Listener Q&A Episode 8

It's the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast. All right, show of hands, whose Christmas tree is up? You're noticing no one's hand went up. Yeah, nobody. Liz just is doing it downstairs. That's why I thought of it. Oh, pictures for proof. You got to give us proof, Keef. Oh, my God, yes. Pictures for proof. Also, Keef, we were texting. You, me, and Andy were texting, and we talked about you sending a picture of you shirtless. You never did. You never sent it. That is weird. To prove that I was all mammal. I mean, it's not my words. That's right. You and Redman. We want to know. Lift up my shirt, all mammal. You know, everybody knows that reference on our pod, right? Yeah. Have we talked about it before? Why is that my favorite line of all time? And then, Joram, you also love it. It's fucking great. It's very good, but is it also just because you're a human, you're obviously a mammal, taking off your shirt proves it more? Well, no, because that's because that's where your nipples are and that's where you would breastfeed. I'm just like, if he's sick and you lift up his shirt and he was amphibian, you know? Yeah. If he was kind of like in a Waterworld sitch with gills or something on his neck. Wait, what amphibians have this? So they don't have anything, right? They don't have nipples, certainly, right? Do amphibians have nipples? No, I don't believe they do. Because they don't do any breast stuff. Listen, whenever we get into things that are just science-backed, we get clowned in the comments. So let's just. You know Seth's not here. As soon as we get into talking about science, you know Seth's not here. He's not here. Yeah, well, he's anti-science, kind of flat-earther type. Yeah. Anybody who's watched his nightly talk show knows that. And Keeve, pun unintended, that's on God. Right. And that's on God. Yeah, that's just something I say. It's not because of what you were talking about. So Yoram had a big. He has something that needs to be addressed because. Yeah. There's been a lot of chatter that he's been faking the whole thing. I did see that, that there were some people coming out on Eric Andre's side of things, that I was maybe a fucking gold-bricker, as they would say. And Big Lebowski. Uh-huh. You care to elaborate? What are you trying to get, just because you get off on the sympathy? First of all, I did fall off a ladder, and I did break my pelvis, you guys. So that guy, that doctor you did the whole thing with was a paid actor? No. That was my actual surgeon. You know you're in good shape when you have to clarify that you didn't lie about that. You guys. You guys. But it's maybe speaking to something bigger, Yoram, which is like. I don't want to call it an intervention that me and Keeve need to do. But perhaps the way your lifestyle is now being conducted is antithetical to the amount of sympathy you have garnered for your injury, which is clearly fake. I don't know why I thought this was going to not leak out. He's getting on stage and singing Rage Against the Machine, dressed like B.B. All right, so let's just back up a little bit. So for those that have no clue what we're talking about, you can Google. It's on, you know, Rollingstone.com. It's on, you know, Rollingstone.com, et cetera. Anywhere on Instagram, et cetera. You know what, Keeve? Rollingstone used to be a magazine. All right, go on. Oh, I meant Rollingstone Bands Instagram. Oh, it's just it's on their merch page. Yeah. Keeve is the one that wrote the post. He signs them if he writes the post. He's always shitposting. He's like, bros. Yeah, he's like, yeah, he loves shitposting. Oh, Keeve loves it. Him and Johnny were, you know, deaf, of course. Anyways, listen. Back to trying to explain to nobody knows what we're talking about yet. Portugal the Man, which is a band, had a show in Brooklyn. Yeah. And Yoram got on stage. Well, I was asked to do this. I didn't just like do it on my own accord. Yeah, we'll back up to that. But just to give what the audience saw, they watched an entire show. It's towards the end. Weird Al is there and has done something. I don't even know because the video just has him in the background. He sang Live in the Moment. He did like, he's done remixes of that show. Portugal the Man is not a joke band, by the way. They're not a spoof band. They're a real band. But just clarifying that. Because it seems like we're in some sort of like. Yeah, they did a song called Feel It Still, which my brother produced. Yeah, it was a big hit. That's the one that goes, how does it go, Andy? I keep my hands on myself. It would be so funny if we sang it and then they sued us. Hit me with the chorus, though. I'm a lover, yes, for kicks, man. Man, I'm not a lover, yes, for kicks, man. Yeah, that one. And I said all the time, I don't feel it still. When I feel it still. Very good. Anyway, Yoram did the low version at the end, probably. Yeah, well, yeah, I thought we were going to do it. We're going to do it together. Yeah, sort of resolved. Yoram got on stage towards the end of the concert, dressed fully as Pee Wee Herman, doing a Pee Wee impression, did a speech, a little bit, just talked to the audience as Pee Wee. Yeah, I came out and kind of talked like this for a second. I think people are really into it, because people love seeing comedy at rock shows. Especially when it's got no connection to the band or explanation. Were you introduced? No, because backstage we didn't work out how I was going to come out on stage. So I just came out and was like, Wow, that's incredible, huh? What are you guys thinking, portion of the land? I can't hear you. So just the weirdest thing. I mean, it is a good Pee Wee. I'll give you that. Oh, hi. Sorry. Hi. You all right? Got a little. Yoram, I don't know who that is, but you have to shut them up. You have to shut them up, dude. This is a professional. We're recording the podcast, the most important thing in our lives. You think on Armchair Expert, Dax's kid just comes out and starts yapping? No. He goes, no, he snaps at them. Shut the fuck up. Jeff, you do Armchair Expert, right? Jeff? Not directly, but I'm familiar. Oh, I thought your company does? Rob does. Keith, he wishes. Rob does. The other, Jeff and Rob, there's two of them over there, and Rob does it. Touch the nerve. He's like, oh, Rob got that one, and I got this stinky piece of shit. Oh, that's Rob. I got this fucking. Touch the nerve. Unlike some people, he's willing to have guests and be on camera. Hey, Dax, so we got this other pod. Me or Rob are going to have to jump off. Rob was thinking maybe he'd jump off. Oh, you want me to jump off? No, that's fine. It was a flip of a coin anyways. It was just I live closer to. No, Dax? Oh, that's cool. That's cool. Was that it, Jeff? Pretty close, yeah. No, no, no, that's good, though. You take that one. You take that one. You take that one. You take that one. Oh, the one that has Brad Pitt and Michelle Obama coming on? No, no, no, no. I'll do the one where they get voice notes. Yeah, from Rob Klein and John Solomon. The best writers ever. I'm going to disparage you. You're a lucky man, Jeff. I'm happy to be here. Oh, boy. Anyways, but then to make it weirder, so Yorm's up there. He's doing this whole comedy speech. Yeah. And mostly improv-ing. I tried to keep it tight. I knew people were probably questioning what was going on. And then the band comes on and starts playing Killing in the Name of. Well, no, we threw to it. We did throw to it. We said, you know, like, maybe we could do one last song for you guys. And then we. And here's the thing. John had said, the lead singer of Portugal, had said that it might be fun if we did Rage Against the Machine, Killing in the Name. And then we were like, ah, he was like, no, but we don't need to. And then as soon as I was doing, like, the peewee impression to myself, just being like, what am I going to say? I was like, oh, man, it's pretty, it's already weird that I'm coming out. I think we got to go, go even weirder. It's a nice transition because, well, you know what my fear was, Yorm? I could see everyone's revving up to play. Yes. And I was like, oh, no. They're going to push them off the stage. No. I thought they were going to play tequila and you were going to start doing the peewee dance. Oh, it was so much better. And I was like, and I was like, if he starts doing the peewee dance, he needs to be like, like a werewolf when there's a full moon. Yeah. Like locked in, like locked in a cage. Yeah, in a straitjacket. I did do a tiny bit of it, but I didn't do any, like, feet movement. But yes, it was. But regardless, it was a strong choice of 10 days post being able to walk on two feet for the first time in three months to go dressed up as peewee. And do that and play like a pretty raucous rock show. That was not to overstate it, but like just thinking about you getting into the clothes makes me nervous still. Yeah, I'd say that was the most nerve wracking part. And then and then I had like visions of being like, there's cables on the floor. The most nerve wracking part is the getting on stage and dancing to a Rage Against the Machine song. Yeah, that's the most nerve wracking. He's singing and not being like everything in your body being like stage dive, stage dive. And then I got a mosh. But then not doing it. It's really cute and adorable. And you're very cute. And it's very funny. But also, like, it does seem insane. I agree. I agree. We're going to do an intervention. I do feel I feel like you're sidestepping it. We are going to chain you up after 8 p.m. when everyone goes to sleep. How are you, Keith? That is pretty good. Thank you. All right. Well, I guess I'll start writing your eulogy. Now, we're not really going to watch this whole thing, but Andy hasn't seen this part of the thing. So I'm just going to play. That's right. Hey, Mr. Pee-wee Herman. Yeah, that Pee-wee. I got a question for you, Brooklyn. What do you think of Portugal, man, huh? Yeah. So when I saw this video for the first time, too, with no explanation, you just see Weird Al back here just like hanging out. And I'm just like, what? And you're like, what kind of show is this? Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, where's Jorm's catheter or colostomy bag or whatever? Exactly. Where is he hiding? He's hiding it in the suit. Yeah. This guy's about to shit his pants and no one knows it. That's not part of the bit. I'm not incontinent, you guys. Actually, I really can't hear you. So I got to just hold on. I got to put it in my ear there. It's a little whack. Okay. So you're doing a bunch of Pee-wee and then I'm going to get to the song for now. So I was kind of thinking, maybe we could just sing one more song? That's a good Pee-wee, Herman. You guys ready? Yeah. Johnny, you ready? All right, well, let's do it, huh? A one, and a two, and a one, two, three, four. Can we stop? It is so surprising. It's not your fault, Jorm, but it was funny that you said, a one, a two, a one, two, three, four, pause, and then he goes, one, two, three, four. And the real guy had to do it on tempo. I didn't have the right tempo. You didn't have the right tempo. I guess fuck me. And guess what? We didn't work out any of this. I know, that's why I'm saying it's funny. I'm not blaming you. It's just objectively funny. A nice, nice detail. Nice detail work. Jorm, you're already moving way too much for my care. Yes. My liking, I should say. I mean, I don't disagree. Yeah, you're definitely moving your feet, by the way. Yeah, you're dancing. I was allowed to. My doctor said I could. Bending at the waist. Yeah, I went a little harder later, too. Boy, oh boy. Well, okay, so the other part that I really enjoyed about this is that our friend Keith Murray, who is in a band called We Are Scientists, Keith did a music video for them many years ago. Three, I think. Three? Oh, sorry. Three? Was it three? I'm a better friend. I knew it was three. Thank you, Andy. I knew it was two, but I didn't know. But Keith came, and I gave him my phone before I went on, and I was like, hey, I'm going to do a little bit on stage. He's like, what are you going to do? And I was like, just watch it. And then afterwards, he was like, that was so much weird. It was bigger than I expected it to be. He was just like, I can't believe you made me film it, because he was like, I just wanted to experience it. He was shooting this video. He did a really good job. Yeah. Well, great job, Yoram. I'm glad you didn't have to go to the hospital. Yeah. Apologies to all the people that were concerned, including my wife and you guys. And, you know, sometimes you just got to make choices, you know, or bad choices. Yeah, and so how did you feel after? I felt like I was, oh, God, what age would I say I was? 65? 75, 70, when I was, like, hobbling my way into the Uber. But you didn't feel like you had done any lasting damage in any way? No, no, no. All of the stuff that I'm doing now is, like, it's just that a day later, I'm very, very sore. I don't feel like I'm doing any, like, actual damage. It's just that I'm extremely weak. I do like imagining you checking in with your doctor and your PT, and you're like, all right, so you're four months into your recovery. That means you can do light walks around the neighborhood. You can stand up, walk around your apartment. You can do killing in the name of with Portugal the Man and Weird Al, if you want, as Pee Wee Herman, of course. It would have to be that. Otherwise, it's not safe. Yeah. Do not do the tequila dance. You can do rage, but not tequila. Okay. No tippy toes, because we all know once you start, you'll go on those toes, and your toes are not ready. All right, well, I guess we're, that sounded like a broken record, but I'm glad you're okay. Yep. You got it, guys. No worries. Here's my advice. Keep pushing it. You'll never know where the line is until you step over it. No, I'm fine, guys. Don't worry. Yeah. Don't do what I just said is the point. I'll try not to. No, no, I'm figuring it out. All right. Well, so Seth was- Seth was kind enough to bail and go to Europe. Yeah, so Seth is in Europe. He's in London, foggy London town. He just did the Graham Norton show, which is always great when you see clips. He did it with Andy's co-star, Kate Winslet. Yeah, some would say my best friend. I think she would say that. Yeah, why don't we get a voice note from her real quick, Andy, and say, hey, just send her one, explain what the podcast is. Yeah. You don't think she listens every week? I mean, as best friends, she's aware, but I think I'd probably just hit up her assistant about that. Okay. Maybe hit the pub, hit the publicist. I don't want to bug her. I just don't want to bug her right now. I'm just not about this. She's pretty into it. I could, though. I could. She goes pretty in-depth on set, and I know she's shooting. She's pretty much shooting 24-7, so. Can you not find it on YouTube already? Has it aired? No. He's on today, so it might not have even aired yet. Oh, it hasn't happened yet. I was just curious if there's somewhere where you can actually just watch Graham Norton episodes here. Maybe BritBox? I don't know. Maybe they want to send us some free stuff. I'm just curious if there's a place in L.A. where I can go and just let my hair down and be myself for once. Wow. Do you feel judged? We're talking about things we're just curious about. Do you feel judged? Do you feel judged when you go out, Andy? Huh? No, dude. Is that why your hair's always up? Yeah, I'm always putting my hair up in a tight bun. I don't feel comfortable. I told you guys. I don't feel comfortable here. Why don't you just let your hair down, Andy? I can't do it here. That's why it's in a bun. I just love coming here, so I can let my hair down. Anyway. I think that's a good episode. Should we cap it? Yeah, all right. I think that was a pretty good ep. Later, Arnold. Later. Wait, no, I say that. Okay, so here's some of the things that he sent me notes on. One, circling back to the New York Times games. We're not calling for Jack Black yet for you, Andy, because we need to keep our listeners. Yeah, are these Seth cheat codes about what we're supposed to talk about? Because we're children? Yeah, well, no, it was helping me out. Listen. No, we're clearly all very responsible. Yeah, cool. Okay, go ahead, Keith. A little teaser. Stay tuned, because we will be revealing if Andy got spelling bee today or not. I won't give anything away, so stay tuned. Now, spanograms in strands, the New York Times game strands this week. Oh, yeah. When we were together, Andy, you were like, look at this. It was like a boss. That's right. The spangram. Now, Seth points out in the opposite direction was a few days previous, the spelling bee wouldn't accept doink. Yeah, so that is a counterpoint. That is a counterpoint. Yeah, so I guess they don't like us. But I was the clue in the main crossword also last week. Yes, and was it? Was the Sandberg of Brooklyn Nine-Nine? No, that was the mini, but I have been in it twice recently. Right. This is all just to the conspiracy theory that they're talking to us. Right. The November 16th mini was two clues in a row. One was Sandberg of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Yeah. And then the very next clue was, see what I did there? It was blank what I did there for the word see. It's a conversation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What if they do start actually communicating to us through the puzzle? It's more like kill yourselves. Yeah, it's to kill something. I don't know. Kill something. Kill yourselves. That's what we're sleeper cells for. They're finally going to act. They've done years of brainwashing on a high level. We don't realize that we've been. And then they're going to finally trigger the sleeper cells just for us to just. Oh, fair. That doesn't sound. Just jump off a bridge. Yeah, that doesn't seem really worth it. It's a lot of work. It's usually for something bigger. If you watch Manchurian Canterbury or Telefon. Yeah, they sleeper cell us to then just like walk in a little circle in the corner. For real, though, I always do think we're like winter soldiers or something. The three of us. Say more about that. It's just like we're like Sebastian or Chris Evans. And we're like, we're like muscly and handsome. Right. I'm always like, why? We're not using these muscles for anything. Are we sleeper cells? Are we winter soldiers? Oh, I see. We're like post serum wimps. Yeah, well, the winter soldiers are like this, right? Someone calls and reads us like an Edgar Allan Poe poem on the phone and we're triggered into action. We don't even know what we're doing. Activates them, yeah. Yeah. We're like, uh-oh, activated. It would make sense why we're all so sure at it. We're not even going to know when it happens. Because it's just going to be like the eagle flies in moonlight. And then one of us is going to fucking do something nuts. Do shit crazy. And then we get back together and we're having like our mojitos. And we're like, oh, my God, we're such super soldiers. We're such winter soldiers. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It is the season. Oh, my God. I can tell I'm a winter soldier. I woke up with like bloody knuckles. Oh, my God. Just looking in the mirror, I can tell I'm a total winter soldier. Should we get some apps? Do you ever wake up in the morning and you're like, what? What did I even do last night? I'm such a winter soldier. I know it. I need to be locked up like Yorma. Because after 8 p.m., it's like I'm so tired when I wake up. I know I must have done something last night. I probably assassinated someone. Like bruises all over my shoulders and chest. I can't remember anything. Like, uh-oh, I winter soldiered again last night. At brunch, if you catch the three of us at brunch, we're fucking so tired. And we don't know why. And we're complaining about our bodies. Hurting. Our cut bodies. Yeah, sure. Some people could say it's just because you're getting old. Or you shattered your, exploded your pelvis. But it feels extreme. No, but it's definitely not that. It definitely isn't. Because I can't remember the fall that well, guys. Because we used to go to brunch and feel fine. And now when we're at brunch, we're like, we feel like shit. And it's like, we were winter soldiering at night, for sure. You had the latter fallen septid winter soldier. Yeah, they had to. They had to give him a reason. They're like, oh, fuck. He really fucked up himself on his winter soldier thing. He's remembering something. Yeah, we got to implant some other memory in here. Make it something normal, regular, but, you know, a little offbeat. Anyway, so then, Andy, you're saying there was also in the New York Times main crossword that you did show us. I just don't know what day it was. Another clue. Yeah. And it was another one where the answer was Andy. But it was, I was very proud, by the way. It was Griffith, Kaufman, and Sandberg of television. Ah, there you go. And I was like, damn, that's pretty good company. I just like that. I like the phrase, like televisions, right? Like your televisions, like television owns you. Yeah, you're the Mount Rushmore of television Andes. Yeah. You know who was pissed about that? Andy Dick. Cohen. Oh, Cohen, yeah. Well, he's got his own thing. He's doing fine. He's also of television. Yeah, he would have fit right in. But I guess the other ones that I mentioned were all on sitcoms. That is more in common. Yeah. Beloved classic sitcoms, I guess you could say. I wouldn't. No, you're not that guy. Three equally good and beloved. beloved sitcoms that will stand the test of time an equal amount you would say where did the andy griffith show take place wasn't that what the name of the bro that shit was on mars brother shots fired do we gotta get a voicemail from andy griffith see if he was insulted by that oh keith oh oh no it's fine oh yeah it was in mayberry got the cable hooked up all

oscars knowing that schindler's list won beck's picture do you stand by that for the same year i think that's what it's implying uh because they know you're not going to go against your boy liam so

turnbuckles is the one at the top tippity top yeah well let me just say that beth you came in top turnbuckle and that is the best video that we've seen uh ever to us i guess i mean i don't think we need to rank them that's fair that's fair i was that was cruel hello lonely islands and seth myers this is from matthew uh on the most recent episode andy very casually references the 1975 tv special really rosy it is unremarked on by seth and akiva so i don't know if they understood the reference or not my three-year-old son is huge into maurice sandak books and the tv special and the soundtrack with the songs by carol king we have the record and we listened to it i don't really know anyone else who's familiar with so it really caught me off guard when andy made mention oh well matthew first off let me just say thank you for that and um i'm sorry for what quentin tarantino said about you i thought that was completely out of line and uncalled for i think you're an incredible actor so you know keep your chin up keep your head up that's really kind of you so you're assuming matthew lillard wrote this yeah isn't i feel like that's implied no So I think your guess is as good as mine. I think it feels like a safe assumption. assumption. Have you ever heard of another Matthew? I haven't. Anyway, so Really Rosie is something I have two older sisters and I grew up listening to that nonstop. We were a big Carole King family, as I know a lot are. And yeah, you know, I know those songs real well. I guess these guys either were like, yeah, that's such old hat. I'm not even going to comment on it. Or they just didn't know what the reference was. No, I didn't know. He has a follow up just question, which is, do you listen to it now or watch it now? Because he can't find it in decent quality anywhere. I have not attempted to find it, but I have listened to the music since having kids again. Got it. So we'll just put this question to the Quades. Yeah. Because he's looking for the special itself somewhere to rent or hit us in the titties. Can you hook up that Really Rosie video? Little factoid guys. This part didn't air. But when I did Finding Your Roots on PBS, at the end, they tell you another person that like works in entertainment or in the public in any way that they through. Doing DNA testing have determined that you are whether vaguely or very are related to. And mine was Carole King. Really? Yeah. Wow. That's cool. So we might be like 15th cousins or something. But I was like, that's pretty awesome. Do you want to hear something more about Carole King? She wrote a song called Been to Canaan, which is about Canaan, Connecticut, which is where my accident happened. Guys, let's not forget. Was that what it was about? Because you've been there and it made quite an impression. No, it wasn't about a pelvis injury. One last thing on Carole King. I will say before being told that I have had people send me pictures of young Carole King being like, this looks like you in high school. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Have you ever actually looked at that? I'm looking it up right now, dog. Maybe someone can make us a nice side by side. I kind of feel like once you see it, you'll be like, it's not it's not like 100% wrong. It was like, was it clothing wise as well? Or just just face wise? Here, look at like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, she looks great. It kind of looks like your sister. And my hair was long. I mean, I look like my sister if she was a dude. That is not that's not far off, though, man. Well, yeah. Anyway, I'm sure we're related. I don't think we're like twins. That would make no sense. But we could be separated at birth. I'm just saying. Yeah. Well, Carol, hit us up. So you and Andy can go out to dinner. We get, you know, reacquainted. Big, big, big, huge fan. Love it all. Don't forget that I fell off the ladder, guys. And it's real. And it's real. And don't forget that I actually fell off the ladder. And don't believe Eric Andre. Yeah. And if you see me stage diving, ignore that. Then that's just what needed to happen. That's AI. The injury is the real thing. Here's one from Mike. Hello, Quades. Happy to report that Yorm's Chaka teeth have been officially acquired by the Bay Area's own Game Boys with Z, purveyors of pop culture oddities and collectibles. Rest assured, these won't be used nefariously. They'll pair beautifully with Walter White's lobotomy scars. I guess that's something else they have. Or better yet, our 1995 Berkeley High School yearbook. We're like Rip Digman if he only hunted for weird shit. Digman! Quade Army and Style Boys for life. Love you guys. Mike. Oh, my God. That's great. Yeah, because on a crime scene, you could use the teeth to bite people. And then they'd be like, you know, that cannibal is definitely Yorm. I guess a Chaka did this. That's what they meant. Yep. Yep. Next question. Keeve, before we move on, thoughts on the Netflix purchase of Warner Brothers? It feels concerning, I guess. Yeah. Okay. I'm not going to ask Yorm because I know he has no idea it's happening. Well, the minute you say Warner Brothers, anytime anybody says Warner Brothers, I just think of E-40 saying Warner Brothers at the beginning of one of his albums. Warner Brothers. That's all I think of. And I think of the Animaniacs up there being kooky in their water tower. Get out of that water tower, you scamps. Totally insane. Okay. Hi, Lonely Island. Hi, Seth. So, first, I want to say that John Lutz seems like a perfectly nice guy who loves the Lonely Islands. Now, on to my issue with him. My family all live in a place immediately north of Tampa that's called Lutz, spelled the same as Lutz, but pronounced correctly. So, please tell Lutz he's been saying his name wrong. Okay. Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I have a question for Seth. Why do you keep visiting Hillary and Larry? but never schedule shows in new england also feel better yorm and i'm sorry andy but i'm not just great army i'm also team frisbee that dog is definitely worth more and how much you hated her okay well that was a question for seth but uh because he's so fucking selfish and not here he can't answer but go ahead andy you answer for seth yeah i'll answer it good uh really that's what you're gonna ask me thank you i think he's gonna have to jump on next week and answer that for real but that was a great um no yorm i'm not gonna answer the question i'm seth that's what he sounds like all the time that is a pretty good exasperated thanks thank you for the well wishes as well uh because my pelvis yeah which is not ai it's real this is a good way to beat beat the whole yorm is your pelvis feeling sora yeah good thanks um i'm gonna go walk off a bridge uh let's hit the next one let's see if this one's for us hi guys my question is about the curse and specifically wondering how you came up with the name sergio wondering whose idea it was or whether you you know pitched a bunch of names and that's the one that stuck or if he was just always a sergio from the beginning or if it's referencing anything um i really appreciated the blast from the past that was this short because when it came out i was studying music in college and it was a lot of fun and i really appreciate it i think it was impossible for a while there to walk through the halls of the music building without somebody with a saxophone turning around and going sergio so thank you for that wave of nostalgia and i'm a huge fan of the pod and have a great day oh my god that makes me so happy well thank you very much it looks like one more person gets added to the list of not being chuffed by the breaking of the line we're past this she didn't say anything about that she didn't say anything about that she just said it was nostalgic she didn't bring it almost sounded like it was just something that was beloved do you think she said it was nostalgic because it was reminding her of like bad home movies they used to shoot or something i think there's definitely a chance i think we have to assume that there's a chance talking about that like oh you know how things like used to suck because it was so amateurish it just reminded me of like videos we would take when i was like six years old and how the color correction was bad yeah guys i said it was good from the beginning um i thought of the name sergio and i don't remember why i think it was just it matched the look and thinking about ham saying that and that being what he yells was just was silly and funny just the guy with with with good chest hair uh but it wasn't like based on anyone or anything like that great answer we have to say that for legal purposes that was not based on anyone yeah it wasn't based on sergio leone who looks exactly like that good job pulling sergio leone that makes perfect sense this guy's so good with words so so good there's a guy named sergio on my soccer team for a couple years growing up i was listening to you guys talk about the closet organizer sketch with ham growing up in a little place called the bay area my neighbor over the fence in oakland was one george zimmer of the men's warehouse my idiot classmates used to come over and torture this poor man by yelling over the fence say it george say it george until he'd eventually have to come out of his house in his bathrobe and get to the fence and say i guarantee it to shut a bunch of eighth grade dummies up oh incidentally zimmer was pretty cool guy uh one of the biggest financial supporters for marijuana legalization at the time and also the oakland zoo anyway love the pod wow i love oh gosh that was a great thank you for just that factoid i guarantee it i guarantee what was the full thing you're gonna like the way you look i guarantee it yeah yeah and he would do these great local i guess ads i didn't know if they were local they could have been national got slicker by the end they got yeah he had a perfectly manicured beard it looked like he like used good product in his beard yeah menswear house is like a suit a place to buy a nice suit uh-huh he got younger over time and and you're gonna like the way you look you're gonna love the way you look i guarantee what a good guy though to like to be able to uh you know placate a bunch of eighth graders is fucking jeff saying they were national so maybe it started in the bay really me not now and then and then he got bigger well that would make sense why the ads got slicker it's funny i never thought about stuff like this when i was a kid you're just like there goes that guy who is selling suits but when you think about that his name is george zimmer and how he looks you're like oh he easily could have just been a rabbi oh guys to tie it back to what we're talking about the peewee suit that they got for me was from the menswear house oh so they definitely have them everywhere really yeah yeah and in nyc so yeah and did you get it in the peewee section or yep there's a whole peewee section and if you go there be sure to look out for that and get your that there that's that exists hi this is ed from baltimore again i know the last time you told me not to say that it was my third time but it is so i'm not a liar jk actually i'm a liar sometimes anyway um my question is how old were your kids when you started to let them watch snl my mom has to watch every single episode before my brother and i get to watch it and what are your kids favorite digital sorts mine are sushi glory hole And Ross Trent. And also, this is my favorite line from Ross Trent. Did you ever wonder why bald heads suck? Ding, ding, ding, ding. Ding dong, duck. Goodbye. Just kill it, Edie. Just please, please, Edie, just keep sending these. Please. It's so nice to hear from you. Wow. Day brightened. That's great parenting, watching ahead of you. Because I will say, my kids still, and they're older. But when they were younger, I definitely was more concerned with something random. It was curated. I just show stuff on YouTube to my 10 and my 5-year-old, who loves basically anything with Kristen Wiig. Denise is really big for my daughter, who's 5. And also the Oh No sketch. If you look up Will Forte, SNL, Oh No, they love that one. But it's all curated for me. I don't actually let them watch the show in its entirety. Yeah. One of my kids. I got very into the Wiig Penelope sketches and watched every one of them multiple times. Yeah, basically any Wiig character. Although they didn't really understand the Thomas character. That didn't go over. Give it time. Great. I should show them that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's Wiig's blood on the tracks. You got to put a little road behind you before you get it. All right. Let me see if I have anything else from Seth here. Put some road behind you. Oh, I love it. Is that an idiom, Andy? I don't know if that exact way of phrasing it. Yeah, it sounds like you sort of changed it a little bit, which so was an exact idiom. Yeah. That can happen to people, though. They can get it a little off, but people still get it. Oh, man. You're pathetic. All right. Jack Black, let's have the moment. Spelling bee. Spelling bee. Well, I'm afraid to say. I got it. Clean, clean, bitch. Yeah. Total misdirect. He was worried. What a Friday. What a gift going into the weekend. I weirdly was worried for a second on that one. I was like, oh, fuck. We're going to disappoint people. No, I got it clean. What did you use? I got to within two words and then found out that I was missing a six and a seven. Okay. Got it. So completely clean, clean, clean, squeaky clean. Right. But you had checked how many words were in there. Yes. Because that's just part of your thing. You go, all right, there's going to be 50 words or whatever it is. Yes. Then I found out I needed a six and a seven. Yeah. But then nothing past that. And then I got them without any other. Do you check how many words total just right off the bat every time? Or do you go kind of deep in? I try to go as far as I can before I look. Got it. And then, Andy, how long did it take you today? And what's the average? And this is going to bum me out because I'm sure it's maybe. It's tough because I kind of like, sometimes like, I mean, I'm slightly ashamed to admit, but sometimes if I'm up. I'll like stay up a little longer. And then when the clock strikes midnight, the new one posts and I'll do it until I finish. And that'll usually be like somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes. I mean, dude, if you need that dopamine to get to bed, I totally get it. Exactly. That's what Robin was talking about on her new single. That is true. Have you watched the video for dopamine? It's all spelling. It's all spelling. It's like these weird bees floating around and someone and someone in the background keeps doing the Travis Scott solid thing from last week's show. But other times I'll be doing. It's sort of periodically throughout the morning and then like, you know, have to stop. But would you say 40 minutes, like if you were in a clock? It depends on the day. I mean, some days there's like, you know, 60 something words and it takes way longer. Okay. And other days it's like the total number of points is like 80. And you're like, oh, well, this is not going to take long. And then it doesn't. Okay. Follow up. Follow up. When you see like an ING, are you like, oh, great. Or are you like, oh, great. Or do you not think like that? I think. Usually that means it's going to be easier or if there's ED, because then you get a word and then you do that word with a D and ED at the end, et cetera. Erectile dysfunction. But. Walked right into it. My last word today was biennia. Which is a word that you knew. Yeah. From the B. Gotcha. What does it mean? Exactly. It means exactly. Yeah. Gotcha. They don't. Remember, they don't care about what words mean. They just care that they exist. Right. Oh my God. It's a specified period of two years. He definitely just looked it up. I absolutely did not. That's like how long we've been doing this pod. Have you? Exactly. This episode. For like a biennia. It feels like a lot more than a biennia. This episode feels like a biennia. Feels like two biennias. I'm assuming there's no word for four. Again, apologies for my low energy. I was just winter soldiering all night and I just have no memory. I know. You've got to excuse us, guys. It's okay. We were very likely all winter soldiering our little buns off last night. Yeah. That's why our elbows and knuckles are so scraped. Exactly. You should see the other guy. I mean, I don't know what they looked like because I have no memory. We don't know, but if you see them, if you see a bunch of beat up guys, we were there. The body remembers. Sometimes your mind doesn't remember, but your body will always hold that memory. Yeah. Honestly, I might just get a green tea, you know, to replenish. Oh, that's such a great idea. Antioxidants. From all the winter soldiering. I might just get some more of that serum if I could find it, you know? Oh my God. Yeah, for all our winter soldiers out there, green tea, great way to replenish. For all our winter soldiers. Winter soldiers of the Quaid Army. Quaid Army, winter soldier checking in. I think generally speaking, what we've learned here is if you're feeling extra sleepy, it is acceptable to tell someone it's because you were very likely winter soldiering the night before. But you can't prove it and neither can they because part of it is that it's very clandestine. They'd be like, prove me wrong. I easily could have been. And when I said very likely, I do believe that. That's right, yeah. Oh my God, I'm so sorry I'm late. I overslept. I was very likely winter soldier. I woke up so tired with bruises everywhere. Prove me wrong, prove me wrong, prove me wrong. But still hire me though. Still hire me. It's a job interview now. And it's interesting that it's the New York Times games that triggers us for our winter soldiering. Like, what is their agenda? Oh my God. Or are they just a tool of the government? Yeah. Of whoever the, whatever black site service, whatever. Yeah, who's the puppet master is what you want to know. Exactly. That's a hard one in a job interview because it. It feels like that's a biggest strength and biggest weakness kind of thing. You know, it's like, how do you answer that? I'm a winter soldier, but that makes me late occasionally. And also, I don't know what side I'm doing it for. So I have no clue what kind of shit I do. Oh, right. Yeah. Good point. Um, all right. Well, I got queen bee. If you accept my rules. We got to the end. Oh, look, Jeff made a side-by-side of, uh, me in high school with a picture of a young Carol King. It's pretty good. That's pretty good. Yeah. You're I always thought of you. I was handsome in that photo, but seeing Carol King, I think she is a little, I appreciate that your arm, but I actually don't think that I look that good in that picture. I do. You're wrong. Oh, you're your arms type there. Everybody's got a tie. Yeah. You're big time. I feel like I look like someone that I wouldn't really enjoy. I guess Sergio. But for the record, they provided a bunch of different weird bow ties at the photo shoot. Like I didn't choose that bow tie. Oh, gotcha. You went in there sans bow tie and they were like, Oh God, we got to fix this. I can't remember. I think I went in there and they had clothes that they put on you. No, they did. We all did for our senior portraits at Berkeley high. Yeah. Like no one in high school owns a tux. It was like, if you were doing a quick change into a tux on a, like SNL where it's Velcroed in the back and they've made a complete. You made it into our yearbook, right? Even though you weren't going to our school. I'm in, I'm in the senior, I'm in the senior yearbook. Yeah. But he wasn't, he wasn't at the time going to our school, which is particularly impressive. Yeah. That's how big and disorganized it was that no one even cared. Well, a lot of our students. Our friends were working on your book too. Yeah, that's true. I think Josh got me in. Yeah. All right. Two last things before we get off one, there's a book called, I guarantee it colon, the untold story behind the founder of men's warehouse by George Zimmer. The untold story. It's told for the first time in this book. Oh my God. I hope it's like a good fellas level of violent. I guess you could say that about anyone that has never had their story told before. The subtitle above the title is you're going to like the way you look like it's crossed off. You're going to like the way you read. No, it is. You're going to like the way you. Shut up and let him fucking finish. You motherfucker. He's in the middle of telling you. It is what you want it to be. Just fucking relax, dude. You're not on stage doing rage anymore. Sorry, Eddie. Continue, Keith. It says you're going to like the way this reads, but this reads is in handwriting. Like if someone crossed off, you look and wrote it on there. It's a lot like the original naked gun poster, which is you've read the poster. Now see the movie, by the way, key, but just so many people who think I'm you just keep complimenting me about the movie. No good. They might as well just say thank you. Oh, I do. I do. It's like in high school. You're not going to congratulate me today, guys. On what? Your birthday? Congratulations. No, it's got a Critics Choice nomination for best comedy movie. Oh, my God. I didn't know that. Congratulations. Thank you. Palm Springs won that, right? That's that award we have up in the office. Palm Springs did win that, and I hope that you also win it. It would be well deserved. I don't know what else is nominated, but they can all eat shit and die. That's right. Friendship is. Jesus Christ, Andy. But I'm telling Tim that you said that right now. Well, Tim is our friend, and I do love him a lot. It would go so nicely next to our other one. Wait, what does that award look like? I can't remember. It's like a shooting star, but it's vertical shooting star. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't mind that one. Oh, the last thing, there were some questions about me getting 86 because it came up in the beginning of the year. I think it was in the beginning of the year. of our sponsors being something that protects you from fraud and tell a story about being defrauded. So just to give a little more explanation, I don't want to say the name of the restaurant, but I don't know why I don't want to say it. I just don't want to make an enemy with someone unbalanced because I found the owner to be unbalanced in the things. So it is a restaurant in Los Angeles and I'll just say it's near UCB because that's part of it. Just say it and then we'll bleep it out. Yeah. Well, it's called Beep and it's next to UCB. You saved a buck. I've never, I've never been there to that restaurant still to this day or before. I'm in Atlanta shooting Neighborhood Watch and I finally look at one of my credit card things because I'm so busy shooting a movie and I'm not using credit card at all. And I look at the receipt and there's tons of charges at Target, at gas stations. And then interestingly at this restaurant that I'm like, wow, I just feel like when your credit card starts getting used for fraud, it's usually at places you've never even been or aren't even near where you would have been. Or I've ever heard of. This was like somebody using it in the neighborhoods in L.A. that we are in. I noted it. I called American Express. They wiped the charges. You never think about again. What I didn't know is they take that money back from those places. Well, yeah. Where do you think they get it from? I thought they ate the charges because they're the ones that let their credit card be used erroneously, but they take it back from the retailers. I only know this because two months later or a month later, I got a text from Jake Johnson from the film Self-Reloging. Or from New Girl, I believe, at the time. Fuck yeah. He was on New Girl or maybe Jurassic Park. He was in. Yes. But I think this was New Girl era, Jake Johnson. And he was like, what the fuck did you do? Did you like, did you like get drunk here and like tear the place away? Because it's kind of badass. It's pretty fucking cool. It's on the Instagram for Lonely Myers pod. So you can go see it. And it is. Yeah, it's my it's a headshot. They pulled off Wikipedia. You can still see that it says Wikipedia on the top. It has my name huge and then handwritten on it says 86. Like do not serve. And it was in the window. So like the inside of the window was pointing. So it was next to the UCB. So like a lot of comedy people. Yeah. So anyone walking down Franklin would just see it right away. And I thought it was hilarious and that it was kind of badass. And Liz was like, no, you can't have it there. But of course, I was being egged on by by Jake and Nick Jasanovic. Just shout out to Nick. I haven't seen him in 12 years, but that's who he's with. So Liz was like, no. Come on. We got to at least find out why and get it taken down. That's crazy. You've never even been there. So she calls the owner and the owner. First thing he says is because she left a message as Liz Kikowski. And the first thing he said is like, why are you Liz Kikowski? I thought you said you were Akiva Schaffer's wife. Oh, so he's a patriarch guy. Yes. Couldn't understand the idea of her having a different last name. He was like, wait a minute. And immediately it was like this. This con is continuing because this I've never heard of this. Yeah. The con is the cons back on. This is someone lying to me saying that this is his wife when they have a different last name. That's impossible. Yeah. So clearly a great dude. And then refused to take it down. Was like, nope, he did this. I recognize him. I'm sure he goes to UCB. He's deaf. The waiter said they recognize him. And I'd never been there. And he wouldn't take it down. Oh, my gosh. That's great. That's great. That was it. I mean, the only thing is that if you believe in karma, then I just feel like maybe you you did deserve it. Yeah. Somewhere like just karmically. But I'm taking the high road and not saying who this guy was that owns a restaurant that doesn't believe women can keep their last name. Look, we can just say it. It's it's a really good. It's so baller. Did you say it's Spago? Yeah. It's Spago. It's Spago guys. Fuck those guys. Yeah. Yeah. It was Wolf. I got Wolfgang on the phone. He kept saying in Austria, this would never happen or something. Yeah. He was just like, if she really loved you, she would take your last name. That's my German, I guess. I don't know. If she really loved you. It's just Arnold. He's Austrian. Yeah. Oh, the schnitzel. You ordered four orders of schnitzel and did not pay. Is that pretty good? I do not pound all the schnitzel for her to not take my last name. You know what I mean? That's a dead on Wolfgang Puck from the Wolfgang Puck on Franklin next to UCB. You guys, I'm laughing so hard. But if you're not from L.A., you don't know why. But it was very funny. Imagine. Imagine if they had a Spago on Franklin. They would never. I suppose hell would have frozen over. Well, the last thing I'll leave you guys with is I hope if I winter soldier tonight, I don't kill either of you guys. That's so sweet. Likewise, and thank you. You're a sweetie. That's a really nice sentiment. On the other hand, I'll never know it was me. True. So you won't be guilty, at least. Yeah. Hey, there's the picture Jeff put in the chat. And you know what? If you're a good winter soldier, we'll never know either. We'll just get out of here. And you'll never know, because you'll never see me coming. I'm that good. Yeah, it says Akiva Schaffer, no service, 86th management. It's really good. The sweetest little picture of you smiling. I know, it's me just smiling. Although, if you look at the picture, if you look at the picture, you do look like you're getting away with something. Yeah, yeah. He's happy. He's like, hee hee, credit card. I didn't pay my bill. A little moolah for you. Oh, hey, Late Night with Seth Meyers, also nominated for a Critics' Choice. Cool. All right, that's it. Fine, Andy. Way to go, Late Night with Seth. I wish you had been here to bask in the glory, but now we're going to say that it's a fake nomination. All right, well, I hope I don't kill either of you guys, too. Love you. Love you guys. Love you guys. Later, Arnold. Later, Quades.
