Transcript
It's the Lonely Island and Safiyars podcast.
Hey, so we got on the pod, and Andy started saying that Keeve's pushing 80, which I was thinking, is this Joe about age?
No.
Does he have a new project with 80 Bryant?
But explain.
No, Naked Guns pushing 80 milli this weekend.
And Keeve, you were saying that maybe Andy is more plugged into this than you are on a day.
Yeah, he's been tracking it for me and letting me keep it.
I'm excited for my guy.
How many times do I have to say it?
I'm Ben Affleck.
He's Goodwill Hunting.
I'm going to show up at his house in a couple weeks and he's going to be gone.
You're going to get a very calm smile.
Yeah, man.
Leave me to do this construction, bro.
He finally did it.
He's not will hunting.
He's goodwill hunting.
I do want to point out that Ben Affleck's character never calls him Goodwill Hunting.
His full name, though, legal name is Goodwill Hunting.
He changes it when he goes out west?
I think so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And is that what he's doing in the movie?
If you really assess it, is he hunting for Goodwill?
Oh, wow.
It turned it on its head.
I don't think I did.
I think it was a very intentional.
You almost forget.
I don't know.
I suppose
that's his name.
But also that
it's a play.
We need Affleck himself, king of the DVD commentary slams, to weigh in.
Yeah.
Anybody who hasn't heard the highlights of Ben Affleck doing the Army Gun DVD commentary.
There's that scene with Ron Williams where he's like, just give me a shot.
Just give me some goodwill.
Yeah, yeah.
Lend me some goodwill.
I'm just looking for goodwill.
I feel like like everywhere I go, I'm just hunting for goodwill.
I did an Emmy panel with our friend Ike Berenholtz, and at some point it came up, and I said, You're like the other janitor in that movie.
And Ike immediately started doing a great bit where he was just telling Will not to mess with the chalkboard.
Yeah, you guys got to
touch the equations.
You just follow me.
You do what I do.
Soon, you're going to be in charge of putting the ice in the urinals.
Oh, my God.
That's fucking fantastic.
I had to text Ike the other day because I was doing my Emmy voting and I am very happy and very hopeful for our friend Ike Baron Holf, best sporting actor in the comedy.
He's in the same category as Harrison Ford, which if you're a guy of a certain age, like you're like, what broke right in my life that I'm in the same category as Harrison Ford?
Well, yeah, it's just, you know, somebody roped Harrison Ford into doing comedy.
Yeah, there you go.
There were a couple of things that needed to happen.
I voted for you, Seth.
A little corrections.
Thank you, buddy.
You know, we call fans of corrections jackals, and obviously we know what we call fans of this podcast.
And someone said, a person who is a fan of both corrections and this podcast should be called a Jack Guade.
Oh, my God.
Right.
So there you go.
It fits very snugly.
Very snugly.
I voted for Corrections too.
And let me just say, having no recollection of what the other nominees were, they can burn in hell.
Thanks, buddy.
And I think it's a good cover that you don't, because again, there are a lot of them are friends of yours.
I genuinely don't remember.
hi yormy hi good to see you buddy i'm great good to see you wait you're great so you don't care about frisbee okay so we can start
we can start we can you can definitely back off the mic sorry look you could turn down your record of all you could back off the mic just a skosh who me yeah yeah i'm just getting a lot of blowout a lot of bruffs he wanted to come in loud and hot to talk about my dead dog yes and don't get me wrong yorm we love your bruffs we never want your bruffs to leave your body only your bruffs
Don't cut me wrong, Jorm.
We love your bruffs.
By the way, now they're just too much.
I just don't know if I need them like so deep into my ear canal.
So much bruffs.
Sorry, Yorm.
I hate to do this.
Can you stand up a little bit so I can see those pants?
Oh, yeah.
Let's check out them pandaloonies.
Okay.
Other shorts.
I just came from the swimming pool, guys.
Stand up on the chair so we see some leg.
Let's see where it hits on the thigh.
I'll be honest, I was with Jorm when he bought him and I encouraged him to because they're swim shorts.
Oh, yeah, they're good.
And I thought for a pair of swim swim shorts, those are pretty good.
I think they're good.
These are the shorts.
Yorm is in LA.
I saw him for my B-Day.
That's correct.
He swung by.
I'm told, Jorm, you haven't stopped wearing those shorts since you bought them.
And that's not an exaggeration that you've worn them every day since.
No, there was a different pair of black shorts that weren't quite as wild that he was wearing every day.
I wore, well, okay.
I was on set.
I was wearing some Man United shorts.
And those ones I bought a long time ago.
But I bought Man United shorts.
Then our caterer, Dave, made fun of me and was really mad about it.
He's English and was like, oh, I don't want to serve you anymore.
He was like, really, he was joking around about it.
But because I'm such a fair weather asshole, I also have some Arsenal shorts.
And those guys won over the weekend, put them on, pretended like I had just bought them.
And was like, Dave, look what I did.
And then he really liked me after that.
But it's really just because I'm a piece of shit and I don't know anything about English football.
I was going to say, for $1 million, name one player on either team.
I can't, Andy.
I just like that when you ask Jorm about a pair of shorts, he starts talking about a third and fourth pair of shorts.
Definitely.
I just want you guys to know about the whole canon.
Yeah.
It's a tap.
They're like, were you wearing those ones or another pair of black ones?
And then Jorm told us a story about two different pairs of shorts.
Yeah, well, but he wasn't wearing first of all, they were black and blue.
Actually, when I was growing up, shorts were all the rain.
1982 shorts.
Picture this.
Yorma, come in, come in from playing.
My dad was always yelling at me.
This is how off-track we've come from the theme of this podcast: we're talking about clothing shorts more than the actual digital short.
Oh, my God.
I will say, this week's digital short might be less memorable than the four shorts that Jorm has just described.
Jorm's going to do a one-man show on Broadway called Shorts, and everyone's going to be like, it's going to be about the digital short.
Nope, nope.
Shorts.
With a Z.
Peace pair, I bought to impress a caterer.
Like, oh, my God.
he does this Dave character.
It is not a great British.
1983.
Oh, my God.
I'd watch the shit out of that show.
Shorts were out,
but not for me.
It's all I have.
It's going to be like Neil's block show, but you'll just have all the shorts on
the big wall.
Yeah.
And you'll point to this one and go, oh, that pair.
I begged my mom for pants.
I begged her.
But no dice.
Terry Claw.
She wouldn't budge.
Pants were for kids whose dads didn't leave.
Is your family sad, Seth?
Like, how was it?
How was the day?
All right, yeah.
So I do want to start by saying Frisbee passed away, and it is very sad.
As sad as it was, equally funny that there were multiple major news organizations that wrote articles about it that talked about how she was Andy's arch nemesis.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think, A, that I would have the privilege of being so inextricably linked to Frisbee's demise as that good old Frizz would get so much love love and coverage.
I mean, what a dream come true across the board.
It really was amazing.
It was funny because my kids kept coming over saying, What is that?
I'm like, it's another article about how your dog died.
My mother-in-law sent me an article about it.
I was like, oh man, this is the New York Times.
Is Frisbee breaking the net?
Frisbee broke the net a little bit.
It was also, it was a little bit like that thing where every now and then people get angry.
If, you know, this is a bad example, but if someone were to refer to Hillary Clinton as as like bill clinton's wife
and it's like she has her own accomplishments the amount that like the headline had your name and not hers i know like she was worth more than just how much andy hated her andy sandberg's nemesis dies well i mean the fact that also the news broke right around my birthday it didn't hurt things
um look i've grappled with how to handle this a lot seth you know there was a stretch of time where i was like you know what this is like a hot item now like this might be chris rock refusing to talk about the slap till he gets paid for it you know what I mean I think there's a little of that certainly yeah um but you know I mean look for anyone out there who wants to just make sure like people are actually like real human beings and are friends you told me before the news broke I did and I feel like it was a normal response it was absolutely
exactly what you'd want for a friend.
I also reached out and said, well, the awkward moment has finally arrived.
And also want to say I'm really proud of you because I feel like I have been, you know, throwing hints out for about a year that she's not going to live forever.
We were in her last 12 months and you did not take your foot off the gas.
And I just think that speaks to
volumes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I just feel like that would have been disrespectful to her in a lot of ways.
Because she would have known.
Yeah.
She'd been like, hey, don't take it easy on me.
Andy, but Andy, before Seth called you, did you practice your maniacal laughs at all?
Or no?
None of that.
It was really,
it was really good and very nice.
I was concerned as a parent about how the kids were taking it.
And then once I was told that that was all in order, I did fire back a couple of things that were maybe mean.
I would mean.
I mean, I think anybody who listens to our pod and have heard our kids, my kids, talk about Frisbee.
They could probably clock that they're doing okay.
I think there was, we were texting this whole thing, Norm.
So there was definitely a little discussion between us about
how it was sad, but also undeniably very funny that
he had to have the conversation with me.
It's very funny, Andy.
You just inserted yourself into his family story.
So much so that it was covered in the middle of the day.
It was a little bit like, hey, dude, this is weird.
I'm dating your ex-wife.
Hey, man.
So haven't told the kids yet, but you were my first call.
My.
Well, we were very disappointed because we remembered the weekend that you met Frisbee.
Yeah.
And Alexi does an incredible job of saving photos, found multiple photos of your beautiful wife, Joanna, with Frisbee.
Yeah, which she sent, and they were nice.
And I had memories of you and Frisbee, and I'm really bummed we didn't have a picture of it because I would have loved to have posted it on the day of her demise.
For the record, showed her those photos, and she said, I remember that like it was yesterday, and
said she really liked Frisbee.
That's good.
See, once again,
I will also note, though, Seth, like since this became something that everyone I know started calling and texting me about because it became a national news story,
a lot of people really sharing my shock that Frisbee was female.
Yeah.
A lot of people, like, I don't want to kick you while you're down.
I feel like she's so elegant.
A lot of people being like, who names a girl Frisbee?
Like with disdain in their voice like that.
That's actually
why.
Yeah, not on the visuals.
Nice, kind, thoughtful people, but like,
it made them a little bit mad.
Yeah, okay.
Seems so weird.
Look, I know, I don't want to kick you.
I don't want want to kick you while you're down.
Seth, your brother's dog also had a great name, which was Pickle.
Pickles?
Pickles.
Pickles.
But that's a boy, right?
Yeah.
Pickles is a boy.
We were dog sitting a girl, Italian Greyhound, that we fell in love with.
And when our dog sitting was over, that's when we got frisbee.
And her name was Baloney.
Oh, all right.
So it gets worse.
It can be worse.
It's like the opposite of it gets better.
Yeah.
The campaign, not just the words.
I understand that that wasn't like revelatory.
Yeah, it gets worse.
Wait, Seth, are you guys already moving on to like thinking about another little skinny dog like that?
You can say rat dog.
I wasn't going to say that because I would never.
Just watch you struggle around walking around the edge of the well of rat dog.
Yeah, man.
Look, I'm not going to be offended.
Would you ever get another one of those creatures of origin unknown and like put it in your house?
Now, do you have to use a summoning spell to get a creature like that?
And so, like, are you buffing out all the wood floors now from all the clack marks?
What is the over-under on when a new dog does come?
It'll be a different kind of dog, but you think never, or you think it's like a three-year-old?
No, I think it's going to be a long break.
Really?
Again, the kids.
Can you publicly talk about the weirdness of your family dog history, like your parents?
So, I will tell this really quickly because it has resonated with me why this has been a problem in my grieving process, Keith.
Okay.
So, when I was a kid, we got an old English sheepdog.
My dad named it Albert.
When it died, was it a girl?
He got a second one and uh, he named it.
See if it ran in the family.
All right, sorry, Seth.
I know this is a traumatic thing.
I felt that problem.
I won't interrupt again.
But being weird about dogs, did you hear it?
He named a second dog that looks exactly the same, the same name, not Albert Jr.
Yeah, yeah, just Albert.
Weird that you say second Albert and not Albert II.
We do say Albert.
Like when we talk about them historically, we'll say Albert II.
Sure.
Yeah, like Audrey Sr.
Okay, I got it.
Oh, yeah.
The fact is, my parents are now on Albert VI.
That is
bonkers.
Wow.
That's That's a strong choice.
So the thing is,
that's so tight.
Because again, Frisbee was 14.
And the amount people are like, 14 is like a really long time, man.
That's that dog was around like a huge part of your life.
Yeah.
That's both true, but also in my head, I'm like, yeah, but we've had Albert for like 45 years.
Oh my God.
Like genuinely.
Because they all like sheepdogs all look alike.
I mean, I know they're different Alberts, but like I go home and visit my.
They actively try to get one that looks no, they don't, they don't need it to look alike.
Oh, okay.
So and when they show up, they're puppies, I'm assuming the new ones.
Yeah, yeah.
So a kid would have noticed, like, hey, the dog got way smaller for a little bit.
Yeah, but my dad's, my dad was walking Albert at the top of our cul-de-sac a couple years ago, and a high school friend of mine drove up the cul-de-sac and he had just gotten remarried.
And he was like, hey, Mr.
Myers.
And he was like, oh my God.
Hey, Ken, how are you?
He's like, good.
This is my wife.
We just got married.
And I was just showing her my old neighborhood.
And he's like, oh, hey, this is Albert.
And they talked for a while.
And then Ken was like, is that the Sam Albert?
Is that a 35-year-old dog?
It's like a Black Mirror episode.
Yeah, it's like a Black Mirror.
At least you're not like cloning it and doing some weird genetic stuff.
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah.
So that's on the positive tip.
You're not cloning it.
Pat yourself on the back for that.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Although, did we keep a little frisbee DNA just to keep the options open?
I was going to say, over under on a on a frizz clone?
Yeah, did you keep like a leg or?
I will say we we dug a hole and buried her, so I know where she is.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, is that how DNA works?
Can you just dig them up and use any of the old kinds of great question?
It's a great question.
I think it has to be fossilized in amber.
Yeah, it does seem like you can't just wear it.
I mean, right now it's fresh enough.
There's plenty down there, but in a little while, it'll just be the bones.
How much time do you think I have before the DNA goes bad?
Well, before it fully dries out to powder?
By the way, I love Frisbee very much.
At no point was I ever like, oh, I got to get one just like this.
How long did you think it was going to be till you started asking questions?
Like, how long till the DNA goes bad after her passing?
You can just Google dog to powder Half-Life and you'll get like all the graphs you need.
By the way, how great would it be if Andy did that for you as a favor?
Like, dug her up and cloned her and gave it to you as a present?
Like, that would be like a whole foot of circle.
Or Andy gives me a little bit of his DNA.
We mix it up together.
Ooh.
Like, like a half frizz, half berg?
Yeah.
Like a fly.
A frizzberg?
A frizzberg.
Don't nobody draw that and make a teacher.
Nobody.
Frisberg.
Okay.
Okay.
Question.
Would that dog like itself?
No, it would be a self-hating dog.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it wouldn't be too different.
But yeah, so anyway, though, it was, I mean, again, she was a great dog.
Yeah.
For a lot of she once we had kids, it was like she said, I'm not going to play anymore.
I'm just going to be old.
Yeah.
I do feel like that was a shift that happened.
And so maybe one day we'll have a dog for kids, but it was I really did.
It made me laugh and smile that her legacy was that my friend hated her for 14 years.
Like that was the other, it was also nice to be like, oh my God, Andy and I have been friends for so long.
Truly.
Oh, that's nice.
So she was like a demarcation to you.
She's like a little bit of a yardstick with your friendship.
Yeah.
I mean, I knew this was going to happen, Seth, but it has sort of mixed my emotions up a bit because my love, you know, for you and your family is now tied to my disdain for the dog.
Yeah, but now it's almost like you're free and clear.
Like the one issue, the one hurdle you had was over in my family.
Right.
But I feel like it's meaner to make fun of the dog now.
Yeah.
I don't.
I don't.
I genuinely don't.
I think that we need like one or two more apps and then I think it's open season.
Back to.
I was talking to Sandberg.
Shoemaker was saying that Frisbee should maybe, probably be in the Emmy in Memoriam.
Oh, yeah.
But then Andy correctly pointed out, like, because historically every year there's some massive oversight.
Yeah.
And they forget someone.
Not from a place of malice, but I just think that like it would be extra bad if like you forgot like a really famous sitcom director, but then Seth's dog was in.
I would argue if Frisbee's not in it, that's a massive oversight.
Yeah.
Because we're talking about TV legend.
She's not quite legendary enough.
And so I'd be worried if they put her in, they'd want to put a picture of me in, and there'd be a moment where everybody thought I died.
Well,
don't they do that with the famous dog, though?
Like, didn't Lassie get one?
Yeah, Lassie.
Lassie definitely gets it.
I think you could argue Lassie had more of a cultural footstep.
But Seth's made him believe it.
And then Machiavelli.
Machiavelli.
Well, she's going to have a great second act.
Here's one more thought.
If it was the In Memoriam for podcasts, I think no question.
Oh, yeah.
I think you're right.
So for ours, we can just have one with one slight.
In Memoriam for just our podcast, I think, top line.
I think that anybody's wondering why we're spending so much time on Frisbee.
One, she was a big part of this pod and my life.
And also, this is a digital short that I literally could not remember.
I actually don't even know what we're talking about.
Before we even talk about that, though, I want to talk about that.
I happened across an Instagram clip that I just texted you guys from Seth's other rival sister pod.
Yeah.
Hassan Minaj.
Yes.
Well, the rival pod, not the rival guest.
Right, right.
Correct.
No one's saying Hassan's your rival.
Yeah, the pod is the one he does with his brother, family trips.
Unless he is your rival.
Do you want to say it on the record now?
We get some clicks.
No.
No.
Okay, I'm just chasing those clicks.
The thing about me is I chase clicks.
That's like how I spend my time.
We're never gonna break through.
If I can't get them click hits, dude, I just tail off.
Now that's making me sad because that was also like what it felt like trying to get Frisbee was just chasing clicks.
She ran across the floor.
It'd been so much better if one of us had said that to you.
How does an animal's foot just be a whole nail?
Just like raptor without the pad part.
I guess it would make them fast if they were on dirt, right?
Fast on dirt and useless on everything else.
All right, so rival pod, clip.
Oh, so he's from Sacramento.
So he was talking to you about Marine World Africa USA.
And I wish I had the time before we got on this to go listen to the whole up because I wanted to know if that conversation kept going beyond the clip.
But Marine World Africa USA.
That was a big part of our time.
I hadn't thought about it in a while.
It's gone now, guys.
Oh, that idea.
But hearing Seth trying to even just parse out the words of, wait, Marine World Africa USA.
It's crazy.
It's weird because in a commercial, I think it rolled off the tongue nicely.
You know, it had no commas, no punctuation.
I vaguely remember the song.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Marine World Africa USA.
Something like that.
Yeah.
And there were a couple different ones with a couple different ads.
Oh, let's see how close I was on the song.
Hey, hey, we're the Bee World
Africa USA.
Oh, that's just the monkeys.
Like, hey, hair.
Killer will.
Pull-on.
Tiger running
dirt motorcycles.
This is
a ball pit with
a giant Garfield.
A ball pit with a bunch of kids and a person in a Garfield
costume.
I hate Garfield
costume.
That is a huge Garfield.
And now that is Hey, Hey, Were the Monkeys.
Hey, Hey, Were the Monkeys, like, they must have approved that, right?
Or not.
Or they were like, we're just going to rip off all the IP.
We're not going to go to Garfield.
I got to say, these are pretty good ads.
I immediately want to go there.
I've only went once as a kid, and I wanted to go all the time.
That's really worked.
I never went.
You never got to go to Marine World?
Never went.
Just saw the commercials a million times.
It was just in Vallejo, according to Hassan.
Oh my God, wait, wait.
Let's just watch one second of this.
Hello again, everybody.
Bob Murphy, along with Wayne Grimdich.
We're at Marine World Africa, USA, and we're just about ready, Wayne, to see another kind of water skiing.
Right, Bob.
We had a chance to see some exciting competition in this realm of the sport, but there's another dimension to the sport, and that's show show skiing.
It's entertaining and just as well.
This is a 30-minute video.
I'll hit stop here, but
I mean,
it looks great.
This looks like a water world, practically.
In my experience of the Bay Area where the water is frigid and you would never think of doing water sports, I never heard of somebody doing water sports my entire childhood.
Did you guys?
Like, you didn't know people that went water skiing.
No, of course not.
Of course not.
Just at summer camp.
Oh, apparently, we just had to go to Ballejo, though.
That's where I was popping off.
Yeah.
Where they were all freezing their asses off and getting laced on there.
E40 and Sugar Tea and Felajit all hanging out.
Just water skiing all over the place.

Mike and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.
When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-liter jug.
When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.
Oh, come on.
They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.
Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.
Whatever.
You were made to outdo your holidays.
We were made to help organize the competition.
Expedia, made to travel.
I would, just because we mentioned my other podcast, I need to jump in with an apology because I do think there's a small handful of people who listen to both.
And I did talk about my 40x seating experience on both podcasts.
And I want to apologize for that.
Oh, are you not allowed to reuse it?
No, somebody basically just, you know, pointed out, like, hey, and I was like, yeah, you're right.
I got to pick and choose where I do it.
But Andy, I want to thank you because I did try talking about it on stage, which you recommended, and it's a lot of fun.
So good.
I'm glad.
Yeah.
And do you think that as a way to repay me, you could ask about spelling bee?
Oh, yeah.
How'd you do today, buddy?
Queen Bee, motherfucker.
Yeah,
in your fucking face.
Somebody suggested that when you tell us you got Queen Bee, we should say righteous skill.
I don't want to do that.
That's the only thing there.
Quibby's fine.
I quibbed.
Quibby's fine.
Yeah.
Indeed, there was a nice tote bag in our shared office when I went in yesterday.
Yeah.
And it was like a dark gray, and it said New York Times on one side and on the other side, it had a bunch of bees buzzing.
That's right.
And you've been wearing the hat, but it said genius.
And I immediately was like, oh, he can't wear this.
He can't tote around this tote bag.
That's right.
Because he's not.
He's a queen bee.
He's not genius.
I i appreciated the thought quite quite a bit but um i can't be walking around everyone thinking i'm fucking lowly a genius yeah so you need queen bee gear it's either it's quibby or a bust yes yes i just want to know if the new york times makes a solid one because that's the one i would like
do you think mensa do you think there are people in mensa who look down on people who just got over the line
probably
yeah right wouldn't you yeah i mean i think it's silly that there's everybody over whatever 145 And you know, if you're like rocking a 180, you're like, oh fucking hang out.
God, I really like the idea of a t-shirt or a sweatshirt that just says solid in the font.
I'm, if they don't make it, I'll make it.
Don't worry.
Nice.
I mean, today was no slouch, Seth.
There was micro form, there was micro mini.
Micro form was the one I missed.
It would be really awesome.
I mean, Yorm, it should be solid and it should also be like three words on the top that you got, and it's all like cake.
It's like a bunch of four-letter words.
Make,
rake.
I'll work on it, Seth.
You know, I will.
Make, make,
I'm done.
I'm done.
Solid.
Salad.
Salad.
Boy, we are doing everything we can to not talk about this short.
We just watched it.
I mean, look, I watched it right before, and my opinion is I don't want to talk about it because I had nothing to do with it, so I don't want to speak out of turn.
I can just tell you what it is, but I don't actually remember any details of it.
I have not re-watched it.
I was hoping hoping there was going to be there's a little bit of some turnage in it towards the end but it's a lot of style yeah more burnage than turnage as you like to say wait can i can i ask just one question what's the name of the short that we're talking about it's in our text chain it's brenda and sean oh i do not remember this
no no so this was because we had such a great time with body fusion yeah
and that was it's drew barrymore she was like we got to do another body fusion like what is there and i was was like, That came from Polar.
I just put style on it.
I was like, I don't really have one, but I was kind of like, Let's go room to room and see if people have something.
Yeah, because it hadn't come from us.
I was just kind of open, and I love body fusion too.
We've talked about it, yeah.
Um, so I was really happy to do another body fusion thing.
And we went around trying to find something to body fusion.
And at a certain point, I don't know if it had gone to the table at some point, or if it was just something rattling around, Fred had this bit he would do as a magician, which is funny.
Yeah, and we were just like, oh, could we turn that into something?
And so that's where this came from.
Wait, is this worth a like a watch?
Have we ever watched like one that we don't remember?
Yeah, let's just watch that.
Yeah, if you guys should see it.
I did watch it, so it's going to be hell for me, but okay.
Just try to audibly groan.
I mean, it's on YouTube.
That's a good sign.
You know, it didn't get shelved.
76,000 views.
Hi, we're Brenda and Sean.
Are you looking for entertainment for your party?
Let us post it.
Well, it wasn't posted when it came out.
It was posted well after it came out.
It's been 11 years ago.
Yeah.
76,000 views.
That's like 7,000 a year, Sass.
That's pretty good.
That's not bad.
I'm embarrassed that I'm sort of impressed with the magic.
Graduation.
Engagements.
Okay, so just pause real quick.
So Brenda and Sean seem to have one move.
Yeah,
that's me.
Which is sort of throwing this little,
what do you even call them, your?
It's the light-up thumbs that anyone can use.
All you do is press them.
It's the light up thumbs that make it seem like you have like a little fairy in your hand or something.
Yeah.
A little glowing bit of energy.
Yeah.
It's like your E.T.
So it's, you know, it has that body fusion old retro.
I mean, by the way, it looks like Marine World Africa USA.
It does look exactly that.
It's shot like an ad from that.
And they're just showing up at different places, graduations, but it does seem like they're showing up maybe uninvited.
And now they're showing up at an engagement.
I mean, their outfits and looks,
hair, everything are great.
They're being tolerated.
Yeah.
This guy, one of the most used extras in SNL history.
Yeah.
Medical emergencies.
Bobby's got a head injury on a bike.
He's less enamored with their arrival.
Meeting your biological father.
He's my fave.
I like how much Drew looks like she's having a ball.
Bankruptcies.
Oh, they're the ones going bankrupt.
Yeah.
By far, my favorite shot in the whole thing.
Fred is struggling with the books because they're going bankrupt.
And it pushes in on him and he's got a pen in his hand and he puts his hand against his head because he's so stressed out and the little light on his thumb lights out.
Yeah.
Not as part of an illusion.
No, just out of stress.
That to me is the whole deal, right?
His mind is on something else now.
Yeah.
Life choices.
He just lets it kind of go.
Eviction.
Getting evicted there, and Drew is still selling the energy.
Yeah.
And Lutz is the landlord.
Oh, no.
Now they crow, I guess.
Pigeon.
Making new friends.
Got it.
They're like busking and getting arrested.
Road trips.
That shot made me laugh too.
Them still doing the bit in the back of the cop car.
We're Brenda and Sean, and we are available.
Let us light up your life.
Not bad.
I mean, it tells a little story.
It goes somewhere.
Eve, they get.
Akiva.
They get a break.
Akiva.
Akiva.
Akiva.
Seth, can I?
Can I?
Yeah.
So when they're eating the crow, is that just like a super clever metaphor about how they thought their business was going to work, but it didn't, and now they're eating crow?
You got to tell us.
Yeah, do you you remember?
I think it was just probably a pigeon, and it just looks like a crow.
I don't know.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Thanks.
I love your blog, by the way.
Thank you so much for having me.
Thank you so much.
Oh, man.
They only gave me one question, so I got to go.
Yeah, it's my time.
Pretty sure I thought I was for sure spot on with that one, but.
All right.
So I'll see you in the lobby.
So is that you rent a cop car, Keeve?
God, I have no memory of any of this.
I don't remember shooting that at all.
I think a bunch of our security guards at SNL were part-time police and could call somebody.
Wave one down.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
I think they probably pay them a little bit the way that when you do like a movie and you're shooting on a street, you always have tons of real cops with you.
So it's the way Lauren does with the SNL Cast.
He pays them a little bit.
Exactly.
He's got the NYPD on the payroll.
That's what I'm saying.
But the police are used to being paid by entertainment in a real way because they have to provide security when you're doing stuff.
It makes it sound like what you're talking about is illegal, though.
Keith.
I know, but I don't think it's weird at all.
It's like approved by the city.
Hey, guys.
Yeah.
The strokes famously said, New York City cops, they're not that smart.
Agree?
Oh, wow.
I don't know if that's what this podcast is for.
It's so hot.
It's the temperature is very hot.
You know, it just makes you feel like a real wack-a-doodle.
It is 96.
Yeah, out here.
You guys are really jaded, and so you probably don't give a shit.
But you know what?
I'm going to make you look out the window.
Fuck, I bet if I do, this is going to...
Look.
You're going to look out the window and see what's going on.
Slay where you say.
Space Needle.
Oh, you're in Seattle.
Seattle.
I'm in Seattle.
That's nice.
It is nice.
You have a show tonight?
Hey, Seth.
I have a show tonight.
Been to any grunge shows?
I'm doing grunge, yeah.
Had any good Java?
I've had some Java, and tonight I'm going to do my first grunge show.
By the way.
Seattle does have fucking incredible coffee.
Seattle's best.
I had some really good sushi today for lunch.
You had some good sushi?
sushi, sure.
Probably go down to Pike's Place and watch it.
Throw the fish around.
Throw the fish around.
Wait, did we already talk about that?
We went to during the hot rod press.
We went to a Mariners game and when they hit a home run, it said Funk Blast.
Did we cover that on the Hot Rod episode?
I don't know if we did.
Well, didn't we talk about the failed sketch funk blast or did we not talk about it?
Maybe it was later.
Blast.
Funk blast.
They would say it up there.
We were on the, I think we talked about it.
We were like, that can't be right.
We were on the hot rod promo trail.
They're like, hey, today you get to go to a Mariner's game.
We're like, hell yes.
And we're just sitting there and someone hits home running up huge up on the screen.
And we're like, wait, is everybody else seeing this?
They're like, is this a bitch?
And everyone's like, yeah, fuck black.
Like, this is the major league baseball.
We all have kind of a common group of words.
And like, we all kind of know what the main things are that we say about them.
These games are nationally televised a lot.
We are not going to some weird podunk.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's pretty exciting.
You could go see a funk boss.
What would you describe as podunk on the record?
Just asking a question.
Jeeps, guys.
He's really trying to get some of those frisbee clicks.
I'm feeding for the clicks.
Now that this frisbee thing hit, I'm just addicted to the clicks.
Put them in my veins.
Push them in my chest.
Wait,
somebody's prime.
Push the clicks into my chest.
Push the clicks into my chest.
Who could text somebody, the Zoom link?
No information right now and get somebody to get on the pod.
I will say people a lot of good feedback.
People did like the Jonah pop in and the Stephanie.
Yeah, that's what you want.
We should start cold texting a Zoom link with no context to one person at the beginning of each pod and
see if anyone clicks.
Yeah.
Anything else to say about Brendan and Sean?
I asked Lutz.
I sent him just a picture of just him.
Okay.
I said, give me a voice note.
Tell me what you think this is from.
Do you think he remembers?
Yes.
No.
Yoran, what do you think?
No, I don't.
Hi, Lonely Islands.
This is John Lutz.
Always plural.
Your favorite extra in every one of your digital shorts.
I think that this is a still
of me from a digital short with Drew Barrymore
and Fred Armason, who were magicians who had little tiny
dots on their fingers, the little light things that you do with your thumb that they just thought was really cool, I guess.
That is all that I remember of the digital short.
I don't know if that's the right one, but I think I was like a super at an apartment building, and they were doing the lights in front of us, and we were supposed to look like it was not cool.
I hope I'm right, and I don't know what I win if I get it right, but I hope it's something good.
A signed copy of a DVD of the naked gun movie.
Do they make those anymore?
Okay, goodbye, Lonely Islands.
Well, what he won is my failure to guess correctly.
Yeah.
That he would be.
For your respect, I guess.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My respect.
And he didn't remember the name, Brenda and Sean.
So in my opinion, he failed.
Yeah.
I'm not going to give him full credit or anything.
Oh, good.
So I'm not totally demoralized.
You know, every comment under Brenda and Sean is very positive saying it's underrated.
And I will say that me, I thought it was going to be dog shit.
And compared to some dog shit ones we play, it actually at least holds together and has an arc.
It's super charming.
I mean,
it's Fred doing a bit.
There's never going to be anything.
Oh, and it's nice and tight and tells a little story.
No, but that's the least we've ever talked about.
A short.
That's what I mean.
I just want to go on the record saying that I was pleasantly surprised.
Yeah, we're not running from it.
We just don't have much to add.
Guys, hit us in the titties.
Do we over or underrate Brenda and Sean?
And you know what?
Let's see if we can get it over 76,000 by the end of the year.
That's what it's at now.
Okay, see if we can get it to 77,000 by the next five years.
I will say, seeing how much Drew seemed to really enjoy doing that, I found it very charming.
She's selling it.
Andy, we have some people who wrote in with some questions and also just some information, including that Andy Sandbring's stuntman suit from Hot Rod is up for auction.
Ooh.
Do you have a link for that?
I do.
Hold on.
I'm going to put it in the chat.
How much are we talking?
It opens at $1,500.
Better than I was expecting.
But is that Jorm's bid?
I did bid on the Miata when we were selling that, but I lost that one.
The McGrouter Miata?
Well, because I wanted to make it into a stock racing car and then have him go around and race other Miatas and then come in dead last every time, like just really slowly creep around the drive.
I like to think about Jorm bidding on the hot rod outfit and winning it and then having like a video of himself in the mirror being like, this time you're rock.
This time you're right.
You're in charge and he's a fan of you.
He's Kevin.
He's Kevin and he's going to give you a present.
Oh my, oh, it's your leather suit at the end.
It's your Evil Knievel suit.
Oh, dude, that should be higher than, I mean, leather.
Wait, is it the leather one from the end?
Yeah, that's awesome.
That's a good, uh, that's a memorabilia.
What do you think about leather, you guys?
I mean, just ask questions here, but I'd like to be surprised.
Rod was gifted the suit by his trusty pit crew in advance of the climactic moment.
You're going to look like a champion, Tacone's Kevin tells Rod in the scene as he gives his half-brother.
That's my favorite line that I got to say in the movie, you guys.
Tacone called it my favorite line of my lines in the movie, noting the whack earnestness of the line.
That's a quote from this podcast.
As I was saying it, again,
I like
it's, I mean, it's tough to beat cool beans.
Yeah.
I mean, to beat cool beans out of nowhere for a favorite line.
Per the auction's estimates, the item is expected to fetch between $3,000 and $6,000, a small fraction of the $50,000 heart transplant Frank needed.
Oh, I really love this write-up.
I agree.
It's a good copy.
Thank you, whoever wrote that.
When does it go up?
September 4th.
All right.
So for anybody listening to this, screenbeat.substack.com is who wrote this article.
Screenbeat.com, Substack.
Like, if you need to Google this, Andy Sandverstum Insu from Hot Rod is up for auction.
That's the headline.
And then what's the link?
What's the place doing it?
I want to give the Quads a chance to spend more than $6,000 on it.
No, but
a chance.
Wait, wait.
How do you find this stuff?
Like, because honestly, occasionally you find stuff that you send us that I'm like, how do you get this?
Like, how did I find that?
Oh, you found this.
No, so one of the Quaid armies found it and sent it to us.
Okay, that explains that.
Thank you, Seth.
So, propstoreauction.com is the website that sells props.
And this is kind of cool.
Like, for example, Jorm, I didn't find out that there's a town in Germany called Quadsberg, but there is.
And now we know that.
It's got all kinds of cool shit.
Yorm, you can get a single storyboard from 1991's film Hook.
How much, though?
Andy, I want to tell you something because I was very proud of myself.
Because, again, I did not remember Brendan Sean at all.
Yeah.
But I looked at this run-through and I remembered something about your weekend update feature.
You played Scrooge McDuck.
Do you remember playing Scrooge McDuck?
I remember playing Scrooge and I don't remember what the joke was.
The joke is kind of all over the place.
Great.
It's basically definitely, we're writing jokes about a financial crisis and you're really happy you invested in gold.
But then there's that really nice second half of it.
You wrote it with Simon Rich.
The second half is that because you swim around in gold coins, they're really dirty, and you have an infection.
And the level of the infection is you weren't born a duck.
Oh my God, that's a good joke.
That's a really good joke.
Yeah.
And then you go into a lot of like, and trust me, they can't reverse it because you've got the money for healthcare.
It's really good.
However, I'm so proud of myself because I remember something crushed at dress and then didn't at air.
So I had Kevin send me dress as well.
At dress, you say your three keys to investing is collect gold coins, put them in a big pile, and then go swimming in it.
Yeah.
Applause break.
Air, nothing.
And you go, why?
You're wearing a dumb beak and glasses.
Do you have both?
Do you have that clip handy?
I have both.
I have both.
Seth, my investment strategy has always been very simple.
Step one: convert all money into gold coins.
Step two, put all the coins into a pile.
Step three,
swim around in those coins.
Oh my god, applause break.
Oh my god, yeah, they loved it.
And you're real happy.
Yeah.
Let's just say you're real happy.
Flip some coins.
I'm like, it worked.
Oh my god.
I'd like to see this.
Seth, my investment strategy has always been very simple.
Step one, convert all money into gold coins.
Step two, put all the coins into a pile.
Step three, swim around in those coins.
That's your whole strategy.
What does your accountant think about that?
He's always...
It didn't die, die.
It didn't die die.
But you can tell, because you give the quietest, like...
Yeah.
Yeah, I can definitely read Andy's face.
You got a few applause, and the run-up is the same.
The like little laughs at each thing going to it, so you really think you're on the same ride.
I have to show you because I sent this to Solomon and Forte.
There was a Hamilton in this episode.
Oh, no.
Hamilton gets the weirdest recognition applause, which is maybe two people.
And one of them just does like.
So, just at the entrance here.
Yeah, we've all been there.
You know,
oh, I sure do.
Any other questions?
I have a question.
Hamilton.
Another attempt at clapping.
Oh no.
By the way, the rest of the sketch picks up Steam.
No, but it's somebody who wanted to clap of being like, oh, we're all going to clap because we know the character.
It's weird to clap for him because he's the most detestable character.
Yeah.
So I feel like people get caught in the middle.
There's a great line in that Hamilton where he's trying to win back back Drew Barrymore.
They were former lovers.
Look, there are so many things that you would have to change.
I don't know where to start.
Start towards the end.
Yeah.
That's really good.
Support comes from Veori.
Hey, everybody, it's Seth here.
And the rest of the Lonely Island couldn't be here for this ad read because they're currently at the gym just rocking out in their new Veori gear.
You guys, because it's stylish enough for gym, which is very important to the Lonely Island, but also for brunch afterwards.
And you know, those guys love brunch.
It works anywhere.
Unlike other workout brands that only look right in the gym, it combines comfort and style.
No trade-off between the two.
And you know, Yorma especially would not ever settle for trade-off.
And you know, those dudes are probably on a long flight right now, and they're probably talking about how happy it is that their Viore doesn't pinch or bunch up.
They were telling me it's like basically their travel uniform.

NordVPN keeps you safe online with next-generation encryption and threat protection that blocks malware, trackers, and intrusive ads.

Oh, yeah, that's totally right.
And, you know, Jorma's telling me that when he's on the road, you know, in some random hotel or, you know, airport, when he uses their Wi-Fi, you know, that's when he could get snooped on, right?
People could look at, you know, maybe the script for Magruber 2 that he's working on because they would want that box office gold.
Isn't that right, Jorm?
Oh, yeah, totally.

Um, Seth.
Yes.
There's a sketch in the rundown that aired
that I wrote with Rob Klein and Merica Sawyer called Cooking Alfresco.
Yes.
Do you remember it?
I'm going to say attacked by birds.
Yeah.
It's a cooking show.
We're trying it on the roof.
Birds immediately attack us and start eating the food.
I think it played pretty good.
There's one moment in it that I remember I found very, very funny.
Something a little safer, marinara sauce.
Good idea.
Marinara sauce.
Now, a lot of the jars that marinara sauce.
They're dipping the bread in the sauce.
There it is.
Oh,
super good.
They got a real scoop.
Keith.
Keith's cutting a cooking alfrasco.
We'll be right back.
They're dipping the bread in the sauce, I remember being pretty happy about.
You and Klein often wrote things that would get interrupted by a title card that said technical difficulties.
Yes.
Yes.
Things would often go haywire and then you'd have to cut away.
Uh, I asked Klein less than a minute ago for a voice note about cooking al fresco.
I don't know what this is.
Let's see.
Okay, cooking alfresco really fast.
That was a fun one.
Only memory.
At the end of the sketch, there's a dead skeleton that drops on the table.
At one point during rehearsal, it fell out of nowhere and almost killed Drew Barrymore.
And they had to practice.
They could never get it to land on the table.
Practiced it dropping it like 20 times, did it at dress, fell off the table, did it at air.
I think it stayed on the table.
Thanks, Rob.
Fred Armison just joined our podcast.
I like to surprise everyone on this podcast, including our specials.
Yeah, I was going to say, it seems a lot like Yorma sent him the link as a goof.
Hi, Fred.
Hey, what's going on?
Fred, did you pull a car over?
I pulled over.
Good.
Yeah, that's good for you.
And everybody out there, let that be a lesson to you.
Fred, what do you remember?
You and Drew Barrymore, digital short called Brenda and Sean.
Oh, that was because we had these toys that were like for magic tricks.
I don't even, whose were they originally?
Were they Akivas or somebody?
It's like, or Yormas.
It's like, if you press the thumb, it lights up red.
We just watched it, so we know exactly what you're talking about.
Okay, okay.
So I don't remember how we got them, but the whole ski was based on that's their magic trick.
That's their, that's what we can do.
And that was it.
That was like the main part of the whole thing.
Yeah.
It's small, but it's accomplishing what it's setting out to.
It tells a little story.
Do you remember what happens in it after?
No, I don't remember what happened.
It's an ad for them selling this as like, we're magicians, hire us for your things.
Okay.
And as it goes on, the things go from being normal ones to being more
parts of their lives.
So it tells a little story.
It was better than
you thought.
But, you know, the Quaid army is going to weigh in on if it was actually better than we thought so I don't want to put words in their mouth but I'm kind of more surprised that those thumb things didn't take off as a as a product as merchandise you know like why have they disappeared they exist my son just got some and I will say they're pretty fun yeah they just need kids around to have them I don't think they were ours in the office there is that thing Fred when you work on the 17th floor at SNL like you see a lot of stuff that you just stop seeing when you stop working at SNL that's true where did all the rubber chickens go There used to be rubber chickens in every room I'd walk into.
Do you, I feel like there's not giant baskets of freshly made popcorn everywhere I go.
I remember there were like Hulk fists
that made the rounds.
You know, like gigantic.
Those worked their way.
Well, and Horatio's Jazzy that Ozzy Osborne, rest in peace, rest in peace, gave him.
Well, anything there was clearly made it into one of our shorts at some point.
It's why people send free stuff because they'd be like, maybe it'll end up on the show.
Yeah, we were always just like, immediately, we'll put it in.
What was the one we just did?
It was, oh, the Transformers mask.
Fred, do you ever remember crushing a dress and then having it die at air and in the moment wondering what happened?
Oh, of course.
Like, yeah, that happened.
Whenever that happened, I feel like I always blamed something else.
Like, oh, the sound wasn't good or something.
Something that, like, you remember the story?
Can you tell a story about the, remember the Roomba that didn't work at air and what the crew guy told you?
The Roomba?
You had like, you had an apartment that was all voice activated.
Like, you would say, like, turn on music.
And this was very.
Yes, yes.
I remember this one.
And that was Megan Malali, I think, right?
Yeah.
That's an early one.
And it was like, yes, like lights on, music on.
And what happened with the Roomba?
That's right.
Like, it didn't work.
It didn't work, but then a guy came up to you after it.
It crushed a dress and then it didn't move at air.
And then a guy came up to you and said, Hey, sorry about that, Freddie.
We forgot to turn it on.
Oh,
that's so honest.
I like it.
Yeah, it's much better.
Good.
Forgot to turn it on.
I know you're out there in front of millions of people and you completely ate shit.
You're pretty new on the show and it might completely sink you, but what are you going to do?
We did figure it out.
We did pin down what went wrong.
Seth, what was your memory when that happened?
Like something crushed at dress and died in air.
Did you?
I was so...
I was the most nervous when something had crushed a dress.
And I feel like back when I was in the sketches, like I was tight to a place where I could never hit the heights of like the like all the joy went out of it because I was like, just hold serve.
But we've talked about on this pod how sometimes our shorts would play different address and air and they'd be the same edit.
Yeah.
And that was a real proof of, that was like the way to prove it's not us, it's them, the audience being different.
Yes.
That way we could decidedly walk into the writer's room and go, this audience sucks.
Yeah, exactly.
I remember that.
Yeah.
It's official.
You always
almost opened always with its official.
Fred, where are you?
Yeah, where are you driving?
I'm in LA.
You can give the exact address.
You won't be there by the time this airs.
It's not going to air.
I'm on Riverside Boulevard.
Oh, like Burbank, Talukalay.
Ah, the Californians.
He's doing his bit, you guys.
He's going to do it.
Heading over to the five.
Yeah.
Nice.
No, I'm just driving around because this time of year, it's so pretty.
So I'm just looking at the trees and
it's just like as the season changes, like it's just, it's subtle, but so beautiful.
Yeah.
And like sort of like all the cherry blossoms and the sort of using that as a
yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It's sort of like an analogy for all of life and existence.
Just marking the passage of time.
Yeah.
Yes.
I love it.
So I just spend the rest of the day doing that.
All right.
And how's that big old hog doing, man?
I got you.
i got you dude i got you i got you friend oh my god dude you shouldn't have called in this is one of those clickbait casts brother i need them clicks damn it this is such a new character brandy i knew i i actually did not know what this was gonna be and yorma was just like hop on real quick
i know what this was that was the challenge i'm sorry this is my new bit this is my new character is that i attack people uh friends of ours your new character
yeah
You're in your color.
Color, go ahead.
Hey, Fred, you have anything you need to promote Wednesday?
Oh, yeah, please.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it.
You're coming off as desperate.
Just bring it back, dial it back, and keep going.
Please.
Please.
Please, sirs and madams,
if you could find it in your heart.
Like, even just leave it on.
Even if you don't watch it,
we're asking you.
Just watch
Wednesday.
Yeah, it's good.
We don't ask for much.
Please.
To this day, Alexi, who I think maybe her favorite thing she ever saw in SNL was you and Wig doing Garth and Cat.
Sometimes she will just, at some point, will go, please, Mr.
Miners.
Oh, that's so good.
The fact that you guys call me Mr.
Miners.
Please, sir.
What else did you guys talk about in this?
Like, what were the other, or was it just that Drew Barrymore one?
We talked a little bit about Drew Barrymore.
Andy played Scrooge McDuck, ate shit on air.
It didn't really.
Pretty good Scottish accent, though.
Pretty good Scottish accent.
Also, Andy was really, you know, back, this is back in the day where it was shocking to see somebody with a beak on weekend update.
Yeah.
Now it's basically.
Requisite.
Yeah, it's requisite.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you know who's in heaven?
Me watching it.
Oh, I think you were going to say Frisbee.
You thought I was going to go negative, Keith.
I really did.
I thought you were going to say Frisbee because we talked about Seth's dog dying.
When they go low, I go clicks.
This guy's all about the clicks.
We actually spent most of this talking about Frisbee.
Sorry, Fred, I'm walking on air because Seth's dog died.
So I'm feeling super juiced this week, dude.
Oh, Seth, I'm so sorry.
Thanks, bud.
It's okay.
No, I mean, obviously it's sad.
It's not okay.
No, it isn't.
Take time to process it, Seth.
You don't have to just brush it off.
I don't accept it.
Death isn't something you should accept.
Oh, interesting take.
Very American.
Yeah, maybe you should go drive around, Seth.
You know what I mean?
Just think about the passage of time and the blossoms.
You think it's like the one stage of grief and it's just denial.
Yes.
Stay in denial.
Always stay in denial.
First stage, that's it.
There's only one stage of grief.
Pull up a chair and stay.
Now that's a therapist I'd like to see.
Fred, be the one-step only denial therapist for Yorm.
Yorm, go.
Sorry, not Yorm.
Seth.
Oh, you're the one whose ugly dog died.
All right, Seth.
Seth, sorry, Seth.
Yorm, butt out.
I just, look, my dog died, and I just, she was such a huge part of my life.
And it's just like, there's this real hole right now, you know?
Unacceptable.
Did your dog die?
I don't think so.
Well, unacceptable.
This is unacceptable.
Yeah, but I don't see.
I mean, she's not.
I can't physically see her.
No.
Stay in denial.
Stay, Seth.
Stay with me.
There's a lot of people you can't physically see right now.
You don't know what they're doing.
Yeah, exactly.
Are you saying she just might be elsewhere?
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
I think that's the most likely thing is what this therapist is saying.
Gotcha.
That's a more advanced denial than I was expecting, actually.
Yeah, it almost on it, it did kind of start making me sad.
I already know.
And if people ask you, Seth, you've got to be like, nope.
Yeah.
No, she didn't.
I don't know.
What do you, if you see, if your kid seems sad, just be like, what are you sad about?
No, she just left.
I wish I had a soundboard right now, and every time a car went by, I could just play a horn like Fred had stopped in the middle of the road.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
And then every fifth person recognizes them.
All right!
Sorry, I'm on the 405.
Ah, California!
Sitting down Kuwanga Boulevard.
Oh, come on, I'm loving this.
For real.
What part of Riverside?
Hun on.
Where did you drive from?
I drove from rehearsal with the Go-Go's.
That's cool.
Playing a benefit tomorrow, and we practiced today, and it was was really fun.
This won't come out till after that happens.
What's the song?
Oh, it's like eight songs.
It's a whole bunch of songs.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
What's your favorite one?
There's a song called Head Over Heels.
It sounds great.
Awesome.
This is a live concert somewhere?
Live concert.
Yeah.
And you're we need a surprise guest?
I don't think it's a surprise.
Their bass player lives in England, so I'm just playing bass for it.
Oh, you're playing bass.
And this is pro-fracking fundraiser?
Pro-fracking.
But gentle pro-fracking, not like...
In your face.
We're pro-fracking.
Just like, just like, hey, FYI, we're kind of pro-fracking.
Let's move on from the conversation.
Yeah.
Just listen to somebody.
Enjoy the tunes.
Just nice and gentle.
I think I know that song, actually, Fred.
It's something
happened and I'm head of a green.
That's the one.
That's the go-go's, right?
Yeah.
Are we making you late for something right now, Fred?
Like, what do you want?
No, he's just checking out the foliage.
Okay, he's told us.
It's going from like green to like light brown, which is so funny.
Oh, currently.
Yeah, like just a little off-green.
What temperature does your dashboard say it is right now?
It is,
no joke, 94 degrees.
Yep.
Yeah, proof.
I bet we're going to be all right, though.
I think it's all going to go fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where are you guys?
We're around.
Anaheim.
Yeah, we're all in Anaheim.
Separate rooms.
We're at the Honda Center because
we're playing the triangle for the
B-52s.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Isn't it wild?
Seriously, not as a bit.
Isn't it wild that none of us moved to Anaheim?
Like after SNL.
Not as a bit?
It's so wild.
Disneyland there and stuff.
Like none of us were like, oh, we're all going to end up in Anaheim.
Yeah.
Right.
If you had to say somebody moved to Anaheim, I would say Bobby Moynihan because it was closer to Disney.
Is he a full Disney adult, though, or just...
I don't think so, but he would, if I had to put my money on one.
Yeah.
Because that's Star Wars part of Disneyland now.
Yeah.
Which is pretty incredible, by the way.
Not to like jock the mouse.
mouse.
This guy's always jacking the mouse.
Oh, you caught me jacking the mouse again.
Man.
Anyway, hit us in the tittis.
Does jock and the mouse have legs?
Yeah.
I think that's going to come back.
Give it a clayox, patch.
Thanks for calling in, Fred.
We really love seeing you.
Yeah, I love you, buddy.
Yeah, be careful out there on those roads.
I miss you.
It's great to see you.
I'll hop on back in a minute.
I'll talk to you.
Great.
Thank you.
It's perfect.
This is getting closer to Joram's dream of like a morning radio show.
Yeah.
People call in.
Boar.
We're talking about the commute.
Yeah.
Color, go ahead.
Oh, color.
Don't drive off a cliff.
Color.
The four shock jocks is coming in.
Bye, Fred.
Love you, buddy.
Bye, Freddy.
Bye, Fred.
He's not going to get off.
He's just going to keep doing it.
At least they're driving and just ignore the fun.
Oh, no, that he did come.
He might have just turned off his camera.
Damn it.
Oh, man.
I think he's going to hop back on at some point.
Well, guys, what can I say?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, is there a Seth's corner?
No, it was kind of uh, but I will say, you know, what's a great sketch?
First time there was no Seth's corner this week.
Seth was hella lazy and he didn't do anything.
Don't take it away, Seth.
I mean, I'm sure he did a couple things just now.
We're talking about it.
You have your name on the pulled open.
All right.
Yeah.
So, but he's not proud of it, guys.
Don't force the issue.
He's trying to ditch out.
I've got Larry King with his name.
I mean, he's all over this.
Yeah.
I mean, there's probably offensive material in it that he'd rather cite.
Also, Davini talks to Vinny Vedici.
Yeah, I watched Vinny.
It's a fun Vinnie Vedic.
By the the way, I also, just weird timing, just watched E.T.
with my boys for the first time.
Drewberry and we're so insanely good.
Oh, E.T.
Yeah, and did you know that she's actually a kid in that?
It's nuts.
It's Nazi GI.
That was her age.
Yeah.
She was like 10.
They didn't deep fake a babyface.
I'm sure a million podcasts that do refuse.
You just said it's Nazi GI.
It's a soldier, a Nazi soldier.
That's what you said.
Nazi GI.
Yes.
Yeah, that's what the AI thinks you said.
Oh, I got you.
Hit us in the titties.
Guys, what do you think, Seth?
Yeah, it's Nazi GI.
And you're like, whoa, like, you think that's good?
Anyway, I'm walking on air.
Frisbee Girl.
Woohoo!
Oh man, I got to do a tribute on your show, Seth.
I don't know when.
I don't know when.
You're dark right now.
Your show's dark, so it's hurting my tribute, but I don't have anything prepared, so it's good.
Yes, it's called morning.
It's not called the show's dark.
It's called we're in morning.
Oh, is that why?
Yeah.
NBC asked us to take time off to heal.
A pitch, a pitch.
Maybe the I'll be missing you performance, but you do the Diddy version and dress like Diddy?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Really good idea.
Okay.
Hey, you want to clickbait?
Fucking coming up.
Let's see how this line that Andy could walk is like, yo, I'm so likable.
I'm going to make fun of Seth's dead dog.
Nobody's going to blame me.
I'm going to do it as Diddy.
I'm going to do it as Diddy.
Wait, I was going to say, hey,
look, I know a million people do like movie recaps and have probably talked about this.
Yeah.
End of ET.
Yes.
Just like there's a lot of like, I feel like they're not locking down the site particularly well.
Oh, I'd have to rewatch.
Like, you know, the feds.
Yeah.
Like, it just seems like it's way too easy.
Well, but aren't they, aren't they more like scientist feds?
You know what I mean?
Like they're, they're not used to this.
There's a lot of guys
with like guns and stuff chasing them around in their BMX bikes.
But they like fully just like kind of get into a van.
It's like a white van that's got ET in the back of it and feels like there's not a lot of security.
Well, you don't expect kids to drive.
That's that's the did your kids like it and were they scared and were they sad?
Super scared for the first 45 minutes, then loved it and not sad.
Grossed out by E.T.
or just loved him?
Grossed out in the beginning?
Loved him.
I think more scared than grossed out, but like the minute the Andy and I took a very iconic photo of he and I, Elliot and E.T.
once.
Oh, yeah, and the bike iconic to us for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When the bikes take off, the kids were just over the moon.
No, but what about the part in the ravine, Seth, when they find the like, he's almost like a body in the ravine when you look down.
That's terrifying to me.
They were mostly scared of him being scary.
They weren't, and much like Frisbee, they didn't really mind when they thought he was dead.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
I've tried maybe once a year to get my kids to watch it.
They take one look at ET and go, nope.
Yeah, I get it.
This episode has the first ESPN classic, Pute Twinkle and Greg Stink.
And really, really fantastic.
Multiple, multiple games, and it's an exceptional piece of writing.
Turned into one of the strongest recurrings of our entire and golden era, right?
Very much so.
Yes, was always very good.
Yeah.
Just crushed every time, and was like broad audience and comedians loved it.
Yes.
I mean, it was ESB and classic.
It also felt like Marine World, USA Africa, one of those ads.
The game of one, there was an inappropriate sponsor that Sudakis kept doing tags for.
Uh-huh.
First of all, Pete Twinkle, Greg Stink, like pinnacle names.
Twinkle and stink.
Forte's full-on idiot.
Yeah.
But like the most affable idiot.
The smile without the eyes.
First time it was billiards, it was lady billiards.
Right.
And about halfway through, he goes, Yeah, real quick, can you tell me what are the rules of billiards?
And he's also, Tampax is the sponsor.
And at some point, Greg, sorry, Pete Twinkle says, What's the strategy?
What's the strategy here, Greg?
Oh, it's just to sponsor an event, get the product name out there, and corner that tampon market.
It's a lot of him taking Sudakis literally.
It's wonderful.
Get your name out there.
Also,
really great names throughout.
Drew Barrymore, her name is Nina Wilkes Booth.
And is this just Will and Jason?
Is there some Solomon?
Who else is involved?
I think Solomon.
Well, if this is accurate on here, it's Sudakis is the first name, then Lutz, then Forte Solomon.
But sometimes these are inaccurate because they're a little old.
Okay, Lutz, too.
They were all, there was, I will say, that was, that was some real grindhouse.
When those guys were working on that, it was not fun to walk in the room, and it was exceptionally fun to listen to it when it was done.
Oh, interesting.
One of those 10-hour joints.
And for anyone who doesn't remember, Lutz sent in that voice note earlier that was just so funny.
Yeah.
It was very succinct and good.
Call us Lonely Islands.
Hamilton is so dark.
This is the darkest Hamilton.
And at some point, he's trying to convince Drew Barry Moore to take him back.
And she said, Will you get rid of your Hummer?
And he said, I already did.
I replaced it with a bigger Hummer.
And then she says, Will you get rid of your bayonets?
And he says, I will bury them in the chests of my enemies.
Yeah, so dark.
And you were like, I want that guy to speak at my wedding.
And I wasn't wrong.
No, you weren't wrong.
No, you weren't wrong.
It's all time.
And then I ripped you off.
It's the weirdest case of a recurring character's best performance being at two weddings after he was off the show.
Well, lucky us.
Lucky us.
Hey, I'm going to finish with one last thing.
A lot of people said my read on the pistachio ad sucked.
And I'm sorry.
I have no memory of it, but I'm sure it did.
And I think it might be out of the rotation.
And to the pistachio people, you know, make a better effort next time out.
Damn, comments on ads.
Guys, my show is as an outdoor show at a zoo tonight.
Oh, good.
And we'll see.
We'll see if it's any Marine World Africa USA level.
I hope it is.
It's a real risk doing an outdoor show.
You got to imagine if things don't go well, the monkeys are going to throw shit at you.
You got to imagine.
That you were hoping I was going to bring that up, right?
I mean, I had a real moment where I'm like, am I really going to get off the pod and not tell Andy I'm doing a zoo show?
God damn.
I wish you had started with that.
We never would have stopped.
We also talked about a zoo for so long.
There were so many options for a segue.
I just, you know, I really wanted to get to Brenda and Sean.
That's what our listeners were here for.
Oh, a lot of people are going to click on this app.
Brenda and Sean.
Yes, please.
I love you guys.
Hey, love you too, Seth.
Love you, buddies.
All right.
Love you.
Well, you guys.
Later, Arnold.
Later, Quaids.
