Listener Q&A Episode 3
But yes, I remember the first time I actually was on the show and was saying words, I was shocked how little I had been told and how it was just happening. I was like, oh, I'm on the show right now. This is it. Like it went from being my dream to happening in a matter of weeks. And now I'm just doing it and it's happening.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Oh, it's so fucking good. Sorry, this is right at the top of a Q&A app. This is nonsense.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And then I had that problem, which is if I had written the sketch, I would mouth along the lines of people.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I did. Oh, no. And it was really bad. And Jenna, who's still a stage manager there, used to move her hand like a puppet mouth to let me know I was doing it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Oh, my gosh. You're doing the thing where you are moving your mouth for everybody else's lines. Okay, I have a question for you guys, since you're both on the show.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Does it help that you're looking at cue cards and not necessarily the actor that you're looking at? Or is that actually worse in terms of like the nervousness of like, holy shit, I'm here just talking on national television as it's happening?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I, depending on the sketch and the blocking, you know what I mean? If it's a ton of lines that you got to get through really fast, it's better to make sure that your eyeline is correct with cameras and stay on cards. Gotcha. If it's more performance based and you're doing a lot of physicality and moving around.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
But that's good. You know, it's a rewatch for us, but I think there's also other things for people to watch. Yeah. Maybe for the first time. Yeah. All right. Happy New Year, guys. Happy New Year, Seth. When we left it off a week ago or five minutes ago, depending on how you see time.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
You want to like always dart over to the person.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
There's a skill that some people have way better than me called jumping cards because there's multiple sets where you can move around the scene and jump from one set of cards to another mid-sentence.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
You're literally like your gaze is hitting different cards at different times. Exactly.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And some people are very, very savvy about it and build in little moves and moments for themselves to get to the other set because they want to be more active in the scene. And there are times when I will watch something back, especially recently because we're revisiting things, and I'll be like, woof, I am locked on those cards.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Who was super good at jumping cards? I assume like haters of the world?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Farrell, Wig, Dana Carvey, like the legendary people where you're like, they were like do-it-all people that can just like...
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I had that same hesitation, Andy, which is to jump a card requires faith that the second card will be there. And you know it will.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
But it's such a leap of faith, midline.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
But it's also, you're going pretty much off one set of cards for rehearsals. You don't see another set of cards until you block day of, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
How many sets of cards will they have? Is it always two?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It depends on how many characters are in the scene, but there could be four sets. Easy. That's max. Amazing. That's amazing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Usually two or three. And if it's like a one or two camera, obviously just one monologue one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And what percentage of the time are there mistakes on cards? Would you say? Very rare. Very rare. It's fucking amazing. That's like to have four sets of cards. They're fucking good. They're so good.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah. Cards, everyone in cards, they work so hard, so fast. It was even crazier going back this season, Seth, in my opinion, in terms of how late the changes and how many changes were going in. Yeah. Those political cold opens, it was insane because there were like five, six writers working on them at all times.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And changes coming in from five different writers and the cards team just like making them all make sense and be legible and-
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
They're also taking white tape to make changes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It's so analog. One writer stands with Wally. Wally does cue cards for my show to this day. And by the way, to echo your sentiment, Andy, the amount of Mondays he would walk in and say, well, we broke a new record.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Just a number of cards and how late they get the changes. But one writer with the script stands over Wally as he goes through one set of cards and you're making changes. And then four other people are just mirroring the changes as they happen.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
They're just watching Wally and changing their set of cards as well. That's incredible. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Also, something that is incredibly common, Jorm and whomever is listening. is if you have a piece and you're worried about the changes, you go try to find someone who's not currently on a sketch and look at your cards and make sure that they are correct. You can catch last minute things that way too.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I recently watched Seth's special on HBO, and after watching it, I'm curious whose Swedish chef impression is better, Andy or Seth's. Let me start. I had some real ethical questions about whether or not I could Swedish chef based on how close we are. Did you actually, though? I did actually.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It's so funny when you catch it. It's that thrill when you're running cards and you catch a change, you're like, no, that's still in and then everybody's like,
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
that's your lead cards, number 47, sketch seven, card number 47.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And it really is. It's terrible that it happens, but it's so exciting that they know how to fix it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
No, I mean, I obviously have checked cards at the show and doing live sketches and things, but it's so different to hear about your guys' experience. I just never realized it was that many cards, too, that you would have that many cards for one sketch, too. It's incredible.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
The other crazy thing is sometimes if the show's running long, they'll start cutting. This only happened to me a few times, but it does happen where you are in the middle of your sketch and they start cutting the sketch live.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I was doing a sketch once and Chris Kelly, the other floor manager, was like given like the we're cutting, we're cutting under his, you know, chin thing. And they just started pulling cards out of the stack and throwing. And I was like, huh?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
We have spent a whole week getting ready to get back into these wonderful questions, and I'm just kidding. It's only been five seconds in our life.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And you have to be like in the scene while you're watching them do that and not freak out and fuck up the scene because you're live on television and then keep going and try and make the transition from the cards that are getting lifted to whatever card it's landing on.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It's psychotic. The idea of them thinking about like an actor who's like, you're in my eyeline.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Like when you're dealing with people literally throwing out your lines live.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Well, by the way, the hilarious thing is since I've left the show, you watch the show at home and when things aren't perfect, you're like, this is a mess. Like you just forget immediately because you're like, I don't know, I want it to be as good as everything else I watch.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah, I think I got a lot better at a lot of the things. Also, most, if not 99 percent of the work I was doing was direct to camera. I still never said my first words on Weekend Update without a 50 50 doubt that they just wouldn't come out. Really? Wow. The idea of going out and starting Weekend Update, starting that first joke was never anything but white knuckle terror for me. That's crazy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Once I started talking, I was fine, but I just had a real like, ugh.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Doesn't help that there's a giant theme song leading up to you talking.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I know that feeling. I just, after doing it for so many years, Seth, I figured you would have settled down enough.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Fallon and I did a George Washington and Thomas Jefferson thing at a Weekend Update Thursday a few years ago, back when I did one of those. And it was so funny to be sitting backstage about to roll out, having just done my show, which is also a television show. Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And because it's live and that is all it takes, heart pounding out of my chest as I was sitting in that little rolling chair about to go out.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
You mean for comedy on comedy, like can you go into Andy's territory?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I mean, I will say when I went back this season, the first cold open, I was flipping out. and like got dry mouth and shit to the point where I was so nervous at dress that I brought water with me for air and it really helped. I like sipped water right before I went out because I was like, oh shit, this is going to be intense. And then it's the same thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Once you get your first laugh, you relax again and you're like, oh right, I did this for seven years.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah. It's fun, though. The fact that both of those have big lead-up theme songs, like, the show is about to start. The show is about to start.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It's all on you. That's part of it. And you better not fuck up. Obviously he's good, because why else would he be in the package? We shot him walking down the street of New York.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Going through my texts, Monday, October 28th, I texted Seth to say I loved his special. He said, was so worried doing Swedish chef would end our friendship. And I said, do you remember what I said? No. It deaf crossed a line, but we're in too deep now.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
You must know what he's doing to have gotten here in the first place.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
So sweet. Thank you. Another A-plus voice, too. Wow. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I mean, it's not a crime to like daiquiri girl. It's not. Not in this country. It's maybe a bit of a comedy crime. Is it? But you know what? If you love it. If you love it, you love it. Go to it. There's still jokes. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It's got jokes. I mean, look, they're all our babies.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah. That's a good way of looking at it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Okay, so this is a really important question. Andy, is it just Frisbee that you hate, or is it all Italian greyhounds? Really important.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Thank you for that really important question. I haven't really interacted with any other Italian greyhounds, so I'm going to say it's just Frisbee. Short and sweet. To the point. But Seth, I got your holiday card. Yeah. And I texted you about it. You were pretty upset. Well, the front, again, is just the beautiful children in adorable Nutcracker costumes. Yeah, pretty cute.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And then it's like, oh, happy holidays from their names. And then on the back, another picture.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And Frisbee's in there. It's honestly like a jump scare from a horror movie. It's like, oh, it actually was a happy ending. The final girl killed the monster and she's safe at home.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
is what it was like for me. I get asked a lot in my show's Q&A, do you still hate Frisbee? And I just want to stress to everybody, there's no chance of turning this ship around. This is a big old freighter in the middle of the Panama Canal.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I texted you on a Sunday, Seth, and do you remember what I texted you? It was football related. No, what was it? I remember what you texted about football.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I don't remember how it tied to Frisbee.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Everyone knows Seth is a big Steelers fan. Yeah. I texted, do you think Russ throwing that pick six was karma for you sending me this sneak attack?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
You thought the Steelers lost because I sent you that holiday card.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I hoped. Who knows how the universe works.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And I have nothing against the Steelers, but man, oh man, I was glad you lost that day.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Because Frisbee's getting older and I asked my audience the other day, would it be a funny joke to when she dies, send you the bones? Yeah. Oh my God. And then the best was I was giving a long answer about how I thought that was really, I mean, I had come up with this idea and I was asking the audience, like, is that an okay thing to do?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
So earlier in our friendship, it would have been a deal breaker.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And then somebody very close to me, because I walk up the aisle, just looked up at me and said, how are you going to get the bones? Yeah, how are you going to get the bones? I'd like to think about it. So then we were talking about being at the vet when you're like putting your dog down and it's like super sad. And then you're like, also, can you get the bones out? Here's the thing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I've been working on this material and I really need you to help me out. Excuse me? I'm really bummed that I burned this because then I realized I could just buy any sort of like, you know, rat skull and just send you the skull. It would work. I'd believe it in a heartbeat. It would have worked. And so I burned it for the pod.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I think we've maybe touched on this before, but if and when, we don't know what type of being Frisbee even is. That's true. Sort of immortal demon. But if Frisbee passes on to the netherworld from whence she came, do I need to come on your show and do like a musical tribute of some sort? I think so. Yeah, we should talk about it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah, we're in too deep now. There's no going back on our friendship. You can Swedish chef it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I think so. I liked the picture of the kids being really sad and me, you know, calming them down while I'm also just fucking giggling while I'm putting a skull in a box.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
No, I know. We'll get another dog. She's in a better place. Oh, she was a good one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
He's going to shit himself. Someone asked me, did I know while we were doing it that it was Anne Golden era? Or did it take leaving and some time to have that realization? I think I knew by the end of it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
So if this was a standup special that came out in 2007, it's a real problem.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Do you guys remember year five of us being there? They did a documentary about the 2000s.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
But I was just like, okay, we're doing documentaries about, and I wasn't saying that the era was great. It was just like that we were doing documentaries about the time that was happening now. And that was a moment that I was like, I think I can leave this show now.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Interesting. I mean, you know, they do like TV movies about stuff that happened last week.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Doesn't necessarily mean it was good. It was also probably contractually obligated. They'd just finished the one on the 90s.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It was, for sure. But it was just weird to do a documentary about what's happening now.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It had led up to that. They had done the other decades too, right? Yeah. But I will say, Seth Lee, by the end of my time there, it wasn't even that I felt like it was or wasn't. It was that a lot of people would come in Yeah. Like hosts and famous people and stuff and be like, you guys have a great moment happening here. Like they would say it to us out loud. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Honestly, it might have been a conversation. Like, yo, bro.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Like I've watched the show my whole life and it feels like it's really having like a cool moment right now.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And you're always new. All right. Next question.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I like that you went from a guy being blown away that they did a documentary about the 2000s right after they finished one. And then he's like... You're like a guy being like, do you know they have a whole encyclopedia, like a whole book about stuff starting with D? And you're like, yeah, but they did. There's ones before it. All right, the next question.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Hey, Andy, Yorma, Akiva, and Seth. I got to tell you guys, I love the podcast. Me and my girlfriend, we watch it every week on YouTube because when you refer to something, we get the visual too of whatever sketch or even the digital short of that week. And we also do the homework. So before we watch it on YouTube, we watch the sketch and then we jump right into the podcast and we love it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Peeing on my lawn. You know that about me. I only would have wanted that conversation if you did it as the Swedish Chef.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
That's nice. That's nice. My question for you guys is, if you could be a part of any other era of SNL history, like any other cast, which cast would you want to be a part of? All right. Thanks for the podcast, guys. Love it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Thank you. Thank you. That's a fantastic question. And I will just answer a question you didn't ask. If you could be a character played by anybody I worked with, Fred. That's correct. That was wonderful. That's a great question. What era would you guys join? I have a very specific answer.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
The original cast, just because I would want to see what that vibe was like and the fuck around nature of all of it, but really because the smaller the cast, the more exciting the show is to me.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I think that that was one of the reasons why I really liked our era because it was only 11 people for a couple of those years and I just think that people got more shine and I think it just puts more responsibility on the cast and it's more fun.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
like what was the original is it seven people in the original yeah i think it's seven people yeah it's pretty awesome i mean that's amazing i would like to have been young in the same age as adam sandler and just be friends with him i was gonna say there's that moment and it's it's loaded because it's generational right like when i was the age that i was most hitting me was there was one moment on snl where like dana carvey phil hartman jan hooks mike myers who exploded and then at the same time you've got
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Can I smirk to you for a smirk? Can I smirk to you?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Sandler, Farley, Rock, Spade, Norm. You know what I mean? Yeah, Rob Schneider. Yeah, that's amazing. All these people, Schneider, yeah, that are all having, like, huge things. And they're all in the building at the same time. I would want to be there as a fan the most. I don't know that it would have been a good time to try and get anything on the show, though.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Right. I, as a writer, and by the way, fantastic question, Mikey. Thank you. As a writer... I think I would have loved to have written for Phil Hartman just on that pure precision execution.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
No bork borks. Smirk. Smirk bork. Can I smirk to you for a bork bork? And would you be doing your arms?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It feels like every writer's best friend.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
By the way, also that one season when it was Christopher Guest and Martin Short and the loaded Billy Crystal, that season also as a fan to be like, hey, I get to be with all these huge, awesome people. That would have been cool too.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Thank you, Olivia. It's a triumph. Yeah, it's great. It's like My Fair Lady when he got her to stop talking like a dummy. Whoa! Is that the plot of My Fair Lady? I don't remember. Yeah, great. It's tough when you choose an analogy and you have just a real broad stroke of what that whole musical is about. I think he found a dummy and then there was a bat.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
You said that's your first voice note. Yoram and I can tell you, we have received so many from Andy since that Spotify thing came out of him being like, I can't fucking believe it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Can we bork for a smirk bork? Hey, yeah, yeah, we can bork, but can you put down that rolling pin, bro? Also, you're covered in flour.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
oh my god i know it's the middle of the night but most anticipated podcast the anticipation's crazy most anticipated is actually faint praise because they're not saying the podcast it's good they were saying before you could listen to it people were looking forward to it yeah they were like maybe i mean i know people listen to it because people say stuff to me when i'm out and about you know that's good well okay so seth answered the question andy how do you feel about the podcast now
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I mean, I would say 75% of the time, it's a pain in the ass. Just on a scheduling level.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah. Sure. Well, we all agree with that.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
But that being said, I do love chatting with you guys and goofing around. It's really nice.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And like I mentioned last time, like when you have the mic show Jake Tapper episode, it is affirming and makes me feel happy about the work we've done and that it's affected people at all and made people laugh, which is all we ever wanted.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
This is my only time to hang out with friends, so I love it. I feel like if Andy's New Year's resolution was to be more introspective and forgiving, I'll have to really hot start. Because the last podcast before the New Year, there was a three-minute delay due to my technical issues. And you said, I know this isn't your fault, but I fucking hate you so much right now.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Because that's 2024. I can stand by that. That's old, Andy. Different year. This is Andy 2.0. All right. We'll be back with the next one soon enough. Happy 2025, everybody. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Gentlemen, I love you. Happy 2025. I love you, buddy. We love you, Akiva.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Favorite breakfast cereal growing up? Sorry, the one you ate the most and then the one you most coveted. And then Jorm, you can answer after.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Are you good? Can I bork? Hang on, I'm going to reorganize my whole record collection, bork.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
How many words of Auld Lang Syne do you know?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And then follow up question, grape nuts. You eat those with like sugar or something on top, fruit or just raw dog that?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
That would just raw dog with milk. Yes. I don't think my parents were as healthy as you Bay Area kids were. Yeah. But it was something that was in disgust.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And grape nuts, would you wait like at least 30 seconds to let them soften up a little bit?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah. I mean, I'm not crazy. I don't got a death wish. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
You're like, I want my teeth into old age.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah. Speaking of Bay Area, I ate something called Odeos, which were pretty odious.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And what I wanted was a Captain Crunch or Lucky Charms. Those were my two that I wanted, but I could never have.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
That's what's up. All right. Respect and love.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And you guys would buy cereal in Bay's area at a place called Dave's Soup. Is this a Mr. Mops throwback, Ref? Yeah. I mean, because again, for us, it's only been like minutes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
That's right. I mean, I think as much shine as we can place on Mr. Mops. Yeah. Berkeley Institution.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah. If you need some toys and you live in the greater Bay Area, check out Mr. Mops. Zero mops for sale unless you make the right offer. The mop in Mr. Mops is like buying a Mugwai.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I like Andy. There's a story where Andy becomes just obscenely rich and the way he shows off in his hometown as he walks into Mr. Mops and is like, one mop, please. We don't have them. And you're like, oh, I believe you have one.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And as a child, I lived through a fair amount of disappointment at your lack of mops, but that ends today.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
All right. I love you guys very much. Love you, buddy.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
So wait, Jorm's been desperately trying to say what he really thinks about this.

Okay, okay. I don't need to say it anymore. But the reason that Andy's to me is slightly better is because I think that there's a thing that he goes a little lower. And so that puts him over the top to me.

I just watched When Harry Met Sally, and they have that in the movie, and I don't remember anything.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
My theory is Seth intentionally didn't do his as good as he could. Ooh, that's a great theory.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Is that true, Seth? I think I didn't want to get caught trying too hard because at my best, I think it's still only half of Sandberg. Now, I also think Sandberg has an advantage because I do think... If you 23 and me, you'd get a little Muppet in there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
For sure. And I have. And there is.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
A little Muppet. I'm like 13% Gonzo.

Listener Q&A Episode 3
Based on something Jack Antonoff said when he was on my show, Jack Antonoff, just during the interview, just started staring at Fred and talking to Fred. And the two of them were going back and forth. And Jack said, I'm sorry, when I see Fred, I have to do that because we're both basically like Muppets come to life. And he even said, I have it a little bit with Sandberg, too.

Okay, so you just heard it, and you don't remember any of the words. Yeah, nothing. Should old acquaintance be forgot? Be forgot, yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yes. Still to this day, I think, when you ask people like Bill and Lutz to do an impression of me, they pretty much go, Darn, this work! Their impression of me is me doing Swedish Chef.

In Punching People Before Eating, there's a dance that you do that is like this floppy Andy dance that I'm like, that's pretty much like Beaker or any of those fuckers.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah, that's Muppet vibes. I mean, there's a reason I always wanted to play Muppets and do Muppet sketches.

Because you didn't want to have bones growing up?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

Yeah, I'm just amongst my people. I am a fairly boneless physique.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I recently, my Sandberg, which there's many, my Sandberg-isms are legion and they find their way into a closer look a lot. I recently did in a closer look, just someone realizing they'd made a mistake and said, oh, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. And that was a real. Even afterwards, Sal Gentile, who writes them, was like, full Sandberg there. I was like, yeah, I don't know what happened.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I love knowing I have any isms to do, man. Oh, I love it, Sandberg. Oh, man. They crop up in my parenting a lot, actually. In your parenting? Yeah. You say a lot of shit that I quote just from our friendship, not from your time on TV or whatever.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And never come online. Yeah, I tap out at forgot. The problem is you have to really sing that full-throated, and then it's screeching breaks when you realize you don't know the next word.

So you say stuff to them like, you fucked me.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I fucking counted on you and you fucking fucked me. What do you mean you're doing later in the laws?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Somebody asked me a question. Seth, if you could appear in any existing short or any Lonely Island song, which would it be? I think just for a thought exercise, I would have liked to have been in a Laser Cats so that we could truly know if I don't like it.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
If I was out here saying, I actually think Laser Cats 5 is pretty good. I think that would have fucking nail in coffin right there.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah. I mean, you're in Natalie Rap. I'm in Natalie Rap. It's a very nice thing to be in. This is just a hurtful comment. What happened to Seth trying not to say it should be noted because he's doing a horrible job? Okay, thank you. Cruel. Noted. Cruel.

Hey, guess what? It's the new year and we all have our own resolutions. Yeah. Jorm, what's your new year's resolution? I already completed all of them. Done? Yep. Wow. Oh, what were they? Fucking shredded.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Your two resolutions were to get shredded and drink more? Yeah. And you've done both already?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah. Fuck. Fucking shredded and drunk. I'm drunk right now. I'm like the third. Hey, Jeff just said he received a very special voice note. So let's hear that one, Jeff. Nice.

I remember the lyrics when Bob Odenkirk goes into Old Lang Syne at the end of The Joke the Musical in Mr. Show better.

I want to know what her other top two songs are, because that's eclectic to have that in your top three. Thank you for that question. I think we're very sad that we didn't make that, right?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah, we talked about it so many times. And the label, I think we've mentioned this before, the label was down for us to make the video. I was excited about it. I can't remember exactly why we didn't. It was one of those things where it just kept getting punted, and one of us would have something else to do. I mean, look, guys.

When you're in a band, a music band with three different individuals who all have their own lives outside of the band. Or if you host a podcast, depending on the band. Things can get scheduling tricky. Things can get scheduling tricky. I stand by that phrasing. You own it? Yes.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
But I guess all we can say is we share your disappointment that it never happened because we all obviously wrote the song 100% thinking it would and wanting it to.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
All right, gentlemen, this one might be a little hard for you guys to hear, but I'm just going to read it because it's quite a story. I just think you should know that the high school I went to is in Cloverdale, which is where Hot Rod was filmed and is right beside the pool Rod jumps over in the movie.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Our grade 10 gym teacher used to take us on walks at least once a week to a bunch of different filming locations around town. The ice rink Dave works at, the convenience store, the lot where Rod jumps over the buses, and then would explain what scenes took place at the location. Except no one had seen Hot Rod except me, so everyone was super bored.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Then eventually, someone snitched on the teacher because in their words, they would rather run for an hour than listen to a synopsis about some random movie. So we had to go back to playing volleyball. Now the new generation will never know about the rich film history of Cloverdale. Tragic. That was from Lauren. Oh, my God. That's fantastic.

He's the hated milk machine. Right. That's right. That's right.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Thanks for that. Shout out, Cloverdale. People still say shout out. It was wonderful shooting there. We loved our time up there. We loved our time in Vancouver. That is so fucking fun.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
That is great. That's like a reason to make a movie. It doesn't need to be successful just for that story.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It's so funny to think that's an interesting thing for kids who haven't seen a movie to hear. And over here. Not to tell them about a scene, but to bring them to the physical location and tell them about the scene.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I will say, though, I get the excitement of places near where you are being and stuff. Yeah, it was a very small town.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I, again, I've been in show business for a quarter century. I was watching an old documentary, The War Room, about the 1992 presidential campaign. And one of the opening shots takes place in Manchester, New Hampshire, where I went to high school. And I swear to God, I was like, oh! Yeah, exactly. It's so funny.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

Dude, the pool in Mrs. Doubtfire is at the Claremont Hotel, which is in Berkeley where we grew up. And every time I'm just like, I can't believe this is Claremont.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
This is just some granular stuff. I know a lot can happen in a live show. Is there a medic on standby in case someone gets hurt? Maybe someone gets fake vomit in the eye and needs medical attention. Does Essendale have its own doctor waiting in the wings? Or is there a doctor or team for the whole building in case something happens? There is 100% a nurse on staff on standby in the hall.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
That's right. Teresa. Teresa. Teresa is the OG nurse, and she is amazing.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
She's amazing. She's an amazing person. And then there is like a whole hospital wing. I don't know what you would call it. There's offices that are on the seventh floor, I believe. And I remember the most comical moment to me was when I, once almost collapsing, went to go see the doctor on that same floor. And she was like, just come in here and sleep for a second. You're just exhausted.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And I went to a dark room and just slept for an hour.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
I think maybe you've lost the thread on hilarious, the word hilarious. Yeah.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
You know what? It was a great time. I don't regret anything.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
In terms of an emergency doctor though, I'm sure there is. However, I have one story. I think I've told this before. I was doing a sketch live. I don't remember what it was, but I was Nick Cage. At one point, I freak out and go, the bees, the bees from Wicker Man and jump through a window. It was a dress rehearsal, I think. and I hit my eyebrow on the like, where it's supposed to be, you know.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Scoring, the scoring. Yeah. So I jumped through the window and like the spot where it's been scored is not weak enough. So my face smashed through it and I hit the crash pad on the floor and just immediately started pouring blood out of my face. And Donna, who works in costumes, but is the costumer for the host usually,
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Happy New Year! Happy New Year's, guys! Yeah!
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
somehow lifted me up by my like lapels and did like the little, um, suture things, salt or whatever. Yeah. Or like the little stick them like glue or whatever. And like patched me. I was in the next sketch.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Wow. She's like a corner man at a boxing match.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It was literally like in a boxing match and then I was changed and into the next thing. Maybe it was when I hosted if it was Donna. I don't understand how it happened.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
That glue is actually very similar to crazy glue because it happened to my son and they were like, yeah, it's basically crazy glue that was like sort of invented for that, for like suture. Yeah. So they should just glued you up.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It was so dope. I was very impressed. That's incredible. Impressive.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
You know, I famously anti people jumping out of windows and sketches. Yeah, but you're wrong. And we're pretty pro. Go on. Makes me very angry. We just talked about that like it was fine. The other thing I'll say about scoring, scoring is so funny because, and again, the prop people at SNL, best in the world. And Horatio once wrote a sketch at the table. It was so funny.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And then one of my favorite moments in all of comedy history, it turns into, where do I go now?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It was a guy selling guitars on QVC. And while he played the guitars, they would just snap in half. And so he had gone and bought toy guitars that are poorly made. And so he could actually snap them at the table. His name was Guillermo. And it was so laugh out loud funny because he would play a few notes and then just crack in his hands. And it was a very funny thing to think of a QVC guy having
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And then it went to Dress. And the prop guys now had to make realistic looking guitars and just score the shit out of them so that Horatio could break them. But they were so much harder to break than the ones he'd done at the table.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
And Dress went so badly, but we were crying laughing because while Horatio was playing, you could see his muscles just dancing with all his might because he knew he had to break this guitar. And a failure as a piece of audience sketch went, but very memorable to this day.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Yeah. Two things about that person's voice. One, very soothing. Yeah. Two, when it started, I was like, is this Lutz when he was a kid?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
It sounded like Lutz as a kid, which I like. Yeah. Yeah. They don't. They don't. They just throw you in. Right, Seth? They throw you in. Yeah. They just throw you in, and that's the deal. And you're either like, I'll say it, ready, or you're not ready for primetime, or you are not.
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
The milk machine, where do I go now?
The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
Listener Q&A Episode 3
Oh, boy. I knew it was going to be about primetime. I just didn't know how you were going to phrase it.
