♪ The lonely island ♪ - It's our first podcast. - Your mom really happy you made it. You hosted a wedding at your house last night. - We did, it was probably 120 people here last night. - Was it hard to host a wedding with a phone that doesn't receive or send text? - Oh, that's a great question. - Yeah, well, 'cause people could just shout to me from across the yard. - I see, I see, I see. - So overall, the wedding's easier than a podcast. - Is what you're saying? - It's what we're getting at, yeah. - Oh, yeah, deaf, deaf, most deaf. - 'Cause we knew you hosted a wedding, but we were like, oh, must've been, maybe accidentally your arm, like, through his phone, and they were supposed to throw a bouquet, and that's why we haven't heard from you. - I wasn't just hosting the weddings, I was officiating the wedding as well. That's why I was distracted. - Sure, sure, sure. - Yeah, no. - We were just looking for like a, yeah, your name. - Is this happening or not? - Yeah. - Just like a single solitary night. - And yet, here I am, and where Doth Andy be? - Yeah, no, that's a fair, that's a fair hit. - I mean, I think Keave and I are in the clear, Keave was texting with your wife this morning, trying to figure out if you were doing the pot. - Yes, I feel like. - Let's just make it clear, if that threshold gets crossed with Alexey, the pot's over. - I was, I was stumbling around the yard. - Stumbling, shout out. - So collecting all the fireworks that I blew up. And then she was like, are you getting it on the pot? I was like, oh, yeah, I guess so. - Right, right, so, so, so, so, so, so, so. - Yeah, yes. - But shout out to my cousin, Haiti and Will, who just got married, my new cousin Will too. - It's great. What did Forte do? - Oh, well, Forte, who is not getting married, did they have these little stations? They're a very creative couple, and they had these little stations that you had to collect stamps for. So there's five different stations, and there's one that there's this phone that you can pick up and leave a message for the couple, and they're gonna listen to it like 30 years. I don't know why I was 30. - I like it, I like it. And then, of course, I was like, oh, be fun. If we got, you know, somebody to send a little message to like explain it when you pick up the receiver. And so, of course, Forte was the nicest man alive, and was like, you know, this is how they wish Will Forte. - Does Forte know them? - No. - So Forte's basically like a human genie. You don't need to find his lamp, and it's infinite wishes instead of three. - Yeah. - Basically, anything you ask Will Forte, you don't have to know him. You don't have to have like, freed him from a lamp. He'll just basically give infinite wishes. - He'll disappear and like talk to your grandma for a half hour. - Yep, perfect. Sweet man. - Hi, Andy. - Hi. - Andy. - Jorm, did I ever hear you saying you beat me, as I got on? - Yeah, that was, he's been. - Yeah, he were, you were late. But it was impressive because I didn't even know this was happening about 15 minutes. - Why would you? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. 'Cause you were non-responsive for four straight days. - Hey, yo, hey, yo. I don't know if you like are gonna be surprised by this, but I don't even know where my phone is right now. - Baked it into the wedding cake. - Oh, no. - Yeah. - And it's the end of the week, right? Like this would be when your radar would go up like, oh no, it's probably today. (laughing) And Jorm, Keith had your back. Keith was the one who was like, he's got a big old wedding in his house. He was trying his very best. - I was defending, defending. - Guy number one fucking comes through. - But I would say around nine a.m. this morning, it became indefensible. - Yeah, just because we did need to know. - Gently indefensible and I love you very much. - Okay, the thing that detracts from this is, if you saw me lighting off like fireworks last night, like a little tipsy, you'd be like, well, fuck this guy. - Well, this guy could have checked his phone once and just been like, I'll be there. - But he's the big keep. - I did not know where my phone was at that point. - Yeah, he's still there. - He's still there. - Well, thank you, Samari. (laughing) - Andy, did you, are you wrapped? - No. - Okay. - How much more you got? Couple days? - Yeah, three more days. - Oh, three more. - Three more days? That's good. - A lot of people thought Andy was in a great mood in the last podcast. A lot of people were like, oh my God, episode 116T and answers the question, how many of these we have to do before Andy likes it? (laughing) - That's not true. He hit that a while ago. - It was a real one and done. - I thought the last two episodes he was in a great mood. - I've made the, you were like Robert De Niro in Awakening's. - We had a like brief moment where you were like catching baseball and stuff. - I kind of feel like me being in a good or not good mood based on like the vibe and the pod is basically, like I'm the Richard Dreyfus and what about Bob? - I see you. - Yeah, you know what I mean? And like if you're watching the movie, you're just like this poor fucking guy. But if you don't see what's happening- - You're the grown in, you're the Charles Grodeman Clifford. - No doubt about it. (laughing) - Three Clifford. - Shout out Clifford. - Go see Clifford. - Go see Clifford. - Definitely watch Clifford. - Clifford, yeah, in theaters this weekend. Martin Short, Charles Grodeman. - Martin Short, this is hilarious. - He plays a small, like maybe a 13 year old, I don't know where, what the target is. - Younger, younger, like a 10 year old, eight year old. He's got a red sweater. - It's amazing. You can't believe it's a movie and it's not good, but it's, well I guess it's what you just said. - There are moments of absolute inspiration. - There's the algorithm every now and then, serves me to see where Charles Grodeman is just telling him to act normal. - Yeah, he can't make his face normal. It's really something else. - He's like, "Be a human boy. "Be a human being." - Which is such a funny thing, because they've cast a non-boy. - So it's like almost like meta in the director. - Can you just be a human being for one second? And it's like, Martin Short's eyes is just going, (laughing) - So, go see Clifford this weekend. - Yeah, yeah. I'm pretty sure it's back in theaters this weekend, but you have to check your local listings. - Yeah, do yourself a flavor. - This is very exciting. I'm just going to get into it. You guys know I'm a gear head. I'm pretty much a reading car and driver first thing Sunday morning. New story dropped a couple hours ago. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? Has anybody seen this? - Is it about my van? - Here's the headline. Lonely Island member bought this sweet dragon theme, JDM key van. - Oh shit. - I was kidding. - Full article in car and driver. - What? - No, you're bad. - No way. - No, that's not true. - It is very true. And here, I'll put it in the chat. And by the way, I thought it was just going to be like an aggregated article. That is not what like an AI one, where they just kind of bullshit around. - Yeah, no, no. I'm giving that the inaugural Quaid of the Week to Brandon McAleer from Carings Drive Road. - They got, this is from the shop and everything. This is cool. This is like, I haven't even seen this photo. - Whoa. - Can I read you a few lines? - Please. - It's a Japanese market, K. Jadausha van, one of the ubiquaid tusks, little movers, which can be identified by its righteous grill. (laughing) - Oh shit. (laughing) - Oh. - While doing press or over your dead body at Dark Comedy, directed by Takone, released last month, he told the story of how he came to own the wacky little van. Just a couple of days, having an underground, major surgery on his spine and pelvis, while hopped up on heavy pain medications, he jumped on the internet and started browsing for JDM cards. (laughing) - Ordinarily, that'd be the seed of a terrible decision. What's funny in the driving a tiny van around NYC, driving one that's entirely covered in a dragon-themed livery, that's truly kablama. - Oh, this is sweet, that's a real fan. - In this case, it's the kind of burrito-brained move that's endlessly pleasing to anyone who loves. When the lonely island takes the silly concept or runs with it, I feel like my character on the pod is getting a little wackier than maybe I am in real life, or maybe not. Maybe this is the way. - This is amazing. - Yeah, it's a great, it looks awesome. - That's so tight, like those pictures are rad. - Somebody had one last shot out that I'm surprised we haven't heard, maybe we haven't. I missed it, named for your van. - Oh, what is it? - Deeter van Cunth. - Oh, that's very good. - Hard to argue. (laughing) - Deeter van Cunth. - The Duagon wagon. - It's a van. - It can be Deeter van Cunth colon the Duagon wagon. - Yeah, I'm gonna run through a few things before we get to just head sex part two. We do know to our listeners, we do know what we're supposed to be doing. - It's fine, it'll be in the title of the episode. They'll know from that. - Yeah, that's true. Hey, Meetra Juhari, am I saying that right, Andy? - Yeah. - You're co-starring, Dickman. - Yeah. - She's so funny. - Absolutely. - Somebody said, "Did you notice Meetra was the special guest when Sarah Sherman was on good hang with Amy?" So Meetra did the calling and asked questions. - Oh. - And I don't listen to podcasts. - Right, right, right. - But people said like, "Hey, I can't believe Meetra was on "and Amy didn't mention Dickman once." - Yeah, what the hell, Amy? - And it really was. I didn't realize the rivalry was still this heated. - Yeah. - That like Polar is just definitely trying to like, "Bad hang us at every turn." - Yeah. - She's anti-quaid. - I think if Amy ever starts listening to podcasts, we should stop doing this podcast. - Oh, yeah. Well, he'll have a lot of notes all of a sudden. - Yeah, I'll send him. He'll go, "You know what other podcasts do?" - You know what they do is. - They don't just ramble for 20 minutes. - They're like, "You on camera and make money." - Thank you. - Andy Mystic, 'cause Andy was shooting a movie, but speaking of Polar, me and Schumager. - I was so bummed. - Saw Dratch, Maya, and Polar. We were supposed to see Anna and Anna got food poisoning midway through a show. - Yes, sir. - I had to go home. - That's why when you're on Broadway, whenever I'm on Broadway, I stick to the same meals every day. I figure out what works. Something really basic, like a tuna sandwich or something. - Well, 'cause you were not from Piven. - When Piven had to miss time with the sushi, I was like, that was from the Mercury poisoning. You don't want to have a random lunch and then find yourself in the middle of Schmigadun wanting to take a. - Schmigadun. - Schmigadun. (laughing) Tony Award winning Schmigadun. - Give you always say you gotta watch what you eat when you're on Broadway, so you don't end up broader. - Oh, broader than Broadway. - Yeah. - Allah. The peak Broadway for me is being in a bar and having Dratch and Maya walk in together post-show singing on Broadway. (laughing) - And in a way too, like, you can do it as loud as you want. Like, what person in a Broadway bar doesn't see the two of them singing on Broadway and just break into the biggest fucking grant? - Yeah, that's what you hope happens every night. - Yeah, that's funny. - That's funny. - I thought you were gonna say break out in song with them. - That's true. - Yeah, you might as well, right? - I thought you were gonna say the entire bar joint suit. - Where was it? Was it a sardis? [BLANK_AUDIO]
Bernie still exists? - It does, but it was a, well, we'll bleep it. - Yeah. (beep) - Okay. - You know what, it's not gonna work really good for your, we love stronts, or what's with them in your website? - Yeah, yeah. I want stronts. - Is that we bleep all the stronts? Should we put all the restaurants that we do, but the names are censored on every single one? - Everything's blurred out? - Yeah. - Full description of it. - Pictures of the food, but the outside's blurred out. - Why do we gatekeep the stronts? - I don't know why we're gatekeeping the stronts, you know what, don't bleep it. - Let the world hear when we wait. - I like it, it's funnier to gatekeep the restaurants while operating like a yelp that gate keeps the restaurants. - Can I say where I went last night, thanks to Seth? - Yeah, Seth. - Say where you went last night. - My dear friend Seth, he got me a table at one of the hardest stronts in all of New York, even though he wasn't in town, he helped me hook it up. - Yeah. - And obviously we'll bleep this, but it was (beep) - Yeah, yeah. I mean, and I genuinely, I cannot tell everyone on this spot and everyone listening, just how happy I was to know I still had that pull. - Damn right. - Yeah, that's cool. - Yeah, I mean, again, it helped that it was like pulling for Andy, like I mean, I dropped your name as well. - And like, hit us in the tittest, King of New York, Brunson or Myers. - My son told me that he heard from a friend at school that now there's a bodega sandwich called the Brunson because like a kid was interviewing him, he told him what he gets a bodega's. - Oh. - I don't believe this, it's true, but it was told. - So what kind of sandwich? - At least some bodega. - I was like a everything bagel, I think, slathered in success. - You said hit us in the tittest, somebody did suggest. It doesn't quite work as well, but I appreciate that for pingas in the dingus. - Oh. - I think that actually works quite well. - Yeah, I don't even mind if I start saying that. - Well, you have to say like, you can't say pingas 'cause dingus, like, well, no actually-- - Tingas in the dingus. - Pingas in the dingus. - You just can't say dingus. - Yeah, pingas in the dingus though. - God, dingus, highly underutilized. - Yeah. - I mean, if you're not using it, it might be lost to the world. - But you gotta use it right. You know what I mean? - Dude, and part of the reason why I was so excited for you to see the van is just to be able to use the word "Dinky" with you, 'cause I just feel like you-- - Oh, yeah. - That word a lot. - It a dinky doodle. - Yeah. - It's a dinky doodle and it's carrying a little dinky doodle dandy. (laughing) - Wait, I got some more before we can just have Seth hold on. - Oh, recipes, sir. - I just had Seth. - That is exactly what it sounded like he said. It's weird to say your own name by accident. Like I never would be like by accident called one of you, Akiva. That's like the one way I wouldn't slip. - Do you think this guy-- - Well, there's only one person who could do it, but I don't want to like talk about your personal life. But do you think your wife after she works use things I just had Seth? - Oh, yeah, probably quietly. - Yeah. - We might like hums it in between sobs. Do you think she's singing? Held is your youngest Seth? - My youngest is four and three quarters. - So four years ago, do you think she's saying that? - Yeah, four years and nine months. - Four plus three quarters plus nine months. Oh, double three quarters, I didn't even find that. - Taking back, did you remember her in the shower? - Turning back into my mind, Palace? My memory, my Palace? - Yeah. - And that was the last time, yes. - Can I tell you a very, my favorite like economy words comment this week was I just had Shrek's. It's on for the listeners. - Three Shrek's. - If any quads want to, not using AI or whatever. Make a hot rod poster, job of the hut in hot rod. - Oh, sure, yeah. - We'd love to take a look at that. Micah Brian, kind of the MVP of last week's pod. - Oh, fuck. - Did you hear, he was a, he had a good buy at the end too. - I was told and then checked it out, yeah. - Very funny. - So I do remember him, yeah. - And somebody said, I feel like Andy is just learning that Brian is a real person and not his Tyler Durdon. (laughing) - That's right. - Oh, I was gonna say, Rest and Peace, and she played the mom well. - It's very sweet how many people reach out to the pod. - Oh, yeah. - Like a very funny lady. Chavez, he was great on Elf. So a sincere Rest and Peace. - Yes, and we recorded last weeks before that, transpired, obviously. - And what's your voice note? - I don't know. Jeff said that great chunk had sent something in. So whenever he does, it seems worthwhile to him. - Leave it a listen. - Yeah, let's do it. - You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you? Hey, shit sticks, it's Elf. Now, it was a little myth. The first time you had to go with me and Max. But I get it, it's the business. You're doing your thing, but you had to bring that shit up again. And now I'm fucking pissed. And while we're at it, what did you lay off Max, all right? He had a rough go at it. He was a good man. And sure, he may have s---ed a little s---ing it. (laughing) - I dropped it, or two for money. But that doesn't give you the right to turn him to a fucking pariah. - Get off the sidewalk, man. - Hey, go fuck yourself. - Yeah, oh, this is your last warning. All right, don't you ever talk shit about me on your show again. Or I swear to God, I will come down there and gouge out your eyeballs and shit a little alien turns it into your spockets. - I don't remember. I'll curse him so much, he broke something. - Damn it. - But rest in peace, Anne. - Yeah, I was in her honor. - Really good timing. - How's the spot on Alph unsurprisingly? - Yeah, okay, he's very good. - He's got the facts. - And kept waiting for him to say the word willy. I just feel like you have to say willy. - Willy. - Yeah, but he was the real life Alph, not the Alph from the show. - Correct, yeah, the Alph, Alfred. - Wait, have you guys not actually seen the outtakes of Alph cursing constantly? It's pretty funny. - Oh, yeah, it's on the YouTube. - Yeah, it's on the tube. - Somebody added a timestamp to the last week's episode. And it was helpful, 'cause I think I just had sex, maybe some fresherish soda to the pod because it's such an iconic short. And so they said, "For the quads start at zero minutes, zero seconds for the pod versions, 24 minutes, 54 seconds." That's how long it took before we got to business. - And they were like, "That's when you're not just "fuckin' super confused by the shit they're talking about." All right, we are now into part two, just said sex. And I have three comments that are specific to the short, but as I'm reading it, it's specific to any of your songs. Question about beats. When you get said in beats by others, are you given some period of time to review and claim them or are they sent around to a bunch of people at the same time? Is there ever concern that someone else might be working on a song with the same beat? Or is there a time, once you start developing a song, that you can claim rights to a beat? Maybe so many beats are circulating in a given time. This is never concerned. - That's a great question. And I don't know the answer. - Can you do you wanna take it? - Yeah, keep. - Yeah, we are concerned. And we definitely, when we start working on one, try to contact the producer immediately to put a hold on it and have first dibs. And we have gotten into situations in the past where we start on one, call the producer and find out that someone has beaten us to the punch. - Beat me to the beat. - The most interesting example is on pop star with Grady Guy, where we had fully put it on hold, gotten through a version of the song. And then it had taken so long to put it out because we were making a whole movie that the producer had maybe forgotten. I mean, we weren't mad at them. They just were like, oh shit. So anyways, there was a song and it has a little way in on it, but it's from a different artist, but I'm blanking who it was at this exact moment. But anyways, so there are two songs out there, somebody's gonna find it for us. And it's Grady Guy and it's the exact beat from Grady Guy. And the way there's head was way ahead of us. And the way that the producer and everybody gratefully made it work for us, is if you look at the credits of Grady Guy, it's as if we sampled their song, this little way in song, even though really we both all worked off the same beat. - Beat at the same time, but since his went out first, you had to make it too. - Yeah, that it was like we had sampled this song. - Gotcha. And when you sort of plan a flag on a beat, just go back to our listeners' question, like what is the timeline that a producer will give you or is it kind of like a good faith thing of like, you start working out, I think, the deal. Like if this song does end up getting released, here's what will pay you for it. And here's how many percentage points if we're gonna share some of the ownership or whatever it is, all the details. So they know, so it gets to be a contract in place. And then they can, I guess, put a time limit on it, but I don't think we usually do because it just takes so long for stuff to come out sometimes. - But they are being sent to many, many artists all over the world, probably. And I mean, a lot of these producers that we're sort of fucking with are very high-end producers. So I don't know if it's like very selective of who they go to or like, but-- - But it's never, there was never a case where producers was like, hey, Lonely Island, here are 20 beats I made for you guys. And I love you. - Sometimes, if we've developed a relationship, or we put the word out through our reps, like Lonely Island are recording, looking for songs and sometimes we'll get tracks from people being like, Lonely Island, demo one, demo two. And it's just, it's ones that they made, they got inspired by hearing that we were looking for beats. - And sometimes we'll actually put the feelers out to be like, we wanted to be big and authentic. And it's very rare that we do this, but like we have done it once or twice. And then the only other beat that I can remember that was, I think for YOLO, B-O-B, I think had claimed that beat. And then we had to like, sort of negotiate like, oh, can we have it because we really love it. - I think it's pronounced Bob. - B-O-B? - I'm just kidding. (laughing) - Right, I like it. - I like when Andy, like just mid B pops up for his singer. - Oh no, I'm long done with the B. (laughing) - But I'm not gonna say what happened until the end, obviously that's what everyone's waiting for. - Yeah, yeah. - I know, I've been trying to figure out what the fucking Wayne song was. - It's so weird though, because randomly, the little Wayne song was also called Karate Guy, but it was a totally different premise. - He didn't like to kick it. - Oh, interesting. - Same title, totally different premise. - Interesting. (laughing) - Mr. Dablinah, who does Mr. Dablinah?
- Yeah, Del, the funky homo singer. - Yeah, that's dope. - Well, I'm so impressed you knew that, Seth. - It came on like a mix, like a hip-hop mix. I was listening to you say, and it's so much fun. I can't believe you know that song. - That's genuinely really, this is so, so fun. Bob, maybe think of it, 'cause it is pronounced Bob. All right, so we're about to watch. We have not watched, I just had sex. But one listener wrote in, Quaid said, "I searched for the song and watched it in preparation for part two, and YouTube's first video result was an ad for a June 25th James Taylor concert." So according to the market group of Live Nation, if you like the Lonely Island ACON and parody raps about intercourse, you will love the harmonically rich and intricate melodies of sweet baby James. - Hey, that's true. - How many of you guys did two shorts with James Taylor? I can't remember. - So I believe it's why I do it by August, Alcena. - Oh, August, Alcena. - Yeah, I think I found it. Why I do it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. ♪ This is why I do it ♪ ♪ Boom, boom, boom, boom ♪ - This is right away. - Say it B. - One, two, three, four. - Three, four. - Oh, go, yes. - All right, go, go, go. - That's what it is to be. - This is our famous production! - Yeah! ♪ Get off my dick, let me know me ♪ ♪ That's a million bucks every two weeks ♪ ♪ I'm fucking on an actress ♪ - I don't think that's real sky. ♪ I'm pulling out my camera ♪ - Let's mash it up. ♪ I'm flexing stupid on these niggas ♪ ♪ And I like to kick it ♪ ♪ I'm a karate guy ♪ ♪ He's young ♪ ♪ He's young ♪ ♪ I'm so stupid on these niggas ♪ ♪ Mind your fucking business ♪ ♪ I'm boogling on me ♪ ♪ Niggas I do ♪ ♪ Don't show on these niggas ♪ ♪ Flying through the city with a band bitch for me ♪ - This is my karaoke song.

(laughing) - It's not actually the line I had to fuck up on there. - No, you're fun. - Do you think they turned on each other when they heard karate guy? 'Cause it was so much better. - Why didn't we just do that? - I told you! - August Alcina could have easily been like, "No, that's my beat, they can't use it." Like, I'm sure it had to get all the way to him to have him say, "Oh yeah, that's fine, let them do it." 'Cause it would be completely within his rights to not let us sample his song essentially to make a whole new song for sure. - Do you think Monty from Universal Republic had to like get on the phone and be like, "You gotta let this guy's August!" - I mean, the real question now is will he be rewarded in this moment and get a massive quimp, right? - Yeah, is there gonna be a quimp on the song, why I do it, featuring little Wayne? - Would you say he's an August gentleman? Is that something you'd say? - Yes. - Yes? - Yes. - Both of you. - Yeah, both of you are, man, I yes. - He wouldn't get it. - No, he would never. - No, that's not in my purview, he wouldn't dare. - You guys ready to rock? - Yeah, let's take a little look, see. - Totally. - All right, let's, I'm so excited. - This is just head sex. Sorry, did you know I wanted to do it? - I'm not going. ♪ Sometimes something beautiful happens in this world ♪ ♪ You don't know how to express yourself ♪ ♪ So you just gotta sing ♪ - Look at that beautiful sunset, that roof. Look how worth it it was, that roof. Look how worth it it was. We've got there exactly at the right time of day. Anybody else would assume we're on a green screen at this point. - This is not music video looks. Like I look, look at my hair. I'm wearing a sweater vest or something. - Not to wet the palette anymore. It's still 10x better than I wish it would rain, which will be my favorite rooftop shot for it's coming. - But here, the start where we stopped, which is it's the coldest day of the year, in like 12 years. And your manized faces are frozen. - Frozen solid. - Mine is bright red, and that's after the color correct. - Yeah. - I remember, I always have my shot list when I'm directing with a pen in my pocket, and I take great joy in crossing off shots as we get them. - Yeah. - And I remember taking off my glove, and I couldn't get my hand to right. Like it was frozen, it couldn't hold the pen. Literally, could not hold it. - I wish that segment could begin with Burl Eye. This is that claymation snowman from Rudolph being there. - Oh yeah. - Now remember, it was the coldest day. - Though it is not a music video looked at. Like we're wearing the wackest ear most. Every time I see it, I'm like, maybe it would have been worth it. It's just like really picked the shots and like take them off for one second. It's also crazy 'cause it looks kind of like green screen. Like the fact that we're on top of the MetLife building. - That's why I mean, anything else, this would be a big LED screen or a green screen behind you showing this, but we're just, that's just a real shot. - Can I just say one thing I busted you guys for the ear most, and a couple quaid said, like the ear most add to what makes it work so well, which is you guys are like dorky. - Right. - You're definitely dorkier than that. - It's a reminder you guys aren't like the fucking bone squad. - That's true. - You were like probably had sex once and you still where you're about to. - Yeah, that's fair. And that, you know, we did kind of want to split the diff. - Yeah, it's good, it's good diffs, but thank you so much for saying that. - Yeah, you're welcome. (upbeat music) - That smile on the planet this dude. - But Chrysler building right behind us so cool. - Yeah, also shhh. This Chrysler building are famously kind of litigious that they own the rights to their building being in stuff. - Do you think that they're going to sue us now? - Should we just throw in a quick ad so they don't burn us? - Chrysler Pacifica. - Hey. - That's what we were talking about. - We get many vans. - Yeah, yeah, that's what we just paid for it right there. - So the other thing I. (laughing) - You're just noticing how fucking cold my face looks. - Yeah, I'm just looking at Andy. - Me and, hey, kind of look very happy. Andy looks like he's gonna kill himself. - I didn't have to do the agony. It's just 10 below zero. - It's like somebody just told Andy, you know, in 15 years you're gonna be talking about this on a podcast. - Yeah. - And he's like, oh no. - He's like, no. - You can see that. - What I assume is the Hudson, but I don't know which way we're facing. - Smoke stacks, looking dope. - Yeah, but the other thing I remember, so we're up there. Obviously, we're blasting you guys with lights and these are big, heavy lights. And it's so windy and freezing. They're like, we can't have anything above like five feet up because it could blow off the building. - That's right. - Kill people down below because we are on, again, I think at the time the second highest building in all of New York City, and, you know, you can't have anything flopping off the side. And we had had planned to have things way up high to make things look different. I don't remember what. And this is getting towards the other things that had to go away up high. We're Andy Yormann, ACOT, which we will get to in a second. - Yes. - Can I just say it does seem like the making of this is like the negative image to the sensation of having sex. - Yeah. - It's also weird in filmmaking where sometimes you feel like people are being like nervous nowadays and you're like, it's fine. This was like, yeah, don't put the lights up high. It was like, this is so dangerous. - It felt scary. - I mean, look, they're at the edge of the building here. That was just happening. - It was just really scary. - Okay. (upbeat music) (laughing) - There they are. (upbeat music) - Can barely move. - I like seeing this one 'cause we can really see. So we built a platform so that you guys would be higher, which also feels dangerous. 'Cause if you go to the back of that, now you're over the balcony railing. - That's correct. - That's. - It'll advise. - It'll advise. - I can't believe they let us do it to tell you. - The big gust of wind would have been our end. - I'd love to look at a fan edit of this where every time it cuts through a three shot, your mom blows away. (laughing) - Now Keith, the editing and the energy of this really works and feels really intentional, but correct me if I'm wrong. Aeghan's face was so cold, he couldn't move his mouth to do the lyrics. So we had to really fudge together each shot to get like the shape of words. And then anytime he's not on camera, we don't have it, right? - Yeah. - In the course. - Every time he wasn't on camera, he put his head in the microwave. Was that what you meant? (laughing) - There was a little like, you know, on a roof where there's the top of the stairs, where there's one door where you can pop out. There was that and he would run back into it between each every day. To answer your question, Andy, correct. And I recall this was one of the earlier videos when cameras got to be 4K instead of 2K. In terms of the quality, we were like shooting in full 4K, but the show just, you know, broadcast set HD, so we don't need 4K. Ended up being one spectacular take of Aeghan, where he hit it all. And we end up using that for almost everything, cutting in and out of that same one to make it feel like coverage and energy. - Well, just to get nerdy for a second. HD quality is just under 2K, is that right? So basically the math is that if you bump in from 4K to, like you double it, you're still at 2K. - Yeah, we're still at full quality. As long as the focus was tack sharp. Yeah, you can blow it up 200% and still be at full quality. - Not to split hair's urine, but four minus two or four divided by two is not that nerdy. - I don't know, but I'm just talking to him. - It's so sharp though. It really is pretty standard. - The math is pretty, it's tricky stuff. This is mean it's still talking about.
- Well, HD is a little below 2K. That was where you were crossing it. - Yeah, that's the interesting part. - All right, we're open with seven minutes on your tiny, tiny wrapped band. It's like, hey, we might get a little nerdy. - Fair dues, my brov, my mate, my brov, fair dues. - Oh, it's so cool. - Cross the pond. ♪ I was like ways of the fire ♪ ♪ Have you ever had sex ♪ ♪ I haven't felt great ♪ ♪ It feels so good ♪ - We're down in Soho, I believe, or maybe Tribeca, but Price Oh, and just a cool apartment they found that we got to like a loft that we just got to use. - And it was cheap because it was no heat and no windows. - Both me and Andy in this video are heavily caked in makeup. - Yeah, he looks crazy right there. - Yeah, I look crazy in this video. Never been happy about it. It was that one first set up, it was way too much. It was someone we hadn't worked with before and it made me look like I had plastic surgery or something. - We loved working with these music video crews legitimately because we were so used to scraping by at SNL where we were still operating within the cracks of SNL, nothing like how it is now. So to have dedicated crew to us was always so exciting, but it meant that we were working with people we didn't know who might do something like that. - I think it's possible that I was like lately sick and/or hungover or tired or something and they were trying to fix that. - Yes, I think you were, yeah. - Yeah, you look like you might have a cold to me. - I think it's highly likely considerably around the roof that met life building in negative 20 degrees. And Andy has like no defenses against colds. - No, you know. - That's a fragile little flower, especially back then. - He's my ass curse. - This though, I do remember being totally comfortable. It was like just being in a really nice apartment. - Yeah, it was awesome. - It was a big space. - Yeah, we shot both of the bedroom scenes here. - Yeah, we just kind of turned around and used the other side of the same room. ♪ And I did it with my penis ♪ ♪ A girl let me do it ♪ ♪ It literally just happened ♪ ♪ Having sex can make a nice man out the meanest ♪ - Okay. - How did that happen? That's the day of the show, I think. So we've got John McEnroe being the before is, he's the meanest and then he turns into a nice man with two thumbs up. - That's right. - How? And for people like, what don't you get? - It's like you follow. - A lot of people listen on audio, Andy. Sorry, I forgot, we're new to this. I'm explaining it for the people of that. - Well, also you just like skipped past Blake's first shot. - Well, we talked about Blake last week a lot. - We did. - So what a little idea though, where I'm coming in singing and she realizes I've brought a music video into our bedroom and quickly covers up, which I think is funny. - Oh yeah, let's see. ♪ This girl, let me do it ♪ ♪ In literally just having sex ♪ - I've brought a music video into our bedroom. She's like, what the fuck? That is a surreal moment. - It is, you're right. - You think she wants to share with the world that she just had sex, but it turns out that she doesn't think that should be felt like. - Andy, this song is, you are talking to the camera and telling us that you had sex. So she is like, you clearly brought her, like a reality crew in, to be like, hey, so it just happened everybody, here's the girl, not a chill mood. - This is Megan. - But yeah, Mack and Ro, I mean, I'm sure it was just, we were thinking about who the meanest is, right? Or who would play as someone who's known for being angry. - How did it actually happen? 'Cause occasionally we put the feelers out to be like, you know, if you're around a crew, like can you just get us this shot real quick? - No, I guarantee you, it was through SNL talent and he was in New York and he just came down and we shot him on a green shot. But did we actually shoot? - We definitely shot him at 30 rock. - Yeah, so he just came by SNL and-- - That was the first of a few times we collabed. - Yeah, do you think you were doing never have I ever voice over together? (laughing) - Must have been that, or seven days in hell. - All right. - He plays heavily in seven days in hell. In theaters now. - And she is the best. - Yeah, this, I'm seeing Clifford in seven days in hell, double of future tonight. Am I local driving? - And me, I'm just gonna binge never have ever again. For those that don't know, Mackinay does the voice over of the main character who is a teenage girl and then Andy guests for a boy that's on the show, a teenage boy. And he becomes his voice over kind of like conscience, whatever you wanna call it, like his narrator for his episodes. - Yeah, love that show. Lang Fisher, that's the homie. - My kids loved it. They've watched the whole series more than once. And the best part is that when really emotional or huge climax scenes, no spoilers, but like there's a scene where people are gonna lose their virginity and it's under a poster for pop star. So whenever they're watching it and really into it, then they get taken out of it because it's the poster with all three of our faces. And I get, you know, hey, I'm right above the, that's me, I'm right above them. - I know there's a shouting myself out, but really I just wanna shout out Mindy, who friend of all, there's a poster of me in the dorm room of one of the characters on sex lives of college girls. - Is that true? - Yeah, that's how you know it's game of Thrones type fantasy that a college girl would have a late night. - You said that's my first poster. - But it meant a lot to me. - 'Cause I mean, that's awesome. - I really liked that show, great dip. - Well, Congrats, Seth, you just ruined it for us. - Yeah. - I guess I won't be watching that when I put everyone up on the walls in those shows. - Yeah. And also by the way, at least pop star had a poster. Like I don't even think like you can get a late night with Seth, my poster. I'm gonna look that up. - Yeah, you were like, can I get one of those? - Yeah, if you got a prop department, you can get one of those. - All right, yeah, this is a funny shout out.

We knew that that was a really flexible one. - It's the one in the treatment that we were like, nope, we did that somewhere else. - And just, I can't say again for a music video. You rarely see the city this gray and wet and empty. There's not another human being empty, gray wet, just like muted colors. - Yeah, and then I'm just popping out of the frame.

Like the fact that we had an actual music video crew and then this is just-- - Yeah, you're just wearing your clothes. - I'm just wearing my clothes and walking to work. - I mean, it's so regular. - And just to get back to what Seth said last episode, the overview, we want this to look and feel like a real Acon video.

(laughing) It does look very Eastern-block. - But like not on film. This is like how they used to do TV behind the anchor. - Yes, it just looks like he's doing a travel log show. He's like in Frankfurt any day. You walk around the city. (laughing) - If you go in early December, you can get a reservation. - Exactly, it's not the tourist time.

Let's screen-grab this, and if you were in the game in early odds, was this too handsy? - I remember it cost like $30,000 to put all those beetle juice trees behind you.

And the answer is clear. - It's confusing on two levels though, because are we implying that he had sex in the bathroom too? Oh, hey, didn't see it today. - I think that's the start of it, is we are implying. - So you had sex twice? - It's a new verse, yeah. - Yeah. - Whoa! - Well, okay, so now that's hella interesting. - I think that the whole song is celebrating one sexual encounter. - So it's the same sex, and now he's just continuing the thought but also during Yoram's verse in the chorus, he went to the bathroom, and now he's picking it back up. - Yeah, the women's room. - So maybe my thing is, you're actually such a dork that you have had sex, and now you're like, got like a little bit of brain fog, and you're actually only walked into the women's bathroom. - Brain fog? - I was hoping nobody caught it. - I just had sex with my brain fog. - All right, here we go. - Stumbling. - I said something like that. ♪ Nice of any girl ever ♪ - Are you at her house or your house, you know? - I think. - Just asking because of this kind of bear and seahorse or giraffe. - Giraffe, yeah, giraffe or the bandage on its neck. - Yeah, and the otter or bear here is getting an idea. - I gotta say that for your art podcast, yeah. - Okay. - This is in Central Park. - Central Park, yeah. - Now, did you think we went to Central Park being like, oh, let's go to this, or did we just go and go, we'll find something. - That would be a question for you.

And I was in my apartment with a roommate who didn't know him, and all of a sudden I heard that song, and I was like, "Why are you playing that song?" He's like, "I've always liked it."
and then literally this dude tapped me on the shoulder. He's like, "That's so dope." - Wow, that's really good. - Yeah, shout out to Doug Stradley. - Here's a tidbit. It's not SpaceX, it's the verb, bittersweet symphony. When Jonah Hill hosted, he wrote a sketch that didn't go to dress where it was just him and some friends and they'd rented a stretch limo for the night. And they're like, "It's gonna be the best night ever!" And then they start playing bittersweet symphony and then it keeps cutting to later and later in the night and the CD is stuck. It just keeps playing bittersweet symphony over and over again and they start going crazy. And every time he heard that song, I think about that sketch that didn't happen. - It's okay though, I'm looking at SpaceX. It's a little SpaceX too. Glasses-wise. - The glasses, yeah. - But we're fine. We're good. - You guys are thinking that Space Hog is about like someone who takes up too much room. Like you're hogging all the space as opposed to be poop snores and all that. - I think that's a different band. - It's a real problem on the subways. - Right, this guy's a total space hog. - Look at this space hog over here. - When they spread their legs, they're like, that's like the noise it makes as they slowly put their bag on the seat. - They almost called the band man spreader. - Right, exactly. - The best is how much we talked about space hogging and he was like, "Oh wait, it's the burp." (laughing) - No. The glasses are decidedly space hog-esque. - Okay, got it, got it. - You were engaged with Goholy and Craftsmanship. (laughing) Here we go. ♪ I'll be with my teen and my turtleneck sweater ♪ ♪ So this one's dedicated to new girls ♪ ♪ That let us fly around on top of them ♪ ♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪ - Did SNL do this effect for us? - No memory. - They did a great job. - Iconic frame, if you're on YouTube. - Yeah, yeah. - Iconic frame. - The sky-writing, also not green screen, which is crazy, 'cause it just looks very much like it is, but it isn't. - No, everything's real. - Was that one actually on the shot list, or did we come up with that one on the day? - Yeah, did we just get that shot? - I think we got it on the day. - We might have also just reframed a big wide shot and made it all sky and then done it later. - No, I think we did. - We definitely were still in the mode of like, you want specialty visual joke shots, right? - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, well with the cake and everything. - Exactly the cake and the sky-writing. - Not so much in your guys, Epic High Five. - Thank you for acknowledging. - I mean, we had to kind of pat it a little bit 'cause this song has less visual. (upbeat music) - Just 'cause, you know, you're always just looking at yourself. Go back to the last shot of "Acon Singing" and I'm just adjusting my ear muffs the whole shot. (laughing) (upbeat music) (laughing) - It's so cold. - Just like, huh, let's get out of here. - This crying shot of you, a tub of like crying. - She just wiggled. - One of them was quintessential Andy. - Yeah, Andy faces very much on the edge of not okay. We all know. And I've never looked more like a Simpsons character. (laughing) (upbeat music) - I think she might have been a racist. - And I think she might have been a racist. - Yeah, well, you're just like, hmm, that's a weird lamp covering. - A plan hood, just like, propped right up next to the bed. - Yeah, also very good instinct by all parties. Not to have our friend Jessica Alba in the two shot. - That's right, yeah. - This is the solo you were. - This was done without her there. I just realized that I'm playing our version of the post, but I should be playing "Destin' No One" so we're hearing laughs this whole time. - Walk is laughs. - Should we do another episode? - Yeah. (laughing) (upbeat music) - Oh, some sparklers that cost money. (upbeat music) - I'm the commissioner of the sex Olympics. - Yeah. - Why are you the top hat? - Top hat and sunnies. - Was that the day you went and shot your part in the Tom Petty Biopic? (laughing) - I like how you can see how cheap the sex Olympics sign looks. - Keep walking out of this frame and into the don't come around here no more video. (laughing) - Actually playing the same role as the commissioner of the sex Olympics and both. - Oh, interesting. - Got it. - Yeah. - These are the same Beetlejuice trees, but we moved them around a lot 'cause we spend that much money you try to get them in a lot of shops. - You gotta get as much use as possible. - We keep saying no fucking leaves, no fucking leaves. - Nothing says a fun and happy video. Look then just being basically in a cemetery. - Yeah. - The sex Olympics banner real, despite how CD looks, yeah. - 'Cause that looks less real than the sky rating. - I know. - That is definitely- - But it is real. - I mean, it's because of the font is so fake 3D lettering on the ass especially that it looks a little fake, but nope, we've really hung that. And they really had to pull those cables and shit. - Someone somewhere probably has that or it's in like a closet somewhere. - It's probably a Paul Rudd's house. - Is that a lot of her? - No. - Too embarrassed to hang it. - You guys both got gold medals. That's so great. - Yeah, congrats. - This certainly went down into the Space Olympics. (laughing) - What about the Space Hawk Olympics? Boo-ya. - Oh, now we're getting in. - Boo-ya. (upbeat music) - The fact that that's real is so crazy. - It's so crazy. - So key change. - Yeah, on the key change, but the fact that Akon just flew off the second highest building in New York to go even higher. - Yes. - So why don't you explain how we did it and what's happening? - So there's, it's a jib arm, right? - Giant jib arm. - Giant with like huge. - The kind of thing that you might see a construction worker on to like change a light bulb on a street lamp, like a basket. I don't know how we got it up there. Must've been a service elevator in pieces. - They had to like pull it with pulleys. - It was brought up in pieces through a freight elevator and then they built it up there. - On top of the MetLife building, on the windiest, freezingest day of the year. - And it's probably three in the morning at this point. - Yes. - It's even crazier than that though, because we got service elevators, right? There's one level. And then there's a level above that level. So they had to pull everything up with like pulleys and everything and then build it on top of the secondary level. It's so dangerous. - That's true. The elevator does not go to the roof. - Yeah. And then also that we were too scared to put lights high 'cause I could blow off the roof, but we put you guys high. - Oh yeah. - This was so scary. So he's on a little chair that's floating up. So the shot is the three of us and then he just starts to lift out of the frame. (upbeat music) - Now people are really, or even the girls. - Shot-in, gets everybody out their seat. Everyone's feeling good about it now. - Yeah, this feeling. - I don't want to be a huge drag as you guys explain how risky that shot was and all the pieces to it. Definitely when I watched it, I thought the camera moved and you guys just like knelt down. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Again. - But wait, let's see if any of the shots ended up making it clear what was happening. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (laughing) - All right, so one of me on the TV that I'm doing it, but it's not necessary. - Yeah, but you can't tell. But so we're loving Blake and Jessica getting into it and grooving. - Yeah. - I'm loving bag on his head, version dancing. - Yeah, yeah, that's good shot. - The Irish bar singing. We got all the people in the Times Square. Do you see they're all doing their waving their hands in the sky? - Yeah. - Like a concert back and forth. - A lot of little detail work to give it all the energy. - Yeah. - Well, if we didn't need me saying everybody's saying, we could have probably seen Acon rising all the way up. - Yeah. - And maybe that was a mistake. (upbeat music) - I want to tell my world. (upbeat music) - Alba, we're like whipping her ponytail in my face with Alba. - Back to Mac and Ro. Mac and Ro's back, yeah. And then what's next? - Keep on Times Square. Keep singing. Oh, we got, so we got our two producers rubbing our back shirtless. - Yeah. - So that's Rob Smith. And then I recognize his face, but I'm blanking. It's been so long. - It was Rob Smith's home. - Yeah, Rob Smith's friend. 15 years ago. - Rob Smith, we shot so many videos. It's Rob Smith. (upbeat music) - Right, so that's you, Andy, on yours. But again, we could just be faking it with the camera angle. So easy. - Yeah. - In terms of you. - Right there. - That's you on that thing. - That's me like 30 feet above the top of the roof of the building. - Yeah. - And like definitely after each take being like, holy shit, I swear I was about to die. - Yeah. - You're like, but tell me it was worth it, Keith. Tell me it was worth it. - And then so Keith, tell me, tell me how we shoot this a different way where you then could be like, it was worth it. - I mean, now you would just send a drone up to get the background and then we would just be on inside a sound stage. - No, but to do this for real. - No, no, I would practically. - Yeah. - How'd you be able to tell that it's real? I think it has to be a one or like the end of that Bjork video that Spike Jones did. - Right. - Either that or we had a secondary crane and that's getting footage of you. So it's spinning like as he's going up you're also-- - Problem is that the look of you having to be strapped to this chair is not cool looking. - Yeah. - So we can't go wider to like show, holy fuck, he's doing it because you'd be like, why is he sitting in a bizarre chair strapped in? - No, but you would've got more parallax though. So like if the one camera is going as he's going or sipping past it, it would look cooler. - If they're not attached to each other. - Yeah. - But still you would just think we faked it because of the nature of how tight it has to be. - Bjork, can I say something? - Yeah. - I was genuinely impressed by your use of the word parallax. - I was hit. - Thanks Andy. - I was like, nice. - Well, I was trying to make up for the whole two plus two is four things, so. (laughing) - But honestly, if it was a one or where you guys are walking on the roof and make sure you're safe.
And then at a certain point, we don't see how you get strapped in because we're in the same medium. And then all of a sudden you start lifting up and are flying. Then people would know it's real. Yes. But it has to be a one hour. It was also so weird because it was like you were strapped into the chair, which is supposed to imply safety. But then as soon as you're up there, you're like, the whole fucking thing's going to go over. So it's not going to matter. You're just going to get beaten up to this fucking chair and then fly off the roof. It was fun though. It was fun. Yeah. Got your blood going. Oh, there's the wide shot of that background that it was going to. Yep. And I'm guessing this is the last time we did a shot of us all just staring at this camera and nodding. Yeah. You know, never say never. We've got more videos to watch. And I remember you guys, remember you made a big deal out of it the next Monday. You were like, hey, we're not going back to that well. Don't ask. Just just look down the lens and nod anymore. Okay. We're out on that. We've grown as artists. And maybe put 2% less makeup on us. We did use to, as we were developing our style, say, okay, if it's a joke shot, we always make sure we get it in slow motion, not saying the lyrics. So you have a break from watching somebody say words to you, but you definitely see that employed here with tons of shots like this one and the cake and the high five. You know, where if it's a joke, you know, all the ones of the crying over Blake or whatever, they're all slow mo and they're all without lyrics being said. Keith, is there is there a certain speed of slow mo that you like for these kinds of shots? What are we shooting at? 60? Would it? I feel like we would always go way slower than we needed to and then realize we needed to speed it back up. Like 48 never seemed slow enough. So we would do 96 and then we'd get that and realize we had so little time to show what happens that we'd end up speeding it up some. And what about the parallax? Yeah. What about that parallax key? The parallax of view. Yeah. I love parallax. You know, you feel the background going one way. The character's going to be a fun thing. If you shoot at 30 frames and then speed that up, like if you use that as the slow mo, it gives this really nice, just a theory a little something. So. Yeah. That is a nice little tidbit. Very nice. All right. This, again, everyone's heard us talk about how we didn't have the like crews that they have today with VFX people and stuff, which we didn't. There was no way for us to get this shot done. It's way more complicated than you would think. Obviously, there's nothing they just did this pose and we said, no, we put fireworks and I was like, how? Because you need the fireworks going at the exact right angles for the shot and the exact right ways and it wasn't just putting it like no one could figure it out. And the Katy Perry firework video had come out earlier that year or maybe the year before and was just a huge deal. And if you recall, fireworks come out of the chests of everybody in that video over and over. They say, you know, million dollar, whatever cost Dave Myers, who is the biggest music video director ever directed huge video. So I was like, how did they do it? And I called, called Dave Myers production company. He had or has a video production company called Radical Media and I knew that and I called the front desk and just explained who we were and that we were at SNL and we were on a super tight thing and I need to get to Dave Myers to ask him how he did the shot ASAP. And she said, hold and basically got me his email, like got permission to give me his email. And I called email Dave Myers and he was like, wrote back pretty quickly explaining that it was a company out of Texas that did the VFX work and that they had gone to Budapest and shot for two nights, different fireworks going off for the plates over black. Like that's how much money they had where a team could just go out and shoot fireworks. So they had all this stuff. And so then he got me in touch with them. This is all within like 48 hours of the video coming out and I'm talking to these guys in Texas, explaining what we're doing and they're super down to help. Just God bless them. Like, that sounds so fun and cool. It's SNL. He sent us the shot. So we found the shot way before we had even edited the video and I sent them the shot and they went back into their hard drives and found the plates from Budapest and made us this shot and gave it to us on like Saturday afternoon. So fucking nice. So nice. So generous with their time. Yeah. So I remember we sent them a bottle that they I asked them if we could pay and they I don't think we paid them anything. They were like, no, we're good. It was just for fun that we love like it was cool and I think we sent them like a bottle of champagne with a big thank you. I love stories like this. When Akiva gets super motivated to just track some shit down figures out an idea is like that we got to get exactly that makes it happen like and again, like he's talking about in 48 hours. This is not like it's like to do all that within the time that we have. These are people that I would assume don't work on Saturdays, generally. Oh, no. Yeah, that's amazing. Can you go back to 153 somebody wrote something that I was curious about. So it's when Andy puts his headphones up. Their question was it looks like it's in reverse. Like the way your hood comes up, they asked, is this shot played backwards? Because your hood flips up so fast it looks like it's coming down. Just watch it again. Oh, the hood just like flips up in a weird way. Yeah, it is your hood, right? To get warmth. Hey, Keeve, I figured out the name of the company that gave you the fireworks radium, a real VFX company from Dallas, Texas. Yeah. So shout out those guys. This is very nicely. Yeah. That does ring the bell as they say. Yeah. It's just a hood flipping up. The way it flips up, I can see why they asked if it was played backwards, which clearly wasn't. But that thing goes flying up. Yeah. We got to get into the footage. Yeah. But we definitely do not do anything backward. That'd be impossible for us at that point. It's not impossible, but you know what I mean, like with these two guys moving forward, because I was going to say what if we had split screened Andy and put him in, but there's no way with all the, yeah, parallax. Thank you. That would be good. Use the logic. They parallax a lot. There is no way, though. Oh, yeah. Now that you're not credit for it, he's just going to keep going back to the parallax. Well, you guys have been saying the way that the background is genuinely parallaxing. There's no way like we would have been able to like cut Andy out. And if we did cut Andy out, we wouldn't have put in a version of Andy where he's fucking with it. Ear mouse. Anyways, good question, but no, you guys, the caterer just got here for round two of the party. So oh, oh, it's like, and then tomorrow come on by for some brunch. I got, I got to blast some tunes, too, because these jokers look like they're not having a good time. I just want to point something out. Seth just texted me that he got Queen B during the pod. Oh. Fascinating. No. Well, because it was running up and I was close. I was close and I felt like I could get it. Guys, is there any truth to the rumor that he requested you guys change it to the Lorngley Island? That's actually in the documentary, Lauren, now on Pika, oh, he says he wants it to be the Lorngley Island. Yeah. It's just footage they had just the moment he asked. Oh, and then there was like that six minute scene where he's like talking to the rest of the staff. Like, should I even mention it? Is it dumb? Right. Because people, they already put out one album, it will be confusing. All right, hey, Jack Black seconds in. One hint. What? Not the beat. Because you didn't have a copy. You didn't have a copy. Can I guess the word? Yeah, guess the word. Log role. Yes. Log. I was my last one. So that was your last one, but you used hints, obviously. So many. Log role. I was clean, quibi clean, clean B, and then couldn't get a log role, had to get the know that it was an L. Yeah. Andy, do you ever, when you do no hints, do you ever say to yourself, no stems, no seeds, no hints? Oh, like Lauren, no. But I will now. Okay. That's a good one, isn't it? Yes. Yes. Did you get nice? I will. I'm going to go poolside and then I'll see if I can get solid today, but I'll lean in nice. I mean, you worked real hard. You had a wedding and fireworks and all of a sudden I think that's the thing. I still do not know where my phone is, guys. That's all. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to do the B when you don't have a phone. So I guess we can't do like a future or a until we know for sure you get nice. Right. You're reducing me a nice. I usually get solid, bro. Yeah, but when you got nice, he went, that's a nice solid. Oh, that's a nice solid. He doesn't say it's a solid. I could ask Sasha to send us a solid. Isn't it nice? One word. I will tell you the biggest burn I got yesterday was that I didn't get non-word as one of my words because the amount you're like, well, that's not a word. Why? Oh, yeah. There was a crossword day. I mean, not really, but there were three that could have been shout out to us. Well, one was Bay Area Airport code, but then it was the SFO. So that's not that's not going to slap in your face, right? I think any reference to the Bay Area is a winter soldier. Okay. So we have there's three winter soldiers in this. It was Bay Area Airport code, blank recall. I saw that. I was like, oh, they winter soldier again. And then my Bay Area, which is rival of a Raven, and it was Steeler. I did see Steeler. So that's kind of triple, triple wind. Yeah. They're up in our heads. Um, well, this is just a delightful. We all buccas, we all buccas. Look at that. I mean, real, real strong part two of just had sex and, uh, hey, by the way, Happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day, Jess. Happy Father's Day. We all had sex. I might take the kids to Costco. Oh. That's traditional. Do it up. And Keith, before we go, any, any message for your ops? Just give me another shot, guys. I'm alright. I love you guys, love you, guys, later Arnold, later quates, later ghostface, later quates.
later Jack. Later quads. Later Jack doing ghostface. Later quads. Later O'Brien. So you do remember my name.
