Chapter 1: What is the Best Look in the World about?
Hey everybody, welcome to the Lonely Island Seth Meyers podcast. And I want to start by saying with Here We Go, I reached out to Jost to get a voice note.
Here I go. Excuse me.
Here I go. And Jost basically said, I'm doing something. Can I get it to you tomorrow? And I said, yes, that is now eight days ago. I have actually written to him a couple more times being like, any chance? And radio silence. But just so you know, that is probably forthcoming at some point. We'll just run it whenever he gets it to us. Whenever it gets in.
Chapter 2: What are some memorable sketches discussed?
A couple of things I forgot to mention last week, which would have been a more opportune time to read some comments about Here I Go. Someone wrote in because obviously there was a great dog in Here I Go. Someone wrote in, was Frisbee ever in the running to be the dog? Now, obviously that listener knows the longstanding feud between you, Andy, and my Italian greyhound, Frisbee.
Yeah.
What would you have thought about Frisbee being the dog in Here I Go?
I mean, why would I ruin the video? I mean, the audience would have recoiled at seeing Frisbee. Because you don't think she's a pretty dog.
Do you think the audience would have cheered seeing Frisbee being arrested? Like, get that dog off the road? Oh.
Won't ever have to see her again, yeah. Right. Yeah, yeah. Get her off the street. Somebody mentioned that song from Big Lebowski. I just checked in to see what condition my condition was in as a sort of backing up your use of condition. Ah. Yeah, they felt as though we missed the best example of it.
I see. Yeah. Did people understand the line or were they mostly?
Yeah, more people had your back than didn't. Yeah.
They were also just probably the ones that would write in because they're like proud, like, I got it.

Chapter 3: What do listeners think about Here I Go?
I genuinely will sometimes just Google the lyrics to best look in the world and read them and laugh in my room by myself. I think what is truly special about it is it is so fast, but also so densely written with like Baroque turns of phrase. where it's basically like you're trying to read Shakespeare while you are riding on the mummy ride at Universal Studios.
Pea loaf, pale stems, your Jimmy cap is crowning like a newborn. You're given nanoseconds to process these new phrases you've never heard before moving on. Let's see, I would also say Andy's vocals are hanging on by their fingertips. which does make it funnier and I genuinely like. And this is the only new observation I had.
I guess I always thought it was like when you come home from a wedding, you take your dress pants off and then you've got your shirt, you've got your socks, that's what you're wearing. I thought that's basically what this is referencing. But then almost immediately it says put on the shirt and socks and take off your underpants, which is not what you would do.
You wouldn't walk around with no underwear with the white shirt. That's right. And that's fine. But I guess what little logic I thought I identified is absolutely not there. But I do love it.
Thank you, Klein. Wow.
I mean, it's true. Pale stems, pea loafs for penny loafers. Penny loafers, yeah. And I should note. It's good. So in the beginning, Shia walks into a locker room. Andy's getting ready. Shia is taking it back. We only see that Andy's in a white button-up. We don't see his lower half. And Shia said, I thought you said you were ready to go. And you're like, I am ready to go.
and i will say shia has that really natural acting style he says where are your pants it's such a perfect line read and then we see you're not wearing it and then you say it's the best look in the world and then we start the video it is mind-blowing how much pixelation is in this i mean that was part of the cell in our minds yeah the idea is that you're like not and not all the time it's just on certain moves it reveals itself because you're wearing a long white dress shirt
Just to rewind it a hair though, Seth, before the reveal in the locker room that I'm just wearing what I'm wearing, it already is a psychotic outfit to be in a white dress shirt alone.
Right. Without the jacket or the suit.

Chapter 4: How did the Best Look in the World come to be?
Yeah, I remember Shia was a really good sport. My overwhelming memory is that it was a lot of fun, but that, you know, it's not one for the ages, unfortunately. I hope some of this is useful. Bye.
Yeah, that's about right. I remember that night, too, being like, because we had done one with Shia that, you know, we already have talked about, Dear Sister, that clearly had an impact and feeling like, oh, man, we thought we were going to, like, hit it again with him and didn't. And I felt kind of, like, guilty.
We had also done those first Tuesday promos with him that had gone really well. I think this week was the first week of Tuesday promos, right?
Is that right?
Yeah. Or maybe it was the second week, but they were the ones that we liked. Now that's just a staple. Yeah. We've talked about them before, but I believe this was the week where we started and we really liked them because we did kind of like Andy popping into frame style, goofing off on the roof garden. Let's explore the roof garden. And it was these promos with Shia that just came back to me.
I'm pretty sure it was for this one. And so we were like, man, when this guy shows up, he's like, just one of the guys fits in right with us. We love this. I definitely felt like we let Shia down, even if he never said anything. I felt sad that we had squandered him.
He was not squandered. He was in MacGruber. And do you remember his MacGruber, Andy? You were in one of them. I was in a MacGruber? You were in a MacGruber because Shia played MacGruber's son, and it was dawning on MacGruber that Shia was gay. And one of the joyous things about MacGruber that people maybe forget is that MacGruber's a terrible person. Yes. Just genuinely a terrible person.
He's a terrible person in the movie. And one of the great tricks the movie pulls off is that you root for MacGruber, even though he tells you throughout the movie he's the worst person in the world.
That's right.

Chapter 5: What are the challenges with the song's lyrics?
No, certainly not, yeah.
You put too much in a too small a bag, and the bag burst. We all had to fucking clean it up, but it's there. And I'm telling you, do a fucking Taylor's version of this song.
This is a rope-a-dope, man.
I love it. I love Best Look in the World. You know why? Because I also feel like, you know when, I don't know, there's scholars, you're like, what are you studying? And they're like, just Finnegan's Wake. You know, like they're just like a one-text professor. Yeah. I still feel like there are things within Best Look in the World that I have not uncovered. It's dense. It's the density of it.
It's not too late for flank steak thighs to catch on. Flank steak thighs.
Liver spots. Flank steak thighs.
It's audacious.
It's audacious. Audacious?
Audacious.
