The podcast reflects on a mix of humor, nostalgia, and behind-the-scenes creative decisions. A joke about "grand papa" sparks a discussion on wordplay and generational humor, while the group celebrates how personal memories—like family word games or childhood films—fuel their comedy. They revisit a sketch that faced technical issues and creative missteps but ultimately retains charm, showing how even flawed content can resonate. The conversation expands to discuss iconic movies such as *Steel Magnolias* and *League of Their Own*, where shared emotional moments are highlighted as both powerful and funny. The team also acknowledges how comedy has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, sometimes serving as a form of digital tax or pressure on audience engagement. A standout moment involves praising a fan’s daughter for her sharp, thoughtful performance, which underscores the personal and emotional depth behind the humor. The episode concludes with a reflective tone, recognizing that even forgotten or poorly executed sketches can leave lasting cultural imprints, especially when rooted in genuine human connection and shared experience.
[MUSIC] >> Hi Seth, hi. >> Thanks for the shout out on your show. >> Yeah, there was a good shout out to you guys. There was a punchline in a monologue joke that said somebody set the record for most shattered pelvis that just literally just said as an aside to shoe like, "Oh, you'rema didn't have it for very long." >> It was definitely like no reaction from the audience, but it really does. >> Yeah, they're like, "It would just be for the quays." >> No, and there's like maybe one person and I was like, "Oh yeah, that guy." >> That's right, it was Stephen Heller who sent it to me. >> Of course, Stephen Heller. >> Hey, you know what, I'm going to switch things up. >> Ooh. >> Jack Black, sing us in. [MUSIC] >> There goes our metrics. Let's go, Andy. >> Yeah, I got that shit clean. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, you cleaned it up? >> Yeah. >> Good job. >> Seth, how did you do? >> Thank you for asking. >> No, Seth Erasier from Keeve, you're a decent friend. I have bailed three short and I'm totally fine with it because here's the thing. I was really proud of getting grandpa, and then I kind of moved off that, and there was like grand pop and grand papa. >> And just like dudes. >> I get so mad when it's that sort of thing. >> I don't get mad, I get even. >> Yeah. >> Who decided grand papa is a real word? >> I know, why don't care for it. >> I bet a lot of older people wrote in to get that one approved key. >> A bunch of grand pops did? >> Yeah, they were like. >> Seth, you know exactly who approved it. >> Azerzky, my name is Si. You guys, guess what I got today? >> That's so good to try. >> That's so fucking lit, y'all. >> Thanks, Andy. >> I mean, I don't have my own theme song. >> Can we see if Azerzky will change solid to lit? >> I don't think we can get him to do that. >> Maybe like a special holiday episode. >> I feel like even he would be like, I don't think people say that anymore. >> Grand papa's dude. >> That's why Travis Scott used to do his hypes like that, right? He'd be like, yeah, solid. >> Yeah, that was exactly. >> Solid as a rock. >> I'm locked out. I pay for the New York Times, but just for news. And I can't even do these things. >> Wait, what do you mean you're locked out, what does that mean? >> Well, I don't pay for the gaming one. And I'm behind the paywall. >> They figured out. >> They could. >> They could. >> And they again, did fine. >> I just frame him for the games. >> But I don't want to play these games. They're literally, that's like a bunch of you guys are like saying you're addicted and it's ruining your lives. >> Why would I pay to follow him? >> No, just go to solid and then be done. Don't be an addict. >> Are you saying I'm not yet living a full life? Because my day was ruined by the fact that I couldn't come up with two different ways to say grandpa? >> I think it's for like, I'm living a pretty full life. >> I wasn't saying it wasn't a full life. I was just saying it's doing damage. >> It's, here's the thing, it's clearly become a tax right off for this fucking show. >> Oh yeah, it's true. I can get my $5 back or whatever it is. >> I want to do a joke about, because my dad, when I go home, my dad plays so many word games. I brought my daughter home to visit my parents and it was like a full morning of him doing word games. And he said that there's studies that say, it makes you live longer. And I was like, yeah, but is this a life? >> Right. >> At what cost? >> Yeah. >> Why make this go on longer if that's what it is? >> Yeah, what are the other word games you place? >> I mean, he does wordle, he does B, he does crossword. He then he does number games too. He likes Sudoku. >> Yeah, man. >> And then he's like, there's a new Sudoku. Like he's always very excited about the new stuff. >> I do them. I got connections. I got letterboxed in two today. It was a good day in the word game of sphere. >> That's really nice. >> That's impressive. Letterboxed in two is, that's impressive. Even I know what that means. >> Oh. >> That one makes me sick to my stomach. >> I love that one. >> I love somebody looking at all those letters and trying to figure out how to criss cross it to get it in two words. >> No, that's my favorite. >> That's fucking sick. >> What are your words? >> Oh, look at you. >> Wow. >> How do you want to say? Brightener and round man. >> Round man. >> Come on. >> What? >> You cheat? >> Oh, the band. >> The band. >> Yes, Seth. I knew round man was a word before I tried it. >> There was my favorite line because it's such a, I remember, a show I love, Game of Thrones. Remember they would get touched and they would like, they would get grayscale. And at one point they wrote a boat and they see like just a dude who kind of looks like a rock on a cliff and he goes, stone men. >> I was like, oh, I feel like we could have worked a little bit harder on that one. >> Yeah. Like a subspecial name. >> You want to call them round men? >> Round men. >> Round men. >> All right. So here were the two hits where they're communicating with us in New York Times games. Obviously, Andy was in the mini. >> Oh, yeah. >> Thrilled. >> And that was specifically you. >> Yeah, specifically. >> Yeah. It wasn't a different Andy. >> And then right after we talked about it in the spelling bee, bedhead. Right after we talked about bedhead, Jones. >> Oh. >> Bedhead. >> All right. >> Somebody then said the Azersky for the New York Times mini. Somebody said I was at a book signing event with him and I went up and I said, hey, is there any truth to the fact that you guys were trying to communicate with the Lonely Island Submerged podcast? >> Yeah. >> And he said no. >> He said no? >> He shut it down. >> What? >> Of course you have to. >> That's what somebody would say. >> Yeah. >> Who is doing exactly what it's like. >> That's right. That's exactly what they would say. >> We're on to you guys. >> The normal answer, by the way, is what? What are you talking about? >> What is that? >> Right. >> What do you mean? Oh, you think that we're sending, like what? >> Yeah. >> Oh, because we had that clue to just go, no. Like what? And they're out of book signing. They didn't have time to get in debt. >> Yeah, that's true. They probably just didn't explain it to him well. >> Here's the thing. At any book signing, just ask more questions about this. I think they'll help him. >> Oh, hey, was this a joke that you feel like you didn't get credit for in the last podcast where we're talking about Boombox Andy? >> Yeah. >> Somebody said talking about Julian, did we have a fan on his hair? >> Mm-hm. We said, hopefully we had a professional hair stylist. >> Yeah, that's right. >> I missed that. >> Everybody on the pod missed it and then like a few members of a QA were like, hey, just Andy FYI, I know your co-host missed it, thought that was super funny. >> Appreciate that. >> Yeah. >> Appreciate y'all. >> When I listen back to our podcast sometimes, I hear you guys say things I know I didn't hear. >> All the time. >> And part of that is Zoom. >> Yeah. >> Because Zoom mutes people and chooses who you can hear, but we are all recording on our own mics. I think it's professionally processed. That's true, but I also think that there's something about the human ego that you're just thinking about what you're going to say, you know what I mean? I don't know. I'm just maybe I'm going to speak for myself as a rising star of the three elements. That's what I'm focused on. I'm focused on trying to fucking win. >> I don't care. >> I don't care. >> You're trying to get your character up the ranks. >> Yes. >> You want to win the podcast. >> Andy gets it. Are you guys going to listen to the very special episode that's just me and your arm? >> Yeah, for sure. >> No. >> No. >> Is it on video? >> It is on video. >> It is on video. >> So you're trying to top us by doing the first video podcast for this podcast without us. >> Yeah. >> Well, we were showing things that people are merchandise. >> We're showing the merch. >> Some of the things. >> I mean, should I just go watch Steel Magnolias again instead? >> Yes. >> Because you're going to cry. >> I love Steel Magnolias. You want to talk about that? >> Yeah. >> That's great. >> If we're going drippy saccharine, why not go to the past? >> I tried to go drippy saccharine twice on the pod and I got played off once by Seth. >> Yeah. Well, I think Tom Scarrett would take umbrage at that comment, Andy, because he's not very drippy in that movie at all. If anything, he's playful and callous. >> Oh. >> Yeah. >> He's like shooting at a tree all the time. You don't know you're Steel Magnolias, so I would just keep it out of your mouth. >> Guys, can I have the floor? >> Yeah, sure. >> I just want to say, I'm not too proud to be able to admit it when I'm wrong. >> Now, I have to Google and make sure I'm thinking of the right movie. >> In this case, when you Google, you find that you are thinking of the right movie, I am just going to let you know, I apologize wholeheartedly. >> I am sorry, and I was wrong. >> But if you're wrong, you're fucking dead meat, cave. >> It's a really good movie. >> Let's rewatch it. >> Obviously, it's a really good movie. >> Obviously. >> Let's ask you a true or false question. Julia Roberts. Is she in Steel Magnolias? >> True or false? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Wow. >> You guys really didn't know your stuff. >> Dolly Pardon? >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> I initially think of Terms of Endearment when people say Steel Magnolias. >> Of course. >> Terms of Endearment, of course. >> That's the James L. Brooks. >> Tear Jerker. >> Yeah. >> I love that one. >> Catches the off-guard and fucking flattens you. >> It flattens me. >> I think I told you guys. I cried 15 times watching League of Their Own. >> Really? >> No, that's not right. Seth? >> What? >> You don't know why you shouldn't cry watching League of Their Own? >> Oh. >> Now I remember. >> I have a guess. I didn't even want to say it. Because it's so gross. >> Yeah. >> Go ahead. >> Son of a bitch. >> Because there's no crying in baseball. You bitch. >> You fucking loser. That's the only thing you're not supposed to say. >> I don't say it. >> I'm going to make a list of all the-- >> You cried 15 times? >> It's the one rules. >> I cried so many times in that movie. >> The only time moment of that movie is the end when they're old and they get together and they walk through the museum and it goes for like 10 minutes and they're like, oh, this is real. >> They made me cry. There were so many moments that made me cry earlier. >> Well, when John Lovitz was being sexist. >> There's a moment where a girl thinks a girl is standing at a chalkboard and she thinks she's been cut because they're like these are the people. And then they're like, hey, if you didn't make it, you didn't make it. And then another girl runs up and goes, can you not read, honey? What's your name? And you're just like, oh, God. That is good. I forgot about that. >> She's a fine girl. She never learned how to read and she makes the team. That's one. There's like seven more. There's somebody good one. >> Yeah, but what about when John Lovitz is hitting on him though, that's not it. >> Love is just so funny. >> Keith, when you said, why can't you cry watching Liga their own? I thought you meant because it's a league of their own, you know what I mean? >> Oh. >> Without Keith. >> Yeah. >> But like, leave it to them to cry. >> Yeah, hey, hey, hey. >> This is for them. >> No, it was because of there's no crying in baseball. It's the most famous line from the movie. >> Yeah, I got it.
It's not a sad, it's not a movie you cry, that's weird. - Terms of a deerman. - I mean, Seth, this is your MO. - By the way, I remember, Buddy, I'm gonna tell Keeve, two daughters, you have two daughters, it's a fucking movie about sisters. I guarantee you can't, I watch it without crying. Anyway, the floor is yours, Andy. - The joke wasn't good enough. (laughing) - You want, what are the two sisters' names in, look at their own? Pamela and Erica. - Bam, nailed it. - Dot, I can't. - I actually can't think of both, it's Kit and-- - Dot. - Dot, fuck, who is the actress that's not Gina Davis, the younger sister? That one, they care about her. - Tank girl, Laurie Petty. - Oh yeah, fuck. - Laurie Petty's bad ass in that movie. - I think the Tom Hanks should have went and Oscar for League of the Round. Here's my quick question, we have not planned on this. Name somebody in a comedy that you think got overlooked for an Oscar because people do not value comedies. - Will Ferrell. - In what movie? - Uh, uh, uh, Lionel lost? (laughing) - Man, that's good. - Shit. - It wasn't up for anything, either except for that Rezzi. - Yeah, there's plenty. - Yeah. - Groundhog Day should have won most things the year it came out. - Yeah. - I think that's a great performance. - There's not that many movies that hold together on so many levels and create a genre. There are very few movies that once they come out, there's a new genre of movie. - Yeah. - That's a huge deal. - I know this is a cheat, 'cause it's not a comedian, but I thought Ray finds in a grand hotel. - Grand Budapest. - Grand Budapest. - Grand Budapest. - Oh, he's still good. - There's so funny, and also still a great actor. - But it's also the precision that-- - I'm sorry, you can't do it. - You can't do it. - I started thinking about Alan Partridge. - You know, people get blown away when I say this, but the camera angles. (laughing) - Boy, for good. - By the way, you guys know it's a soft short when we've gone this deep into the pod and we're mostly talking about movies from the '80s and '90s. - We don't even know where we're gonna talk about it. - It's a shaggy top. - It's a shaggy top. - I would love for all of us to have to watch either, well, to watch Steel Magnolias, not terms of enjoyment. - Yes, let's please do a re-watch of that. - We could do a Steel Magnolias re-watch. - I did watch when James L. Brooks was traveling around with a bunch of prints. Like two years ago, why was that happening? But there was a bunch of prints of his films and I did watch a print of terms of enjoyment. That's why it's so fresh. - Did he go around with a giant suitcase with a handcuffed suitcase? - Yeah, it was similar to Mike and Ike's animation festival. I don't know if he was being spike or spike or Mike. I mean, he was traveling around with his prints of y'all. He's wacky, kind of like, any cartoons. - And people getting here, I mean, he would go, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, back off." - Yeah. - He was going to different colleges. - He's like, "I know I've got a broadcast." He'd go through his big old briefcase and he'd be like, "Well, how about a broadcast news?" I know I've got one in here somewhere. - As he would take things out, it would make a honking and clanging noises. - Exactly. - And send here somewhere. - A couple more lists or notes before we get into this very special episode about the name of the short, I already forget. - It's not online either, I just tried to find it. - No, it's not like, what's the old one? Like a daily motion. - It's a daily motion. - Oh, so I was complaining about how you guys caught me out of pop star and somebody said, "We all know it wasn't their choice. "It was Bezos' call." Somebody said, "If somebody with a Scottish accent "ever says quayd army to us, "we should reply righteous murk based on our conscience." - They just smirk, that's very good. It's really Scottish. - And then this one, you know, I got to say, it hit close to home, how does it feel that Akiva's daughter was the funniest person in this episode? Ooh, really nuts. - It feels good. - She was being pretty, she was being pretty hammy. So that's about our place. - She's being pretty hammy, but it's pretty great. The fact that at one point, she said, correct me if I'm wrong, and then add, really, man. And she was reading ahead in the copy and surprised me with that. I fully understood the task at hand. 'Cause I just make them cold read. I don't even tell them what we're advertising. - Yeah. - And she knew it was smart enough to know to read a paragraph ahead, prepare that in her head. And when I stopped talking to go, correct me if I'm wrong, but the seven is fine. Just jump in as if like a QVC sales. - It was really good. - I gotta listen to her show. - You could hear in your voice, Keith. There was a little bit of surprise and delight. - Yeah, yeah. - I might, I might rub them in after this for this week. - Hey, so this is our friend Ryan, host of the show. And there's two things I really wanna dig in about this one. First, I think we should just watch this short. It is a totally fine short. Obviously not memorable to any of us, I think, right? We were all talking about last week. We don't really remember. But there's fun moves. Have you re-watched it today, Andy? - We all remember the house. - Yep. We all remember the location. - Why do I think there was a McGruber in this episode, but I'm looking at the rundown there isn't? - I don't know. I don't know. And I agreed with you. I was like, there had to be one. Did he do the Pepsi ad and we're picturing the Pepsi ad? - No, but Ryan hosted four McGruber though. - Yeah, totally. - Right, but there is not a McGruber sketch. - That's crazy. It was about to come out. - It seems very strange. - What were we doing? - Maybe you guys were just like so just tapped. - Yeah, it's a movie now. - Maybe we gave up. - Yeah. - Maybe we could have just been like, it's not gonna work. - No. - Respect. - So we're gonna watch this short. We're gonna enjoy it. And then it's only two weeks later. Two shows after Mondo Buts failed with Jidlaw. And we're just gonna rewatch the second effort. - Oh, right. - Mondo. - Now I should note, he was nice to you guys waited at least one week before re-submitting it, but the host in between was Tina Fey and I think that was a good instinct. - Yeah, although retrospect, she would have been really funny at it. - Yeah, I mean, ultimately we're like, you made a good call and it aged shit twice. So maybe not. - Yeah, I'm dreading slash giddy. - Did you pre-watch this time, Seth? - I only pre-watched this short. I kind of wanted to re-watch Mondo Buts. - I'd like to point out, it went to dress again, which means the show believed in it that it could happen. - Yeah, I feel like this is maybe the era where Lauren is now a little high on Andy's supply. - Oh my God. - I just think, no, he believes in you. - There was never a time when that was the case. - For a lot. It was never that for the last. - Yeah, pre-tap. - Until Andy laughed and then he was like, he was finally there. - Yeah. - I miss Mondo Buts. - He just needed a hundred and he needed a hundred and eighty episodes of Brooklyn 9.9. And then, oh, now he's loose as a goose. - I mean, that's not untrue. - Seven years, did you do seven years? - Seven seasons of SNL and seasons of Brooklyn. - Seven years of SNL and then when you left Lauren was like, he was finally figuring it out. He left too soon. - We've skipped one of the headlines. - We did skip a headline. - A member of this foursome went, well, I didn't physically go, but was involved in last week's SNL. - That's right. This is my group. - This is your arms. - Yeah. - Does she go a whole moment? - Okay. - And this was, this was a total request live courtesy of Glenn Powell, correct? - No, yeah. No, Glenn requested it. It was a totally different idea. And then, of course, thanks to Mr. Will Forte, who's always has his finger right on the pulse of what he thinks my grouper should be involved in. It was that my grouper was in the Epstein files. - Yeah. - So he's good to get here. - He's like, how did the Glenn thing, like he was talking to Lauren. - He was actually talking to Pete Hike, 'cause they're pals. And Pete, and him, like, this is how it got to me, was that, was that, and then it was mentioned to Forte that it was an idea for, wouldn't it be fun to do my grouper? And then, it was a very last minute thing, 'cause also Forte was working on Tina's show. And so he's out on the East Coast, but it was like all very last minute. So we were like writing, you guys know what, writing with Forte is like, but it was like in the cracks of his schedule of that TV show. So we actually, when we were writing, it would be like at lunch for the show he's wearing with Tina and Tina, the four seasons, I believe. - Yes, the four seasons, Tina Fey show, and Tina read the parts. We basically did a table read with Tina. - That's fine. - That's fine. - But that's how, like, last minute it was. - That's great. - Yeah, I finished them good jokes on it. - Should've got her to read Mando Bus, while you were at it. - Oh fuck. - We could still resubmit. - Yeah, yeah. - But no, it was fun. It was a fun one to tell you. - I also, I want to say Lauren, and you might not believe that Lauren was a huge fan of Andes, which, of course, he was. - Lauren loves McGruber very much. - Yes, yes. - I surprised to say this is no exaggeration. With that said, I saw Lauren, I'd dinner with Lauren, maybe the Monday of the Glam Power Week. And he was like, and Glenn loves McGruber. And so he wants to do a McGruber. And I was like, that sounds rad. And I liked it, like, low key. Lauren also thought it was rad, but he just has to. I don't know what I'm expecting. Lauren's like, you're not going to fucking believe this. - Well. - We're doing a McGruber. - Well, I also texted with Lauren afterwards, 'cause I was like, "parley this into another, like a sequel?" (laughing) Like, universal loves losing money, right? - And he was like, I God, what was his response? It was like, like, kill yourself. (laughing) - Look at this as no, I mean, it would be a good time for McGruber to come out now because like, no movies make money. - Yeah, exactly, and that's exactly right. - Yeah. - I said, can we parlay McGruber being in the news to doing a musical for Uni? - Yeah. - And he said, maybe. And I said, universal hates making money, right? And he said, totally opposed. (laughing) - Okay, so this one, Keeve, this is again, a chrysal. I'm gonna say. - No, no, we did this. - We're back in the business. - Well, 'cause we made Boombox last week. We're back. - Oh, right. - I remember making this. One of these guys started getting at it, but the one thing we really remember is it was the first time any of us had seen a nice, a really nice house in Manhattan. - Yeah. - It was the location. - Yeah, unbelievably, like huge. Like, you just didn't see apartments that big, which is not even an apartment, it's a full house. - I don't remember what the premises of this is, but I remember it required doors in specific places. And I remember asking for it, thinking, Well, well.
and we'll never get that man hat and they were like, took us to this brownstone that was like a double wide, just a real house you could really live in in the middle of the city. And I just was blown away. - You have to explain though, like to anybody who lives outside of New York, when they come over to your place, you have to explain that it's good. You're like, "No, no, this is good." Like because the real estate's so expensive here, if you even have any space whatsoever. So to see like a place that is like, it looks like a normal human's home in the middle of the city is like. - Yes, it would look good by any standard. - Yeah. - I don't remember where the premise came from. I think I wrote it with Malaney. - Is that right? - And I'm assuming you, Keith, if you directed it. - I mean, I think, I mean, I was definitely involved and we probably normed the whole time. - I mean, I was on, we definitely shot him. - You remember this being a Malaney? - I feel like I remember writing with him because he was there when we were shooting and he kept something from it. - I don't remember Malaney being there. - We kept a prop. We should've got a voice note from Malaney. - But I will say it's weird. We're really in the soup at this point. It's crazy to think that there's a whole short where I genuinely can't remember much. - Are these the right names? 'Cause it has our names on this, but. - These ones are often wrong. - Yeah, okay. - Are you gonna walk us through it, bud? - Yep, pulling it up. All right, so I don't even remember what the comedic conceit of this is. That's why I can't even talk about it. - You know what I think about it occasionally before we really watch these things, guys? - Yeah. - Is that Andy and I used to work at Spin City, the show Spin City, and this is back in the day. And there was a guy who was doing warm up for the live show. And he would always ask that they were about to start and they were right before the election. Like I would say, he'd get his voice real low and he would say, all right, let those laughs go, guys. - All right. - Let those laughs go. And I was like, it was the most hateful, let those laughs go. - I have ever heard of. - Don't hold 'em in your mouth. - Let those go, guys. - Yes. - You'd still say that all the time. - Every time we're about to watch my eyes. - That's what I think. - You're, you're, don't be stingy. Let those laughs go. - Let those go. - You can't take them with you. - Don't might, you feel everybody look up. You see those mics above you? They're gonna be picking up your laugh. - Oh, baby. - You're laugh on there. - Being broadcast to the world. - We're not saying laugh if you don't find it funny, but we also are saying exactly that. - Yes. - We're okay with it. - The best was always the, like, writers on the side going, (laughing) - My joke seems to work. - Well, during rehearsals especially. - Yes. - Trying to, like, fill that space through. - Oh boy. I think we should keep that joke in the show. - Well, it's because they didn't want the actors to lose faith in the material. - Right, right, right. - Makes sense. - Even though that's how we would all lose faith if we heard writers laugh like that. - Yeah. - They also put our nice little sport coat and ties on Show Night. Here we go. - Let those laughs go, guys. (laughing and clapping) - My end type gets. Very shaky camera, Keith. - Kyle, what are you doing here? - Megan, stop. Before you say anything, I just wanna apologize. I am the biggest fool in this city. It was you all along. It's always been you, Megan. - Kyle, you really should have called. This isn't the best time. (laughing) - Is there someone here? - Babe, who is it? - It's nobody. - Hey, bro, how's it going, man? You must be Kyle, right? - This was a mistake. I shouldn't have come. - Like, I like this trope. - Oh, very familiar trope. - Yeah, I love it. There's a kind of shittiness that Andy gives that to me. - Yeah, that'd be it. - Hard to beat. Just even from off camera. (laughing) You're just like, fuck, this guy. - Yeah, it's a very nice sound design for the first. (laughing) - You're like, definitely far enough away that you wouldn't have heard the door. - And he thinks the guy seems nice. He wants to go out of his way to say that. - Yeah, so this short is called the other man for people that need to Google it. It is on daily motion. It is such a good trope that if this short had been better, we maybe could have put this trope, put a little nail in the coffin on this trope, but the short isn't that famous. So the trope lives on. I feel like I've seen it this year. - But as we establish some guys walking away from explosions, sometimes the tropes are just gonna live, you know? - Yeah, I don't know if you killed this one. It's too handy. - It's a too handy trope. - I saw an article that there's an explosion in House of Guinness that was inspired by our video about not looking at explosions. - Yeah, okay, that really tells you something, Keith. Like, you are causing more tropes. He's like, hey, what if we do that trope? - They, but they do look back. They tried to put their own spin on it to make sure they didn't hit the trope that on because of what they see. And I read an article about it. - Oh, 'cause they didn't want them to get troped out. - They knew the video was there and they're like, we can't do this because that's what they're saying. - So what does it guys do? Do they look back and then like high five each other? Like, yeah, I think they still need to be bad asses, but they look back and see it and then keep walking or something. I didn't see it. I didn't see that. - I mean, it's kind of what we did on. - And we got to Google it. - The weird thing is, 'cause it's like a period, you know, that show is like a period piece. - Yeah. - And when they look back, if there's a freeze frame and then it goes trope buster. - Oh, gotcha. Yeah, it doesn't make any, it rooms in the show. Some people said, but they were adamant. They're like, look, you guys, look at the short. - Dope buster. - We're not gonna get caught with our pants. - They look back, Dope buster. - They're like, this technically takes place in 1800s before anybody else or were technically the first ones to do the trope. - I like that you just started googling things. - I don't wanna find them today. - Wait, look, it's up there though. Do you see it? - Oh yeah, that's all right. - Andy Samberg and Lonely on Spiderman, epic scene in Netflix's House of Guinness. - You know I've actually had a Guinness to drink. - In your life? - Yeah. - So I've gone to the Guinness factory. How many of you guys have gone to the Guinness factory? - I'm sure, Seth's been to the Guinness factory. - I have been in the class back then. - Hold on, this looks like, I mean, keep reading this article 'cause I don't, does anybody works on the Guinness show say this has anything to do with it? - The one I read was talking about that. In an interview with Netflix UK. We were shooting the scene. I was gonna somebody do this in a British accent. - We were shooting the scene in my business part. - It's gonna be a song from Andy Samberg, which is cool guys don't look at explosions. It's basically a cut of all men and women in history and film with explosions behind them and none of them looked back. We decided then and there. We're like, "Raffity is cooler than all of them." He does look back. - Joe Buster. - Joe Buster. - They did a two version of the scene where they didn't look back. And the last couple, he looks back, but doesn't react. I feel like the guys who made the Guinness show would have been Irish though. I'll read it again, Seth. - Oh, fuck. - Yeah, good. - We are shooting the scene, right? I make my business fire to race. Hey, me as hard. I'm a samberg. Top of the morning. We all remember top of the morning. Big. - All right, we're done with the popular sketch back in the day. - I remember it. - All right, here we are. So they're in a romcom. All right, went first beat. It looks like it's shot on real lenses. Like we did a little better job, but we had no lights. - This is a DP. This is a song. - Yeah, but here's what we didn't have. Light. 'Cause in a romcom on the shot of Ryan on the street, you would light New York City, and so you'd have beautiful brownstones on the other side of the street, and the city's in like, I was saying not having light though. Looks kind of nice. All right, let's just see Andy coming in again. - Babe, who is it? - It's nobody. - No pan. - Hey, bro, it's a good one. - You must be cool. - You must be cool. - You seem nice. - This is so wishy with Ranga. It's you. It might be the same way. - You're also, are you exactly Lady Gaga later in three way, going in to find you in the vet? She has a bull cereal. Is she in a bathrobe? She's like, "Oh, you guys are still here." - I don't think that that's connected. - I do have this weird memory. It's correct me if I'm wrong, of Stephanie, Gaga. Coming in and saying, "Could I be dressed like the other guy in the other guy sketch for this moment?" - Right. - And she had named him too, right? - And then Andy was super mad. He's like, "Oh, Ryan's the other guy." - Right. - You didn't get it. - And she was like, "No, no, look, no offense. "Ment, I'm a huge fan of the website, Daily Motion." - I have an account. I've got two drops for Daily Motion. So far, I got three. - All right, keep going. - He drops his bouquet of flowers, goes away. - Oh, another beautiful shot. - Overhead shot. - Cinematic game. - He's got another apartment. - Hey, Kyle. What are you doing here? - I followed your advice. I told her everything. It was a disaster. Look, Ron Kay, I come in. - Yeah, now's not a really good time. - Hey babe, we're out of Munchy Flakes. Oh, hey, bro, good to see you again. - You should have called. - Yeah, you should have called, bro. It's unbelievable. Come here to you. (laughing) - There's a real consistency to your performance throughout the Sandy that I enjoyed a great deal. - Yeah, we're all out of Munchy Flakes. - You're out of Munchy Flakes. - But also, Bobby Moynihan, the perfect best friend to the Ryan Philippi lead of the rock com, who gave him the advice to go after and spill his heart. I don't know if that's the compliment, but he played it well. - I think he's played it in real life in various movies. - Yeah, okay, well. - There's no shame in being the best, bro, in a rom com. I've never been asked to do it, so you know. - But also, how great that this house had a blue door inside it and a hallway that's big enough to look like we're in another apartment building when we're just-- - I'll give it an Oscar, best supporting actor and a comedy, what we're talking about, the best friend trip. What's the Ben Stiller movie where Philip Seymour Hoffman's, so fucking funny, is his best friend? - Along came Polly. - Yeah, there you go. - Oh yeah. - You wanted him to get an Oscar for that? - I do. - Oh, okay, gotcha. - Well, way in in the comments. Hit it his and then to this, guys. - Yeah. - I think if we're gonna give a post, what's it called? - Post-Germus Oscar. - Yeah, Post-Germus Oscar. - Post-Germus Oscar, to Philip Seymour Hoffman. - He would be that movie. - That's the one. - Okay. (upbeat music) - Mom.
Dad, OK, they're ahead of it. Are you ready? What's wrong? I am having the worst day. First Megan broke up with me. Baby, who is that? Oh my god, not you two, Mom. Kyle, what are you doing here? Dad, for a second, I thought that-- Hey, there you two are. Hey, I'm ready again. Nice hiding. Oh, hey, this time, let's do the mom, OK? They are ahead of it, but they was a nice one. Yes, my child. Father, I need your guidance. Oh, right now it's not really a good time. Hey, baby, oh, what are you doing here, Mom? He's not that upset about this Gremlin showing up. It's this sex Gremlin. Oh, that. That was great. What? Going up. There's a couple of things that are good here. Yeah. Really good. There's a poster on the wall of Subway, and it's a picture of me in the character. It says, "I fucked your pair." Is that what Malena kept? Yeah. I feel like that's very Malena. All right, so then you're at another house. It's your parents' house, and it's Wig and Fred. And so that's the mislead that you just heard. But again, just this house, it's amazing. It's got all-- we're shooting the whole thing in one house. It's like we're all over town. You just sounded a little bit like Howard Stern. You're like, "It is house. It's amazing. It's house. It's so long that I glimped house." Do you have any idea what I would do to this house? Double-wide. There's some great restaurants. The location. It's below us. Did you ever think about actually fucking this house while you were there? You came in. Was your real dick? And so then Andy enters. He's got a blurred crotch now with a big old thing kind of buying the blur wagon around. Was that your real dick in? Oh, it's a Stern interview. No Howard. No, it was prosthetic. All right, did you keep it? Did you keep it prosthetic? Nope, didn't keep it. See, for me, I would never be able to do that, because I mind very small, continuing, you know? All right. Then he's at a confessional in a Catholic church. Uh-huh. And we got Hader looking very good. And again, nice lighting. And again, they are ahead of it, which is why it has to win on performance. They know you're going to be there, Andy. Yes. But it's really nice. It happens very fast. I wish there was a different twist here, but we're just going fast. Yes, my child. Oh. Right now is not really a good time. They're living. Oh, that's good. Oh, my. I do like it's the window on the other side of the confessional, the little door. Yeah. And I like that he calls the priest babe. That's fantastic. He's consistent. It's OK. The beat is well shot, too, but honestly, because his next beat is so good, it's cuttable, I would say. Because at that moment, we're a little too far ahead. But Hader was red-hot. Red-hot. We needed to include what we could. All right, then he's in the subway. He's a poster of Andy with the serial and says, I fucked your parents. He hates seeing that. Look at that picture of him. Oh, he's realizing-- OK, so he goes home. He's sadly looking at a photo of better days with him in the scene. But then notices, what the? He's never noticed before, but right behind them, Andy with the full serial. This is a very-- this feels like a photo that you'd want to keep as well. Yeah. It's a very nice photo. This guy always has a full serial. I hope Ryan has that photo. We should have given that to him as a gift. You know what it is? It's like Donald's-- it's got a real Donald's southern land and Animal House. I feel like he was wearing a robe like this, maybe eating serial. Remember, he's the professor or Jeff Bridges in this-- Listen, man. Still magnolias, league of their own, terms of a deer mint. Those are key movies. Animal House-- you lost me. Interesting. You know, and I thought of-- I thought of when Jeff Bridges moved and was always held on, and all he could do was play with his iPhone 17. But it has a similar kind of vibe. I'm sorry, was that an ad or something? OK, keep moving on. OK. You. Kyle. Before you say anything, just listen. Good. The others didn't meant nothing. It's always been you. Are you doing in Antonio Benderes? No. But I am wearing a huge fake chest hair thing under that shirt, I think. Are you? Yeah. It's not really the best time. What? Who is it, babe? You. You. No. Come on. Yeah. I got a bone to pick with you. I have a bone to pick with you. We'll come over here then. You'll come over here. I'm not coming over there. I'm here in the doorway. Hey. Look, I've been thinking, and I should be with you. You're way better than this guy. We have, right? Yeah. Want to get out of here? I'd love to. Come in here, and now fight. We'll bring it on you. We're never you ready. Great. I will. I'm coming. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. This is it. This is it. This is it. This is it. This is it. Oh, my God. Because he was doing the over the joke. Oh, I forgot about that fucking mat, youngs. That is the best fucking cameo. Maybe if any digital horror. Get that. Fuck. Alright, big up, youngs. Is it criterion? It's not. But it goes from one where you think the audience is going to get ahead of you and you end it with an impossible spreading. You just needed to kill some of the middle beats and get here a little faster. It's pretty good. It was never going to quite work on like, it's a great final moment. It doesn't have, we didn't think of as many twists as like the mirror where we really were finding ways to tell this, to tell the story in a different way every single time. And the beats couldn't get fast enough to have that like propulsion of the game. No, because we had to keep resetting to slow romcom, Yama, which slows you down. Look at fucking yonks his face in this freeze room though. It's so good though. It's so good. Yeah. It's like an intended ending akiva or do we come up with this on set and try it. I think on set because we dressed him like that so that we could do the over the shoulders between two of you. Yeah. Exactly. And then we were just like just walk him and turn around because it's too good. So good. And staring at the camera. Oh god. It really, it's really everything you need here. Here's what I'll say. Agreed Seth. No criteria about any stretch. But if we were doing like a clip reel of all our best shots, I might throw this in now having completely forgotten about it. It's wonderful. Perfect performance from yonks. Agreed. Here's the other thing. You also say this occasionally, Seth, where like a sketch or whatever it like is a brainworm for one particular way that a person says a line. And I will say that as soon as we watch the end of that, I'm like, Oh, I do occasionally say, I have a boom. Could be with you or something about the way. And he said that. This predaped the first person boots movie. But I swear there are scenes where that's what's in boots is literally saying and it's like Pandera's going like, you break me. I break you. You break me and they repeated a bunch of times. It's kind of I know what you're saying. They took it from us. Yeah. You want some money? And then do you was that? Is that when it frees frame? Did it win? Joe buzz did. Yeah. He turns. If I'm remembering right because I've been watching like 10 years, Puss turns around and he has streaks face. And there's two pusses, but one is sure. I know that's the name of the character, but even you just saying that made me feel uncomfortable. Look at what I looked up though. All right. So when I tried to find this on YouTube, the first thing I typed in was the other man. It's crazy. And the first thing came up is a movie from a year ago that I've not heard of, which is even crazy because the main star of it is Liam Neeson. And I thought I was paying attention to every movie he's made in the last 10 years. From one year ago, the trailers from a year ago, I don't know when the movie's out. And it's literally just from this thing, it says suspicious his wife, Lord Lenny, is having an affair. And then the other man is Antonio Benderas. Okay. So that came out 2008 though, so did we rip that off? We are getting the accent, but we're not getting our moment. I mean, I was intending the accent to be more like, frankly, how your army used to do Macedonia and stuff. Yeah. Like I wasn't imagining it. I mean, yeah. Benderas. How's it going, bro? You know? And Macedonia, man. Yeah. Where are people talking about the ice cube war of the worlds anymore? I thought that was going to stick around a little longer. Even the duds don't stick. You know what I mean? I know. Like we talked about G. Lee. That was in the consciousness for so many years afterwards, and we still talk about it. Like it still exists. War of the worlds with ice cube. I didn't even get to watch it yet. Were you there when we had a, we had a G. Lee joke and something when Ben hosted like fucking 2000. It was the year after you left Andy, because he hosted haters, friends and today's his last show. So 2013 and we had a G. Lee joke and he was said, he goes, Hey, we're on the floor. He goes, Hey, just FYI, they were worst movies that year. And he goes, and there's been a lot of worst movies since. Was it a good movie? No. But everybody talks about it like it's the worst movie ever made, and like it wasn't even close to the worst movie that year. It was really fun. And it was very fun for him. And he wasn't saying it was a good movie. He was just like, why do we? It's just a fixation. And I'm like, one thing is I go just out like G. Lee, it's just so fun to say. But the dude who directed it is named Martin Breast. And he directed Beverly Hills Cop, Oh, piece of shit midnight run. Oh, fucking son of a woman, Andy, son of a woman, oh, this guy, how is he not dreamt of Hollywood earlier? Son of a woman. Seth. Yeah. Thank you. I almost meet Joe Black. First 10 minutes of meet Joe Black are the best thing I've ever seen. I said, Hey, it's like Beetlejuice. You did. Wait, I've been doing an intermitable joke during corrections about how I want to start calling based on Son of a Woman. I want to start calling Al Pacino the talk hua guy. Oh, when, whenever I, sorry, any kind of new production, it works mathematically. It works. Whenever I start a new production for anything, I buy a whole bunch of Scarface posters. when we, me and Solomon were shooting down in, in, in Albuquerque.
I got a whole bunch of Scarface posters and then wrote on them two Johnny for John Solomon two Johnny Who I love Al Pacino. I really liked that to him just to intimidate all the new crew members who come through I just like the idea that he does doesn't know which movie he was in, you know say say the most iconic line from Scarface Andy But as Barney from the Simpsons Yeah Can I can I make a gripe about my dad sure? It's a little bit of a tangent. This is the place for sure Mostly so we can just figure out why you what just happened inspiring okay, you guys know this photo, right? This is before you say what you're about to say. I just want to say this episode is gonna be real embarrassment of riches of stuff that we can cut Yeah, so just throw something else in there, but but your mom's dad is known as weird Al Pacino. Yes First of all, there's that right? So that's why he's making the connection here by his children only No, but everyone at the Berkeley Repertory Theater called them we had our patino. No, the way that came about you I see you with the theater department. No, the way that I came about was that is that ASA right before Mari met my father ASA was in the car my dad was coming in from a flight ASA my brother was like yeah My dad's kind of like a mix between weird Al and Al Pacino and then Mari was like you mean weird Al Pacino And he was like oh shit, and then as soon as they get put together and then my dad sits down and then and Mari Who's never met my dad as is like you guess what Mari just called you weird Al Pacino She's like I didn't call you that I just put two things together that you said like Anyway, so I'm gonna I'm gonna put these in the feed because my dad. I'm so mad about this Okay, that you just saw that picture then I had this photo. This is a My father as Al Pacino in the crazy killing spree in the end of Scarface and I gave him that that Painting it's an oil painting. I had made for him and then I gave it to him to put up at the Berkeley rep And then he fucking gave it away when he was leaving the Berkeley Repertory Theater He gave it to like the the set department when I was like that cost me $400 that joke like fucking bring it with you That's my gripe guys, all right your arms grips. You're my storms. We are moving on All right, wait it's time to watch a Mundo butts round two of Mundo butts. Yeah, I've first question Do we think the set's gonna look the same and there's gonna still be like pillars and shit? No, I think it's gonna be different I don't I think it's still a basement, but I don't think there's still gonna be the Parthenon and stuff Why would you fuck with anything perfect? We saw Rob Klein yesterday Seth speaking of our office It was a perfect office day. We had Rob Klein working all morning while me and Andy were in the other Room having a business meeting with your month speaker and then timid Zach showed up for the second half and we chill with them for what was What was client in the building for he was just writing I think he was writing on Andy's movie But he just was using it as an office. All right, you guys ready. Yeah You're watching Tacoma public access. We got the same intro and make it tracks the music This is empire music Mundo butts with Dave and the scooch All right, I'm stopping so at the table though wasn't this parakeet. Yes bookshop parakeet Something what junction what are you talking about? So I I'd assume that I made it to dress because that's what I always remember about it But it goes coming up next. It's parakeet book club and it was like you thought it was gonna be like a literary show And then it went he did it as a misdirect at the table and we called it parakeet book club So that everyone didn't know that we were doing Mundo butt singing And so it was like okay parakeet junction and then it was like and then all of a sudden it will go Yes, it was like if you can find it while we're watching it was I believe it was coming up in in an hour parakeet junction but first In the why remember the whole table So you want a hundred people groaning it was it was very fun. Okay, so that is totally different immediately different. Yeah, so now there's a there's a butt behind you No longer a Greek pillar. Yeah, there's a bust of a butt like a mannequin that's been sawed. Yeah It's entirely too sexual by the way. Yeah, cuz it's because mannequins are pretty like yeah It's shapely now and there was above it that we panned down from a giant banner That was also in the shape of a butt with butthole. I might note. Oh, yeah, there was a bad hole in the band. Yeah There's the answer about oh, yeah, it's got a hole All right, your look has been way tone down. Yeah, Andy. I don't know about way, but tone down It's like the wigs like a little lower. It's been finessed. Everything looks a little the clothes look a little lower It's more subdued. Yeah, all right. Well, let's keep rockin with Dave and the scooch All right, welcome to Mondo but the only show dedicated to the world's most perfect body part the butt I'm Dave and this is the scooch good to dig Yeah, we got a sick show lined up. Let's kick things off with butts in the news But in the news I think they messed that up a little glitch a little bit. It is going worse Definitely going worse from a technical difficulty performance wise killing it. Yeah, they hate you more because of the like I will say that having a Parthenon behind you didn't make you hate them as much as the full butt mannequin makes you hate that agreed Okay this week Jennifer Lopez attended the premiere of her new film The Backup Plant also in attendance was her butt Awesome now it's time to play Boo-Man or Buttman. We'll start with you scooch scooch. Are you a Boo-Man or a Buttman Buttman Same our next segment is called if but it's good talk hey, Dave if but's good talk What if Catherine Higel's butt could talk I wonder what it would say scooch. I love you Dave and that's good We love you too Catherine Higel's butt All right, so the butt can talk and it has a real like sort of unsettling Animated a lot of yourm vio in this one. Yeah There's already been multiple technical difficulties. Yeah, Andy. Can you think back and put yourself back in that chair How do you feel like it's going right now? It's eating shit and I'm sweating my ass off But you know you know a gorilla's go. No, I don't know that it is in my knob. Oh, yeah Do you think it's not coming now it might not be I don't think that's part of this one That's why I was excited to rewatch it just oh man not excited because I think it's good But just to see what we tried okay, Andy when when you're on set you're performing you have no clue how bad the booth is fucked This up so far with their technical things, but I have heard the audio of the two like package pieces that they they put into early Yeah, you can tell you can tell you can see my face My face was bummed when because he started doing his line and they threw it on and then it was a mess Yeah, you could tell sums off, but that first one goes to black screen. So it's even worse than yeah, you could imagine I mean if they were trying to sabotage it on purpose hats off to them Okay, now the linchpin of our program the world famous buts of the week Buts of the week Okay, I saw our first but the week in the parking lot this chick walk by me and I snapped to keep her up her dropper Let's take a look Parking my boys All right, very nice I spotted butt number two doing some gardening in my neighborhood and I just had to get a pic check you that out Garden but Wait That butt looks kind of weird.

Um, I'm a butt man All right, yeah, yeah, if it's a whole new game. It's not a bad one, you know I said it's a complete total rewrite and it's actually work. I mean it's working pretty well This chunk I would argue the opening credits does all the work of assuming you guys are just like the classic sexist You're going after girl butts. You could have we could have almost skipped the whole first half and got right to this Yeah, completely agree because it chilled them Correct. Yeah, you're right. We don't have to yeah, we don't need the extra to set up beats of you guys being creeps Just go straight to butts of the week. Yeah, but let me just say I'm proud of you guys I'd never believed that you would just abandon the gorilla. I mean the gorilla was really like The only thing I mean, I loved it obvious you could still be you could still be coming he could still be coming We have yeah, we have a minute
mentioned that the zoo parking lot he so I think I remember where this ends and it's not the girl yeah but I thought we were talking about girl but whatever you sexist alright let's bring out our

have been okay yeah there's a it's it's it's an almost yeah and I liked that the show rewarded you for you know doing a thorough rewrite trying we're trying it here's when we had a table and this is my memory of it and it's very funny that it was not even addressed and it speaks to how many memories are formed at the Wednesday table and how this joyous choice you incline made a state with me forever open on public access bumper you're watching Tacoma public access coming up next the daytime Emmy winning program Parakeet Book Club with guest moderator Sydney Poitier cut to live Andy and Ryan is two dickheads on a couch Andy Parakeet Book Club has been canceled and then we're into Mando but there you go that's a lovely thing for the table it was fun you know SNL's like summer camp yeah and it's best you know sometimes you get a tortured the counselors I texted asking for a follow-up second Mando buts voice note and he didn't send one but I said Seth wants to know why the first one had Roman pillars and he said because the hosts of my no buts thought it would be a classy touch obviously that's I think that tracks down the basement of KT whatever it was yeah and then they get attacked by gorilla all right well it's been lovely gentlemen as lovely as love all you tigers what do we think I feel like this is lower third like bottom third episodes of the digital short or the podcast the podcast yeah I can I can never tell man I can never tell dickheads people have said such nice things in their letters and I'm like what I don't even understand what's happening anymore it's okay at last one Andy I will say last one maybe top five I had a hoot listening back I had a hoot listening back to the murking was really killing me people really said that right it's a gaming thing right people say that oh it's definitely a thing just you know not in bravery is it because it short from like a mercenary killing I think it is murking yeah or maybe it's like mercury poisoning someone oh that's what it is yeah that's what it is I'm gonna slowly kill you over time as you roll mercury in your hands because your dental assistant and you know I'm gonna force you into the dental industry into it and then eventually you'll die of mercury poison or maybe not even killing you maybe it's like a moonshaws and by proxy kind of a thing like just a little dinkle doodle in your food this feels like when I used to do improv shows and we couldn't find it out right although we were done I thought we were saying I love you and goodbye wait wait wait but so what would you do in that situation Seth I thought we were waiting because you were like looking up somebody on your computer that you wanted to bring up as one last thing yeah now the only reason we're still talking is because you and Andy didn't say I love you I can see your computer in your glasses and it says red tube oh is that back up and running I got another great Alan Partridge bro that's messed up I'm Jeffrey Tuman in it I'm I'm Tuman it that's what red tube is for it's red I'm red Tuman hold up is there a new tapper illustration before we go oh yeah yeah where's the new tapper let's throw in the chat oh so worse we do I'm glad we didn't stop recording this is great wow I never stopped recording this is look this is people enjoy because you know what sometimes people listen and they're like it just comes to them so naturally so it's good when they hear us working oh my god I was just good oh my god tapper all right we're looking at the new tapper so you don't look like Mark Cuban Seth the
