a reaction. Oh, I saw it, Seth. That was really funny. Since I'm a major Dave of the movie Head, do you think I've led you to believe that movie's more popular because I reference it because I like Dave so much? I mean I love the movie Dave. We were actually saying Dave would be a good movie to show the kids 'cause I think it's probably just a a fun idea about and also like a good message. Agreed. What's Dave about? What what is it? It's Ivan Reitman directed it. It's Kevin Klein and Sigourney Weaver starring and it's that there's like a Republican president played by Kevin Klein who is everything you would think of in terms of like corrupt and just playing politics and does not care about people. And he basically uh gets in an accident and is in a coma. Doesn't he have a heart attack? Like having maybe having like fingers. It's having an affair. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Something like this where he is now incapacitated, but then the chief of staff and vice president get together and go, what if we don't tell the public? 'Cause we don't want you know and then finally we can run And then Kevin Klein plays a presidential impersonator who looks like him. Yeah, that does like birthday parties. Oh so they go and find him and he's obviously amazing at it. 'Cause it's Kevin Klein again. But he shows up as just kind of a riding my bicycle around town uh impersonator fun guy and kind of like starts to learn like wait, everyone thinks I'm the president, like why don't I try to fix some stuff? And starts actually like trying to balance the budget and try to fix things and and like Segourney Weaver figures it out 'cause yeah, she's the wife that he hasn't shown interest in in you know years but now he's a good husband yeah so it's a little bit of a rom-com as well. Wait is it is he left wing then or no like what is it I don't like it. I don't I don't want to see this movie then. I don't think you'll like the politics of the political spectrum Oh yeah, Yorm you won't like No, I'm very right wing and I don't like that Lib Tard. That sounds like Lib Tard bullshit. Yeah, it's propaganda. It is funny, Keefe, how you were like, you know, and obviously it he's great at it because he's also played by Kevin Klein. It would be funny if the originally the producers were like, well, the problem with the movies we gotta find somebody who looks just like Kevin Klein to play the other part. I think you want to wait for your kids to be a little bit older. Not because it's inappropriate, but I think to really enjoy it. Yeah. I think that they'll watch it and think they enjoy it, but if they're a little older, they might really enjoy it. Yeah. Support comes from Artle Yorm. First, just a quick poll. Furniture. Yes or no? Yeah, I like furniture, yeah, absolutely. Great. Article offers a curated range of mid century modern, coastal and scandy inspired pieces. That's considered fine to say scandy. You can say instead of Scandinavian, I can just go scandy? No, absolutely not. Uh that uh yes, no, I was in Finland and everyone was just calling each other Scandies all the time. Is that true? Uh yep. Uh maybe. Anyways, the thoughtful design approach makes it incredibly easy to mix and match, helping you create a space that feels cohesive and stylish. Now we've talked about this before, but the truth is they did give us a little budget and give us some stuff. And I have a dresser in my bedroom, no lie, that is awesome and is so heavy, and that seems like a negative. It was hard to get it in there a little bit for me personally because it was just me, but it's heavy because it's made of real wood and not particle board like some other places, and it feels like a piece of furniture that I might have forever because of that. Yeah. And I have an armoire that has like a little mesh thing. It's like the detailing in it. The drawers work super well. It's incredibly well built. I'm not kidding here. Yeah, it's like the wood is great. Not to say that usually we're lying, but maybe usually maybe we're just doing ads. And honestly, the stuff I was shocked because it was good. Yeah, me and Keeve love it. Yeah. Yeah, the drawer does the thing where when you like go to shut it, it shuts automatically softly, whatever that's called. Yeah. Oh I love that. Yeah. It feels very, very uh substantial.

And uh he did it on Jimmy Kimmel this week with the actual Gavin Newsom. Oh, he had the moment. The SNL moment. He had the moment. He had the SNL moment. He came out to present an award to the actual Gavin Newsom. And Gavin Newsom did that really smart thing where Gavin Newsom started leaning into my brother's Gavin Newsom impression. Like he started doing started stealing bits from Josh. Which is like I almost alley ooped the uh the joke. Yeah. It's a very affable move. The bad move is like, I don't talk like that. The good move is you start like doing the actual gestures and play the heightened version of yourself. That's great. Yeah. Very fun. Um one last thing and then um what did what did we decide? The heist? Oh yeah. Let's let's listen to some old shit. Oh wait I have one last thing to say but um a last uh thing because you did uh an ad read for good chop Yorm. Oh, I did. Yeah, oh yeah. I got some good chop stuff for real. So somebody wrote pretty ironic that Yorm is doing an ad for Good Chop when he hasn't managed to schedule his Good Chop. Parentheses, vasectomy. Oh, that's really good. Uh Seth, like hopefully later on I'm gonna be on your show and I was hoping to actually schedule the vasectomy for that day so we could talk about it. Not on the show. You want me to get the vasectomy on the show? Well, no, I'm saying not on the show. I know I was when you said scheduled and on my show. Like it's a big you know, Jimmy does all those bits. I feel like maybe you could you could do a fun one. I mean I feel like it's probably uh it's local anesthetic. I mean if you were like covered with a sheet. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's fine. And then we just we just had your head poking out like um I don't know, magician assistant style. Yeah, totally. Sounds good. Um all right, the heist. All right. So last week we since we don't have Andy with us, we went into the deep cut stuff and we tried to do I mean football town's heavy Andy, but trying to do things that don't involve Andy. And we have another that's actually arguably the best song we ever did previous to SNL, I would say. Yeah. Yeah. Uh any of us. And and it is a me and Yorm special and it's what inspired we talked about a little on the Lazy Sunday episode. By the way, we're gonna send a copy of this to Andy and with no qualifier and it's just gonna end on you saying arguably the best song we ever did. Let him know.. I I think think you you would would ag agreeree. It's a great song. Let's see if he does, but let him know it. Yeah. And we did cannibalize it a bit for Lazy Sunday, where we were like, oh, kind of the tone, and you'll see there's a chamomile line that is snack attack verbatim basically. I I will say, like just before you play it, like I love the beat and I I made the beat for this, but I can't remember the samples that were used. There are live guitars at the end of it too, which uh my friend played, which is more detailed than most of our songs ever got. But if anybody out there can tell us the sample, that would be great. And no uh no video, correct? For the heist? No video, but for fun, I bet you there's a bunch online. Do you want me to play this off YouTube instead of this? I mean by others. Yeah, get a another person some shine. Let's see if there's something out there. Also, Artie Party was a real earworm for me this week. Yeah, I heard that you couldn't get it out of your good. Oh, and Andy Andy wrote in and said that he he woke up thinking of the remix of RD Party as well. I will say the Kid Icarus remix is the one that sticks in my head for whatever reason. Yeah, totally. I actually thought it was that one. By the way, uh the man who made that, my buddy from uh who I met at Guitar Center, his name Brian Dembski. Um and don't dox him. What is it? Yeah, yeah, dox him. All right. So I got one from 20 years ago with ninety-six thous vieandws. That's a live action one somebody made, you know, like shooting it with their friends. Yeah. But look who's back. Yeah.

Your pin's wearing a vest seat without taking chat Yo kid, we're both buck naked. Are you uncomfortable? Nah kid, we're two grown men and we're both extra sex. Word up, son. Hold on, yo, kid, you just hear something? God damn, it's fucking pamped, you mustn't let herself in. What up, man'? Hows it going? What an awkward situation. No, if you didn't know better, this might look incriminating. Yo, what wacky circumstances to lead all of this to happen? Y'all just like on fucking Seinfeld or curb enthusiasts. Those will buff all Larry Dave, no doubt, don't need that's true. Wave ham, so go if you leave right now we're through Yo, I'm sorry, son, damn, what a tragic way to end. The important thing now is that we're naked and we're friend s Make good friends. It it's fantastic. I was I was wrong, Keith. It is not mob deep as from a beat nut song called Do You Believe? That's what the it's ill how I'm heated when my heart's like hold. The beat nuts, yes. Uh shout out to Aaron again, who uh went by E-Ron back then. Yes, yes, crossed out. Uh very fun to watch uh naked stick figures. Uh I think my favorite detail about your breakup with Pam is that uh you guys were both about to cut back on caffeine together. Like that tells me more about the kind of couple you are, the kind of dude you are and how you really must be heartbroken. We also do this a a lot lot in of Molly Island songs where one person says something super lame and then the other person strongly agrees with it. Like I am also that way. You're like, I was gonna do that too. Um, going back, if you have an unlimited budget, yeah, and this is a song that's gonna be on an album, do you record Pam saying a line? If you could rewrite it, do you think you want to hear Pam? No. No, no, I think it's more these guys just telling you the story. Gotcha. I mean we had access to female voices as is proved by Artie Party with Artie You Look Good With That Dump in your drawers. I guess that's maybe because that was the last song uh we listened to it. I enjoyed that so much. I was kind of I I will admit I was a little hopeful. Oh to hear uh to hear a lady. Yeah. I think I would have taken the air out of it because there's so much tension between these two guys that I think it's what are other references? I feel like we're doing a little trying to do a little bit of like Wu-Tang style back and forth like ghost facey stuff. I feel like there was a little bit of warning by Biggie, but there's other things being wrapped up in that that were I mean overall obviously we're just you know poking fun Aaron Powell I mean we're we're each giving like a hundred and ten percent on each line. Like we're just screaming. And then up to one twenty. When you start getting naked, Kiev's fully in a hundred and twenty five percent. Yeahah,. ye We're just screaming. We are just scream ing. What's up, chumbos? It's Andy. Chiming in again. Let's see. The sample yarm is yellow tightrope, the great electric light orchestra, one of our faves. I'm surprised you didn't remember that because years and years later, we loved the heist so much we even were like, should we just put it out like in an official way? Or like re-record it or clean it up and we were like, I don't think we can afford an ELO sample, even given some of the samples we did pay for. And that kind of squashed it at that point. So we never put it out in official capacity because of that was my recollection. Um but hit us in the titus. Tell us if you disagree with that account. Uh and then influences on the heist, I would say it's very much Wu-Tag in my opinion. And And interestingly, you guys are doing Ghost and Ray, because they would do the back and forth story songs the most, I would say. And I think that's probably what you had in mind. I mean, I can't put myself in your shoes, but that was my guess. But a distinction in my opinion, re-listening to it, Akiva's really doing RIZA. Like it's full throated yelling RIZA. Um almost like Gravedigger's RIZA, which did bleed into many early Wu-Tang recordings before he kinda smoothed it out. Although sometimes he would bring that back. Look, he's he's he contains multitudes. Anyhow, as to whether or not it was our best pre SNL song or pre album song, it's definitely one of the best. When I first heard it, I remember feeling incredibly geeked and inspired and happy and laughing so fucking hard. The only other one that I would maybe even put in the conversation with it is Stork Patrol, which is also 100% referencing Wu Tang, not surprisingly, because that was some of our favorite shit around that time, and still, obviously. Stork Patrol gets a little gross in spots in ways that I think we wouldn't do now, but the flows are kind of impeccable, and that is another one of my favorite early Yorn beats. It it goes, as Keeve likes to say. Um but yeah, gun to my head, I'd probably take the heist, and obviously the blueprint for Lazy Sunday and kind of everything we did from that point on, it it kind of cracked open what we could do with the form as dumb comedy guys and also sounds good and bro, and you guys put time into the rhyme. So yeah, I'll give it the crown and you know uh I'll be back. Support comes from Coop.

Alright, do we want to kick another one, Seth? Yeah, I feel like I feel like Kablamo. Can we Kablamo? Yeah, but then we should just watch the video to it, probably. Yeah, we should. So we had been making songs, obviously, like the ones you're hearing. I'm not sure what order they came in, but at a certain point we made one and went, Let's make a music video to it. And it was our first attempt at a music video ever, I would say. So this was this is shot in the original Lonely Island apartment and we made it pretty quickly after we moved to LA. Yeah. Like we moved here. We all were in that that we've talked about, you know, getting temp jobs and hanging out, and we borrowed a camera and we were like, what would it be like to make a video? I don't know why we didn't make one for the heist, because when we made the heist we were really proud and we knew and like just the amount of people doing fan videos, like we knew we had made something special, but maybe we thought we couldn't pull it off. I don't know why we never made one for that. It's weird because it seemed I mean again, who am I to speak to what your sense of yourselves were then, but it seems like easy enough to pull off. Well in hindsight, I would have given us the advice to make a music video to every one of these to party party 'cause why wouldn't we have it well it w it would have been it would have been nice to just see our young faces, you know, etched in time. And when we eventually do our noodles in the pot episode. Oh yeah. Yes. Yeah, exactly. This is what it's all building towards. I would say Kablamo is is our noodles in the pot for sure. Yeah. Well just just to talk about the beat of how this was made. So a record player was plugged into uh the br eight, which is a eight track digital recorder. Basically I would uh find a speed that I liked as the loop of it and then record and just try to keep recording until I got the exact loop, loop it on the BR8, and that would be one track. Then I would take drums, listen to it, match the speed of the drums to that sample. You know, like on techniques 1200, you could like uh go back and forth on plus and minus and then just get it to the right volume. So you'd pick break beats from a like a breakbeat album. So like that's how these were made. And then after you would get all of the samples for the song, get like the like the the timing right for everything in the BR eight, which is a ridiculous way to do it kind of. But then you would compress that all down, then that would be on one track and then we would do all of our lyrics with the remaining seven tracks if anyone's interested in that type of shit. Yeah. And and to your credit, Yorm, what you're also explaining is that we were using the wrong piece of equipment. Yeah. Like an like there was a keyboard, I'm forgetting what it was called, but I think it was made by Roland that my cousin used that was like a sampling keyboard. Like a synthesizer where it was made to make you could make beats on it. Or there was a thing called an MPC that was very popular that you see anytime you watch old producers working on that looks like a drum machine with a bunch of square pads. Yes, I did have an MPC at one point. Uh we had a little control the thing it keeps talking about is like a little controller and it would actually trigger digital sound effects in like later on when we were making we were making stuff in I I was making stuff in Cubase, I was making stuff in Reason and stuff. Those are computer programs. Yes, yeah, yeah. And they're these some of them still exist. Like Reason. This thing just an eight track recorder is not the way you should be making beats. It it does work if you're making like Nebraska. You know, you're just you're just making it by sound. Like there's no I mean, obviously it has a tempo, but like but that tempo is like you're just I'm just doing all of this by sound. You're doing it like a band would though. Like where you would lay down a guitar track and then lay down some drums. You were doing it like live musicians would. Yeah. Wait, wait, can I say one more thing about like just music in general, because this is sort of interesting, is that we would also usually just do a either two or four bar chorus and then you'd do a sixteen bars because that's just sort of a standard hip hop thing. So usually we would just sort of do that and then find our lyrics within that 16 bars. Wait, before we move on, do you guys were you at the table read where Fred I really think it was about like the fall of Qaddafi and Fred played Qaddafi at the table with a guitar and a sampler. And he just kept he made a song like he like they were like, hey, they're closing in. And he just like thoughtfully walked over and like it was just that Qaddafi was Like Reggie Watts would. He just did a full Reggie Watts while like his inner circle was like watching him wondering what he was doing. But the joy of it at the table was like it was amazing to watch Fred in real time like actually make the samples and make a song. Yeah. So like ours was like that. Except for over the course of many hours. Rather than like two minutes. And not not a joy in any way. I might have to ask uh ask Fred what the inspiration was behind that and if I'm remembering it correctly. Also topical. Yeah. Yeah. It is. Time is a flat circle. There's some reflections in modern times. Yeah. Fred could bring it back. Oh, he should bring that be recurring. If it was occurring, he Yeah. Now it's this guy. Lauren would have Lauren would order it up. Should we get Fred in to do a do another Gaddafi? Fall fall of a leader. Yeah, sad fall of a leader. Fall of a tyrant. Uh okay, yeah. So here is Kablamo. You know, you'll you'll really hear us just we're just like experimenting with our voices of like, well, what does it sound like when I record my voice? Should I try to be this guy or that's well that's very fun to realize these are uh the building blocks that you guys did not so you didn't even have your like the many different personas that we've heard yet these are all just like first time out all of these is us like like even when we were listening to Artie Party like Yorms trying to do Greg Nice from Nice and Smooth. Do you remember that Smooth guy duo, hip-hop duo, Seth? Yeah. I think you'd remember what was there. Is it nice and smooth? Hamma, Hemma. Nice and smooth. There's like two songs you'd recognize, even if you don't think you did, that you would know from there's one with Gangstar that you would definitely know from just going to nightclubs in the early two thousands in New York, where they would definitely have thrown it on. Um So that like that was what you were trying to do, right, Yorm? Yeah, big time. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm doing fifty cent on that one part that Andy pointed out where all of a sudden I'm just like talking to my tooth for no reason. It but it is funny. It is funny to say this of all the references we were making and then when you see it you're just like, oh the beastie boys. Exactly. That's what we look like. This this I don't know what we're doing. I think we are just trying to do Beastie Boys ish on this one. Okay, here you go. I'm gonna pause for one second. So when we were making pop star, we were like, oh, why don't we put in footage from this? And so there's there's a shot in it that's from Kablamo that I don't know if it's from the video or we found the high-eight, you know, whatever mini DV tapes this was shot on and re-digitized the original dailies of this and found like the moment we're standing on the roof. And I think that's in Popstar, because it was footage of us young looking like we're trying to be in a band. It's by the way, immediately could not be more beastie voice. Like the first shot is like a Paul's boutique shop. Yes. Then you're immediately I feel like that's the roof from uh uh the that sample. Well that that roof is at UCLA. You know, we uh this was not that long after I graduated and uh it's not in next to the theater department. There was an art building. I'm not even sure if it's there anymore, but you could go to the roof and you know, any place like this where we were like cool, that's a cool location uh we knew about like we drove over to UCLA got this shot and then this is some of this is in Popstar as a like a throwback to what our band of stub was. It's also wearing thrift store closed, but that is really what we wore to some degree. And Keith I did notice Yarm just said a thing that you had just explained. Oh, yeah, he I don't know where he was. He was out to lunch. It was I just didn't I didn't want you to start thinking you were crazy. Oh the root the roof the rooftop thing, you just said that. The reason I paused was talking about Popstar. You know what's funny? The whole reason we paused. You know what's funny is that I was thinking about something entirely else. I know you're surprised by that. But the sample, the sample for this, I had all these like old like Danny Kay and Spike Jones records, not Spike Jones, the filmmaker, but the original Spike Jones. And I think that that is one one of those two gentlemen. But I I had probably several hundred records that were uh around this time that doing the laughter, the lithium I was worried that when um you pause the video key view also pause your arm. Oh shit. It was that's a really that's how take that's how taken aback I was by You think it was a click kind of a click situation. Oh you clicked them. The reference to an Adam Sandler movie. Click them. They know click. All right, here we go. Do they? They don't know any Bob Seth's references. Listen. Listen ! You just won the lottery! That's complete You kiss it in Doherty, that's Kablamo. You joined a sorority, that's Kablamo. You lied about the lottery , not Kabamo. Who met Fred Siegel at a debutante ball? You gave him your number! He gave you a call. He told you to meet him at the corner at eight. You made him at nine. That's right. You stupid idiot. You don't know what you missed. Fred Siegel's a star! And you call this pipping ass, cooling ass, smack ass, building biggity I be on the wall, but not around the lettering. This friend's seagull, and everybody know s. Ha ha ha ha ha You're not the lamo. The dog fixed your artery That's cablama Your mouthwash is gargly That's cablama Your water is water y That's cablama I major to pottery Not cablema You're chillin' with your dudes and they stab you in the face. All the way to the hospital, you're bleeding all the way. Wait. How did we get this? How did we get this ambulance shot? I can't remember. That's Evan. Oh, right, because he was actually an EMT, right? He's an EMT. Yeah. Wait, you had a friend who was an EMT? Yeah. Our friend Michael Black's friend, Evan, had just become an EMT. And he was our friend too at the time. And he was like, that's fine. Like if I don't get a call, I'll just drive over. And so he was just waiting on a call and we just we just shot me. Yeah. It was great. Yeah. High quality. Uh so Fred Siegel, for those that don't live in LA, Fred Siegel was a very famous clothing store, but we had just moved there and we had no money. We had never been inside. And we were just it was just nonsense. It was just us like looking at it. I don't know why that even came about as the writing process. It's so crazy. It was a it was sort of iconic signage and it was like I think for everybody in showbiz, there was a little bit of aspirational like I didn't know what was in Fred Siegel, but I knew that like you needed money to go in there. Yes. When we finally went in I realized it wasn't um my style. Yes. At all. But it's just nonsense and it's just us being like that's a thing like again we're making it for ourselves on some level and we're just goofing it. I don't know what, I don't know how to explain it. But I do know that I still have friends that are like iggity ivy on the wall but not around the lettering for whatever reason. But I also think it's us like when you hear Beastie Boys or Wu-Tang or whatever and they're talking about New York things that we don't know, it never stopped us from enjoying it. Like we don't have White Castle on the West Coast, but I knew all about White Castle. Or I mean there's still things in Beastie Boys that I have to Google, but you just love those. And they would talk about random people that are just in their studio, like George DeCruleus and stuff, and you're just like, I guess that's a guy. Yeah. And so I think we were also just kind of doing a version of like it doesn't matter. Santana D V X was our brass monkey, which I believe is a real drink just that's really fucking hard to get. That it is like um you know malted wine or something. I can't remember what the fuck it is. But uh I I did want to say that our our lyrics feel painfully dry, which is something later that we would add reverb. We would always add reverb and it makes you sound much better. It blends you into the song. Yeah, because we had no clue. We're just yeah, we're just saying the words into a mic and it's recording. We didn't even know that like every song you've ever heard has a little bit of EQ making them brighter and a little bit of reverb minimum. Yes. Something we added later. And like if you go into a real recording studio, the engineer's putting that on your mic before you even are at the mic. So when you hear your voice through the mic, it's not it doesn't suck and embarrass you. Okay. Oh wait, wait, wait, I just want to say uh the some of the shots that are on the roof in this uh were actually in Popstar. Okay, keep going. Great. Yeah. You're welcome. I appreciate that I'm just holding a light here. Yeah. You're chillin' with your dudes and they stab you in the face. All the way to the hospital, you're bleeding all over the place. Your leg is amputated cause you got gangrene And then you get cancer and you die in your team But then this really pretty girl who you always really like Sows up to your funeral and that's a real mixed blessing Your jello is wobbly, that's got blamo. You make your brigad curry, that's gablemo. Your Harlem Club trottery, that's Gablemo. You watch the disorderlies, not come. Like why is the disorderlies catching strays? Just no need. Like when you don't think anyone's paying attention and you're this young, you're we were just writing things. Like I don't stand by any of these lyrics. Oh, but but can we talk about like so so I'm actually surprised at how many visual, you know, digital effects we did in editing. So there's a lot of flashes that you added, Kiev. Like I think they're like polarizations, like quick little bla bla and then uh, you know, like the the pictures moving, we put that magnifying glass in front of the lens just to make it chaotic. Which actually is like it almost feels like uh what our DP was doing with I'm on a boat as well. But like but you know, there's there's a lot of chaos that's been created in this digitally. It's pretty good. I I agree. We spent the time editing and learned a lot of our tricks just playing around with it. Just trying desperately to make ourselves look more cool. So we like Gilbert Godfrey, but are not into the disorderly. Also, why are we mad about majoring in pottery? That could be okay. Yeah, I don't know why that's a hit. When you're mining for coal and you forget what coal is. And you're sure to be fired because that's your job. When a mole's in your ass and you wonder where the hole is! You're screwed, man, a mole is in your ass. Job. The meaning of life is reve aled to you. And all of the dreams are old English crew! I think I was trying to be a witch there. When you're cool with your bottom , that's Cablami. What happened to Kablamo? I mean Kablamo! Go od, that's better. That's cablammy! Wait, I we said cablamo! At least it's shitting on it. Hard. Oh yeah. B switch up? Come on, that's great. And then awkward ending. Sure. Really awkward ending. I'm gonna say something uh with love, which is the guys who made this, you can see another path where they uh suck. Yeah. And went nowhere. That's fair to say. When we're yeah, we were we were finding it really proud of it too. Yeah. I'm not saying that it sucks. But but we somehow knew which parts to leave in the pat we knew we were like, okay, that's well proved we can make a music video and like we got that out of our system, whatever it is. And but people liked it at the time. Like our intention of being like, what if Kablemo is a word? And people liked saying Kablamo to us. So at that age and that time, I don't want to poop on anybody who listens to this who's like, I liked Kablamo because I think we were all whatever age we were and thought it was okay. But luckily we also grew from there. Yeah. I don't think anything about it is bad or or a bad listen. I'm just saying like the the people who made it could have could have taken the wrong messages from it. Agreed. You don't necessarily watch that and go, oh, I see all the promise that's here. Yes. The way just two guys I'd kind of do. Right. I think there's more cohesion to the idea of just two guys. Where you're right. I mean you're just throwing a lot of stuff against the wall and some of the stuff that didn't hit the wall could have been what you took away from it. Think about my father and mother being like, Oh, thank God they got SNL. That makes complete sense. Like I'm just like, oh yeah, you could have thought this went nowhere. Right, right. All right. So I'm composing the text, Andy. Here's his setup for whatever voice note he's gonna give us. Andy, weigh in on cablamo, the heist, tell us about Digman news, when is season two on Paramount Plus and the Netflix thing. And I said that the heist is our best song, pre-s and l. Do you agree? And also tell us about uh how you did on spelling me. Thanks for all those questions, Zakiva. I already answered most of them in my previous voice notes. Um Kablamo, yeah, full agreement with you guys. I don't I don't wanna be like boring people by doubling down. There's some sloppy stuff in there. Our vocals are all over the road. There's a couple of fun little moments. The beat obviously is good. Uh and I agree with you, Seth. You know, it's like sliding doors. You know what I'm saying, brother? So let's get to the important part. I got Queen Be Clean today. Not only that, and Seth knows this, I got it four days clean in a row this week and it felt fantastic. Just hot knife through butter. It's like there's no feeling like it in the whole world, you guys. And to me, it it just makes me feel validated in a way that I can't express. Like it feels like it's my purpose, it's my why. You know, with apologies to my kids and and family um and friends and career. But it's really the reason that I'm here. Anyhow, um there was one day in between those. It would have been six in a row, but I missed by one the day before. So um I didn't miss actually. I just used a hint. So in your face again, Seth, I guess. Look, you guys, I'm gonna sign off now. I want everyone out there to know it's it's not for lack of enthusiasm for the pod that I keep missing it. I'm just in a completely different time zone and it's um a brutal switch. So thanks guys for continuing to make the pod in my stead. Um thanks for enduring these voice note interjections and uh if someone else says later Arnold I'd be pissed. So if you can just take what I'm about to do and put it after whomever says later Arnold so that I get the last word, that would mean a lot to me. I would imagine over at Paramount right now, that's probably top of you know top of mind.
