♪ It's the lonely island and set my ears podcast ♪ - Yeah, oh, we got so much to talk about. Every start recording, let's just start. - Wait, you guys, before we start, this is no shade to our lovely, amazing composer, but I did make a new theme song that I wanna play you guys right now. - Oh, let's peep to that out. - Yeah, let's hear it. We'd love to hear it. ♪ Get ready to add my own ♪ ♪ Get ready for this, set my ears ♪ ♪ And only for the moon, the bell goes, show, yeah! ♪ - That was it. - I mean, I really liked it. - I wanted the crashing to go for two fullness. (laughing) - Yeah, I blew it on that. - 'Cause I'm combination of explosions and just like twisting metal sounds. - It's very classic lonely island, dude. - Yes, it was everything I wanted it to be. I mean, classic. This has nothing to do with what I just played you guys, but I did wanna tell you guys that a regular male is just being sent to me now. And I was just given this that came for all of us, this giant pack of red bull. - Tall cans of red bull, just in case we felt like just getting crazy, but that in no way influenced what you're saying. - Oh, he's got a tall can of red bull, yeah. - So, all right, here's the thing. Yoram's drinking a tall can of red bull. This is weird because we've had three episodes of the podcast without the four of us being together. You guys did a listener episode. Then we snuck in basically a repeat. Then I did an episode with Quest and Land. We're gonna get to all of that, but it's very nice to see you guys again. And we just have a little house keeping a little bit of catching up to do. - Yeah, the holidays. - And Seth, how are you? Are you feeling sleepy? Are you feeling like, amped, you feeling drunk? - I'm a little, so actually a little, it's great. I'm a little sleepy 'cause I flew out to LA. - Yeah, 'cause my brother turned 50. And so I got a 10 p.m. flight from New York, landed at two in the morning, went to a hotel, slept, went on a long hike with Josh. Then we went to lunch. I accidentally had one and a half cocktails. So that was a huge mistake, yeah, accidents can happen. - Then took a 10 minute nap and then Josh shook me away 'cause it was time for this. So, great. - And maybe fight a little bit of a cold and also getting on a red eye tonight. - That's so sad. - Are you gonna drink on the red eye to put yourself to sleep or no? - I don't think I'll have any trouble falling asleep. (laughing) I don't think I'm gonna have to grease those rails. - You've always been a good airplane sleeper, Seth. - I have, I can crush the airplane. I slept take off the landing last night. - But, first of all, I wanna start by saying congratulations, Akiva on your critics choice win. - Oh, thank you so much. - Naked guy. - C-C-A-R-Man. - That's comedy. - That's comedy. - It was a thrill. - It was amazing. - Also, we should post it in the chat. You crushed a righteous kill on the carpet. - Oh yeah, you did drop a righteous kill. - You certainly did. - Yeah, I did drop one in there. Very happy to do it. You know, I wasn't doing interviews, so I was just walking down the carpet, like past to everyone's doing interviews, but there was like two different clearly interviewers who, if they said, "Quade Army," or Akiva, then I was like, "Okay, I'll go to them." 'Cause of course. - Yeah, of course. - And so I haven't locked it loaded. It's hard to do sometimes. - Exactly, yeah. - And you're in that environment, I feel like you're so on that you're gonna hit it. - But it wasn't like, they didn't open with Quade Army. They didn't like a proper interview with you and then dropped at the end and you were right on top of it. - Well thank you. - Just like fight club. - People are sneaky with it. - I got one at Shake Shack today, and I was late with the righteous kill. - Oh, you were a little low. - Oh, that's probably good for your recovery. Shake Shack, good call. - Shake Shack and sugar free Red Bull talk. - It made me so tired for like four hours, and I was like, "What's wrong with me?" And I was like, "Oh, that's probably. " - But you had a giant tall Red Bull at home. - I got the Red Bull. - I know how to fix this. - I'd call a giant Red Bull like that. Is it the same amount as a small one and they dilute it, just 'cause you don't want to be-- - I don't know, jeep. - Or is it drink? - I don't know. - I'm gonna say hard no on that. - So it's two Red Bulls. - I don't think the good people in Red Bull are like, we need to dilute it. - It's just two in a row. - Next week's episode coming to you live from your arms funeral. (laughing) - What's your doctor's name? - I can't believe he's the guest on the pond of our education. - Oh, would you say, Grah? - Okay. I think I'd like that you forgot your doctor's name too. - I was kidding. - Hey, but we were, you know, critics' choice. Rolls into, we're recording this right before Golden Globes. It's Golden Globes weekend. We've all been before, Andy, you've won. - That's right. - You both have hosted. - We've both hosted. - We both hosted. And I do like to mention this, Seth, I technically won two because I am a producer in Brooklyn, 99. - Oh, congratulations. - Thank you so much. - I do have two in my home, and that feels good for me. - That is good for me. - That's good for book ending books, you know? - Exactly. - But there's now a podcast category in the Globes. - Ooh, let's get into it. - I just want to say, like, we want that. We don't want to win it, but we want an invitation because we do believe we can get permission to go as nominees. - Correct. - Permission from our wives, you're saying? - Yes. - Yes. - You know, we can take this to our families. - Yeah. - There might be a dinner beforehand, and maybe even like a drink during, I mean, we could make a whole night of it, guys. - We could have red bull and bockas. - We could, where do they put the podcast tables in that room, though? - Oh my God. - It's outside the parking lot. - We know the hierarchy, that's gotta be in that back. - We're living in 2026. I bet the podcast tables are closer to the stage than a lot of those, you know? - I bet they're front and fucky center. I bet they're front and fucky center. - Do you think there's more than one table? You don't think it's one podcast table, and then they give you you and a plus one? - Do you think we're actually at a disadvantage, 'cause they're like, we can't nominate those guys. That's a fucking whole table. - It's eight people if we let them bring plus ones. - I think they do think along those lines, yeah, of like who sits where, and they have no room. - They let DAX bring his chair. (laughing) - Is he armchair? - They've let him bring it armchair. They're like, that'll be more fun for people to see him. - Well, if he didn't have it, he would no longer be an expert, is that correct? - Correct. He'd just be a guy. - Yeah, it's his superpower. - So we want that, like so Hollywood foreign press, Sven, Helga, Hans, whatever. (laughing) We need this. I don't think that's the way to get it. - I didn't met him in Broome Hilda. Let us in, bitch. - Look, I know they have not gonna be permission to say this. The Lonely Island will do a song, nominate us, they'll do a song. - Well, we'll do it original. Like the one you're in, at the top of this. - Yeah. - I'll bang that up in a hot second. - Do you wanna play it again, your arm? - You wanna play it one more time. - Play it again. (upbeat music) - Get ready. ♪ I get ready for the sixth day ♪ ♪ You can move me more and lose the focus ♪ ♪ Show, yeah ♪ (upbeat music) - Be amazing if the second time I played it, I had a longer exploded. - Yeah. - I do have a second note. Oh, go listen to it a second. - I don't know if it's on purpose, but I do think it's very funny that twice in a very short song it tells you to get ready. Like I think it says get ready, which I guess is get ready for the song. - Right. - Get ready to have your mind blown by the song and the two different guys get ready for the podcast. - It was two different guys. - Oh, it's two different guys. - Your, is that an official normal guy's song? Or it's on its way. (laughing) - It's on its way to being official. - So like for someone who's following normal guy as an artist. - Yeah. - I did wanna do a whole normal guy album for all of our listeners out there. I never got to it. And it's very sad. - Yeah. I mean, I think for all the fan. - For all the fan. - For all the fan. - Really listenable. - For all the fan. (laughing) - Oh, speaking of righteous Kill, I sent you guys a picture. We'll put this in the chat as well. Couple came to my show. Jay and Shannon, charity winners, backstage meet and greet. And then Jay, at the end of the conversation, slides me a challenge coin. If you were met anybody in the military, they have these challenge coins, has a sort of rank on it, their unit. - They're so cool. - And they made me a quaid army challenge coin. But it's specific to me. And there's a couple of things. One, I mean, Jay, Shannon, if you're listening, I think the other dudes would love one. And then also my rank was general. - That seems right. - I think that is correct. - That does seem, yeah. And also I think that the more I thought about it, I realized this is, as armies go, this is a rag tag army. - Well, like what are our ranks? - Well, that's, well, somebody else is inside that. - Andy. - What would I want? - Yeah. - President. - He's got those all the ranks. - He is the leader of the armed forces. - And or emperor. - Much of privates of it. - Anyways, a lot in the show notes already. - Good, me a lot in the show notes. - Oh, at the critics' choice, I saw Kevin. - Kevin Miller. - I feel like that's podcast relevant. - Yeah. - That's our Kevin. - That's our Kevin Miller. - I think you know what I'm gonna ask. - Hmm. - Do you guys have to hook up? - No, we did. But we hung out outside for a while and just watched people walk by and chatted and it was really nice to see a friendly face. - There were lots of friendly faces there, guys. - That sounds less hearty. - That is the nice thing. I mean, you know, I think that award season, certainly for people in the higher tier of award season can be very stressful. For us to sort of middle the lower tier, it's really fantastic to realize how many people we're lucky enough to be friends with, that you see those things. - Yeah. - You hosted that one too. No, you didn't host a critic's choice, what? - No, I have to see it in the picture. - In the picture. - Ooh, jinx, which in the same place, right? Is that the same? - Well, no, the spirits are in the tent in Santa Monica. - This was also in Santa Monica, but it was at the hangar at the airport. - Oh, yeah, that's it. I had always thought the hangar in the tent were the same, but you're right, they're different. - So, Keith, you know what I'm about to say?
them clicks. What kind of salad do you want to do over here? Oh my gosh. Well, everybody was there. Who is your best dress? Keves five best dress. Somebody who looked like a fucking piece of shit. Quickly. Who was a fucking snack, bitch? I don't do as a snack. I'm not going to say any of that. I'm not going to just gobble on up with a fucking snack mode, bitch. I'm trying to think if there's anything like really to say. You know, when I did my little speech, well, the comedy awards on the red carpet first off. So I didn't even have to get on stage, but that was a relief to me because I hate public speaking. So I knew I'd get there, get any obligation. And the, I mean, it's not an obligation to win to win an award. It's awesome. But I just knew I wouldn't have to sit there the whole time wondering being nervous, which is the part that I personally, you know, it's very, I mean, I'm assuming it's kind of everybody that's sitting in the chair all night, not knowing if they're going to win or lose is makes it very hard to enjoy yourself. And then once your category is done one way or another, you can relax at least for a normal person, I would assume. And the fact that I knew it was going to be on the red carpet beforehand is actually part of what convinced me to go because I was like, Oh, I'll be able to go, get that part over with and then just see some people have any red bulls yet. I didn't have any red bulls. Actually, like all the workshops, there was no food. Then someone handed me a tequila and I felt crazy because I had me. You did send us a photo of you with an a-lister who was a just you guys fan. And this was not, you did not make this up, right? No, I did not make it up. We didn't clear this with you, Keith. This was told personally, but we're putting you on blast. Yeah. I mean, you could tell it or not, but I feel like this person would not mind. I mean, this is the venue that they would like it to be known to the world that they are a fan of your work. Potentially. He did not say quite army, but it was a treat. So I'm out by this kind of outdoor area because that's where I was liking hang because it's quiet and you can breathe fresh air and it's by the porta-potty so like you can just go as much as you want. Yeah, just huff that fresh air. The freshness there. And by the way, the porta-potty is in the photos sent us are heavily featured in the background. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's nice. porta-potty is to be fair. That's the place to hang out. But anyways, and I see Jacob Alority showing up to the awards and he's got like, you know, a whole crew of people around him, probably security and publicist and stuff. And they're like be lining to go in. And I'm just noticing him because he's like six six and yeah, insanely handsome. And I'm like nudging my buddy Danny going, whoo, weird that you didn't say a snack, but going, yeah, we teed you up. He's a whole meal. But and then and so I'm just noticing like, holy shit, that's the that's the guy. And then he stops and points at me from like very far away. And I'm like, is that really for me? And then he like, has to tell his entourage like, yo hold on, hold on, hold on. You guys go in, go in, go in without me. I got to say so. And then he just be lines to me. And he's like, yo, I got to meet you. What's up, man? And he just told me about, I'm on a boat. Is his karaoke song? And you used to bit torrent or whatever pirate bay, Harrod back in his college dorm. That was just two guys or we like sports to one of them, one of those. So basically, they're just saying like all the sweet spots to make me love this guy forever. Oh yeah, it's very, very tea-pain doing the ultimate punch where we're already a fan of a person. And then they're saying like, you know what this guy's great, all the right things to make me be like, well, I'll love you forever. It made it made my day, it made my week. I was so happy about it. Cause you know, I'm a Salper in head. You know that. Yeah. Who isn't? Hello, Eddie. Congrats on your success. Hello, Eddie. I don't like when guys like, hello, Eddie are so handsome. They're like, I'm gonna do this weird little mustache and still be fucking hot. It's still being hot. It's like they're like all dribble with my left hand. That's right. Let's see how this game goes. All four of us grow moustaches and it's just a pack of our crumbs. Four crumbs. We're seeing that in the creep video. We know where that goes. But Sandler says, hi, by the way, that's another one. Speaking of what do you do in that voice? That's how he talks. Yep, that was me talking to a lordia, so I guess. All right. I'm going to do a little bit of going through the three episodes since we haven't talked. I know you're powering through Seth. I just want you to know. I appreciate you, man. Yeah. And that's what a gentleman does. I'm not even powering through. I'm so happy to be with you. And by the way, I'm also happy when I'm not here because somebody did write after episode 90, which was the listener episode, like Seth, don't take offense, but it's so fun when you're not there. And not only do I not take offense, I wholeheartedly agree. I think there's split factions on that. But yeah, it was so nice. It was a dream come true. I laughed so hard at episode 90. This was described by a member of Quaid Army as the Seth's away, so the Alvin's complied ass. The Alvin's character. What was that one? That was the list of Q&A. And here's another comment. I'm just going to read from one of the members here. Another listener Q&A without Seth. How long before they get to an actual question, place your bets. Update 16 minutes in. No questions answered. Though I did appreciate the ha ha. You clowns recommendation. Great show. Update number two. 23 minutes in first question. I did watch ha ha. You clowns after that recommendation. Great. Can we talk about that? Really? You're in no condition to drive right now. So it's one guy doing all the voices, right? Yes. Yeah, he does the dad too, which is incredible. It's amazing. It's such a funny idea to just make like three kids who all look a little bit alike. It's just the same voice. Slightly different air color. Really great. It's a bass. It's really. And their girlfriend's slightly different. They're all matching. Fucking wonderful. Do we want to talk about Zootopia too? A little bit. I'm a big fan. What do you have to say about it? We never talked about it. Andy's a big part in it. Seth dinged me on his show. I know. That's he showed us the video before this chart and I won. I went after Andy's hard. I was trying to coax him into playing it again. Well, I don't want to talk too much because I like it's been out for a while, but I don't want to spoil the plot of Zootopia too. I'm just gonna play the clip here. You're grown-ass men. You're talking like the bad guys in Zootopia too, but not. Not Andy Sanberg's character. He's a good guy. Or is he? Or is he? I wouldn't trust that. He's a **** no matter how cute he looks. I like that. What I like about that is I'm burning you in the way you talk. That's right. I'm just like, embodying my spirit. I'm burning you as you. It's a real advantage that you have your own television shows. It is. You know what? Your room it is. And I tell NBC every day. It's a real advantage for me. I'd hate for you guys to take this away. Use my advantage. I wouldn't like to lose my advantage. When I say something here, Andy has nowhere to retort, but on the podcast that I'm also on, where I can find the retort. I have very few advantages over Andy currently, unless it's three albums and then you're **** skewed. The show is a real. That can looks empty on him. That can look so light. Almost about to cash it. I'll tell you when it's cashed. Oh, I'm going to jump around a little bit. Somebody said like from now on. How's the pain? Oh, for jump around. Yeah. Go on. Play that. You were so late that I had to think, did you know how pain ever stay from now on? Go on. Who's that Red Bull? That if you drink or eat on the podcast, the punishment is that's your avatar on YouTube. Oh, ****. I **** blew it. So you got to be a can of Red Bull on this episode and a burrito, a burrito can. Well, yeah. Last episode, you're a burrito. Andy's obviously going to be an apple. Oh, the burrito brain. That's what happened. Where it gets burrito brain? That was most of the comments. Right. I did eat an apple once. I guess I was kind of a hypocrite because I have a lot of people made that exact observation. Did they? Yeah. They're not going to forget that. Also, by the way, somebody called me, Questlove and Lynn episode three days. I don't know if I agree with that assessment. I mean, look, I think it's a one day of and two **** musical geniuses. They were making you laugh. Oh, you guys were funny. Wonderful. Somebody wrote this in the second time that without sets, the conversation is somehow landed on burritos. Well, we're Bayboys. Yeah. Another version of just imagining Seth with his head in his hands for the burrito brain chunk of this episode. He went from 1.5 X to 3 X. Not true. Burrito brain was, I mean, I wish it could have gone forever. I mean, look, it's a real affliction and it needs to be addressed. I feel like it is going to be addressed in the next Spider-Man movie. It might even be like the villain. Oh, yeah, it might be. I really hope. We got a little confirmation from one of the writers, but I don't want to, you know, put anything out there at that. One of the spiders most likely has burrito brain. Oh my God, what? Yeah. But I also, I felt bad because I wasn't there to make my case because I would really be upset if like I didn't, you know, a hater and I did write out an issue of Spider-Man back in the day. I recall. I love a piece of whatever this is. Oh, that's right. You did write an issue with Spider-Man. That's amazing. I'm just worried like Keave's going to be the voice of like Burrito brain Spider-Man and like, you're already in, you're already in. And like, I'd love a piece of it too. Yeah, you got to make your case. I think that's fucking fair. Yeah. That's fair. What, what Spider-Man would you like to be, Seth? I think is there a Spider-Man who goes, Oh man! There is now a reason they're camping in my opinion. Which counts. Hey, I forget what you guys were talking about a total recall logo on a license plate. That we actually should know. That was a photo we got sent, right? Yeah. Yeah, someone designed it. And somebody said, uh, you guys talked about the total recall font on the license plate holder, but not the pyramid minds logo from the movie poster. Oh, right. Yeah. It was that there were the little pyramid minds, but we didn't have the reference right in front. So, I was trying to remember what that
Yeah, dude that was anyway. I felt like people were being a little harsh on you guys. Yeah, it is funny Thank you. I mean, let's not try and act like the pyramid minds logo wasn't rips straight off the dark side of the moon on the mood board Right, we're not gonna pretend that we're not gonna pretend dark side of the moon the album guys not Transformers dark of the moon. I fucking cashed you guys. I cashed it. The fucking Red Bull's gone guys. I cashed it No, perfect. I just want to run on here to know I texted Mari when this started like you need to go get this Red Bull out of his hand I guess she's not home. God damn why you gotta saw me out road. Don't do that So I sometimes feel like a mother-in-law's child. What like a mother-in-law's child. Oh my god Feel fire. He's gonna just finish any sentence with an old cell leave-a-long ass pause then that's clearly the name of a cell It's not a lot of guys are like a hive mind. Yarm drinks the Red Bull and it goes straight to Andy's friend That is true. We did that a lot of me. Oh, we have a knu By the way, that was the end of a pop star not to like get into the pop star episode that we haven't done yet But like but that was kind of what happened in the alternative ending of pop star. We hive-minded all together It reminds me. No recollection. It was we thought that a giant bee comes back at the very end of pop star And then we would hide with the be joined bodies all together our spirit And then we fight this giant P. Was that on the extras? That's how the DVD it is Yeah, that's there. It's fucking it filmed it. No, it was like the other beat beats where it was under black Oh under the movie had been testing through the roof and the camera ran out of tape. Yeah, it was all audio I had fantasies that what if the third B beat we did have the camera turn back on and be like Cloverfield style like footage all of a sudden, but we like insane the effects were all of a sudden you actually like it twists the cuz all the other joke is You're seeing the words on the screen and hearing the sound effects anything can happen So we had made it so outlandish that it'd be so dope to see how it was great though. Yeah, I was cool. Yeah Death yeah, do we need to address the criterion picks? Yeah, yeah, we're getting it's coming up Okay, so we don't need any we don't need much time for Betty White. It's yeah, this is this is on purpose A lot of notes this week, but yes, we're coming up on that note no spoilers on the Betty White short, but I don't like it I'm so glad you said that keep because I was wondering if I was allowed to say You fully texted the chain that it sucks. Well it makes sense because you co-directed it with Chrysler your archanemesis No, you hey, I when we get into their picks, I think the curse deserved to go into criterion Oh, so there. Oh wow, that's very nice. You heard it here first guy, but when you I mean I will say when you and Chrysler direct together, it's just like jumping over the line jumping back jumping over fucking man This one sucks for a different reason. It just sucks. It's just we'll get you don't like anyway That's because like you just can't write good things or Betty White. That's what you were saying in the text What she just can't bring an idea to life is what you were saying You're like the writing was good. It was just what the fuck is supposed to do She's charmed up the case at all. That's what you think She's a lump that America doesn't care for. We crushed the idea and then we got this fish on the deck No fish on the deck is a classic key of expression for bad actors I bring up your arm falling off the ladder too much. So I felt a little bit. I don't know Vindicated when a minute into the last episode or not the last one when you guys didn't episode without me Your arm screeched and Andy said is that the sound you made when you fell off the ladder. It was like a minute I feel like I bring it up too much. Hey, by the way, though Andy I do feel like when I'm not on the pot. You're a little bit nicer to everybody. Is that true? I think like when I'm here I give you the permission to be a little like a shitster. Oh, yeah, or like he knows It's the way to make you laugh because you're just like a little bad boy. He knows I like little devil Andy. I'm trying to impress you There's a little devil. He's trying to move up in the ranks. By the way, you haven't like your arm can just walk your arm can just walk He can just walk now guys. Yeah, I can but the last week. I've been in crazy pain I just have the hospital to this morning because I was like is something wrong. Oh, so it's like how come you're in pain? I went to the gym you guys because I and by the way in terms of the Jeremy on white thing I've changed it So I looked up what Jeremy Alan white's dad looks like and I'm now gonna try to look like him He's spelt and everything so you're trying to like present day Bruce Springsteen I've figured the age is pretty jacked to you. I know you're still in great shape I knew as I was saying it was wrong. Anyway, I went to the gym on Monday. Are you gonna try to look like Jeremy Alan wrong? That's really good. Maybe anything there. Hey Andy if I had been here I do want you to know I enjoyed the listener. I'm so we tried to make this work the vicinity of your tinnitus It was close. I knew it was close. Yeah, I laughed out loud. I don't even remember the context I laughed out loud when you said to your arm. You were on read it instead of bread. I was so bummed that I laughed at that I'm still bummed about that. Yeah, they did say your arm. It's a full theater to eat on the pod Oh fuck. That's right. It is quite bad. So they were like if you really want to get that album energy go and don't bring a full meal Well, that's what all you said. I got a fucking crack another red book. I got some here Seth Do not again. These are just these are just comments a bunch of people said that's rich Andy's a complaints about this burrito are rich coming from Andy Applecrunch Samberg Come on I did like how many times your arms defense for eating the burrito was I'm my father's son Little Andy cared for that defense is not like that. It's kind of a steal from Andy like My mother's curse is oh my bad circulation. It's my mother's curse. Yeah Well, I'm always hot and they're really silly extremities. You know, we get all sorts of things from our parents My mother's curse. Wait, you say it's my mother's curse. Yeah, go. Can we turn the heat up to my mother's curse? I'm so sorry. Yeah Bad bad circulation. This is what it feels like to be in the studio with us. Hey, I'm going back to your being theater Do you think we get Linda to do a version of the adoja that's the adorja from Hamilton? Yeah, I think so it doesn't hurt us You just asked essentially. Yeah, I guess we just see what comes back The adorja why you always eating up on the mic Getting the melody wrong, but you get the idea Lin You wait we were talking about Santa one the idea that I couldn't watch grandma's with my kids because they would find out Santa isn't real yeah, and cuz it's scary. I do want everybody to know When you're married to Alexi Ash like there's no mystery. God. Oh, yeah, why how does that? How's that? What's a boy? She's like Santa's not real Santa's not real. Here's how babies are made. Here's videos Like just like everything. Why does she do that? That's sick. Um, she just believes that there's The world is not a place for magic When my kids found out that Santa wasn't real. They literally argued back. They were like, no, he is because I saw this and this and There was like one night. I heard a thing on the roof. There's that mark in the chimney And I was like they're like what are those and I'm like, I can't prove that that wasn't Santa So when you were saying you can't prove that he's not real you were kind of being real You're being serious. Yeah, I don't think anything can actually ruin it because you can't prove he doesn't exist Trying to prove a negative isn't like you know, that's always the but of course you could like prove like you're like here The receipts that of the gifts that you can prove the gifts aren't from them. Okay. Yeah, so you can prove that You can't prove he's not real, but you can prove he hasn't done jack shit But just like come and drink the milk and take the cookies. Yeah, or and doesn't do anything You could be like he might have been here, but he did nothing while he was here. Correct. Yeah, yeah You can say the stories aren't real about what he does and stuff But you can be like he's a real guy. He's just a bad guy. We don't know or you're a bad kid because he doesn't come here I don't know. I have to pay for all this. You're saying science can't prove that he's not responsible for the miracles of the world Exactly him. He might be have your kids ever laid out anything particularly weird for Santa like because we drank alcohol He made us leave like 30 different kinds of alcohol out for Santa like whiskey and all kinds of and then we had a you know We had to fucking drink them. I'm gonna go ahead and say Red Bull is making you say a higher number than it was No, Andy. It gives me wing. That's what it does. It doesn't do that You have 30 different kinds of alcohol in your mouth. Go. You're okay Whiskey rum vodka more vodka other types of whiskey and tequila. I did it Okay, okay, I stand corrected and I apologize great Santa is real Somebody wrote every time Andy talks about podcasts themselves It always makes me feel like such an asshole for listening to podcasts Good work, but I always say no judgment no judgment I just spend my time my precious free time that I would have all alone like in a car on a drive Trying to catch up on new music. It's just a it's just a preference. Yeah, I think that's cool I think that's fucking cool. Oh, thanks. You're some comments about ads because you guys talked a little bit about the ads Oh, I definitely haven't made them any better at all somebody wrote I think the frustrating part of the ads is you joking about how little money you get from them. Yeah Get in line, bud We did turn off the ads that we are capable of turning off on the YouTube ones. Oh good Somebody did write that you can do that and so I'm gonna yeah We did it we did it immediately after we recorded that one because they were doubling up on there Which did seem frustrating us?
All right, so thank you. Well, James, I hope you're listening because Kiva solved that or someone did. So, yeah, I think that's. - I was very excited to find out that gonks are also Scandinavian gnomes. - That was cool. That changes a lot for me. Also, someone wrote in the comments, "Quade Army helped me out. I must have zoned out at some point during an episode because I don't get these gonk references." - I mean, it was pretty heavily kind of a bomber to come in so late. - It was heavily referenced in one episode about geese, but I don't remember what it was. - So, I think here's three t-shirts. I'm gonna give you guys three t-shirt options that have been suggested and you tell me which one you want in our non-existent merch store. - Okay. - The first one is the front is a goose saying not a gonk and then in the back of the shirt, it's a Scandinavian dwarf with a voice bubble saying yes, a gonk. That's one option. - Yeah. - I mean, obviously that's good. - Yeah. - Good, genius. - Two burrito-brained to winter soldier. (laughing) - Oh! - Is that, I mean, listening. - Yeah, I don't know, Emily, I don't know that one. - Imagine, like, well, give me something 10 times denser than Quaid Army, right, just kill. (laughing) - I think I would wear a t-shirt that said two burrito-brained to winter soldier. (laughing) - That makes me very happy. - If it was nice and tasteful, maybe just small. - Yeah. - Also, I think that, like, if anybody's like, what does that mean, your response has to be. What is, exactly what is this? - Yeah. - This one, by the way, you guys probably should have had the NBC store. I can't tell, you're either gonna like it or hate it. - Okay. - An SNL digital shirt. (laughing) - I do think that should have been, that should have been in the font, perfectly, a black shirt with white riding at the NBC store, at the height of, at the height of it. I mean, it's really genuinely good. - We fucks with, we also, if you watch, I think we probably mentioned in the Hot Rod episode, but when we did the censored version of Hot Rod, all of the shits were shirts, too. So I feel like that also has a little crossover into our brand. - Yeah. - So that's a shout out to whoever came up with an SNL digital shirt. And also, two burrito brand of winter soldier. I mean, I think that's my face. - Ooh, that one just rings true. - Yeah. - Giesengonks, also good, but perhaps the, I mean, the burrito brand of winter soldier, obviously, is for me. - Yeah. - Doesn't really get much better and convoluted than that. - I still haven't designed a shirt, guys, and I feel like I should do that. I have a pretty easy energy you just threw into your heart. The can of energy. (coughing) - What is in it, Torrin? Is that the best go? - I don't know, man. All the good shit. - A key for you used to tell me like, "Oh, you got all that Torrin," or whatever, right? - I think it is Torrin. - Do you guys remember that Rob Schrob used to drink two monster energy drinks every morning? That's how he got start of his day going? - Ooh, two monster energy drinks. Like the big ones, though. - That's crazy. - This is a big one, though. This is a big one. - This is a big one, yeah. - Seth, you were pretty much a sugar free red bull guy, that's a no. - Yeah, I was drinking two a day. - Those would be on your desk. They gave me my own little fridge. - That's right. - I had a rebel fridge. - I think it's still in Joe's office, honestly. - Everything I had is still in Joe's office. He didn't clear anything out. He just put his shit on top of it. - It is, too. - It's like a crust on top of it. (laughing) All right, two quick comments from now again. Guys, this isn't our fault. We obviously would have preferred just taking a week off and not having a new episode. It was the fucking holidays we couldn't get together. And then Jeff, and Jeff has to own this, was like, no, we'll just re-air the sure and Jake Tapper criterion episode. Mamma recorded a new top for it. - Uh-oh, here it comes. - We're fucking mad as shit. And look, we blew it. Obviously, the fact that we didn't miss any episodes when you were in fell off a ladder makes it seem like. - We're made of episodes. - Are we entitled to take the holiday off like everybody else? - The answer is no, Kim. - Dude, let me tell you something. One of the downsides started to podcast, like Jeff won't let us take a week off. It's fucking squid game over here. Like just, there's no breaks. And you guys are so mad. Sorry. - No, he means that the quads are. Oh, Jeff just had a very helpful comment. He said we had to run ads for you guys not to make money on it. All right, well, fair enough. - Wonderful. - Wonderful. - But there was a really good, and Andy, I might need you to perform this. This was, I like when a couple of members of Quaid Army worked together in the comments section. Someone wrote, what's this? A rerun episode? Happy new year to the ground. (laughing) And then somebody wrote as if it was a lyric from that. If I wanted to hear it again, I'd go back and listen to it. (laughing) - Yeah, don't podcast that usually do like, so we dug this one out of the thing. Aren't those behind like a paywall at this point? So it's an actual, you know, like when certain podcast only have like 12 for free and then the other back catalog is hidden away somewhere? - They were pretty upset that we basically just threw a new episode number on the top of an existing episode they could listen to for free. - No, we shouldn't have done that, should we? - Well, it's done. - Yeah, it already happened. - But the episode already happened too. So it's not like, it's not a new app. - No. - No, but we put a number on it and everything. - All right, well, I'm a conscientious abjector. - Yep, well. - Is that how that works? Did I say it right? - It is, and you know what we're gonna do? We're gonna add you to the text chain you're already on. So you can let us know about these things in this future. (laughing) - We love your stuff. - We love your stuff. - Fair news, as they say and foggy London down. (laughing) - All right, so here, I mean, the one, everybody's pretty upset. Myself included, and I feel like I should have stood up for it more. The curse is clearly criterion. - Yeah, I think we look good. - Keep saying it is makes me think, like, let's just stop talking about it it is. - Yeah. - And there was a little, people thought there was a bit of a music bias from Lynn and Quest. I don't think that was the case. I just think there were great songs over the course of the 36 that we went through. - They connect to the songs the most. - But also all those songs would have made it. I don't think anybody was saying like, "Those songs shouldn't be criterion." It was just that this deserved to be. - I thought they were, I mean, and I loved it, but I don't know if everyone would agree. I feel like they were kind of handing out Kim's video, Willie Nilly. - Yeah. I think that there might be too many in the Kim's video. Do you have the list right there? - No, I thought that the one that I was surprised that they didn't give Kim's video was a Tizzle Whizzle. And I thought that one is-- - The date is definitely Kim's video. - Agreed. - I think they undervalued the date. That's one of all of our faves. - Yeah, love that one. - They had Space Olympics Extreme Challenge. Everyone's accredited. - Here's the ones that are all in the Kim's video that I would not have. - Freddie, a couple of homies. - No way. - Yes, no way. - Virginia horse is pony express. I, those are really mostly my thing and I would be like, no, that's like a separate section. - I would take a bunch of these out. - And I did a lot of animation on those. - Megan's room, yeah, yeah. But I just mean like, well, the first one-- - Megan's roommate, no, flags of the world, no. Zach drops by the set, no. The other man, no. Extreme challenge, no. - Honestly, of all of these, I would say everyone's a critic in Space Olympics. - Yeah, and I would throw in the date, which is-- - Yeah, I'm at the date. - Yeah, I would agree with that. - Nobody likes Tizzle Whizzle, though, eh? - No, I might not. - No, I like Tizzle Whizzle. - I like Tizzle Whizzle, but I don't think it's, I don't think it's Kim's video. - It's more than I just, I had just showed Tizzle Whizzle to my kid, my older kid, and he found it wildly rockously funny, so. - Yeah, but again, I like it. I'm just saying Kim's video, I think, implies a certain amount of coolness and style. - Yeah. - Well, also if Dugi didn't make Criterion, then I would put Dugi Houser in Kim's video. - And I don't think I would have put it in Criterion either, just like the quads. - It was in Criterion, but I feel like it's not. - I don't think it's Criterion. - It had nastrous. - I also, I also don't think it's Kim's. - But I loved how much did I both love it. - Me too. - Me too. - Yeah, I disagree. I think it should be Criterion, just 'cause it was so special and different. - No. - The other thing I will say is that Mike sure had an idea. And we might have to get a voice now for him because I might explain it badly. He goes, - Hey, look to the guy's AMDB, he's got a lot of ideas, Seth. (laughing) - It's very funny. - He said there should be a new category called laser cats. 'Cause we always get like tripped up during laser cats. - Oh. - Yeah, there's Criterion Kim's and then was it a laser cat or was it not a laser cat? - And it's like, is it a laser cat? - And it's like, yes. - And it goes into that category. - It goes into there. - He goes, that just will just save time. - So we don't have to talk about it anymore. - We don't have to relay it again. - There's Criterion, there's Kim's and then there's laser cats. - Most things won't make it. - Honestly. - No. - But it's laser cats with a K. - Got it. - Which I think maybe was accidentally a typo and then now he feels very strongly should be what we call it. - The craziest thing is gonna be when one of the laser cats doesn't get into laser cats. - Yeah, right. It's almost like if it's too new. - The thing that we're not thinking about with Criterion that we don't have to think about the very end of this when Criterion approaches us for the actual box sets. - Of course. - And we have them over a barrel. (laughing) - Yes. - The watchability, there is a certain thing where if it's just song after song, it might get exhausting. - Yeah. - And you'd want to be putting in these Kim videos just to tell a story like when you're putting together, when Tim and Zach are putting together and I think you should leave episode, sometimes a really funny five minute sketch becomes a three minute sketch because it's killing the momentum to get you to the next sketch. Like there's a fair amount. - That's some flows, that's some flows. - Yeah, there's a flow to it. And I think doogie, although it is musical, would probably put a really nice calm thing before your next like bombastic big I'm in a boat. So I do think this Kim's video ones would all actually end up on the Criterion to space out. - But Keeve, I just want to make an adjustment here. When we say Criterion, we're not saying like the way we would curate a Criterion collection of all of it. It's saying like these are the ones that are considered.
considered the actual best ones that impacted the world in some way that rose above the rest. - I agree and disagree with that, and I sort of agree with what Akiva's saying. - It's like a museum exhibit where you choose the famous ones, but then you also choose ones to show how they got there and weird, you know. - But again, I don't know, unless we're redefining what we're saying on this podcast, Criterion Means, which we could. It's ours, we can do whatever you want. - When we run out of shorts, and we start from the beginning, you know, and make it all a museum based, and it will be, is this the Louvre Mama or the Getty? - Yes. - We should also get someone from Criterion Collection to get on this pod and have them be like, why? - I am curious how they select their DVD, like which movie they're gonna do next. They must have a committee and have to like-- - I think they're like, whoever says yes. I mean, whoever says yes. - But Kiva, it's also like this is specifically, we're talking about aired on SNL. Like, if we were doing all this stuff ever in that way, like, this is the first Jim Henson puppet. Like, you would have to put just two guys and stuff like that that we know is, we love, and people like that, like our stuff, and be like, this is the whole breadth of all of it. - Yeah, that's how I view it. - The journey. - Right, right. - I'll be honest, I'm embarrassed for having talked about it this long. - Yeah, we're gonna enjoy it though. - I'm enjoying, you know what I've enjoyed? It's slowly watching Andy have very strong opinions and get more and more embarrassed along your head. I just love how much he hates it. Now he's trying to pretend like he didn't have these strong feelings, but he knows I both have the band and embarrassed that it can be both things. - Hey, somebody, you mentioned everyone's a critic. Someone said, I just rewatched everyone's a critic again, and I noticed something new. The auction was only for Paul's painting. No one ever saw Andy's painting. - That's right, 'cause Paul says this should be in a music, or Andy says that she should be in it. You should sell this or whatever. That's interesting, did we? But somebody wrote, I'd like to think it implies that even they both realized no one should see that one. - Yes. - Did we have a painting for you, Andy? Because we were filming, we might have been like, what if we want to turn around and see an edge? - I don't think we can be proud of this. - I think, if we're talking about like logic flaw, it was that they were gonna show the one I did after. You know what I mean? - Oh, I see. - And then all hell breaks loose, then they don't get to it. - We never get to it, right? - But do you guys say you're gonna sell both? I think when you look at Paul's, you say something, - All right. - Whoa, this is so good. - This is actually good enough, yeah. - You could actually sell this or whatever, yeah. - Did you like, I enjoyed Quest's observation that Shyamrani's better with the audience. - Yeah, that's true. - Yes, I thought that was a really good comment, yeah. Quest was fucking on point. - Can we just say, can we have a special thank you to having those two share their time? Oh my God. - Yes, we can on three, one, two, three, thank you guys. - Thank you, guys. - Did it, you guys did it? - Thank you. - And also thank you that he defended Dacquery Girl. - Yeah. - I loved Lynn comparing the doogie, he was like trying to explain it to Gen Z, and that his choice was Addison Rae, diet Pepsi, anything else honestly. - Being resung with a tear, and honestly the way he described it, I was like, oh wow, that would be powerful in 20 years. She's at like Coachella as like a legacy act, and she's like, got that tear, and she's doing it all slow. - It's a time capsule, bro. - It's gonna be, it'll be meaningful. - I didn't, I didn't think it was quite fair to rip on Gironi as much as it got ripped on, but like, but I really appreciated that they love Saksman, and that the roots say Saksman jokes to each other. - I know, that was incredible. - Fucking thrilling to me. - To think of them on a mic just within the band, calling out somebody as a Saksman. - We were texting about it. Like Lynn having gone to their shows, like we're the exact same. I'm sure we've talked about it before, but between Meeky and Yorm, we've probably been to like 50 root shows. Like, you just, it was what we did. We were so into them. - I've seen them more than any band ever. - Any time they were in the Bay Area, we would go see them. - Thinking about them talking, as a band talking about anything we had done is so mind-blowing and amazing. - Truly. - So Lynn has two kids, they're wonderful. I actually got to spend a whole day riding rollercoasters with these kids, and one of my daughters at Universal Studios with Lynn. It was wonderful, but I don't need their opinion on Ross Trent of all things. (laughing) They're quite young, they're not going to get it. He was like, I don't know. - What about their opinion on like a Butterbeer and Harry Potter? - Yeah, that's great. Like, it can't be on the table for costing Ross Trent, it's place on Criterion. He was ready, Lynn was ready. Oh, we listen to tape. He's ready to throw it away over to Kim's video, because Yorm was trying to put Tizzle Whizzle in Kim's video because of his son. - Yeah, sure. - But I'm positive. It's just ultimately like, I love hearing what your kids think about them, but it's not, you know, these are not moving the needle. - Not moving the needle. - To me, it can become, maybe I have a warped sense of what Kim's video is, but to me, if it strikes a different chord, or it has a different slight vibe to it that we haven't done before, which Tizzle Whizzle does to me, and that's the reason why I would put it. - Yeah, like even cherry battle in terms of things I'm proud of, like I would be like, "Oh, that should go in there on this blu-ray." And it comes with the prenatal. - I get cherry battle, Kim's FYI. - Yeah, I don't remember on the episode, did it just get shot down right away? - Kind of, yeah. - And what about by the quads? I never saw the results of the voting. - I think it kind of like, didn't generate much. - Fuck, that's so fucking uncool. - I'm just gonna read a couple more comments real quick. I know it's far too late for anyone to notice, but I had to get in here to say that I teach martial arts, and I have absolutely played karate guy in this school while we're doing drills. - Yes. - The Kee-ah. - Let's kill it. - The Kee-ah and karate guy has a little bit of shirony. - Kee-ah? - Kee-ah. - Yeah. - Little bit of Boyle Goose is definitely the same guy who vocally can do Boyle Goose. - Just ha-ha. - There was a fair amount of talk about the sexy Saxman videos, the guy that would play Carlos Whisperer, and I don't, I wasn't there when you guys did the curse, so I can't speak to if it inspired it. And I also don't know. I saw there were people saying that it actually came out before that the curse was first, sexy Saxman was second, or vice versa. I don't know the answer to that, but what I do wanna say is that Mike Diva is who made those. - Yes. - The homie. - And you tell it, you reminded me that reminded me that when we met him, he at some point told us about those and we had not seen them. - But also he was psyched about the crossover, and we obviously have worked with Mike Diva a lot and got him his job at SNL. And so I think he's fine with it. - We helped him get his job. He's talent got him his job. - Oh. - Nope. - Oh, look at that. - Nope. - Oh, you like Greece and Poms? - Yeah. - Wait, Seth, you skipped it. You're the coin thing that they gave you. How did the guy, the guy- - Did he grease your palm of that? - It was kinda like a palm. He kind of, he palm greased me. He gave it to you in a handshake. - Yeah. - What are those coins called again? - Challenge coins. - Challenge you. - The Quaid Army reference him giving it to you that way. - Yeah, he knew what he's doing. - Do you, in the army, do you get them for, do you get them for like merit? Things like that, if it's something you do to-- - I think you get them for serving in a unit, and then you, it's like, I believe it's something, well, I got one, somebody said, they're really the best weight of any coin I've ever held. It's so nice to hold them. - All right, so I'm just reading this real quick from the internet, but the coin challenge, member challenges others by loudly proclaiming a coin check placing the coin on the surface. Everyone present must produce their own coin. Anyone who fails to produce their coin must buy a round of drinks for those who did. - So people just have to have them all the time. - And if everybody can put a coin on the table, the challenger has to buy a round. And they are custom design medallions that symbolize membership, honor and achievement within a specific group. - Fuck, we need, we all need them. - And then go to the very cool, and Yorm is right. The weight of them is incredible. Somebody said that they had a, there's a wide receiver for the Troy Lions name, M on Ross, same brown. And they wanted us to know they won their fantasy football championship with a team name, M on a boat. - Yeah, that's awesome. - Nice. - Somebody said this week in podcast crossovers, I wasn't expected, Nathan Filion mentioned on his new podcast that he considered himself to have the softest hands in Hollywood until he shook Andy Sands. (laughing) - I remember that. - That's the fucking, you were smiling before you even got, you knew where this is going. (laughing) - That was crazy as I had met him a bunch of times before that. Like I think he was in our Emmy video, and then he was on Brooklyn 9.9, and then I saw him a while later after both of those, and we gave each other a high five, like, what's up? And I was like, ooh, and he went, oh. (laughing) I was like, your hands are so soft, and he's like, yours are so soft. And he goes, never worked a day in my life. And I'm like, that's what I always say, when people say my hands are soft, and he's like, you're kidding! (laughing) - Hi. - He was very wonderful. He has very soft hands. - That's a real Hollywood challenge. - Yeah, we use the same-- - We're self-deprecating joke about how we've never worked a day in our life, and that's why our hands are so soft. - That's actors, instead of challenge coins, actors have uncalist hands. (laughing) - Yes, but my voice box is Calist, you know? - Yeah, yeah. - Which is hard, yeah. - In my brain, you know. - All right, we're gonna, I mean, we're gonna blast through the short here. So, I'll just say very quickly. - I can't, I can't. - Yeah, yeah, we're gonna go very quickly. I just wanna say, this is one of the most iconic episodes. This is the only time, the internet kind of willed this to happen. - That's right. - There was a bit of a campaign to get better way to host. I would say that if you had told me in my time there, that the internet would get behind a host, would that ever move the needle? For Lauren Michaels, I would have my doubts. And yet, I think he realized this would be a cool thing. To do, he never did it again, you know? It didn't become a thing where he let the host get crowdsourced.
but it was Betty White and it was Jay-Z and it was really cool. - And she was how old do you remember? - I can't remember, but she was in her 80s though. - She was sharp as a tack. - She was wonderful. She's still like snacked on a hot dog and a snickers bar. - She had a hot dog in vodka at the after party. - Oh in vodka. - That's like Shake Shack and a Red Bull. - Yeah. It was Mother's Day, Lauren brought back, Amy and Tina and Maya and Anna and Molly. - Right. - I remember Rob Klein had just come back from a wedding in India and he just, he literally looked at who was coming back, did a little head count and he was like, "I think I'm just gonna go light on in this couch." I think. (laughing) - Too many heavy hitters. - He was so beat up and like definitely feeling a little, she would have been 88 years old. - Yeah, I got it, we're here. - But he's like, "I think we're good." And he was totally right. - Oh yeah, stacked. - I remember having no show that week and being fine. Just sitting back and watching and being so happy watching. - There is a Magroober. - Oh yeah, we did a really fun, fun Magroober with her. - I mean, she was in joy. - I can picture her on that Magroober. - Magroober, you're welcome. - Okay, let's see what he got here. - You know, he used to finger pain on the walls with his little poopies. - Nana, now he's not the time. - He called him poop castle. - She didn't know that. - He breastfed until he was 12 years old. - Okay, can we focus, please? - He had his first kiss when he was 60. How is Barry, by the way? - Nana, I'm asking very nice of you, please. Thank you, stop. - Did you know when he was born, they thought he was a girl for two whole months 'cause they couldn't find his wayway. It's called micro penis. - Shut the hell up to you all night. - Actually, in the Magroober, she, there was a piece of audio that she did where she's going back and forth on this little jazzy scooter to get items from Magrober. And she's like treating Magrober like he's a little child and talking about his little nappies and embarrassing stories and whatnot until Magrober freaks out on her. But at one point, she's going back and forth on this little jazzy scooter and she's going, "Beep, beep, beep, I'm too old to drive." And it was my favorite piece of audio. I tried to make it my cell phone answering like when the ring goes off. Fuckin' loved her, absolutely loved her. We've talked about it one of the most. The last two sketches of the night were unicorn, the Michael Bryan classic, that she never liked because it was about a dead unicorn and she was an animal rights advocate. Michael Bryan to this day is really mad 'cause unicorns aren't real. - They're not real, yeah. - And then for three, I mean, I'm not for three forever. - Did it ever error unicorn? 'Cause I see it and it was cut. - No, it's never errored. - Never it got cut. - But O'Brien just kind of maintained for years that she tanked a sketch and that he was not a fan. (laughing) - The nicest most professional person in the history of entertainment. - And just like, I mean, it was nothing was more fun than listening to O'Brien go off about Betty White. (laughing) - The last sketch of the night was a scared straight, last sketch of dress. And halfway through unicorn learn was like, we're good. I'm gonna go up to my, 'cause it was a really long dress. So he went up to his office, everybody followed. Myself included. And scared straight started. And again, it was like her crushing so hard with Keenan that the audience was like shaking, the studio was like shaking with laughter. And I was like, I was seeing from like studio 60 where I said to Lauren, um, I think you might wanna take this. - Oh, you look at this. - You told us this when we were talking about balcony songs, 'cause you did not do that for balcony songs. I should have, but yeah, so that was in this show. - That's what it should have been. (screaming) - No, it's not, I know where it was, I don't, I don't. (laughing) - No, you do not end up wanna get in my story. - Oh, she kicked that up. - Then you will be playing "Twister" on the floor of the prison back room. - And that's right, and it won't be don't lie in a 10-man and a scarecrow, it'll be you lying down while 10 men make you a scarecrow. (laughing) - Don't look behind the show, you know, you'll meet the wonderful wizard of ass. - So, um, all right, so then you guys have a short. I'm gonna say two things, two shorts that we've talked about that it has a little bit of. I think both servers maybe a little bit of a detriment. Has a little bit of doogie house or has a little bit of tizzle whistle. - Yep, and much worse of both. (laughing) - So, I guess. - Yeah, not, it is not a ground breaker either. I wanna say, I do like that before the turn. Everybody does a very good job of selling that it's sort of sackering and sweet. - You're just gonna lean in. - Yeah, that's a very nice, like Andy in particular, like you have a great, like you're acting of like this was all this was gonna be, you sell the shit out of it. - Thanks. - I was ready to like it 'cause I remembered, oh, and there's a turn. And so I was watching the imagined video of it, right? - Right. - A bunch of celebrities singing a song where you're like, I hate this, but it's also good, but it's also, I hate this, this is a comedy show. But I am back in my mind, we're watching earlier like, but it has a turn, it's gonna be fine. And then the turn was so limp to me. - Yeah, it's just like, it's a softball. - It's also strange because especially when you look at the show, it is that case where like, you didn't really need it for content, but you probably did need it for transition. And it was only 90 seconds and it had the whole cast. And there was something a little bit sweet about it. - If it's only 90 seconds, does that even get Lauren his transition? I thought I was like 145 that he needed or something. - Well, they ultimately at the air, it just goes to commercial after, but maybe he just filled it out the right way. What was the number though that Lauren always wanted for us to be because it allowed them to change sets. - It was about 130, but it was. I think it was 150. Thought he was always so mad when we turned anything. - Less than 150. - This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think it's criterion. - Okay, great. - Woo! Now we're getting somewhere. (upbeat music) - Oh, there was just lovely, but I think I prefer my version. (audience laughing) - Two, three, four. (upbeat music) (audience laughing) ♪ The circuit's on me and I'm right ♪ (audience laughing) ♪ Just to remember how long I've come ♪ ♪ I'll be right back for what you do ♪ ♪ I'll be a guest here ♪ (audience laughing) (audience laughing) - There's some laps. (audience laughing) (upbeat music) - That's what their mothers say, mother fucks. - Yeah, that was fine, yes. - It's fine, what are you so mad about, Keith? - Nothing wrong with that. - That's fine, I mean, you know. - It was very hard to sit through the earnest part. That's what I'll say. - Yeah, yeah, it was fine. - Well, it was fun to see the gang, you know. - I was just trying to, you know, get some spicy on here, it's fine. - The clicks, damn clicks. (laughing) - Yeah, I was there. - Yeah, it was fine. - She said mother fucker. - Did you hear that at the end? - And you know what, listening on headphones, the audience liked when she was doing flips and stuff more than I could hear when I watched earlier on my phone. - I also liked that it's full cast as well as everybody who was invited back in still no room for setty. (laughing) - You were busy. - Why weren't you in it? - I don't know, that's a good question for the director. Probably we're like, leave me out of this trash. - Maybe it's because of the sound of your singing voices, like nails on a fucking chalkboard. - By the way, that's probably the best. - No, it can't be worse than bill. - It can't be worse than bill. - But bill sounded fun. - Bill covers it up pretty well. - Yeah, he did good. - I was surprised at how bad Fred singing was. I didn't like Fred singing. - Fred singing was awkward and weird, yeah. - Yes, fucked up. - Yeah. - We'll cut all this. - Uh, Jack Black. - Betty White looked like shit. We'll cut all this. (laughing) - Jack Black, sing us in. ♪ Spelling big ♪ (laughing) ♪ Spelling big ♪ - Anybody got? - Not only did I quibi clean Seth. And you know what I'm about to say. I almost got it squeaky clean as they say, which is what I say. I didn't even have to look at a single thing until I was one word away. And I think I even still would have got it. But I just had to start getting going on sleeping because I didn't do it. - I didn't do it. - 12 a.m., and it took me 15 total. - Can we call that a queen, a queen squeak? - A queen squeak. (laughing) - That's when you get it with the no help. - The thing I love about starting at a 1201. - Yes. - That's what I did. - Is that then I can look at the timestamp of when I text Seth, I queen bead, and know exactly how long it took me. - Oh, that's good. - Yeah. I believe it was either 14 or 15 minutes. - That's really fast. - And by the way, everyone I got word all in four. - Oh, great. (laughing) Andy, I have a few quick. - Spelling me things to say. And then we're gonna wrap this up. - Okay, my man. - How happy are you when Avatar is in spelling me, which it was this week? - Very. - Yeah, okay, great. There's sometimes some a little bit of, I don't know. Sometimes the bee has a bit of a filthy mouth. And we were talking about both jiggle-o, these aren't filthy, but jiggle-o and dildo are words that are in the bee all the time. - Yeah. - And we're not, we don't, weirdly, even though ours are comedy words, we don't get them right away. - They're both hard to get. I also for some reason often takes me wild to get Avatar. - Yeah. - Just coincidence. But yeah, jiggle-o and dildo, wow. Some days you forget ones that you know are just sitting right in front of you, and then other guys are like, yeah, there's bail-babb. - Doesn't the word dildo seem like it's short for something? Like it feels like it's like a slang. - It's short for dildonicus. - Oh, yeah. - Yeah, thank you. - Yeah. - Anyway, it was something. - He was a, he was a, from Greek mythology, he had a big ol', yeah, he had a big ol' wing. - He got it cut off. - Yeah. - He got it cut off and then this island of there. - He's like, um, my dildonicus. - The sapphic, you know the story.
I don't have to tell the story, I'm still dying. (laughing) - And the guy's like, "Face me, Dildon again!" Oh no, don't face me. - They referenced it heavily in Wonder Woman, the new Wonder Woman. - It's like a reverse Medusa. If you look at it, it turns to stone. - Thank you. - And then it's even better. - When you say turns to stone, you mean it turns into a big ol' butter? - Yeah. Vibrator was the pan gram this week as well. - It was. - So it was kind of a, it was a real saucy week. - Oh wait, there was a naked gun in the mini at some point during Christmas break. - There was. - There was. - Someone texted about, you know, I think that counts as another-- - Yeah, definitely. - Shot across the bow. - Oh yeah, they're talking to us. - Uh, the bee is talking to us. - Gill yourself. - Just say they're talking to us. And speaking of vibrators, you are me like putting those in your butt, right? Andy, don't kink shame me. I like what I like. - I'm not shaming. I'm just making-- - I think we talked about Dildo for a long time, but you had to wait till vibrators came up. - I'm making casual and interesting conversation. - I, me, like, sweat me like-- - Gotta get him clicked. Gotta get him teeth. - There's a thing that happens to Andy where he gets real tired. But then when he knows it's almost over, he gets this late pot energy. He's so happy. It's almost over. He becomes really good at it. - Here's the thing. I got so many enemas when I was in the hospital that I fucking like what I like now, you know. - That's what's up. - Oh, it's changed your proclivities. - This time it's an animal bat dance. - It's changed my mind about a lot of things. - You know what they say? Sometimes you gotta just get something shoved up. - Your butt, you know, you like how it feels. - This has been a lonely island podcast. I love you guys. - Love you, Seth. - Love you too, love you too. - Seth, did you say-- - Later Arnold! - Later quads. - Did you say this whole town needs an animal bat dance? - Yeah. - Okay, good. (laughing)
