so when you hear any of those drops you gotta drink just kidding we were talking about how
that seth you're so funny is i think that she kind of seth you're so funny there's something
in the tone in the back half that lets me know it's not
actually flirting yeah that she doesn't care friend zoning she's like you're so like moving
on to the next guy i'm talking to god really funny um i do want to shout out the person who
did the rvo which is baraka and she actually keith was a backup singer in popstar oh like
on stage yeah wait who is a backup singer in popstar just this friend of greg chun's who uh
is is really good at vo probably not actually doing oh there she is you have
a picture of her yeah yeah i actually sort of remember her but uh shout out to to baraka does
uh yorm sound hot to anybody else or is it just i got him turned up too hot oh seth that's so nice
of you i i work out yorm we're getting some feedback from you fuck yeah i think he's mike
is so hot feedback we're getting is you're too swole thanks uh is this better yes okay that you
passed jeremy allen white's dad and have moved on to jeremy allen white calvin klein era yeah
or actually the claw the claw era what was it called what were the brothers
wasn't the claw you think i'm there i think it was the brothers mcwrestling
oh i love that one i would have seen it if it was called that did you guys see the brothers
mcwrestling did you ever see that movie i did yeah my god i know it was a true story but geez louise
yeah yeah things keep i don't want to spoilers uh you know i mean the whole movie is the movie
should be called spoilers every every time you're feeling pretty good about how the wrestling's
something terrible happened seth you're so funny
you guys hear that yeah not only did i hear it i panicked when i heard it i was like who's listening
the iron claw that's the name of the movie yeah when i uh looked up them after i watched it what's
crazy is that the story was even sadder yeah and they had made it like 10 less or 20 less sad
for the movie because they were like it's just too much it is which one was the iron claw it's
a true story about a family of wrestlers who i i'm gonna get some details wrong but i feel like
they came out of like the lower tier professional wrestling and maybe texas keeve and there were
like four dudes and it is just um again it's true story so i'm not making light of it's just one
tragedy after the other and the thing is that early wrestling scenes where these brothers are
like wrestling and these like you know kind of lower tier arenas are super fun yes and their
haircuts and outfits are yeah the music it's like one of those movies like
here we go and it's like oh you really feel like you're like oh this must have yeah anyway it's
very well done but yeah hi guys uh so uh we did actually get some feedback after the bill hater
episode that people said you know what that was great but maybe less bill less andy oh that's
great wait that's like they wanted less of both yeah they wanted like say one with just your arm
next time maybe just your arm keeve seth yeah oh yeah so we're delivering for them that makes sense
yeah it does make sense doesn't it like i love when your arm catches up to the bit
steph you a bad boy
i do think this is best that andy's not here for these new
steph do you find them kind of sexy uh yeah i do too i do too i mean i'm a little worried about
him because i'm assuming there's not a real person that you got to do these you know no no there is
really that's where who we were shouting out at the top oh barricade now i'm really the fact that
anybody that you can get anybody to say these things is a real turn on for me uh
hey i guess a new york times mini clue was sandberg of seven days of hell yeah i couldn't
tell if it was the mini i think it was the midi right mid oh the midi yeah that is more midi than
mini um i also now think the new york times game obviously we've established they're communicating
with us i like now they're giving us suggestions of things we could do when we run out of shorts
they're like yeah they're like hey seven days of hell don't forget it's sitting right there for you
um bob flanagan came up in the last episode the
great puppet master at snl one person said i had always assumed lauren michaels was the puppet
master uh there's two there's two different uses there's two yeah meaning and uh someone wrote in
bob flanagan was an amazing puppet and mascot maker he was so fast and his work was highly
creative he famously designed and built a huge oz head for wicked on broadway in a week he built a
lot of muppets in addition to his snl work he worked for snl for 27 seasons he also designed
to build many of the mascots and puppets on john oliver's show including nutter butter the squirrel
he passed away in 2024 an incredibly
impressive body work i got to work with him a handful of times it looks like the puppet class
puppets were put up for auction after he passed away uh so they're floating around in someone's
collection and that makes me very happy that someone owns those puppets and uh bob flanagan
really truly was one of the best and i say this with great affection he kind of looked like a
muppet yeah he looked like a puppeteer for sure it's a vibe it's like a 1970s kind of i didn't
realize he passed away though i didn't know that either yeah no that's really sad obviously we
were not at snl when he passed away but he was a great anytime you worked with him the
of integrity and joy he brought to your dumb sketches was i mean again every department
does it snl but he was very special yeah absolutely can i shout out another puppeteer
too because i saw the george saunders lincoln and the bardo and there's a lot of puppets in it and
james ortiz i looked it up because i was like this guy's pretty awesome and then it's the guy who did
the hail mary uh rocky character as well it's pretty cool oh he did the voice for it too right
yeah exactly they left his voice i'm gonna shout out i can't believe this is we're gonna go a hat
trick on puppeteers
but here we are here we are this is what happens when when andy's gone um someone sent me in i'm
gonna do this as quickly as possible our security guard jim who's like seven feet tall one day i
brought in addy's rolling suitcase it's a pink rolling suitcase and i brought it in because
addy and i were flying that day and i had to bring her a suitcase to work because i was going to pick
her up straight from work and we're going to go to the airport and jim carried the suitcase and i
took a picture from him behind and i showed it um during corrections and i said uh that he looked
like godzilla carrying a bus
and because of that one of the jackals the people who watch corrections made an incredibly detailed
crochet puppet of jimzilla which is uh basically jim as godzilla in a suit carrying a little
suitcase that's incredible and then the last corrections uh i've been getting a lot of uh heat
recently for how the quality has just gone through the floor on corrections from my beloved viewers
uh i did a whole puppet show the last corrections i sat under the desk and jimzilla hosted corrections
and i haven't done any puppeteering and i'm gonna say guys for a first shot i think i did real good
i'm gonna google that what was the voice that you did for jim jim talks like this a lot of people
says it sounds a little bit a little bit like bernie sanders but he's very clipped and um i do
i'm gonna say you know it's a lot of you know again anybody who watches corrections you know
we're like 183 episodes in and pretty much you gotta start from the beginning it's a lot like
this podcast a lot of jokes on jokes a lot of jokes on jokes on jokes but um yeah it's fun
being a puppeteer i will say i did not think ahead and my knees i had a position where i'm
like my knees are fucking killing me you know that's your whole life if you remember all the
the stuff with the stork it was killing him and the stuff with the more uncomfortable the better
and then like i just visited sesame street recently with my kids with our buddy brian who's the
costumer and who did all of the digital shorts basically and like they basically have these like
little roller racers that scoot around on the on the floor so their knees don't hurt as much but
there you go can you see can you see my little that's good i mean it's
great this is really good and i made little i mean he's that's me reading the notes oh he's got
notes this guy's little suitcase some detail work yeah let's hear his voice hold on they can't all
be gut busters he's got a good stare we're able to keep this quick those beers on the long island
railroad aren't gonna drink themselves this is great seth good job thank you bud thank you bud
and again i didn't even know you know this is going to be so puppet forward
today but um we talked about the doorman sketch a great sketch uh with bill it was joyful by the
way joyful just to have bill on the pond but to talk about that sketch in particular we talked
about how uh the kids in the sketch were absolutely professionals uh because they they didn't break
and someone accurately pointed out maybe they just thought the sketch was as unfunny as the audience
burn it's a good i mean it is we talked about how like the sketch bombed and then we're like how do
these kids not laugh first it's like the whole
audience wasn't laughing staring at a grown-up talking with an unintelligible accent i liked it
yelling in his face a lot look i think it's clear we liked it but it is funny that we're like what
what were they on they didn't think that what professionalism super beta blockers um another
thing someone uh said you guys managed to jump over the funniest line in the whole skit which
is bobby saying we're kind of in a hurry they're holding a kidney for her and then the doormen still
want to tell the kids a story and bobby lets them because he knows it'll be faster that way
which is great i think i just totally
missed that i think i missed that too um people were very surprised to find out that uh not to be
was bill from that sketch i think i just assumed obviously because i knew the providence of it that
that was clear a lot of people thought it was nick cage from wicker man uh screaming not to be
not the b's the b's the b's yeah yeah that's a kind of different tone and then uh you know we
talked about how fred pronounced ucb juicy b and that sketch and this is i mean this is one nobody
can complain about this feedback whenever andy gets the spelling bee and it has over 80 plus
words you could play fred saying juicy b like that's a juicy b yeah juicy b that's a yeah we
might take you up on that one i like that yeah i just want to hear it now if you just indulge me
for one second i'll always indulge you what is that what is that what is it oh no not the b's
how have we not used that it is nuts we haven't used that not the b's not the b's the plural
isn't as good yeah you're right because he says not the b which is so specifically perfect i bet
we could edit that though you know yeah yeah i mean fucking nick cage
makes choices man good on you for being like always making choices always making choices uh
a quaid wrote you know apropos of nothing they said they were watching the 1998 film cities of
angels city of angels is that what it was called where uh nick cage is an angel with meg ryan i
believe with meg ryan uh more importantly uh dennis franz plays a fallen angel oh do you get
to see his butt right no but there's a diner scene where the where nick cage and dennis franz were
talking and uh one of the quays wrote in to say that nick cage is an angel and nick cage is an angel
to say uh it's very funny to see that scene and all you can think about is this podcast yeah it's
like digman and our favorite butt he is wearing like he does seem to be wearing a hospital gown
in the scene so maybe he gets up and we do get to see his butt probably just an outtake uh christopher
crawford who writes for nbc sports roto world reached out to say i can't believe it's taking
me this long to email that there's a player on the university of washington their starting tailback's
name is quaid car so first name quaid whoa yeah and nick cage is an angel and nick cage is an angel
whoa yeah that's a great name i mean very exciting probably that his parents were really big fans of
total recall and then just also dyslexic wait you think they were supposed to give it his last name
yeah i think that they didn't know which was which and so they they messed it up i see uh another
term somebody wants to coin is uh whenever yorm thinks something he is saying is normal he's uh
normalizing it quite no i don't quite know how we're gonna use that don't worry i'll make a
job for that it'll be like don't yormalize dirty dancing with your grandma oh that's a good one yeah
don't try to yormalize yeah that's all i can think about is like tweaking the bob marley song you know
yormala is it i think it's a peter tosh here we go ready fuck if we're not gonna see his butt i'm
like what's the point look it immediately looks better than anything they film now is he eating
pancakes with tomatoes french toast i think those are strawberries well set me up he is wearing a
hospital gown so his butt is out his butt is flat on the vinyl seats yeah do you think that's dennis
franz's request at this point he's like i'm not doing pants no more it's like when vin diesel's
like i don't think i should get punched in the face it's not what my fans want dennis franz is
like hey buddy yeah you put me in your movie you gotta show my ass they're gonna riot people are
gonna walk out of the theater you don't understand you're selling a ticket they paid their money they
probably does it during blocking right like what if
i come over here and i turn around and i'm wearing chaps you gotta give them what they want they know
we can't do chaps it's it's in los angeles why he's like all right what if i just got out of the
hospital it's only this is a pg movie dennis and that doesn't matter i do it on tv every night it's
fine trust me they saw it on blue they're gonna be fine with it fuck you really got a good chicago
they saw it on blue on blue i could show my ass once every month that was the deal i made with
uh what's his name abc yeah you know what abc is for always butt cheeks
you a bad boy hell yes got it hell to the motherfucking yes i feel like you've been
going to drop finger classes because you're just on it today seth you're so funny
seth wait listen to that one again my favorite part about that one is
is that it sounds like she actually doesn't find you very funny like listen to it
seth you're so funny
because at the end it's dripping with a little bit of like it's yeah it's dropping off i think
it's a thing of like if you're on a date with someone the first time they said you'd kind of
be excited and then maybe the second time you're like oh yeah oh dear she might think i suck yeah
you're getting pushed into the friend area there or there's also i mean i think all of us probably
are a little guilty of this which is and again we've we've ended up uh with women who have
excellent comedy taste uh i might even be with someone who's a little too hard to please on a
level but uh were you
like as a comedian who has like uh maybe a little snobby like if if people both men and women if
they laugh too much at you you're like oh this is gonna work out you're like laughing at the sea
stuff the sea levels no i always liked it no matter what you always were good with it i'll
take i'll take whatever i can get i think that these drops is actually like sort of indicative
of that yeah i was on a date once with a girl who uh was both a far too generous laugher and
and far too loud of a laugher and i was like i don't think it's gonna work you can take
we were at a restaurant i was like this is too much
looks like i hired you all right let me just see what happens here a little tighter tighter there
you go yeah no no no it's too much too much there there you go good grip nathaniel messenger
glutton hedonist former celestial body recent addition to the human race
yeah i like this this is good acting i don't believe you you want proof you hang out at a
library you can
speak every language you travel with the speed of thought and you're reading my mind right now
stop that you're doing it i would say uh you know i was trying to find an uh asmr video of
dennis franz eating yeah yeah yeah so this is actually i got you a good nighttime video that's
that's what the quaid didn't want to admit the how they found it i was trying to figure out what
the movie's about more than the obvious things of it you don't know what the movie's about you've
never seen this one i don't know what the movie's about i don't know what the movie's about i don't
i think i saw it when it came out but that's so long ago wait so are they both angels cage at the
point of this if my memory serves is a current angel yeah and franz is a fallen angel and cage
is trying to decide if he's gonna fall because he fell in love with meg ryan oh gotcha support

that's how prices work and it was already affordable well yeah and not just the furniture
they have fast affordable shipping across the years in canada with options for professional
assembly if you prefer a hands-off experience i think people would be a little suspicious if
every time we're on we're talking about how you got a new dresser from article that'd be a little
weird like what gives what gives with these one week dress it would seem like i was lying but i'm
not it honestly is dope and the things i've said before remain true which is that it was real wood

i have a question are cherubs angels technically aren't they baby angels they're baby angels i have
literally no idea i know that somebody listening right now who knows is like baby angels well
because i think that dennis ron has a little bit of a cherub kind of thing so to see his butt i
constantly carved in marble on statues and stuff yeah just like baby's butt it's also i
I will tell you, I also remember that City of Angels is not a full remake, but a remake of sorts of Wings of Desire, which is a Wim Wenders film with Peter Falk.
Peter Falk, another good ASMR, you know?
Yeah.
Is he a good ASMR?
I don't know.
I put two snorts in already.
Two snorts?
Yeah.
Somebody does timestamp all our snorts, which is really good.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh, wait.
Hey.
Hold on.
What happened?
Hold on.
Oh, hold on.
What happened?
You found something.
It had rolled me into another clip that was playing silently.
I got no sound.
They're on the beach.
They're all enjoying the feeling of sun on their face because they're fallen angels, I guess, based on what you said.
No, these are regular angels.
These are still the regular ones.
Yeah, yeah.
They're enjoying what it feels like.
Oh, shit.
Yes.
He got it.
Dennis Franz butt.
Fucking went right in the ocean.
Oh, we didn't even have to watch the whole movie.
It just rolled me into another clip.
Oh, connection.
And all of a sudden, he did.
Franz's butt was in City of Angels.
We got to see how many other things he got in point.
Long shot of him jiggling it down into the ocean.
By the way, just knowing now what it was, Keev, that you saw that made you say, hold on.
Hold on.
I really, in my head, I'm like, is Jack Black about to join the pod?
And it was just that you got an autoplay video.
So this must predate.
Wow.
Oh, you think Michael Eisner saw that and said, get that on my network today.
No, I think this scene predates the diner scene.
Like, I think this is the first time Cage is seeing him.
Oh, you almost get to see some penis there, too.
I think we're out of order.
So we got to watch this movie.
Yeah.
Wait, do you think that every time this was proposed, like, and maybe the director came up to him, like, what do you think, Dennis, about him, maybe?
And then he pretended, like, I don't know.
I can't.
Okay.
I mean, they're naked.
I'll do it.
It's showing it from underneath.
How did we not see?
His wing wing?
Yeah.
CG.
They removed it.
Also, do cherubs have little wieners, right?
They definitely have that.
I don't know if they're baby angels or just small angels with tiny penises, but they definitely have tiny wieners.
Hey, can I yormalize this real quick?
I mean, I think you already are, but go for it.
No, no.
It gets way worse.
So during the MacGruber TV series, you know, like, at one point he's, like, sort of being tied down by a guy who's going to torture him.
And he's almost in, like, a Jesus position.
He's on the cross.
He's about to be, like, operated on by, you know, Constantine Bach.
And we wanted to have a tiny little baby's penis because MacGruber has micropenis.
Yes.
And so I asked the guys who had made, like, these fake babies for us.
I was like, could you make us a little baby wang?
And then the network said they didn't want that.
They didn't want that on the show, like, that he would have a baby wang because it was on Peacock and they didn't think that that was a cool idea.
They didn't want that.
That's weird.
So, of course, I was like, I talked to the guys and I was like, look, how much is it to make a baby wiener?
And they were like, it's $1,200.
And I was like, okay, but if only I'm buying it, like, what's the deal for, like, what could you do it for?
And they were like, 300 bucks.
And I seriously thought about it.
But then I was like, what's happening in my life that I'm making these kinds of decisions?
So I didn't do it.
Yormalize.
I'm actually shocked by that.
Yeah.
That I didn't do it.
This is the opposite of a yormalize.
The fact that you didn't spend $300 for having them make you a prosthetic baby wiener to put on him.
Well, you know what I thought about?
I thought about trying to put.
My suitcase afterwards of, like, because I'm not going to throw away something that's $300.
Like, going back home, I'm like, am I really going to commit to that?
You know what I mean?
Like, what if you threw that out?
Like, something might happen.
That was, you know, the garbage men are, I don't know.
It just seems like the residual effects of doing that.
I think you're really growing up.
Thanks.
Yeah, you're really growing up.
Thank you, guys.
When they said no, did they, did someone say, we're peacock, not wee cock?
Seth, Seth, you're so funny.
Fuck that one up.
I think, like, I don't know.
I think even, even your drop was like, are we going for that?
I don't know about this one, guys.
You dropped Kiva in the chat.
We could talk about it.
It's officially November as we're recording this.
The top Thanksgiving movies of all time.
Yeah, that was because right before you got on, me and Jorn were talking about how, like,
we were saying, obviously, it's going to be hard for us to get together on Thanksgiving.
And Jeff was saying, could you guys just do, like, a quick Q&A one before then?
Because he won't even have editors working that can, like, get the episode.
Yeah.
Can we, can we bank something?
And I was like, me, me, me and Jorn just watch a Thanksgiving movie.
What do the Quades think about that?
Oh, wait, I don't like that, man.
I mean, I feel like it's a no-brainer what my favorite Thanksgiving movie is of all time.
Yeah.
Yeah, we were, that was one of those.
Planes, Trains, Automobiles, right?
Yeah.
What's interesting is I had said The Family Stone, but that's a Christmas movie.
But I think I was thinking of Home for the Holidays.
That's a Thanksgiving movie, right?
The Jodie Foster movie with Robert Downey Jr.?
Oh, Holly Hunter.
But did Jodie Foster direct it?
I think.
That might be worth it.
Home for the Holidays.
I remember there was an episode of Orange is the New Black.
I think it started second season.
And I was like, why is this so much, nothing personal to that show, so much better?
Two reasons.
One, they shot in a real prison, so it like had real fucking danger to it.
It just like was a different tone.
And then also Jodie Foster directed it.
So yeah, Home for the Holidays is a 1995 American comedy drama film directed by Jodie Foster.
And yes, you're right.
Holly Hunter's the star.
Robert Downey Jr.
Anne Bancroft.
Charles Durning.
Dylan McDermott.
Claire Danes.
Okay.
Well, if we do this idea, Seth, you would vote for Planes, Trains.
Planes, Trains is, I mean, that's obviously just stone cold classic.
Yeah.
I'm going to say something real quick.
And I apologize for what will most certainly be overlap with my family trips podcast.
But I was in Pittsburgh this weekend with my parents, my brother, his wife, my boys.
And we decided to watch a movie and show my boys Ferris Bueller's Day Off for the first time.
Yeah.
Been a long time since I've seen that movie.
It's really, really good.
I'm just going to say a perfect film.
My kids love it.
Genuinely perfect film directed so artfully.
Feels like a cartoon at times, but not cartoony.
Like there are moments where I feel like I'm watching a Tex Avery cartoon.
It's great.
He's so fucking charming from Jump.
And then I also really like that it's sort of just educational.
Like they basically spend a day like learning about things, like going to the museum.
But that's the thing.
The museum scene where there's just like.
Shots of famous artworks.
Yeah.
While like beautiful music plays.
It's an education to anybody watching it.
And the composition is great too.
Like the way that they're standing is all.
It's great.
It's briskly edited.
It feels inspired at every turn.
And then it's got great comedy like set piece bits.
Yeah.
There's also.
And again, I actually think we should watch this movie and talk about it.
So I don't want to talk about it more.
But the scene where he's on the float.
And obviously there's so many people there.
Like there's a crowd.
There's a crowd of people while they're making this movie.
Yeah.
And it's not CGI.
It's just enough people that you really feel like you're watching a fucking movie.
Yeah.
Where you just are like, look at this.
Look at this.
What they did for this.
But it's funny because it's also like the Back to the Future thing where like when you're
a kid, I was just like, oh, he's singing this.
Like this is not like him lip syncing to something.
I was just like, fuck, he's great.
He's a great singer.
Yeah.
And also it does two songs is the most shocking thing.
It does Don Quixote and then goes into Twist and Shout.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
And you're like, oh, and you're fine with it.
But it is like.
The whole song.
Yes.
And does two in a row.
Yeah.
Now we're just in a concert.
And it was my favorite part when I was a kid.
Yeah.
You're right.
And as a kid, I had no concept that it wasn't him and that it was the Beatles.
There's a very strange thing that I hadn't like I hadn't seen it for probably 25 years.
And but there was a period of time where I maybe saw it 25 times in a year.
Yeah.
And so at the end of Twist and Shout.
Where it's just like, ah, and it keeps cutting to people in the crowd doing it.
I realized every one of their faces I saw.
I had nostalgia like I was looking through an old yearbook like, oh, that guy.
Yeah.
I remember her like just crazy.
So it was it was the Von Steuben Day Parade, which is a German American.
Oh, it was a real thing.
I wonder if they shot it on the day of the Von Steuben Day Parade and everybody was there.
That's what I'm saying.
So they shot at the real parade.
Right.
And then I think they probably.
They picked up shots when like you're seeing the people dancing on the steps and stuff.
Oh, yeah.
Some version of that.
But it's great.
I like that they had a parade on like a Tuesday.
You're like, why would they do the parade on that?
Yeah.
A little bit of a logical.
And then they use Chicago radio stations to broadcast open invitations for people to show up to be extras in a John Hughes movie.
Actually, tomorrow, my wife is doing the same thing of inviting whoever can to Met Stadium so that she can get as many crowd members as possible.
We did that for Popstar for some of those forum things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I ran into my dear personal friend Dua Lipa the other day.
And, of course, her husband is working with your wife.
That's right.
Callum.
Callum.
I just met him the other day.
He seemed like a stand-up guy.
Did he seem like maybe possibly a future James Bond to you?
I don't know.
I hope for his sake.
Yeah, that'd be way cool.
He's really tall and, you know, tall to drink a water.
That's where Andy is today, right?
It's down to the three of them?
Yeah.
I think so.
Yeah, he had to fly to London.
It's Callum, Jack Loudon, and Andy for James Bond.
That's right.
I hope.
I'm very excited.
I'm very excited.
I'm very excited for him.
I hope he'll come back and share his audition with us.
I bet he will.
Oh, he's going to be so grumpy.
I mean, it's just very unfair for him to fly somewhere and be jet-lagged for an audition.
That is not what he's built for.
Oh, so I have a question.
Like, off the top of your head, my favorite two John Hughes movies are Planes, Trains,
Automobiles, and Ferris Bueller.
But are you guys like Breakfast Club people?
Which is a great movie as well.
I think Yorm's a Home Alone boy.
Oh, right.
Of course.
But he wrote.
Yeah.
Didn't direct, obviously.
Does that count?
- If that's right for me, I would say probably
Ferris Bueller and Home Alone, yeah.
Yeah, Ferris Bueller definitely was my number one.
But yeah, I love Trains, Planes, but I don't know that that would be. Home Alone, though.
We watch Home Alone basically every Christmas.
Try to go see Home Alone 3, though, guys.
That's a real fucking treat.
Well, Home Alone 3 and Uncle Buck Boy?
Oh, yeah.
Like the kid has a bowl cut and then there's almost like the nihilists kind of guy.
It's like criminals in like unitards, as I remember.
It's like really goes off the rails.
This is straight to video, right?
It's not good.
Yes.
Yeah, big time.
We had a thing where it's interesting where your kids love Home Alone so much
and they've watched one and two a bunch.
And then my kids have now just aged in the place where they will search for movies on, you know, Apple TV.
And one of my kids was like, Dad, they made a Home Alone 3.
And you have to explain like, oh, no, that's a shitty cash grab.
Don't do that.
That's not real.
No, it'll ruin the first two.
But then also they're kind of at the place where they don't care.
Yeah.
You know, they're like, it doesn't matter.
Dad.
Dad.
More of what we want.
Here, I just got to remember what this one is.
Slow down, Yoram.
Turbot White.
Okay, sorry.
I just want to remember one.
What did that say?
Turbo White?
Oh, Turbot White.
Turbot White.
Yeah, you're Turbot.
Hey, somebody was at a SNL themed Halloween party.
A lot of 40-year-old people at the party.
So it was our era of SNL was very well represented.
And then Quaid wrote in and said, if you guys had full access,
to the SNL wardrobe library, what SNL character would you dress up like for Halloween?
Oh, fucking hell.
I mean, I would be too embarrassed to do anything.
But, Keith, what's yours since I'm passing the buck?
I feel like the Falconer's a good costume because it's got a big old beard and you'd have a Falconer on your arm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wonder how much Falconer recognition you would get this day.
Yeah, but I guess I also like it just because even if you didn't, you'd know you're like a mysterious old man with a Falconer.
Yeah, I would still.
If his voice wasn't so irritating.
I would love to make a Falconer movie, you know, but it's really hard to go, oh, Donald, like for an entire movie is like a bit much.
The fact that Yoram is like, you know that when Forte gets a little irritating, like you have the biggest cushion for like what you will bear for Forte.
Yeah, I'll do anything for that, too.
You know how like Anchorman Ron Burgundy is essentially doing his Robert Goulet?
Yeah.
And they were like, I love doing my Robert Goulet.
How do we make a movie?
What else could it be?
Oh, he could be.
He could be a big newscaster in the 70s.
And that allows us.
I think you could take the Falconer vibe, the parts you like, and then create something new for a movie, I'm saying, for Forte.
I feel like Donald would have to be quite violent, like a lot of pecking at people's eyes out, too.
But that's just my take on it.
They're excellent at making CG birds now.
And you can make him a puppet in close-ups and then a CG when he needs to fly.
I mean, Keeve, you're a fucking owl from.
Exactly.
Those guys made an amazing owl.
Incredible.
Yeah.
Back to puppets, guys.
Yeah.
Should we call this the puppet episode?
Both Rob Klein.
Rob Klein and John Solomon wrote in to confirm that Steve Higgins was the one who suggested the puppet smoke in the puppet sketch.
Oh, right.
Also, I was accused of gaslighting you, Jorm, and I think I did.
We talked about how you're Easter boys.
You were like, oh, you have something on your show like that?
I'm like, what?
And then Keeve was like, I think you're taking it from John Oliver.
But we do have a sketch called You Burn, and it definitely has that voice.
And so I'm sorry, bud.
You guys, I was waiting for this moment because I absolutely knew that.
So I was like, yeah, go ahead.
Yeah.
You're right.
In my defense, I don't really watch my show.
No.
It's not a big bear.
Yeah.
Sap, you a bad boy.
Aw.
I like it every time, Jorm.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm starting not to like it.
Also, the bummer about this is that I have to keep my hands on the button.
You don't have to.
I go a whole fucking time.
It's a real waste.
Somebody did.
All right, hold on.
Chris is a part of an online trivia league with several friends and colleagues.
My buddy Ramsey created a special one-day trivia contest focused solely on the Lonely Island.
12 questions.
You guys will know them all, but these are the 12 questions for listeners of the pod.
Let us know how many you got.
They said that 12 was the one that most people missed because it's not really a Lonely Island question.
It's a Lonely Island podcast question.
On December 16, 2006, Saturday Night Live released an uncensored version of a sketch online.
What was reported as a first for a scripted broadcast network comedy circumventing FCC restrictions?
What word was bleeped all 16 times it was sung?
Oh, my dick.
Yeah.
We did that.
We did that partially.
Did we talk about it on the Dick in a Box episode?
But it was because so many people thought it was cock in a box.
Oh, wait.
No, I thought it was.
I thought it was.
I'm on a boat, though, wasn't it?
Because you say it 16 times.
I remember because I counted it with Betsy Torres, who was our censor.
No, but it was.
It was Dick in a Box got put out on as an uncensored one.
And I remember being really excited about that.
Was your argument that you were like, we need people to know we're not saying cock in a box?
Yeah, I think that's part of how we convince them to do it.
Right.
That you were actually saying, like, you have to release uncensored to let people know it's not as dirty as they think.
Yes.
Truly.
That's great.
Because we didn't think that song was as funny when it was cock in a box.
Because then it's like trying to get the joke about being gross.
It also has too much of a rhyme in it.
Yeah, it also sounds better.
Like it's a bad near rhyme.
Yeah, exactly.
This episode is sponsored by Blue Chew, the number one brand for better sex.
Keith, you were just telling me about how much Blue Chew has changed your life.
Seth, you're projecting it onto me, but we both know that you asked Jeff.
You said, Jeff, can we get a Blue Chew sponsorship?
Because it's really draining my bank account.
I'm going through them.
And I was like, on one hand, I was impressed.
Because, I mean, that means you have a really healthy sexual appetite that's still going strong at your age.
You know what?
You know what, Keith?
I see the mistake we're both making.
We are replaying a conversation we had with Jorma.
Oh, that's right.
And remember, he said, these were his words.
Guys, Blue Chew Gold is better sex than a tablet.
They combine four ingredients into one powerful solution.
Two ingredients get you hard physically, and two support arousal and desire in the brain.
It works fast and lasts.
Have a complete experience in the bedroom with Blue Chew Gold.
You can trust me.
I'm Jorma.
That is so crazy.
What's even crazier is that you remembered verbatim what he said.
And I was there.
Well, I wrote it down.
Because I've never heard him be so passionate.
And so I took out my little memo pad and wrote it down word for word.
Because I thought it was important for our listeners to hear it.
That is so crazy.
And we've got a special deal for our listeners.

So, I'm shocked to say, 1-0 Keeve.
He didn't seem shocked.
Lazy Sunday wasn't the first SNL digital short, but the first to go viral before entering the theater to see the Chronicles of Narnia.
Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell stop at a deli to buy snacks to sneak into the theater.
What two treats complete the equation blank plus blank equal crazy delicious correct order required?
We don't need to answer that because it's so easy, but, um, Keeve, do you remember, like, when we were, we were in, um, Seattle?
Was it Seattle?
Remember the baseball game we went to?
We went to a Mariners game.
It said crazy delicious.
Wait, can you not do it, Jorm?
No, he can't.
No, it's fucking Mr. Pibb and, and, uh, and Red Vines.
All right, great.
Yeah, he knew it.
But, yes, was it after something happened or was it when they introduced us or what was it?
We were at a Mariners game.
It was when there was, like, a home run ding dong.
I think it said crazy delicious.
Yeah.
And we were like, did they do that for us?
And they were like, I don't think so.
By the way, just Mr. Pibb and Red Vines was, was something that we would actually have at movie theaters in Berkeley, California, where we grew up.
And we would go to, like, the theater and I remember I would take the Red Vines, put it in as a straw and drink Mr. Pibb out of it.
I mean, that's what you want to do.
That's living right there.
Oh, yeah, big time.
Now, Seth, as an East Coast guy, do you think Twizzlers are better than Red Vines?
Oh, fuck no.
No.
Twizzlers are shit.
I will just say.
They're, like, rubber weird.
They're, like, fake.
We ate Twizzlers so much more that I never actually thought about.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We ate Twizzlers so much more that I never actually thought about it.
Well, Red Vines weren't on the East Coast and Twizzlers weren't on.
Right.
That's what I mean.
So I never actually thought, even to this day, I don't have an opinion.
You didn't even know how shit they were.
I didn't know.
I'm finding out right now.
It's heartbreaking.
They taste different.
By the way, if you're listening right now, feel free to, you know, gather around your fellow Lonely Island fans, pause after I read a question and see how well you do.
In a series of SNL digital shorts, Andy and Bill Hader attempted to pitch producer Lorne Michaels their sci-fi concept for a world in which cats shoot lasers.
As the series progresses, four directors.
Or in two cases, occasional directors are brought on board to help with the pitch.
Name one.
That's pretty easy.
We don't have to do that, but that's a good one for you.
I don't know if I could name all four.
I'll take this.
Why don't I try and do all four?
Okay.
Well, Spielberg, because I did that one.
Boom.
James Cameron.
Two.
Fucking hell.
Who are the other two?
Well, they're occasional directors, so that's helpful.
Oh, okay.
I would say it's not the first thing you know them for.
What are the other two?
So does Tom Hanks count, then?
Tom Hanks does count.
Oh, okay.
Gotcha.
And Steve Martin?
Correct.
Well done.
Okay.
Yeah.
L.A. Story?
Did he direct L.A. Story?
God, that is a fucking probably perfect movie, too.
Just like a weird format, but really great.
Very, very weird format and very fun.
This says Steve Martin didn't direct any movies.
Oh.
He directed some TV.
He wrote movies.
Who's on family trips in 10 minutes that's going to cut this off?
Oh, I think a friend of yours, Sarah Chalk.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, the Chalkster.
That's fantastic.
She's in The Boo, if anyone knows that little more Lonely Island trivia.
I'm going to turbo-white this.
What is the 1993 Snoop Dogg song that mentions using oil of L.A.?
Oh, fuck.
Johnson & Johnson.
This is a key.
Baby Powder and a Men's Fragrance, introduced by Davidoff in 1988.
I might be turbo-white on this one.
Lody Dody?
How do you say it?
Lody Dody.
Lody Dody.
See, I knew I'd turbo-white it.
Turbo-white.
Yeah, that really deserves it.
Lody Dody is a Dougie Fresh song.
But what did you say, Seth?
Oh, so they got it right.
I said. No, no, no.
They got it right.
He did a re. kind of a redo
where you change
the lyrics
gotcha
la-di-da-di
we like to party
yeah but he did say
Lodi Dodi
Lodi Dodi
we like to podi
I didn't know
I don't
again
I admitted
I said I was gonna
turbo white it
obviously
if it was spelled
L-A-R-T
D-A-R-T-Y
wait that was one of the
questions on ours?
no hold on
in his 1993 song
Lodi Dodi
future Lonely Island
collaborator Snoop Dogg
mentions using
oil of LA
Johnson & Johnson
baby powder
in a men's fragrance
introduced by Davidoff
in 1988
in Oakland Nights
from the unauthorized
Bash Brothers experience
we learned that
everything in Jose Canseco's
bay adjacent apartment
smells like the same cologne
name the fragrance
shit
I'm assuming it's
Dracar Noir
or Polar Sport
no
that's why Mark
Mark prefers Dracar Noir
oh shit
it's gotta be Polar Sport
no?
no
no but they said
it's by Davidoff
so is it
cool water?
cool water
nicely done
that's a good
that's a tough one
that's really hard
that's good
yeah cool water
good for you guys
fucking detail work
step into my crib
everything smell like
cool water
Jeff but since you're
eventually gonna ask
what to name this episode
I think you should call it
the episode that never starts
or Lodi Dodi
we had a topic
but because
what was it?
we were gonna talk about
this year
the year we were in
on the podcast
in 2011
Jorm went to Kenya
to write an article
for a magazine
like a travelogue magazine
called
what is the magazine called?
it was called Afar
Afar
I don't know if it's still
a magazine actually
so we went all the way
to Kenya
and he goofed around there
and just kind of
in Nairobi
and he met a local rapper
blah blah blah
made a little song with him
now you're calling him
Nairobi and Lodi Dodi
I'm sorry
I kind of
I was in the scramble
I kind of missed that
but well that's one
for the next time
no Andy
we'll do
your adventures
the fifth single
from the Lonely Island's
debut album
Incredibad
the lead single
from Slim Thug's
2005 album
Already Platinum
and a 2020 film
about two friends
Mia and Mel
attempting to take back
control of their
cosmetics
company from
industry giant
Claire Luna
all share what name
that's a really
long clue
yeah
like a boss
two new Lonely Island
digital shorts
appeared during
SNL's 50th season
and here I go
the group collaborated
for the first time
with a musician
who was surely
already familiar
with boom mics
and clappers
named the musician
Charlie
there was actually
a good comment
about this
I like that we're
testing ourselves
on Lonely Island trivia
we're playing a trivia game
with our listeners
well the cool water one
I would say we technically
got wrong
I said Dracar first
well but you're just
thinking about yourself
as always
I'm sorry
Dracar Noir
by the way
smells fucking great
and I will just
promote this
smells better
on a lady
whoa
shots fired
right
that's an exciting
take
yeah
hot take
oh just because
we talked about
here I go
Aaron wrote it
I'm a huge fan
of the pod
and finally decided
to show my daughters
10 and 5
some of my favorite
Lonely Island videos
they're particularly
obsessed with
here I go
and Jack Sparrow
tonight we walked
by a group of
police officers
and the girls
excitedly exclaimed
I'm reporting you
to the cops
and I can tell you
there's nothing
quite like panicking
as you hear two
adorable little voices
gleefully shouting
at a group of
New York police officers
the pigs
yeah the coppity cops
hey look
there's pigs over there
that's not cool
in 1911
a museum employee
stole a painting
from the Louvre
after keeping it
for 28 months
he was caught
trying to sell it
to an art dealer
in Florence, Italy
and the 2016 film
pop star
never stopped stopping
Connor for real
sings that the subject
to this painting
looks like uncooked bread
name the painting
the subject
now this is actually
the reason why
the Mona Lisa
is famous
is because of the theft
it was on like
every newspaper
in the world
and that's the only
reason that bullshit
is fucking famous
is that true?
yeah for real
oh my god
it became very
very very famous
for being a stolen
I know it was because
newspapers were like
now a thing
and so it was like
you know global
in that way
I'm very excited
to get to Mona Lisa
I don't know that
I'd say that it's
a piece of shit
I don't think it's
a piece of shit
I just think it's like
whatever
certainly it's a position
Connor took
it's the only reason
that piece of shit
is famous
well have you been
to the Louvre
and like everyone's
crowding around
and like it's just
like an Instagram thing
this is a good
well no I guess
I don't know
this one sounds
harder than it is
but I do like it
it's 2008
the Boston Celtics
have defeated
the Los Angeles Lakers
in the NBA Finals
in the post game interview
an act for a reaction
a Celtics star
yells a three word phrase
it's 2009
Andy Akiva and T-Pain
are on a boat
they yell the same phrase
what is it?
I like that question
yeah it's a good one
it's anything is possible
that's great
the Just Two Guys
series of songs
features Akiva and Jorma
as guy one and guy two
though Andy isn't heard
on their tracks
he could be seen
in their videos
portraying their hated enemy
what is his name?
it's also a very good
trivia question
yeah Steve
these aren't clown questions
no
no but
he sort of has
a last name right
a middle and last name
like would it be
Steve the Cunt
you think his middle name's
the?
yeah
ah interesting
maybe it's bonus points
for his middle name
for his middle name
here's another
good one
the song Jack Sparrow
features Michael Bolton
who has become obsessed
with Pirates of the Caribbean
films
after the boys protest
he eventually
sings about
three other movies
name all three
that's a good deep cut too
I think the hardest one
is probably
Aaron Brockovich
probably
I think so
that's the one
that I don't remember
right away
cause Scarface
everyone will remember
and Forrest Gump
you think?
yeah
those are
both easier than
Aaron Brockovich
yeah
it's also very funny
because I don't know
there's a real like
he likes like
three real dude movies
and then Aaron Brockovich
I may have talked about this
but just to normalize
for a second
did I talk about
how I was sort of
obsessed with Scarface
and like
whenever I would
start a new project
I would ask for
Scarface posters
to be put
in my director's room
just to sort of
confuse people
where you're like
man that guy
fucking loves Scarface
and like
and then
I had this painting
made of my dad
as Scarface
cause he
I would photoshop things
and then send them
to this dude in Vietnam
and then you'd get
like an oil painting back
and so it's
Al Pacino
occasionally we
would call my dad
Weird Al Pacino
and it was him
shooting the movie
and he was like
a machine gun
like screaming
but my dad's face in it
was super calm
and weirdly
it's more psychopathic
to have a dude
shooting a machine gun
looking really
I'll put that one
in the thread
if anyone wants to see that
it is really good
what's a good drop
for Yorm
Keeve
like just having
somebody be like
um
what's that
yeah something
kind of
huh
okay
okay
Yorm alive
you crazy
Yorm
you crazy
crazy
Yorm you crazy
you can have a shirt
that says
I mean
Yorm having a drop
to play
anytime that we
don't know what to say
and then Yorm just drops
his own drop on himself
I agree Yorm
he needs one like that
you said it
amen Yorm
amen brother
I agree
with their 2007 Emmy win
the Lonely Island
needs only to win
a Grammy and Oscar
and a Tony
to attain the coveted
EGOT status
that's right
the song
Everything is Awesome
from the Lego Movie
however did receive
an Academy Award nomination
in the Lonely Island
featured on the track
What Canadian Duo
Performed It
I mean again
those are good questions
I forgot they're Canadian
you forgot that
Tegan and Sarah
are Canadian
Tegan and Sarah
I knew one of them was
I always remember
one of them was
you guys want to check
your text real quick
from the picture
oh yeah there he is
it's so good
it's really good
but look how psychopathic
he looks
yeah
I mean it's really great
it also like
is a borderline
Mad Magazine cover
he does look a little bit
Alfred E. Newman-y
yeah
Scarface
yeah
weird
Al Pacino
it's like
it's a should say what
me say hello
to your little friends
Seth
you're so funny
thanks lady
what's her name
sorry I should call her lady
Berica
thanks Erica
Berica
with a B
Berica
Berica
that's an interesting name
yeah Berica
it doesn't seem like
maybe you just misheard it
no this is
this is a good
good homie of Greg Chun's
I find that hard to alleve
well we can't make fun of her
after she did this work
I'm not making fun of it
I'm doing wordplay
thanks Berica
it's just that we have
such regular
typical names
that we feel like
we're kind of on a high horse
for making fun of names
yeah
that's weird to judge anyone
yeah
but Kiva over here
fucking getting on his own
all right here we go
this is the last question
in the quiz
I like that most of this episode
was letting somebody else
write a quiz for us
burrito brain
street gulp
quaid bump
are all phrases
introduced on Lonely Island
and Seth Meyers podcast
in a repurposed clip
from an SNL sketch
Jack Black dramatically
sings the name of a word game
before you find out
whether it's a word game
Andy has quibbled recently
and named the game
and so that was the one
people missed the most
and so
really
so speaking of which
should we play that clip
real quick
yeah let's do it
spelling bee
spelling bee
funny story
on the day
that they recorded
which I couldn't attend
obviously
my reasons are my own
not only did I get
queen bee clean
I also got a quintfecta
which is
wordle in two
connections in reverse rainbow
strands
spangram first
no hints
letterbox in two words
um
did it feel good
yeah
it felt real good
man
I bet this episode
wasn't as good
without bill
right
hit us in the titties
was it worse without bill
I mean it's no comment
on me not being there
I'm never there
that's fine
that's totally fine
things can be crazy
in a person's life
Seth
alright
love you guys
later quids
