Motherlover

It's the lonely

island and Sant Myers podcast.

I started recording, by the way, guys, just in case, because I'm coming in hot.

Because I'm coming in hot.

I'm trying to think of a good anecdote.

Love that Mother Lover was a great short and uh,

I'm panicking.

Ah, I'm coming in hot.

Andy, Andy, you failed me in on a detail about your day that maybe the other gentleman would like to know.

I think they could probably guess.

Oh, you beat?

You beat on the birth of our nation?

I got a 4th of July B, and it was no slouch either, I'll tell you that.

Yeah, it was a long time.

What does that mean?

There's a lot of words.

Oh, God.

61 words, over 400 points, Jorm.

Four pangrams.

It was an insane clean B that I got today.

It felt great.

I also got

Letterboxton 2.

So I'm feeling, honestly, like I'm walking on fucking air.

Feeling really good.

That's the first time that I've heard that word said out loud.

Pan.

Do you hear pangrams?

Pangram?

Yeah, pangram.

It's when you use all the letters.

No, I've played the game, Seth.

I have played the game.

How did you think you would say it?

I never said it out loud.

So in my mind, it was panagram or like

you were just adding a word.

You were adding a letter that wasn't in it.

Yeah.

Because I would say pangram is a definition of pronounced like it's spelled.

No, yeah, I just never looked at the word really.

But this is the.

Worms just so like entrenched in the bananagram culture.

Right, right, right.

That's true.

I'm more of a bananagram guy.

I think that somewhere was creeping into his subconscious.

Hey, somebody wrote in, Andy, that would a good slang for if you queen beed, because, you know, you often obviously have to say I queen beed.

Thanks for saying that.

Would a slang be I quibbied?

At least something could come out of Quibbed.

Oh, hell yeah.

I almost feel like it's blasphemous not to from this point forward.

At least something eternal could come out of Quibby.

You know, it'd be nice if something good came out of Quibby.

Another word that we say.

Well, guess what, guys?

I quibbied today.

You quibbied today on their nation's founding.

Hey, I want to try something real quick.

All right, so I'm going to say, hi, I'm Seth.

And then I want, Andy, I want you to say, hi, I'm Andy.

Then we'll go Yorm.

Hi, I'm Yorm.

And then Akiva, hi, I'm Akiva.

So we got it real quick.

It'll go, Andy.

Do you have to say it really fast?

Cause I'm coming in hot today.

No, just say it slow.

Just say it normal.

Ready?

And we'll see if this works.

Fine.

Hi, I'm Seth.

I'm Andy.

Hi, I'm Yorma.

Hi, I'm Akiva.

And hi.

That did not work.

Whatever you did did not work at all.

We didn't hear it, Sam.

How do we do it where we hear it?

I heard the echo of like a weird.

I was like, wow, is there like a weird echo in the very deep background?

I like how much that sucked, though.

By the way, the amount of work I put into this was one email dashed off 12 minutes ago.

Yeah, but there was supposed to be something at the end and Zoom had filtered it out.

Yeah.

Total bust.

Should we do it again, Zeb?

Let's see if it works.

Now it has to be three times as good as I know it is.

Definitely do it again.

Well, the best part about anything going subpar today is that especially you East Coasters are actively ignoring your family during the 4th.

Yeah, it's 4th of July.

Again, 11 a.m.

not ideal to leave your family on 4th of July, but Yorm and I are just 2 p.m.

Absolute disaster.

Like people are showing up at the queue.

People are starting anything.

Yeah, and here's the thing.

My dad said that no one could start barbecuing until 4.

He made it a rule.

So I'm actually okay.

I can go till.

But bare minimum, Yorm, you got people showing up being like, where should I put these buns?

And your guys' wives are like,

Seth and Yorm usually answer that.

That did already happen.

I will say that that had to happen twice.

I left a beach.

I left a beach and had to tell multiple people I was going to do a podcast.

You could have lied.

It sounds like a lie.

It sounds like there's no way you're doing that on the fourth.

What a bad lie, though.

I mean, if you were having like an affair and that was the best you'd come up with.

Sorry, podcast beckons.

It's actually pretty good because no one will ask a follow-up question.

Right.

Nobody wants to hear about your fucking podcast.

No, they're not like, oh, which one?

What's what?

Who's the guest?

So it's actually very clean.

How was the banter?

And your, your co-hosts, were they overjobed, under job?

Who came in?

And did they quibby?

Did they quibby?

We skipped a week, so now this is a distant memory, but I remember feeling some vindication of people saying Lincoln Square when I saw

the comments.

Yeah, I wanted to own up to that.

You were right on Lincoln Square.

All right, should we try it?

Let's try it.

Let's try it again.

All right.

So, Andy, the one thing you didn't mess up, you're supposed to say hi.

Hi, I'm Andy.

I realized that after Keev and Yorm both did it, I was like, oh, odd man out.

All right.

Hi, I'm Seth.

Hi, I'm Andy.

Hi, I'm Yorma.

Hi, I'm Akiva.

And hi.

I am your

mother.

Oh, that's nice.

That's nice.

I am your mother.

I went back and watched that and texted with Fred about it.

I forgot Sadaika is very funny because one of the things about that sketch is it's very obvious to Andy and Zach's characters that they should recast.

Yeah.

And Jason really jumps to her defense mid-sketch.

Yeah, yeah.

You need one of those.

And it's that thing of like, look at her.

Look how beautiful she is.

And it just cuts to Fred, just like really not.

It's not that he's doing nothing.

It's that it's the most subtle.

He really is playing a woman who believes she's got it going on.

Right.

Yeah.

Really good.

Yeah, we like characters that like themselves.

Yeah.

Yeah, we do.

And often does.

Hey, this was, Jorm, can I share what you offered or I didn't offer.

You asked me to do you a solid a couple Fridays back.

Yeah, I asked Seth to do a solid.

He couldn't do it, which was a real fucking, I don't know, it was a real stab in the gut, I guess.

It was a content killer because it would have been great content.

Yeah.

Well, why don't you tell him, Seth?

Your masked if I would drive him home from his vasectomy.

I just thought it would be good content for the pod.

Oh, yes.

So you didn't actually need the ride.

You were just like, how do I fold this into the cast, my main passion?

That's awesome, actually.

Yeah, it would have been a real talking point, I think.

You're trying to create things to talk about on, so you have like talk show stories.

Yeah, totally.

Here's the thing, Seth.

Here's the thing, Seth.

I'm rescheduling for October, so there's still time.

Oh, yeah.

You didn't do it.

I didn't do it.

It was too big of a pain in the ass to get down there.

So, you know,

there's more than enough time.

And honestly, if any of you guys are out on the East Coast, I would love if multiple guys could pick me up.

It'd be really nice.

Oh, a whole party.

Yeah.

Jorm did say, I wish Lauren had the kind of sense of humor where I could ask him.

I seriously thought of that, but I was like, he's not going to pick this.

It's funny.

Oh, my God.

It would be.

I feel like you'd text him, and then one of his assistants would email and be like, he can't that day.

Yeah, it would never be like, are you fucking kidding me?

He doesn't pick people up.

He at least send a voice note, though, of encouragement.

He would be like, oh, he actually can't that day, but he does wish you the best.

A comment I enjoyed.

Just watched Total Recall for the first time and can't believe there aren't 40 more Lonely Island sketches about this movie.

Thank you.

Every scene has possibilities.

I mean, I was thinking the scene where he like pulls the like tracker out of his nose.

Oh, I mean,

it's still so memorable.

Oh, God.

Even just the like sort of like vaguely claymation shots when they are exposed to the mars air yeah

a bunch of large mars shots exactly yeah wait is that body horror is that technically body like when he takes it out of his nose would you put that in the body i would say that's maybe body horror i think that's fair yeah that's like a new genre that i'm hearing about a lot

sorry needless to say you're like a professional director that directs movies

and has worked in the business for 20 plus years.

And you just casually.

Let's move on to the next part of the show.

I'm actually just hearing about this phrase.

You guys heard about this body log?

Also, are you guys hip to film noir?

Have you heard about this?

Did you know that for a stretch of time there were many Western films maybe?

Have you heard about this film No Yacht?

Hey, let's talk about Mother Lover, though, because we don't have much time, right, guys?

We should really get into this.

I mean, we could.

You have till 4 o'clock.

I just flew it.

You said 3.30, and then you told us about your dad's rule, and now we know you lied to us.

Did you push back on that rule?

Like, why is it 4 p.m.?

He doesn't want people to get too hot.

It's his birthday, so I'm just listening to my dad's rules.

He's waiting for the sun to get lower in the sky.

Yes, he is.

He doesn't want anyone to overheat.

What happens before that then?

Are people not outside?

People fucking fry, dude.

They fry.

Yeah.

And also, my family tends to look straight up at the sun.

So you really want to do it later in the day.

Yeah, Yeah, you got it.

Squinters.

Yeah.

Yeah.

A lot of sun squinters.

We were trying to schedule this podcast on our text thread, and Jorm said, I can't do that in my dad's play is opening.

And then what did I say?

Everybody said, yeah, my dad's play.

I think you just said same.

Yeah, same.

And then Seth followed suit, and I think Akiva did too.

Our dad's play is open.

All our dads.

I said that if you grew up in Berkeley, you never saw your dad because he always had a play that was open.

That's

kind of true, guys.

That's not like, yeah, it's a a lot of plays.

Hey, somebody said you guys talked a lot about the

which Lonely Island cast member is which chipmunk.

Do you guys have a theory as to which one of you is which beastie boy?

This one is difficult.

It hinges on which song that we're doing and what fake voices we're putting off.

It usually has to do with the voice.

I will say

somebody offered their pick, and it got into my head what I would say.

I mean, if you talk about like our baseline voice tones,

it would be Akiva is Adrock, I'm Mike D, and Yorm's MCA because Yorm's bassiest, lowest, Keeves, highest, and that leaves me in the middle.

It's when we're doing those voices, though, it's not all the time.

On the other hand, when we did Bash Brothers songs, I was more MCA-ish.

Yeah, just in terms of flow, or well, because Jose Conseco, the way that we were writing him, was a little more that, but like on Sushi Glory Hole, I'm not going high at all.

No, so but we're not doing Beastie Boys at all on that.

I think vibe-wise, though, yeah, okay, Andy is ad rock, Yoram is Mike D, and Keeve is MCA.

Oh, okay.

Right, cool.

I mean, if I could have chosen one, like from the time I was a little kid, yeah, that I would have most wanted to have been, it would have been Ad Rock.

So thank you.

Yeah.

This is heartbreaking.

Remember, it was two weeks ago we were talking about Andy, you said in the stewed, and then the closed captioning said in this dude.

Right.

And so we had you do it a bunch of times fast.

Oh, yeah.

And then YouTube said, in the stew.

In the stew.

In the stew.

You made a left turn there.

Smart.

S-T-E-W.

Like the end of some fable where you went to a witch's.

So now if I say in the stew, what is it going to say?

In the stew.

In the stew.

In the stew.

In the stew.

I don't want to get too tangential here, but do you guys have like a favorite soup?

Because I was thinking about this recently.

I'm not too tangential at all.

A few moments ago, Jorn was like, we got to get to Mother Lover.

Wait, wait, no, no.

Sound off.

Favorite stew.

Since we're talking.

And let's hear from the Kawaiid Armies.

Like, hey, I just realized my dad doesn't have any plays opening today.

We could talk forever.

I got some four.

Guys, I got to, I don't know what you heard, but I got some four.

They're doing notes on opening nights at four.

To answer the question in earnest, I have a lot of soups that I really like.

Okay.

Like, I love a French onion.

I fuck with a beef borly.

Borally?

Yeah.

Beef borly?

Borally?

What were some of the favorite Hale and Hardy soups down in 30 years?

Oh, my God.

Yeah, there was that like Moroccan peanut and something chicken one.

That was super.

That was basically like peanut butter with a little bit of chicken in it.

Hail and Hardy was a soup place in the basement of 30 Rock.

Where there, again, when you say in the basement, it seems like a shady place to get food, but there's like a concourse of restaurants.

And Hail and Hardy was a real go-to for an SNL rewrite table.

It was a real go-to.

And there was a moment at a rewrite table, I think it was your rewrite table, Seth, where me, I know me and Keith were in the room, and Higgins walked in and started talking about pale and farty.

Do you guys go to Pale and Farty?

And then within 20 minutes, me and Keeve had made, using his brother, texting his brother, had made a website called pale and farty.com.

Yeah.

And then while Higgins was in the room, then we're like, hey, check it out.

Like, look up the website.

Holy shit.

This is pretty impressive.

Yeah.

I don't remember that at all.

You don't?

Oh, man.

I do remember.

I owned the domain.

It was super, it was like very unsettling to look at as a website.

It was like neon colors.

It's pretty horrendous colors.

Like, hurt your eyes.

Well, I would hope.

Hailandhardy.com?

I don't think it exists anymore.

No, no.

There's no way my brother kept paying for the domain name.

Oh, God.

Can I say something embarrassing?

Of course, it makes sense that it was Keeves' brother.

I thought you were talking about Higgins, brother.

That would have been way funnier.

I was like, what?

Al Higgins just did it up.

Yeah.

I was like, what the fuck does he know about that?

Yeah, the guy's good at coding.

My memory of Hail and Hardy soup is, you know, they'd come with those little oyster crackers.

And I remember just stress-eating oyster crackers where I'd bite them in half, you know, because you can kind of split them in half with your teeth and thinking to myself that I'd never have a funny idea ever again in my life.

Yeah, they're like the pistachio of crackers.

Yeah.

Oh, I was going to say, everybody sort of.

Mine's gazpacho.

Mine's gazpacho.

To end that.

Jesus Christ.

Okay, go ahead.

Keep going.

Just keep going.

Everybody, our listeners thought Balcony Song got hosed.

And a bunch of people quoted Keeve saying, what's the point of the show?

Is applause and laughter the point of the show?

I didn't think I got that angry, guys.

You know what?

Justified.

It was just normal.

Hey, I have a question, Keeve.

Oh, so I went, I traveled.

I went to Amsterdam, brought Ashley.

I wasn't sweating.

You know what?

If you love love, I think it was a pretty special time.

Oh, interesting.

I love love.

That's so great.

Yeah.

But I was at the airport.

I had four or five different people say Quaid Army to me in the airport.

Oh, man.

That's cool.

And the best thing about it is different people think it is meant to be delivered in different ways.

Some people say it like it's a secret.

They get real like almost like this is how you know I'm a spy as well.

No, it's my club.

That's my favorite way.

That's my favorite.

They'll be like, righteous kill.

Other people will like scream it across the concourse like I just gave the Mel Gibson Braveheart speech.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Righteous kill.

Oh, sorry.

They yelled Quaid Army and then I righteous kill it back.

Yeah, Quaid Army.

But I did really really fist up yell righteous kill at somebody, and then my son asked about it, and I'm like, this is going to take too long.

I don't want to talk about it.

Someone said it to me last week, Seth, but they said both of them, and I had nothing to say back.

Oh, they said quait army, righteous kill.

Quaid Army, righteous kill.

And I was like,

where do I fit in?

Oh, yeah.

You guys, you guys, if you guys see us, please don't take both things if you see us.

Yeah.

You can say it however you want.

You can say it like a secret.

You can say it like it's something to scream, but like, please don't say both.

Yeah, because then we can't say righteous kill back.

We have nothing to do.

You fuck us up.

You fuck us up.

We look idiotic.

Don't do that.

Last comment before we get to, although, you know what I mean?

I'm going to find some other note I took.

Find some fucking dope dishes.

Oh, I was going to say, Keeve, is there in Naked Gun, is there a righteous kill?

No, I got it.

If I was writing it now, he'd say it five times.

No, but like, is there like a kill in the movie that is righteous?

I don't think so.

Okay, I gotcha.

I think that there's an even more righteous thing that happens at the end, and you got to go see the movie to, you know, sometimes killing isn't always righteous, guys.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was just hoping there might be a moment like in

Brickbreaker.

What's that, Minecraft?

Oh, yeah.

Movie where, like, at some point, a zombie jumps on a chicken and everybody throws their popcorn in there.

Chicken jockey.

Chicken jockey.

Come on, come on.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

You're like, what's our chicken jockey moment where we can destroy theaters?

Yeah, I need to figure out where to tell people to riot.

Oh,

I like thinking about the snood movie coming out and Lauren in the theater going,

oh my god, it's a fucking purple ball.

Oh my god, it's a fucking purple, purple bubble,

purple ball!

Tearing his shirt off.

Somebody's on his shoulders and everything.

Everyone reveals they're covered in purple face paint.

Everyone shows it.

Just got an email to my AOL snood movie coming out.

We just secured, Broadway Video just secured the snood rights.

Will I attend the premiere?

What do you fucking think?

Dressed as one of the major snoods.

uh all right so um here we go you guys it's uh again i'm gonna gloss over it because we've definitely talked about it mother liver was voted on by your peers as the best digital short and uh i loved watching it again but i my first question to you because it was only five months after dick in a box oh my god is that true how well maybe it's not i will say that it starts with a title card that says five months later oh oh in terms of the story of these characters yeah yeah dick in a box was Christmas, but was it Christmas 2007?

This is May 9th.

I can't imagine.

He didn't host twice in the same year.

So it was.

No, it had been years.

This is May 9th, 2009.

So this is a year and a half later in the real world.

It had been like 15 years.

And my question is, did you know he was coming back?

Did you know you were going to do the dick in the box guys again?

Like, you obviously knew you were going to do a shirt with him.

Did you know you would do those two dudes?

Yes.

Right away.

I mean, we were terrified of it.

Totally terrified to do it again.

The pressure was on.

And we had even talked to him.

I think he called us like ahead of his week to be like, How the fuck are we going to top that?

And we were like, I don't think we can.

Well, he also had been there, obviously, for the Kathy thing that was a couple episodes back.

That must have been it instead.

Instead of him calling, he probably talked to us about it then.

Yeah, I feel like we were like, he was like, what are we going to do?

Yeah.

I think it was discussion.

Like, is it those guys again?

Is it something new?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know if it was like a given, but like, obviously, it seemed like the right thing to do if we could come up with an idea.

That was, it was so scary, though.

Just to I think we all wanted it to be them again.

again and i think he wanted it to be them again if it felt good we knew it was the mother's day show for a while and the premise that it ended up being loosely we came up with immediately and then and we did this on the third one also and then we're like okay now is that really the best thing that we can come up with for this uh and then eventually just decided yes fuck it and i feel like in both scenarios justin was like yeah it's good it's good like like we're we're good to go like that's fucking and then for three days like all of of us were like, I don't know.

I mean, he correctly was like, it's better to just get started on it.

Yes.

Yes.

And Andy, you, you correctly remembered the other day when we were prepping for this, because we do a lot of, me and Andy do a lot of side prepping.

Where we call and

talk about, really?

No wonder it goes so well.

What are we going to wear?

What are we going to wear for the pod?

And you try to do it with Yorn, but he's off at the Gaespacho shop.

No, he's not recognizing that.

But you were saying that like Timberlake was from the ground up part of this one.

Yes.

Whereas the other one, you know, we didn't know what it was.

We were off trying to figure it out and crack it.

And then he came in pretty late into it and then added his spice over the whole thing and made it awesome.

This one, because we knew what we were in for, he was just in our office.

Yes.

And we built it totally from scratch.

I do remember him feeling a little frustrated with how long we resort was taking to decide on whether we should do it or not, though.

The next one, even more so.

I feel like that was more on the third one.

The third one, yeah, more so.

Yeah, for sure.

Did I just want to clarify, these gentlemen never had names, right?

Not Not at the time.

No.

Yeah, no.

But it is fun to have recurring characters who are so iconic in their appearance that they do not need to be named.

The dick-in-a-box guys.

Yeah, the dick-in-a-box guys.

So how do we want to do it?

Because I have a lot to ask about.

So you knew.

I mean, we knew we decided that was going to be the premise.

We got a beat from Jorm's brother Asa again and Drew Campbell, his buddy.

They made a beat together.

And Drew did a lot of beats

on the Bash brothers, just to give some context.

We worked with Drew a lot on different things as well.

Well, and what's cool about this beat, I remember, is that we had asked him months, if not even a year earlier, there was some beat we loved.

I'm not going to remember the song, that was very synth heavy and 808 heavy.

And we said, can you make things that sound like this, that are just this vibe?

And they made us a few.

Drew Campbell did right away.

I'm not sure how much ASA was in on that part of it.

And one later became Throw It On the Ground.

And one became mother lover.

And did a third get used?

It's so crazy.

Usually people give us 50 beats and maybe one becomes a song at best.

This was us requesting something specific.

They gave us three beats and minimum two became throw it on the ground and mother lover.

That's how good they are.

Really?

It was from that session was throw it on the ground?

Yeah.

And what is the instruction you give them, Keeve, to get that mother lover beat?

We keep saying, hey, make it more dope.

like that.

But this, so this beat existed before we came up with the idea of mother lover.

We then went and looked through beats that we liked in the past, dug it up and went, ooh, it could be to that.

It was not bespoke made for Mother Lover.

Like Dick in a Box was bespoke made for the idea.

But that's why this one doesn't actually, the beat itself is not 90s New Jack R ⁇ B at all.

Which I'm so glad of because it makes it immediately feel a little more.

urgent and different.

It's also so much faster that you can cram way more jokes.

Like this like has so many more jokes.

This is like, I wouldn't say this is twice as fast as dick in a box, but it's very fast.

It's so fast.

And there's incredible verbal dexterity right out of the gates, which is a delight to listen to.

Asus sent us a voice note about the beat.

Do we want to just jump into that?

Let's hear it.

Yeah, let's hear it.

Please.

You know, the only thing I will say about Mother Lover that I can recall that was a point of annoyance for me was that

when me and Drew Campbell made the beat, we were trying to make this mashup like trance pop album with like almost like big trap drums and

Andy was the only person that had faith in it.

We would send him music and he'd be like, oh, I'm fucking with this.

And so he was the one that chose Mother Lover, as he has many of our other beats.

And I remember after that song kind of went off and went viral, everybody hit me up and was like, oh, why didn't you give me that beat?

And da-da-da.

And I was like, I tried.

I tried for two years to shop that beat around and nobody wanted it.

And so shout out to Andy.

Love you, baby boy.

Oh, Bing Bong.

This guy has foresight.

Dagwood.

That's not what I was remembering either, but I'll take it.

Yeah.

But it did exist for two years, and I guess they just sent it over when we asked for Cynthia Beats.

Yeah.

I'm so curious who asked, like, who said that to him after the fact that he was like, oh, why didn't you?

Because I do occasionally feel like when we make a song that once the beat has come out, I'm like, wow, we ruined that beat.

Nobody can be on that beat anymore.

I just like that it is a cliche of what I really wanted to believe happens in hip-hop, where people call around and are like, why are you holding out the big, good beats on me?

Like, there's like the Glen Gary beats.

My son now says that

we'll be playing like an Octonaut song that I, yeah, that like is like tearing my soul out of my mouth, and he'll start dancing and be like, This is a good beat.

I'll be like, All right, man.

I mean, you got the right rhythm, but the song's fast.

He's nodding his head, like, yeah, oh, that's great.

This shit goes, this slaps.

That's who passed on ASIS.

The octonauts passed on mother lovers.

Wow, that's great.

Guys, I have to bail.

Okay, okay.

Later, buddy, love you.

Love you.

Love you.

Well, hey, everybody, Keith had to bail 4th of July.

And again, our families weren't that excited that we were doing it today.

Hate this, in fact.

I think they were real mad.

So here's the thing.

Andy, it starts with five months later.

Yeah.

And you guys are walking out of prison.

Getting out of jail.

You're getting out of jail.

And when you're getting out of jail, did you get permission to shoot on the steps of this police station?

Oh, man.

Jorm, do you remember?

This is we did.

Yes, we did.

It's a Brooklyn Detention Center,

kind of near the Brooklyn 9-9 precinct that is actually like based on that that Dan told me, Dan Gore told me that it was apparently based on.

And we did get permission.

It was just like you guys coming in.

Hey, here's the thing.

When Justin Timberleg's with you, it's a little easier to get permission.

All right.

So another thing I like, you guys come down the steps.

You're carrying your boxes.

And I think most people maybe forget that you got arrested at the end of ticking a box.

Oh, too many people.

It's important that we do, but yeah, you do maybe push it from your mind.

I like that both of you, though, are pointing the holes out on the boxes.

Oh, yeah, so you can see.

Yeah.

It's a fun reminder that you guys put your dicks in them.

And their average size holds, like, you know, every, yeah, good size holds.

In case anyone forgot, like, that was the premise.

Should we do a rewatch as we do this one?

I think we should.

We can.

I mean, I kind of want to talk about the writing part because I just want to bring it up.

Yeah, let's do that first.

Great.

Yeah, keep going.

I just remember it being one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences personally that I've ever had working on something.

Oh, do tell.

Like, I feel like we were on fire during it.

It felt very flowy, yeah.

It felt like it was coming really easily.

The beat, we really loved.

Justin was in the room with us as we were writing, and he and I were doing a lot of like, there's no other word for it, Yorm, riffing.

Musical riffing.

Riffing and like looking at each other and things that sort of

became moments in the video to me.

Like there's definitely like moments of you guys looking at each other.

There's a lot of looking in each other's faces in these videos.

Yes, yes.

I mean, these dudes are close.

They're close.

Well, they have very similar ideas.

That's so funny.

Yeah, like, I guess we kind of think they just want to bow in each other's moms, but a lot of it comes from their own intense closeness.

They're very, I mean, we learned more about that in the 30s.

You can just picture them at sleepovers.

There's something also about them, and I think it's probably because the music was popular when we were in junior high, but like the like youngness of we're going to wear matching outfits and have choreographed dances and we're going to know all the moves and do them at the same time and look into each other's eyes and then turn away at the same time and do it, you know, and like we were riding that kind of energy for it.

And I remember being like, oh, this is just fun.

Like regardless of how it ends up, it's super fun to do.

And I remember having a lot of ideas for it, musically and lyrically, that happened very quickly.

And it was just a good time.

And And I remember being shocked at how much time we had with Justin.

Like, you don't usually have that much time with the host, and any moment that he got to not be on set, having to rehearse, he was like with us, which was really, really fun.

Yeah, I mean, he wrote a bunch of the lyrics in Mother Lover.

Yeah, gang.

Like, I want to say, um, I'm going to make your mama do a million poses, digital camera line was just 100% his pitch.

Yeah.

I think I'm going to be the syrup, she could be my waffle was his line, possibly.

Yeah, in a bunch.

And then, you know, just all throughout it, the back and forthiness of it, we were just vibing.

It was super fun.

I like that he appreciated how important it was to,

if not outdo, at least be in the same zip code as the first one.

That it would suck for everybody involved if it was bad.

Yes.

And I also will say, I believe this was one of many times that we asked Asa and Drew to add a breakdown after the fact.

And they gave us that beautiful, like, synthy, like Alpha Ville sounding breakdown that turns into It Would Be My Honor, that section.

It's kind of weird for how much I love this one and for how many jokes I feel like land and how many jokes I like, and both visual and like just written jokes for this, that none of us voted for this one when you did the 64 like March Madness thing.

None of you three.

I think I did.

All three of us voted for I ran so far over this one, but pound for pound, this was a pretty good

I thought maybe I voted for mother.

No, we all three you remember that I didn't?

Yeah, yeah.

That's crazy that you remember what I voted for and I don't.

Yeah.

It's it's just that I was uh happy that we were a team.

You know what I mean?

Well, I've said that one of, I think one of the reasons it won over Iran so far is that every comedy writer in the room appreciates how hard it is to outdo a hit.

Sure.

Like everybody at SNL, every writer at SNL who had a thing that they then wrote the second version of, they know that like, oh.

Yeah.

Because I don't even think about Ticket a Box when I'm watching Mother Lover.

Like there's nothing established other than

the first shot of the boxes.

Yeah.

Where a joke in the first one is repeated in the second one, which is.

Yeah.

It was also just super exciting now, like, everyone's attention was on it production-wise.

Like, everyone did a great job on the first one, but all of a sudden, we were like, hey, let's get outfits for the second one, you know?

And like, you can see as soon as the video starts, we had so many fucking dope outfits.

Yeah,

and got like actual matching stuff.

And there's just like more layers to every setup.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, we'll get to that, I guess.

Just when off the jump, your digital watches that you guys have are just so dope.

I love those watches.

And the roast beef sandwiches.

I mean, again.

The sandwiches.

When a sandwich shows up in one of your pieces of work, Andy.

For me, it's like when Stan Lee shows up in a Marvel movie.

I'm like, there it is.

Yeah, he's the real Joey of the group.

Also, the sandwiches are so...

It's like they literally look the way you would want them to look if you had comedy sandwiches because you guys are just the floppy ham.

You guys are wagging them around pretty hard.

It's roast beef.

I hate to correct a dear friend.

No, yeah, but you're floppy roast beef.

Yeah.

And it like, you're gesturing with it, and just the right amount is coming off every time you gesture.

A little stringy, little floppy.

And we knew, I mean, I can't remember who pitched that.

I don't know if it was you or Kim or that.

But that setup, we were like, that setup is going to be a lot of like shakiness, motions.

And it immediately was making us giggle before we even shot it.

I remember thinking that I was surprised this was working as well as it was.

It was good, stringy roast beef.

Because sometimes, if you want, if you say, I want a sandwich that falls apart, they like make it like they make a bad sandwich.

Yeah, like this looked like a sandwich you could eat.

Oh, yeah, this is a real sandwich.

It just looked exactly the way a sandwich, if you just were waving a sandwich around too much, like it would just very slowly fall apart.

I think there's a decent chance we took bites of those sandwiches at some point.

Also, fun, fun fact, Andy is still young Sandwich in my phone.

When I call him, that's what pops up.

So if you hack Yorm, that's how to get in touch with me.

Yeah, well, just hold me, Dobert.

It's fine.

If someone can figure out how to hack you, there's a four box of people out there.

Yorm, no one can, you think someone can, what, like trick you into being confused about something enough to hack your phone?

No, dude.

Once a week, someone in Brooklyn walks up to Yorm and says, hey, can I use your phone real quick to call my mom?

And then he hands it to them and they just run away.

Don't call Young Zaywitches.

It's not easy.

Hey, I work at Barclays Center.

Can I hold your phone?

Should we watch?

Should we watch?

Should we step through?

Yeah, who wants to be in charge of the stopping and starting?

It can't be me, and you guys know why.

Know how to do it.

All right, I can do it.

All right, ready, guys?

Yeah, well, let's check it out.

Five months later, I want to note: you'll hear right away, audience, thrilled to see you guys.

Yeah.

Dudes that look like that in real life don't get that reaction coming out of jail.

Justin's I love the old timey trash can.

Oscar the grouch.

Oh, damn.

All right.

Should we stop?

Yeah.

I mean, dude, that watch.

That's the watch.

Yeah.

It like matches the color of your outfit.

It matches the outfit.

The watch matches the outfit.

It's a watch, you know, that has a full calculator keyboard on it, it looks like.

Yeah, Seth, do you want to go back and look at the size of the holes?

That was something Yorm was interested in.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you guys definitely did yourselves a solid with the size of the holes.

Hey, you don't know.

It's implying that you don't put the balls through.

I think those boxes were rattling around.

If it was Yorm and I was guessing, I would know if it was accurate, as discussed.

Yeah.

But you, Seth, I know, don't know.

I don't know.

All right.

So the watch is really beautiful.

My God, it's so funny.

It's fucking great.

God damn it, that Casio.

Casio.

The illuminator.

Now, of course, I do have a question here.

Your watch goes off.

You set an alarm for 1.18 in the afternoon on Mother's Day.

That's right.

That's when I get up.

Oh, I'm pretty sure 118 is when that watch was broken and frozen.

So an alarm goes off that reminds you that it's Mother's Day, but also that it's too late to buy a present.

So you set an alarm too late to be able to do anything about it.

Yeah, it might be 1.18 a.m.

That makes complete sense, dude.

Then all tracks.

I also want to note that you, I want to play it from this moment of the watch going on.

You realize it's Mother's Day and you haven't bought anything.

And Justin is sort of has empathy for you.

And then, like, about two-thirds through it, he then realizes the same has happened for him.

He doesn't right away.

He also forgot

flawless character logic.

All this.

Oh, damn.

What is a doll?

I forgot it's Mother's Day.

Didn't get a gift for her.

Other plans got in the way.

She'll be so disappointed.

Damn, I forgot it too.

This could have been avoided.

What the hell are we gonna do?

The plans that got in the way were that they were in jail.

They got arrested.

Other plans got in the way.

They were in jail.

They got arrested for putting their dicks in boxes.

So we have the first of many both looking at the camera lens at the exact same time on what are we gonna do.

So you're really aware that a camera's here.

And then this is just beautiful.

I'm gonna say Keeve editing here of just like hard cut to them working out in in the gym in bright neon outfits as the drums drop in and that beat, obviously.

And he's holding your feet.

You're doing sit-ups and you're explaining the situation.

Yeah.

And we hear really why both of your mothers are maybe in need of a lover.

Well, we'll hear.

We'll let you guys explain it.

Yeah.

Also, working out in full like Windbreaker.

And you're wearing like, what do you call those stonewash jeans?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But with the sleeveless hoodie, which I forgot was a part of this, but does track.

Is he wearing those like skateboard pants, the Zumbas are?

Do you say cold, Andy?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What the hell are we gonna do?

My mom's been so alone ever since my daddy left.

No one to hold it tight.

Patty Clark's in.

I know just what you mean.

My mom's been so bad.

Susan surrendered.

Yes.

Yeah, okay.

So

Timberlake's daddy left his mom.

That's cold.

Yeah.

My mom can't be satisfied by my dad in the bedroom ever since he passed away.

When you say he passed away, you then make the international gesture for going to bed.

Right, yeah.

He's passed.

You definitely do.

Like, he went to sleep.

He says, like, rocketbye, baby.

Cold.

I really love cold.

Cold is good.

Yeah, yeah.

He left her.

Cold.

Yeah.

And then we see, this is the audience revealing who will be playing your mothers in this, and it is Patty Clarkson and Susan Sarandon.

And

how did that come to pass?

I think it was like we asked talent who was around that would be super exciting and they said both those names.

We were also like, who should look like they could be my and Justin's moms.

Did Patty live in the, was she just in the, because I, Susan obviously is the city.

Yeah, she strikes me as New York City.

They both live.

I think they're both New York.

Yeah.

They were certainly at that time.

Yeah.

And we were like, yeah, I mean, it's like how we always were with everything.

We're like, sure.

And then, you know, it's Justin.

So everyone's just like, sure.

Right.

Oh, my God.

They were both so great to work with, too.

They were just so awesome.

They're both so great.

And they were both so much fun and such great hangs.

And they look amazing.

And they were hilarious in it.

Their outfits are great.

Yeah.

Yeah, they're pretty sexy ladies.

They're having a lot of fun.

Yeah.

Also, Patty's really having fun being like sexy in some real like mom outfits.

Yeah, she's like pretending to be dowdy.

She's in the parts.

I'd like to know we're 52 seconds in and I'm pretty sure the reveal is just a minute.

Like, it's crazy how fast you guys lay out the premise of this, and I do think it speaks to what Jorma was saying.

Like, it moves so fast.

You're getting a lot of details in.

By the way, so 52 seconds in, but not of the song, there's a whole bunch of.

Preamble.

Yeah.

So that's, yeah, that's a great point.

Where does the music even start there?

I think that we maybe get to it in like 30 seconds.

Yeah, your watch goes off at 21 seconds.

So we're 31 seconds in at this point.

Yeah, this is efficient.

And we have decided that you guys forgot Mother's Day.

One of your dads left and another dad is dead.

And neither of your moms who's satisfied sexually.

Yes, yes.

That's in 30 seconds.

It's a lot of bags.

We're already into like our fourth or fifth location or setup.

And this, this next outfit is fucking great.

Like it's just, there's metallic fucking, it looks like it's made of rayon, which, by the way, was a big thing for us growing up junior high.

You guys both have tiny, thin little chains as well, which was also what we were in junior high.

Yeah.

Which I think Justin related to as well.

How would you describe this kind of shirt?

Like, what is this?

It's like a rayon button-up.

Yeah.

It's like acetate or rayon.

Yeah.

But what is the pattern?

Like, what do you even call that?

Just of the era?

Yeah, it's like paisley adjacent or something.

Yeah, yeah.

Like, Color Me Bad would wear it.

It's just early 90s.

Yeah.

I want to say both of you guys, both of the dick in the box guys, are idiots.

Right.

With that said, you're very clearly the dumb one, Andy.

Oh, for sure.

Like, you guys are, you guys are both so dumb, and you are clearly the dumb one.

Oh, yeah.

Like,

brainy go-bye-bye on my guy.

The freeze frame we have right now,

Kev, if you could just pop on your phone just a photo so we can put in the show notes of the moment.

Like, this is a dumb guy having a, this is a dumb guy thinking he has a good idea.

Exactly.

This is totally Blizzard Man, like, just jaw on the floor.

We love that.

We love that move, like, Dodo's so confident.

Just mouth breather.

Like, I'm about to blow your mind.

All right.

So now this is, you guys have your sandwiches, sandwiches and you're basically coming to the conclusion about how you're gonna fix Mother's Day.

Yes.

And the fact that you don't have gifts.

Here we go.

Roast beef flopping.

I'm thinking I'm thinking too.

It's time for us to do it.

Justin swirls his roast beef on the dark sandwich.

All right, so we're formulating the plan there.

And

I, I mean, this is not important to anyone but me, but I don't remember if we were like, pull the roast beef out so it it flails around a lot or if it just started.

I think we did a little, a tiny bit, but it was also.

Yeah, I think it was a little column A, column B on that.

Yeah, but certainly nobody was allowed to tuck the beef back in.

No, for sure.

I mean, yeah, once you get that beef swirled.

No, but I will say, I will say, for a shot reverse shot, two guys sitting by a little fountain, that is way more entertaining than it should be.

Like, there's nothing happening really with the shots.

And you're like, this is great.

I really like these fucking guys.

And again, like, he's such a good dancer that it does look like long practice choreography, what he's doing with the sandwich and the roast beef.

Yes.

Little twirl.

Yeah, it's like watching like a whatever, like a baton major, whatever you call those people.

Well, it's time for a switcheroo.

You know, he's got

so now we know switcheroo, but I still don't think the audience knows what this means, this switcheroo.

Except you did.

So what do you say, break it off?

What do you say?

I say we break them off, show them how much they really need.

Yeah, but I don't know if a lot of the audience knew what break them off meant.

Yeah, certainly, I think, again.

You you think so?

You think a lot of SNL audience was like, ah, yeah, I think that they're ready to go over this next point.

So, again, you know, the music's triumphant.

You guys are out by the bridge, and just uh, here we go.

Okay, all right, so clean could have easily just gotten out there, but then we reveal it's a double chorus.

It is a double chorus.

I actually forgot.

I stopped thinking the chorus was over, but it is a double chorus.

I can easily go, fuck you, Joe.

I'm going to go right into the next verse, but no.

So should we hear the rest of the chorus?

Well,

I think this is a good moment to just mention, though, like, I'll push in that lady where you came out as a baby.

I think was the moment that my mom was like, I really dislike this song.

This is one of the ones that she hated the most, which I was a little surprised by.

Mother Lover is one of our songs that has a lot of stuff that I would normally say is just inexcusable.

Yeah.

And is so gross in a way that I don't even really enjoy personally.

And yet, for some reason, in this context, musically the way it is, and because it's these guys, I do like it.

It's that they're so dumb.

It's that they're so beyond dumb that you're like, it's fine.

I think it really helps that it's also like Patty and Susan.

Right.

I like that it's them and not like cast members of ours aged up.

Right.

You know, like Fred and you.

Right.

Yeah.

I don't think anybody likes that.

I also want to, I think for everybody listening who might worry that slang has changed,

I don't think anybody, forget the baby half of that couplet, ever said like, I'm going to push in that lady.

Right?

I don't know about that.

I don't know about that.

Pushing that lady?

No, that's like push my seed in her bush like level

project.

That's right.

Cody Chestnut stuff.

Cody Chestnut.

And then obviously did it again with the roots, you know.

And that one actually, I think, had more commercial success.

What's up, Amir?

Oh, while we're talking about Amir, because we know he's a listener, you want to ask Quade what he's cooking?

Oh, Quaid, what do you got on that stove top right now?

Let's see what the Quade is cooking.

Quaid, oh.

You making alphabets, dude?

Hey, in the like, I can't believe what an article decided to pull out of the last episode.

Somebody wrote a headline of like, great balls of fire was Jack Quaid's like his the soundtrack of his growing up.

You know, any promo for the pod is just a blessing, it's just a blessing.

But somebody, somebody sent me a screen on like social media, they sent me a screenshot and they said, I was so excited to share this with the pod, not realizing that it came from the pod.

Like, they saw a headline and they're like, oh my god, Lonely Island guys are gonna love to hear this.

That's really funny.

All right, so second half of the first chorus.

I don't want to be right.

I'm calling on you because I can do it myself.

So me and like the brother, so be my mother lover.

Yes, okay.

Another edit I love is when you put your fingers up and it cuts to you on the roast beef spot and your fingers are up as well.

I love that it matches the choreography at a different chart.

I was going to say, I think Every Mother's Day Needs a Mother's Night is one of the first things I wrote down for this premise.

Yeah.

Beautiful.

It's very good.

It's very, very good.

Thanks, Seth.

The cutaways in the chorus of the moms, I remember feeling were always a little subpar because we kind of rushed through them.

So just the fact that Patty's like leaning against a trash can looking sexy, it's like a

bit rushed.

I would argue everyone would have guessed we did that on purpose.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, now we know.

Because it is funny, don't you think?

I mean, we did.

We did do it on purpose.

It was just like,

sit over here.

Smell this flower.

I do.

And again, that moment where where Susan Saranda walks by and you guys are standing in sort of a alcove.

Yeah.

Because you're showing her off to Justin.

Yes, yes.

And it's very,

I mean, I wouldn't dare to actually really say this, but it's, you know, New York 90s, like do the right thing vibes almost.

Yeah.

I'm like, yo, check her.

Yes, please.

I mean, let's be more fair.

It's probably more like house party.

Yeah.

It's also definitely weird that she doesn't see the two of you in the alcove.

Yeah, well, it's magical realism.

Oh, that's it.

Good.

Good to know.

Yeah.

That's like the size of those holes in the box.

That's my

per what?

What are you even basing that on?

All right.

Now we see Patty, Patty in bed looking forlorn, as we've established.

Beautiful silk negly.

Yeah, forlorn.

The AI might transcribe that as that.

She's looking for Lauren Michael.

She's looking for Lauren Michael.

Well, I assumed in this, Lauren was your dad who left her.

Well, you added like a hiccup in the word.

I'm just saying.

I did.

I did.

People are groaning before the punchline even comes.

Well, you do hold up lube and roses.

But I haven't said it yet.

They start going, ah!

I know, but they start groaning.

Yeah, there's so much looking into the camera.

Impressing the audience with like, look at this lube, look at these roses.

We're bringing back Keevin Yorm's fake magazine that they would try to get

records.

We're up in the cut.

I believe it in the cut.

And then it is funny, just a digital camera, as good as the watch, I would say that digital camera.

People are really into it right now, and it keeps getting better.

Yorm line.

We are so cool and thoughtful is 100% yorm.

Wait, what is we are so cool.

There's two lines that I know for 100% in the song are yorm.

One is we are so cool and thoughtful.

The other one is give it to my mom.

Well, I'm really excited to get to that line because there's a weird shift when that line happens.

Because you guys first start singing what you're going to do to the other one's mom.

Then you all of a sudden are telling him what to do with your mom,

which is so much worse.

Yeah, it's much worse.

Like the first one is terrible.

Yes.

But it's like 10x worse that now you're giving him nose.

Yes.

Yorm loves like a Annia Harry book.

I like it right to the point.

What if it was like really pristine all the way through and then you just fucked off this end part?

That's a good yarn move.

And it truly does work.

Here's the thing.

It's also similar to our don't give a honk slash punchy in the jeans guys in that it's dumb guys agreeing with each other, which I always like as a move of being like, that's a great idea.

Yeah, they're not, nobody has any.

It's like you're testing each other's limits.

Yeah, exactly.

Misguided camaraderie.

Yeah.

I don't know if it's misguided.

I think these guys, I think they need each other and I'm really happy they're friends.

Well, the outsider might find it misguided, was what I meant.

Yeah, right, right, right.

They think they're steering each other right.

All right, here we go.

I forgot the other thing is that the setup to doggy style is chamomile.

Chamomile, yeah.

So basically, like Justin's saying, here's what my mom's into, bubble bass, chamomile.

Yeah.

And then you're just like, my mom, my most filthy.

Well, no, I just what I want him to do for her.

It's a gift.

It's a Mother's Day care.

That's what she needs.

But chamomile really, like, almost, it's a wonderful sleight of hand that you don't think something that graphic is coming.

It sounds like we're setting up a very specific triple syllable rhyme.

Yeah.

And it's just that

you're going to make doggy 11 syllable.

Also, the shot that was was chosen for me doing that line, I'm like, way too close to the camera, kind of falling out of focus.

It's very frenetic.

I'm going to watch it again.

You're right.

Justin not moving at all, like just a fucking statue locked in.

That's another good shot.

Well, now we're sort of seeing you each in the world where the other one is about to have sex with your mom.

So

Susan's got.

Right.

Susan's got her arms wrapped around Justin in the kitchen.

She's wearing some some open mitts.

You come up, take stock of this moment, and then just give a real like nod.

Like, this could not be going better.

Yeah, I just like it.

It looks like Andy's just going in to get a snack in his own.

That's what I was going to say.

I think I'm coming in for a cup or something.

Yeah.

Can we run that back, Seth?

Yeah, let's run it back.

And he's going in for like a sunny D or something.

Yeah.

He's going to grab a broker or something.

Sunny D.

It does seem likely going in to get sunny D out of a a drawer fridge.

And you way too late in the process realize that your best friend and your mom are sitting on the counter right in front of you.

You're like, oh, I like this.

Support comes from how did this get made?

One of my favorite other pods.

Do you love movies that are so bad they're good?

We're not talking about the room here, guys.

That's just good, good.

I'm talking about movies where Jason statham saves a day or a lifetime thriller about a killer fight instructor or basically basically any 80s movie set in the near future please don't say that they covered rad on this podcast because it's one of the best movies ever made so if then you answered yes to the above you'll love how did this get made comedians paul shear love them june diane raphael killer this is killer squad so far and jason manzoukis unpacked the very best of the worst films ever made did they do deathbed yet the patent oswald joke i don't know i haven't listened to that episode they recently covered big-budget superhero Flops, Craven, and Hunter, and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I also hope that they didn't cover Land of the Lost, which I'm in and received a Razzie nomination for.

Sometimes the podcast even has hilarious guests like Bobby Moynihan.

Love Bobby.

Casey Wilson, who also has another podcast you should check out.

Seth Rogan and Adam Scott.

So what are you waiting for?

Tune in to How Did This Get Made?

The podcast that makes sense out of movies that don't

charlie sheen is an icon of decadence i lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be he's going the distance he was the highest paid tv star of all time when it started to change it was quick he kept saying no no no i'm in the hospital now but next week i'll be ready for the show now charlie sober he's gonna tell you the truth how do i present this with any class i think we're past that charlie we're past that yeah somebody call action yeah aka charlie sheen only on Netflix, September 10th.

We're coming up on what I like to call, I can't decide if it's it Laser Cats, is it Andy's Corona ad, but it is definitely two people in chairs at the beach.

Oh, God, this might be this.

Is it the same uh painted backdrop that uh we use for Laser Cats?

No, this was new for this, yeah, or was this green screen?

Was this full full green screen?

No, this was a backdrop, it was a backdrop, right?

Yeah, this is a backdrop, yeah, it seems pretty and painted.

Yep, and we shot it on the um, what is now your stage, Seth.

It was the Fallon stage.

Oh, really?

You shot it over and down HE?

Yeah.

And also the

doggy style shot was there.

If you look at the background, I think it's kind of like smoked out on that stage.

I love it.

Look at that.

Another piece of history in old studio HE.

Yes, bruv.

That's like great.

The choreography now is...

Yeah, you guys are miming pregnant.

Making the shape of a pregnant belly.

It's just like, if you were confused at all.

So vile.

Only one shot, as I can tell.

There's two shots I love in this, Andy, because we only see them once.

You with Patty on a tandem bike.

We go back to it maybe in the breakdown twice.

I think we hit it twice.

We shot the whole song on that tandem bike and then only used it.

And I remember laughing in Edit about how little we had used it.

But it's really, I mean, it's fun to know that that meant that you put Patty in the back of a tandem bicycle and you were.

physically biking her around.

Were you on a, you must have been on a flatbed?

I want to say process trailer.

okay can we see it i thought we actually did it but maybe we did it you think you actually biked with her i don't think we did well can we can we see i think it was a process trailer all right hold on i'm gonna play it again i feel like you and i did that while q is editing oh yeah

definitely process is that the only time we use it is break it down

i think maybe maybe that also

also look at how good an actor patty clarkson is yeah she's just loving it just enjoying the day you're talking to the camera and she is just wearing a bike helmet looking up at the trees I also like to think that part of you seducing her is you, you know, I've showed up in a tandem bike, but she's still putting safety first.

Oh, you got to wear the helmet.

Yeah, because you're not wearing a helmet, but she's like, I'm going to wear a helmet.

She decided that her character was like on the straight and narrow.

She was like a, how do you, I mean, like a suburban.

Yeah, she was a good mom.

She's just like a regular but totally into it.

Like, there's no doubt on her.

Like a little country club, I think she even said.

She's like a little country club.

I also like that you are not dressed for biking on this one.

Like for the gym, you you dress up, but for this one, you're wearing like a full suit.

This dude does not sacrifice style for comfort ever.

Although there's one coming up that's my second, I think only one shot where it's maybe my favorite outfit you wear in the whole thing.

Oh, okay.

Which is on the tennis courts.

Oh, well, yes.

All right.

So here we go.

Now we're going to break it down.

So this is the break it down.

Break it down.

It would be my honor to be your new stepfather.

It would be my honor to be your new stepfather.

Daddy's skipping.

Yeah.

Just another great cutaway.

I'm just going to take a second here, halfway through that.

That's pinnacle Timberlake, his delivery of that line.

It would be my fun.

It's just, it never, it is joyful noise to me every time I hear it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's also, he's so good at singing.

We just said the same line twice.

Yeah.

Right.

You know what I mean?

You're like, oh, now I like it.

It is very much him, though.

Like, like, right?

Like, I feel like when I hear that, I'm like, only Justin.

That's what I mean.

Like, there's no, right, no imitators.

It is just the most Justin line and it's so funny and yet at the same time, deeply beautiful.

And then

these next two lines, this might be my favorite couplet of the entire Mother Lover.

It's so dark.

Like, oh, those are filthy lines.

Filthy, but also we got jam in there, which is like from the jump with Justin, we were like, Teddy's jam, that whole thing, jam, oh, jam.

Yeah, he's like, well, I'm getting the word jam into this song, and we found the right spot for you.

When did he say it at the end of it?

Is that when he says it?

It's in the middle.

Oh, it's right in the middle of the run that I'm doing.

Right in the middle.

Yeah.

All right, hold on.

Let me.

He goes, Jam.

Jam.

Just a lot happened.

Explain jam.

I mean, it was a moment.

It's like New Jack Swing moment.

There were multiple songs where jam was said a lot is my recollection.

I feel like it was only like about a year or two.

You know, so it was a little bit of a blip, but it was a great blip.

Yeah.

I mean, the band Guy had a song called Teddy's Jam, which is the main reference.

And then I think probably there's a bunch more New Jack swing songs with Jam in it.

So again, I would have said I've watched this a hundred times, and only today did I realize that Justin's on a picnic with Susan Sarandon.

You've got like the nicest picnic basket behind you.

What are they reading, dude?

What is this?

They're reading Looking Deep Terry Bradshaw's autobiography.

I've never noticed that.

Literally, I've never noticed it for our listeners.

I've never known at all that they were reading Terry Bradshaw's book.

Looking Deep by Terry Bradshaw.

Again, if listeners don't know, nobody loves the Steelers more than me.

It's like you did it as a gift to me, but I only realized.

Fucking hell.

Well, you know what's nice about this is that there's a lot of foreplay.

These guys aren't just like hopping in the sheets.

They're fucking going on picnics, reading books out loud to each other.

Yeah, it's Mother's Day.

It's got to be like meaningful and appreciative, you know?

Yeah.

Getting it all warmed up.

Okay.

Well, I don't know if you need to say it that way.

I also want to say, I think Looking Deep is Terry Bradshaw's second book.

Right.

After Man of Steel.

After Man of Steel, yeah.

That's what I was going to guess that it was Man of Steel.

Terry Bradshaw has written a lot of books, guys.

What's your favorite one?

Would you say it's the Bradshaw Family Cookbook?

Probably keep it simple.

Okay.

Yeah.

You kept it simple by choosing that.

Yeah.

Way in in the comments.

I do think the Terry Bradshaw Family Cookbook should don't just overlook that.

Do you want to know my favorite?

It's Only a Game.

Wait, no, don't.

You got to move that back up.

Wait, don't get off the page, so he needs to read the title.

Yeah, my favorite.

Nope, Seth, you're covering it now.

Obviously, my favorite is New England Tree Fruit Management.

I think that's a different terry bradshaw

nope that's him that's them

by the way i forgot i was sharing the screen and i'm like how's andy getting all this

you're telling me that your favorite terry bradshaw the ex-quarterback for the steelers isn't new england tree fruit management

it'd be so funny there's a reason it's out of stock seth uh it'd be so funny if i then opened new england tree fruit management guide which was uh listed and it was just like this book's terrible.

I don't think Terry Brunch knows anything.

Zero stars.

No, I'm in New England right now, guys.

And I perked up.

And the minute Andy said it, I was like, yeah, I got to get that.

I want to manage fruit in New England.

All right, here we go.

All right.

Yeah, keep going.

So, like, while I'm in your mother is so disgusting.

Like, the phrasing is so vile,

and yet everyone, well, not everyone.

Yorm's mom certainly didn't know.

She was

like,

we got away with it, I think.

I think you did.

Do we still?

I don't don't know i also think the i i think that the end of the song has a lot of mom positivity yeah in a way that uh makes it clear that this is a i mean this sounds crazy to say but i was like oh these guys love their moms they really do they truly do

oh yeah

i think we recorded some with you riding the bike all right maybe best i mean 100 best physical gag the picture on the on the bedsand The picture.

I agree.

It's my favorite thing in the video, maybe.

So Andy is about to get with Patty.

Patty reaches over.

There's a picture of it.

For the characters.

Yes.

There's a picture of her son on the bedstand.

She flips it over.

Yeah.

Like, we don't want this looking.

Distasteful.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Her face.

She thinks that's bad.

Ooh, you bad.

So Andy shakes a little finger after she flips over Justin, and then he puts it back up.

Andy wants Justin to watch.

And then Patty does give him a look like, ooh, you bad.

But like, but you bad, but you good.

And now

we're just enjoying.

But wait, wait.

I mean, this is why it's, I do wish we had Keeve.

I feel like maybe the idea for this shot originally was just the first half of it.

Yes.

I'm pretty sure that that is.

And then on set, it somehow was suggested that I flip it back up.

Yeah.

And I don't remember by whom, but I do remember being like, ooh, that's significantly funnier.

It's killer.

I think that is right.

Yeah.

Also, it is a real reminder that she is aware he is your friend and also aware that you are eerily close with him to the point that you want to see a picture of him while you're having sex with his mother.

Yeah, in many ways, like we're doing it for each other's moms, but we're also doing it for each other, as stated.

Another great outfits here.

This is good stuff.

Yeah.

This is, you guys are just dressed up.

You look gray.

You guys are wearing like white suits with,

you're wearing a black shirt with white polka dots.

We're also in a hazed out mist.

A lot of atmosphere in this one.

They blessed us both with the gift of life.

She brought you in this world so life is a little bit of a breath.

Drinking out of a fountain.

Okay.

So musically, maybe my favorite moment in it is when it doubles down and hits, they blessed us both with the gift of life.

Yeah.

She brought you in this world, so I'm a sexy right.

I love, this.

Is the second best idea we've ever had?

Well, yeah, that was.

I remember us being very happy to put that in.

I was just like, we're never going to live up to the first.

But even they, who have been nothing but white-hot enthusiastic this whole song, even they know it was a better idea to put their dicks in boxes.

A thing they got arrested for.

Yeah,

they're riding and dying on that being their best idea.

So hardcore.

This is the second best idea that we've ever had.

Church can be no frozen dancer.

Okay, right at the end.

That is

my favorite dance of all the dick-in-a-box dances.

It's Justin again, dude.

Justin was like, there's got to be a new signature dance for this.

It's like a frozen leg up in the air, and then you guys move it.

Rocking back and forth.

He's like, it has to be so bad.

It's like sort of a robot thing, or I don't even know what to compare it to.

It's fucking great.

It's really terrible.

He's a funny, funny man.

It was just a great idea.

So fucking whack.

I love that it's Justin, the man who spent like so many thousands of tens of thousands of hours choreographing and fucking doing crazy tens of thousands?

Well, you know, 10,000 hours, at least 10,000 hours.

Professional.

Fucking master.

Master sounds.

But to come up with that dance too, to have it in his lexicon is very impressive.

What a treat.

Yeah.

I mean, forgive us.

We just basically jocked ourselves for the entirety of that, but I do feel proud of it.

And it was so much fun to make.

And I cannot tell you the relief we felt when it worked.

Yeah.

And you knew right away.

Like to take, to take that big of a swing, we were scared shitless.

And it's still one of the moments I felt the happiest at SNL was when this aired and worked.

Yeah.

You know, more or less.

It was immediately iconic.

And I remember Patty and Susan, I believe, were both there in the studio to watch it.

Yes.

And that was just so cool because I think we all would have been just happy to see him if they hadn't been in this.

That's right.

You know, so to have two superstars hanging around and then also having them be a part of this massive win for you guys was really something.

It was super fun.

And when they saw it, that was when they learned the premise of what the

oh, so you hadn't told them you were.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Are you kidding?

There's no way they would have said yes.

I remember Patty came to the after party and was like partying, like smashing martinis, just a treat.

Yeah.

I don't remember if Susan did or didn't, but it was very fun.

Bless their hearts.

Thank you again to them

out there in the universe.

It was so, so wonderful of them to do that with us.

Yeah.

I mean, I really, and I'm not just saying it because I saw that Terry Bracho's second book was in it.

I loved watching it today as much as I loved watching it every time.

Major Kim's video, right, guys?

Oh, and we didn't say the tennis.

There's a shot shot of you playing tennis.

One shot on a tennis court.

Right.

You're in a fantastic tennis outfit of the era.

And Patty's behind you, sort of teaching you to do a forehand.

Oh, defo.

We knew where our bread was getting buttered.

And that outfit stinks like shit.

It's so good.

Really?

It makes me want to see those guys skiing.

Like, I'm sure they have pretty dope skiing outfits.

So obviously, I'm hoping there will be some follow-ups on this, and then Keeve can also chime in a little bit.

Yeah, we'll let Keeve listen to the time we spent without him and then maybe the next time we pick it up, he can, you know, because again, I think if this spreads over an episode, I don't think anybody's going to kill it.

He's going to be furious.

He's going to be like, no, no, that is inaccurate.

Inaccurate.

So, Seth, you like to ask if this is criterion.

I do.

Yeah.

I feel like I maybe drop the ball on that a little bit, but come on right now.

Is this criterion?

I mean, this is, this is the one that won.

If this isn't, I don't know what is.

I'll say that.

Definitely one of our best shorts.

God, we fucking love ourselves.

This is so embarrassing.

I know.

Like, Like, thinking about everything I've said now about positive things about myself and our work, now I feel like I hate myself.

Well, hopefully the next one stinks.

Hopefully the next short you guys did stinks hard.

I'm sure it will.

It's a real roller coaster working there.

Oh, next up is Will Farrell's season finale and my secret weapon cut on air.

Oh, the one that didn't air that we do kind of like, though.

Oh, that's fun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And Mugless.

We're definitely going to talk about Mugless.

Oh, we get to talk about my deep-seated anger issues.

Do we have time to talk about the episode in general and maybe get into some Seth's Corner?

There was only one Seth's Corner.

Do you want to sing real quick?

Because I went back and watched it and it wasn't my favorite, but it's interesting.

We got to talk about it.

Seth's Corner, he kind of just poo-pooed it, but he's going to talk about what he did that we take it away.

It was like the pirates of the Caribbean, street performers at Disney World, got a new shipment of props, but it was machine guns and then you cut to like sort of a captain phillips sea pirates opening up a box of uh plastic swords and stuff

okay

yeah and then there was a lot of talking then there was the it was the like i'm the captain now guy on the phone with fedex trying to talk about mix up gotcha and then and how did it play though fine Last sketch of the night.

It was not a bad last sketch of the night.

Was it too dark?

Or like, what did people say?

it kind of it was like a lot of premise and maybe uh the air came out of it a little bit faster than you wanted oh justin wasn't musical guest he wasn't no sierra no but was he in one of her songs yes he was on a song with her right which one love sex magic all right that was a good one

introduced by jessica beal there you go so is there anything else that we want to talk about from the episode seth yeah what do you got there's a target lady yep which is just a treat and i i will say that uh Timberlake was very good at doing the Target Lady vibe.

Hi, girlfriend.

So I strained my neck.

How'd you do that, girlfriend?

I was pushing a washing machine up a hill when my fashion sandal got caught on a decorative yard prick.

Is that not just classic?

Hey, was it Barry Gibb?

There's a Barry Gibb talk show.

Oh, yeah.

I have an opinion that's important.

I don't know how to pass this for matters.

I've less faculty coverage and frame degrees near that elbow patch house.

No, I didn't mean to say that.

I got a degree from the streets of Melbourne, australia so help me god i have a buck knife in my shoe i will split you open like a soft shell crab and wear your carcass like a raincook there you go carcass like a raincoat people were very excited i think for the entirety of this show yeah it was a hot one oh so a fun little note is chris pine leonard emoy and zach quinto were on update another fun note i wrote it and have no memory

gentlemen i've spent many years of my life among trekkies trekkers

and uh they have been some of the greatest years years of my life.

And while it may take some time, I believe that soon they will find you, Chris, to be equal to the original Captain Kirk, and you, Zach, to be slightly less than equal to the original Spock.

Oh,

what?

One of the great, great cuts of all time.

We're talking McDonald's.

Michael McDonald's McDonald's.

Yeah, it happened.

It got cut.

Did it happen twice, or this is the time that we've always been building up to?

I think this is...

Kev, can you tell me?

I know we've talked about, we've talked about Michael McDonald's and McDonald's on this podcast.

I I don't know, but I think this might be the first time.

Oh, no, this is the second time.

But, you know, that's certainly.

They tried it again and it got cut again.

It got cut again.

Which is maybe why I have such a thorn in my foot about it.

You guys, I have it because I asked Yonks for it so I could play it for you guys if you want to see it.

Do you have it right now?

I do have it right now.

Okay, share screen and let's just watch it.

That's right.

It's me.

You know, what a fool believes is that you can't find delicious hamburgers for a reasonable price.

But I'm no fool.

That's why I opened my own fast food restaurant.

Guess what it's called?

McDonald's.

The food is fast.

The price is so fantastic.

But recently it was brought to my attention that there's already a fast food restaurant called McDonald's.

In fact, my friends were pretty shocked that I'd never heard of it.

But hey, my last name is McDonald.

So legally I'm in the clear.

Or so I thought.

Never-ending lawsuits.

Please stop pressing charges.

I'm currently doing over costly court case with the other McDonald's.

They're a pretty large corporation.

And these legal fees are really doing a number on

my bank account.

That's right.

My life is a nightmare.

We also have chicken gullies.

Okay.

Okay.

So it has some

gullies.

It has some gullies.

Yeah.

It has some gullies, but I remember it so well.

For how much I love it, you watch it and you kind of say, yeah.

I get why we didn't do it.

I get why we didn't do it.

That being said, watching it again also made me happy all over again because I love it so much.

I love it so much.

But on a really hot show where everything's killing and there's no downbeats, you can see how it needed a little bit more work.

Well, the problem, and again, you said it needed more work and it should be noted, it's been like 18 months months since they tried it once, and they definitely didn't write a single new line.

Yeah, yeah, that's fair.

That's very fair.

Now, who's that?

Colin Joe?

That's Colin Joe's.

But Colin Joast, I do remember, we've talked about this, like we pitched lines about what Michael McDonald could sing about the legal trouble he was in due to the fact that he opened a hamburger restaurant called Michael McDonald's, and it's the hardest Emily Spivey ever laughed in her life.

And we printed them all out.

We printed them all out and framed it for her on our last show.

Oh, that's literally every joke we pitched.

But yeah, like it's such a dense premise that Michael McDonald's opened his own McDonald's and then most of the lines are about how he's in just deep legal trouble.

But like it's very funny, but the actual leading like detail of the piece is that Justin sounds fucking exactly like him and incredible.

So it's, it's also that SNL thing of like, when someone can sing so well and the impression is so on point, it takes it to another dimension.

Yes, but I also feel like it's almost so good that people are like, wait, what?

Like they just want to enjoy it.

And like the premise is like too much for them.

Right.

Fair enough.

Yeah.

Also, maybe just that audience doesn't know Michael McDonald the same way a lot of other people.

You know what I mean?

Like when Ariana Grande is doing Celine Dion or Bruno Mars is doing that sketch where he's like playing all the different pop songs and stuff and sounds exactly like them.

I think everyone knows every reference because it's like right down the middle of this moment stuff.

I I mean, I guess Celine Dion.

I don't know.

I can't speak to that.

But Celine Dion had just been in

an NFL ad when she did that.

So it made.

The Super Bowl, no less.

Yeah, right.

Which actually says, I don't know if you know this, is quite high viewership.

The Super Bowl?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Well, that's good for them.

Yep.

That's all right.

That's me making that noise.

They put the time in, though, you know, for the Super Bowl.

Some of the ads, some of the ads can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Cecily, I like your readers.

Thank you, bud.

I'm feeling pretty good about my readers.

Yeah.

What else?

All right, you guys.

Well, congratulations anew on the work you did on Mother Lover.

It really is a triumph all these years later.

Thank you, Seth Lee.

Yes.

And I love you.

And I love you.

And a happy fourth to you.

Yep.

Yeah.

I love Keeve.

Yep.

I hope when Keeve listens to this, he knows how much we love him.

Keeve, we love you.

Keeve, we're talking to you.

You know,

this was about one that everybody remembers, but I think the next episode is going to be really special because it's about one that nobody knows anything about.

Ooh, I love that tease.

Yeah, that will be fun.

I'll love that too.

All right.

Bye, guys.

Bye.

Have fun with your families.

Love to everybody.

Later, Quaits.
