I wanted to just start off by saying I haven't listened to the last episode. I sent in a voice note, since then I did rewatch Cherry Battle and I thought it was really good. It was super fun, doesn't stay too long, has a couple of quick little turns and gets out and there's the funny little singing cherry. It's a little, a little easy guy. Yeah. The easy guy is a perfect way to put it, that's an easy guy. And we got a nice text from John Hamm, right? Yeah. He said it was his favorite one all time, right? This is a quote. For me, it's the best. Like Tucker said, this is a now quote within a quote, you guys had some tricks left in the bag, made me crack up hard when I saw it. So yeah, he's saying it's criterion. Oh, did you tell the story of how Tucker said that to us after the show? I did. I remember that. I basically phrased it, that that's kind of what solidified it in my head as something I was proud of. Oh, great. I also, I really like my little cherry guy too. I thought I did a really good job going like that, and you still got it. You got it. Nope. Thank you. Is that the sound you made when you fell off the ladder? I so wish, like we were talking about like what happens in a tragedy and we were like, I guess this is what who I am as a person, I wish that's exactly what I said. Your, do you remember, did you do a yell? Was it like a, no, or something like that? Oh, for sure. Yeah. When you hit the ground or in the air, was there some minute I hit the ground. I was like, oh my God, oh my God, give me a fucking. Give me a fucking. It was like 10 minutes of me saying, give me a fucking. But you didn't scream, you didn't scream during the fall. It just happened. I don't think so. No, I didn't. That would have been cool if I had like like a cartoon and been like, whoa, if you were like, here, let's fucking go. That would have been amazing. Kevin wants us to go less than 10 minutes before we say, set this in here, guys. Well, guess what? I'm not going to do it. And Kevin can go to hell and bird and hell, which I believe it on. Kevin. Kevin, get on here and take your legs. That's the Christmas season and people are busy, but the reason he's not here, I don't think it's a spoiler to say because we're excited. We haven't heard it. But the criterion episode part two has been recorded without us with is it? It's not a spoiler. This is a no teasing it. He've recorded it. It's Lin-Man, well Miranda and a mere quest love Thompson and we're very excited to hear what they chose. Two greats. Two greats. Two greats. Let's see if we agree with their, see if their opinions are as great as their legends. Like you know, people say, "Love fucking girl" when falling off a ladder. I had some, a small rat problem in the garage. And there were lots of little, it was one of those things where I just went out there one day and was like, "What are, what am I looking at? Luckily I didn't touch them with my hand, but it turned out it was rat poop and like little twigs and nuts and stuff." So it was like nesting and pooping everywhere. Oh, there we go. That's good. Let that play. That's my rat music. That's actually my food. Okay, okay. I'll be right back. So just to be clear, your ordered food to be delivered during the podcast record. So he can be chewing during the podcast. During the podcast record. Yeah. No, it's just, that's just good thought out stuff, you know. Hey. This pod is woven into our daily lives at this point. It's really nice. Oh yeah, that's nicely said actually. So Keith, did you hear the voice note I sent in? Yeah. And did you feel like it was- I didn't hear it when it was cut in. What context it fell into our pod? But I listened to it. Yeah. Got it. And you felt like we had the same memory of everything? Yeah. We both remembered the car ride that it was like right when we were getting out of the car. You know, this the only difference is Andy, the way you phrase, it sounded like we took the car to the same location and both went home. But I think I was hopping out and you were still in and the driver had to kind of sit there while I- Correct. While we talked and then you had to drive home. Correct. Are you still talking about rats? It's not important, but it was a distinction. You're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you would get out on 10th Street and I would go to Grove. Exactly. Grove. We can say it now. We don't live there anymore. Where the friends exterior is. You said, I just need to live as close to the friends exterior as possible and you nailed it, man. You were across the street. That's right. So cool. So cool. Yeah. And I wanted to be, of course, closer to Carrie Bradshaw. And I got there, but I was like two blocks off. Oh, I thought you were going to say the Lazy Sunday building. I wanted to- Yeah. And I nailed it. I got the bedroom. Not only the front soup, I got the bedroom from it. So sick. So sick, bro. Yeah, I stopped my story because it was a let's fucking go. So this guy came, he set some rat traps. He cleaned it up. Yeah. I think I know what he said. Then four days later, one of them caught it and I was like, oh, God. And I saw it. It was really, it wasn't grotesque already. It just looked like the rat was just frozen. It was like, it was just stopped there. And it was not something I wanted to see. I felt bad for the rat immediately, but there is like germs involved. Anyways, I didn't know how I ethically felt about any of it. I called him. He came. I said, oh, it's in there. He's like, oh, we got one. And then he went over. And when he looked at it, he was like, cool. Oh, my gosh. That's a guy who likes his job. That's nice. The way you teed it up, I was 110% sure he was going to say, let's fuck it. It had to be no. It had to be. Nope. Nope. He did later. He did later about it. Oh, he did. Okay. But the cool was the first. Most important part. And he meant it. He was mean. He was like, oh, cool. Oh, I need it. It worked. It was like in his Z-S character had just walked in as an exterminator. He was like, yeah, I guess. He's like, oh, you don't understand. It never works. This one never. This thing that's what I mean. He's like, I sent them all over town hoping for this moment. Here we go. But the fact that he could get, yeah, he loved his job. I love that. Keith, did we talk about just because I still love this? Did we talk about when you had the snake problem on the show? And Keith was saying that he had a snake guy and I was just starting to do the impression of it. He was putting up snake fans. Is this the snake guy? Well, we'd be in the studio recording songs for pop star. And my phone would ring and I'd be like, oh, shit, I got to get it. It's my snake guy. And you guys were like, oh, it's the snake guy. It's the snake guy. Do you have 10 minutes to talk? He wasn't. He was a snake. He was just putting up some snake fans. He was the guy who dealt with snakes. He wasn't a snake litter. He was one of the main reasons you also don't want rodents because if there's rodents, that's snake food. And then the snakes come. But like, it's known that a snake man is what you call a half snake, half person, or a half man. What about a snake man? Yeah, or a snake guy like the Marvel comic? You don't think a snake guy would be like a just laid back man? Like, who is half snake? I don't think they were. I just don't think anyone would ever see a half human man half snake and go, who is a snake guy? I don't know about that. Food win guy. Spider man or snake guy? There's no guy. Okay. I have a snake guy. He exists, Andy. Now you're just getting weird. No, no, no, no. That guy exists. And he should be called a snake guy. You did nothing wrong. I'm just saying. I think that Andy to answer your question, and to answer your question seriously about that of Spider man versus snake guy, it depends because I think that if it's in a contest of who can relax more, I think a snake guy is going to win that contest. Yeah. Yeah, and that's a pretty common contest to have when you're talking about people versus each other. Also, a key to ask the question. You are off the rails. You need to quit. All right. You know what? No bloody way. Wait. So, wait. He did say, let's fucking go. It's less interesting, but it's similar in these enthusiasm, which is that he had come the month before because there had been some ants. He had found a paving stone like on the grass in the backyard that he had lifted up, and he's like, I think I found the colony, and I just dumped a bunch of liquid down there. Well, let's see, and as of a day after it, I never saw another ant mouse, and he asked about it. He said, what about the ants? And I was like, haven't seen him since you found that colony. He was like, let's fucking go. Yeah, yeah. It's adequate. Let's fucking go. It's out of control. This is our stand-up. Collective stand-up now. Yes. Well, actually, I don't know if he used that word on it. He probably just said, let's go. Yeah, yeah. It wouldn't be professional. I don't want to sell it. I don't want to sell it on the bus. We would do a short about it now. It would cut around. You'd sell like a doctor pulling a baby out during a birth. Yeah. It's reached to everybody. Yeah. What's another example of where it would happen? Well, somebody said that to me today while driving in Brooklyn, but I don't think that they meant it like it was fun. It was like-- They were like, you're going too slow. Yeah. It's anywhere stuffy, like a ballet or like someone's hitting a bunch of moves. Yeah. Yeah, because he also yelled, fucking drive right after that, too. Oh, you meant it in a different way. What's funny is that he was crossing the street and wanting me to drive. I had the light where I was like, dude, you're illegally crossing the-- like, he screamed it at me, too. When Keith says it at the ballet, though, he's talking to his wife, saying like, let's fucking go. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not cultured. But it's because she just-- We'll get some Doritos. Yeah. Let's go get some fucking Doritos. No, it's because she said, you want to go home and do it. And then I said-- You're like, oh, there's focus. We'll do it. You said the other way, yeah. Yeah. That's cool. It would be pretty good in traffic to yell at somebody that's not moving, but yell it the way as you're-- In a positive way, yeah. Yeah. Like, they're not going. You're like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, let's fucking go. And they're like, wait. What do you want me to do? Like, you're celebrating the fact that I was texting at the red light? That's weird. Yeah. Okay. Okay. It's speaking of that. I had always wanted to do this as a bit. And have anybody talk about this unless you're probably the pay it for a bit. This is going to be-- the opposite of the, I think you should leave sketch, where it would be a pay-it-forward bit, where you pay for someone behind you, like going onto a bridge, and then when they drive up next to you, then you flip 'em off super hard, and like, "Fuck, so that you're left with just like, "I don't know how they pay for it." - Yeah, like, that guy hates me, but-- - He took my money! And he was like, "No idea." - Let me say, if that happened to me, my takeaway would be-- - Yeah, what? They just bought a free getting to flip me off. - Yeah, you know what I mean? - That's exactly what it would be. - Yeah. - If I had done it to you, and you saw me, that's what it would be. - God, is he right? - I mean, if someone did that to me, I would laugh very hard, obviously. (laughing) - You didn't beat the music like a half hour. It's a great one. It's a good, you should actually try it out. Although-- - Not in New York, though. - Yeah. (sighs) Anyways. - All right, so what are we talking about, guys? - Dude, well, so we don't have Seth. They do criteria, and we haven't heard it, so we can't reply. Also, it's not gonna air till after this. - It's not gonna air? - Air. Post? It's not gonna post. - Okay, I guess this guy is renting a movie studio. Can you see a dinosaur? (laughing) - A movie studio? - A movie studio? - A movie studio? - The air? - Feeters are dead! - You just said like a network TV. - Nothing works. - Or a radio station. - How about a stream avatar three on my phone? - The way it was meant to be seen. (laughing) - I don't think that that's made any sense. - Yeah, more like my Apple Watch. (laughing) What else is smaller, Yorm? - No, that's it, that's the smallest. - Okay. - All right, I do have a bunch of questions since we're just fucking around here. - Where's the burrito from, Yorm? - Buddy's burrito, I love the way the guy says it. He says, "Hello, buddies." - You call him in order, like all school stuff? - When I do call him. I didn't call him though this time. This was just a regular border. And I'm sorry they got here. Well, I shouldn't be eating. This is disgusting. I'm sorry. - Oh, really? (laughing) That's not why I brought it up. (laughing) - Is my mic hot enough for you? - Yeah, we only have one hour in this, the whole week, but by all means, it's disgust us all in the ear holes with your burrito gut. - I thought I was gonna come earlier. But he's pretty laid back. - He's a burrito guy, he's more of a burrito guy. He's not a burrito man. A burrito man would be on fucking time. When it says 640, he would be here at 640. - Right. - Fucking chill and you never know what you're gonna get. (laughing) - I think maybe you got your burrito made by a snake guy. Is what happened? - A snake guy. (laughing) - Remember, remember the karate guy guys? ♪ I like to kick it ♪ ♪ I'm a burrito guy ♪ ♪ Kee-yaw ♪ ♪ Chop chop ♪ ♪ Yum yum ♪ - That's so good. I think karate guy is easily my favorite of our songs. It's definitely our best song. Hit us in the chit-as. (laughing) - Great to hear you. - The verses of karate guy are very funny and I stand by it and I like 'em. - Karate guy is funny. - Yeah, we'll do an episode on it. - It's definitely our best and most popular song. That's all I'm saying. - We are always quoting about the backwards logic like backing into. (laughing) Do you remember what the verses are, Andy? They're all just like being in a cowboy. - When I say kick it. - I don't mean kick it. Yeah, I mean chill in, but it doesn't have to be cold. It can be any temperature. - Yeah. - 60 or 80. (laughing) - Like brain day. - Yeah. - It's frustrating. - It's just saying one thing and then backtracking trying to explain it the entire time. - I wonder if there's any karate studios that have played that to like motivate people. - Probably not. - Oh, we get it. - It's a missed opportunity. - Oh, I haven't been on since I finally saw the show "Haha You Clowns". Have you guys seen it? Key, I know you have. - Yeah, I've seen them all. - Yeah. - All the ones that are out. - You're gonna love it. - Yeah, highly recommend. Anyone out there who is a comedy person? - It's an adult swim. - Oh, okay. - It's on HBO app. - It's 10 minutes long. - I won't say anything more. - Yeah, yeah, great. - There's only nine of them so far. - Spectacular. - Why don't we talk about it next week. Now that we'll have given Yorm and the Quads a moment to catch up. - Perfect. - And then we talk about it the whole app while Seth stares at us. - Great. - Oh, what do you think Quest live said? Do you think he said that "Terry Battles" is favorite of all of them? - I kind of feel like no. - That surprised me a lot that Ham was as geeked on it. I mean, I think it's great, but. - Here's a question about their criteria and that we'll learn when the Quads learn is, do you think they went just from the "Mike Sure" "Taper" episode, the next chunk? Or did they do all from the start up to there? Like, did they relitigate the ones from the beginning? - Oh, right. - Kevin, you can tell us. - Next chunk. - Or Jeff. - He wrote "Next Chunk". - Oh, he wrote it. Sorry, but they picked up to, they didn't talk any shit about the previous guys. - That he meant like, "Get to the next chunk." He fucking, "Next Chunk, please." - Next chunk, move on, next chunk. - Before he's saying one of us is gonna play the next chunk in the "Duny" sequel. - Oh, I would book up for that. - He's like, "Looking at you, you're the next chunk." You know, we always talk about it on this pod. We're always talking in chunks. We're like, "Oh, then we'll do a chunk on Cherry Battle. "Then we can do a chunk on Q and A's." - Check it out. - Okay, we did snake guy. That's a chunk. - Remember when we did the chunk on "Winter Soldier"? - "Each app, a perfect pod episode is six chunks." It took us a while to figure it out, but then we figured out a pod cat that was owed to me to six distinct chunks. - I'll be honest, I know that one was eight chunks, but it still worked for me. (laughing) - Shagdang, that's so crazy about, I was listening to Good Hang, the polar podcast, and it was like, the chunks were all over the place, and I was like, "You can't do that." (laughing) - I do not listen to podcasts, so I didn't really get that reference. - You've been on it, so I know you do. (sighs) - I'll have to take your word for that. - You just thought you were just having a good time. - Yeah. - He's only on podcasts. - I mean, she's my friend, is that what you mean? - I thought she was just recording your conversation. - Yeah, I mean, for posterity, is that what that means? - Yeah, she's like, "I just wanna get this down." - She's just wanna remember you. - We wanna wait till the end to hear what I did on spelling me, is that right? - Yes, yes, please. - Otherwise, everyone twos out. We know, we have the metrics, Andy. - All right. - If they hear what you got, they leave. Then they don't hear the ads. (laughing) Jeff, how many ads do we do? 'Cause we never hear it with the ads, and then in this Q&A doc, you gave me, you gave me somebody complaining that there's too many ads. - Yeah, we get a lot of complaints about the ads, but we don't do that many. Do about like four, an episode usually? - Four ads or four breaks. - It's usually two breaks with two ads, and each sometimes we'll do up to three ads in a break. - It's not that bad. - So question, did that comment come from YouTube? Does YouTube ads end up compounding? 'Cause there's the ads in the podcast, and then the YouTube ads? - That is correct on YouTube, yes. But we don't control the YouTube ads. - Did that comment come from YouTube? - That came from the email. I don't know where that person was. - Oh, where they listened. But I bet you it's that. I bet you that we're getting double ads on the YouTube ones. - Just be clear, we do not consider the ads a chunk. - Definitely not. - Yeah, our six parts does not include the ads. - No, no fucking chunk. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I also just want to point out, Yorm took more bites of his burrito. I did, but I was doing it well. Kiva's wasting time talking about fucking ads. - Wasting time? - Wasting time. I was trying to. - Wow. - There's a quaid. We, first off, we love our quids. - For someone who claims to care about quaid army, Yorm, that was pretty fucking cold, dude. - Yeah, sure. - We love our quids. We do it all for them. - Yeah. - And the ad money is negligible. (laughing) - Let's see here. - Let's see here. (laughing) - We'd have better luck buying a bunch of scratchers. - Guys, how about that power ball? It's up to like 1.2, you guys get a ticket? - 1.2 Billy? - Yeah. - I do like getting involved when it's up that high, but no. - I meant to buy one today, 'cause it sends my kids into like a fantasy land for a few days before. - Oh yeah, it's like just like, you could buy an island of candy. - Yeah, they're just like, wait, this piece of paper could be worth that much money. And they just start, well, we wouldn't get rid of our house. We'd just get another house, right? They're thinking it all, they just immediately go to all the crap. - I'm like, well, first thing we'd have to do is they always make you take a photo. So we'd all have to hire a film prosthetic sky to give us all the skies is, because I explain to them how people that win the lottery get targeted. - Right. - So I start making it kind of like more of a nightmare scenario. I'm like, also, you lose drive. You don't understand what to do with your life anymore, once we live in a capitalist society. And it's so ingrained in you that if money gets taken completely off the table, you float in a completely aimless way. - Yeah, how do they take this? 'Cause I don't think this is a joke that you said this to them. - Then I just hang the ticket in their bedroom so they have like kind of nightmares about it. Like a dream catcher, like a reverse dream catcher. - And then by the time the numbers are called, they're hoping to lose. - Yeah, and then they celebrate the life they had all along. - You know what I say? I'm like, what is it at 1.2 billion? Yeah, if you win that, then maybe you can pay for private school. - Thank you, Andy. - Oh, I can't wait for your Quibby special. - Oh, Andy, if we forgot to tell everybody that, because he says Quibby so much Quibby's back. - Quibby's back. They want him to be the first special. - Bro, if Quibby came back, I would do, how many of it would be like nine, 10 minute chunks? I mean, Quibby's kind of the original chunks. - I think they were five minute, were they 10? Maybe they're five? - I think they were 10 mostly. - I don't know, I never, this is gonna sound weird, but I'd never watch something on Quibby. I know, I'm the weird guy. Hey guys, James says, I'm an avid listener of the podcast, but it seems like there's been progressively more and more ads every week. It's gotten to the point where I feel like I'm pressing the skip button 40 times every episode. I was listening to the Cherry Battle episode and thinking about how I was finally gonna write and complain about it, but then Seth made the comment that you guys make a podcast with four hosts and it's half ads. At first, I felt vindicated. acknowledge all the ads, then I got irritated that you're self-aware and do it anyways. (laughing) Thanks for making content that's 50% entertaining. Well, first off, I take Umbridge because we put work into some of the ads to make them a little bit more entertaining than your average ad, but you wouldn't know that, James, 'cause you skip 'em. (laughing) We try, we do try, but we can try harder to make the ads funnier. But anyways, we already addressed his complaint, so, you know, fair enough. Yeah, no, no, no, I mean, makes me feel bad. I'll say that. This is gonna say, James, I wrote my kids into them, and you skip past 'em? You should look in the mirror, James. Think about what kind of person you wanna be. You've already seen this key, but I wanted to pop this in. Wait, are you guys already reading the questions? I'm not reading them. No, no, no, no, I've just popped in something I made today and sent to Chris Parnell and Matt Murray who wrote the sketch in question. Oh, really? Yeah, so there's a movie out called "Murve" about a dog, and I got the poster and added the purve under it, 'cause Parnell used to use the sketch code. So, he did Chanel and Charlie Cox for his rom-com. It's Christmas either there's mistletoe above them, or above the dog. I choose to think in this rendition that mistletoe is the dog, and he's got his head tilted, and he's right in front of you, clearly merves his name. Yeah, yeah. And it's "Murve the Purve," and he's like, "Huh? Wanna kiss?" 'Cause there's mistletoe right above it. Yes, yes. By the way, that's describing a huge part of my life. Like my dog is definitely, he's fang the purve, but he's full on purve. Yeah, maybe you shouldn't have named him "Murve." So anyways, I sent that to Parnell and Matt Murray, and I said, "You guys sold out." (laughing) They wrote the "Murve the Purve" story, and turned him into a dog, and Pantor said, Matt Murray said, "Sold out, "you have no idea how long it took Parnell "to get into that makeup." Oh, it is Parnell, and he's not just doing the voice. He's the dog, isn't it? (laughing) Fucking Pantor, what a killer. Can we get fucking Pantor on the show, Jesus? Yes, Kevin, I agree. "Murve the Purve" is one of my all-time favorite sketch theme songs. I don't remember how it went, but yeah, sing it for us, please. ♪ It's love, it's a crazy rollercoaster ride ♪ (laughing) There's no jokes in it. Yeah, but he's more of the purve. ♪ And laugh and live and laugh together ♪ ♪ Move the purve, that's move the purve ♪ It's pretty much just that. Yeah, that's really good. It's like an 80s sitcom. ♪ Something deep inside ♪ It feels like it's based on "Trees Company" almost, 'cause "Trees Company" is a very purvy theme song as well. I just couldn't disagree more of what you just said, Jordan. (laughing) Oh, it does it, and it's not based on "Trees Company." Jesus, Andy's got a little bit glassy-eyed. He's really sick. ♪ Where the kisses are hers and hers ♪ ♪ And his "Trees Company" too. Like, you don't think that one was cool? Yeah, I might be. You very well, maybe, right. I take back my anger that was so overwhelming that I started crying. - Let's fucking go! - Let's fucking go! (laughing) You know, you don't know, guys. Come on, come on, come on. Oh, actually, I was wrong. We do have one wood coffin left. Let's fucking go! That was another example. All right, I have a cool photo. I'll just skip to the important part. This is from Laura. She's from the Bay, and she made a patch for a Vietnam era U.S. Army jacket that she has. Okay. And it's pretty cool. No dignity, double share screen. Oh, that is sick, bro. That is really cool. Oh, it's a Quaid Army patch. It's a Quaid Army patch, and it's fully embroidered, which she told me how she told us, hold on. This is my design hand embroidered with cotton floss on a Vietnam era U.S. Army jacket. So, yeah, so it's got six parts. It's almost like, what would you call it? Like a coat of arms? Yeah, almost. Yeah, exactly. The things that represent us. And it's got a pirate flag for Jack Sparrow. It's got a boat. It's got a little cat that says, click, click, pew, pew, pew. It's got sushi. It's got cupcakes, and it's got the boxes. And it says Quaid Army, very lovely underneath. And then here's the whole jacket just so you can see. That is so sick. Whoa, what else is on it, though? I want to know what kind of company we're in, 'cause-- Yeah, what's she into here? What else is in there? Yeah, cool spider web design. So it looks like the top is like a cornucopia of flowers with maybe a spider web. Maybe there's a little spider right there. And then this looks like a little kitten kind of one. It looks like a button. Yeah. So you make like a good tattoo. And then this is like another spider web going up to some sort of a tall redwood tree. Yeah, okay. I fucks with this. This one looks like it's one of the SS kind of arm bands. No, no, no, no, no, no. That was why I was saying zoom in. Andy fucks with it. Moving on. No, that's not what I did. All right, wait. I got another one. You will see it right here. That's so great. Yeah, that's beautiful. That's beautiful work. Here's another Quaid Army out in the real-world Keith. You might like this custom made font accurate license plate frame. What do you guys think? Criterion or copyright infringement? Quaid Army for life. Queen B. All you can be. PS. My son thinks young fans should be called Quaidlings. Oh, strong agree. So he blurt his license plate number so we can't see it. But look how good that thing is. That's awesome. Really good. Yeah. So that's the total recall font for Quaid Army. Yeah. And then the right, just kill font for right. Yeah. Although I'm not sure. Oh, really good. Really good. It's a little blue sun or an EKG, I'm not sure what those are. It could be an EKG. But it just looks good. Maybe just a design choice. But lovely. You should sell those. That's great. Yeah. That's awesome. And give me the profits. Sell them. And give us the profits. Oh, that's Hamilton. Hamilton. You know, a woman named Julie just sent me some pins that she made that were wonderful. And the best one said, ask me about my razzie nomination. That's really shit. That's very, really, really like that. Thank you. She made a bunch of different ones. I'll maybe bring it down a little bit, but it's, yeah, it's okay. All right. So I've got a section here on ideas on how we could keep the podcast going, but I feel like that should have Seth. Yeah. And maybe not have me. Yeah, exactly. Although one of them-- Norm's going for his burrito. Sorry. Yeah. Shout out, Piggy. One really stuck out to me, which was an NYPD Blue Rewatch podcast. I kind of thought that might be good. Or if it's all of us and all our homework assignment is, they're probably 42 minutes, 45 max. Oh. Every week, we just have to make sure we each have watched it. And we're like, all right. We're on season one episode four of NYPD Blue. What happened this week, guys? And we just talked about what happened on that week's episode. That is an episode. It might be unbearable for us, but it sounds really funny. It sounds like very, very funny. It's a good performance art. If nothing else. I think it's that. Yes. I'm going to give crack something on that one, too. Oh, yeah. It wasn't mine. These are just amazing. Oh, those are just amazing. I'm fucking quite honest. Yes. Just wonderful people. Yeah. I can hear the tin foil and paper from your burrito. Pretty warm in my ears. How about it? How about it? Let's just stop for a second. Your arm. Is it good? It's okay. What's in it? It's very basic. It's very basic. Is it Bay Area style? It looks like a big fatty. It's a big fatty. It's just a chicken burrito, but I would say it's real normal. It's not really worth talking about. As much as I'm interrupting. Well, let me throw this out there. LA has amazing Mexican food. Obviously, why wouldn't it? Yes. But what it doesn't have, that oddly New York has, is rip off style of San Francisco Bay Area burritos. That is true, but if you order burrito, I'm going to beep that when that comes out of my mouth and beep that. You spend, I think, $28 to $30 to have a burrito delivered to your house, which is not worth it. It's tiny. It's crazy. Yeah. But there's a few places. It's like a Bay one. And I'm saying there's almost nowhere here, even though they have amazing burritos, but they're just different style. And for some reason, no one has opened a burrito place. Like on some level, Chipotle is the closest you're getting, and that's not really close. But at least it's the size and style of wrap. You're saying, like, mission style. Yeah. A mission style burrito. But why don't they exist down here? Why don't we open one, since culturally, it's not appropriation, it's just like, you know. It's an oratown for an amazing burrito, but it's just not that style. It's a very different style. We all fucks with an oratown, and let's not get it twisted. Hey, guys, a small other thing. I mentioned Britbox very fast last week when I was trying to figure out where we could watch Graham Norton, and they sent to our office a little gift thing that was a pair of scissors and some gift wrap and some ribbons, just saying, hey, to wrap your gifts. Really? Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. So I suppose we answered the question. You can be bought. Yeah. Yeah. Very easily. That was a free act. That is more shit, whoever we talk about. The pistachio lobby is pissed right now. They're like, why do we pay when this Britbox just sent over some wrapping paper to pair scissors? If you want, send a Kiva a single pistachio, and he'll probably shout you out. Speaking of things that got sent to us, tell us about the Spotify thing that for some reason you got and none of us did. Okay. It's very strange to me. I think that Jeff needs to hop on and explain it, but I got an award from Spotify, and I assumed you guys got the same one, although it was very specific, and it said that I was all around great guy and a great digger, and it was the wrapped award. And I don't know what it was. But it's like a heavy arm. It looks legit. It's like a legit award, but then the little plaque on it looks like it was like, hey, let's walk around, slap this on there for this guy, which is, it's still a very nice gesture. And they came with some very nice chocolates as I made you jealous of because I assumed that you also got you. Yeah, we were on FaceTime playing video games, and you almost like, you know what, the Spotify chocolates are actually pretty good, and I was like, well, and I got this cool water bottle. And I was like, what are you talking about? I'm going to throw up. Look, you have food on your face stuck in your beard and your They're so close to the mind. - I am my father's son, Andy. - That's not an excuse. - I want the chocolates! You want to put the chocolates and put one chocolate in the mail. - I'm the eating guy. - Stop eating. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I can't, it's dinner time here. Andy, I'm my father's son. - No, my father's son holds zero water. - What, it explains the food all of my mouth. - Okay, this is from Barbara. Hi, Lonely Island and Seth. I am a most unlikely soldier in the Quaid Army. I'm a 43 year old mom living in Asheville, North Carolina. First off, that I think is pretty normal, but in high school and college, I watched SNL sporadically, but not every week. I have not kept up with that SNL over the past two decades. I have never seen, late night with Seth Meyers, and I have never heard of the Lonely Island. - Okay, it's starting to become more of an unusual, okay, yeah, I like this so far. - I was a freshman in college when Dick and O'Box first aired on SNL, so I definitely knew that song. But I didn't know it was created by the Lonely Island. I know this email may be starting off like a slap in the face. - Gonna say a comment making me feel insecure. - Quite an accomplishment. - This is the demo I want. - But I think it's quite an accomplishment to gain a loyal follower from a person who has virtually zero ties to any of you. I have listened to and caps loved every single episode of the podcast. I have learned about you, and I feel like I've gotten to know each of you through listening each week. The unique voice and personality of each of you, that each of you bring to the table is just perfection. At first, I would watch the digital short before starting an episode. But honestly, I don't even do that anymore. I love listening to the four of you banter reminisce, rag on each other, love on each other, and talk about Queen Bee. - Thank you. - The great work, I don't like the ragging. I don't like the ragging, and I would like it to stop. - Okay, just keep up the great work and all the winter soldier. - Try not to get food on your mic, please. - Well, that is unique. - That's a prime example. - A prime example. - I certainly would assume that anybody, Barbara, that listens to this, at least minimum has a point of entry of being either into the Lonely Island work or Seth Meyers work, or at least SNL overall in a serious way. - I would like a follow-up. - I would like a follow-up from Barbara, and just how it happened that you would stumble across this. - Why did you ever hit play, Barbara, we have a follow-up. Why did you ever hit play in the first place? - Hit us back, please, on the tittest. - That's the surprising part. - Hit us near on or on the tittest. - Somewhere near a tittest, some kind of tittest. - In the general vicinity-ness, vicinity-ness. Just hit us in the general vicinity of the tittest, of the tittest. - It's real punching the jeans. - It's not good enough. I was workshopping it live and it backfired. It's like for big lias, right, Jorm? - Your neighbor. - Yeah, yeah, you gotta get it on its feet. You gotta try stuff, guys. It's a perfect place to do it. - Okay, next one is from Zachary. - Hi quates, I just want to follow up on Shayna's email from the Cherry Battle, just you know Andy Shayna during the Cherry Battle is a New York Times writer, but works for Wirecutter, and we discussed Wirecutter. 'Cause she was like, I don't work for the games. Wirecutter is the thing that reviews products. - Oh, so it's like a consumer reports for online? - Yes, correct. - You've never heard of Wirecutter, really? - No, he's not. - He's not real selective New York Times. - He's just on the games. - Okay, it's myopic. - Okay, so I also work at the New York Times, but not for New York Times games. Although I did write the New York Jets Connections game a couple months ago, I work at the Athletic, and I have read things from the Athletic. I know that you guys like sports, and you don't care who knows from Wembleton to the Super Bowl, so I think you'd like it. I've read articles on the Athletic before. It's a sports song. - When did you become a fucking sports nut man? I feel kind of a betrayal here. - No, I don't look for it. It's because I read the New York Times, and then it'll sometimes get to an Athletic, and I'll be just scrolling down looking for articles, and then a headline will grab me. - Got you. - That interests me. Like, "Chiller Swift goes to a game." You know, or like-- - Oh, that's the time. Thank you, thank you. - Yeah, Jello's gonna play the half-time show. You know, whatever it is. Like, check out their butts. There's a lot of cute butts in the football team. - They write articles like that? - Yep, that's the Athletic right now. - You know what? - I'm sold. I'm gonna check in. Great, cute butts on the football team. - That was an article written by the scooch for Mondo Buds. - It was a Mondo Bud. It was trying to be a Mondo Buds reference. - Oh, you gotta check out the butts on the football team. - I couldn't quite get my Mondo Buds. - Scooch-a-ditch. - That's now legendary, never aired. And not good. - Zachary's email goes on, but but it ends with, will you guys be doing it? And I think you should leave episode with love to hear Tim and Zach come on the show. - Yeah, we could probably do that. Just like a general one. - Yeah, those guys are real funny. - Or make them talk about one sketch for a while. - Do they ever do podcasts? - One thing they love doing is explaining their jokes. - Yeah, that's what they love during their show. - Yeah, they hate it, but so do we when they're fresh. This is a different thing. Okay, this is another New York Times person, ready? - Okay. - So basically, I guess when we gave Shine to one New York Times writer, the others heard it and they're like, what about me? Michael, hey quads, loyal listen here. Although I will admit, I usually turn the pot off once I find out whether or not Andy has quibbied. - Thank you. - Keep it at the end. - Unlike some of your emails, I actually do work for the New York Times games. - Oh. - I'm writing to ask that you please refrain from future discussion of other New York Times sub-brands, including the athletic, cooking, audio, and especially wire cutter. Your listeners don't want to hear about boring shit like smoke detectors. Give them what they came before. An extended discussion of Pentefacta Strat. - This is great. - We're getting into some like turf wars now. - Yeah, some beef. - Yeah, yeah, this cross office beef. - PS George Zimmer was my friend's dad and coached my youth soccer team. - I guarantee it. - Wow. - So many Zimmer connects. - Fucking Zimmer's. - Like just as mensual. - And I guess these are bay people then as well. - Or, and this is just a theory, it's all a lie. This guy doesn't even exist. - Whoa. - It's a catfish? - Yeah. - Yo, you talking about the matrix. - Well, I think the person who wrote it exists, I just think that they may have made up a person. - No, they don't. - Keeve. - Oh shit, you think the customer's doing it to us? - That's an AI person. - Dude. - Even in the matrix though, people exist. They're just in those little pods. - No, they don't. - Ugh. - They're just battered. - You gotta see the movie again. - Dude, we're saying this dude's a battering. - Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, Keeve, Keeve, sorry, sorry. - You're saying Michael's a battering. - No, we gotta move. - The movie doesn't even exist. - We gotta lay off, you know what I just realized? He has burrito brain. - Oh shit. - Oh, I think we're gonna say you have to lay off me because that's ribbing and we don't do that anymore. - No, we definitely do that, but I'm gonna take it easy on you because our little guy's got burrito brain. - Oh man. - Giving me an opportunity. - He's gonna take a bite. - Taste of the BBs. - Oh, look, he's doubling down. He's gonna eat more. - Oh wow, that's how you pay everyone back for hand crafting you gifts for your own dumb ass choice to climb a ladder. - It was already established, Andy, on Reddit, that I was faking it. (laughing) - What are you doing on Reddit? Get off of there. - No, we read things, I don't read it, promise. - Oh, you were on Reddit? (laughing) - Why did that give me, why is that funny at all? - Here's some common questions, guys. Remlin's is not child-appropriate according to many quads because one of the characters says that Santa isn't real. - Oh, that's quite true, yeah. - Oh, that's quite true. - Yeah, I'm sorry. - Also, it's not child-appropriate because it's scary. - Yeah, they throw one in a blender and shit. It scarred me when I first saw it. - No way. - No way. - It's hilarious. - But Seth is the one that asked and he's not on here. So he's not getting that information right now. - No, but that's a real, and is it proven in the movie that Santa's not real, though? - You can't prove it. Literally, you're proven to me right now. - Yeah, you're right, when you're right, you're right. - That's why it's always fine. You can never prove he doesn't exist. - Exactly, exactly. - That's what this pod's actually about. - Listen, a lot of quads responding to Akiva's Airbnb read that I did with one of my kids, and we talked about how my. - James, James, James doesn't know about this. - No, he doesn't. And we talked about how my in-laws came and they stayed in Airbnb. They're wondering why I don't have a big enough house for my in-laws. They assume I make enough money for movies and podcasts to afford a bigger house. - No, you're just a debt. - No, but I don't, actually. There is one extra bed in our house, but it's in the room I'm using as an office that I'm in right now, and it has the exercise machine and it's a mess and. - Keeve. - Open your wallet. - I don't make enough, guys. So thanks for rubbing it in. - Okay, well then, here's an idea. Genius, make more. - The fuck? - I want you, but James won't sit through the fucking ads. (laughing) - James, it's your fault. - I think we just realized why Keeve will sell out for a single pistache. - This guy's hard up. - I couldn't afford a ratted picker. It was great. Abigail, hello quads. First off, I want to tell Yorma that I'm really glad he ended up all right after the fall, even if this message is a bit delayed. I would also like to give my condolences to Seth for Frisbee, another delayed message. I am a 14 year old human being who dressed up as your old boss, Lorne Michaels, for Halloween. It may sound surprising, but I do have friends, though none of them know who Lorne Michaels is. Those mugless losers. Anyway, love the pod, and of course, the digital shorts. Thank you, Seth, for the late nighting. I watch your show every morning before school. Andy, you're just kinda awesome and funny with everything. Keeve, Nicky, again, was so good, and I wish I could watch it again, but I don't have paramount. And Yorma, I can relate as I'm also the short one of all my friends. (laughing) All right, I'll take it. Bring balconies to second-chance theater. Also, can we have Lorne and Arnold as guests on the pod? Then there's a photo, though. Let's see what this photo is, hold on. Can I just say, while we're looking at this photo, Abigail is like one of my favorite names of all time. I use it all, like any time I'm making it a story, it's Abigail. Oh, Abigail, you're a rap. Oh, and you have a little Emmy just as that. Abigail's just as Lorne holding the award. Oh my god. Abigail, me and Keeve were the shortest people forever. the moment we cracked five feet. We talked about this on the pod. I'm sure but like your grace and our kids are tiny equally short I was also very short. I don't know why you're excluding me Well now you're a judge when we were buds in seventh grade by tell me met you We'd all had a little girl spurt. Yeah, but in junior high and freshman year of high school I was short and then I have this other one here. This is from Philepa. How would you say that in a British? Philepa, Philepa. In England, a Christmas gnome is also called a gunk. Proof attached. So every time I walk past a large display of gunks I say not a gunk for nobody's enjoyment except my own. Love the pod and happy holidays from truly very foggy London town. Wild because she's saying it when it is a gunk. That's a gunk. Now here it is. Wait is it say You got to zoom in on the label down there. It is the same. Well she did it for us. Oh happy gunk. These are happy gunks that would cost this much. Oh we got to move there. And then the happy gunk extra large is 99. That's pounds Keith. What is it in dollars? 24 dollars. Don't ask your No, your arm's not good. No, 24 dollars. Let me guess. I feel like it's become equal. Yeah it might be right. But maybe that's not so true. Andy, you're the last one who's in foggy London. No pounds worth more. Come on. Oh I was way wrong. It's 26.7. So it's 0.34. You're right Andy. It's still something. I was right. I'm not right. No you're not ever leaveable. So Andy you're right. I'm a stats guy now. No, you're the burrito boy with burrito brain. There it is. Maybe both. Why do we have it the label everything? I don't really got it. Why do we have the label everything? Yeah, that has burrito brain output. He's like scarfing his back in burrito that he admitted he doesn't like. Yeah. I'm almost done. It's fine. It's sustenance. It's fine. Oh my god. Hey speaking of other things I watched. I watched Sarah Sherman's comedy special and loved it. Oh I bet that's great. I highly recommend but I will also say not for the squeamish or the squirmish. It is fucking disgusting and it's so incredible. Will you give one example of how disgusting it is? There are visuals that you will never be able to unsee. Like it's very very aggressively disgusting on purpose. Okay. Like Kronenberg level and disgustingness. Okay. It's like if like Peewee and Kronenberg made a special together and the host of it was Sarah. Golly. Okay. It's very funny though I laughed hard. I got beat recently by my PT guy Sean who when I said golly he was like whoa there are people saying that and I was like well I'm not saying golly right? Like I'm saying golly that's different. What's the difference? Well golly would be like I'm on like a 1950s guy but you know like golly yeah golly beave like golly is like I'm like 2027. Yeah Lee like that. That's how you say it not me I found that offensive. Yeah like I said like E 40 would. How would he say it? Like how do you just get with use it? No we're gonna cut mine. I say like good old Jimmy Stewart. Yeah golly. Oh but it's still in the posse two syllable way. I just want golly. Golly. Yeah golly that horse has the biggest plenus of other side. That's exactly how I say it. Oh yeah I think this case of the babies might be contagious. Yeah it's different because you're doing your impression of someone doing it. Andy what's your excuse? Because you seem like you've got the marido brain of it. I'm not going to front. I got a little burrito brain. Whooo! Tail it off. Tell him what's Christmas. Let's listen to a voice note and then the spelling me and then later. Yeah I like I like that. God I hope it's needy. I always welcome a huge fan and Vincent Austin Town. I always made people watch your videos. I'm like do you know this song? Oh my god that reminds me of a lonely Allen song. You got to watch it and I recently did that with my 11 year old son. He is super permit proper though he won't let me curse and he does not like talking about inappropriate things and it did not occur to me until three videos in that all of your songs are about penises. Not at all. He did not think they were funny. He just thinks I'm appropriate. So thanks bye. Big apologies. Okay could it could it on through it on the ground but that does have getting taste in the bottle. When we were kids I feel like I didn't know any kid that wasn't cool with swearing. Eleven is like I think when you when you get your first like horrible cursing tapes and but but my I guess my point is not to disparage this collar but to talk about how my kids won't curse and when they even are singing along to their favorite songs by like Olivia Rodrigo let's say and it gets to the the f word they mute themselves right or they do the radio version even if the one playing is the dirty version. In the case for my kids my kids are the horrendous. My daughter's favorite song is a rylok highly song called Better Son Daughter and it has a and sometimes when you're on you're really fucking on and she says like if we talk over it she's like go back that's the best part. So I'm a bad singer. It's crazy because I feel I'm more like Eve like when I am in the car with my kids if I play anything even a little like UGK pregnant pussy or something they're like dad with the fog and I'm like what it's a class. You gotta listen to the lyrics. You know what I mean. I'll just make sure he quade the quades out there now going I'm gonna throw on the UGK drink. What the fuck. Oh you're in for a treat if you haven't heard it. It's a shocker guys. It's a shocker. No matter what we say here it will be a shocker with you guys. That's classic material. Get back to us about your feelings after you listen to it. Yeah there's 14 year olds listening to this. I feel bad. No. Well congrats on 20 years of lazy Sunday guys. Just to wrap this up. Thanks Eve. Thank you for mentioning it. It probably wasn't really that long though right? Probably was more recent. Yeah. Now we're getting younger. I feel younger. Feels feels weird. Your arm will just skip right past it. Your arm. Yeah what's up. I hope this isn't a rib. Oh my god. Remember when we could pound like four burritos each without getting BB and now it's like halfway through my first fucking burrito. I'm like oh god damn I'm coming down with a major case and it's so it's so fucked up because they don't tell you that you know when you're younger you just see old people complaining and you think what are they talking about? I'm young. You got to switch to NABs. Oh yeah yeah yeah. Yeah some nabs. What are they what are they take out? What is the NA for when it's not a not a sought of burritos. It's good enough. I can't I can't do I can't do full on a sought of burritos. You know what people agents were calling us the other day being like do you guys want to try to do a celebrity endorsed like brand you know like the way that a few different people we know have the nonacolic beers. And I think we now just found ours. Right. So if you're not a vegetarian burrito. And the ads are just you know doing reenactments of someone coming down with a case of the BBs and then something else going like hey is this happening to you. I can't get my work done. I've got burrito brain. Yeah. Not again. Oh once I hit 40 it was just like all of a sudden the burrito brain was lasting longer coming on stronger faster. I can't stop eating burritos. So what's the alternative? No I like I hate yeah I hate that I stopped and then I'm like you're my you keep eating them. What's your secret? How are you doing it? Well, Keeve. I'm glad you asked. NAB is it'll be just like Tom Holland with his nonacolic beer or I think Malini has one that he's been advertised. I would never ever bring up someone else's product on our cast ever. Right. Right. I would never do that. You think Spidey would send a voice note to promote his nonacolic beer. Is it a tie-in? You think he would. Yeah maybe. Yeah. I tell you're talking about spider-hands. Oh you're right. It's Spider-Man or Spider-Hand. They're both Spider-Man. Yeah. Sober. Hey I'm one too. Oh what? I'm a spider. Oh yeah. What's what's your guy's name? It's a great question. He has a name. I got one too. Keep you're the only guy who doesn't have a fucking Spider-Man. Oh yeah you're the one pointing at each other, right? You're doing this you're doing the man. I'm a 1969 guy. Yeah. I'm the Coda. I'm the first one. What the fuck? How are you both Spider-Man? And I'm just fucking sitting here with fucking burrito brain like a fucking tool. I'm just a lot of cursing. Who are you trying to impress? Probably the man in the mirror. No. Phil Lord and Chris Miller. So they make me a Spider-Man. There's a third movie coming. Oh yeah come on. Phil and Chris make Keva Spider-Man. Yeah. And guys look in the mirror. Guys hit them up on Twitter. Let them know. Let's start the campaign. It'll be as big as when Donald Glover was gonna be Spider-Man. This will be the next one for all the same reasons. You guys I was kidding. Obviously I know I'm Ben Riley. Relax. There we go. I didn't look at it all the time. You did too. I saw your face left. Look at my phone. Does it look like I looked up characters from Spider-Man? No. Oh my god. And what is the arms 1967? That's my home screen. He is 1967. 1967. Thank you. I just literally I just have to say one thing. I'll do it like yeah. And I'll be that Spider-Man whenever there's a bunch. Exactly. Like your arm. A fake one. You know what? I had the Coda. I was point. Listen guys. I don't want to get into politics. But Donald Glover you know he showed up in the last one as one of the alternate ones kind of acknowledging the big campaign that was online to make him like a pre-Miles Morales first black live action Spider-Man. Yes. And I feel like we could get a similar momentum going for me in a similar way because nobody with burrito brain has ever been Spider-Man. - I'm just saying, I feel like there's a-- - I thought you don't have burrito brain. - Huh. - No, that product-- - But how it seems like you're campaigning for your-- - No, the product we were talking about was a joke product that doesn't exist. You think NABs exist? - I know, dude. - I burrito brain got you serped. Keeve now owns it, and he's got it. - I was saying that my burrito, that I go half a burrito now, and I'm like, I've got it for hours now. - Seth has teeth. Keeve has burrito brain. (laughing) - Yes. - It's your-- - You aren't doing stats. - We all have burrito brain. - We all have our stats. - And I'm saying, I get it now way early. In our 20s, that's, no, we could pound burritos. Now I go half a burrito, I'm fucking burrito brain and all over the place. - You know what you are, it's your zonk. - Yeah, and there's never been, people don't talk about it enough, there's never been a spider-man with burrito brain. (laughing) - That we know of. - Yeah, you're right. - That's true, there's so many iterations. - We don't talk about that. - There's so many old comics. - Come at us. - People who we're struggling with, exactly. - Hit us in the dentist again, about if a spider-man had burrito brain. - If you know if a spider-man or anyone you know has had burrito brain. (laughing) - Can I point something out, Andy? If it's canon, spider-ham and Ben Reilly are canon. They're from the only, and the moment when the spider-man are pointing at each other, I believe is two, that's how it got pulled from the cartoon and into the thing. - That is accurate. - So a spider-man with burrito brain? - Yeah. - That's not a deal breaker, it's a deal maker. - Right. - There hasn't been one in the movies. The same way there was a black spider-man in Miles Morales, there just wasn't one in the movies. And there has not been one with burrito brain. Now some people could argue that Jake Johnson's Peter Parker that's like eating pizza. - Right. - That's fat in the first part of it. - Yeah, that's tangential, but yeah. - Kind of has burrito brain. - Half burrito brain? - Yeah. - But he has more pizza brain. - More New York. - Why do you think he's constantly eating pizza? - 'Cause he's from New York. - Well, because people know they weren't ready for a burrito-brained spider-man. - So they put pizza in his hand 'cause they weren't ready. - They didn't use into it, yeah. - Let me in. - Start the campaign, guys. - We have a pizza brain spidey.
