It's the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast. You know what? I'm going to start today. I'm going to really do you dirty, Andy. Okay. Jack Black, take it away. Spelling bee. Spelling bee. Woo! And what's the answer? That is a fire theme. It's a fire theme, but don't get distracted because what we need now is to know how it went today. I fucking needed one hint. Yeah. What a fucking loser. Ask me what word, Keith. Turn in your Mensa card, dumbass. Okay. What was the word? What was that? Fru-fru, man. Fru-fru? How do you spell fru-fru? Really, he just missed one word twice because it's F-R-O-U, F-R-O-U. In a way, I feel like you're a classier guy for not knowing that. That's English? That's not French? I mean, we say it. I've gotten it before, let's say that. You would have gotten it on the spelling bay. You just didn't. Do they allow words that have become, you know, American English but are actually other languages' words? I mean, again, the long promise probably never going to happen pod with Sam Mazursky. We're going to come at him hard for this. We're going to get him hard. That, a taint, what happened to a taint? A lot of words. I'm keeping a list now, if Andy, of words that used to be accepted that aren't. A taint is a word? A taint? It was for a while, two T's. It's not what you think. Yeah. No, obviously. Wait, hold on. You think that Sam Mazursky approves every single word on the spelling bay every day? It's his B. He's the only name on the B. They could say, like, from a team of people. Yhorm, in that world, he's a god. Okay. In this world. He's like the Will Shorts of the spelling bee. He's the Thanos of the spelling bee, Yhorm. You don't think he uses a generator? He snaps his finger, words disappear. Lexicon. Can I really ask, is a taint, like, if you tainted something, like you stuck your finger in the pie, you tainted the pie, is that the version of it? You think you're using it, like, I tainted that pie with my thumb? Yeah. That's my question. These guys don't know. They don't even know what words mean. They just type in the letters. No, the thing we really need to stress, Keev, is we don't care about what the words mean or how to use them in sentences. Okay. We just, we're just trying to fill out the B. How excited were you guys, just if we're doing, like, Morning Zoo crew anyways, how excited were you guys that 6-7 was chosen as dictionary.com's word of the year? That seems crazy to me. Even though it's just two numbers. Yeah, it's not a word. That seems like clickbait put for word of the year. Yeah. Here's another word that used to work, guys, and don't ask me what it means. Tontine. Oh, that sounds French, too. T-O-N-T-I-N-E used to work, and then at some point. Isn't that when you have a ton of creatine? They don't accept that anymore? I mean, I wrote used to work next to it on my notes. I used to do a ton of creatine. This absolutely rocks. Seth, to circle back, you're kind of my spelling bae. Thanks, bud. Also, a taint is effect or infect with disease or corruption. That's the second definition on the internet. That's right, then. So you tainted that pie with your thumb is correct. That's right. I corrupted a lot of time on this hypothetical pie. Well, I know someone else who did something to a pie with not their thumb. Are we talking about American Pie, the movie? Great movie. Yes, brother. Do you remember that? Can you imagine? If the mom came in and was like, who tainted my apple pie? Okay, imagine this. You're in high school. You're like, what does it feel like? You're like, look, I want to taint something, but I don't know what to taint. I went to see a movie in whatever, late 90s. When did that movie come out, American Pie? 97? That's a good guess. All right. So I went to see American Pie with my good friend. Oh, no, I didn't. I went to see a movie with my good friend, Peter Gross. The trailer for American Pie murdered harder than any trailer I think I've ever seen. Yeah. Because I think pretty much the pie fucking was in the trailer. Yeah, it crushed. Crushed. The next trailer, because we were like at an independent. 1999. Yeah, I thought it was 99. I'm not even joking. All right, so 99. But we were at like an independent movie theater in Chicago, like the Music Box or something, or Piper's Alley. And then the next trailer was like a coming of age, I want to say like gay film about two young men. And it was like very serious and playing very somber. And my friend Pete Gross screamed, more pie fucking. Oh. Huge laugh. Yeah. So he was already piggybacking it off the trailer. The trailer, because it was just, it was very unfair for the second sort of serious movie, which had like real like Wuthering Heights vibes to have to follow the American Pie. American Pie trailer. Yeah. You know what? America agreed with him. Yeah. Emma Stone was on the show tonight. Okay. While we're talking. They say hi to her in the past for us. What do you think I brought up to her and showed an art card of? Can we say that Seth's name dropping when his whole career is like meeting people every day? No, it's not name dropping. It's just my life. It's just your life. It's his job. All right, fine. Yeah, it's my job. But for all of us, though, He didn't go out of his way to bring it up. And it's pertinent to the cast because he's going to say that he brought up I Broke My Arm, her digital short. Or Wish It Would Rain. Come on. I brought up I Broke My Arm. Wish It Was Rain. It was the assistant with the giant butt. I caught myself as I was saying. Yeah. Let somebody else bring up I Broke My Arm. It could have been Turn Up The Beef, Andy. Yeah, it could have been Turn Up The Beef. Okay, so Seth, how'd it go when you brought it up? It went great. She basically explained how talk shows worked because she goes, it was so funny because I talked to a producer first and literally the first thing the producer said was, Seth will probably want to talk about I Wish It Would Rain. The thing no one knows about. And there's nothing you can do to stop it. And by the way, nobody loves SNL more than Emma Stone. Nobody loves digital shorts more than Emma Stone. She definitely was like, I think I've only watched it that night. Yeah, if that. Yeah, if that. She was probably doing a costume change when it was playing. We should send her the dress version, the long one. I mean, I can't wait. I mean, we're going to probably do two episodes on I Wish It Would Rain. I mean, here's what's fair. We shouldn't talk about this now, but she was only on set for like, I don't know, 20 minutes, maybe. Well, that's what I said I stressed to her. I'm like, I'm not busting on it because you're in it. Like, you had very little to do with it. And then I showed the picture and she said it was the only time people didn't edit out her real butt. That's actually the real one. She's like, that's my real butt. And they always like, take it out in digital effects. But they finally. Yeah, that's why I was so, that's why we were so quick to shoot because we were just like, oh, this is perfect. No notes. In and out 20 minutes. Usually there's an extra hour built on for butt removal. Yeah. For butt addition. That's right. So such good vibes Emma Stone. Andy took me shopping this morning, probably right when you were talking to Emma Stone on national TV. We went to a clothing store. I think you make good vibes right now because I feel like there's great vibes. Oh, it's great vibes right now. I mean, maybe it's probably like, you know, we've cut a tail of Emma Stone vibes, but now he took you shopping. Does that mean he picks you up, Keev? I drove. Okay. And we went to breakfast. That was the actual destination. Yeah. You remember when Julia Roberts picked up Richard Gere in Pretty Woman so he could take her shopping? I didn't know how to drive stick. And so I was like, Andy, you got to get in here. I was grinding the gears. So you like, cha-cunch, cha-cunch, cha-cunch, up to his house. What is this technology? Andy, was breakfast sort of just like a ruse to then say like, hey, should we get some clothes? Yeah, he just picked a place next to that. Look at that red dress. I'm going to straight up brag. We went to the soft opening of Phil Rosenthal and Nancy Silverton's new diner in LA. Oh, wow. Yeah. It opens in a couple weeks, but this was a friends and family morning. Yeah. What is Phil's Netflix show fee Somebody feed Phil. Somebody feed Phil. Somebody feed Phil. So I would imagine a diner of his is a really good situation. It was fantastic. They've been threatening to open it for a few years and it's been on our calendar of like, oh, that's going to be so good. Well, and then that chef is a very famous chef who has that restaurant, Mozza. So if you just pictured this most standard diner menu where every diner item is just done perfectly. And we're not just saying that because they gave us a free bottle of their signature hot sauce, Seth. I'm not for fucking sale. These taste buds are not for sale. Yeah. It would take a fair amount more than one bottle of hot sauce, perhaps a case. Yeah. Or even like two. Or just another reservation in the next couple weeks. But next door, there's a store that's my exact style where everything inside I would wear. Keith was literally like, this is my real life Dan Flashes. It's true. And did you know, did you have any expectation about that this store was going to be pro-Keith? I knew it was there. And when we parked, I was like, oh, we're in front of a store. When we're done eating, we're going in there. Wait, before you get to what your style is, can we guess what your style is? Because is it all Rocky-related shirts and like, That's fair. And friends and friends-related sweatshirts? I did at some point years ago discover the merch store on Sylvester Stallone's website and it became 50% of my entire closet within weeks. Those were good days. I had bought like six shirts, five tank tops, just had, all kinds of stuff from just. It was a fun one for us because I so wanted to get on board and encourage you, but like, I was always slightly bummed out by it. Yeah. Can I say something that's really fun about knowing you guys? Like, when Jorm said Rocky shirts, I sometimes think Rocky might be like Bay Area slang that I missed and I'm like, oh, I wonder what Rocky shirts mean. And I love when it's just literally. It's the way you think. It was Rambo and Rocky stuff. And when I said friends, the show Friends. He's got deep cuts like you'd have just a tank top with a drawing of a tiger on it that you wouldn't know, but it's from Rocky 2 and it's what's embroidered on the back of his jacket. Gotcha. And then there were some that just said Rocky. Right. One said Rambo as if I had been on the crew of the second to last Rambo that was like in Burma or whatever. I just want to reiterate, Keefe paid full price. He's not on the take here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When he went on the website. Exactly. I just went to the merch store and put it on, put in my credit card. This wasn't like buy six Rocky shirts, get a free bottle of hot sauce. situation if we're doing unsolicited plugs. I think people need to know. Also, I bought everything today at the clothing store that I bought. Andy sat there like we were in a clothing montage. He sat in the little chair. It's a very small store. So now Pretty Woman has doubled up. Your second Pretty Woman moment of the day. Exactly. And then I would come out wearing a new button-up shirt and go, and he'd go, that's good. Yeah, that's good. Buy that. And Keeve, what did I say when you came out in those pants? Not the good ones. Yeah, I don't remember your exact wording, but you told the truth. I said, no, you can see too much. Was there a Jason Alexander type working at the store who was a little snooty? Maybe thought Keeve didn't have the scratch to pay for all the clothes? Jason Alexander's the friend. He's not the snooty. Oh, you're right. He's the friend that propositions are later. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's being generous saying propositions. He's like the co-worker. He's a little gresso. Yeah. He's the one who just gets misunderstood. Right. Okay. Seth, no! No, I'm just saying. It was a different time. Seth, it's not that kind of podcast. No, no. Hector Alonzo. Now, Kevin's typing in with Hector Alonzo. Yeah, he wouldn't be rude. No, he's not. He's the guy that works at the hotel who is like the- Incapable of being rude. Yeah, he's like the- Congratulations, Kevin. You've humiliated yourself, dude. He's the concierge who always has a soft spot for her and actually like pull strings to make her help her fit in. And he's like the fairy godmother of the thing. What this is now, this isn't like a rewatch podcast by Pretty Woman. It's a podcast about people who need to rewatch Pretty Woman. Yeah, that's right. That would be a dream. Gary Marshall's classic. Gary Marshall. Can I just quickly ask a question? Yes. Yoram, how's that pelvis? I have nerve pain all down my left side that I haven't had for a little while, so that gets me a little nervous, Andy. But besides that- Is that good news? Like the feeling nerve pain means they're coming back? I think so, but I had this like very like, my feet are in lava kind of feeling for like a week, a couple weeks back. That's gone away, and now it's back again, Seth. So it's a little hard for me to say that that's good. But every time I somehow describe pain to a doctor, they're like, right on. Yes, that's great. I'm like, okay, well, not great for me, but- Is it Dr. Spaceman from 30 Rock? It's better than numbness, which I guess is the alternative. Yeah. Wait, Keith, what is your style now, though? I want to go back to what your style- Is it similar? Is it Dr. Kevorkian? No, Andy did say what it was. I came out in three different things. He liked them all, and then he went, here's what your style is. And then he said, and it works because it's true. Do you remember what you said? Yeah, what is it? What did I say? You said like a middle-aged man who used to skate. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you're a grown man who used to skate and is still pretty cool. By the way, if you watch any Epically Later, Advice Magazine's Epically Later, every single dude dresses exactly like that because they're all like skaters and they're pretty cool. There you go. Where's this door? I got to go. It sounds great. Oh, we're not doing free plugs. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm gatekeeping this one. I don't want a bunch of people coming in there. Just got to find that diner. Let's just say it's very close to Phil Rosenthal's new diner, which we love. Okay, great. Yeah. That one's easily Google-able. Listen, if I thought they'd give me free stuff, I would. Wait, can I say something real quick? Yeah, go ahead. I shared the photo with you guys, but I had, I mean, again, I think we all like sharing our stories about getting the Quaid Army. I was at a fantastic event. It's to support the Headstrong Project, which is an incredible organization that provides mental health services to our nation's vets. How much are they paying you to plug that, Seth? Two hot sauce. No, it sounds wonderful. One Cholula, one Sriracha. Not good stuff. It sounds wonderful. I'm sorry I interrupted to do a joke. But then a gentleman walks over to me, full dress, full military dress, and walks over. And it's the dream to have a Quaid Army. To have a guy from the actual military say, Quaid Army. And then to be able to say to him, righteous kill. Mm-hmm. I believe if your allegiance is to an army above the United States, that's considered treason. But you know what? It's approvable treason on this pod. So I believe Teddy, that is his name, who's currently also a New York City fireman. I'm just going to give a shout out to Teddy. Oh, this guy's a hero. Teddy, bless your heart. That's the fucking greatest. Many layers over. And again, we have blown up his spot. He is serving two masters by being in both the U.S. and Quaid Army. Sorry if we get you in trouble. Now he's going to get court-martialed for treason now. Hopefully there's not a conflict of interest. Hopefully our goals stay aligned. Yes, that is not a tribunal that we will be appearing at on your behalf. You would have taken this path on your own, Teddy. Anyway, I met him and his wife. They were awesome. Anyway. I mean, I'm sure you've maybe combed through the comments of last week, Seth, already. And I might be. Are you stealing this one from something you have planned later? I haven't, actually, so go nuts. Well, there was one specific one, but there were many good ones. But there's one really specific one that I thought, and it applies to me. It says, first Seth's corner, then we got Yorm's thorns, and now we have Keeve's peeves. Oh, wow. And I thought that was pretty good. That's pretty accurate. Keeve's peeves. Keeve's peeves. This is the part of the show where Keeve complains. Keeve's peeves. Jump in the line willy-nilly. I feel like Andy should definitely sing that song. Yeah, yeah. Whatever you got something to complain about. Keeve's peeves. If only he hadn't said them out loud, I could sleep at night. Again, I apologize for that. Do you? I also, just to let everybody know that the Keeve's peeves were deep-seated. He went after Chrysal. We know he loves Chrysal. Yeah. And then we reached out to see if Chrysal wanted to send a voice note in. And Andy wrote, this is on the text chain, Did he listen to last week's So He Knows How to Clap Back? Hashtag clap back. And then Keeve wrote, or take the L. Keeve's just still. Yeah, he won't back off it. Did he write back? He's such a little snake. He sent in a voice note. Do we want to start there? Oh, yes, please. Let's start there. Hi, this is Jonathan Chrysal, the director of the SNL digital short called Sergio. It's called The Curse. It got back to me that, I guess, Akiva Schaefer was saying that. There was some 180 line breakage, which I'm sure he explained thoroughly. He didn't listen? Yeah, I don't know if he's familiar with some of the filmmakers like Director Bong, Paul Greengrass. I'd love to show the Parasite line break. It's so meticulous. I know the exact one he's talking about. Don't talk over him. Countless others. Sometimes it's an artistic choice. Artistry is part of the filmmaking process. And it's not always a quote-unquote mistake. Sometimes filmmakers know the rules to break them. And in this instance, I think it was done more for the emotional reason. When these people see Jon Hamm, Sergio, breaking through the wall. Easiest lie. With a saxophone, their world is turned 180, as they say. So they're completely thrown off. The audience should feel thrown off when they look there. They're like, where is this? I feel discombobulated. As do the people in that scene. Imagine yourself sitting in a conference room, a man explodes through a wall, playing a saxophone. I guess that's normal to certain people, but to me, I wanted to capture the craziness of that. You know, and I looked up, yeah, so, you know, I want to start a beef, but. That's really good. Yeah. Thank you, Kreisel. Thank you. That was excellent. I can't, I have no, no comments, no notes on that voice note. Lovely. My only comment is that if Kreisel had been here saying that live, he would have reacted the same way to our reactions, which is to quietly ignore them and just plow ahead. Yeah, and just continue on. That's good. That's the best way to deal with us. It is the best way to deal with us. Very good. I texted Kreisel to say how wonderful it's been hearing his voice in the pod. And in one of those moments, we're like, I hope he still has the same number because it's been forever. And he did. And it is the best. What's his number? Say it out loud. I don't want to tell you guys. All right. All right. So were there any of the comments? Did you see anything else, Keev, worth talking about? I mean, I just wonder how the Quades felt about Akiva's coming in so hot, you know? Yeah. Did you find some good ones, Andy? I mean, there was lots of them, but I didn't collect them because you've been doing such a good job of collecting stuff. I will say it's tough. Well, I have one thing that I do want to say just because this sort of piggybacks onto Seth's. I just wanted to say that I got a one. Wonderful letter and note from a woman that we all met and her daughter years ago. In 2003, we did a Make-A-Wish Zoom with a girl named Olivia. You mean 2023, I think. Oh, sorry. What did I say? 2003. Oh, yeah. Definitely not 2003. And I. Keev Peeves! I've got an unbelievably sweet note from Olivia, who she's had a degenerative, a disease for a while, and she's gone through so many different things in her life. And she has an organization with her mom called I Can, I Will that benefits the Seattle Children's Hospital. And I have Zoomed with them again for like an hour the other day, and they're just the sweetest people. And I wanted to give a shout out to that particular organization. Nice. Because they just raised $100,000 for this fun run that they did. That's wonderful. That is awesome. That's awesome. I remember that Zoom well, and she was very sweet, and she had really funny questions that she had, I think, worked on with her dad. She's a really funny person. I love you. That was terrible. Good. Yoram, I want you to know how badly I wanted to call you out on name-dropping, but I didn't. With Olivia? Yeah. Name-dropping Olivia. The coolest kid. Yeah. You can call me up. Shout out to Olivia and her great organization. It does chap me a little bit that the first time I mention a charity I'm involved with. Right. That's fair. Your arm has to immediately pile on. That's fair. Like, clap back. Yeah. It was just like, I kind of thought this would be, like, my GoFundMe episode. Well, I donated to the organization and you can, too. We'll provide a link and maybe Seth can do that, too, but I don't know if he is even that involved in the organization that he was playing in. No, I think Headstrong gets the no to go straight to hell. Here's a comment I like. It's on YouTube. It's from A to Z Farm. I would like Jorma to know that my dogs occasionally take gabapentin, but also I used to have a miniature horse that took 1,600 milligrams of gabapentin per dose. He never fell off a ladder, but he did occasionally climb stairs that became problematic because he couldn't easily get back down. There you go. Okay, first of all, the doctors told me that I maxed it out and there was no more to take after that, but I guess you can just take as much as you want, right? Well, if you're a horse. And second of all? And second of all? Oh, that's it. And second of all? Second of all, I'm jealous of that horse. Great. As a reminder that I think it's really important for everybody to listen to every episode, this was a comment, Keeve, based on an ad read, something I said in the ad read about a good friend of Viore. Somebody wrote, wear the clothes that Keeve's wife Liz wears when she plays tennis. What does that mean? Oh, that was a quote from you. That's what you said on the Viore read. Yeah, wear the clothes that Keeve's wife wears. Yeah, you gotta listen to everything, even the ads where you're gonna get left behind. This is an interesting note. Please bring back the original pre-recorded Seth's Corner theme song. It's painful listening to your ad. No, that's fair. I agree with that one. Oh, no, me and Andy keep requesting, because he ad-libs it and they used to replace it with the pre-record, and then we were like, no, he makes it up every week. Yeah, you know what? Hey, can you do one for me? I have a little, I have a weird little corner of Seth's Corner that I'd love to talk about real quick. Okay, so we'll fuck that person and just let it go. This is a big no. Seth's Corner, this is the part of the show where Seth talks about what he did that week. We thank girl Seth. Hey, you know, Polar hosted SNL, and I wrote a sketch and submitted it to the table. And I heard I didn't embarrass myself. Obviously, I didn't make the show. But I did want to share that I wrote a sketch where she played a doll, a haunted doll at an inn, and every time the innkeeper left, she asked the person who was staying in the room if they knew what the Wi-Fi was. She's like an Annabelle. Yeah, she was an Annabelle. I think her name was Beth Annabelle. I named Beth Annalee. Beth Annalee. She's stuck in a hotel. She needs to get on that Wi-Fi. She needs the Wi-Fi. That's an evergreen sketch. Yeah. It's one, you know what it is? A classic gets a laugh at pitch and actually is unsustainable as a sketch. This person's said Keeve really tapped into his inner Simon for this voice note. Oh, they think you're Simon. Yeah, it's so weird because we're three Alvins. Yeah, I mean. And then, um. The three Alvins. So before The Lonely Island, you guys were going to be called the three Alvins? Yeah. Were we? Just three Alvins. Three leaders. The three Alvins. It's tough to know who's Alvin because Yorm's character on the pod really has been coming up the ranks. Yeah. I mean, according to the fans, look, I can't control what people like. He said, he's rising up the ranks. Forget about the part where he says his character. The ranks are just us four. Yeah. So, would you say you fell a Theodore but landed an Alvin? Oh, no. I was never Theodore. Seth, Seth, Seth, you don't get it. We've always been Alvins. We're just different kinds of Alvins. It's different ways to be irritating. This one says, I love how their response to Keeve complains is, quote, shut up, nerd. Keeve, did people agree with you, though, or did they, when they hit us in the titus, or did they think you were being a jerk? I would say most of them that responded about me at all were positive. Like, agreeing with me, but not at the cost of the short. They were just either saying, like, oh, that was so interesting. Some were even giving, saying, I was a little disoriented, and now I know why. Some were saying, it didn't bump me, but I do see what he's saying. There was one guy that I saw that actually said I, that he didn't mind the jump in the lines, but as somebody who has photographed, he did agree that the whole thing looked like it was raw footage, and he knows the look. And you expect me to believe that? Well, there's receipts. They're pretty easy to find. Someone did write, the number of dads on this podcast who think babies are born covered in placenta was alarming. I just didn't, I noticed that on my listen. We just were saying words. I didn't want to be rude. To our guests. We didn't clean it up because we were, because we were moving forward. We know. Oh, was that, was that our guest? That's, I mean, I remember hearing it when I was listening, and he's the only one that's not a dad, so. Although, by the way, he fucking jumped down my throat because I said impeachably instead of unimpeachably. Yeah, right. Everybody's real proud of old John Hamper, grammar policing. Let him know about amniotic fluid. Well, don't, don't you say that like that it's after birth, and technically placenta is a kind of after birth. Yeah, but they're covered in amniotic fluid. If they're covered in the placenta, then something went wrong, I would assume. No, what you want to do is snag that placenta and make it into the capsules. Yeah, yeah. To help with postpartum. What are we even doing? That's what your legs need. Four gabapentin, one placenta pill. The amount of people who have told me that I should fly to, like, Columbia or to Tijuana and get stem cells is alarming. Like, it's always, like, super jacked friends of mine who are like, you know what you should do? And I'm like, I'm not, I'm not flying to Columbia. Who are you hanging out with? I know, it's so funny. That's immediately what I wanted to know. MMA fighters. MMA fighters that are super jacked and tell you. Yeah, it's Keith Jardine that said that. Oh, and then he stood up and walked away. Did he actually fall off a ladder? He just stood up. He really did just fully stand up and walk away. Dude, Eric Andre might be onto something. His wheelchair is there. He's gone. He got up fast. He forgot the comms. He got up fast. He totally forgot the grift and he just got up like, oh, hold on one second. He was like, hold on, my food's here. Yeah. And he just, like, jumped up. He was like, what the fuck? This is some dirty, rotten, scoundrel shit happening. Fully cartwheeled over to the door. All right, now he's, like, making a point to show that there's crutches. Gotta lower myself down slowly. I'm such a liar. Hey, welcome back. Did I get a name drop after I said Keith Jardine and then just dropped the headphones? Yeah, and just got up and just skipped away on two working legs. You were more taken with how quickly you jumped out of your chair with two working legs. Oh, yeah, you know what's funny is that people get really freaked out. Like, the sympathy just drops off so fast. The minute you're in a wheelchair, pop up, people are like, fuck that guy. Yeah. It's like cheating. I agree. I'm a little worried you don't realize why. No, I went from the chair to the crutches, guys, and then I came back in the chair. The chair's very comfortable. Okay, so. Oh, I have one more before we move on. Because, again, I think we're just kind of dodging moving on to these shorts. Another great ep of Yorm and the Gang. Righteous Kill. That's one of them. Right. My character. Obviously, we talked about one of the denser sketch structures that we all adore, which was Closet Organizer. Yeah. Into the bar scene that calls back Closet Organizer. Yeah. Very rare. I reached out to our friends, Will Forte and John Solomon, with the question of, like, tell us everything about the process, you know, because I was so fascinated as to what they remembered about what they came up with first, when they realized there would be a callback to it, how they felt about it. And so, here's a voice note from Will Forte. With the instruction, tell us everything you remember. Oh, dear. Is it 15 minutes? Gentlemen, I have such a huge apology to give you. You had reached out for me to send a voice memo, and I was going crazy at work, and I totally spaced. Okay. And so, the information that I was supposed to give you about the Closet Organizer from last week, I have to give you for this week's podcast. So, I apologize. But here is everything I remember about that week with the Closet Organizer. Great already. I don't really remember anything. I mean, like, you know, I remember stuff getting thrown at me. I remember sitting down on stage in this setting, a bar setting with John Hamm, and that's about it. Yeah. I remember we were Tarky Fensington, I think, and Resden Boner. Bonier? Bonier? Bonier. And I still don't know which one was which. Like, I think I'm Tarky, and John was Resden. Every time we see each other, we ask each other who was who, and I think that's what we came up with. And that's it. That's all I remember. I do kind of seem to remember that we thought it was kind of a big deal because Lauren let us do a two-parter, which didn't seem like there were a ton of two-parters back then. So, that was exciting. And the fact that they stayed in for the live show was fun for us. But that's about it. Okay, sorry again for this kind of pretty shitty voice memo coming a week late. I'll probably go to hell for this. But I really enjoyed being here with you. Love you. Wait. What are the other two-parters? Obviously, the McGirbers were reoccurring, but are there other two-parters that happened in our era? There's the one Seth wrote with Zach, right? Yeah, Daryl's house is my two-parter. Oh, right. that I have a lot of affection for. I will say it's so fun to find out that his recall of that is the same that we have for the film Pretty Woman, which none of us were in, and none of us were ever. I think I was darky. Just the casting element. Yeah, that's true. All right, you guys. So, real quick, first we have the Ashton Kutcher show has Tudor, which is a sketch that does not air, a digital short that does not air. Yeah, right. And we talked about this a little at some point in the past, right? I feel like we did. I feel bad because, you know, obviously Questlove is quite army, and it is not righteous that he has a cameo in a digital short that could not make the cut. Right. Apologies, I think, are owed. Do we want to watch it or no? Not really. There's not much. Well, we could watch it. Yeah, let's watch it. Let's watch it. Will you do the honor scheme? Before we play it, I just want to. The setup was Twitter was just coming out as a thing, and Ashton Kutcher was like the spokesman for Twitter. That was how they launched it. Yeah, he might have the most followers of anybody at that point. They gave him a huge amount of points in it, I believe, to be the spokesman. I might be misremembering that, but that was my understanding. And then he was hosting, and when Twitter was first a thing, I remember all of us being like, what? You just constantly. Like, we were basically like. The whole concept of social media, we was like, that sounds really annoying. But he obviously was great in game. And the other part of it was, we didn't have a short, and it was one of those weeks where they really told us we had to. And so this is what I came up with, and I wrote it, and Kreisel directed it, and then they cut it, and I was so pissed. And it wasn't because I loved the short so much, it was because they had forced us to make one and then cut it. And then, you know, the next day I was fine. I think you will watch it now and think this is okay that it got cut, right? Again, though, it was not about the quality of the short. It was just being forced and then having it cut. Yeah, it was. I told you! But as we've mentioned, we kind of ran out of goodwill when Chironi happened. But also, I'm going to make a guess here, vaguely remembering this, is that it's better than a lot of things that do air, like from us, not even talking about the rest of anybody else, but like the ones of ours that we're like, oh, why did that air? Because in that episode, he needed it. And this one, I remember being more solid, potentially, than some of the other things we've done that did get on TV. Well, I can't wait to watch it. Let's check it out. All right. Is it? It's not playing. For me. Is it playing at all, though? No. Is the time code moving? No. No. There it is. Maybe it's working on the singularity. Let me unshare in hand. Maybe it's working on the singularity, or. That's my joke for any technology that's not working. Sorry, working on destroying all of this. Yeah, hey, this subway door is jammed. Oh, yeah, well. Circuit's busy. Over the past year, I've gained a lot of attention for my involvement with Twitter. But recently, I started to feel like Twitter just wasn't enough. Wasn't enough. I wanted to give my followers total access. They knew what was coming out of my mind, but not what was coming out of my body. And that's why I developed the first flagellant networking system, Tudor. It's really ingenious. Every time Ashton has a gaseous emission, or gission, as we call it, then it's broadcast to his millions of followers around the world. We're then alerted with a distinctive ringtone. The process is simple. First, I attach the receiving pad to the flesh side of my undergarments. Then, I run a non-toxic wire up the middle of my seat, lodging it in place, and plugging it into my mobile device. Then, I pretty much kick back and bust some ass. I have to say, when Ashton first told me this idea, I was against it. But now, I'm still against it. It was a good. system, but it still wasn't quite capturing the essence of Ashton. And a big part of that experience is smell. Is smell. Is smell. Adding the scent burst was a challenge, but Ashton insisted. Stefan Horkings. This phase just sucked. Tudor uses micro-crystal technology to translate the entire gamut of flagellant subtlety. Whether it's SBDs, church house creepers, crunchy frogs, drifters, Jimmy Buffetts, cooked cauliflower cocktails, low-flying jets, crack rattlers, simple putt-putts, a bassa nova, pumpernickel slammies, advanced putt-putts, thunder dumplings, or ripped tongs. We wanted everyone to experience Ashton's visions in all their glorious shades. I actually didn't realize what I was signing up for initially, and I tried to unsubscribe a bunch of times, but I haven't been able to. I like that '70s show okay, but this just seemed invasive. Ashton's been eating beans again. Dude, what is that smell? Ashton Kutcher just farted. Oh, very cool. Well, I was in Led Zeppelin. I'm gonna take this. Hello? Oh! Oh! It's a toot! It's a Kutcher toot! Oh, my God, it's in my mouth! It's a gag in my mouth! So subscribe today, Tudor, because I'm that important. Ashton's at McDonald's. Well, there's a couple things I did enjoy about that. I was in Led Zeppelin, ending strong with-- Yes! Yay! Director extraordinaire, Jonathan Kreisel, has joined. Find the pod! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! I said no notes on your voice note. It was very good, Kreisel. We already listened to it. I mean, like a Stanley Kubrick backdrop. Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, he's a cinephile, and he knows his stuff. And it's M.C. Escher. Yeah. Three-dimensional. Kreisel, did you pop on in time to see Tudor? I just watched it. I was trying to find it earlier. I couldn't even find it. Well, it didn't air. It didn't air. Well, they never put it out at all? No. All right, guys. Thoughts on Tudor? Tell me everything. Don't hold back. Well, how are the eye lines, first of all, Akiv? The eye lines were perfect. I thought--I mean, that is a fully realized idea. Maybe, you know, not the best one of all time, but it is all there. And you've got the Them Crooked Vultures cameo and the Questlove cameo. It is thorough. Ashton's being a super good sport. Oh, my God. He's so scared. Akiva is so scared that you're on the pod that he's just gushing. I mean, it's disgusting. Kreisel, did you hear my voice note last week? No. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. Ha! Ha! I didn't see the phones. So dated. I know. It is genuinely like, it's like Blackberry stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Miss that QWERTY. But the technology was actually more advanced because it could do smells, which we can't do anymore. Right. I think it could. So you're saying phones have gotten worse in the world of Tudor. Yeah, they can't do air blasts or air blasts. I think everyone knows our stance on that. Wait, you guys, I have to bounce. I'm very sorry, but I'm very glad that there's now another shock jock to, yeah, exactly. I love you, Kreisel. As long as it's always four shock jocks, then the equation is the boat doesn't tip over. Yeah. The universe keeps its balance. Exactly. Exactly. As long as I'm still the most popular character. Okay. Jorm, is there anything you want to say before you go? Yes. I think Kreisel's right, whatever, just in this particular battle. I'm pro-Kreisel and anti-Akiva. I love you guys. Great. That's insane. Okay. Bye, Jorma. Bye. Guys at the chopper! Do we want to just, since we have Kreisel, do we want to jump straight to flags of the world? Well, hang on. Don't we want to talk for like 17 to 25 more minutes about Tudor? Yes. Well, the audience can't see it. That's true. I didn't even remember them crooked vultures was a thing. Did you like the social commentary? I did. I did, Andy. I liked the moment when he says, "I was in Led Zeppelin." That was funny. That was great. That was John Paul Jones saying he was in Led Zeppelin. I want to also say it does harken back to a simpler time where the criticism of Twitter was people just idly telling you what they were doing at any given moment. Yeah. They were all just farting around on a thing as opposed to- As opposed to like a cesspool for- It became. the worst people in the world. Right. So shout out. We're at Tudor right now, it'd be a little bit better than what it is. I want to just remind you, Seth, now that Kreisel has joined us, to tread lightly if you're going to make any kind of disparaging comment about incels. Right. Any politics, we want to tiptoe around. You always tell me the things. You're like, "This is not the Kreisel you worked with." That's the thing you always say to me. Yeah. Let's get to Flags of the World. Kreisel, so good to see you, buddy. Yeah. Good to see you, guys. Good to see you, too. Flags of the World, I think, has a real Kreisel stamp to it, and I mean that at the high level of compliment. Very different than anything. Yeah. It was your idea, yes? It feels like it was, but I don't really remember. I think it was, and I was like, "Ooh, I love that. Joke bag. Let's go." Joke bag. And then we just hunkered down and thought of as many as we could. Yeah. I just watched it. It's pretty good. I mean, again, it's relentlessly enjoyable to watch, because every time you watch something, there's a new thing to look at. Yeah. What inspired it? Anything? Any setup here, Kreisel? Usually before we get into one, we talk about if there was any process or anything. I'm loading it up here. I mean, to me, I'm always inspired by mundane things that should not be celebrated, and flags are unsung in the world, but they're just funny. There's a flag for a country or whatever it is. It does feel very juvenile when you think about it. It is juvenile. Hearing you give that answer makes so much sense why you ended up doing it. directing Portlandias. That was a very Fred answer. Just flags. Yeah. Just to notice something that's like, why? We're proud of them. We salute them. Yeah. And they're just weirdly different symbols for different countries. Yeah. And people do put all this, they're just some fabric and people put all the meaning on them. Oh yeah. Yeah. They mean so much. Stars and stripes. I mean, whatever. I mean, I love it. Yeah. I was going to say, you guys, I'm right up against the edge of getting offended because you know how I feel about old glory. You know how I feel about old glory. Yeah, of course. You love it. You burn it, you go to jail. I love her Akiva. Okay. All right. Should we rock it? Yeah, let's rock it. Yeah. Brit flag, Brit flag, Brett flag, Brett flag, check flag, check flag, check flag, check flag, scotch flag, Scotty flag, hottie and the naughty flag, state flag, steak flag, just stepped on a rake flag, wrist flag, ankle flag, big old double cankle flag. Okay. So we love Betty white flag was so pandering in that moment. Hottie and the naughty flag was not pandering. That was a real, I was like, Ooh, that's a little, classic one for you. One for them. Who made the beat? Do we know? I don't know. It's enjoyable. It might've been Catrice or somebody in the music department. Do you think? It's like a nice little laid back group. Do you think we went and found it? Do you, or do you think we asked like Asa or somebody? I was going to say Asa, but not positive. Dang. I liked that the cankles are like baby cankles. Yeah. We weren't like trying to go after cankles too hard. Yeah. It's like, it like toddler cankles. Also, um, you and Abby seem to be having very little direction as to what exactly you want to do. Like, I like that. It's kind of a loose, a loose dance. Sorry. Sorry. You brought in a full choreographer. It might take a lot of direction to get this exactly what you need. That's true. You got to say stop less, less. I like check flag, check flag, check flag, check flag. And the last one just being a flag. That is a check. Yeah. Light flag. Kite flag. We love Betty white flag. Mars flag. Boss flag. Skag flag. Jack flag flag. Snag flag. Shag slag flag. Mag wearing garbage bags. Yeah. I can. I also say when we talk about how we love Betty white flag was really for the moment. Ma's flag, boss flag, skag flag. Yeah. I mean, those are three people that literally nobody in the audience in that given time would have any moment to like cheer for. Strong. Disagree. Brian Bosworth, Morrissey. Yeah. Ricky Skaggs, strong, disagree, and they're still all three personal heroes. This is on the Jennifer Lopez, uh, musical guests and host episode. So it's the JLo fans and there's a lot of good night's JLo herself going so rad that you shouted out boss. No, no. Yeah. Don't you remember? And then I told you at the after party, I've been working with Bob for the last five years. Say more about that. Cause I think that's a joke. It's not a joke. I've been working with him very intimately. In what capacity? Capacity. I bet he's an actor as well as a sports legend. And, um, I do these commercials for Dr. Pepper and he plays like a sheriff, like a recurring series. And I got to know him well. And wait, wait, how do we feel about bosses? Buzz? Good. Hang. He is interesting. He has like a 30 for 30. Can I say something? Who is boss? Brian Bosworth. Yeah. Oh, it is Brian Bosworth. Yeah. From, um, mega force. Yes. Did have one. One action movie, right? No, he has a bunch. No, it's not mega force though. It's stone cold. Right. He has a 30 for 30. That is very good. Agreed. I watched it. Did you like it as much as the Bo Jackson one? I don't think I've seen the Bo Jackson one. See more proof. Everyone that we are not on the team. I would imagine they're each in one another's cause Bo Jackson, like famously ran him over once, right? Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. When you first met him, Kreutzel, was he like, Hey, I heard word you did flags of the world. He was. We talked about it. Oh, very much. Barry Boswick. That's whose name was in my brain. Uh, yeah. Barry Boswick and mega force. Yeah. That's your boss. That's my boss. Yeah. Very Boswick from spin city where I was a fucking writer's PA. That's the guy. What was your last year as a writer's PA and spin city? Probably 2003, 2004, maybe 2003, probably. Yeah. Oh, three or four. Well, at a certain point he got promoted, uh, to be on a desk at city boost it. Yeah. At Uber productions where he, where he'd answer the phone there. But that's because they produce spin city. So it was, it was all in the family. All right. Are we ready to continue at flag shag? Yeah. That's what they call it in England. Turkey, chili, whales, flags, Yahtzee flag, ROTC flag, neo-Nazi Patsy flag. Neo-Nazi Patsy flag is good. Can't do that. J-Lo and a halo made of Play-Doh flags. Stag flag, freak flag. Can I get a peak flag? A bread flag is, is a red flag on a date when he stuck his like chopstick through a piece of white bread. Yeah. That might've been the red flag. I'm glad we got that. I like that when they showed, uh, speaking to the lack of applause for the Skaggs flag and the Boz flag and the Boz flag, when we did show Jennifer Lopez on a flag, the audience did get behind it. Yeah. Did they? Yeah. They had a moment where they're like, woo. Yeah. They wooed her. Let's see. Let's see it again. For sure. J-Lo wearing day glow and a halo made of Play-Doh flags. Like four people. Counts. Clap on flag, clap on flag. Little naughty strap on flag. Red flag, black flag. Bread flag, red flag. Oh, I see. Bread flag is tied to a character who's clearly a little off. Yeah. And he's a red flag. It's a red flag. That's a red flag when he raises his bread flag. I want to see the bread flag, but I got to pause. Oh, it's you in a wig. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like I connect with the guy raising the bread flag. Yeah, there he is. He's got rainbow suspenders. He's dressed like Mork. Yeah, a crazy, like, dark hair wig. He's Mork. He's Mork. He's full Morkan. Yeah. They've got a bunch. They've got a nice vase full of tulips and some food. Mm-hmm. And it seems like they're maybe on. A date. Yeah, they're on a date. And it seems like, uh, red flag. The bread flag, for me, red flag. Exactly. I think it makes perfect sense and is good. It wasn't a chopstick. You had an actual bread flag. It's on a normal flagpole. Yeah, man. It's airtight, like Sergio. All right, let's keep going. Of the world. No, you didn't. Er, flag. Yes, I did. Flag. Er, er. Biggie flag, baggie flag. Maggie dressed in draggy flag. Ziggy flag, zaggy flag. Flaggy, flaggy, flaggy, flaggy. Flag. Of. The world. Yep, that was it. I have a lot of affection for flags of the world. 90 seconds. Yeah. 90 seconds. How many views. How many views, Seth, on YouTube? Um, what do you, what do you got there? Do you want to guess first, or do you want me to just tell you? Take a guess, Andy. 70 million. It went up 12 years ago, so that's after it aired, right? 'Cause this is, we're in 2010, so. Yeah. So it didn't get on here right away, 'cause it was still not doing YouTube. 'Cause that's when people. A lot of views were missed in that time. Yeah, a lot of views were missed, right. That's what I mean, those first three years is when all the views normally happened. That was when, like, everybody was watching. If you had Bosworth in something, people were watching it. That's right. 727,000. Oh. I would actually say that's not bad. That's more than I was expecting. Not bad for Pfizer. Especially for getting posted three years later. I remember, and I'm not, this is true, like, in New York Magazine or something, for that year, they were like, "This is one of the best SNL sketches of the year, I'm not sure." Did they really? Fantastic. It was one of those culture kind of things, and I was like, "That's right." I, again, I think it's really important to note that we're, like, we're getting, like, later-ish in the run of digital shorts. And it's very impressive to do one that doesn't feel like anyone that came before it. That's my favorite thing about it, is it's a unique little thing that hadn't, it wasn't like any of the others. Yeah. Nobody was ahead of it. Nobody, when it started, was like, "Oh, I know what this is." Like, it was really fun. Yeah. Evergreen. And really fast. It doesn't ask for more than it gives. It's so evergreen. Like, it doesn't have the band from the Tudor one, who was very topical at that moment. Right. Vultures. Them Crooked Vultures. Yeah. Right. This one's evergreen. It has the hottie and the naughtie in it. Exactly. They use it in schools, this one, to teach kids about flying. But we have it on another YouTube site that's for educational purposes. Got it. It's on an EDU. Yeah. Right. I might have been at this episode, this might be when I returned. I have this memory of, like, coming into the edit when you're working on this. Is that, is that true? It was around the time. Next week is the Zach Galifianakis one you did. And I know I was there for that at some point. But this might have been when I came back. Yes. And added, like, all the best jokes at the last second. Probably. Oh, my God. Just like, you guys were going to do it. And it was half the speed. This is your brother. You're both in the DGA. We are. That's true. That's true. All right. Well, it's, it's a delightful little morsel. - I have spoken about something right now. - Okay. - I have found on Vulture-- dump you yeah fuck podcast that was the one rule let's not talk about our relationship during podcasts here she is leaving a fucking note on the fridge um i found a head uh article on vulture which is the best sketches of the season from 2010 okay but it's a slideshow that's not loading oh so i'm gonna have to i'm gonna get i'm gonna do some hit me with the link in case just hit me with it real quick all right i'm gonna send it over yeah hit keeve in the tit less fun that was sort of it was an abbreviated version of what i normally say yeah oh andy did you tell them about tutor i was telling andy that i remember when we were filming it demi more was there oh right oh and but it's like this voice from out of the darkness because i remember it was like we're doing those talking head interviews and she was like he should do this i'm like who is that it's like oh demi more well she was pitching jokes you were saying she was pitching jokes because she was really into it we were very nervous that like is he gonna find this funny is this like too close to home because he was the king of twitter at that point and she was loving it uh the rules um jezebel member jezebel.com said it was one of the highlights of the show flags of the world yeah i missed jezebel i loved that site it was a good time there was a real optimism in the internet and by that i mean a lot of websites of people we liked who were snarky about things but funny about it yeah but funny and like good writers who then you'd want to work with later on exactly and i think you probably did uh can i run through a couple things worth noting in the ashton kutcher show yeah yes please christopher was there so this is this is pertinent a couple of uh sketches that stayed with me for a long time uh there was a solomon sublette klein sketch called burn notice game show do you remember that oh yes it's so funny it teased it up as burn notice game show and then the the only question they ask is what is bird notice right what is bird notice that really stuck with me but isn't it when they're saying it's a sunglasses commercial yeah they're trying to guess nobody knows what burn notice is and the best is because again it was a very popular show on usa it was and that's what today because the host kept being like it's the eighth most popular show on cable yeah no it's not it's it's they're giving props who can tell me literally anything about this immensely popular television show yes is it a reality show about sunglasses no is it kind of like ncis oh okay in what way i don't know um and there's a really nice moment where late in it ashton kutcher says does it take place in miami and there's a ding ding ding and sudeikis the host goes oh my god we've never heard that noise before judges and you think the judges are going to say like that's right and it cuts to three judges who also don't know anything about burn notice it's a really nice move um there's also a i mean i would say a perfect 10 to 1 which is band reunion at the wedding oh yeah fred which is fred bill dave grohl right are playing at fred's daughter's wedding and they used to be a band called crisis of conformity this got a lot of play in the questlove doc right yeah about the music stuff which was awesome awesome i mean it starts with a very dorky fred being like these guys used to be in a band with me and we want to do a song and then you don't realize until they start that it's a punk band called crisis of conformity because he sort of introduces the band and then the song is uh fist fight in the parking lot you fight you fight and it's kind of a perfect sketch because it's just like a real hardcore like unironically great punk song that was the five to one huh that was the five to one it was right at the end wow and it was a great use of dave grohl and then that was the era where i was making a t-shirt every year for the show that was like the writers party and it was do you remember it was a concert t-shirt for crisis of conformity yeah it was it was a great design it was a great design and then the back of it was the tour dates for crisis of conformity were all of our hometowns yeah yeah i remember because berkeley was on there like three times yeah i did three nights at the greek they did three nights at berkeley yeah oh that's nice seth i didn't remember that that's very thoughtful i wore that shirt for years until uh something weird happened just like started shrinking i guess because it was just getting tighter and tighter i don't know if you want to talk up to the manufacturer of it or something i think it has to do with the the manufacturer's shirt because that happened to me too oh my god well that's actually proof because it wouldn't it couldn't possibly have happened to both of us it's weird because i never washed it like it just started shrinking yeah i was like this is tighter than it was by a lot uh i have if you're ready for a comment i found it's a question that i think is a good one about last week when there's a two-part sketch like the closet organizer and bar sketch do they get submitted and read at the table as one act or do they get split up at the table read the answer is split up split up you try to kind of at the table give the uh same experience that the viewer would have at home so you definitely would have one let other sketches play and at this point was it shoemaker who would choose the rundown order of the table read uh no shoemaker's gone now so kenward so then kenward so then he would be you know actually thinking of it like putting on a live show and thinking like uh how many i don't want people to have forgotten about it and try to give it a shot at you know i don't know how many sketches later but it is a thoughtful process there's another crazy thing about the uh kutcher which i've already what's your question crescent while he's looking like that was such an anomaly to me that that recurring thing like i don't even remember that no we were talking about it earlier before you got on that they are so rare and then that one to me like there's the mcgruber kind where it was surprising the first time but they also feel self-contained this one where it was like building on a character where you would have no idea would come back and then it was in a new genre but bring you know because the first one's in an ad and the second one's in a sketch i'm sure there are examples in the 50-year history but there's very few i'd love to hit us in the titties if you know an example the other thing i want to say about the kutcher show well two things this is the fattest update which has four features andy was the kid who just woke up liam liam the teen who just woke up do you remember i texted with melanie today to verify do you remember your other name that you wanted to have for him he loves talking about this because you came in and you said i either want to do a character named liam the teen who just woke up or i want to do a or bedhead jones which he he always brings it up as if i'm some sort of buffoon and i'm like i don't know man i think bedhead jones is pretty sticky i don't think he does bring it up like you're buffoon i think he was like this is the funniest fucking thing that he had two names for it and the second name being bedhead jones is really funny um but here's in one update bedhead jones john k john bill is elliot spitzer and garth and cat five cast members came out wow that must have been like a 20 minute update those are good ones though if i remember them with no no uh coaching to remember it then those are all good ones yeah i guess that's why tutor got cut because that was so long yeah that's probably honestly we started this also cry so i was saying like part of i think what was making you guys annoyed about it getting cut is that things that we have made that are much less polished and less good than that have aired and and how it's the unfair luck of the draw of what the whole rest of the show is going to be yeah in terms of that because you're backstage watching like this one's long come on come on get it over with praying there's like 30 seconds here's here's um not to backtrack but i just have the comments open here's earlier i was looking for comments that either got my back or your back chrysal here's one team akiva here's the very next one keeve is wrong the disorientation was the point it heightens the terror of what isn't terrifying so you know it can go either way i think cinephiles know what's up and they veer chrysal yeah regular people are just like huh what's happening no i'm telling you i was watching parasite which is a masterpiece i know right and there's a scene where you're like why is this shot um it's he moves them over when she's pretending to be rich or whatever but the camera does this beautiful dolly move over the back of the other person's head yeah and then they're both facing the exact same direction exactly so it's completely bizarre but it's like so controlled that it's like you have to notice yes like sergio like sergio hey can i just uh the jennifer lopez show there was a another great 10 to 1er well there's two things one the actual last sketch in the jlo show is closet organizer again lauren sort of ran it again as a commercial parody to like fill the last two minutes where obviously the show was short oh just the videotape of yeah which is a reminder that closet organizer the first half can stand alone and you know what you don't see very often on this rundown so closet organizer as you say played at the end because clearly he needed something to fill out the show at the very last second and we weren't ready with another live sketch right it's also in the cut after dress so clearly closet organizer was used as a videotape in dress as like filler just to get between things and then it got cut so it's in the cut after dress and then it's also in the air rundown because at the last minute it got re-put in i find that interesting akiva it's on the added on air section as well you just don't see that that often agreed - A good tidbit to throw in. - And then there was also Also, I'll just say that in the J-Lo show, there was a women's curling from the ESPN Classic guys. And I'm only going to say it so we can just throw in one line from it. Okay, perfect. And we'll throw it in now. Now, why don't we meet tonight's competitors? Up first, we've got Helga Birkenstock. Now, it looks like she's inspecting her teammates' brushes. Very important thing to do. Greg, I've got to ask you, what is the purpose of those brushes? Oh, no idea. Well, I mean, if you had to take a stab in the dark. Oh, I'd probably kill someone. Oh, no, no, no. I wish I heard it. Yeah, I bet it was funny. The audience just got to hear that, but we didn't. And that's good because we've been doing the thing where we tell things and then beep them out because the audience isn't allowed to hear it. But this time, we didn't get to hear it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Quades, let us know. Was that a good clip? Was it a good clip? If only there was a way for us to hear it. Well, we'll listen later. Boy, it's so nice to see you, Kreitzel. Yeah, same to you. What do you need to plug? Uh-huh. Well, I don't want to get into that. There is something I forgot. Seth. Yeah. How did you do on Spelling Bee? I mean, I quibbled, but I quibbled with a bunch of hints and stuff, so it doesn't really matter. So you didn't quibble. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. How many hints? As a reminder, I had one. Yeah. So how many hints? Like 14. Like 14 hints? Yeah, yeah, probably. Andy quibbles clean most days. Really? That's the whole thing. He gets them all without any help. He gets Queen Bee and he doesn't use the hints. I had a crazy streak recently. It's my third longest streak where I believe I got. I got eight straight days clean. And then after that, I had one hint and then two or three more days straight. I had to quit. It's just taking over my life. No, Sam. Exactly. It's such a waste of time. Anyway, my longest streak is, I think, 17 days. I'm impressed. I'm very impressed. It's stupid and it's a time suck cry, so I completely agree with you. It's ruining my life. Yeah. It's getting in the way of my ability to connect with my kids. Yes. And my spouse. Isn't that funny, Akiva? I mean, it's funny. I mean, half the audience won't even get to hear this part because they turned off this podcast in the first 30 seconds when. Oh, we told them too early. We told them right at the top. Right, yeah. They were like, I got what I needed. Bye. Christ. So just a lot of people tune in just to find out if Andy quibbled or not. And so the moment we let that out of the bag, they're like, bloop, they're off. Yeah, got it. And we did it. We always hold it to the end to kind of tease it along. But today, he talked about it right off the bat. Oh, wait. Kev just shared something which should maybe be our new bee clip. Ready? Mm-hmm. What? Not the bee! That's when we don't quibble, Kevin? Yeah. That's for the tough ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I had to use one hint today. So yeah, not the bee. Not the bee. All right. Chrysler, thank you for hopping on, buddy. Yeah, thanks to you. Love you, Chrysler. Love you guys. Love you guys. Yeah, love you. Later. Later, Arnold. Later, Quades. Thank you.
