Hey, quick heads up to anyone in Quaid Army who enjoys stand-up comedy. I'm going to be at Paramount Theater in Denver on May 8th. I'm going to be at the Route 66 Casino Hotel in Albuquerque on May 9th. I'm going to be with my good friend Brooks Whelan, who, let's be honest, if you listen to the pod, you can tell Andy is growing a little bit jealous of. It's a very fun time. We'd love to see you. And now back to the pod or the ads. I don't know where they're going to put this.
Unknown 0:28
Say, hey, it's the Quaid Army.
Seth Meyers 0:38
Hey, everybody.

What funny story involves Jorm and Catholic high school girls?

Seth Meyers 0:39
Welcome to the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast. Today, it's just Seth and Yorm. Woo! More of me. This is a hat trick for us this week, Yorm. Yeah. I did a Q&A with you in New York City for your fantastic film. It was a delight. It was so fun. Then you were on Late Night on, wait, Thursday night? Yeah, I brought you a burrito. You brought a burrito out. We opened with a lot of burrito brain references that went well over 90% of my audience's head. 10% was super excited. Maybe less. So we opened with a lot of burrito brain stuff. I also, in the intro, I don't know if you noticed, I said, you know him from the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast, which some people... thought that was me trying to grab a little bit more credit for your work than maybe I deserved.
Seth Meyers 1:28
Oh, no, I loved it.
Jorma Taccone 1:29
I loved it. I did like that after I gave you the burrito, though, when we were talking on the off minutes, you were like, what kind of burrito is this? I was like, this is a pretty bad basic, basic, basic peanut cheese. And then you just rejected it outright.
Seth Meyers 1:43
Well, I took a bite of it during our interview and you recoiled.
Jorma Taccone 1:46
Yeah, yeah. It's a little old.
Seth Meyers 1:48
Because you said you'd bought it like hours and hours and hours ago.
Jorma Taccone 1:51
Well, it's from Buddy's Burritos in Brooklyn.
Seth Meyers 1:53
Well, there you go. You probably aren't familiar, not being in the late night world, with the weekly New York Magazine's Vulture does Who Won Late Night This Week. Did you know this was even a thing? I mean, I did, but I haven't thought about it like the way you do. Just like that's why I wait for it every week, like the way you wait for a Broadway review? Sure. Probably you don't think about it the same way.

How did Seth's train experience lead to a humorous interaction?

Seth Meyers 2:14
Sardi's. It's your Sardi's. Our friend, Bethy Squires, who writes it every week. We did not win late night, Joran, but we did finish in the number two spot.
Jorma Taccone 2:21
Okay.
Seth Meyers 2:22
That's good.
Jorma Taccone 2:23
Is that good?
Seth Meyers 2:24
Is number two okay? Is that good?
Unknown 2:25
Yeah.
Jorma Taccone 2:26
It's exceptionally good. Oh, sweet. But how many late nights are there? Like, what are you competing against? Is it like eight?
Seth Meyers 2:31
Well, don't make it, don't remind everybody how thin a field we're up against. I mean, it's Kimmel, it's Colbert, it's Daily Show, it's Fallon, it's Andy Cohen. Andy Cohen won this week. But I just want to say, because the last pod with you and Akiva started with a lot of shade thrown at Andy and I for the fact that we're... Pretty boys. Yeah, we're just like, I don't know, you made us seem like elitists, coastal elites.
Jorma Taccone 2:57
Yeah, you're coastal elites.
Seth Meyers 2:59
You said, I did like that you caught yourself. You said that you guys are the guys, you represent flyover country, even though you would never call it that.
Jorma Taccone 3:08
No, you wouldn't. I couldn't even think of what was the middle of the country when I was talking about being corn-fed.
Seth Meyers 3:16
Yeah, it's sad. But I will just say that it was the write-up of your appearance. The two sweetest sweetie pies of the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast. So just know from where NY Mag is sitting, you and I are the ones who are, you know, keeping it real, while the other two are the ones that are, you know,
Jorma Taccone 3:34
Well, get ready for an extra sweet episode. Here it comes, guys.
Seth Meyers 3:40
Here it comes. It was so much fun to have you on. It was so much fun to be in a movie theater with people who just saw your fantastic movie. You know, again, obviously you and Keith talked about it at length last week, but I haven't had a chance on the pod after I've seen it to talk about how much I loved it and how great it is.

What insights are shared about the importance of comedy?

Seth Meyers 3:57
and how I hope everybody will continue to give it a clump.
Jorma Taccone 4:00
Please clump it up, because honestly, I've been shilling so hard for it, but it's because I'm like, this opening weekend matters so much.
