Excerpt from The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

What Was That?May 5, 2026 — starts at 0:00

So I've been I've been gone, but can I just start with a question? Yeah, sure. When do we think your arm's gonna not be sick anymore? Oh dude, it's lasted I mean this is much better. I sound slightly better. Well it's funny you bring that up because I am sick. now And when we, the three of us, Seth, we had a Zoom with a reporter who was doing an article about the ten year pop star thing two days ago. And right when I got on, I think Andy, but maybe it was you Yorm said, they heard my voice and went, Oh, Keeve, you sick? And I was like real confident, like, no. And then I was sick like twelve hours later. So you guys know me m better than I know myself. Yeah. That's what this pot is for. It's for us getting really deep with each other. It's like wearing one of those like health rings that like tell you when you're like going into the zone. Like if you do a podcast with bros that have known you since high school, they're like, Hey man. Hey man. Maybe slow down. Yeah. You guys are like my life monitors. Yeah. You've missed a lot, Andy. You've missed a lot. Right. And I'm very excited to kind of update you on things. Okay. At the top of the pod. First of all, I'm very happy to report uh Scott from Seattle sent me uh what is my second bottle of martinelli's sparkling apple juice. So did you get it? This one had a note and then the in the note just said, yeah, I got it. Um hey Andy, I just noticed that you wrote me at 11 o'clock last night awake question mark. Yeah. What was what were you reaching out for? I was not. I was in New York. I and so you thought me a father of three would what? Like just bust like bust out and hang out with LA. I just went and got a drink in New York. No, man. I just wanted to rap. So all right. So you wanted to rap. But like if I had said like, yeah, dude, what are we gonna do? Like, what would you have said? Oh, I'd be like, oh, I'm sleepy. Oh, I gotta go sleep. Sorry. Just wanted to see First off, Andy's on West Coast time. So maybe West Coast Time. He's a little more awake. And he's again, he's like not with his family. Right. So he's like I could like chatted. Correct. I couldn'tk out till like three AM. It was tough. It's like when you were here, Seth, at five PM and wanted me to get a drink. And I was like, of course not. Yeah, that's true. I get it. I get it. Um, Andy, I'm gonna guess you know this story that Yorm brought up in the last podcast. What did Yorm it's a little uh lonely island, a little Yorm trivia for you. What did Yorm want to change his middle name to, but then didn't cause it was four hundred dollars? Oh. In high school. High school. It wasn't Ger mac. No. That's different. No, you should know this because w for our wedding we were consideringing actually chang our middle names to this . I know I know the story and I'm ashamed to admit You're gonna be super mad when you're I would have got this one right without the pod, I'm saying just just so you know Yorm. Fuck yeah, Keefe. Yeah. Uh McDuck. Oh right, McDuck. God damn it. Two comments about Yorm uh trying to change his name to McDuck. Uh a couple of people actually offered to send the four hundred bucks now. Like they're saying if like if that's still like your barrier to entry, people want to take care of that for you. Gotcha. Then someone just wrote a solitary comment in the YouTube comment section. They just wrote Yorma Mc Duck to Coney. And then the next person commented, my phone is offering to translate to English this comment . And then uh only on this podcast can you get that . Uh we talked about uh uh Andy, it was agreed we had a uh voter pool uh as to uh whether or not this was the acceptable term as far as British listeners called quids. Yeah. And uh when you wanna ask a quid a question, you say uh punt us in the k h. By eighty four percent. It was they're totally fine with it. Great. So hit us in the tennis and for all you quids. Punt us in the t issue. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Uh we had some other names. Uh we talked about how uh Aussies would be quants. Um this is just they're fine with it. This is again, this is anecdotal. This was not a poll. Um although it was up. Because of quantus? Well, no, I think just like I don't know. But also somebody did say, somebody based on that, Andy, did say we should be called quantus. Other people said quasis, but I think quantis is the most fun. Um Canadians uh would like to be called Quaid 's. Like like how's it going, eh? But like Quaid's Quaid . Quaid's or Quinox. Quinox. Um all right, so Andy, you're gonna nail this one. What do we call our New Zealand listeners? Quewis. Yeah, 100%. You got it. Okay. Um are you a are you a crossword guy, Andy? Because the crossword people were sending uh messages to us this week. Well you were in it, weren't you? I was in it and also digital shorts was an answer on Sunday. Why are they c why they trying a winter soldier, bro? I know. They're just trying a winter soldier all the time. What? What are you talking about? We don't we don't winter soldier people that host a podcast. We're just word. We just do word . Which is exactly what someone that does winter soldier people who do a podcast with that.. Exactly Achieva. Exactly. Um Hey, I think I was there this day, and I do remember multiple takes of this moment in Hot Rod where uh Danny McBride shoves Yorm into the van. Yeah. And they said like it really looked like he really shoved you. Yeah, he did. Well I when we were shooting that I was like harder. Harder man. Yeah. That was what I was gonna say. I remember it too. I I r vividly remember Yorm going, hey don't hold back. Shove me like But then you were injured, I remember as well. Like you complained about it afterwards. It's always funnier when it looks like it hurts, and then it did. So yeah. That was the lesson we learned on Hot Rod. It's like it's funnier if it looks like it hurts, and the easiest way to do that is to actually have it hurt. Yeah. Um Did you see that Will Forte was on The Boys, the Amazon Prime show, the boys. No No.. Didn't it? Was he good? So he was playing himself. Oh. And I I'm a little bit behind in season five, but it does seem like what has happened, it was Seth Rogan, poker game, uh Kumel's there, Forte's there, Christopher Minsz Plos is there, and there's a couple of the evil uh heroes, Homelander, uh Soldier Boy, sort of interrupt the game. And Forte basically is talking about a lot of people in Hollywood have been sort of executed for their uh you know opinions about these um sort of fascist superheroes. Forte says he's so psyched, he's been so psyched ever since Hayter died because he's getting a lot of offers now on parts. But then there's a moment and this is what people wanted uh you to know your which is there's a moment where uh Forte says, Can we just get out of here to these two because now like gnarly stuff is happening and a soldier boy turns and goes, Cool it, McGruber . And so they were like, oh, so in this world, these bad guys are like, no, when they see Forte, they like they they call him McGruber. Yeah, that's his go to. Yeah. Great. We're part of the Lexican. Which makes me try believe that like the actor Jensen Accles is probably like a McGruber fan and was like Hey, can I do this? Like our version of SNL. Yeah. Can I say what I was gonna guess it was gonna be? Yeah. That it was gonna be Forte and Homelander like drinking some milk. That's a big thing with Homelander and it just seemed very Forteish to me. Forte and him just enjoying milk together. Well I also like milk. Like from a bosom . Oh yeah, they do a lot of bosom stuff. Hey, congratulations, Andy, on wrapping your film. Thank you. Oh yeah, big time, dude. Thank you so very, very much. And for anybody who's like, oh my god, he wrapped his film, that means a lot more Andy on the pod, immediately into another film. That's right. Yeah, it's bad. Yeah. It's bad. It's a blessing. We're working very hard. We're very happy for you for people who like to see you in movies. It's good. What a privilege. What a privilege. Yeah, what a privilege. I would never complain about it, Keith. Thanks for getting out in front of it. Do you feel refreshed now though, Andy? Now that you have like three days before you start shooting again? Yeah, man, I'm totally refreshed. Good. And I don't look worse. No, you don't. You don't. Uh two quick final things and then we'll roll into an episode uh which I maybe remember less about than any episode that we've talked about since we started this pod. Um somebody said if we do do a rewatch, we floated the idea of like should we do a podcast where we just rewatch the uh Alf Pilot. We should give the Quaid a heads up so that they can watch the Alf pilot in prep for us doing an episode about the Alf Pilot. I think that's a good idea. I wanted us to do the whole series. I think a single episode about the Alf Pilot is a good idea. I think so too. I just have heard about people being like they should do a full ALF rewatch pod. Oh no, no, no. You don't want to I'm telling you guys it's good. I think we'd start with the pilot . If it goes great, then Yorm can tell us another specific episode at some point to watch and we can tell everybody watch this episode. Okay. All right. Sounds good. Well also like it's I think you know, uh obviously this is something that I think Andy's angling at, which is like how Dax does Armchair Expert and then like four other podcasts. Like Andy would love to have like the Alpha One be its own thing. Oh yeah. More more podcasts. I just I just keep showing up to these uh hoping that eventually one of them's gonna end and I'll be allowed to leave purgatory and go to heaven . It's not not how we're so do you think in this in this thinking was the first podcast like the day you died? Definitely, yeah. So this is all of uh just the limbo. That's correct. Yeah. It's can we call it the Alf Limbo podcast? Well it's not Alf, it's just any episode. He's like, Of course we're watching Alf so that hopefully we can go to heaven at the end. It's the middle space, Akiva . And you know what? I couldn't ask for a better group. I feel like Alf Alf would be like finding the hatch in Lost. Do you know what I mean? Like it's like a little reprieve. No spoiler. Um, oh, and the last thing, a comment I enjoyed was uh not enough. This was a comment about the last episode, not enough theater rake talk. Um Andy, you m you probably didn't listen to the over your dead body pod, but uh Yorm and Keeve did like ten full minutes on theater rake scenes. I've been told by multiple people they like that this pod is about, you know, the craft. The craft, exactly. That includes uh pre-production, writing, yeah, post shooting. Yeah, but which fucking nerd said that to you, Keith? One of the Daniels. What is a theater ache? Like, well, you guys, here's a good uh the he left the door wide open for you guys to do your tight test. Oh, great. Oh , Andy, I'm so glad you brought this up. Oh no. It's the slope of the theater , and that can really affect uh an audience's enjoyment of hearing other people laughing in the theater. If it's too high of a rake, you um you get a little bit less of that. Keeve still likes the old school, you gotta move your head a little bit. L somikeebody's sittinging in front of you block a little bit of the screen, that's a fair enough price to pay for like the collective enjoyment. If it's gonna be a big full theater, yeah. Now so on that note, Seth, when you're choosing where to film a s a stand-up special, do you do you keep I've never uh knew it was a thing and uh I didn't put any thought into it all. Okay, so no. That's a no. So no. I think with stand up also it's very quiet because it's just your voice. And so you're probably not competing with the soundtrack of a film where it's blaring at you. Oh, I think you meant that Seth was so bad at stand-up that it was very quiet. No, I just meant there's a lot of negative space for the laughs to be heard. I think you would hear all the laughs will be heard. He's like, you should try to find a uh a theater where people are facing the back of the house. I've seen your show Seth and the Rake ain't the problem. With Seth's show you hear a lot of wind . Sometimes a tumbleweed can get pretty loud. Oh that yeah, all of a coyote. It's uh there there ain't no rake that's gonna crack that problem. Um Um hey by the way, uh the uh the podcast hasn't started just for anyone who's listening right now. They know because uh it it starts when you hear a theme song and uh and Greg Chun has sent in a new one that he wanted he requested that we listen to live. Oh, right. So we'll do that. He's been killing it lately. I've been texting him because I haven't been hearing him before I hear the show and there's been so many good new ones. Uh so let's take a listen and then we'll start the podcast. Great. Just three guys from the streets of California area himself and the whole was greater than the sum of the parts So now they tal k about whatever they want fucking or vox and smoking crack in a house and go big big Wuu. I think we should just end the pod after that. Really good. Really . For those who haven't visited ALF recently, that was to the tune of the ALF theme song. Just great. Just great. Thanks, Greg. Wow, what a lovely human being. Yeah. You killed it. Thank you, Greg. That made me feel actually better about what we've been doing with the pod. Oh, we have we we talked about Fatal Farm at some point on this pod, but but do you guys remember the Fatal Farm yes version from like fifteen years ago of the Alf? Yes. It was like it was then all alf opening credits inner cutting shots into it because they're in the credits they're like watching a TV right yeah and then but on the TV was all like hidden camera footage of the bathroom. So it was like everybody's cheerfully watching this TV, but they're watching horrible like security cams of people on the toilet. It's so uncool. I'm sure it's still online guys. You just look it up. It was I remember finding it quite funny. Yeah, I didn't like how inappropriate it was though. Yeah, but we don't stand by do by like hidden camera footage of people going to the bathroom. That's in that's not okay. Um I would never do a search for that like on a porn site. No, not like multiple times. No. That's not how we found the video. No. We were like, we were typing in funny elf videos. Support comes from AG1. Guys, do you ever wonder how I keep looking so young and vibrant. Well, I'm gonna tell you, it's not not because of AG1.

Oh, interesting. And he watched it. I rewatched it last night. I did rewatch it. Did you had you remembered it before you watched it? I did, but I hadn't watched it since it aired, and I remembered it going bad and being like, huh, I was wrong. But then watching it again now, I was like, man, was I just in a whole other mind space. How so? Because you disliked it. Just I thought it was like good. Yeah. Wait, you thought it was you thought it was good on the rewatch? No. Okay. When I wrote when we wrote it. Well, no, I don't because I had quit this season. That's what we figured out. No, no, you're misremembering right away. It was written during one of our album sessions. And Seth, you know how you keep being like, you're sitting on all this gold, all these songs. Why don't you do one on the show? You've done Shirani, a new one. Why didn't you ever do any of these uh well here's your here's the big first one. Yeah. So this is an album track. We wrote it. Okay. We all together, all three loved it. Just kidding. Wait, what is this short? I just don't know what this fucking short is. It was what was that? Uh right, 'cause this is your to ru remind you, you're not at the show. No, this was I I was not at fault for the video. Yeah, so we recorded it. To be fair to uh the statement I just made, we knew on some level it wasn't it was not I just had sex or Jack Sparrow or something. No no no and that is why we felt comfortable doing it because we thought it was a little or at least I thought it was a throwaway one. So I was like oh yeah that'll fill the time. I thought it was a throwaway one. But I thought it was a But I thought it yeah. Yeah. Yes. I also really thought it would be on the album. And then once w it aired, we were like, oof, that is not going on the album. I'm so glad we did that 'Cause our album's gonna be better. It's really true. We it was a real lesson. Yeah. Um I think I mean we'll watch it. The the disconnect for me was thinking that anyone would be able to laugh about the things that are mentioned in the song The joke being like to anyone like a child, the horrific things that people have done throughout human history, you're just like, what the f what the fuck? Yeah, they feel so abst they also just feel so abstract, but also so unfathomable that yeah. I mean a lot of them are unfathomable to any age, but as you get older maybe you see more I guess evil in the world and when you're a kid you're just like why how could someone do any of that? Yeah. My kids are that age where you tell them about they're like, why would they do that? Like very much. That's the whole premise of the sketch. Have I ever told you, has anybody ever read uh I don't know if this happened to you, the fireboat is this book that like one of the kids checked out from the library and like the cover it of it's like a fireboat like with hoses and you're like, oh this looks fun and I'm reading the book to my kids and it's about this old fireboat that they stopped using. It got dec ommissioned, and then these guys bought it and they refurbished it. And then literally halfway through the book, it's 9-11. Oh, jeez. And like children's drawing, like you know, children's books illustration, and it's about how this decommissioned fireboat like got called into service. And it's like this and but like I'm sobbing. Yeah. And my kids are like, wait, what happened? Like what's what is what are you talking about? Who did what and I'm like let me get to the end of the book about the fireball I mean yeah watching it now as an adult with children uh I mean we weren't like young when we wrote it but compared to now, I for me I was like, it's kind of chilling me and we wrote it. Um I think just the uh I think ultimately the joke of like saying the most terrific things that have ever happened and then being like, hit the showers like the d the dissonance of that does make me laugh. But I think if Yeah, the joke is about this character, it's not about the stuff. But of course. But so how quickly into watching it on the night were you like, oh, like of course. Pretty quick. And did you know it dressed? Did you have a moment of like, oh, this shouldn't air? I don't think it was that show. That's a good question. Yeah. There's also an interesting choice made in it where it like I wish we had kept And watching it now I was like, Oh, it would have felt more protected if we hadn't been like, No check out the slick version. Why'd you make that bad decision, Keith? I I didn't rewatch. I haven't seen this since the day it aired, so I'm I don't even remember I I forgot that it was at a UNE kind of thing until you just said that TV came right. Well Andy and and me and Andy were texting last night. Andy was more bullish about this than me and I was gonna I'm gonna put you in the category Yorm because only 'cause you probably even though you weren't there when we shot it, you were there when we recorded it. Yeah. Um but I I d I didn't dislike it, but it was definitely a shrug for me a little bit where I was like, I get it and it's fine, let's do it, but I don't want to put words in your mouth, Andy, but you were just more into it for whatever reason. ing where I really sort of like us fucking around and occasionally it's maybe a little thinner. I don't know, Andy, do you agree with that? Sometimes yes and sometimes no, you know? Like you gotta see 'em through to find out. Like there's certain ones that we were like, I don't know if that's even anything, but then because you started and you do it, you realize it's one of your favorites by the end. And then sometimes it isn't. I have lots of examples that we've talked about where one of you where either both or one of you are starting something that I'm like, maybe like um I'll use an example of Ibitha from Popstar. And he kept being like, Let's do that song about Ibitha. And I'd be like, I that's such an old observation. I don't know what there is to it. And then the moment I was like, fine, I'll record you. And I just got on the computer, like, here we go. And I was like, I was like, I don't want to stand your way. So I'm like recording it. And then as soon as with the music and with his I don't know. I think that like you're you're winning pretty hard. Here's the recipe for the paj ia. Uh that's I mean like like 'cause there's no pitch there like, oh it's just a song about Ibitha and I use the list. You're like, that's not a thing, but then you realize so much pop is based on less that it actually is . It's it's wonderful. Anyways. Do you like before we do the rewatch, do you like it musically, Andy? Like comedy aside. No, because it's also my voice is really grating. It just has a lot of things going against it. I really like that beat. Yeah. And I really like the synth line that comes in at the end when Arcade Fire starts singing. Do we remember who made it? It does it sound like a um I think it's a Drew Campbell maybe, but I could be wrong. Sounds what it is, but I don't we'd have to look it up. But yeah , uh I don't like the lyrics we wrote for Arcade Fire. They seem a little too pleased with themselves. Not them, though the lyrics. Mm-hmm. Um I mean see what you guys think. But for me, I was just rewatched it and was like, oh man, I I just would have done so many things differently or not done it. Alright. Well, Keyve, you want to lead the way? Loading it up. Okay, maybe fucking today? So fast. Next on the day's agenda, a very, very special treat. The winners of our model UN competition are going to address the General Aemssbly and present their thoughts on world history. So please welcome them. Hello . Based on our hours log deliverating at the Model UN, here are our key thoughts on world history thus far. Two, three, four . The Holocaust! Oh yeah. What was that? Hiroshima! So it goes into the study right away. Well yeah. That was just an intro, but it would have been fun if it was if we had just committed and shot it this way. Yeah. Come on, guys! It just seemed like a TV broadcast. Nank ing Massacre! Andrew Wanda ! Real mature guys! The Inquisition? Who was that? The Cameroon Rouge? Like these kids. Kids are all. Armenian genocide? UN Acceptable ! Ethnic cleansing? Talk to the hand ! Talk to the hand! WHAT PUST THAT?! GET IT TO GETTER GUIS ! You're blowing it! The middle East! Quick move it around! And all these oil spells! Hit the showers! Darfur ! What are you guys doing? But dancing that'll set your whole mind and body free! You gotta be out and dying fire dance your troubles away the fight all the hatred and evil Cause a few million battles can do an day. You should wide open dance you guys dance with the flow girl the three stand on the fairies, joke on the most five . What was that? Yeah, I do think that that other camera, like keeping it more more TV key. First off, most importantly, thank you for stopping it before the music starts. Well I was impressed that they left in the clapping. They don't cut off visuals, but we had let it linger at the end. Yeah. That study though is that it's not as bad as I thought it was gonna be based on uh Andy's preamble. Oh, okay. At all. I'll take that. Uh you're you were singing irritating. Your opening salvo as a dude, a kid in Model UN, you were great, Andy. I was with it. I was like, Hey, maybe it's gonna be good. Yeah. Yeah. Hit the showers. Hit the showers. Um this is a question. Do you ever when you see that many extras in a thing that you don't feel like played, do you ever feel like, oh God, we brought so many people in? No. Yeah No, I feel it about bringing in all of arcade fire. Yeah . That's fair. Yeah. Although they they were a good vibe. They were you know running around, getting on top of desks. How do you ever I'm I don't wanna put you but like did you guys ever have those moments where like, oh my god, Arcade Fire, they're so great. I can't believe they said yes. Like while it's playing and you're like, Oh, this isn't quite landing, do you have any like how do you feel? I mean you mentioned it, Andy, but are you really like, Oh, it's gonna be awkward to see them. Uh it definitely w like once you see it air in front of an audience, you mean? Yeah. Because on set we were like, maybe this is gonna be great. Of course. Yeah. And I'm sure they felt the same way. They're like, great. And also like because they're putting their trust in you, of course. Exactly. And they you know, they had been in the uh office meeting one for a shot. Yeah. Yeah. So we And then we and we and we did like a Yorm dances with them. We we were pals with them in a Also the whole you know, it's every show is so hit and miss of an SNL, obviously, that this doesn't like stand out once it's in the 9 minut0es to me. It just cru it cruises right by. So I it's just us holding ourselves to a different standard. I think maybe for me in rewatching a Keeve is just like the beat drops and I just scream the Holocaust and no one laughs. I'm just like, oh, this is bad. Yeah. But I mean the jokes, it's getting, you know, not the hugest laughs, but it's getting laughs on what it's supposed to, which is, you know, your immature like talk to the hand about the worst things. The general dynamic of the joke of saying the worst thing and then saying something very that you should just be saying about something very flippant is playing on some level. Yeah, on some level. You can hear like ten percent of the audience enjoying it. Yes. I think the other thing is like once you you either like the premise or you don't like the premise, but there's not a lot more. It doesn't like spike through the ceiling. No. Uh as far as heightening goes. So agreed. Also, I personally dislike that I m I or we made the choice to scream arcade fire because everyone knew it was them. It just felt very SNL E and overly presentational. Agreed. I'm just down on it. Was that out of fear that they weren't famous enough? But they were the musical guests. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Second time. Uh Keep Keep, do you remember where you guys actually shot that? Because uh like that room is pretty big. It's a good looking little room there. I mean it was it was definitely I think we were at SNL. I don't know. You know you killed when you're talking about how good the room looked. By the way, we but we did pull off the overall thing. That's the actual UN symbol. That's why that's the actual symbol. You know what? It is good. I'm trying to find a wide of the back of the room is what you're talking about. Because mostly it's these uh real cutaways of people at the UN. Yeah. But yeah, like what's that door there? Does that remind you of something of a state one of the stages, Seth? You're there every day. What's this door? Um that is not my that's somewhere on six, I would say. I bet that's across the room. This is just this is just a testament to how much we shot in that building that I'm like, oh, I don't know that room. The three kid extras are great. Yep. The ones playing music are great. Oh, there we go. This is the whole room. So I don't know where that is. Sorry, dogs. Don't know that plays the part. That fucking building. I mean, you know, it's maybe just um super poignant. It's just not meant for laughter, you know? It's like children telling adults stop fucking it up. Oh, poignancy. It's a lot like the fifth element, you know, just when she's like ingesting all of humanity's trauma, you know what I mean? But that's it's a lot like that. And she's like why y'all suck. Yeah, that's right. I think that she says that, right? After she says , Hey, why y'all suck? Bruce Willis. The way that like Dacri Girl gets weirdly defended by being so um so bad, but not I guess. Uh you know what? I'm very I'm really leaning into putting polls in. So uh we're gonna put in Dacri Girl V V versus the Daggery dagger girl with the ball. Dagger girl is not attempting much and therefore is pulling it off completely. I think you moved your mic too far away for you, Eddie. Um the but we heard you. Uh the Is this better? Yeah. That's crazy. I was just trying to open a bottle of water so my hands would be free for one fucking second, but that's not that's not gonna be good enough for a kiva. Andy would you wanna add this to a Kiva Well don't talk when you do it then, Andy. The uh would you want this one to have not existed? Oh yeah, and now you don't ask him questions right after he pushes his mic ten feet away because he has to open it. One second. Yeah, one second, Kiva. I have to take a sip of my water now because I gotta agree with Andy though, if I think if you guys had shot it without the steady and kept it all within the context of UN footage, I I would have been way more into it. Yeah, but it's no but it wouldn't have been any funnier. What I would like about that is it would be protecting it, as Andy said. It would just feel like we hadn't tried as hard. Yes, exactly. One, but two, if it had been actu al kids doing the song instead of me and not doing it in that annoying voice. I think maybe it could have been just a cool, interesting little piece, which is just kids yelling at adults, What was that? Talk to them like you fucked up the whole world. What the fuck is wrong with that? Yeah. And then it might not have been huge laughs, but it at least would have been like a clean. But you you just by the way, the point the point getting across is don't be like mass murderers and pieces of shit were mongers. Yeah that it's obvious to children. Yeah. And also most adults. No, I had to be in the show. Me and Yorn kept saying, let it be a kid . And then he was like, You were Kevin and Hot Rod. Do you think you were the right age for that? And then we were like, fine, fuck. I wasn't there. I wasn't there. It was exactly like that. Andy, did you see the picture of me sitting like Lauren underneath the poster of Lauren? Oh you did. I did because that was on our text chain. Text chain. That was so funny, guys. Yeah, and it made me very happy. It was so fun. Thank you. Lauren loved it too. Uh Keeve to answer your question, do I wish it didn't exist at all? Yeah., that we hadn't done it That's tough. No man. I don't like you don't want to r change the past, right? Yeah. I don't like to ever regret something that much that you'd be like erase it from ever happening because we learned from it, you know? Mm-hmm. Oh, so you're glad that DR4 happened then. That was the quote. That was the quote. But yeah, I mean I might I might delete it from all of human history . It's fine. I think it's uh it's professional is just not what we like. Ye ah.

I don't include you, Yorm, in that, but you can include yourself on that. Yeah, but we I remember just really, really liking it because of how it sounded and 'cause it was different and because I thought and then for years I've been like, ah, we should have put fuck off in the end credits because I like it more now than legal . I I agree with that, yeah. But it was interesting at the pop star screening. So we're it's the end credits and it's playing and it's a short m amount of it that really lines up nicely with the credits and feels good. And it ended and then we were talking about stuff and and I brought it up to the audience 'cause someone brought fuck off and I was like, Yeah, I wish it was that one. It's a and then everyone there kinda dis uh slightly disagreed and was like feeling they like fuck off but they were like, No, no, it's really good there. It fits with the credits, it ends nice. Yeah. But Keeve, where were the people that all said that like Oh, we love that one. And then they were lays in in the audience.. Ye Yeahah , it was at the Kingston screening. Gotcha. In Jamaica. And they were all smoking. No, no. No, they were like weed heads. You know what I mean? Like they just obviously you can bleep that as is our custom. Yeah., of course But uh in a house bleep it . By the way, by the way, by the way. Yeah, no one has approached me anywhere and asked for a gulp. Oh, a lot of people in the comment s are trying to line up their gulps. They're like they want time and place because they've been watching Digman and loving Digman and they're like, where do I go for the gulps? Well look, I got a mouth sitting right here, you know And you're in New York now, the one of the great walking towns in the world. Yeah. People love a good thing , the first time this actually happens I'm gonna be real uncomfortable. Hey Sh ulp this. Hey, I probably shouldn't have to say this guys, but if I'm with my kids, don't ask for the gulp, okay? Just take him to the side. He's off to the bathroom. Um obviously like travel in pairs and make sure one of you has like toys for Andy's kids to they can play with while you take them around the corner. Travel in pairs. Yeah. Yeah, there's legit. If you're looking for your Digman quelp, uh just have a bag of toys st,uff that the kids. What are they into, Andy? What are things your kids are into right now? So they should add so much stuff. You know, just like straight edge hardcore and um wait, can I share the screen for a sec, Keeve? Uh yeah. I'm not sharing anymore. Oh right. How do I do it again? Fucking I know what I should do. There you go. I am you share the screen. Is that what you mean? Fucking IT though. Alright, hold on. Share. Boom. Uh optimize share sound. Oh no. Okay. Share sound. Oh Jesus. It's a roller coaster. Oh no. Oh no. Oh . This one, you guys see it? Yep. This is like but has become like a meme, this sketch. Do you know which one this is? It's when he spits in her face, right? Yeah. Scarlet Joe. Sexy Joe. Sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy. Look at you. More like Scarlet Johansom. Good nickname. So real quick, uh Andy, you've done this the most. This is Junket Press. Yeah. So this is where you uh you a movie actor sit in a chair and just like different interviewers come through. Yeah. Uh yeah. Bill and Wig just already making me laugh so much. By the way, this episode is Scarlet Johansson Arcade Fire and it's from November of 2010. And Wig and Hayter just walked in as cheesy interviewers. They're basically almost like morning shows. So they're they're gonna do some junk at press with Scratch. I'm Brady Troll. And I'm Anastasia Styx. Thanks so much for doing this. Anastasia Styx is a great name. And Bill almost laughs right off the bat at Anastasia Styx. Good. Yeah, anyway, are we ready to get started? Are we speeding? Is the lens cap off? Are my shoes shining? Okay. Scarlett Johansson, right off the bat, I gotta say, congratulations on your Tony Award. How did that feel? Oh God, I was so surprised. I was not expecting that at all . Um, being on the stage in New York, it's it's such an incredible feeling. I They're weirdly nodding But I do I do encourage everybody to go see a Hollywood dish. One last question. One last question. And not personal at all. Because we're asking everybody. Just tell us how excited you are for the next and probably final season of The Jersey Sh ore. You know, I've I've I've never seen the show, so I I just don't watch a lot of reality televisions . So we did a spit take, but into Kristen Wiggs face. Oh, that's great. Then he took like a slurpee and threw it in her face and then a whole bowl of popcorn or chips and dumped it the bowl on her head. He's still acting super surprised . You have great skin. It's a wonderful one. I mean so is that a that's a that's a little gif that gets used over and over. Yeah. Of him spinning. It turns up all the time. But then grabbing her drink, throwing in her face, and then pulling like a bowl of spaghetti from off camera, is that what it is? She did, and then Bill trying to hold the face of like shock that she's never watched reality shows or whatever. That's really funny. Um Andy, do you remember we're gonna watch You from Dress. Oh no. This is vocabulary words, cut. Oh vocabulary man. Do you remember it? No, who who wrote it? You and Joast. The classic me and Joast, probably some high school or college topic thing, because we were young guys. Uh probably. You want to give it a go? I mean, look at how young this gentleman looks like. I know. I'm that's crazy. Well, Seth Meyer's actually. scores here to comment on the state of our education system is the kid who just learned a bunch of vocabulary words. I mean it's a real it's a real Justin Andy right off the bat. Aloha Seth so slug. I hate this guy. I mean, I hate this guy so much more than the guy from the model UN . Well, this guy sucks. Well that one aired and this one got cut. So let's see. We're about to find out why. Aloha, Seth. You look exquisite. Thank you. So how are you? I'm doing swimmingly, Seth , and also effervescent. Thank you. Very good. So uh so tell me, where do you think America's education system is gone wrong? Well, Seth, I think you'll surmise that not all of the populace has been magnanimous. There's a lot of metaphysics that's almost Quixotic in its magnanimous. Out of curiosity, can you define the word magnanimous? You are so sporadic, Seth. God, you are sporadic. Define sporadic . I don't know what any of these words mean. The SETs are in a week. I'm never gonna get it to Howard Univers Yeah. You never know. Howard I'm sorry for being so maudlin. I apologize for this incessant nictating. What's nicating? It's a Latinate verb synonymous with blinking. Hey. I think you're gonna be fine. I think you do know these words. Really? Would you say this went swimmingly? Sure. Okay . I'm gonna go back to my room to mastic ate. You're gonna go back to your room to chew. Oh no, I used the wrong word. Again, works both ways. Nice. I like how short that one was. Yeah. It's cute. Uh totally fair cut, but let's uh uh not bury the lead here. What you have tried to do there was repurpose Griff Banks. Is the Griff Banks, yeah. So Banks has failed now twice as a sketch, and you're like , what if we take the part that's also not worked? That's right. It was the crying that was the Griff Banks. And the voice. Oh yeah. Got it. But the perspective is decidedly different. Yeah. Yeah. This one was an update feature. Um, well there you go. It was a weird episode. Uh two of the I mean, Scarlet, one of the great hosts of our generation, Arcade Fire, one of the great bands of our generation. And yet sometimes they just are, you know, they come and go. There's some good stuff in there. Ceramic Busts is that uh a sequel to Chandeliers? Mm-hmm. I will say I was looking at the rundown and I noticed Joast had a real good show and I was like Ooh, you think like maybe like oh she's like a lot of rehearsing. She was like, You're a star. Well, or he was like, yeah, he was doing his best to like catch her eye, you know. Yeah. And it worked. They come and go like uh tumbleweeds at a Seth Myers uh stand-up show. Good Wow. It took me a second. It took me a second. Oh, good. He's got a big bowl of zucchini to eat. The show's come and go? I don't know. Uh somebody said come and go and it it worked. Did your child bring you your big bowl of zucchini? Yeah. So I got your evening bowl of zucchini. Thanks, kiddo. Papa, we wanted to make sure Mama wanted to make sure you got your food before the pod was over. So the quads could hear you chew. Andy Andy uh drank some water. If the quades don't hear papa chew, then I sleep in the closet. We bought you the crunchiest zucchinis we can find. It's water crests, guys. It's different. It's a weird house over there. Well, at least you're also sick. Unreal. All right. I actually have to go. Well, first off, let me just do my uh my spelling bee. Oh yeah. Andy spelling bee. Jack Black. Spelling bee. Spelling be e . I got it with one hint . What was your hint word? It was fucking nuncio . Oh yeah. I missed one, but I haven't looked up what it is. And you're gonna guys, in real time, you're gonna see how mean Andy is when I tell him a word I didn't get. I only missed by one, but I'm gonna tell him. Uncommon. You fucking idiot . Wait, you got nuncio, Seth? Yeah, but only after hints. And what did it mean? Uh uh uh swimmingly It seems like maybe vocabulary man uh keep I'm not gonna get in the hour Obviously the best joke in that was I'm not gonna get into Howard. Yeah, you guys I little update on me, I'm only I'm only on good right now. So I have not gotten to solid. Hey guys, it's Andy. I'm on an airplane. I'm about to take off. Uh it's May 4th. Uh I hope this isn't the last thing that I ever say, but I got Queen Bee squeaky clean. I got it squeaky. Zero hints of any kind. It was an easy one granted, but I did it in under fifteen minutes and got it completely squeaky and it felt like a goddamn dream. Hot knife through butter. Uh Seth didn't. He already texted me, so he definitely didn't get it. I hope this isn't too hard to listen to. Okay later, Quains. Love you. Hey, can I just say one last thing before you leave, Seth? Yeah. I got a bone to pick. Pick it. I sent in a voice note for last week's right at the end. And I knew it would be right at the end 'cause I was told that I was talked about right at the end. Yeah. And so I listened to it to see how it was cut in. And I said later, Arnold, and they cut it out. What? Well, I I think 'cause people like uh they like hearing your arm say take it away, Arnold. Wait, is that not what you're supposed to say? You could still let Andy say later, Arnold, and then just come back for whatever you need to do. I don't take it up with Jeff, dude. I'm not doing the post. Look, I'm the favorite charac ter on the pod. By the way, everybody does. Yorma is everybody's favorite now. We just all have to fucking deal with that really. Well, it's he's the only one who's on it. Look, when you're hungry, you gotta eat water crests. Yeah. It turns out the guy who like takes out like multiple hours of his week all the time to thank everyone individually is the most like Oh, somebody said they met Yorm and they said Yorm is the nicest person in show business. It's fine now. No, it's forte. We all know it's forte. Yeah. And I was like, Norm's trying to sell you something, you know what I mean? Yeah. Oh, big time. Over your dead body. Oh no. There it is. The thing about Forte is so nice to people. I think we've talked about this. If you meet somebody like in Kansas City and they're like, I oh I know Will Forte, you're like, oh no. I gotta like I gotta be so nice to you to just be half as nice as Forte was. Correct. Like he's so nice and so patient and so kind and like it's lovely. But like if you're like cause you want to be like, dude, before this even starts, I just want you to know I'm so much nicer than most celebrities , but I'm nowhere near as nice as Forte, and that doesn't mean I'm a bad guy. And also, let's be real, there are times when Forte is so nice that it's like arguably a liability. Oh, not sometimes. Where he like someone somewhere and they're like He's like, I did some weird stuff to a guy who looked like Lauren Michaels. Andy, how did you feel about uh New York magazine saying that Seth and Yorma were the two sweetest sweetie pies of the Lonely Island Seth Meyer's podcast? Uh I think that you know, it's easy for people to just hear what they're given on the pod and not know the truth. Right. The dark, dark truth. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. But that's fine. You know? It's a good watercast. Yeah.. Right Why are they putting on such a show, you know what I mean? Who's it for? For them? Is it for them? Mm-hmm. In a way, you know, it's so that they don't feel they won't like where is this need to be liked coming from, you know what I mean? Dark dark place. Well, do you think it's just like ASMR fans who are just like super into Yorm? Oh they just know that it's gonna be like question. The one like great voice and like a lot of crunchy food. Yeah, there's certain people that just tune in for the chime ads, I bet. Oh yeah. I hope it's a chime week. We don't know yet, guys. We record these and then we find out later which ads are in. Can I show you guys something before you leave, Seth? No, I gotta go. Look at this. Somebody gave us this. He did he did individual uh illustrations for every single short and he gave us these posters it's so fucking nice got a poster josh abraham is his name and thank you Josh thanks Josh Abraham take a will you take a a nice photo of that. Hell yeah. That's awesome. Keep it also makes us feel good about all the work we did. Alright, I love you guys. Seth's really trying to shut it down. Love you too, Seth. Love you, Seth. Love you guys. Take it away, Arnold. Later, Arnold. Later, Quaid's. Fuck.
