The podcast features a lively, self-deprecating exchange among the hosts as they reflect on their comedic routines, personal habits, and shared cultural references. A central theme is their mutual "snort laughing," which they attribute to watching *Peppa Pig*, a habit that has influenced their comedic style and interaction. The conversation also explores the connections between British and Australian children’s shows, noting how *Bluey* and *Peppa Pig* shape modern portrayals of parenting and fatherhood in comedy. A major highlight is a deep dive into the Shy Ronnie music video sequel with Rihanna, where the hosts praise its execution, emotional authenticity, and the team’s commitment to consistency and creativity. They acknowledge behind-the-scenes challenges, such as limited sets and tight production timelines, and discuss how these hurdles fostered innovation. The episode also includes playful commentary on internet memes, pop culture references (like *Badgers* or *Three Amigos*), and the origins of inside jokes, such as “quump bump” and “gaping snort.” Ultimately, the hosts celebrate both the humor and the community that fuels their content, emphasizing audience interaction, shared experiences, and the joy of creating relatable, accessible comedy. The episode ends with a nod to future content, including a potential voice note from Jon Hamm and plans to explore audience-submitted questions in future episodes.
I'm yorming it and having a few bites as we begin.
Ooh, what a pig. What a little piggy.
Ooh.
Yeah.
The walls of someone's glass house just shattered.
I know. Keep pulling a full yorm.
Disgusting.
Keep opening with a yorm.
I don't do that.
The last couple of bites before diving into it.
I don't do that anymore.
The problem is, Keith, is I can just tell by your chew it's not a burrito.
It is Mexican, though.
Are you taco-brained?
A case?
Yeah, I'm getting taco-ed.
And what was on it?
You know, it had melted cheese, prove it.
I guess, wait.
It had melted cheese, so it was maybe, I think some would consider that a quesadilla.
Andy, I wasn't going to wear this sweater because you weren't on, but then I decided to pull it off.
Oh, it's a Frisbee sweater.
Yeah, somebody sent me a Frisbee sweater after Frisbee died.
After Frisbee's very, very, very, very unfortunate passing.
Yeah.
Oh, look, you've finally come around to understanding the right way to talk about this.
I don't have to protest too much.
It's really nice.
Is that, like, someone's art and it got embroidered?
I don't know.
I don't know the answer to it, Keith.
We'll put a pic of it in the show notes.
Seth, Seth, that picture is so much nicer than Frisbee looked.
What the hell?
Oh, my God.
Everybody, it's like a real role play.
No, I'm sorry.
Everybody's switching roles here.
All of a sudden now, Keith's the guy wolfing down Mexican food.
Jorm's the guy shitting all over my dog.
Just pissing on his grave.
Like, let's stay in our lanes, guys.
Sorry.
Let's stay in our lanes.
10 p.m. on Sunday when we're doing this.
Woo-hoo!
Obviously, some different time zones.
We've got four different time zones.
Four different time zones right now.
Oh, are we?
Yeah, I'm central.
Wow, four different time zones.
That's fantastic.
And I just spent the last hour getting ready for a three-person podcast.
And then Andy came on.
I had no warning.
So, I'm wildly underprepared for the podcast.
He texted the thread.
Oh, when did I get the text?
Like, six minutes ago.
Yeah, so that wouldn't have helped.
That wouldn't have helped, Keith.
I did my last chip, and then I'm joining the other side.
And then the podcast officially starts.
I've been snort laughing a lot more, guys.
I mean, have you noticed that?
I do a lot of. Oh, it's going to be harder to differentiate between us.
In your whole life, or just here?
No, yeah.
I don't know if it was like my kids were watching Peppa Pig or something like that.
But now I'm doing this all the time.
Oh, yeah.
So, if you do a good joke, just know that that's me.
And you think you started doing that because you watch Peppa Pig now?
Peppa Pig is very good, Keith.
So, yeah.
Maybe.
I don't know.
This makes me understand, Jorm, that you don't really pay attention to my laughs,
because I've been snort laughing our whole lives together.
Because of Peppa Pig?
A hundred percent because of Peppa Pig, yeah.
Nice.
Yeah.
You know, the creator of Bluey worked on Peppa Pig.
Did he really?
That makes sense.
That does make sense.
Is Peppa. Is Peppa British?
Or is she. She's British, not Australian, right?
Yeah, she's British.
Yeah, she's British.
Across the pond.
But Bluey is Australian, right?
Yeah, Bluey's Australian.
I'm just telling you what I read, Akiva.
Yeah, I'm just trying to clarify that they're not. That's all part of the colonies.
Got it.
So, it was because it was a British colony.
Yeah.
They worked together.
Prison colony.
Jorm, I told you that they put out Bluey's Sleepy Time as an official single, right?
Oh, bing bong.
That's exciting.
Yeah.
That's our fave.
I'm excited about that.
That was not a real snort laugh.
You're just snorting.
No, that was just a pause, like the way that they do it in Peppa Pig.
It's hard to differentiate, but you'll know the difference.
I don't know if you guys have moms who just constantly ask questions to fill silence,
but I was watching Peppa Pig with my daughter and my mom,
and halfway through the fifth episode, my mom said,
Oh, so Peppa's British?
Through the fifth episode?
Yeah, it's like that thing when your mom says something that you're like,
I love you so much, and I don't know how to answer.
Right, it's like halfway through Downton Abbey.
Yeah.
This is England?
Oh, it's England.
Seth, is this what you said?
Mm.
Did you say that?
Yeah.
I was like, um, mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
God, I wish they could see your face, but I'll never do video.
But for me, it's nice to see it.
You'll have a real ear for accents, Mom.
You only need it.
I didn't know.
I thought you didn't have a B-side to that.
I thought you were done.
I would have interrupted.
You only needed one hour.
And, uh. And Daddy Pig.
Daddy Pig, I like. What's the name of the dad in Bluey?
Oh, Bandit.
Bandit.
Bandit's like a real winner.
Like, you want to be that dad.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, there's much written about this,
that Bandit is, like, aspirational to the point where it's too good,
and it makes dads look bad.
Yeah.
But he's still, like, a little bit. Like, he's still. Like, he's not, like. He's still a little dumb, and I get it.
Like, dads in pop culture are always going to be presented as a little bit dumb.
Right.
But, like. They're not.
Right.
But Daddy Pig is a fucking joke.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Daddy Pig, I can get behind.
Like, I'm like. I'm like, I can be Daddy Pig.
That's not a problem.
Oh, yeah.
But, like. Oh, my God, Joram.
What?
What?
What, Andy?
I'm proud of Joram for how long he's stuck with us.
I'm proud of. I don't remember them even snorting on the show.
They snort on the show?
He. Yeah, they snort constantly.
Got it.
To Addie's favorite show, and she says,
Dad, you know what I want to watch?
And I say, what?
And then she just sings. She sings the whole theme song like it's a hint.
Oh, yeah.
She'll be like. That's really funny.
To all of our listeners without kids, I'm so sorry.
But, you know what?
Also, like, hopefully this will help inspire you to have them.
I would argue the opposite, but yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
One way or the other.
As long as it's inspiring.
You're like, hey, are you young, virile, and cool?
Want to be lame, old, and boring?
Want to cash it all in for nothing?
Which do you think is better?
Peppa Pig or Bluey Wade on the comments?
Yeah, yeah.
Don't go to Coachella.
Go whoo?
By the way, what was the term in the music you said we were listening to in the early aughts?
I feel like they had a really big Coachella this year.
Indie Sleaze.
Indie Sleaze, like, kind of owned Coachella.
That's old news, though.
Yeah.
Perfect for this conversation.
I just don't want anyone to think I think it's new.
So, Yoram, how was Coachella?
I loved your outfit you were posting on your TikTok.
You look so sexy.
Thank you.
I have risen.
Oh, no.
Hey, Yoram.
Yoram, you're on the road promoting your movie.
Yes.
And I feel like you're not doing any of the work for I Want Stronts.
Like, I'm out on the road.
I'm posting, like, two, three times a day about I Want Stronts.
Each Stront gets a rating from Seth and a shout-out.
I'm going to go to a new Stront tomorrow.
I actually was on the plane from San Francisco to New Orleans, where I am now.
And I met a woman who owns a restaurant called Akamaya.
So, I'll give a little shout-out there.
And then I'm going to her new restaurant tomorrow, which, if any of you guys can pronounce this
name, that's what it is, because she came to see the movie today.
Okay, great.
So, you already are wearing the shirt.
So, this will be a really unbiased. She gave me a shirt today.
This will be an unbiased review.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to fucking scare her tomorrow.
Does I Want Stronts do reviews?
I mean, according to your Instagram posts, they do.
And they're in terms of ALFs.
Well, no.
There was ALFs.
Then we did Smints for another one.
Okay.
You're trying out all the different things.
I'm trying out different ones.
See what works.
I'm trying out different things.
And it's been a lot of fun so far.
I was in St. Louis and Kansas City with Brooks.
I know that fucking rubs you the wrong way, Andy.
No.
Are you kidding me?
He's your favorite person to go on a road trip with.
I'm just so happy for you.
Wait.
Can each of us have a different rating?
So, it's like yours, Smints, ALFs.
So, people can know.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a work in progress.
And we only give good reviews, which is also kind of nice to go to a place with no negativity.
Yeah.
We're just totally positive.
Brooks and I wrapped it up at like 10.
Our second show ended at 10 p.m. in Casey last night.
And he admitted afterwards, he kept saying we chased the dragon.
Because we should have just gone to bed.
We didn't need to go get hamburgers at an outdoor wait in line place.
But you did.
At like 10.30.
We did.
Wow.
A very good burger.
But we also went to a place that was highly recommended, which was like a really cute noodle shop.
And, you know, if you've heard about the Manosphere, you know that male stand-ups like to go to a cute noodle shop.
Shut up.
Is that what?
The Manosphere does?
Walked in.
Nicest hostess.
She's like, oh, my God, I'm sorry.
Our kitchen just closed.
And Brooks did this.
And Andy, you have to tell me how you would have felt about this.
Brooks is like, oh, all right.
Yeah.
Um, hey, you recognize him, right?
Oh, my God.
And she's like, I do.
She goes, I do.
He goes, well, we just really want to eat.
We just finished a show.
We hear this place is super rad.
Oh, no.
And she was like, she goes, I totally would.
But really, like, they're done.
Yeah.
Like, they're cleaning up and going home.
And Brooks is like, OK, but, like, also, I said it, not him.
Like, you can't ever say he said it.
That makes it more OK.
It was the best.
She goes, and you could tell he hated it the whole time, right?
Like, so this story is not that he said it.
The fact that you're able to tell it here means it's great.
Yeah, I know.
I loved it.
I loved it.
Yeah, actually, respect.
I think that's a good one.
Yeah.
He owned that it was a risky move.
When you get off stage from one of these things, how much is, like, you know, after the show,
your adrenaline is going.
How much is that true when it's stand up and you're getting, like, used to doing it over
and over?
There's still some adrenaline.
But also, we had some people, like, a couple of friends of Forte and Sudeikis were backstage
who lived in KC.
The musician Kevin Morby was there.
Oh, I love that dude.
That dude's awesome.
So we were, like, backstage, talking with people that we don't get a chance to talk
to.
Super fun.
But I also had to wake up at, like, 4.15 in the morning to catch my flight back to
New York.
So I wasn't, like, I don't know.
to like hit the town or anything.
- What was the most mellow thing that Kevin Morby
said to you he in general was mellow the vibe was mellow yeah good mellow dude great new album um
can we run through a few things before we get to uh our next wait can i can i shout out a band
because i in when i was in chicago this band dead that i love was there and i i love their stuff all
their stuff yeah i think you already said that yeah i know but i'm just saying it again last
episode you said it was gonna happen and now you're saying i hung out with them they're great
and like it was all peppa wow what this guy loves peppa pig uh how did it go in chicago anything to
report from there you want no like the movie did super well it was really really fun to watch it
with an audience again uh here's some just some housekeeping uh the webbies the deadline to vote
for the webbies is uh april thursday uh the 16th uh and it would mean just the world to us to be
the people's choice again and we're defending our people's choice title oh shit yeah fucking
you
top turnbuckle here it comes top uh andy you you dropped a reference uh that was caught by a couple
of the quades to dayla souls ring ring ring is that oh did i what was the reference said no
problem you said no problemo just play your demo i'll help you with your demo ring ring ha ha hey
um andy don't take this the wrong way because a lot of people feel like it should be allowed
you keep saying quump bump and really a quump is a quade bump so when you say a quump bump
you're saying a quade bump
it's re it's requindent
oh dear i thought it and i said okay i can't go back in time i don't have one of those machines
just FYI i was the pep of pig snorting that's we've all been snorting except your arm and now
all of a sudden he's like i got this new thing give me a break it's my new thing so it's new
six hole breaks blazing saddles also had a we don't need no stinking badges joe oh of course
wait i saw a comment that said that three amigos had it is that true though i'm trying to remember
three amigos i couldn't verify but i did also see that as well i was trying to people will be shocked
to know we've seen all those yeah but i know it's so well and i think i do and then i can't remember
yeah no is it is it that el guapo says it but he changes the word is it like something we don't you
know what i mean yeah yeah yeah i don't think it's word for word but i think oh yeah it's something
that's on the plates it's like they're they're setting up for like a yeah thing for the rest of
the wedding or something i can remember the uhf the uhf badgers one is quite pure yeah um hey andy
somebody said that moshe kasher says stront in season two of brooklyn nine nine was that also
a copped from joanna that's wild because that's my show did you know that i'm on that you're like
the main guy i think that's what the quaid was also observing i would have to ask dan gore or
whoever wrote that episode and and have them remind me if it came from me or if it came from
i've uh joanna has said stront as long as i've known her but is it possible that it came from
moshe like was that a improvisation i think it's also possible that she's not the only one who's
ever said it i know it just because it was your show i think there was a thought of like yeah yeah
yeah have you been pushing stront out there did you guys know that moshe cash is from the bay
to the bay area oh we're from there you talk to him for five minutes you know exactly give him 30
seconds and he'll tell you or else or else he's not really from there
wait so in uhf it was badgers so we don't need us thinking badgers got it it's the guy with all
the animals the uh the name of uh jimmy mcnullen's mustache we had a couple people reach out because
we said that probably it was a name for it it's either the riverboat gambler or the mobius so
thank you for this both good um you know we were saying like how uh people have to say quaid army
to us and then we say righteous kill and sometimes people say righteous kill to us yes and we don't
back right yeah and somebody suggested gaping snorf is what you say if somebody inverts it and
leaves you flat-footed you're allowed to just say gaping snort but we're saying it or we're
calling them it i think you just that's the response to it because it kind of is correct
like like hey righteous kill and we go gaping snorf you go gaping snort you did it wrong
but that's our way and that's our code for them to know they've done okay i'm particularly excited
is that i'm going to see people in miami who will say it wrong then i'm going to say gaping snorf
without them having this context then they will listen to the pod and then retroactively retroact
be like oh i guess i was in on the thing it's gonna be brutal gaping snorf like hey shove them
too uh oh and then also people said that you know listening to uh griff banks again they noticed a
real parallel between griff banks and uh colin jost's pete hagseth on snl
up to and including somebody said i think he literally opened one by saying what's up queefs
yes correct so basically in this timeline pete hagseth is a big fan of like cut from dress
griff banks oh didn't i but didn't i write griff banks with jost yes definitely yeah so i think
he's like cribbing he's just repurposing it yeah even subconsciously it's part of his dna at this
point yeah also he like is playing the role now i'm like thanks for that i'm like i'm gonna do it
for nothing i should have been pete hagseth yeah it's it is very rude i'm sorry it's bullshit
andy that sucks like me saying that or that it sucks that that's happening no it just sucks for
you and i'm sorry thank you that that's happening to me but also shut up i'm in the manosphere
oh really good nice pivot thanks
uh let's see our british fans of the podcast called quids
somebody wrote in
can be if they want sometimes it's that simple i saw some funny snluk stuff on youtube from this
last week or previous weeks i don't know i can't remember what has happened when yeah everything is
a big soup i saw a commercial that was um for an app called dad swap where you swap out your dad
i don't think i've seen that one yet i think that must be from this this saturday well do you care
if i ruin what what the joke is no go for it it starts off and it's like yeah it's like a solid
thing like your dad you can never make him happy and you can never make him happy and you can never
make him happy you have different interests he always wants you to be different so now you can
use this app and swap out for a dad who shares all your interests but then very quickly they
all start hooking up with the new dad and it becomes all just about that and the creator
and the commercial is like that's not what i designed it for
it's it really got me i was like hey they're good good stuff that's great yeah that is really good
to hear yeah it was funny they did four in a row to start which is the craziest
thing in the world oh god i think they're they finally have a hiatus a well-earned hiatus
um and obviously if any of them are listening are you guys cool being called quids let us know
yeah hit us in the titties or how would you say that uh more across how would you say that hit us
in the right jesus yeah i think that's actually it there we go i think that's actually that's
our first bleep i think we got our first bleep of the pod we came in hot with the bleeps last
week talking about talk about alice dad yeah i mean by the way not his biological dad i think
i'll know that just by looking at him although there is a little bit of a similarity weirdly
similarly yeah they do kind of look so he did end up with a dad that could have been his real dad
yeah like by a lot depending on who the mom was for sure yeah um somebody pitched who's the elf
should be the title of the elf show that we're working on oh uh although i do still think it's
uh it should be called half it should be called half pronounced health
so like if the dad from elf had sex with like an aardvark like if the dad from elf impregnated an
aardvark
probably while sucking while smoking that'll be bleeped um of course then alf would have been
bored where would he be smoking though is there a location um i mean probably a
den on melmac good no wait sorry no alf is from another planet does none of this make
sense now i realize but let's just say there was no melmac wait can i ask a serious off question
yeah ask a serious off question you're saying that he's alf's dad but
adopted dad but did you you thought they like let i'll stay there as another sibling to their
children he's had like such an adult man voice seemed more like a like a roommate or a just a
freeloader right like a drifter kind of like does he have a bedroom it's a serious elf question yeah
i'll be honest i don't remember how alf ends up in the house well but you're saying there's a chance
that alf's dad had sex with a aardvark and then felt guilty i think we have home and then made up
this whole backstory about melmac is just a cover for the fact that right that it's really in the
show he crashes into their garage in the show that's a lot of old literature and stuff back
when they couldn't really say you know like a dad would go to war yes and he comes back from war and
is like hey by the way i'm coming home i'm bringing like a two-year-old they were gone for
eight years right and they're like and this two-year-old is i just adopted uh him because
his parents were killed in the war and then over years you realize like oh no that's his
that he had out of wedlock right so the same thing where you're like the reason that there's
an aardvark in the yard now yeah because that's your other mom i'm saying yeah alf's dad really
is his dad he was out on a bender for a long time yeah came back being like oh god i have this alf
now yeah but it was that on the bender he was smoking aardvarks sorry keith can i jump in
just to rewind just a hair you said that happened a lot in war during the war no i mean like fiction
you can think of like it's wuthering heights like a trope in wuthering heights they never can
kind of clarify
Like, why is this dude here?
Yeah, he brings home a kid,
and I don't think it's supposed to be his son,
because if so, it's incest with the two main guys.
But, you know, it's questionable, and he brings it home.
And then even in the latest Rian Johnson. Spoiler.
I haven't seen it yet.
Spoiler.
That I thought was excellent.
There's something happening with that.
Now we know it's excellent, Keev. Great.
And there was always, like, the reveal
that you'd find out that it was actually their real son,
because, like, one of their actual kids.
Okay, can I ask a serious follow-up question?
From what I hear about the new Wuthering Heights,
I'm surprised that no one fucks an aardvark in it,
because I've heard that that's pretty gay.
Well, no, but that was my question.
We don't know that they don't. I haven't seen it.
It could happen off-camera.
If you guys were going to have sex with an aardvark,
is that what you would do?
Like, to explain the whole thing.
Like, if you had an aardvark kid, half aardvark,
would you bring it back and then say you were in a war?
Was it wartime? Why was I away for long enough?
No, I wouldn't say it was a war.
I would say, based on how it looked,
I'd be like, hey, a spaceship crashed into our garage.
Oh, right.
Exactly.
That's a better backstory.
But could Alf, if the first A of Alf stood for aardvark,
aardvark life form, makes actual more sense.
Yeah.
Yeah, because it is like. I wonder if through this lens you could watch the whole series
and go, oh, it's the dad's life.
Yeah, that's sex with an aardvark.
Yeah.
That's his sarcastic aardvark son.
Also, in the rewatch,
you have to then also incept what we know
about the actor who played Alf.
Alf's dad into Alf's dad's character.
Right.
It makes sense why they let him stay there,
why nobody else ever finds out he's an alien,
because he's not.
If somebody. Look, I don't fully support doing this at all,
but if someone was really good with AI,
they could just insert one scene kind of early on in Alf
of the dad being like,
just tell them he's from another planet.
Look, I'm sorry, baby.
I'm sorry.
Look, I can't apologize enough.
No, just tell them you. Help Alf!
Tell them you had sex with an aardvark.
No, they'll never forgive you.
Go with the alien thing.
Ah, I'm so fucked up.
Ah, I'm such a fuck-up.
But there's a scene. All right, so there's a scene outside the house
and it's the first time he's bringing Alf in.
Alf keeps calling him dad.
Yeah.
And he's like, you can't call me dad.
Call me Willie.
Yeah.
I'm Willie.
Dad.
These aren't your brothers and sisters.
You're just a drifter, freeloader alien type
who wants to eat our cat.
Give me up the sarcasm.
All right, so we're halfway through.
We should probably jump into the app.
We should jump into the app.
Jorm, let's take it to Seth's corner.
Well, wait, speaking of. Seth's corner, this is. Oh, okay.
Wait, wait, wait.
It's coming off the rails, Keith.
Take it away, Seth.
Speaking of the British versions of the SNL,
one of the commenters on maybe YouTube or Instagram
led us to the Korean SNL version of I Broke My Arm,
which. Post that shit.
Oh, shit. It's pretty good.
Which, there's some changes to it,
but it's got, like, the exact same beat.
So whoever made that beat,
whether it was you, Jorm, or somebody else,
they made a new version of it.
Sounds almost identical.
But there's no way they got our instrumental,
or maybe they did.
I think that they have access to all that stuff.
Right, because they have the old scripts,
and it's like a famous actress on a red carpet
instead of in a cafeteria.
Yep.
And we can put the link in the show notes, as they say.
And it was pretty interesting.
I don't know.
And then she doesn't slip on grape jelly.
You were edited out, Andy.
She's slipping on a banana peel.
They have, you know, a different sensibility there.
No judgment.
And then a guy comes in at the end
who it seems like is maybe known there,
and I didn't know who it was.
I think, and then from the description
in the YouTube comments, so I don't know if it's true,
that guy has the same name in real life, maybe, as that woman.
Like, it's a known thing.
Like, there are two famous people there
that have the same name.
Oh.
So when he replaces her,
it's like a whole different level of meta joke.
Like, you know, like he could replace her
because they actually have the same name,
even though he's a man who's older.
But, yeah.
It's like if there were two famous Matt Damons,
and then the joke was, you know,
he fell so many times he needs a replacement,
and now it's the other Matt Damon.
Yeah.
Wait, her name was Matt Damon?
Yes.
Yeah.
Let's move on.
Okay.
So, Jon Hamm's hosting.
Seth, paint a picture for us.
Hamm's back.
We love him.
We know we got now.
And we also got Rihanna back,
and it's like, oh, it's all happening.
You guys have an album full of songs.
You refuse to put them on the show.
So. That continues.
But you do think you're like,
whoa, Shy Ronnie, that was a hit.
Can we do it again?
I want to say. Yes.
Her side asked.
Really?
Am I wrong?
I believe it was like,
what are we doing this time?
We're back.
Like, is it time for another Shy Ronnie?
That sort of thing.
Yeah.
And the first time, if you recall,
it was kind of her people's idea,
like, hey, we would love Rihanna
to be in one of your shorts.
But then it just. It kind of clearly from us
had come from just reps.
Yes.
And then this time, though,
it was also Rihanna being super nice
and being super down.
And how quickly did you come up
with Ronnie and Clyde as the idea?
I want to say I had the phrase
Ronnie and Clyde in my notes, Doc,
as soon as they booked her.
So, like, weeks in advance.
Yeah.
And then it was a classic, like,
how do we make it that, Keefe?
And then we just started talking about it
and Bank Heist made most sense.
Yeah.
It's a lot of fun.
Jorm, were you back this week
or are you still not there for this one?
I don't. Where were you?
No, and I'm trying to think of, like. Jorm missed weeks and weeks at this point
and we don't know what he was off making.
Or what he was doing.
No, because it's not MacGruber.
No.
So, I don't know.
It wouldn't have been, like, MacGruber Press.
There's no way I would have been
fucking let out for MacGruber Press.
What season is this for us?
This is 2010.
This is the actual Halloween episode.
I know there was something
where it said Happy Halloween
or something last week.
Of 2010.
Of 2010.
October 30th.
I'm looking at the rundown.
We got our rare, rare first sketch
after the monologue
with no commercial break.
Like, the commercial parody slot
where it's right after. Yes.
You know, we had a great show.
That's a big slot.
Rihanna's here.
So, stick around.
We'll be right back.
I feel like great. Today and this one
are the only ones, maybe?
Or am I forgetting some?
I don't know.
If you had asked me
if any did that,
I would have said no.
Like, I don't remember it happening.
That's so crazy
that it would just go right out
of the monologue into a short.
I would never have said no.
You do?
I knew. Oh, yeah.
You remember that that happened?
Yeah, and us always being like,
whoa!
Yeah.
I do want to say,
this is just from
the first act of the show,
Biden cold open,
Myers,
ham monologue,
Myers,
Mulaney,
digital shorts,
Sandberg,
Schaffer,
Tocconi.
So, this was. We really earned
our keep this week.
We did.
And a total fucking
sausage party.
By the way,
you're on the next two
after a commercial break.
Vincent Price Halloween,
which is a hater,
Mulaney, Myers.
And then,
Back to the Future
screen tests,
which is a Jost, Myers.
That was a good one.
I think I was in that
as Cage, right?
I don't know.
You're just owning
those first two acts.
There's a really fun sketch,
which you're probably
not going to get to,
but maybe next we'll get to,
that I remember
a part of Always,
which is
I think it's called
Audition,
where it's
Wig and Ham
talking about
what they will and won't do
if they get cast in a movie.
Oh, I remember that.
It's really good.
It's really good
Paula Pell,
Wig, and Sublime.
I was going to say,
it sounds like it was
a Paula, right?
Yeah.
I believe it's like
what you're willing to do
or what you're willing to show.
Yeah, like,
I won't do full frontal.
I will do da-da-da.
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure
Wig says she'll show
full butthole.
We should watch it.
We should watch it.
But let's do,
Ronnie,
and Clyde.
Okay, I'm loving it.
Ronnie and Clyde.
Dorn, we gotta figure out
where you are.
I don't know.
Like, was I around
for recording it at least?
I don't fucking know.
I also,
I do want to open
before we start watching.
I think I went on the record
for Shy Ronnie saying
it's the most striking
I feel a person
has ever been on camera.
Mm-hmm.
And I feel like
she tops it.
I have no comment.
It is something.
Yeah.
Again, pretty controversial
to say that
you think Rihanna's pretty.
Was it a little hard
for you to do
day drinking with her
because of that?
I mean,
was it hard for her?
Yeah, exactly.
This is reciprocal, right?
Seth, it's 1030
at night there.
You have sunk
into your couch.
You're holding the mic.
He's holding his mic
like a beer.
I've never seen him
handhold the mic.
I'm wearing giant,
like, cheaters
and a Frisbee sweater
and I'm like,
yeah, I think Rihanna's
pretty good looking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dog pajamas.
But I'm not bad myself.
Am I right, fellas?
I mean, you know,
I think we were both,
we both got it
a couple drinks in us
and let's just say
I think it was
pretty reciprocal.
Peace your eyes, boys.
It's me,
Seth Lee Meierston.
You know, usually
I can get into
any restaurant I want,
but they're closing.
I'll say,
have you been up then
since four in the morning?
Was that last night
or was it two nights ago?
No, it was last night.
I've been up since
four in the morning.
That's fucked up, Seth.
I don't know how you do it.
It's the same as it was
on the show.
I went to a wedding
last night that Josh
emceed and he did
a great job
and it was
some of the best
speeches and songs
I've ever heard
at a wedding.
It was really pretty great.
How late did you
stay out, Keith?
Maybe 1130.
It started at six.
Okay, moving on.
We've done the work.
We know the system.
We have the firepower
and we have each other.
You ready?
All right.
♪ Hey, hey ♪
We at it again.
Oh, my gosh.
He's got a little gun.
He's got a little dinky gun.
Can we talk about Andy's pants real quick?
So, what are you rocking there?
I think it's a skirt.
It's a skirt.
To what you were saying, Seth, I remember shooting this close-up,
and it happens on movie sets to me still sometimes.
Like, on Naked Gun, I'd be shooting scenes
and then occasionally going for a real close-up that only movies do.
Yeah.
Like, one that cuts off the top of your head.
Level close-up, like what we're looking at here.
And all of a sudden, I'd be like,
oh, I need to be in close on Liam Neeson's face all the time.
It's more compelling than most things,
and it's why he's a movie star.
Where you're just like, there's nothing more interesting
that elevates it up to feeling like it's a real movie.
But I remember shooting this shot and being like,
what the fuck?
It looks like almost computer-generated
for how perfect her face looks.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
She should do, like, a cosmetics line or something.
You know?
You know what I mean?
I think she could sell a lot.
To talk about this for a second,
just because it's movie-making,
and that's something I sort of got from you, Keev,
is that the eyeline should be
about three-quarters of the way up the frame.
And this frame that we're looking at is exactly that,
where her eyeline is about three-quarters up.
It's another one of those rules that's meant to be broken,
but when you do break it,
you should be doing it with real purpose.
I always like it, just composition-wise.
You should be doing it on purpose for effect,
like in The Curse.
Exactly.
Yeah, Sergio.
Yeah, or on purpose.
Also Jon Hamm.
Right!
Yeah.
It's also the symmetry of her face,
and then Andy, who's got a lovely face,
but you're kind of squirreling it up
to be its worst version.
Thanks.
Yeah, it's like he's wearing his readers
and hand-holding his mic,
leaning back on the couch, so to speak.
Looking like Edna from Incredibles.
Good pull.
Like whatever Dratch's old-school movie exec.
Abe Shadwell.
Let's make a picture!
Double Ds!
Double Ds!
All right, here we go.
All right, so you're wearing a skirt.
Because I'm Bonnie.
It's inverted.
I'm Bonnie.
She's Clyde.
Yeah.
Yeah, you've got the little beret.
It's pure white outside
because we couldn't get a backdrop.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't ruin the illusion.
Okay.
I just want people to know,
though, that some things aren't really choices.
They're fast solutions.
It was a very sunny day.
Fast solutions.
But by the way,
did you guys,
in burning all the other sets from last time,
which we talked about,
where you couldn't get to all the other sets,
did you guys then learn from the other one,
being like,
it can all be in one set, guys.
Definitely.
And we built and had them build the set.
And I remember them building a set
that was so teeny tiny
and only had one wall.
It looks very tiny.
So you wouldn't be able to shoot.
There was no coverage in it.
Like an SNL sketch
where it was just like one wall
and would fit like two people.
After I had had a whole long conversation,
like this is a big thing
and it's going to need this space
and they just gave us a shitty
and I got so mad at them.
I remember that.
Just for everybody listening,
but like if there's ever a problem with anything,
Keev's going to let you know about it
many days before.
Well, it's just that he was very clear about it up front.
Yeah.
Everybody now hands in the air
it's a stick up, stick up.
It's a funny business
Oh, you get lit up, lit up
You test tight
You're going to die
And at your funeral
Your mama going to cry
I just want to point out
we're 43 seconds in
and you've crossed the line
like three or four times.
It's a music video.
Yeah, okay.
She just looked at the camera.
It's kind of a movie though.
You know, a small movie.
She was looking down the lens.
Which part of the line is that?
Yeah, you did great.
With Purpose,
these are two movies
that are tools for you to use
and people have expectations
and when you break it,
it's so powerful.
Absolutely, Keev.
It's also, there's things,
there's color correction on it too.
It looks great.
Here, keep going.
Something Sergio could have used.
I like that you have a mic.
Yeah, I have a mic.
Yeah, that's great.
Because that's just part of it.
It doesn't work without you.
He brought one in his purse.
Yeah.
I want to shout out both.
Bobby and Vanessa have really good,
like, I'm scared,
but also I'm straining
to try to understand what this person is saying.
It's really small.
Like, I feel like these are important instructions
to the stick-up
and I'm really frustrated by my failure.
They're such good looks.
It's like Bobby's look in
Threw It On The Ground
is equally like,
oh yeah, this guy's really,
he's killing that reaction.
Also, by the way,
this shit bangs too, by the way.
This song is fucking,
I mean, she sounds good.
We should look up who did the beat.
I was going to say,
I feel like this time around,
it's like, because it's a sequel,
we have a long intro
and she's filling the space more.
The beat BM, I think, is slower also.
Yeah.
Like, it has a lot of shine to it,
but I do feel like it's like
a little less laughs per second
up until this point.
Right.
And yes, the answer is yes,
there is a demo of this somewhere
with me doing all of her singing yet again.
And how'd you think you did?
Better than the first time.
But like, all the little things in here,
we've thought of all of them.
Do you remember this when we were recording?
What do you mean by all the little things?
Like, every, like, thing that can be. All the little things.
It's the same as last time, though.
Like, it was, all of it was by design.
I love that we said you test I.
Mm-hmm.
It was T-minus.
Ah.
T-minus.
T-minus.
T-minus made this beat.
Yep.
I still have that dude's number.
T-minus with the heaters.
Yeah, it's really good.
Oh, you know what I was thinking
when I was playing, though,
is we really,
rarely do the SNL sequel sketch
that is the, as we call it,
the Mad Libs version of the first one,
where you're like,
yeah, well, here were the beats
of the first one.
Let's just erase the jokes,
kind of come up with a new overall theme,
and then do jokes that are new ones.
And this is one of the rare times
where we did it.
And I don't, I don't feel bad about it
or anything, but it is like
the normal SNL sequel,
The Dick in a Box,
would be something else in a box.
Right.
Right, yeah, yeah.
Correct.
Or here's a new present for Christmas
or now it's Valentine's Day.
Here's a new present.
Well, Shy Ronnie became a sketch
when it became one set
on the first one.
Right.
It is interesting, though,
because you could easily have figured out
something else for them to do
with a shy guy and her,
but we decided to do
a traditional SNL sequel.
I mean, it's a little bit more
of a story now, kind of.
Well, yeah, let's watch it
all the way through
and see what kind of diversions happen.
But can I just say,
before we move forward, though,
T-Minus is a big Canadian producer.
He did a lot of massive hits
for DraftKings.
After this, I bet, but yes.
I don't think so.
Probably on the power of this,
if I'm guessing.
Yeah, sure.
Okay, go ahead.
Good.
Brown is a sticker, sticker
Your wallets and jewels
We'll pick a sticker
Unload the cash
Move your ass
We gettin' money
Tell them Shy Ronnie
Please, please use your words
Just a minute, just a minute
Imagine that everyone's naked
Uh-oh
Boner alert
You really picture them naked
What a good Bobby look
Why did I think you could do this?
When he had to jump the move
He shot himself
And why is his gun so small?
The police come on their way
Come out with your hands up
Good luck, Shy Ronnie
Bye-bye
I think we complimented her
on the same thing last time,
but she learned this song, you know,
hours before we're doing it
and is hitting all the words.
And we have worked with so many pop stars
that theoretically could have had the song
for three months
because we recorded, you know, a while ago
and they know we're going to shoot the music video.
Not naming no names.
And they still don't know any of the words
by the time we show up on set.
And it's really hard
even just having done it an hour before
whatever this was, which was right away.
But she's just on it.
And she never overplays
like the way she's just very low-key exhausted with you.
Yes.
She never overdoes it.
You do realize it's like
I feel like how she would be in real life
if she was frustrated in some way.
Oh my God, Seth, we get it.
You think she's hot.
And I think, like I said,
I don't think it's one-way traffic.
I was just more focused on the eye lines
and awareness.
Where the eyes are centered in the frame.
Right.
And I was noticing that the boner
and the boner alert moment looked like a stick.
It's a lot like a big, like a stick had been put in.
I also feel like that is a joke
on something that's been around forever.
And I had never seen it before,
which is picture everybody naked if you're nervous
and then just immediately getting a huge boner.
But then it immediately goes away.
Yeah.
But it is a funny, like, oh, I didn't think that.
Of course, that would be the downside.
Steve, can we roll back
and just look at that boner shot real quick?
I think we should guess inches for Shirani,
which I didn't do.
do think is interesting that is actually that's a good point you wouldn't think shirani would be
quite so well endowed but he but yeah oh no he's he's packing i know yeah he's got plenty but are
you seeing what i'm seeing though on the most paused moment yeah i can just go right for it
i know exactly where it's coming because people want to see this again and again boner alert did
become a like a tiktok meme where people did different oh really you know clips and then it
would go boner alert and it'd be like about like you know like uh when your husband does all the
dishes and you didn't have to ask and then you're like i don't know why would that be appealing
and why is your gun so small um that freeze frame is so brutal
it's like his it's like his pencil-ish dick is like a foot long
the look on my face i look like a demon it's like a
fucking head of a demon
ship it is like it is why you're so great you're so great at comedy andy here you are with somebody
and you're just complete absence of vanity this two shot is just purely delightful to me
the worst instinct in comedy is like i then i'll also be cool right yeah no this is how i feel when
i hang out with rihanna yeah oh my god well that's because unlike me and her there's a gap right
exactly whereas you are her equal in every way looks especially do we give a shiny ronnie freckles
like
at all no he doesn't have freckles right no no just like a big ass boner
like maybe a foot and a half yeah well he's excited all right let's jam it
just noticing
come out with your hands also the shoes suck they're like white velcro shoes and it's funny
what we chose to keep shy ronnie and what what's what's canon shy ronnie can't be changed no matter
what yeah sweater shoes socks yeah so he's got the athletic socks the the white like nurse shoes
yeah and the same it's the same sweater right yeah it's like faye dunaway and bonnie and clyde
like 30 percent yes but then it's her scarf hat and skirt so it's just a perfect 50 50
i think actually yeah while we're on the subject wigs makeup wardrobe all super on point for the
like the time period yeah yes killed it yeah looks great on camera the seam coming in with the bags
and also all the background like the casting they're all actually being excellent don't say
anything seth don't say anything mean about don't bring up the woman from booger man
you piece of shit keeps mom's friend she's already she's she's suffered enough
ha ha
so i shot my own legs don't get the name twisted because i'm crazy
i hung a giant ass noose off my giant ass
i forgot this money and also this guy
come on we're gonna have sex
god they cut it up so fast to it like let us hear the applause
for a second before you go to the sax for lenny just ripping at you can't stop lenny can't stop
lenny thirsty ass youtube algorithm all right there was a lot of great stuff in this last
number one the seamless inclusion of john ham who obviously was not there the entire time we were
shooting and we just were like if you're down there no one's gonna notice and it feels seamless
her grabbing him saying we're gonna have sex
ham is also doing that perfect fucking ham smile that he does on the way it is that really good
ham look where he's like crazy handsome and then he gives a real goofy look oh my god
works for me uh and then
your rap immediately kind of talks about the important things that you have a giant dick
yep you hung a noose from it and then pause pause pause for the whole song to stop and you can hang
from it and just continue he was interrupted yeah but he didn't miss he's picking up right where he
left off it's good and then ending with a perfect backflip that actually is like very well executed
in every way i would say like yeah my favorite part was like right at the very end when i went
oh when lenny pickett kicked in yeah
it's like oof can't stop the picket i like that it that they're walking out on the white psych and
it still kind of feels okay yeah it's not somehow it's not breaking yeah well it's like that always
looks kind of cool yeah blown out i kind of feel like we're like needing maybe some questions about
this one because we're not remembering a lot you know what i mean yeah well like what do you mean
like questions like hit us in the tit is kind of a sitch you know like next time we'll do some
follow-ups because well i have i mean let me just ask this like were you guys when it was over were
you like hey
because uh second time you did a sequel right yeah because you've already done mother lover
laser feel like oh yeah laser cats but did you feel like hey we did a good job definitely i
remember being like yeah it was fun it was fun it played yeah they're the the shame we talk about
when we let down one of our heroes like a surf meeting or um the testicle song with hanks or
whatever where we kind of feel like we didn't rise to the challenge that we wanted to you get
the inverse one when you feel like you did deliver like we were so proud about the
first shirani that we were like we did a good one with rihanna that is so cool and to have her come
back and be way more just familiar with us is like a reward as well to just be like yeah we made a hit
together and let's try again yeah so there's a a pride just even in doing it and then we were glad
that it worked again and i think i said this after the first shirani but every time i've seen her
outside of the show she calls me shirani oh my god like just for that worth it her like main
lady that i'm blanking the name did contact us a few years after this saying is there a promo video
for a bitch better have my money was her new single it had come out maybe three weeks ago
and it was already like you know it's a new rihanna single so it's big and they're like
she's gonna be in la is there like a fun alternate universe music video that's just like silly that
you guys would want to make with her and we got kind of excited about a shirani one take with
rihanna bitch better have my money and i even shot a demo version of it and that was during
pop star right yeah it was like right somewhere right near the beginning during prep of pop star
yeah and we jammed out and then like schedules changed and you know just these things always
come and go really fast and so we didn't end up ever making it just just even the prospect of that
is so crazy i think i remember that and then the video for it came out we were like that's way
better but this was always going to be like an alternate silly version no it was gonna be like
a promo oh i see
it was like the little amuse bouche it was like it was gonna be cool like the idea was we were
putting gopros in a car before people did that all the time and it was gonna be getting rihanna
to drive you around like you were basically she was your pen like she was my pen yeah and it was
like bitch better have my money and it was like she's singing this song while she's like making
shirani get out of the car i remember now clearly he's doing bad things and then getting back in the
car and we had worked it out if like we drove around the one block where she could actually
drop you off continue driving
and then get you back in without any cuts and it was in the valley somewhere right like yeah we
really had worked it out it would have been god damn it oh that would have been i uh i hosted uh
rihanna's diamond ball a couple of times in new york city this sounds like a joke but it's not
wow and the first time i did it i because again it's an incredible charity and i was like it's
just a good nice reminder to know that when she says bitch better have my money she's gonna then
use that money for philanthropic means this isn't somebody just trying to like get rich
for all the right reasons can you use that money for good do we wish she didn't say bitch
sure yeah but it's important get more bees with honey that might be a lesson to be learned
um it's really fun we should get a voice note from ham maybe for next week ham if you're listening
give us a voice note tell us what your memories were i bet he was so nervous to do this so nervous
we yeah what we dropped the ball not telling him we were about to do this and getting that quick
voice but you know who really dropped the ball everybody didn't tell me not to spend my last
hour putting together questions and i'm like oh my god i'm so nervous i'm so nervous i'm so nervous
about we like sports have them in your back pocket don't lose don't lose that that's cool
don't lose that note i got up i got up 4 15 in kansas city i had to go return a hertz had to

and the cameras are going back and forth yeah yeah every single moment is perfect yeah and even the
way sudeikis is choosing to play it so like light and jovial in the top half like just that kind of
smile of like being entertained by her but not outside of the sketch being entertained with her
within it as like hey i see auditions all day and this is a kooky one i'll i'll entertain it for a
little like this is very good at playing that real the really good cut is when sudeikis like varies
his pace on that line you guys gotta go and they catch that just right also as we've established i
don't like sketches that end with somebody jumping on a window and that is uh it is really worth going
to watch because sudeikis opens the window and you think he's going to jump out and he jumps out and
it's just on street level yeah he just walks away it's a really nice version and wig obviously is
like pitch perfect on every single second as well and then ham also ham's great that's what i mean
of them operating at such a pro level it's very nice to see so funny the whole time and then it
really hits its apex at when he has her do the line from the commercial yeah
that was you it's also that thing of like they're filthy the things they're willing to do but they
also really work to not say dirty words like when he's like drags his rear across the carpet
