Talkin’ Ads/Turtleneck & Chain Part 1

The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast Show. Hey everybody, welcome to the Seth Meyers and Lonely Island Podcast. And man oh man, we're coming in hot today. Andy, I just want to say something. First of all, your arm's not here. Yeah. Andy? Yeah. The last episode, you, unbeknownst to the rest of us, host recorded a Queen Bee update. That's right. What? So I didn't listen to the final one. There's an Andy interruption? Yeah, Andy jumps in, interrupts my- When did it come in? Just in the middle of the- Like in the middle of my wrap up. And then it ends with him saying, suck it, Seth. Yeah. And then it comes back to me saying, hey bud, Andy, I hope you feel better. It's like a real- That's right. It really makes you seem like a piece of shit. I feel like fine. If you want to call me a piece of shit for that, fine. But in my world, there's two different realities. Okay. One is real life where you value, you love your friends and your loved ones and you care for them and you take the time to express that. And then the highly competitive world of spelling bee. Oh, I see. Where you take no prisoners, you slit throats, and you fucking go for broke. Well, don't let us forget to close this one, you know, with asking. Wait. Andy, do you know what story is in the news that like multiple people have reached out to me on social media being like, oh my God, I hope Andy's going to be on the show? No, what? Have you heard about Crotch Gate? No, what's Crotch Gate? Ski jumping has been pushed into the spotlight after a whistleblower uncovered a cheating scandal that involves, of all things, crotch manipulation. So it turns out, I guess there's something about the suits. All right, here we go. The Norwegians. It's, of course, the Norwegians. Fucking Norwegians. They found rules violations that initially went unnoticed during the competition. Stiffer non-elastic thread had been sewn into the suits to pull down the crotch area during flight, increasing the surface area, and creating more aerodynamic lift in a sport where inches can be the difference between meddling and missing the podium. So they're tucking. It seems like they're tucking. Yeah. But it does seem like, I mean, I think like we've established on our show that when there's sort of a Wang-related Olympic news, you're kind of our go-to source. Kind of. I'm shocked that's not legal. You wear a suit to be more aerodynamic, and why wouldn't it be reinforced to push things down and make it slicker in that area for the air to go by? Why not? They're regulating the kind of thread that your suit can use? It's a lot of stuff. It seems like a lot of the Scandinavian countries are behind all of this. Vermeulen, this is a previous scandal, later described ski jumpers putting modeling clay in their underwear to lower their crotch-to-floor measurement by five centimeters. Again, I can't even picture what that looks like. I need pics, right? Definitely. Or it didn't happen. Anyway. Seth, you look ridiculous. Will you smile? For the camera, and I'll take a picture that we can share. And got it. Thank you so much. Yeah. I do look ridiculous. I was saying that I think I messed up my headphones a little bit, so when I wear the hat over the headphones, it keeps it in place better. Ah. I don't want to hear everything you guys are telling me. He's wearing a beanie on top of headphones, big headphones, over-ear headphones. And in a pinch, for Halloween, you can go as Parappa the Rapper. Did he have a loose beanie, or did he have a backwards baseball hat? I can't remember. I think you might be right. I can't remember. I have an incredible bit of information for you guys. Courtesy of a writer on my show named Matt Goldich. Okay. Listening to the discussion of 56th and Lenox, one thing that immediately registered with me as a Harlem resident is that Lenox Avenue is one of the main streets up here, and that local residents often drop the one off the names of numbered streets. For instance, 118th Street would be known colloquially as 18th, but since 156th Street and Lenox Boulevard don't intersect, I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt that it was a Brooklyn reference, however, knowing that it came from Alicia Keys, and that she spent most of her childhood in Harlem, I am fairly confident that the 39th and Lenox in the song is what refers to 139th Street. 139th and Lenox. That makes more sense. Where there was once a famous soul food restaurant. This is the shit I like. Yes. And then somebody else wrote in, Alicia Keys is referencing the Pan Pan Restaurant, a now-closed legendary soul food diner that was on the corner of 135th and Lenox, a.k.a. Malcolm X Boulevard. But is it where they shot the video? Great question. Yeah. I'm sure there's an answer. Just an update on Paul Rappa the Rappa. He looks exactly like Seth, if you check the chat right now. Not only is he wearing it over his black ears that look like your headphones, but it's orange with a little square. It's the same. Side-by-side it. Let's side-by-side it on our IG stories. Hit us in the titties. You be the judge. Oh, the last thing I'll say is Matt Goldich said, I know I don't. I don't seem like the kind of guy who'd be an expert in Harlem geography, but I've attached a photo of myself for reference. And the photo was a picture of Brian Tucker, which made me laugh. I like that sometimes people who watch this, watch your shorts when they were kids, are now in like, you know, the workforce. Right. And some of them are in finance. Oh, I'm sorry. Real quick. I should have something genuine to say real quick to Andy. Okay. And Akiva worked on it too. I liked your commercial, but Dad showed it to me. Oh, thank you very much. Thank you very much. All right. Thanks, guys. You know, Lauren often said a good Super Bowl commercial is worth as much as a movie. Did he say that? Mm-hmm. When we used to work there, he would talk about how it can be a bigger deal than a movie. But I think that was back when there weren't 100 of them and they weren't on the internet. Like two weeks before they aired? Yeah. So that it felt like an event when it happened. Right. Interesting. And now my hat's off. I look like a dork. I actually was just thinking you look like a dork, yeah. Um, hey, Andy, I do want to reference some shade that was thrown your way by a listener. Oh, man, not again. Said, uh, man, uh, Sandberg won't even deign to read a podcast ad, but when Hellman's comes calling. Yeah. Well. That's because he loves mayo so much. You get paid in mayo. That's the difference. I mean, if the podcast ads want to play Big Bank take Little Bank with Hellman's. If Fiore wants to throw in some mayonnaise on the side. It's a great commercial. Did you? Did you direct it, Keith? No, no, no. Okay. I barely worked on it. I just, I just helped Andy record the song a little bit. Along with, uh, Mike Diva's brother, David. Yeah, Dave Dahlquist. It was directed by a director named Tom Kuntz, who's awesome and has done a lot of really rad commercials and, uh, music videos and stuff. It's awesome. I kept Andy company on set for the first half of the day. He did keep me company at Cantor's. Ate a couple snacks. It's very, very funny to me that all these years after I first met you, you're still doing, like, sandwich-based comedy. And it felt like Kismet when the offer came in because I do love a sandwich. You love a sandwich? You love sandwiches as, like, a comedy construct? It makes me smile. The premise and sound of the word sandwich, all of it is just like, yeah, sandwiches, they're fun. And, you know, we all had our fluffernutter phase when we were kids, obviously. Of course. Obvs. Somebody just wrote in, and again, I like any time there's a collection of words that have never been uttered before, you know, as we live in this AI future where the computers can come up with anything, I bet they'd never come up with too burrito-brained to Bone Patrol. That was somebody's standalone. That's the way we beat the machines. Speaking of that, what was, do you know what the Winter Soldier activation word in this week's Spelling Bee, Andy? Turns up a lot. In this week's or today's? Yeah, this week there was a word where, even when I punched it in, I'm like, oh, we're getting Winter Soldier. Oh, no, I'm blanking. Mondo. Oh, Mondo. Mondo butts. Damn it, they're after us. Somebody said this about Great Day. This sketch came out when I was in college and was having the occasional cocaine weekend. And I would definitely put this on while cutting lines, memories. And I'm like, oh. Don't do drugs, but I love that. It is like somebody completely missing the point of the. It's also like the tempo changes and crazy singing. It's not like a good time. It's not like a party anthem, like musically. No. It's like, you know, watching Mad Men, you want a drink even though you see it tearing their lives apart. It's true. It's true. Saying it's like a pro-cocaine song is a little bit like Ronald Reagan using Porn in the USA. I'm with you on that. By the way, the one that me and Keeve like drinking to the most, you guessed it, Mank. The Mank? The movie Mank? He's like drinking himself to death. Me and Keeve were texting each other watching Mank being like. Being like, I ought to pour myself a big whiskey on this one. Something about this Mank. It's really making me want to have a couple sippies. I mean, it is the truest thing in the world. I mean, I will say leaving Las Vegas doesn't want to make me have a drink. No. But I agree. Like Mank, where somebody is still being charming and everybody's like, you're drinking yourself to death, Mank. You're like, he's fine. Watching somebody with like a shopping cart at a Ralph's put a handle of the cheapest vodka in, it doesn't like, it doesn't ring the same as watching like Deadwood and having them go into the bar and pour whiskeys. Yeah. Brown liquor over ice. I'm just like, yeah, no, they're fine. Yeah. Deadwood also came up because, you know, we have, we've had Oliphant on the pod. We've talked about, obviously, Ian McShane and Hot Rod. And someone was saying they're watching, they're re-watching Deadwood. And it's very funny to see it through the lens of the Lonely Island. Of us watching it and loving it? Well, we all loved it. No, of just knowing that that's Rod Kimball's dad. Oh, I see. Yeah. Everybody, I mean, that was a big show for us, I think, genuinely. As like, also that show is super funny. - So funny. - The funny part. - I mean, the writing. That's so good. Yeah. I saw Yoram's movie. It's very good and very fun, and he's good in it. Mr. Oliphant. Oh, I was saying some people going to a different, before my children interrupted. Here's how you know people have grown up, and some of them have gone from Lonely Island fans into finance. Someone said about Great Day, I probably watch this digital short once every fiscal quarter. That sounds responsible. It does sound responsible. Crossplay thoughts. Andy, have you done crossplay with anybody? It's a New York Times game. No, I'm not taking the bait on that. I see it. I always see it on there, but is it not just Scrabble, Words with Friends, From Afar type thing? I clicked on it once to see what it was, because I'm always curious, and then it took me to a website to sign in for stuff, and I was like, bye. Yeah. I got enough on my plate. Hey, I forgot to go and look at this, but a couple of people asked, I should say, why was a certain person on your fridge in Great Day? Do you remember? There's one. There's a football player in your fridge. Is there? Yeah. Like a newspaper clipping or something? It's a photo of, a bunch of people said it was Ryan Leaf, the first round bust of San Diego Chargers. Yeah. I have no memory of that, and I'm sure it was set folks did it, or properties. It is kind of an interesting little detail about Dennis, that he's also holding out hope that Ryan Leaf, yeah, it's Ryan Leaf. Unbelievable. I'm just looking at it now. He's just a big Leaf head. But what kind of, what context? Yeah. What context is the photo on the fridge? Like, like it was a newspaper clipping that someone hung up? It's like an action photo. It like, just kind of looks like, like he cut it out of Sports Illustrated. I was like, dude, this is cool. All right. Yeah, it was him. We decided, are we doing a listener episode, or do you guys want to talk about that summer? So yeah, on the text thread today, when we realized Jorm couldn't make it, it's, so it's the summer. So we forgot last week, we should have said Great Day was the season finale. Yeah. Of that season. I think we knew because you were doing your sort of ode to May. Yes. Well, sure. I can smell the, the, the lotus blossoms on Cherry Lane. And we had talked about that the writers party was that week, which if people have paid attention, the writers party is always on the Thursday of the last show. Do they still do that tradition right now? Yeah, I think they do. Jost would keep it alive. Yeah. It is crazy to like, just put that out there because now everyone knows if you want to rob the writers offices, it's the last Thursday of the last show. They leave the interns there as security. And the writers party used to be in the writers room. And then there was. There was an incident my first year where it got so trashed that they had to offsite it. Oh yeah. I had heard only rumor of that. Anyway, so we were texting earlier and when we realized that Yorm couldn't make it, but we still wanted to do one today because the three of us could, but it is, so it's the summer where MacGruber comes out, where we go back to the house in Encino where we did Incredibad to start on what would become Turtleneck and Chain and we should cover all that stuff. And it's very, it's, Yorm's very involved. He's involved with all of it, but you know, it feels like another Q and A is not quite right. So why don't we. I have some questions about that summer then, because a part of it I was not present for. So first question is what were the commercials you guys were talking about? Was that that summer that you were sending those out for? Yeah. The ones that I put in the text chain today. Yeah. So the first one we did was that Klondike ice cream bar asked us if we would make some web shorts for them and me and Yorm more so we're like, yeah, I think we can squeeze those into the corner. We're like, yeah, I think we can squeeze those into the corners of the summer and just figure out some little clips. But the real thing that's sealed the deal was that they said they'd give us a lifetime supply of Klondike bars of every variety. That's right. We were like, lifetime? That's a big deal. And by the way, they're in breach of contract for decades right now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Haven't seen a Klondike in a long time. Wait, when did it, when did the, did they actively turn the tap off? I feel like there was at one point where it was like, we tried to get them. And there was like, none of the contacts even still worked through our management. Yeah. But we, I think, kept asking for them way more than they ever thought somebody would. Do you remember the fridge? Well, this is what I was, what I was going to say. We stayed in this like crazy McMansion in the Valley in LA. Same one. And it had a second fridge in the kitchen, which we filled with only Klondike bars. It was the Klondike freezer for the whole summer. Did you ever, did you ever need to re-up your Klondikes from the first filling? Yeah. Well, do you remember Seth? I mean, I think you would have said it if you did, but the 17th floor had Klondikes for the next couple of years, the fridge by the, where the interns all sat was full of Klondikes. But it was funny. Like anyone who came to visit us at that house that summer, we'd be like, Hey, can I get you a drink? Klondike. It was like in a Dre and Snoop video when they opened the fridge and it's all forties and like the, and the dry ice kind of pouring. Yeah. The ice kind of pours out over the forties and it's like, damn, this is crazy. But it's all- But the whole fridge was a freezer? No, it's just a huge, one of those huge sub-zero fridges where the freezer is sizable and was just Klondikes. Very well organized. So it felt really just flexing, like grab as many as you like. And did you, I would assume you also got some money. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't just do it. Generally, you know, they didn't throw in any mayo, so I'm shocked we did it at all, but- There was a cash. Cash component. The Klond, brother. Yeah. Were you mad when you realized that you weren't getting any more Klondikes or did you kind of always assume that it was not? We had done it for enough years that like even our manager was like, really, you're going to ask them again? We're like, they said Lifetime. I remember being both, Seth, is the truth. Like we were definitely a little burnt on Klondike bars, but also we were like, they said Lifetime. Yeah. Even if we had just given them all away, we've, there's, they should have said five years. The fact that they said Lifetime is so crazy. One of my favorite, so I don't remember a lot of jokes from improv scenes over the course of my life, but I remember Ian Roberts once doing a scene with Matt Walsh at UCB where Ian's character was not comfortable agreeing that they could use his likeness in perpetuity. And he goes just, and it's, but that was in the contract, he's like, just say, just say a million years. And they were like, well, that's what, they go, you'll be dead, so like, you just say, be in. He's like, I'm not comfortable that it's in perpetuity. But he was okay with a million years. He goes, put, he goes, put a, put two million years, but like that's, I feel like Klondike people had a chance exactly to say five, but don't say Lifetime. I mean, technically we could dig up that contract right now and go to Klondike and say, hey, like let's get a shipment over and they contractually have to give it to us. Would be an awesome. I actually am curious if that's true. We should, we should look that up for next week. We will definitely be able to find that. I think that contract, cause we have the same lawyers we've had this whole time, it should be in a file somewhere. If it's legit, Keev. Yeah. I mean, it'd be nice to have some Klondikes at the office, you know, offer to our guests. Also, the amount we've already talked about it is worth whatever that shipment. Yeah. No, they're like. They've already, they've already earned. We've already earned that shipment 10 times over. But is it like a small shipment or is it a shipment with one of every flavor? You know what I mean? One must. Yeah, I do. One must wonder. If your lawyers listen to this pod, I don't know if they do or not, right now they're like, fuck. That's true. Oh, this is coming up. Again. Fuck. Here goes the weekend. Go to the Klondike files. Okay. That was one ad. That was one of ads. The other one that I sent you that I think we should watch some of these together because I did not hit play on any. I just went and sourced them was it's just, again, Yoram was very, the Klondike is like 75% Yoram's, Yoram ad. I mean, it's all like sloths vibes. Or I'd say creatively it's all him and then it's me helping him. Yeah. And then the rock vodka is all of us. And that was. That was Diageo, which is like the largest liquor company in the world that owns half of everything from Johnny Walker to, I don't know, Kettle One or whatever. And they came to us and this was at the height of like the beginning of celebrities endorsing liquor brands. It's not like now where everybody has one. But they came to us, Diageo, this huge liquor brand, being like, hey, would you guys want, we have this new vodka we're going to launch that's like at the level of like Sky Vodka. It's like a Swedish vodka like that and would you guys want to be the like creative directors of the brand? And now I feel like nobody thinks about that type of thing as selling out or being whack. But it was still long enough ago that we had our, you know, we're not technically Gen X, but the Gen X ethos of like, you don't do that shit. But we were right on the edge of it and we could tell that there was something so funny that we would have our own liquor when we're making also fake pop albums slash rap albums. So at first we immediately bristle like, no, no, no, we're not doing stuff like that. And then we were like, whoa. This might be a real opportunity to kind of combine the fake characters of these guys that we are when we're doing our albums. Because we were working, if we weren't working on the album, we wouldn't have done it, but we were just starting on the album and we were like, oh, this could make a lot of sense. So we ended up doing some very polished ads and we were able to even use some of the money from the shoot where we're like, they had Lamborghinis and stuff in front of a mansion to also be like, we like, we're straight up with them. We weren't sneaking. We were like, hey, since we're going to have a camera crew and all this cool stuff, can we also just shoot some, like a few takes for a music video? And they were like, no, we love it. It's a partnership. Do it. Like they were really, they were nicely great about it. And it's in the We're Back video, right? That we'll play because it's the first song. So that's why. So when you watch this rock ad that we can watch, but then you watch the We're Back video, which was a video we made knowing it wouldn't be on SNL. It's the first song on Turtleneck and Chain. But we just wanted to make it as kind of an announcement video on our YouTube of like, yo. This is our album. There are shots in the We're Back video that are clearly at the same place as the rock thing. And there were cases of rock vodka at SNL for the next two years as well. And if you remember, the interns and people like the assistants, we'd give them bottles all the time. So, like, Rachel Lynn, she should send us a voice note. Should we text her right now for a voice note about rock vodka? How did you spell rock vodka? R-O-K-K. And is it a round spell? Because it's Swedish. It's like Viking stuff. No, it is no longer a round spell. I remember how it's spelled, Seth, because Keeve was always like, seems like it's missing a K, but okay. Oh, I see. Yeah. By the way, not to sideline it, but you guys know James Acaster? I love James Acaster. Yeah. James Acaster was just on my show, and it was one of the most bad shit and wonderful 15 minutes of my life because he constantly does what you just did to Keeve about me. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he makes me a bad guy. I got to watch it. I've never met him, but I'm a big fan. He's the best, and he made me laugh harder than anyone's ever made me laugh before because I did a live Taskmaster with John Oliver in New York City. Brag. And James had been on the whole, he'd done an actual season. They asked you to do it. Yeah. Here in the States. I couldn't do it. I didn't want to do it. I didn't want to. But, no, you did great, by the way. You didn't see it. No, I heard all about it. I did go and see it. I was in the audience. I watched it. And, like, they went. I did. I saw it. It was really hardcore. The tasks that they do on the live one are way hardcore. Like, make a dog s**t. Oh, God. And it was so. I can't believe you can say that on TV. Shocking. I mean, you can't. We beeped it. We should probably beep it here. It's fucking jarring. So, Rock Vodka. Can we watch a Rock Vodka? Can we watch a Klondike ad, too? Yeah. I found them all online. And I have not re-watched them. So, I have not really seen these since we made them. But let's look at the Rock one first because it has, you know, real production value and stuff. I had a wonderful dream of a place where luxury, status, desire. A Viking and vodka transcend space and time to a moment soon forgotten. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This is my incredible dream. What's yours? Rock Vodka. It's not a dream. Sure. I do. I want to explain real quick because not everybody's going to go and watch this ad. But it does. It feels like a normal Vodka ad. Black and white. Like sexy shots of Jorm and Keev. Not like winking too much yet. Like handsome and cool. Yeah, like a cologne ad. Honestly, like a Calvin Klein cologne ad. Then you're kind of Fabio, Andy, lying in the surf while water actually washes over you. Wearing jeans. Yeah. Then we see an actual Viking. He's eating a big old turkey leg. Then it's the three of you in a hot tub kind of sexily with like flowy white shirts on jumping around in a hot tub. And then the music cuts out and it cuts to a wide and the Viking we saw earlier is just spraying you guys with a hose in a hot tub. Yeah. He's just up on a ladder. It's beautifully shot. And then there's just like a smoke show Swedish lady who at no point winks to the fact that this is crazy. She's kind of narrating it. Super fun. I love, I love, I love the people who worked for the ad agency who were okay with this. And it was 100% the wrong call. We weren't the only things. They also sponsored a bunch of nice like GLAAD type events in New York City. Well, they're obviously like-- Nice save, Keith. Nice save. It was true. You can find the billboards online still. I know. It was good. And I don't even know if it was an ad agency. I think it was just Diageo cut us a check and then we just went off and made the ad. Diageo sounds like a guy, the name of a guy who would okay this. Mr. Diageo came by and he's like, "This is fabulous, boys." They tell Diageo I'm throwing my money away. That's not how Diageo thinks. Does Rock Vodka still exist? This whole episode of the pod is just plugging products, I think. I thought it was gone for sure. Do you think they just told us that? Like, "Don't worry, guys. We're shutting down the whole vodka." Here's what I've got. Rock Vodka appears to have been discontinued or phased out shortly after its release. Yeah. Yeah, it did not last. Does it say it's specifically because of the marketing stuff? It doesn't say. It turned out sarcastic marketing did not work. Turns out most people hate sarcasm. Oh, my God. Especially people who are looking for like a new vodka. Yeah, like making it fake sexy where you're like uncomfortable with the sexiness. It's not what people like. Well, and then the end of, I guess, the Rock story is that it worked out so well. Because number one, we got to shoot part of another video. And number two is when the album started coming out, they loved that we were doing all this cross-promotion. And they bought us tons of billboards all around New York City. Yeah, it was amazing. And they were like, "What do you guys think the billboard should be?" And LA, by the way. Yeah, they must have just had unlimited money. So we were just like, "Well, we have the cover of our albums, really." "So why don't we combine it?" So all of a sudden, we had billboards. We had the top of taxi cabs everywhere. I'll find some of these photos and we can put them in. This is, you know, we're jumping forward to when the album was coming out. You know, so it's actually in the future from this pod. But it was amazing. It's a turtleneck and chain, like album, date, and then just had a giant bottle of rock vodka. That honestly kind of just seemed like a joke. Like part of the joke of what if we were legitimate, we would have this vodka. It didn't happen. It didn't have any negative part to it. It was a massive promo push for the album. It was awesome. It was really great. It did feel like in that exciting way for fans of yours that you guys were getting away with something. Yes, agreed. I would never speak on their behalf. But we weren't tricking them. They were just down. It was so nice. Yeah, no, they sound awesome. Can we watch a Klondike? Yeah. Now, I believe there was three and this is where Jorm will come in next week. And I think one maybe never came out, but I have the ones I found online. Jorm famously has never made three of a thing where anyone's been okay with all of them. By the third, they always learn their lesson after the second one. The worst thing you can do is tell Jorm, "I love the first one." Then he's like, "Oh, okay." Hello? What's going on, man? How you doing? What is up? Nothing. Nice. Did you see SVU last night? No, no, I missed it. Oh, man, you didn't miss much. Although Abrams is pregnant, though. Right. So, you want to come over? Maybe help me set up my new surround sound? No, I'm good. Come on. Would you do that for me? I think I have work. Oh, right. That's cool. Oh, I don't know if I told you, but my girlfriend broke up with me. Sorry to hear that. Yeah. Yeah, I gotta move my stuff. I need to get my stuff out of her apartment. I could use the hand. It's a lot of stuff. I mean, we were together for almost two years. But, I mean, you knew that. Yeah, so you want to help me move? I mean, will you do that for me? Yeah, I don't think I can. Come on, you owe me. I do stuff for you all the time. Remember when I took you to the dentist? I took you to the dentist. Right. I mean, that was so fun, though, right? No. God, I'm so lonely. You want to come over and snuggle me? What? No. Just a snuggle. Come on. No. I mean, no. What'd you say? I'm sorry, what? I said leave me alone. Whoa. What's that for? You're just kind of a dick. I'm a dick? F*ck you. F*ck you? F*ck you, sh*tbird. No, f*ck you, man. Dude, if you don't come over here right now, I'm gonna tell everyone you sh*t your pants at that party last night. Say you didn't come over. Fine. Be outside in 20 minutes. So, I mean. So, I mean. It's 'cause it's "What would you do for a Klondike bar set?" Yeah. That's their famous thing. It's like, "Would you help him move?" Right. So, you guys, in this case. It's actually normal, straight-ahead marketing. You decided to make the Klondike bar, which is the product they're trying to sell. Hatable. That Andy hates it. A terrible. A terrible person. A terrible friend. The word "you" is very. is loose. It's "yourm." This was all yourm. Doritos saw this and was like, "Can you guys give us some of that magic?" But take your foot off the brakes, if you know what I mean. Yourm's comment. Feel free to go for it. Yourm's comment in our text chain when I laid this tweet is, "Next level. Literally hating the product being sold. Groundbreaking." Jesus. We're not gonna get our free Klondikes with all this kind of talk. Well, that's. I do feel like that's what happened, right? Whoever agreed to Lifetime Klondikes loved that. And then again, you know, they move on and somebody else comes in, and then a new request for, like, a fridge full of Klondikes, and they're like, "What's it for?" And then they watch this, and they're like, "Fuck them. They can take us to Kory." I stand by that, though. Like, In today's world with social media and stuff, something like that could work because they could be like, whoa, Klondike's on one. Why are they doing crazy ads now? I mean, did it not work then? I don't think, I don't know if it worked or didn't. There just wasn't, it just. Yeah. I mean, I will say it is perfect for a vertical brand integration on a TikTok video or something. That's why the way that people get like share all of Wendy's tweets because whoever runs Wendy's socials doesn't hold back and it doesn't feel corporate. Isn't that way? Yeah. Anyway, so we got Wendy's, we got Rock Vodka. What is happening today? Listen, man, the Super Bowl is coming up. I got ad fever. Jesus Christ. Fuck off, man. Here's the second one. Ready? Hey. Hey, I just had an idea. What? We should have a staring contest. You don't want to start that with me. Says you, Archie. I'm not an Archie. You're an Archie. Then prove it. Staring contest. Fine. Staring contest. Losers and Archie. Fantastic. Here we go. Hope you're ready to bring it. Because believe me when I say that I. Go. Oh, wow. So that's how you're going to play it? Yep. Well, you are going to have to bring more fuego than that. And here's why. Number one, I have style. Hi, fellas. What's cooking? Damn it, Archie. Get the fuck out of here. That's Bill Andrews. Yeah. Don't distract us, Archie. Oh, can't I just stay and watch? No. No. Get the fuck out. Okay. See you later. Bye. Why is your eye twitching? Oh, it's not. Yours is. No, it's not. Looks to me like both y'all's eyes is twitching. What did I say, Archie? Get out. Get out of here. Nobody wants you in here. Go away and die, you son of a bitch. Get the fuck out. Okay, I can tell when I'm not wanted. Get the fuck out of here, you fucking dunk truck. Okay, great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Uh-oh. Someone looks like they're losing it. Damn it. Oh, you're so molded. I beat you. Who won? I did, Archie. Thank you for asking. It was really fun. Fantastic. Fantastic. I also didn't, when it started, didn't call each other Archies. I just thought that was some slang I didn't know. And then it was really fun that it turns out they just have a friend named Archie that everybody hates. Do you think NASCAR, so for anybody who doesn't bother to go look these up, the way we're doing it is it's just a still frame of a Klondike bar that Yorm then in post puts two eyeballs and a mouth on top of. So it's very easy to shoot because we're just shooting a Klondike bar sitting there. But NASCAR was apparently sponsoring Klondike. Do you think they appreciated having their logo, their very protected logo, just sitting in the middle of this? It's great. It's great. I totally missed it. Yeah. There's a third one where he's driving a car that they never put out that Yorm has. And I know it. I know it because it's the only one I've actually seen in the last 20 years because at some point he found it on his hard drive and sent it to me. And remember, it has all our little, he keeps changing the radio stations and me and Yorm had made all these fake like radio station, like as if you like five second clips. Yeah. And one of them was like guitar being like, kind of like surfer rock. And it's just like, surfer guy, you're doing so good on the waves. That's all we ever heard. But we kind of love that. Surfer guy. Yeah, exactly. We did a bunch of fake radio. Surfer guy, you're doing so good on the waves. I think we do owe the world a full version of that song. Yeah. Very good. Do you want to, should we play We're Back? Is that maybe the most helpful thing to do next? That's getting us into Turtleneck and Chain. Yeah. I would love to hear it. I mean, we talked about not going quite as fast as we buzzed through Incredibad that we could actually go a little slower through Turtleneck and Chain. And so this, yeah, here's our music video. Hey, I have a quick question. Maybe while we're thinking about it. Would a thing, would a good thing for the pod to be like, hey, hey, what are you guys, are you watching anything you like right now? Are you listening to anything you like right now? Anyway, think about that and we'll watch this. That's for the Quades to answer us? No, it's for us, like just to talk. I mean, I feel like it's like, I think it'd be fun for us to talk about other people's stuff that we like. Anyway. So the album was coming out May 10th, 2011. Obviously that's almost the full summer after. That's the spring. That's the next spring. Yeah. So we're jumping ahead to April 1st, April Fool's Day of 2011. We're basically jumping a year, but because we're talking about the summer before, but that's fine. It's our podcast. We can do whatever we want. We put this video out on April Fool's Day. We sure did. We have such a demented sense of humor. Yeah. And the caption says, ask DJ Khaled, we the best, to track one intro song off the Lonely Island's new album, Turtleneck and Chain, album store May 10th. Here we go. This is Lonely Island, 2011, let's get them keys. Hey yo, my dick don't work, that shit is soft as a pillow. My curly looking at me like you for real, dude. Hey yo, hold up, hold up, we gotta come harder than that. Yo, gentlemen, I think there might be something wrong with my dick. It's like a mustard stick of butter, so soft that it can't feel no rubber. Hey yo, come on man, this is Lonely Island. People are counting on us. I gotta run on these motherfuckers myself. Hey yo, I think I broke my dick in the sixth. Ain't so small and ugly. All smashing flat like you can see. Hold up, hold up, this is serious. Keeps letting me know. Yo, for real though, I suffer from stinky dick. Every time I take a piss, it smells just like shit. Ha ha, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Andy, show me how it's done. My dick looks like the fat that you cut off a steak. Smashed in like my balls went and stepped on a race. Lonely Island, Grammy nominated. Yeah, hit up a chick. Yo, straight out the box with my soggy little shrimp. I was an eight year old girl before the doctor found my dick. We make too much money for this shit. Murder me right now. I kicked a bag up my dick, played a prank on my butt. Hit him, straight prepped when I slept and stuck a lap. You're both suppository music. What y'all know about hot shit? I got hepatitis C from a horse, but no confusion. It wasn't from the sex, it was a blood transfusion. Motherfucker got horse blood, what y'all got? I write freaky fan fiction, wear cartoons, fuck. Got CGI, Garfield licking Marmaduke's nuts. I would like to see that. This is that Garfield sex music. Now y'all just showing off. I got a. A friend named Reggie who lives down at the dump. Every other week I swing by to bring him some lunch. Oh, that answer sounds nasty. I'm gonna call it right there. Game over, motherfuckers. Lonely Island, we started this fake rap shit. The world needs us. Bravo. I mean, ain't nothing wrong with that. It is fun thinking about that this was our, like, announcing that we were gonna do another album. Yes. Like little inside jokes to ourselves, like Grammy nominated after the dumbest thing. You've ever heard. Because it was true, but also we were just like, it's so stupid. Yeah. You're both great in it. Yorma is insanely. This is one of the all-time great Yorm performances of anything. I mean, it's a goat performance. It's crazy how, I mean, I kind of couldn't believe it just listening to it now, how relentlessly great he is. There was a lot of, at the time, some of it still exists, but like people kind of labeling their crew of music like, Rick Ross has made. Yeah. And there really was like Murder, Inc. And there's just a lot of that kind of labeling. And so that's why we thought it was funny to just keep reasserting what this is. By the end, it's Garfield Sex Music. Which we did consider as the name for the album. Yeah, we considered calling it Garfield Sex Music. Did you really? Yeah, like kind of as a like Timberlake reference. Future sex love sounds. But also as a, what was the, because there's Cadillac music. What was the Outkast one though called? Where it was all in the album? Yeah. In one, there was no spaces between the two. Southern playlist of Cadillac music. Yeah. Yeah. Garfield Sex Music, all one word. Yeah. Three X's on the sex, obviously. Interesting. I wouldn't even think about the Outkast reference. Well, the reference was Speakerbox as well, because of the three X's on Speakerbox. Right. And you were like, I wish they were K's. No, no, Andy, again. But the speaker, we were definitely going to do Garfield Sex, sex, sex music. Right. All in one word. How far down the line? Did Garfield Sex Music come as the title? Not very. It was just on our list. Gotcha. I don't know about that. It might have gone pretty far. I think once we, once we decided on Turn on the Chain, we were very happy. But I think there were a few other ideas in the mix for the duration of recording, at least. Yeah, definitely. We always had a nice list. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that video. We shot it for very cheap, just all around New York. Like, I'm in my real apartment, my new apartment. That's no longer the one that me and Andy had had. Like, I believe that's my real bed with America Forever. Yeah, shout out America. Very nice of her to come do that. It was so nice for her to just, she just came over. Like, we had no crew. Like, there was two people in the crew. Just to be in it, to class it up and make us look cool. It was very nice of her. We had the same publicist, Carrie, and she just was like, America might be down. I'll text her. And she just came through and did it. It's also, I mean, again, it's that really funny thing of just super cocky. Also, you have a reason to be cocky because you have a new album and it's good. So your second album's also good. So you have real, and then of course, all you do is write. You can rap about how your dicks don't work. It's just really fun. There's a lot of turns in it that I love, but it wasn't from the sex. It was a blood transfusion regarding the hepatitis from the horse. Yorm's screaming he has horse blood. Motherfucker's got horse blood. What y'all got? But he's not denying having had sex with the horse. But I like, yeah, I love a lot of backstories super fast like that. Yeah, yeah. That obviously was written to be the first song on the album? Yep. Or written to be a song that would promote that the album was coming out? most important. I mean, we had written it the summer that we're actually talking about, the year before, as an intro to the album, as track one. And that beat, we were immediately like, oh. I believe it was a fella named B-Sides, and we'd used a couple of his beats on this record, and they all sounded to us like Just Blaze beat style beats that are just sample heavy, but they're kind of our favorite kind of beat there is. But truth, I mean, they sound like B-Side beats. I remember that this was one of the cases where you guys started writing it, but held a spot for me, which doesn't always happen. Seth, how many push-ups can you do? Like, if right now it was like, do as many as you can all in a row. 75. 20. 22. What? Jesus. No way. Do you work out, Seth? No, but proper ones where you really do it? I guess it matters how fast you're going. I wouldn't do an unproper push-up. Will you do it right now? Move the camera. Get the floor. This feels like. Come on. We got to do something exciting on this episode besides talk about commercials. Oh, my God. All right, we're counting. All right, he moved it down to floor level. He's really about to do it. And the mic is on the floor next to him. Oh, my God. He's on a carpet. He's in a sweatshirt, but it's cold there. I hate how confident he is. Ready? He's not going to over. Well, we can't see if his knees are on the ground. He could be doing it with his knees down. Three, four, five. He framed out his knees. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. These look pretty good. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. Oh, he's definitely tired. He's not kidding. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35. Slow down. He's slowing down. 36. Oh, God. 36. 36. But he had his headphones and glasses on the whole time. Yeah. His neck vein was ready to pop. Bro, I'm impressed. Yeah, that was way more than I think I could do. 36? Is that what it was, or 37? No, 35. I think the last one, you don't get points for going down. Nice work, buddy. Are you just gas now? Should we call it? I think we probably could just call it. I bet we could call it. Do you get exercise, Seth? Not that much. Obviously, less than I should. That was mind-blowing, then. I thought you went to the gym all the time. I have started going again post-news. So, that's why I was overconfident. That's why you were cocky. Nice work, buddy. Jeff, can we just edit this in when I say 75 and 50? 20. 22. And then you guys will be blown away that I do way more than I thought I could. All right. I know you alluded to it, but real quick, Spelling Bee. Yep, here we go. Jack Black. Spelling Bee. Spelling Bee. I needed one hint. What was your last word? I got a look. It's been a busy day, Seth. Yeah. What about you? I think I'm like four short. Oh, you haven't finished. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, I mean, we all have busy days. Seth's doing the rest of the pod from the floor, for the record. He did not get back up. He's laying down. One hint for gamine. What was it? For G-A-M-I-N-E. Oh, I had that. I had gamine. Do you know what it means? It means, like, it's some kind of animal. It's attractively boyish. I was wrong. It's an interesting word. Seth, did you listen to or watch something you liked? You were saying, why didn't we talk about it? I liked that new Little Game of Thrones show. A young woman with a mischievous boyish charm. Is that kid appropriate? The definition of gamine? Yeah, I don't know. It seems off. Oh, jeez. The new Game of Thrones show, it seemed like maybe it was kid appropriate, but it's not. But it is comedic. No, no, no. There's, like, huge dicks in it and stuff. Yeah, right away. I read. But it is comedic in a way? It is comedic in light. Although it's going to get dark. So it's like Bone Patrol, Andy? Yeah. Like 28 Days Later Bone Patrol? Oh. You weren't on that app? Yeah, Bone Patrol. Did you see Bone Patrol, Andy? No. No. Andy doesn't see anything. Isn't it Bone Temple? Yeah. Yeah, but you only kept calling it Bone Patrol. When? When I wasn't here? Yeah. Yeah. And he kept talking about, like, the zombie dicks and about the zombie blood and could it get it hard? And it was weird. This has really turned into, like, not a podcast faster than any episode. Like, I'm mostly because I've, like, been on the floor since the bookshop. And I'm, like, trying to wonder what happened that I started doing them. It's a nice reminder that you can do a podcast while lying on the floor. Yeah. That's a good, that's good for all of us to remember for next time. Yeah. Wait, hold on. Can I share a screen real quick? Sure, man. It's a free country for at least a little while longer. I mean, don't get me started, Keev. I don't want to get you started. Keev, is it true that if someone starts you up, you'll never stop? Yeah, if they wind me up, I go nuts. That seems actually a little inappropriate. It's just the way it is. It sucks. Just the way it is, it sucks. Yeah. I know. It's a nightmare for everyone. It's sort of the main problem with all of Earth. Yeah. But here we are. If you start me up, I'll never stop. Me, Akiva. Yeah. Ask Mick or any of the guys, you know. All right. We have a lot. We have a whole album to go through. It's called Turn a Lock and Chain. We can't wait to talk to you guys more about it. They don't all have videos. A lot of them will just have to listen and talk. It's going to be fun songs. And you know, Quaid Army, anyone out there, even if you're not Quaid Army, just casual listener, if you hated this episode, be sure to let us know. Do not. Don't listen to them. We can't take it. We're very fragile right now. I'm not. I rank it low. Seth learned he can do literally 50% of the push-ups he thought he could. That's going to fucking. But 70% of my second number. Seth, are you actually in trouble for the rest of the night and a little bit tomorrow as well now because of those push-ups? I mean, I. I won't be able to pick up my daughter. Like, I won't be able to lift her in the air. Yeah, yeah. You'll be so sore. Your arms won't be able to go above your head. Here's a thought. Here's a quick thought before we peace out. Yeah. People won't know this was the case until this moment if it was in it, but should we put, like, lounge music or some kind of dinky donkey little beat underneath me counting your push-ups? Yeah, I think so. Okay, cool. So if you're hearing this now and the music was in, you know that this is. We did it retroactively. Yeah, we decided after the fact. Like, light game show thinking music. We did famously, Kevin Miller and I were part of a. I mean, do we ever talk about the push-up contest? It was a famous thing that happened before you guys were on SNL where basically Tina and Amy, like, Tuesday night at dinner was like, who here can do the most push-ups and made every man do push-ups? And it was like, definitely if it was, like, men who made women do it, it would have been like a giant HR crisis. There is a typed up. Oh, yeah, that's the typed up. So Kevin just sent a typed up list. Of how many everybody did. So it is a typed piece of paper that's all wrinkled. It's a photo of it. It says, first annual SNL push-up contest results. Oh, my God. So somebody is suggesting this happens once a year. Yeah. Wait, Kevin has it because he won. Kevin won. Kevin Miller won. And I should say, so this was. And you got third place. I did 53. Yeah, I was third place. So you were way younger to do 53 and you thought now you could do 70? I don't know. I didn't know. I didn't. Oh, and by the way, look at this. They then. Did you see the side, the category I won? Bottom right. Skinny dudes. Skinny dudes. No, metrosexuals. Comedy teams. Metrosexuals. I was the highest scoring metrosexual. Boy, that is really of the time. I liked that they had little side sections. There's categories. There's the over 40. Shoemaker got zero. Just update. Fathers. Fathers. That is a separate category. Rob Riggle's the ex-Marine. Why did he get the fewest? Why does he have two stars next to him? Well, it's an asterisk. At the end, it says, served as a starter. What does that mean? Oh, I think maybe he was our pace setter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he didn't quite know how many people were going to actually get after. And then there was another star that says claims. Finesse got 50, but it says claims 59. Over form. Contested over form. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that is, I will say, so that. What year is that, Kev? It was definitely before 2005. So that's 20 plus years ago, and I've dropped 18 push-ups. And they say you lose one a year. Yeah, but what does it say about your mental state that your mental state. I thought you could do more. I just think that I'm, as one of these many, you know. It's just old man confidence? Right. No, I'm just one of these new age guys that is, you know, constantly recycling my blood out with younger blood. Getting stronger as you go. Hey, can we add one other thing? And I'll just get it clean now, and then you guys can put it in during Seth's push-ups. So I'm just going to say it clean, and you can just lay it over, even if I'm counting and talking. Go for it, Seth! Okay, so then if people heard that during his push-ups, they'll know that I just did that now, also. Yeah, yeah. Leave it in both places. All right, now, obviously, the other thing I'll say is, you know, there was no prep, obviously, today. Like, you know, I didn't eat right or anything. So once a month, can we do a push-up contest? Like, just how's Seth doing on push-ups? A hundred percent. Oh, oh. Just a check-in for you. Yeah. I think we are obligated to. A contest with yourself. Yeah. Once again, I don't think I could do as many as you did, but, again, you framed your knees out, and they might have been on the ground. I'm telling you on my children. I trust Seth. Seth is not dishonest. He's not dishonest about push-ups. That's one thing I know for sure. Yeah. All right, we have one last thing, guys. Rachel Lynn just sent me the voice note about Rock Vodka. All right, let's hear it. Hi, guys. Rach here, reporting in. Genuinely hilarious at the thing you asked for. My commentary on is Rock Vodka, but I guess if there was an expert on Rock Vodka, it would be me. My memory is that you guys shot a commercial for them, over summer break and then they generously sent you guys a couple of cases of rock vodka and then you guys generously gave me one of those cases and then i decided uh like a genius that i was going to drink an entire case of rock vodka with my friends uh my friends at snl um over the course of a season um i think there was 20 bottles in the case and snl seasons are like 21 shows so that does sound insane um but i was in my 20s then and i loved vodka so yeah also one of the great uh parts of working on digital shorts in addition obviously to working with you guys so was that my work was for the most part done by the live show so i could like really crack into a rock uh and get to partying during the show so i was kind of like working with a pretty solid buzz or sometimes just drunk um going in to the after parties and then i didn't need to buy drinks at the party and so that was sort of just like um solid fiscal responsibility on my part um but yeah i also remember that like i'm not sure what they put in rock vodka um but yeah i also remember that like i'm not sure what they put in rock vodka but it would make me go crazy it would be like very very fun wild crazy drunk where you're just like yeah you're just doing nutso stuff um and it would result in i think i mean andy probably remembers it better because i was uh drunk on rock vodka most likely but uh andy one time was leaving of an after party uh i think it was probably heartland brewery and as he was driving away he saw me walking through time square back towards uh heartland brewery with two just like tall glasses of beer in my hands um who knows away to the m&m store or something stupid like that she took two to go she was holding two giant cups but yeah rock vodka god what a season rock do they still make that are you guys should do another commercial for them we basically did and they should send us more cases of rock vodka okay that's all i remember um oh wait uh if anyone was wondering we did a video on rock vodka and we did a video on rock vodka and we did a video on rock vodka and we did we did finish i did finish uh the case of rock vodka over the course of the season we were rock stars uh you know in the sense of the word rock being rock vodka um okay bye guys love you love you rage thank you the best thinking maybe we're finding out that it wasn't the marketing but that rock vodka just made people crazy it was great it was crazy bug it is still one of my fondest memories of my whole life was us being in the car going home and just seeing super casually walking towards time square with two full pints of beer in our hands just double fisting uh okay uh love you guys love you guys love you later arnold later quades
