Hey, everybody. The podcast is about to start, but before it does, we have some very exciting news. Which one of you wants to tell them?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I mean, we got to be preaching to the choir at this point.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Get on board, people, if you haven't already.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Me? Yeah. I like the squats, and then I also like the rope thing, because nobody ever does it. The squats. The squats, and then the rope thing, where you do the rope thing, because everyone always thinks... Squats.

Yes, I knew that, Seth, but Marla may not. So that's great that you told me. Yeah. Well, guess what? I don't have a cat, Joram, but I have a dog that's basically the size of a cat. And it's really immaterial. Smalls was started back in 2017 by a couple of guys home cooking cat food and small batches for their friends. A few short years later, they've served millions of meals to cats across the U.S.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I feel like a lot of times that breaks the other way where the guys doing like small batch cat food out of their garage ends badly.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, it doesn't go as well. These guys are killing it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

I'm On a Boat
Yoram, could you just sing in real quick to remind people where we are right now?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
This was the part of the show where Seth was supposed to be doing his corner. Take it away again, Seth.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You really think he's just that dumb? You just think he's a dummy?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Too much Bedlam, too much melee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seth, hit us. This was a perfect combination of two of my favorite things in my life. When I was a child, I wore the Pittsburgh Steelers in Saturday Night Live. I was at the Super Bowl. I was there live with my parents when the Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals. Maybe the greatest play in Super Bowl history. James Harrison intercepts.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I also read a sketch you were in, Andy, called Bad Guy's Good Conversation with Bradley Cooper. Any memory?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Talk show host. He was Johnny Lawrence. Can you name the three guests? I'm going to assume I was Alan Rickman. You were Hans Gruber, and it's a better impression than I remember.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, 100%. And... It's hard. I'm going to jump in. You're not going to get it. Michaela Watkins as Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Oh, fun. It's very fun. I will say I wanted it to be better looking back. Sure. Didn't quite get past premise.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And if the best memory of Two First Names is when it pops out to Kangles, really a part of this that I forgot is while Johnny Lawrence, a.k.a. Bradley Cooper, is doing a long intro, all of a sudden you hear Sudeikis scream, start the show, and it cuts to him, and he's like the evil sensei from Karate Kid. Oh, God, I thought it was going to be... He's like the kind of Gelman from the Today Show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I'm sorry about live with Regis, but he's wearing a headset and he's telling him to start the show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No, that's like Johnny or Joey or whatever the fuck. That's a different guy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
His name is John Kreese. Whatever character. I wrote it down. It's John Kreese. Yeah, he's like the shitty coach. Okay. And the one thing I'll say that was really fun in watching it back is you have a really good Hans Gruber, but also Bill plays Buffalo Bill like a real kind of guy who's having a lot of fun being on a talk show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And I would say that he's really loose, and it's good times. I remember liking that sketch.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
All right. Well, guys, now, I mean, this is a giant one. Does he wear his khakis with a cuff and a crease? Wait, wait, wait.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But Andy, you can't just say Cuffin and Crease Westside and think anybody knows what the fuck you're talking about. What are you talking about? Ask Keeve and Urim. They both know. Okay. What is it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It's how you wear your khakis. I mean, you wear it with Cuffin and Crease. By the way, I like Andy. You were like, ask them. They know. And then just two real soft answers.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, but it's like a uniform for West Side Connection.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I said best bud, but then I was like, wait, wait, we got a lot of best buds. Yeah, of course I'm recording, Jeff. I don't want to miss Andy shitting all over me for not getting the B. I don't think our listeners want to miss that either.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Hey, I'm just looking at the IMDB page, Keeve, and I'm worried about this is continuing because Christopher Walken in the film is named Paul Rayburn. Need I remind everybody, in the last episode Christopher Walken hosted, there was the greased lightning sketch where he kept saying change the lyrics to Gene Rayburn. So we're probably just living in a singularity at this point.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Right, and yeah, he played Iago in Othello, and Denzel is currently Othello right now. And famously was not in the Laser Cats. Famously not. Yet.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
How many points do you have so far, Seth? Because I have 39.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It would be really funny if Lauren asked Denzel to host, and Denzel said, I don't want to host, but I'll do a Laser Cats, and then Lauren had to pretend that you guys were still working on the show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Like, Lauren, hat in hand, coming to you guys to do a Laser Cats.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Mm-hmm. Wait, you guys, I still have something to say.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We have been sort of steamrolling you, Jorm. We can put this at the beginning.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I'm sorry, bud. Pop Star, which is a fantastic film, and I look forward to doing what I'm certain will be a two, if not three-part episode of this podcast. Pop Star is now available on Netflix, and it's never been on Netflix. And a lot of you are going to watch it for the first time based on, you know, how it did in theaters. Thanks for calling it a film, Seth. That was nice of you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I don't have my phone in front of me, Jorm, because I'm doing a podcast and I feel like that's inappropriate. So I can't tell you exactly how many I have. Oh, well, I guess you're never going to queen B then. Yeah, I guess not. I will say it's very exciting to start a pod knowing that Andy is already bead. Yeah. It makes me wonder what he's going to do on his phone for the next hour.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But before we get into this cool digital short... I like that you said you're so confident you think whatever you're about to say we're going to put at the beginning. Well, we might want to because it's about last week's episode, which I thought was great.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I thought it was very enjoyable to listen to. You guys were very entertaining. It did go a little off the rails, I will say, except it did a very bad job keeping it on the tracks. But... I got a voice note from Simon Rich that I'm going to play for you guys right now. It's very, very short.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yes, who we see in the mirror for a second. Simon Rich, a wonderful comedy writer. Here he is.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No one asked, but thank you. Also, I like this, like, you are throwing full brakes on the pod to be like, I got breaking news.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Hey, you know, if you ask somebody to do a fucking voice note, you gotta fucking play that shit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So I'm on a boat. Yes. This is an album song.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So I guess that's what I meant by album song, because it's label money and you can see it immediately.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You can see that we're in Miami, so it would have been hard to shoot that in New York.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I will say, listening to it again today, I realize, because watching the video, I had forgotten a lot of things in the video, and I think one of the reasons is how often I will just listen to this song without watching it as a short. It needs the visuals the least of any of your songs.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I think that's probably true, right? Can we talk about just how it came about? Sure. Get into it. Since it's still a fucking thorn in my side.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So this is... Wait, would you say this section of the pod is called Yormthorns? Yormthorns. Yeah, Yormthorns. And that's going to be a reoccurring section, guys. All right. So Yormthorns, go. Yes. Okay. So these... Fuckers. No, no, no, no. What's the theme song, dude?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So I was around for that part of listening to that beat and being like, oh shit, this is a fucking smash. And the reason I was out of town was because it was my anniversary. And so I went up, I don't know where we went to. I don't remember that part. But I came back like two days later and these guys had basically completed the entire song. And the first thing I said was, that's a fucking hit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You gotta let me on that. And they were both like, absolutely not. The song was done. It was pretty unanimous. And I was like, what?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, I will say the dynamic of that song and the music video in particular has continued to haunt me in a loving way, I would say, for the rest of our careers. Of now I'm the landlubber who wears a dunce cap that says landlubber and we've put it into concerts now. I was in the video being ostracized. And so it's a joke that keeps on giving to these guys. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
When are we going to invite the New York Times gentleman on to talk about this crucial issue?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And viewers of videos. Name some tracks that we liked at the time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Am I wrong in saying that Big Pimpin' was shot on that boat? A similar, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We really do have to decide two things. When are we going to have Sam on? And do we just agree now that we show the Doritos people, here's what I think we do. We get on a Zoom with the Doritos people. We don't record it. And we just watch them watch it. Right. I think that's fair. I would love to see that. The new guard at Doritos being like, oh, I see why that's in prison.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, yeah, they knew I was coming back, so they had to get it in. You know what I mean? They're like, oh shit, we got like 15 minutes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I mean, it's also it's also Turtle Neck and Chain, which is another one that came from just stomping around the room saying something like occasionally. That is how songs come about by just. One of us just repeating something. Are there any other songs that are like that? I'm sure we have like 50.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Just saying something and then like, hey, I guess that's a song.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Have you, I guess my question is, have you guys ever done two in a row that weren't that? Thank you, Seth. What about, was this song nominated for a Grammy? Yes, absolutely. You're jumping way ahead, but yes. Well, I just feel like, you know, again, I want to talk about quality, and I was reading comments, and that was something that was said. So what was it nominated for?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
That's true. Yeah, you didn't even show up. Yeah, I didn't show up for the Grammys.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It was your anniversary. It was our half anniversary.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No, I was raising money for Mari's play and so were you, Seth. The reason I wasn't at the Grammys is because I was doing it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Correct. You're right. That might have been a weird tipping point that you wouldn't have recovered from.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And we're just like, you don't have to say anything. You don't have to do anything. We just want to be able to say to our listeners what they thought. Grand's done. Strands done. That's great.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Exactly. That was his album of impressions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he was fine getting on stage.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, but it was good. It was good, though. He was really good.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I will say the fear, though, the fear that you must have had is because of pain, because that would be the only reason that I think it would have crossed the finish line and maybe.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Did any other people from the rap world engage with you that night on like how they liked the song?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You might remember me from the video where I was wearing this exact same outfit. I dressed in my costume so that you'd recognize me.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You know, I feel like what goes over great at the Grammys is insecurity. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We should watch it with them and then immediately hang up before we hear their opinions. Just judge it off their faces. I really want to hear.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Was he still on Apple Jacks? Because he's the only guy I have ever seen drink Apple Jacks.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Here's another Yarmthorn! Digging it into his side. I'm so fucking glad you guys had such a good time. Seriously.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, it did not a great time. Keef got fucking glitter in his drink. Oh. Oh, that's true.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
If I can interrupt the timeline real quick. When did T-Pain get involved? Like how soon did he sign on to be in it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And Keeve or Andy, when did T-Pain, the thought of T-Pain occur to us? Just because I think it's a fun.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
He was great. Which was fantastic. I think that was like extra special when he came out. I was like, oh yeah, no, I wouldn't have wanted to see somebody else do this part. Absolutely.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And I feel like every time we see him, he's on to a different signature kind of drink that he's drinking, which I always appreciate about anybody.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And you all agreed. Like, you all knew this was the one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No, no, you always say this, but you're confusing me with Mr. Neil Brennan. But go ahead.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I don't remember saying that, but I more remember saying, that's a fucking smash, can you please put me on it? And then you guys got kicking me out of the room.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It's crazy, because I don't remember any of that. My guess on the timeline is this, Andy. Jorm said, this is a smash, can you put me on it? And then you guys said no, and then Jorm said, well, good, because I don't even think it's funny. Yeah, well, fuck you, it's not funny anyway. I'm sure that's what happened.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I think that Seth has broken it down accurately.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. Like you didn't even give it a beat. You were just like immediately like, well, good news for you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No, no, no. Andy, I do think that I did probably say something like that and was trying to punch up certain parts. And I think that we tried to because we always try to respect the third guy who maybe doesn't fully see it. And then we retracted everything that was trying to be more funny. I believe that is what happened.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I'm going to cut you off real quick because I think I might kill myself if I listen to you talk about that anymore. So, Jeff, our producer, just put in the chat that James from Doritos is a listener. It's just you asked.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. My experience with it today is I watched the uncensored first, which doesn't have the SNL laughs. And then I watched the actual feed from the episode. And it's interesting because it doesn't have that thing Lazy Sunday has. There's really no break to laugh.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And so there's a, when we start going through the song, I'll say a couple of the laughs. And it also like, it's just so good that people are, I don't think even, I think they get out of like comedy head for it. And you realize how funny it is the second or third time you watch it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You rent a boat like that. I'm assuming you're on the clock the minute.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We had like a really skeletal second unit kind of second day, which I think we had like three hours on. But it was like real fucking bare bones. Like maybe the camera was just still with us.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
All right, so James from Doritos. Our question is, are you okay getting on a Zoom with us? We will screen share Yorma's magnum opus, the Normal Guy Doritos ad, and we will watch it together with you. We won't record you. We will discuss it afterwards, and then we'll bring it to the pod. We don't want to do anything that's going to jam you up, James, but we would like to get this going.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
That's right. I do remember I wasn't even allowed on the boat. That was so cool.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Support comes from soul. Hey, Yorm. Hi, Seth. Are you sick of drinking your calories or waking up hungover? Having some drinks can be fun. You and I like a cocktail. Oh, yeah. All of them. All the different kinds. You and Timothy Oliphant will have a couple cocktails in Helsinki. Oh, right. That episode.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I barely remember that because I had so many cocktails.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So there's an alternative, though, to cocktails, and there's an alternative, thankfully, to the headache, the hangover the next day. Out of Office Gummies from Sol.

I'm On a Boat
Is that a tummy? No, it sleeps all your arms and legs out, and then if someone cuts it off in the middle of the night, it grows back.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You guys, Coop's sleep goods are perfect for me because I am a side sleeper, and now I've got an adjustable pillow crescent. Oh, wait.

The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And then before we talk about the song, I do want to say my favorite memory. This song is, uh, Andy's bachelor party in Las Vegas.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I really like that we use this pod to talk specifically to one person.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I'm just saying it was the best, my favorite moment of the match because it was your absolute nightmare. It was. Where the DJ said at the club, hey, everybody, make some noise for Adam Sandberg.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So first loudly called you Adam Sandberg and then needle dropped I'm on a boat. That's right. Fucking spotlighted you. You were at your absolute, like just a total valley for you. And then that song started and it was no part of it was comedy. Like that club went off. Right. People did get excited. You know, it's not like we're, you know, I don't know, dancing to like Eat It. You know what I mean?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Hey, Quaid Army, you never know which day we're going to talk to you. Going through you guys individually.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Wow. At a place that they will have like that kind of premiere. Like, let's see how this plays before it comes out. So they're literally like, I remember there was like people in glass elevators. It was like a real Miami scene. People dancing on top of tables and shit. And they put it on like, oh shit. So we're looking around the club being like, how's this going to play?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
This new song that no one's ever heard with T-Pain on it. And it was a real fucking moment in our lives.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And then you're like, why are you in Thailand? And they're like, I don't want to talk about it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
The boats would be going the other way. Just like their toilet. Hey, how fast did, were you then ready with something like this? I had a question, Keith. Did the unedited version go on YouTube right away? Yes. So you never put up the SNL one?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Quaid-o! Oh, you're still talking to our Quaid. Yeah. Quaid-o, make that tea! Our boy, Jay Quaid. Yeah, our main Quaid. Yeah, kind of the main Quaid at this point. He's our main Quaid. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So this isn't a case of either or because it was always ready for release.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You're talking about Max Pierre, my friend. Amazing that you don't remember that name.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Also, the reason that I remember it is because I went back to Miami with three other couples and myself who are all people with kids. And I was like, we got to hang out with this guy named Max Pierre, who is the best. And at the time, he was a ambassador for Hennessy Black. So everywhere he took us to, which were all like the most high end clubs, we had to do shots of Hennessy Black.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And I was like, my life is pretty cool. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Um, I mean, we're going to use this time because Kiva is coming. Yeah. You know, a lot of times I think the fun thing about this pod is the first 15 minutes, the other three hosts think the fourth host is coming and then we have to announce they actually are not. Okay. That was my bad. It was everybody's bad. I'm not pinning that on you, Jorm. So this is the podcast.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You know, I remember talking to Liz when it came out, and Liz was like, I think this is the most into my husband I've ever been.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Ooh, really? I thought it was just you guys that she liked, but yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
No, this is, I mean, it's nuts how great you are in this, Keef.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, they invented the term ham because of this. They saw Keeb doing it and they were like, well, that guy's hard as a motherfucker.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And I got to be involved in other ways, too, because for all of our albums, I do the clean versions of them. I sort of remove all the curse words. So I got to remove all of Akiva's curse words. He says the word fuck 16 times. So in a way, I was really involved.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Just rhyming motherfucker with motherfucker right out of the gates.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
The word before rhymes, it's... Can I just say, I had forgotten there's a Santana Shamp ref in this song. Oh, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
These are things I had forgotten. I had forgotten there was a reference to George W. Bush. We do. Mission Accomplished banner. Oh, a visual. A visual reference.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, thank you. I was like, I don't remember that part.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
There's another thing I really liked watching the video back, which again, historically, I haven't added that element to my re-listens. It's all about, like, champagne and boats and tuxedos and also hamburgers. Oh, yeah. It's very funny. Like, there's this real, like, sort of low-end thing with hamburgers.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Like, every time he cuts back to Kiev, he's, like, holding up two hamburgers like it's diamonds.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But it's great. Because, again, it's like everything is, like, high-end. But they also are just like, you just can tell these guys also like hope they're burgers on the boat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Keeve is coming, but I have another exciting update. I mean, there's a lot. I mean, Sam Mazursky from The Bee, he might be on soon. James from Doritos, we just asked him directly using the pod. I ran into Steve Martin again last night, and I said, we really do want you to come on the pod and talk about surf meeting. And he said he would happily do it. He doesn't know when it'll happen.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, it's just a setup. Yeah, then it's like, it just cuts back to like four times and Keev is, and it's a little bit like I'm on a boat, how that's the lyric you keep hearing. I also feel like visually Keev wants you to know he's got burgers too. Yeah, you need to know that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It's a great movie. I love it so much. I'm genuinely so excited that it's on Netflix.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, I was like hiding as soon as the helicopter came.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Having a helicopter swirl around you is it's so deafening and fucking and it was getting close.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You know, he's in the middle of shooting Murders, season five. Right. But I think he needs he needs the Quaid army to bear witness to what we did to him. And I think it'll be really I think it'll be really cathartic for him to work through it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
The other thing that's great about the fact there weren't drones yet, Keev, is there's two shots from the boat with the helicopter in the background.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I remember feeling like that when it played at air, too, of just, like, even though, because I did feel like it had sort of stunned the audience a little bit, and so there maybe wasn't the laughter necessarily, but it felt like it was like, oh, shit, I think that this is going to really hit in a different, I mean, it was it was it's always crazy to see it play live.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
But that one in particular was like, oh, shit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I love that. Can we see if Dennis Franz will get on the pod, too? I feel like he should talk about it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It is you. It is total Keef in the fucking pocket. And it's just the best.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And again, this boat is real. Makes me laugh a lot. It's a really dumb thing to say. Do you remember asking me if I could get Kevin Garnett to say everything is possible for the video? No. Did we ask you that? You asked me, you're like, do you know anybody at the Celtics? Can we send somebody? Because they were playing the Knicks that night. Yeah. Ah, yes, yes, yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And you guys realized, you're like, we would send somebody over and get them, and I did know somebody at the Celtics. I believe they're still at the Celtics and now have a way bigger job, but I won't name drop them. But I wrote them, and they very sweetly wrote back, and they're like, here's the thing about Kevin. Like, I don't want to talk to him before a game. Totally understandable. Yes, yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Like, everything you know about Kevin Garnett and game day preparation would not be like... Yeah, we need to uncut gems, Kevin.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I probably allowed it to go so frenetic so that you would have to use the engine.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It'd be so fun if he just really wanted to talk about that episode in that moment and just how it worked, the shower scene.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Oh, see, I felt like it was that probably because I was just so jealous.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I don't know. No, I genuinely felt like it was going to pop to the home audience. So I sort of didn't care. And it did, right? Like it was immediately a hit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I like to think that he's still confused about what she was trying to do.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
We were all pretty mad how bad you guys had fucked over Yorm. Yeah, yeah. Yorm had poisoned the well.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I thought it was more stunned to me. That's how I viewed it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I mean, I was... Hey, we could grab a second. Look, it's the Bradley Cooper show, but really it's the I'm on a boat show. So we're going to get there. But can we take a second to just talk about some things in the Bradley Cooper show? Yes, please. Totes. There was a game show. Bradley Cooper hosts a game show called I'm Going to Have Sex with Your Wife.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I don't remember. I will say it's interesting to not really remember Night Of, whereas, for example, I know exactly how I felt when I saw Jack Sparrow, right? Like, that was, fuck. And I think maybe even just, even for, like, comedy SNL people, like we were probably waiting for, because again, we never see these things until dress. You're waiting for bigger laughs. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Or just like, what's the turn? And then again, you realize like, oh, it's, I mean, again, it's so funny the second time when you know that these two dummies are just going to think about this boat the whole time. Yes. And part of it is that you guys had trained us to be ready for anything. And so then the thing we were ready for was like, oh, no, that's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Again, I filmed Lobby Baby in Minneapolis on a Friday night. On Saturday night, I was going to go see you guys do your concert at the Armory in Minneapolis. On Saturday afternoon, me and Shoemaker and Brooks Whelan went out on my friend's boat in Minnesota, on Lake Minnetonka. We literally went by another boat full of people playing I'm on a boat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And like, just unironically, our boat started screaming it to their boat, just screaming the lyrics. And it was just like people on boats being so happy to be on a boat and finally have a song to express.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And fucking real producers, too. PGA fucking approved, guys.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. It's also like weirdly like that thing of like, you know what? For too long, I've not been allowed to be this happy about publicly happy about how I feel about being on a boat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Hey, family first, Keith. Thank you. Family first. I love you. Love you, buddy. Love you. Love you, dude. All right. Bye. First comment, because there were a few dislikes on the video, and somebody wrote, all the dislikes are from people on land. Landlubbers.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And then somebody, I just like, I like a YouTube comments section how, you know, everything's written flatly. You know what I mean? Like nobody's putting anything in it. And someone just wrote, my favorite part is when they were on the boat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I like that. That's totally good. I don't think we need to go any further.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And he comes out for a game show talk, very 70s-like game show. He like, brr, brr, brr, brr, brr, brr, brr. That kind of, you get it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Guys, I just want to say the pod is back. The energy was great. We've got all four of us. There's lots more.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And you know what? I think we're going to just chill until we get Keith back. And we love everybody. Yeah. Love you guys.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
The three contestants are Will Forte, super excited to be on the show. Fred Armisen, super excited to be on the show. And then he goes, and then our returning champ. And then it cuts to Bill, and Bill's super bummed out. Because Bill had been on the show last week. And now it's starting to dawn on you what happens in order to win the game show, I'm Gonna Have Sex With Your Wife.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It's starting to dawn on the late bloomers. Understood. So Vorte is first. He walks over and does a little host banter.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I'll say it at the same time, guys. One, two, three. Pop stars on Netflix right now.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And unlike NYPD Blue, you guys had the courage to show a full dick.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And then Michaela runs up and Bradley and her go offstage and it's just hearing that same music. A single on Forte. Well, he goes from like pretty confident to like definitely sure that his wife is having sex with the game show host. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So then three notable update guests. Andy, you all remember when Michael Phelps got caught smoking weed. Yeah, of course I remember that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
So my question to you is you came on and commented as a famous person. What famous person did you come on and comment as? I'm going to assume it was Mark Spitz. It was 100% Mark Spitz. Hey, Keeve's here. Yo. Keeve, I just want to. That's our guy. I just want to jump you right in. Can you hear us, Keeve?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Hey. Talking about three update features we have not talked about. I'm on a boat yet. There were three update features. First one, let's see if you can get the question right that Andy just got right. Michael Phelps gets caught smoking weed. Andy plays a real person on Weekend Update commenting on it. What historical person did Andy Sandberg come on? Historical. I just mean a real person.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Mark Spitz. Mark Spitz. You kind of played Mark Spitz as a skeevy guy, and I feel like Mark Spitz might have some issues with the way you chose to play him. I mean, it was all just, like, 70s vibes. It was all mustache and chest hair. Yeah, yeah. I would just like to flatly read some of the dialogue.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I was like, where's he going with this? Again, they paved the way, though. All respected. Yeah. Without Blue, Blue walked so you could run.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Well, this is interesting, because this is only a week later, so maybe this was the first step in your education. Yeah, maybe we fully cracked it a week later. You came right at it. You said, back in the day, I was known for my breaststroke, and I was a pretty good swimmer, too. Zang. Zang. Who wrote this? I believe it's you and Melanian Jost. Then you had this line.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Let's just say a lot of girls laid their head at the Spitz Carlton. Jeez. Yeah. Sure. The audience did not go with you on that one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And then you explained to me, Weekend Update anchor Seth Meyers, that works on two levels because Carlton is also what I call my penis.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah. It's historically notable to me in my personal life because she rolls out and says, greetings, snarf.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
And from that day forward, our friend Neil Brennan has never called me anything other than snarf.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
What do you think, snarf? That's great, because now people can call you that on the street when they see you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, it made me very happy. And then the first question she asked me is, how's your skeleton? Pretty great. There's two Seth Corners I'd like to talk about, then we'll get right into boats. Sing me in, Jorm.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Seth Corner, it's been a minute since I sang this song, but here we go, Seth, take it away.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I mean, I'm bummed that I'm never asked to audition for anything.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You had a bunch of them. You had a bunch of, are you bummed you weren't asked to questions?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
That's fine. You know, it's all of our corners.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Oh, yeah. Who do you want to be? What actor do you want? Just do Andy. Come on.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Wait, there's something I want to say. Oh, I just feel like, you know what? We've never actually called on you, Quaid Army, but this is it. Quaid Army, let's get the views on this. Get it trending, guys. Trending.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Oh, so excited. Hey, Quaid Army, by the way. Oh, my God. That is so nice. Yeah, we just love the pod. And, you know, Gary over here said, you know, Andy's such a good singer. And I'm listening to the pod and I'm remembering all those little songs. So we're just so happy to get you in.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Okay, so whenever you're ready, and obviously pick whatever song you're most comfortable with. Okay, great.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
As soon as it started, I knew it was off. Apologies for bringing you in. Yep.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
That's a real dream outcome for me, because I knew exactly where that was going, and it still was a full delay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Yeah, I didn't either. You didn't know it was going to be Girl from the North Country?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It is like the best stop smoking ad of all time. You're like, wait, how long did he stop for for his voice to completely change?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You've got a good one. And we're going to get into your voice. I can tell you're fishing. We're going to be talking a lot about your voice this podcast. So can we please? Oh, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb. You know, recently, I took a trip to Los Angeles, California, and I stayed at an Airbnb for five days. It was in the valley. I'm not going to tell you where because then you might track my movements. It was great. It was right across the street from a park. It was a really beautiful unit. And you know what it made me think?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
It made me think, man, I'm blowing it. I have a lovely place that I could be doing the same thing with. I would love to share it with the world. It's a great way for people to have lovely experiences. And what am I doing? I'm just blowing it because it feels like it's more of a vacation in an Airbnb. It's not a hotel. You don't have to feel like you're just visiting a city.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
You're living in a city. And anyway, I felt like I was really throwing money in the garbage and I was a fool. Your home could be worth more than you think. And you can find out how much at Airbnb.com slash post.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Support comes from Viore. Hello, Yorm. Woo, Viore, my fave. Because you love versatility, Yorm, correct? And I love the way it stretches. Yeah, four-way performance stretch. Yes, that's it. You're a big fan because it moves with you. No restriction. Exactly. You can't restrict, Yorm. Yorm is too, you are too versatile as a person. I'm unrestrictable. That's right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
Also, breathable, boxer, brief liner. That's a big deal for you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
I'm On a Boat
I remember when you first started at SNL, you would come in and I would say, why are you so upset? And you'd say, my pants don't have built-in comfort and support. Oh, daily on the delay. Look, this is fitness versatility. It's one short every sport. It's great for any workout or activity. Totally. I mean, Yoram and I are laughing because we're like, who doesn't know this now? I know.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
She bleeds out of her eyes and then dies, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
I reprised my role as barfing boom guy, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
I'm so bummed that we cut it out because it did make me laugh.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Can we guess what it was, though? Because I feel like it was another junket? Like it was another film?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
I was impressed at the length of the top. It was really taking its sweet time in a very leisurely way.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
It tends to be, to me, like when it's not going to be fully successful, that I'd rather just be like, well, if it's making us laugh, then I feel like we should just have left it long.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Oh, wow. That was this show, eh? That's fucking huge. That was Bobby's idea, right? It was Bobby's idea.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Then it was definitely right. If we made the decision before dress, then it's definitely correct.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Yeah. I can't remember when that song was developed, because after you guys started painting each other, then to get in the mood of painting, you put on a song. Andy puts it on first.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Just eating it up. I have a dumb question.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Is the show live? That's your dumb question. What time does it air and what night? Andy, when you're in something like the single ladies thing and it's fucking Beyonce and it looks pretty iconic and Justin's in it, because I don't know how many sketches you were in that actually became that level of sort of iconic. Did you have the sense that you're like, ah, this one's going to get re-watched?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Did you have that sort of sense or are you just like, oh, this is just another thing and hopefully people like it and it's funny?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Is that, out of all the sketches that you've done, is that the one that is probably most, I don't know, iconic?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Oh, the type of singing, yes. But I will say, to give you credit, Keev, because we had this shitty series of web clip. It was called Web Clip Empire, a series of CDs.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Don't like it complicated. I like things simple. Tell me this is simple.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
I do. It's interesting that you say that because I like variety, Keev, and that's why Home Chef is number one in my book.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
I think Andy should sing the Petulant Pit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
That's a good producer. That's good producing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
I just like picturing that when he comes back, his knee is going to be like, he's just going to be picking stuff.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
No, that's why I'm surprised we haven't. Where is it from, Andy?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
It caught on for fucking Andy. He said it for the rest of his life.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Yeah, that is success. It's not over, guys. We have a podcast. We have a platform. This is our megaphone. So get it out there, guys. There's still time. Righteous kill, Jorm. Righteous kill.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Can I say one more that I'd like people to start saying?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Well, when we did Quatto, and I mean, we may have talked about this, but I really didn't want people to start calling each other Quades.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Yeah. So do you call your friends Quades? Like when you walk into a room, you're like, hey, what are you Quades up to? Just with us.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Yeah. No, no, no. And I am. I am 100% a Quade.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
That was a week ago. I don't feel bad about this. I don't feel bad about this because we constantly move the podcast. So it's a perfectly reasonable thing to text multiple times a day.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Okay, you're talking about like it's a mixtape.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
I like your macro view on this. It's a different way to think about it. And now I don't know what to think because I wouldn't put it. I don't think you can think about criterion like that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Yeah. No, no. I love this one. I wish we could release that song. I wish I had it on my computer right now because it really makes me happy. I wish it was my ringtone.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
But Keev, that is Web Clip Empire, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Yeah. Anyway, we used this one series of CDs a lot for shitty music.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Can I say something about that? Because you guys all complimenting me. I'll put that in the compliment column of that kind of singing. John Solomon at one point found there was a group of scientists who tried to make the worst song in the world. And it's called The Worst Music. I can't remember what it was. It's a 20 something plus minute song.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's save these details for the episode. Oh, yeah. It's already getting too good. Shut up, Keeve.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
And every part of it sounds exactly like something I would make. And he was just like, oh, my God, this is exactly like that has high pitch like yo, yo, like it has rapping and yodeling. And it's just it's fucking. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
I think that's how I remember it happening to me.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
As a fun thing for Andy to hear. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Yeah. Long shot. It's caressing your body, thinking you're not going to see a full-on genitalia shot, blurred, of course, and then it's right there for you again.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
But it's also that you guys are so committed to playing this very straight, too. Like, it feels sort of supple.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Yeah, the minute you guys show up, I'm like, oh, wow, blood's going to look great on this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Oh, that's interesting. The line, it takes a quiet bravery to bear one's soul.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
That's true. That's true. It's the same thing. Same thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
I'm going to say something crazy to Andy, just like that. I think Spike Jonze is an amazing director.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
He just did a family trips and stockpiled that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
I don't think so. I think that just when something is so bad, it makes stigmata eyes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Yeah. I just love how quickly it happens, too. It's like the third beat of craziness.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
It's it's very good. And that woman did it quite well. Yeah. Doesn't wear out. It's welcome either, too.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Peter Jackson's another great director.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
No. No, we'd know it, but our listeners might not, so continue.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Everyone's a Critic
Well, I kept saying, I want to mark this day with a maker's mark. And you guys kept saying, what does that mean? I was like, it means a toast, guys.

You're on it first of all, my client. Second, secondly. My client, Jerry? This isn't my real voice. Oh, but seriously, this is a good court case. You're a good judge. In all seriousness, can we let him off the hook? He's a good guy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 6
I don't think they have second breakfast, Pippin.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It's like living through when two people are trying to connect, but there's a bad connection.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I was still playing and I got it clean.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I'm still going to text it to you, Seth, so there's a record of it when we go back through this on our deathbeds. That's on the fucking podcast.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
When we're on our deathbeds and we're scrolling through our text chain.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Everyone has the exact same voice. It's so fucking tough. I fucking love it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I would just argue, as with many forte pieces, often forte pieces with John Solomon. often pieces with John Solomon and Yorma Tacone, they really hold up and stay on the test of time. And I think there's a whole generation that holds them in the highest regard and sort of thinks of them how we thought of them at the time, which is that they were the funniest shit ever.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Every single one of these is Paul's boutique. Yeah. Within five years, people are like. Fuck.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
No, no, no. Paul's Boutique is better than Fartface. I'm not saying Fartface is the best of these. I'm just saying, you know, you get into things like Tata Chip and Spelling Bee and, you know. I've noticed that there is sort of a universal love and appreciation of this tone more so than the live audiences were giving it at that time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And again, God, it's just dying. I'll pay all the expenses. I'll rent the car. I'll rent a van. I'll rent a very large van so we're all together and I can point out the different foliage that I think everybody should be looking at. And after we've seen all the foliage, if there's still time, we can go to a gourd farm and pick out some gourds and arrange them.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Well, Jorm, can I just say that's very nice?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It's a pretty cool thing to experience. Can I say something controversial? Yeah. I think Noah Baumbach and PTA make good movies.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Can I also just say that I like to say, can I just say, and can I also just say that no episode will ever be my favorite unless we're all on it together? Well, I was on it though.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yes. And I think I've already mentioned this, but I hadn't seen Mad Men yet and did a bad job of dressing up as Mad Men. And he told me years later, he noticed when I told him I had finally watched Mad Men. He's like, oh yeah, I could tell.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I think I was in like, probably like a baggy button up, like a polka dot tie or something. I don't know.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Sorry, I was looking at the Mad Men picture.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah, Bill's doing a Peggy, or who's he?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Remember this thing we've been talking about for weeks that we need to do?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It's not about the short, Seth. I want to look at the picture. He started it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I heard that my dream came true and that some people made the Ross Trent playlist, which is like all the songs referenced on the song.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Oh, my God. It's a classic. I think it's a pedophile sketch.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
This is Jost solo or worked with Forte?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Jostian flares are when he wears bell-bottoms.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Of course he does, he has. His stylist has got him all up in those flares.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
No, he was in like a motorcycle jacket and leather pants. And had driven up on a motorcycle in his defense. We were just like, all right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yes. At this point, you think it's just a sketch about a crazy guy coming to the door on Halloween.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I was very glad to hear that. A friend of mine told me that had happened, which had been a secret dream. So anyone out there, thanks for compiling. Those are some great songs.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah, for all you Final Draft heads. Yeah. It's like double spaced at least.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah. Hey, FDXers, thanks for tuning in.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I like to imagine there's at least one person that listens to the cast who knew all that stuff and more and was sitting there banging their head on the desk like, I know about Capleton.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Hello, Noonie. Me and Fred during blocking used to do a bit where we'd come out and pretend like we were hosting years in the future also, but the bit was, I'm back, and now it's my time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
a ton of cast in different wigs and costumes. That's why it's often after update because the departments have a lot of time to get ready.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And I think I've talked about this, but the first time I went was the night I found out I got hired. And me and Bill were there. That's the night I met Conan O'Brien because he was randomly also there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I'm sure like 10 steaks. Nice. I was like, I got to get this while I can.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I can talk about it without the worry of having been the one to write it, Seth. It's a perfect host piece. It's a moment that Jon Hamm as an idea is red hot in the world and everyone's super amped that he's on and everyone loves Mad Men except me because I hadn't seen it. But it was like it just immediately is what SNL is about. You know, they've been writing sketches like that the whole time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And that's a huge part of why the show is fun. And you nailed the assignment and everyone laughed and he loved it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Again, I remember Lizzie and Slattery being in the sketch and everyone being like, whoa, and being like, oh, I bet if I had seen it, this would be cool. You really want to hammer home that you haven't seen Mad Men yet.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah. And I talk about that this is my opinion, similar to the Bombeck and PTA thing. I think it's one of the best shows ever made. Whoa.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah, I actually think it's really good.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Although I watched them in reverse order both during COVID.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
So I was like, whoa, Peggy is Bartlett's daughter?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah, I know. I want to just clarify that sounded like Jorm just said, Andy's handsome, and I'm going to accept that. Oh.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Andy's handsome. Akiva's smart. Seth is a coastal elite. Akiva wears glasses. Seth has teeth. Seth is never hungover. I'm your upper right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Do you think there's a chance, Seth, they mean Turbo from the movie Breakin' or like Turbo from the movie Turbo? I don't think so. I think there's zero chance.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
You know this is permanent, right? You're like, he's okay.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Who would have chosen those sorts of things at that time, Seth? I feel like that's Higgins, maybe, but I don't know.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Here's Andy's song. Akiva, I auditioned with a hundred other guys for Doug. And I just had the best take, brother. I don't know what to tell you. Everyone was like, he is Doug.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Wait, it was Brolin, Hamm, Rudd all in a row? How about that? And I think Hathaway right before it. Nuts. Really good. Fuck.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Fucking hell. I love that. I mean, Jorm, Chris Martin, when we were back this fall, when he was talking to me and Keith, was like, where's the third one?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Oh my God. We should just write podcast huge and Sharpie on your forearm.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Even as I was driving over, guys, I was like, this is a bad idea. Oh, man. It's all Nolan refs, though. He was behind the books. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
See, this is why we needed you, bro. That's why without you, it can never be a perfect ep.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I thought it was West Side too, yeah. Look at all these memories just sitting in that brain.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
He's like, where am I? Who am I? Andy smoked a cigarette for that shot. I know they're laughing, so they're definitely friends of mine.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah, that's a better description for sure. They're not literally bald.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Oh, we did. And then she showed it to her friends who had the shop, you think, after that?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
I will say, for me, definitely personal Criterion. It's one of my favorite ones we've ever done because, as these guys were saying, it's so personally meaningful. But I'm very proud of it, and I will always be glad we did it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
They were clearly referring to his complexion, that it is that of a cooked turbot. Wait, is that better? Well, you know what? I got fish skin. Seth, I'm looking at you right now and you got fish skin, buddy. I don't know what to tell you. So a turbot is a kind of fish?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
It is, but it has a T at the end and it's not spelled the same.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Thanks for saying her full name every time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
And is fall foliage in this or was that a different time?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Well, it was also Adele's debut, right? We talked a little bit about that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Yeah. Well, the cultural impact of SNL that year was massive. Yes. Undeniably.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Never a moment that I wished that we were showing video of this more than just now. That was great.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The Jon Hamm Episode
Keith still thinks to this day no one saw, but you just blew up his spot.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, I get outside sometimes, too. And, you know, here's the thing. When you're a sports nut, Keeve, you're just like, go, go, go.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, but guess what? That's why we have a cool promotional code at the end.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I'm not dumping, but I am pumping, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, you're right. You know, I take it back. I'm pumping and dumping.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Andy gets it. Anyway, you did great on the show, Andy. It was very funny.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Okay, we're watching me dance to- It's not playing. We talked a little bit about me doing the dancing, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Am I wearing a white belt or something?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
But it's so funny that we made Lenny Pickett give us the audio for that because I didn't actually play sax.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, it sounds like it's in the room. It sounds great.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
It's definitely probably the most creative and surprising.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I just love that we had the energy to be like, hey, let's do something else. I mean, I guess after a couple of homies, we had the stamina.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Keeb, do you remember, did we have one of those little handheld weird recording devices? How did we record these? Do you remember?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
It almost looked like a ring doorbell kind of thing, right? And then you'd like pop out the USB.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Jeff is nudging us that he has more Seth notes. Go ahead. You want to play the rest of that one?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Keith, how hard is it to make ringtones? Do you know how to do that? Because that feels like it should be.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
This just became almost like a crime podcast. Like, we're really getting a deep dive.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, and then, and then travel to Mars becomes more readily available.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, and also steal the air from Mars, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Doesn't he need to like infiltrate the rebellion on Mars and meet Quatto and kill him?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
All the immature stuff in Total Recall has to do with him having a stunted social life from being a doctor.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I feel like it would be harder to hate him with a nickname like Doogie.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I mean, Seth started this. So I think Seth wanted this conversation. No, Seth had nothing to do with it. And he's a piece of shit. He sucks.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
That was a cool car to be on the tracks. Yeah. Fun little sidebar, I'm making a DeLorean.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I guess that was his last one then. We can only pray.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
As we've established, it was all four days' fault.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, it's just that I'm building it while I am watching Brunson slam hoops and stuff. I'm also building a Lego DeLorean car, which I think is basically those are the two sides of my personality. That's pretty fun, watching basketball and building a DeLorean.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I do. Yeah, I've lost a bunch of money recently.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
No, I only do black web stuff. So yeah, this sounds interesting.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Always, Keith. We've been friends forever.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, this product sounds like it's going to just like change your life, Keith. I'm so glad for you because you've said that for the last 25 years.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
That's the one I've tried, and I love it. Hey, what sets Cremo apart from other men's deodorants?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I mean, I feel like you always make an unforgettable impression, Keith, but this is just going to enhance that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
A full NYPD blue. That's your reference?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, he was kind of the pioneer then, you know? He made it possible to have a couple homies there like this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Sipowitz. Yeah, man. Do either of you guys remember, was Forte wearing some sort of codpiece on the front? Or did he just do it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
You know what? Knowing Forte, he might have owned one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
No. What was Freaks and Geeks? Wait, but you guys, did you guys watch this? Was it in a sex scene? It had to be a sexy thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
They were just like, just before teeth brushing, full ass.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
It's so fun to look him up. I just did it, and it is well worth it. Like, that is not something that you're, like, promoing. Like, ooh, you know who he's asked, you gotta see.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
No, I've just looked up his face. It's just great.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I don't think this has gotten off the rails.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, fuck yeah. We're watching it, you guys. Oh, shit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Franz didn't write this episode, did he?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
He was like, what if I'm in the shower, and yeah, and you see my butt?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I just like that he didn't understand what was happening. He was like, whoa, I usually wash myself. That part of myself, I usually wash myself.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I think it should be, though. Harris is a good first name. If anybody wants to name their boy or girl Harris, I fully approve of that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, well, in Seattle it rains a lot, so I just picture there's rain out the window when both of those things are happening.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
That's how I picture it. I picture it ending with him just looking at what he's created, looking down at his food and being like, I can't eat either of these things. I'm too fucking depressed.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah, that's true. But I have this deep sense of anxiety of just like, what's coming next?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Whoa. Okay. All right. We're making a lot of connections on this episode.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I'm going to try to go see that show soon, and I'll let you guys know how he does as Yago. I'll be very critical because I saw that Walken performance, and so I'll be able to tell you who did it better.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I didn't hear the C to Walken thing, though. That part was untrue.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
What I like about Gooskies is that it feels a little bit like you might get punched in the face there, which I think is a very good sign for any kind of divey dive bar.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yes. And I think that that is a good sign for a bar, a good bar.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I remember it because it's when me and Tom Hanks were hanging out because Mario was shooting that movie.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I believe that's Pittsburgh slang, but I don't know. Weigh in on the comments.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Does that just mean like a normal beer?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, fuck. Seth's back. Yay. We were off the rails this time. Did you set a timer to be like, gotta get in before they're quite done? We let loose, Seth. It was bad.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
And just kept being like, is this the week? Are we ready? Are we fucking ready?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Also, I bet way more people listen to this podcast than watch your show. I think that's right. That can't be right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
That's what I mean. It seems like it's for the... That's correct. It's like a hipster, I'm an asshole Mets fan hat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I'm so glad because when we got to your last one and you said, I love you, I was like, is the fucking show over now? So now I know the show is over. You got confused. He's gone.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Seth saying I love you means we're at the end of the program. So speed round for questions. Keev, go.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
When Andy mentioned the word Doja, it harkened back to my first car that I ever purchased, which was a 1976 Plymouth Volare. I bought it from a dude named Asa, who is one of the most bay fools I've ever met, who said a lot of things like, that's sensational. He would say that a lot. And when I bought the car, he described it as Doja Green inside and out. And I was sold for $500.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Yeah. And my last little addendum to that is that when I was five years old, I was bitten by a goose. So maybe it's from that. Maybe it's like a radiation like Spider-Man thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, why don't we just wrap up there with a goose comment?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh, yeah, yeah. Ask me about it. How was it? I watched a little bit of it after I found out it existed as a thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
It was a crazy big station wagon. It was quality. And I had bumper stickers on the back. There was a band called The Who Riders we all liked at the time. They were from Oakland. And they had a song. Yeah, they're still from Oakland. And they had bumper stickers made for a song that they had called Shot Callin' and Big Ballin'.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
And so on the back of the car, I had Shot Callin' on one side, Big Ballin' on the other, which was funny because the woman who had previously owned it was an 85-year-old woman who had pillars on the end of her driveway and apparently would crash repeatedly on both sides. So both sides were completely dented.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Well, I saved a bunch of money for 500 bucks, so yeah, I had five on it after that. Sometimes six.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I know a lot about what's happening in the world. Mulaney has a show on Netflix, guys. Andy was on it. I watched a little bit of it last night. See, here's the thing, you guys. I'm a sports nut now, so I was watching the games. And so I wasn't up on the fact that Mulaney has a show. It's true. There's Knicks.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Great. That was a very specific message going out to one of the quades.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Oh my god, that's great. He's really keeping us on task.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I remember talking a lot, regardless of whether I should have been for my poor audio quality, but I don't know where I was.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
It's true. By the way, speaking of not remembering why I was or wasn't there, I don't remember this short. The couple of homies that we're going to talk about today, I don't remember why I wasn't really involved in this one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I'm curious about it because I wasn't really, I don't remember how it sort of came to be. How'd you guys come up with this?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
So I was there that week, but why wasn't I really involved with this short? Maybe I hated it. Is there a MacGruber? That's what I was checking that because I was like, there had to be like a MacGruber or something that was distracting me a bit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Okay, can we describe what it is, though? So Andy enters a dressing room to see Fred. You're doing great. Says hello to him. They slap five because they're pals. And then a song with Will Forte singing starts describing exactly what you're seeing. And cue clip.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
They are funny songs, and they each change genres pretty distinctly into a new vibe. There's also a backscratch one that kind of is nice. Backscratch. That is maybe my favorite. Doesn't that sound like you made that music, Jorm? Yeah, what? Doesn't that sound like your music? I think I did make that, so I was loosely involved. So you were there. Maybe I'm just trying to pass the buck here.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
Got it. Don't worry about it. And then I'll immediately forget that it was my idea.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I think we can all agree Seth is trash. He probably was trying to save money, like the way that Universal was doing the pop star.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
What do you think he did? Because I feel like he either gave these as a series of clips to Jeff and then Jeff is just randomly playing them or he did it all in one and he did timers. And then I'm wondering what he did.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
A Couple of Homies
I haven't brought up the dog yet. The dog in my house? No, no, no. Frisbee. He's going to transition. There is a dog in my house that Zoom is editing out. Jorm, you'll get this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
And I think that we did it specifically because we liked that song, but also because you guys wanted to publicly shame me, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
This is going to be a different Seth.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
This was a good opportunity for us to steal credit. Like we did the arrangement for the roots. We came in and decided what they would do.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Wait, I got I got a question with that. Do you think it was easier because there's less noise when you're doing it? And I mean, like like there was less jumping around and shit. Right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Wait, hold on. Can we just ask, so Andy, sorry, what are you eating right now? What is that? Oh, it's an apple. Still the same apple. Oh, is it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Sorry, I don't know what that means. What is that?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
No, it wasn't. I do remember this one, but because the singing is so high, it's almost impossible to hear what the lyrics are.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Well, she could have been talking about a different guy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
I got one last little thing about Liz's voice note. For all of our listeners out there, if you can guess, there is a right answer to this, if you can guess who is the Theodore and who is the Alvin out of the rest of us, you win a prize.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
You guys. You guys. You got to listen. You got to listen. Is anyone listening to me?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
There was a moment that I gave up. There was a video of me and my friend chasing our kids into an elevator and the amount that I was like, there's no point to me talking, just watching it back. I was like, there's no, why do I open my mouth?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Can I just say you can do that, though? You can do it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
I like that. Yeah. Well, there's one that I mentioned earlier, but I think I've mentioned it on this pod, that me and Andy in particular, and also Keeve, used to call coffee crawdad, but that didn't really spread.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
You can push out the air part of the toothpaste and then suck it back in. It's just very difficult to do, but you can do it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Yeah, MLD, MLD. And then my editor recently started saying NLD for no likey dat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Yeah, it's arduous to do. Maybe that's what people are talking about. Like, you can put the toothpaste back in the tube, but it's arduous.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
It got really weird. But I remember that a peg, if you were going to take something down a peg, it was four dibbles.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Can you imagine how irritating that is for our mixer? But then he would start talking like us.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
How nice. Very nice. Can I add on to that? Just note for parents, both the first two albums are on Spotify censored. You just have to look up the name of the album and then you will find a censored version. But it's a little harder to find it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
I don't know why the third album isn't because we did make a version of that. But yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
It is a slightly weird thing in rewatching it that we introduced the idea that they're Highlanders and this is going to be them going through all eras of music and then it just sticks with big hair. Yeah. Right. Like, I mean, kind of.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
In my mind, that's what it was. And then why were you watching it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
And remember, guys, we don't know who is who for the other two characters. Yeah, weigh in.

Property of the Queen
A slight tangent on DVD players. A friend of mine used to get really drunk in high school. Don't drink, underage guys. And he would wake up at night and open his DVD player, his five-disc DVD player, and then pee into it. All right, keep going.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Wow. I really, really want to think that he punched up the scene. I was like, guys, what if?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
I got struck by lightning, but I'm not dead. I think I just liked the line, I got struck by lightning and it really hurt.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Some Space Olympics effects there. Yeah, some good Jorm effects.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
I'm just like, that's what it was like growing up for Bill.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Did we record with those guys at their studio? I feel like we went to a very high-end studio and met those guys, and I remember being like, these guys are really sweet young men. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
It's so funny that I think of them as so young that I was like, that's inappropriate. They shouldn't be drinking.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
I have a follow-up on the dibbles thing. I remembered that a rung was three dibbles. So, you know, if you need to use that in mix, guys.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Oh, Andy has one about Taco Bell, too. Just talking about being breakfast defectors.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

And I do legitimately, without any humor anymore, say, let's think outside the bun. Yeah, that is true.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

Wait, are you saying that it hadn't aired and it aired this one time or aired more than it aired before? Wow.

Did you see how fast I was booking? I was just booking down those halls.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
No, but the one from Estonia by Tommy Cash is really good. I highly recommend to all parents. It's called Espresso Macchiato. And it's really, really good. That's from this year? Espresso macchiato, macchiato, macchiato, por favore.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
I'm just glad that they mentioned 100 degrees because when my brother was out in Finland, we checked the temperature. Nobody was in the sauna, so people weren't going in and out. So it was the hottest it was ever. And it was 104 degrees Celsius, which I don't know if is even possible because that seems like it'd be wildly illegal in the United States. That's over 200 plus degrees outside.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
I feel like we should just give you his number and make you talk to him.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
It feels like that was a pretty easy ask.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
By the way, my last name apparently also sounds very Finnish. If it was Takonen, then it would be just a straight up Finnish name. Jorma Takonen.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

And sorry, and sorry. It seems crazy that we would use something that would be a copyright issue. Don't sue us now, in retrospect, guys.

And still to this day, they are the band that I have seen more than any other group live.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Fuck, I know this. What the fuck is her name? She plays like a trumpet or something.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
I wouldn't put this in the hustler spirit camp of things. You just wanted to see bands and that was very cool. But I remember thinking like, wow, Keith's doing big things up there. That's pretty cool.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
But do you remember, Keith, do you remember that when we were in high school and we were trying to get free records that you figured out that if we had a publication that
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
that we could get free records we so we made a hip-hop magazine called up in the cut and designed it and then put fake articles in it was like a pamphlet and then i don't know that it really worked like i don't think it did i don't think it did we attempted up in the cuts real good
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Property of the Queen
Yeah, we were just sending it out as if we had a magazine that we did.

That was when stop snitching was a new thing. Well, new-ish to the pop culture world.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
So I got put in touch with her and I sent her the song we ended up doing, Here I Go. And she was like, I'm with it. Not those exact words, but she had clarity on it. Let's just say that. Yeah. And we were off and running. Shot back out of the cannon across the country.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
We could have probably pulled that off. It would have been a little harder. Have we ever done it before, Keev? I feel like I'm going to be wrong and we forgot. Where there's multiple of us in the thing?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Diva sent a voice note. Do we want to listen to it? Yeah, let's listen to Diva and then I want to go through because I have a bunch more. Okay. This is our buddy Mike Diva who directed the video.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Nice. Great. So good. There was a lot of debate about how high my shorts should be. Yeah. And... I kept being like, well, Charlie's are going to be pretty high because that's how she rolls. So I should really have mine high. And I was like, should I be in the exact same outfit as her? And then I was like, well, no, I don't think anyone actually wants to see that, despite what they may think.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
And then I was like, okay, so just cut them higher. And they cut them higher. And I was like, I don't know, maybe I should go higher. And then as soon as we started like really dancing, I really almost flopped out. I was like, thank God we did not make it any higher because it would have been really bad.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Yes. But yes, the other thing Diva mentioned there, which was really funny, was we were doing a full performance on that cool setup he thought of with all the people peeking through the blinds in the background, like light wall. And it was right behind the cameras was the wall they were building for the hands coming through the other wall. And he was like, hey, we got to stop.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
We got to stop the noise. We're about to roll. And I was like, how much time do we have? He was like, honestly, like 30 minutes left in the day. And I was like, just tell them to keep going. I can just lip sync to this fucking song. Just turn it way up. So the whole take, you can just hear them going like... It was just pure chaos, but, you know, you do what you gotta do.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
All of this to say, heading into it, we were expecting to really like her and we liked her even more than we expected. She was super good at the jokes, but also was super fun and just a good hang and delightful.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Yeah. Oh, oh, oh. Yes. Yeah. Wait a minute. Cause I'm about to snitch like I invented it. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Yeah. I was doing a lot of just taking liberties with syllables. It's same on when I grabbed my binocularos. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it's not for any reason. It was just making Miguel just said it that way. And Asa was in there just being posi vibes. Like, yeah, dude, just do that shit. That was fire. I'm just like, oogie doogie.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Of the whole video, I mean, he shot the hell out of it. That shot was all him, truly. And the choreographer who he just gave the shout out to. That's right, Shannon, the choreographer, she helped him with the little moves. But he heard that part of the song and just saw it. It's always weird to talk about these things so soon after they've come out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
People haven't even decided if they like it or not, but... That's what we're doing. That shot is super cool to me, so I feel good about giving him props on it. It's a moment in it where you're like, I could just be in a real Sabrina Carpenter video right now. It just feels so slick and in control.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Drop a motherfucker. And that juxtaposition when they're doing it is intentionally funny and it is funny. Yeah, it's great. Motherfucker is just really like with a big smile on your face. I'm glad we were finally able to have people here without the bleeps, as much as I love being on the SNL, you know?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
She was musical guests and hosts. Yeah. And we knew in this one that she wouldn't be in the duration of the video and the song.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
I had a list of dreams for others getting arrested, and I had a feeling we'd keep cutting back to it and have it escalate as it went. But baby dog handcuffs, I believe I requested Thursday night. And I was like, Diva, is that? Do you think that'd be cool? He's like, dude, there's never a bad time for little fucking doggy handcuffs. I don't know.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
So, yeah, and once again, props to, well, frankly, props for making them because they were funny.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Lower time commitment from her. Obviously, we would have loved her to be all over it. But I had a feeling energy-wise, comedy-wise, and time commitment-wise, it was a nice Venn diagram. She heard two, though.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Jorm and Keev and I spoke earlier today when it was not an ungodly hour in Finland. And after we'd been chatting about something else for a while, he goes, you guys, can I actually tell you something? I was drunk last week when I called in. I was actually pretty drunk. And we were like, no shit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Also, like, for all three of us, but especially for me and Keev, who have spent so much time with him since literally junior high and high school, we're like, we can tell.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
We gave her a choice. Oh, you did? Yeah. She would have been on the other one more. Yeah. But regardless of that, just in terms of the premise, she just much preferred the one we did.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
And I did. But frankly, yes, I'll frame that shit. That's very good. Put it in the Louvre, as Akiva likes to say.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Okay, couple things. First off, he's directing a movie. That's the best sound quality he could get. Second, Keeve also had confusion around this line. Seth, do you know what I am intending?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Fascinating. A lot of other people I asked did, which is social conditioning, which to me is a shorthand thing. Ah. There's even that sample on the Black Star album that's from an old movie where they're like, it's my conditioning. You're just listening to your conditioning or whatever. It's not rhyming on theirs. It's something I've heard often, but sound off in the comments.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Exactly. He's got a phone guy living with him in whatever apartment he's in in Finland.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
And yet I love that outfit. I mean, yeah. I mean, it's Charlie. She could pull it off. She could pull it off. I can say things like it's Charlie now. Cause we're like best friends.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
That was what our intention was, so I'm really glad. We were like, how do we make it that the story is that they're his neighborhood officers, and he's called them a million times?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
The both of us. We don't want to deal with that couple. They're bad news.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
I wrote it. It's a beat by Yorm's brother, Asa Tacone. And he was in there with me and helped me a little bit. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Yeah, which wasn't in the song originally. That was something that we added. That was part of the new bridge. But I think it does explain it and give it a nice backstory now.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
It's so good. It's kind of like a hell yeah, motherfucker, ooh.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
I've learned to love it. We got charlied. Wait, Seth, you skipped something pretty important. Yeah, something important you skipped, Seth. A cameo. Keith, you're in it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Yeah, he's recording it. He's like, someone's going to have to see what's going down over there. We were happy to get Keeve shot in there. He was ready to bail on it. I was like, no, no, no.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
You'll be in it. I promise. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. My man Keeve must be represented. I was ready to not be in it. So they know it's a TLI joint, as Seth says. How many takes did they give you? You know, one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
It's a long day. Right? I think they started shooting very shortly after we arrived. So probably a little after 8, started shooting, and we wrapped at, I want to say, 10.30 PM. And then you started editing at what time?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
We were changing it with, after the show started, we were still working on a few last shots.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
no we definitely laugh that's how we gauge if we're if we think it's working okay great and when you pull off a moment you know who knows what anyone thinks outside of that room but for us it's the same as when we're writing when you reach a moment in the video and a certain cut gives you that feeling and you it makes you laugh again for
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
like as if it's a new idea, even though you've been living with it for a while. It's super exciting. It's like the whole fun of the whole thing is those moments.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Good time? There were lots of fun folks at the after. Okay. I don't know. Is that speaking out of school to talk about it? I don't even know how that works.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Well, we saw our old buddy Julian Casablancas. Oh, fantastic. We hadn't seen him in a while.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
What a treat. I met Kurt Weill very briefly. Big fan of his.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Yeah. Yeah. um so charlie is engaged to this dude george who's in that band the 1975 so he was there and um lead singer of that band was there who we said hi and uh and he was there with that comedian alex edelman who was very nice i met him for the first time it was lauren's birthday wow it was lauren's birthday we sang happy birthday and brought out a cake people brought out a cake
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
and sang to him, and he seemed absolutely miserable.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
I mean, once again, when we got to the video, I was aiming at K-pop stuff.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
I mean, Keenan was the one holding it when they carried it out, but it does seem like a missed opportunity to not have had Mikey Day, you know? Oh, yeah. Is it cake?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
It's dog shit with icing on it. It would be a great episode if all of them were just cakes that were cakes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
And when me and Asa were recording, I was asking him to help me record and stack vocals and do vocal turns and things like that that would be pure pop in that way. And I asked him to add strings in places to make it more like some of those songs that I really like. But then it's my voice, so it just feels like its own genre. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Well, that's very kind of you. A little BTS. Yeah. I was actually sweating it slightly after dress rehearsal. Oh. I think the audience was a little lackluster in general at dress. I think we had a theory maybe they were a lot of people that had camped out to see Charlie do her songs, which makes sense to me because they were dope. Or maybe they just weren't feeling it that hard.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Other people told us they thought it played great. But for me, wherever I was standing on the floor, I was like, uh-oh, did that not actually totally work? And then we finished it. And then on air, it went immeasurably better, in my opinion. And I was hugely relieved and happy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
We were suspicious maybe they hadn't heard the words of the song also. Yeah. Which is the last thing you ought to be on the record saying when people don't laugh. They played it really loud. It's because they couldn't hear it probably.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
One last thing. Just another Charlie compliment, really. I went out to the floor to watch both her songs, and they were so fucking dope. And I ended up on Sympathy is a Knife. I went out and was just watching, and all of a sudden just started dancing. This is not a joke. I just... It's been a long time since I spontaneously just started dancing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
And when that chorus came in and those fucking massive synths dropped in, I was joking that suddenly I was like Neo dancing in my duster. Like head down, just vibing. So good. I felt very free and happy in that moment. And it's one of those magical things that happens at SNL sometimes. Just being in that studio is so fucking cool.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
We'll give you all the real dirt. So, Seth, are we going to talk about the episode itself in 10 years when we do that episode again? Oh, we review this episode.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
That's why it would be fucking hot tea, brother. Oh, shit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
But I would say that when we started working on it, Keev, it was more that. And then we raised the tempo a ton and added other elements to it to, in my opinion, in my hope, to make it more current pop. Sure, but it still holds on to that as its core genre, I would say, as an outside listener. Well, sign off in the comments.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
There was no wife when I sent it to her, but I told her that if she wanted to do it, that that's the pivot we would make. And I'm so glad that she was down because I like it so much more now. It was just the journey of this one snitch. Oh, his wife joining is the best. His wife joining is the best. So we flipped that one line.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
It was, you know, gonna sleep like a motherfucking baby tonight, night, night. And then I just went into it. Now hold up. Wait a minute. But instead we added make way for my wife. And then she took those lines. And then we added a whole breakdown that we had Asa make.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
On Tuesday and Wednesday. And then Akiva helped me write the breakdown part, which is, you know, piggy piggy through the like space setup with all the stars. And then it comes back out and it used to be just me, but then we did trading off for binocularos. Binocularos.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
I would agree with that. Yeah. I mean, also Sushi Glory Hole, we say the hook, premise, joke, punchline of it the second the song starts.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
It's also a lot of these are you're learning who the character is in a different way when you see them. You know what I mean? Whereas the way that it works when you have no video is you're waiting to find out what the joke is, especially on Here I Go.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Yes. And it's just not. It's not. It's just it truly becomes a it's like the anthem for I feel like every single person I talked to grew up in a neighborhood where there was one fucking jerk on their block. It was awful. He's calling the cops on people. And the people in the neighborhood don't like him. And the cops don't like him. And it's just a universally reviled neighborhood character.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Yes. But again, you got to see that in the video. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Oh my God, I didn't think of that. Someone else said that they thought it might've been the guy from Great Day.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Yeah. Musically, it's more connected to Great Day, I think, just in terms of like the fast cutting and the manic energy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
I'll be honest, that's not the intention. He's getting the same high. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. It reeks, reeks of me. This is Andy all over it, but yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Well, good. Good, good, good. I mean, we had fun. It was a psychotic schedule because of how late it came together. But I'm really glad it happened and exists. What was your shoot day? Friday.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
I mean, Diva and then the production designer and the... the people at SNL brought it to life even cooler than I was imagining. But yeah, that was my pitch. Where did you shoot the exteriors? In Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. Okay. It was nice to be outside.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
I wasn't really scheduled to, but I was so in the rhythm of being there. And then they announced that Charlie was going to be there, and we're huge fans. And we had a couple songs, frankly, that I was like, Charlie might be D-O-P-E on these. And I asked if it was cool to reach out and ask, and they said, yeah, go for it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
Got jost out there for a couple of minutes. Exactly.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
dog shit in the bottom is this interesting it is interesting I do think it's interesting I've experienced the same thing and I think people who throw their dog shit into strangers bins need to hear it yeah well I think that it's important to know too that if you had pitched that Keeve it would have been a terrible thing for the video because you might have actually been on Andy's side yeah
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
The idea for it to be Jost was actually my wife, Joanna's. So funny. She was like, you know who would actually be really funny for the white reveal? And as soon as she said it, I was like, I love that. It's really good. It was really nice to get to ask him. You know, I've been seeing Joste a lot coming back so much this season and we're obviously old buds. We got hired the same season and.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
It was cool to be like, oh, I don't think we ever have put him in one before. No, I don't think so.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
And I wanted that font to look like white clouds. That's been in my notes app for a long time. Oh, that's great.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
That's Mike Diva. Yes, although that was part of the treatment and then he just made it better.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Here I Go
You should drop out of frame here and then come into frame here so it feels all kind of like- That's what I mean.

The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
I remember when they just started 30 Rock and they were like, we just need basically background actors who you will be in the writer's room in the show, the fake writer's room. Interrupt me if I'm wrong, but I remember this because Liz did it for a little with you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
It was just basically like them realizing on 22 episodes of the season, we're going to see these background actors. So wouldn't it be nice if it was people we like as opposed to just randomly casting background actors, but we can't pay them as actors because they're not going to have lines. They're just going to be there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
I remember working on that one with Tina in the rewrite room, trying to figure out, is Forte the butt baby?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
That's more like bribing a weirdo, but yeah. I bribed a weirdo.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
And then that slowly grew to you actually being a character on the show. Cause you were right there and you're funny and they're like, well, why not throw them some stuff?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Unbelievable. So it was at the table then, right? Lutz, you and Mariko wrote it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
It was not our idea. I don't know who it was, but somebody came in and said, could you shoot that?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
I can't have him in it. He was like, I love those shorts, but what if they didn't have Andy?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
But the craziest part about it is we didn't build a set because we were never doing that at this time. And now they would immediately build a perfect office set.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
But we just went down the hall on 17. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Yeah. And we maybe hung the blinds was the most we did just to make the blinds be the same blinds. And we just faked everything. That's nuts.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
So let's get into that part of it real quick. So I remember when the premise came up, a bunch of white actors pretending to be Japanese is not a great start. You go, uh-oh, you can't do that. Yeah. Even back then, which was 11 years ago, 12 years ago, how many years ago? I don't know.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Oh, yeah. So it might have been 30 years ago.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, I remember being concerned at the time. Now, America is Japanese-American. Yes. And she speaks Japanese, not perfectly by her own admission, I believe. But I remember her being like, she can speak it enough. It's spoken in her house. And she was the one doing this.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

And that was the only thing that made, I would just keep looking to her and go, okay, I'm here to bring your dreams to life. I just want to say for the record, like I would never have the audacity to, I think everyone was looking at America being like, this is your baby. Let's go. We're going to support it. Yes. But it was her thing.

All the comments from Japanese speakers seem to think that they can understand everything, whether or not they're doing a perfect pronunciation.

If I bought one for Lutz, could we all put our pictures onto it?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
I was shocked rewatching it, how each one kind of nailed it perfectly.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
I remember playing this sketch for Gervais before he recorded his part. Like he came in, I found a computer, we've huddled around it, I showed it to him. And when it got to Kenan's part playing Stanley, it was the only moment where he was giggling and enjoying it and like, oh, this is so cool. And then it got to that and he's like, huh? Because that character does not exist in the British office.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Right. And it took him a second. He's like, oh, who's that? And I was like, oh, Stanley's like, oh, from from the. OK, yes. Yeah, I got it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Yes, exactly. Every beat in it is from both. Right. I think on purpose, right? Because it's like you chose the most iconic moments that were from the British office that were repeated. Because for the logic of it, it had to be things that were in the British office because it was the precursor. Yes. So the jello with the stapler. Yeah. It was like all the trailer moments.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Yeah, couldn't you tell? It's weird that they either pay you as a background actor or as a principal of a public high school. Yeah. I completely agree, Akiva. I completely agree with what Akiva said. It's a weird scale. It's part of why we went on strike.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
When Gervais saw it all, he asked about it first. He didn't just spring it on us, but he's like, should I at the end, should I say it's racist? And I remember being like, yeah, go for it. And then feeling a mix of like, ooh, this is dangerous. And also kind of a little bit of relief of like for anybody out there that would be like, ooh, is this okay?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Which is something I think I felt is like, is this okay?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
100% Gervais, but I was happy to have him do it and just be like, all right, hopefully that's us calling out that we are aware this is a tightrope being walked. And then the other thing I remember is at this time, this was 2008, and on American Airlines and most flights, there was still a communal TV program.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
you know, multiple communal TVs where, yes, you could watch your own stuff if you had something you could watch it on, but there would still be a program that had to be watched by everybody if you put in headphones. And NBC had a, what would you call it, a partnership? And there'd be NBC stuff that played before the movie. And SNL always got to put a sketch in.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
And of course, it would never be ours because ours are not something you would broadcast to an entire flight of people of all ages. And this was the one that We should say it went over very well. Yeah. And afterwards, people at the show would be like, that was very, I remember getting so many compliments on this one and being like, oh, I just directed it. Like, it's not really mine.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Like, it was a hit sketch in the SNL world. Did we get residuals for that? For American Airlines?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Yeah, but it was chosen and it would play on every flight. And I remember seeing it on one of our flights back to LA. That's crazy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
I think so. I think it played the whole sketch. And I remember seeing it and being like, why don't they put Dick in a box up there? That's cool. So it went over very well.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Yes, it's the perfect thing to try to copy because you can do it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
There's an interesting cut on air one, Seth. You see it on there? Yankee Stadium? What those are is the one we already talked about, the New York stories. Yeah. The ones I shot with Polar and Fred and they would be like Fran Lebowitz and Scorsese or whatever. This was a sequel to it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
And I remember it's one of the first things I think Solomon directed because I remember giving him all my pointers on how I made it look the way I looked and what to do and blah, blah, blah. And they went to Yankee Stadium and shot a bunch of them.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Yeah, yeah. It was after the fatwa, and he was trying to do some different stuff. Oh, wow. And Lauren's like, we need to get him back in.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Sure, he's been on my show. I've run into him. Famous author. Famous author. You know, Seth has a whole book club where they talk about books with fellow gents. Yeah. A men's only book club.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
It was also something Usher wanted to talk about. I remember. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

He kept flipping upside down and all of a sudden he'd be walking on the ceiling. He'd be like, huh?

And it also cuts mid-zoom out, so it's actually kind of nicely upcut.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

And no one does stand-up in that movie. It is not about that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Totally, man. Did you enjoy it, Lutz? Did you have fun? Lutz came by the house in Encino. Yeah, it was a house guest. I remember one time you came and stayed and then we dragged you to a Die Antwoord show. Yes. With Ryan Phillippe? Yeah. It was a great night. That sounds right. Just listening to this crazy music that Lutz would not have been familiar with and watching him enjoy his evening.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
And it was all of us up in the VIP at the El Rey just drinking with Ryan Phillippe. We had a blast.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

It's your last episode where you can be not Razzie-nommed. That's a big deal, because you kind of changed after that. Yeah, you did change.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

I will send. All right, I love you guys. Love you too. It's fine. They have his mic clean.

I can talk over anybody. I'll just cut this part out. Oh my God, Akiva.

I'd like to present an area for a spicy take from either of you. How do we feel about Alec Baldwin and Mulaney's inclusion?

He was like Dean Martin for a second, having a sip of his whiskey well-timed after a great punchline.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Seth has like six chances to steal it over the next four episodes of his show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Thank you. I have something else before we get onto this, which is that I just listened to last week's episode in my car. And for the first time ever, like, actually almost cried laughing. And it was, I'll tell you when. So it's best look in the world. I'm in the car alone. I'm just tired. I'm heading to work. And I play it. And it does the first, like, five or six minutes we're talking about.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
And I'm like, oh, my God, we're talking so much shit about it. It's really fun, but whatever. And then, Seth, you had done an impression of it going like... And I was like, oh, yeah, that's kind of accurate, whatever. And then the thing that happened that didn't happen when we were recording, of course, is that they had edited in a snippet of the song starting.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
And I was hit in the face with the recording of the actual song of Andy going, let me tell you about it. And it sounded so much like your impression, Seth. And after the five-minute wind-up about it and in my head going, it can't be, like, that bad. It's not going to be. Oh, yeah, it is, though.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
And when Andy's voice hit, I involuntarily, and it takes a lot to get an actual real laugh out of me, involuntarily alone in the car started laughing so hard out loud until tears welled in my eyes hearing Andy's voice. It brought me pure joy. I mean, you might be right, Seth. It might be criterion for a real reason. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Wait, you did it in front of the girl? Like she saw you grease the palm? No, no, no, no, no. I did not do it in front of her. Got it. You wanted to impress her not with the greasing, but with the meal.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Yeah. They do have ones that are like colored, like not flesh colors, like pure black or pure white. They do look kind of cool on. But the one in the thing is decidedly a beige. Could look like someone's feet. Yeah. The white ones look kind of neat, though. Maybe. Yeah. Once you're into like the white ones or black ones, it's like flip floppy, weird shaped flip flops. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
Well, our rule, as we've talked about for a while, was we only put it in front of ones where at least two of the three worked on it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
But so did we leave it off this because it was just me and you guys? No, I think it's on. Oh, it does say it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
And she's not on here because she's shy. Is that correct? Yes. We invited her, Jan, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Japanese Office
She's on a high from not having, she was in a panic.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

The Gervais part we shot on Saturday. One of the few times I've shot something on a Saturday for that night.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

We shot it on 8H using studio cameras. Yeah. They brought in that little red light and we dimmed everything. And it might've been during like meal break or something.

Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote
Excuse me, sir, are you registered to vote? No. May I ask why not? I just don't see the point. Fair enough, but what if I told you for the next four years you could eat only that hot dog or only those french fries? Oh, I mean... Too late. The decision's been made for you, and now you're stuck with french fries for the next four years. Wow, I never thought of it that way. I think I will vote.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Hey!, Extreme Challenge, and Jam the Vote

The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
I can only speak for myself, and we kind of just already covered this, but I really was not angry at all. For whatever reason, it was so nice to not, to just have someone else to blame. And to just be like, and I remember this, we really were, and this is what Kevin just wrote on the note, Friday night, that attitude was like... We tried. Oh, well, well, they're saying they still need something.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
So let's give them something for dress so that they can get from one set to the other. Like we felt an obligation at that point to give them 90 seconds to change sets or change wigs. And I remember that's why we filmed you doing it. And then I was like, well, I'll just cut it together to give them something and was putting all those shitty effects on it to just make it all of a piece.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
And then wrote that thing. But truly, I mean, we can't say it enough, the amount of which we were positive it wasn't going to air. Yeah. And the shock we felt when it was on the rundown and the shock we felt when it aired out. It was kind of exhilarating a little bit of just like, oh, this is anything can happen.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Oh, my God. But that's so much more embarrassing than Daiquiri Girl. Daiquiri Girl's not embarrassing somehow because it's not doing anything.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
What if the listeners all gang up to review bomb us and make Daiquiri Girl our winner?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Yeah, we could try to get that going now. Yeah. But most people's daiquiri girls don't end up on the show. We definitely thought it was not going to air.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Yes, of course. Was there a reaction in the audience?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
I think having that sketch in, and I don't even remember if I worked on it or not or whatever, but it still makes it easier to even more feel like you don't need the short.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
You're just like, oh, well, you already have something in. You don't need another thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Oh. Oh, you know what? I'm having this vague memory of they were going to be on for Crazy in the first album, but it was the end of the summer and they stick to their guns so hard that they had vowed that they were done with Crazy and they were moving on to the next thing. And SNL always likes to have the song of the summer. Right. kind of come on as the season premiere of the fall.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
And because they refused to do crazy, they didn't get booked. Whoa. And then this was for the second album. Is that true?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
I remembered it being so mercifully short, and then it did not feel that way to me now watching. It felt... Everything could have been at double time, and I was watching at regular time for the record. I heard your comments. But that's how long it felt. When you guys were watching me watch, you're like, it couldn't possibly be this long, but it is.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Touche. Kevin, anything else you wanted to add? Are you still listening? I mean, this is really your episode.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
You want to go over there? Hey, maybe Benjamin Franklin will change your mind. I think the people who are good at it know how to kind of agree on a number before the bill goes into the hand all greasy style. I don't think they're just like... In a movie, it's always like someone goes, maybe this will change your mind like you just did, Andy. And then the guy's like, nope.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
And then you're shelling out money, which is a really bad way to negotiate. I think in real life, people go like, what's it really going to cost me? I got three guys with me. You know, they kind of get it aside. And the guy goes... 40 bucks a head. And he goes, all right. And then the palm gets greased. I think that's how it really happens.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
I've seen you both tip very well, but that's also just in case they're going to go on gawker.com after and talk shit.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Oh, I'd love to watch one of you go try to grease a palm. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
It's so embarrassing because, you know, if they're at a maitre d' or a doorman at somewhere that's fancy enough to get greased, then you know they know everything about it. They see every kind of greasing coming in. They see the $100 bill. They see the $10 bill. They see the person that's, like, nervous. And, you know, they know it all.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
And then you're coming in there trying to compete as a total virgin to it. You have no clue what you're doing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
It's implying that you can't be trusted with cash.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
I mean, we were definitely in the corner, but no more so than any of the other weeks that we are constantly.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Kevin, you're in a new apartment now or what does Seth pay you? How are those dudes?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
But also, now we'll know if he listened. It's good to throw a little grenade in here. Yeah, it is. Otherwise, we won't even know. He'll just be like, hey, great job on the episode, but he might not listen.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Yes, we did. Andy, you can correct me if you felt differently. We wrote a sketch for Gnarls Barkley. It would have been our friend Brian, who's Danger Mouse, and then CeeLo. And they were roommates with Andy, et cetera, et cetera. But even that one, I will admit, I was so, so on. But it was one of those ones where it's like, all right, we got to write something. We wrote it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
We're like, it had jokes. I'm sure it would have been a solid B. Oh, so it wasn't a song. It was not a song. No. Okay. It was not a song.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
No. It was a sketch. And I remember thinking, this is not one of our strongest, but let's go through with it. And sometimes those end up being surprises as we've gone over. But I definitely remember when they called, it was, I mean, it was late. How late? Do you think it was Friday night at 9 p.m. that they pulled the rug out? Like we were already on the location or on the way to the location.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Correct. And on some level, I remember feeling relief. Like, oh. Wow, we just got the next 24 hours instead of staying up all night and having to do a short. We're cruising. They just gave us the day off. And then in another way, I don't remember. Andy, do you remember what happened at that point? Did we call Lauren? What happened?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Wait, I just saw Kevin Miller joined as guest. Kevin, are you there? Can you turn on your mic?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
No, there was nothing. No. And no crew. It's just us.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Was that going to be your wig, Andy, as their bad roommate? It must have been.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Clementine. It is the Shirani wig, kind of, right? Yeah. But pre-Shirani. They might have recycled it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
It's the demo. It's like when you just hit like Samba on a Casio keyboard and it starts playing whatever it starts playing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
It's generous. You are so nice. The whole thing is the equivalent if I just turned to you right now and said, make a song with what's near you. And you would honestly be like, podcast mic on my head. What are you doing?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
We definitely had not thought of it until editing. I just don't remember that I just did it or not.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Daiquiri Girl
Kevin Miller just wrote something which is correct. He wrote, I remember that there was a panic that it was actually going to air. Once we saw it on there, we went to that meeting and you see what's going to air. We were like, what?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
I also say, though, it was worth it. Like everything that you put in, I think, came out on screen and was very good.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Can I just tell a quick story? And you can cut it out if you want to.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Well, it's a little bit tangential, but it's because we mentioned Coldplay, but it was one of my favorite SNL moments, which is that when we were on the show, my grandmother would try to stay up for the show to see our shorts. And I just remember a moment where she was like, I tried to stay up for the short, but then I fell asleep during hot plate. And I was like, hot plate?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
I was like, oh, cold plate. But I just like that she called it hot plate.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
And then the other funny one was that she would call our buddy Brian Danger Mouse.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
And then I told that to Brian. He was like, this is just as good a name. I should just change it. Dragon Mice is a good name, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

Robin and David Byrne, that like taught me how to dad dance. I was like, I got to fucking practice my moves.

She was behind us for red carpet for the 50th. We ended up talking to her for like 15 minutes. So I got my Robin talk.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Wait, Andy, did you have any interactions after the short with any of the people that were in the short and their faces had been manipulated with the anxiety?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Give us some examples though. So Marvelous, obviously.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
That is very accurate and thrown together last minute, just like the rest of the show.

I love that people do this as a hobby. So there's someone with a stopwatch doing this out in the world.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

Was Eddie doing a better Tracy than Tracy? Wait on the comments.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
You guys, not that I wasn't in your section, but I wasn't in your section because I wasn't allowed there. So I was in Seth's stage, which was the overflow.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
I was vibes in the overflow. It had a lot of hitters in there. I'm not going to name names. But we actually immediately fled and went up to Higgins' room and hung out with Shur and Dennis. And it was so nice to be back in that. We spent a lot of shows in Higgins' office making gin and tonics, and it was just nice to be back. in the guts of the building again with everybody.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
It was nice. It was nice. But, you know, we bounced immediately.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
It was harder to, which is part of the reason why I wanted to watch in Higgins, honestly. It was just like to focus on it with like writers.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Wait, how late did you guys stay at that Jamie Jam?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Wait, what were your guys' best experiences with cool, famous people at the party? Well, we said Bonnie Raitt. That was excellent. Yeah, that's very cool. Bonnie Raitt was A+.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
I'm not just saying this, but it was an absolute joy to just see people who worked at the show. Like I loved running into Betsy Torres, who we spent a lot of time with a censor at NBC.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
So that was her mic drop. She was like, you can't say that. Drop the mic. See you later.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Yeah. That was my favorite thing that's ever happened.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
It was so fantastic. I was jumbled over the entire time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

No, I feel very confident it won't. No, we know what's coming. So it can't possibly ruin it. Y'all get boners.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

It was like a wedding. It was just like a sprawling. You couldn't take it all in.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Like, I was immediately like, God, I want to look like that when I'm her age. Is that what you were thinking? Yeah, like, if I could be that fit. Also, Bonnie Raitt, too.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Well, I bet, Seth, I told this to Andy, but I bet my wife that I could look like Jeremy Allen White from his Calvin Klein photo shoot by the end of this year. So I'm very focused on health right now. Great.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Well, to be fair, on this podcast, we don't show people the video of the podcast, but I haven't done it shirtless. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
That's why I was jealous. I assumed you guys stayed for that because I heard there were some pretty good matchups. Like Forte performed with Eddie maybe? Oh, really? Yeah, some other good stuff happened and we missed it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
Did either of you guys get to hang out with Spivey at all? I didn't get to see Spivey. I did. I got some good Spivey time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

So great. Wait, hold on. We haven't talked about my cupcake dancing, though, guys. That was really good, too. It was. You did a great job. Thanks, guys. Thank you.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
I may have picked this up from hanging around Emily Spivey, but Spivey, I feel like, does this occasionally where if something's funny enough, she makes this kind of like, ugh, sound. And I was constantly doing that. It was just like, ugh, the wordage of that joke.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
It's so weird that none of it's true, though, and it doesn't cause anxiety, and it doesn't make you take anti-anxiety pills or anything like that.

The notes from Lorne was great. And drinking sweet tea. It was the coal miner tapping his knee nervously. That was my favorite.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
OK, so it was hot in there. The material was hot, but I persevered. I got into it. I got into it early, too, when they were like, you know, you have five minutes. No way. I'm in it early. So I'm ready to get on. I get the sleeves on. I get the tight things on and the boots and everything. I had to practice the squeezing of the cat to make the smoke come out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
I actually stayed after rehearsal was over to make sure that I knew how to work the cat in the big gloves and everything like that. So I was there. I made it happen. And I was so thankful to just be a part of this big celebration that was like honoring what this show meant over 50 years to so many people. And so I was there. I loved it. That was great. All right. Until the next 50th.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
I mean, do we think there's going to be a 55th? We should probably pause until the next 50th.

It was nice to be there in person. All right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
The SNL 50th Recap
There were people in the audience, too, that I was looking over. In addition to looking around and finding people that I loved enjoying it, I was also clocking some pretty young kids just being psyched about the song choices, too.
