The lonely Ivan and Seth Meyers podcast show

Seth.

Oh, I'll wait.

Hey, don't fall into your fireplace, loser.

This guy sat up in front of a fireplace.

I hope this loser doesn't fall in and burn alive in his own fireplace.

That would be so quirky.

It definitely quirky.

Hey,

don't tell people I have a fireplace.

It makes it easier for them to track me down.

It's not functional, I can tell.

Look for the chimney.

Hey, don't fall into your ornamental fireplace, New York.

We were told we could make it functional at a cost that was equal to what we paid for the apartment.

Seth, before we get going, I want to just get this out of the way.

Yeah.

Hints or clean?

I'll tell you when it's clean.

So

just want to get this out of the way.

Every day, Andy finishes the bee and he texts me that he got it clean.

I've never gotten it once clean in my life.

I'm going to make a big deal about it when it's clean.

All right, great.

Yeah.

By the way, saying I text you every day and say I got it clean is insane.

I do not get it clean every day.

80%?

Just the last two for sure.

And that's for sure.

But I had a little cold streak last week.

Yorm, you know, we texted.

Do you have a do you have the hat, Andy?

I'd like to see it again if you have it on hand.

I don't have it on me, but I can show you a photo of it.

Okay, yeah, please.

I thought it was a genuinely cool design.

I think nothing says mail connection like a Zoom where one person shows another person a photo of a hat on their phone.

Yeah, certainly the kind of friendship we're having.

Long distance.

There it is.

You do the best you can.

There it is.

There's the B hat.

Yeah, it's got a B and it's got a little crown.

I'm going to get one that says solid.

Yeah.

Sometimes you got to just hashtag dance like a dad.

Hashtag dance like a dash.

Hey, can we do a quick loop back to an episode before we get to like a boss?

Seth, pardon my volume, but I'd love to.

I'd like to talk about the rock episode, Dwayne, the Rock Johnson episode.

Okay, fine.

Because there was something very special that happened.

And Joram, I hope I'm not going to put you on the spot here, but

could you sing real quick?

Could you sing us into Seth and Keeve's Corner?

Oh, I wonder what this is.

Seth and Keeves Corner, the two of them paired up.

What are they going to talk about?

Take it away.

Seth and Keeve.

I believe, Keeve, that you were the one who had the idea for The Rock Obama.

Oh, no.

Well, I'll take it, but I don't think so.

I do.

I think you came to me and you said, for real, I have this.

Do you think it was you, Andy?

I know it was me.

I apologize, Andy.

Damn.

I apologize.

Almost, I know, remember even better, Seth, which was it was my pitch on Monday.

Oh,

by the way, I'm looking at the rundown now.

I should have done my, it is Sandberg slash Myers.

So, yeah.

And you came to me after and you're like, hey, you're not really going to write that, right?

I was like, no.

And you're like, good, because I actually think I will.

And I'll give you right, I'll loop you in on it and I'll put you in it or whatever.

And I was like, if you got to, you had a great part in it.

It was basically, this was right after the bailout.

And basically, Obama's getting a lot of credit for keeping his cool at the time because the whole economy was a shit show, not of his making.

Yeah.

And he had to get everything back.

And people were saying, you know, he should be a little bit harder and more temperamental with Republicans who are sort of holding up this bailout plan.

And so the Rock Obama, which was obviously Andy just making words sound the same,

was Fred as Obama and then Andy as Ram Emanuel and just keep telling him like, that's it.

Get angry.

Get angry.

And then we did just sort of an old school 80s TV Bruce Banner shot of Fred's face getting angry.

And then I remember we filmed Dwayne Johnson like flexing his muscle and ripping a shirt, which he did with no problem.

Yeah, he had no problem doing it.

And then it came up on him.

And then the title was The Rock Obama and everybody was super psyched.

And then he kind of talked.

He did like a very he did like half Hulk half Obama impression.

And he kept chucking people out the window.

The Rock Obama, much like Barack Obama, only stronger and

more impulsive.

Now.

Where were we?

You little man in suit?

Yes,

I guess what I was just saying was there are, you know, some special projects in this build that, you know, don't smell right to me.

Hmm.

Here's an interesting point, but

me no like.

Yeah, I remember it playing great.

It was super fun.

It was everything people wanted from the moment.

Yes.

This was not Seth and Cave.

The actual segment was Andy Ann Myers.

Take it away, guys.

There you go.

Good work cleaning that up, Jorm.

Jorm has a real integrity to his corner songs that he doesn't want to.

They're always going to be true.

Another thing I remember is the imitable Phil Himes, who was the lighting director at SNL from the first episode, May He Rest in Peace.

Inimitable or imitable?

Inimitable?

Does that mean that there were no...

Imitable would mean he's easily imitable.

Well, do your imitation of Phil Himes.

It's not going to work.

Oh, so he is imitable, because that's pretty good.

Phil Himes, I'm worried that I've told this story, but I was watching it back and I think this was the sketch.

He was super mad at me.

He lit Kennedy in the White House the first time they shot in the White House.

He was the LD.

Wow.

Like in the 60s.

That's how long he was doing this.

And I basically, for comedy, put a window where there wasn't a window in the Oval Office because the Rock Obama had to throw people out the window.

Oh, yes.

And he like came out of the floor.

He's like, there's no fucking window in there.

And I'm like,

buddy.

I'm like, nobody cares.

He's like, I care.

How long have you been on the job?

Yeah.

It's SNL.

He's like, nobody.

He goes, yeah, I'm not going to.

And by the way,

the reason I know he lit Kennedy is I believe he stood in front of everybody and go, I lit John fucking Kennedy.

That was how you first suspected.

Yeah, he announced it to everyone.

By the way, that many years in to care that much is kudos.

Oh, the best.

Yes, but also like it's SNL.

Every 10th sketch has a window to get someone get thrown through, right?

How else are you going to end the sketch?

It's Chekhov's window.

If there's a window, someone must go out of it.

Wait, Andy, the other great Phil Himes story, and I'm going to ask you to,

well, I'm going to tell it, but then I would love you to say the dialogue.

Oh, okay.

Billy Bob Thornton was hosting, and he was running his monologue wearing his baseball hat.

Yeah.

And Phil Himes came up out on the floor and said to someone else, somebody tell him to take his hat off.

Right.

And then Billy Bob Thornton basically was like, Hey, old man.

Hey, old man.

If you got something to say, if you got something to say, say it to my face.

Say it to my fucking face.

I added something.

I don't know if you noticed.

Yeah, you did.

Now, I also want to clarify: Billy Bell Thornton did not do this in front of everybody.

He walked off stage and he went and he talked to Phil Himes about it.

Very man-to-man.

Yeah, class.

And Phil, who I never saw do this, Phil had a real like, I apologize.

Nice.

Like, there was a real like two decent men of honor.

Oh, yeah.

Just two guys meeting at high noon, deciding not to fight.

We like that.

It's great.

Something else I would like to mention very quickly, just so we can play a clip.

There was a really funny sketch.

There's two sketches I want to talk about from Dwayne, the Rock Johnson show.

One was called Hawaiian Hotel, and I hadn't watched it for a long time.

And it was basically Fred and Dwayne as people at a Hawaiian hotel who were like playing a Hawaiian song and just sort of dancing over to different tables and then being super mean to the tourists.

And then there would be an awkward pause and then they would sing this super light, frothy Hawaiian song.

And also,

Fred's voice was like a crazy register.

Yeah, gotta challenge himself.

But also, Dwayne is a really funny dancer.

Like, you could tell he had danced like that before.

Oh, yeah.

Ceremonially.

So it's a great big laugh every time they dance off.

Well, Hawaii is a beautiful place to live.

Yeah, I should have seen it before.

It was covered covered in hotels.

Yeah, it's a fun fact about Hawaii.

Our biggest export is coffee, and our biggest import is fat white tourists.

But then there's a sketch that I might claim is peak joast, and that sketch is to the lighthouse.

Do you remember to the lighthouse?

I do not.

To the lighthouse, you're in it, Andy.

Fuck.

I'm so glad you can't remember these things.

It's just the live stuff.

I was out of body, I guess, for all the live stuff.

Okay.

The rock brings Kristen back to his lighthouse.

So it starts with them interior top of a lighthouse and they walk in.

And Dwayne's like, so this is my place.

And Kristen goes, wow, you live in a lighthouse.

That is so romantic.

Kristen, I'll be the judge of that.

They move in a kiss.

Dwayne says, and again, this is like six lines into it.

Like, just credit to Joseph for how quickly the game is established.

Hold on, let me just set the mood.

Reaches over, flips a light switch.

The spotlight at the lighthouse dies, and then you immediately hear a horrible shipwreck.

You know what?

I'm just gonna turn this light back on.

Shame to help!

Captain, the beacon!

It shines!

But where was it before?

Oh, what evil trick is this?

Now that's a really fun game, but then there's another game, which is Dwayne The Rock Johnson's character is filthy in this sketch.

Kristen said, Do you hear that?

It sounds like screaming.

I hear my heart screaming that it wants you.

And then Dwayne says, let me throw in a little music.

He says, Do you like salsa?

Kristen, I like eating it.

Dwayne, then I hope your ears are hungry.

And then he claps to do a salsa dance.

And then the lighthouse light is hooked up to the clapper.

Yeah.

Goes out again.

Immediately, a second shipwreck.

And now Bill and Bobby are on the rocks with you as a second captain and first mate.

I guess this lighthouse is hooked up to the clapper, huh?

Our ship for tournaments ducked up!

Did someone just yell rocks?

Saint Carmel has forsaken us!

Our vessel is ruined!

But what of the lighthouse?

Is no one

Maybe I should just keep this on.

Are you sure there's no one down there?

No, it's whales, and they say the only way to calm them is with the sound of two near strangers making love.

But they'll also accept a BJ.

Oh my god.

And then Kristen says, I'm gonna go down there.

And Duane said, that's what I like to hear.

Oh, wait.

You mean go check on the people?

Oh, he's a dirt dog.

Dirt dog.

And then Dwayne says, do you like margaritas?

Kristen says, no, I adore them.

One margarita coming up.

He turns on the blender.

The lights go out again.

Close the views.

And then it cuts to Sedakis as a jet ski guy on the rocks.

Now here, again, I've left out the one other great note.

And do you still not remember this part of it, Andy?

Honestly, I don't remember it at all.

How embarrassing.

Jokes gave a note between Dress and Air to the crew to literally just soak you guys with buckets of water.

Ah, that sounds familiar.

So, in between each line, they're throwing a full bucket of water on you guys.

It is so fucking funny.

And the audience is delighted because they can just tell it's more water than you were expecting.

Yeah, we definitely didn't want that much.

Good for Joast.

Way to be in control of this catch.

So, a third layer.

What the hell?

Okay, now what was that?

Hey, how am I?

How am I supposed to take a midnight jet ski if there's no lighthouse?

Steal yourself, man.

There's a sea beast, Yavanas.

Running through!

And then the next time we cut back, Jason is dead and has like four pieces of wood sticking out of his back.

So they killed him.

Oh, we thought he was a sea beast.

Yeah, because you're old-timey sea captains, and he's a modern.

There's time travel happening because he's a jet ski guy

got you but anyway to the lighthouse check it out everybody and you got to remember this is before the movie the lighthouse yes yeah like way before way before changes everything this is the final sketch of the night makes sense last sketch i think you wouldn't want to soak the floor the way they did if there were more sketches to go yeah you're just asking somebody to skid out on their way to the next thing otherwise also that bj line probably wouldn't have played good at the top of the show yeah i think that's probably true as well Anyway, one of my favorite Joe sketches.

And now we're to the Seth Rogan episode.

And I kind of want to just turn it over to you guys.

And like a boss, where did the inspiration for this one come from?

So this is from the record.

Not that that's the inspiration, but it's a, you know, back in Encino again, right?

Yep.

It would be funny if that was the inspiration.

If you thought that was the answer to the question, like, yeah, it was on the album.

So we just

inspired to make the video for it.

Okay, well, go back one step.

It was super inspiring.

Yeah, guy named what Brain Busters said.

I was listening.

I woke up that morning and was like, I want to listen to some good music.

So I turned on our album that had just come out.

And I was like, whoa, I'm inspired by this one song to make a video.

That's where it keeps.

It's the guy who's bad at answering interview questions.

Wait, just a tangent for a second.

Keith, speaking of, I want to listen to some good music, will you explain your Alexa little

foray into talking to Alexa about our music?

Oh, yeah.

I'm honestly trying to remember it.

We have a video on our YouTube of it, but what was the phrase exactly basically it was hot trash i think hot garbage hot garbage yeah yeah yeah like chicago alexa please play hot garbage but that was just real right our record it was we were doing bash brothers and then they said hey alexa will do a crossover thing and help promote the record i think it was also for our tour yes we were in rehearsals for the tour and we recorded it at that studio exactly and it was like you can make alexa have a special keyword and it'll play Lonely Island songs.

And they showed us other artists that were like, hey, Alexa, play, like it was like a little wayne saying, like, play some dope shit or something.

And then it would play Lil Wayne.

And so we made it play some hot garbage.

Play some hot garbage.

Now, playing songs by the Lonely Islands.

And it really worked.

Yeah.

I don't know if it still works.

I don't know if it still works.

I think the video's on our Instagram or YouTube of us doing it, but it will work for anyone.

I don't know if it still works.

Please,

somebody out there, try it out.

And if it doesn't, we got to re-up it because that was great.

It's a pretty great promo.

You know, when you do a special thing like that and then it doesn't exist anymore, it can hurt.

Like, just off the top of my head, I created a signature hamburger for Umami Burger called the Samburger.

It's a Samburger, of course.

Very delicious.

What else would it be?

Pretty sure 90% why they asked me is my name.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And Keeve, you were there, right?

When we tried them all.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

We had to go to their main test kitchen in downtown LA and try lots of different bespoke burgers to Andy's taste.

So fun.

A bunch of them were based on ideas I had pitched.

One of them was the one it ended up being, which was like a Chicago dog themed hamburger which i love chicago dogs because akiva put me up on them i never really liked them and then he showed me them and now i love them so much but that was the one we ended up doing and it was very delicious and i often crave it and wish i could have it but it just went away after like a month so this is a shout out to umami put that sandburger back on the menu is that technically a shout out though or is it more like a plea it's a plea it's a beg It's like a digital beg.

Or if there's any other burger spots out there that want to try and recreate it.

This was years before Wahlburgers, I just want to say.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

And before the Lighthouse.

Do you think that's how Wahlberger got his revenge about your impression?

He killed the Samburger.

He killed the Samburger.

If that was how it worked, because that shit made a hell of money.

He can't wait for the day to see you and say, say bye to your burger for me.

Oh, my God.

He's been at that loaded for 10 years.

He's had that loaded.

Yeah, but like a boss.

Well, there was a, there was, we're in 2009, and from 2005 to 2009, there was many songs about being a boss

out there.

Yeah.

We listened to a lot of those.

The one we listened to the most was when we were shooting Hot Rod.

We listened to Rick Ross's first album, I think his first album, Port of Miami.

Is that what it is?

I don't know if it's his first, but it was the first to us.

Yeah.

It was the first one we really got up and we would play that album almost every morning.

We shared a trailer on Hot Rod.

It was a big, old, nice trailer, but we shared it.

And we would blast that.

And, you know, there's a song on that album called Boss.

There was

Just Another Day in the Life of the Goddamn Boss.

What is that?

T-Pain and it's a Rick Ross.

And Rick Ross.

And that was one of the big T-Pain

ones that even kind of fit into the boat territory, honestly.

Yeah.

Yorm, can you sing it real quick?

No.

But the Young Jeezy, I feel like there was a...

The Young Jeezy?

No.

Well, there's the Meek Mill Rick Ross song, also called I'm a Boss.

I'm a Boss.

And then, of course, Slim Thug Like a Boss, which is that and

the Rick Ross one, I think, musically influenced it the most.

But like, it was a boss moment, Seth.

Yeah.

There was a boss moment.

There was a moment where a lot of people were saying, I'm the boss.

I am like a boss.

It's a little bit like a Santana champ, right?

Yes.

Although this is a direct parody.

Slim Thug said the phrase, like a boss, a bunch on like a boss.

So there is that.

But it was in the culture for years and years.

And every time in every version, there would be some sort of lame joke made.

I'm not going to say which of the three of us made it, but where you would take boss literally and be like, so can you file that report for me?

Or whatever it is.

Was there that?

I feel like, I feel like immediately every time Boss would come up, we would be like, there's something funny about that word.

Like, oh, my boss is writing me, but then

how it was being used.

Okay.

Well, you came up with the song, Andy.

You tell me why you did it.

I don't know.

I don't remember us joking about it beforehand, but I know that that was what happened.

It was, I mean, it's slightly embarrassing because it's so basic it's but yeah it was one of the days i was in the stude and i started just writing it and i was like what if the boss was like a boss at an office isn't that funny i mean i remember coming out and keith being there and being like hey come help me write this and he came in i had already written like the first eight lines of it or something and i was like and then it just keeps going and then we wrote it very very quickly and didn't think much of it i thought it was going to be kind of like i I mean, the whole song is like a minute 40 something, minute 50.

We thought it was going to be sort of like a filler track.

Yeah, like almost an interlude because the premise is so first thought.

Yeah.

But it shows how execution is everything.

I was definitely in the room for this one because I was engineering this one.

Yeah.

There you go.

Support comes from factor.

Jorm.

Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb.

Yorm,

you travel a lot.

You like staying in houses.

Yeah, well, when I was hanging out with Tommy Hanks in Pittsburgh, I actually stayed in Airbnb up on a hill.

I can't remember the name of the hill, but it was overlooking the city.

It was a Perimo, and it was a very good location.

You know what they say about real estate cave?

They say location, location, location.

And this had the location.

It was very easy to get to everything.

And yeah, it was clean.

And I loved staying there.

You know, Seth's story about where he stayed was also a Pittsburgh story.

And then we also have been talking a lot about Pittsburgh.

It just feels like we're kind of Pittsburgh guys.

Yeah.

Go to Pittsburgh, stay near Goosekis.

I bet there was an Airbnb right near there.

I went to Pittsburgh once and I stayed in a hotel.

And honestly, I would have preferred an Airbnb because when you have an Airbnb, you have a kitchen and especially if you got kids, that's really key.

And you might even have a washer-dryer and that's pretty key.

And it's nice to not just be sharing walls with strangers and to be in your own space.

Yeah.

But let me flip it on you, Joran.

Let me flip this on you.

Ooh, okay.

Getting real now.

We've been talking about when you are traveling and you're in someone else's house, but what about your house?

First, you create a welcoming space for others.

You get the joy of sharing a home with travelers and you get extra income that can allow you to travel more or other life goals.

You know, I don't think they're going to micromanage how you spend your money after you get it.

You use it how you see fit.

Yeah, whatever hobbies you got.

Yeah.

But Airbnb is great as both traveler or as a host.

You have no idea what your house is worth right now.

You might be sitting on a little gold mine, might be able to pay off that mortgage and get yourself a little ice cream on the side.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, your home could be worth more than you think.

Find out how much at airbnb.com/slash notes.

I just ended your head for you.

Thank you.

Do you guys want to keep going and then we'll stop start and go through it?

Because I feel like this one deserves that treatment.

Sure.

Here it is, like a boss, featuring Seth Rogan.

Let me just say Seth Rogan in the Parnell role from Natalie Rap.

Correct.

But on the album, it's me.

Yeah, on the album, it was Akiba.

That's correct.

So the album's done and it's out for two months now.

So this was an interesting thing, too, where I was like happy to hand it over to Seth Rogen, but no one made us do it.

But we knew we're making a, or it's for SNL and it should have the host.

And I don't know, I'm clear-headed enough to be like, hmm, if I was an audience member, what would be more exciting?

Me introducing it or Seth Rogen, the movie star who's very hot on all these comedy movies right now.

I think probably the host.

But at dress, I remember that when it started, like four different people were like, that's supposed to be fucking cave.

Yeah, yeah.

And it warmed my heart.

And I was like, no, no, it's cool.

It was even my idea to take myself out, guys.

Well, at air i was going to say at air you came out and you gave a speech yeah and you were like guys i chose this yeah i'm also a producer on it and i can see the big picture i i don't want you to compliment me too much about this about i'm so big a man i need to step aside

i will also say keeve like it's easier to hand something over if it's not your actual like verse right yes just kind of like the skit part and we're making a skit show we had done it a couple of times we did it with glerk we did it with uh Dear Sister.

So I'm not like mad about it.

No, no, no, no, no.

You're not still mad about it.

But it's a nice little thing for people that when they hear it on the album, they're like, oh, it's my mae man Keith.

Yeah.

Or for the people that were confused about this.

One other thing, though, I'll say before you dive into the step-by-step of it,

just to continue on the thought of that we didn't think much of it.

We weren't ever thinking this was going to be a video one.

And then our label told us that I believe the quote was like, the kids around the office really like that one.

Do you remember that, you guys?

Wow.

I don't remember that.

They're like, oh, yeah, like some of the guys at their cubicles or whatever in their offices, like that have the record and are helping put it together and promo and all that have been pointing out that they like this song.

And that sort of turned us around on it.

I love it.

So this is, we do credit to the kids who are now a full, but I want you to, before you give them too much credit, know that every one of them now is likely married with children.

The kids love them.

Kids love them.

They were old enough to work for a record label.

Do you know the other time that we heard somebody say something similar like that, a record label executive to an equally famous artist?

Oh, yeah, when we were recording with Rihanna.

Yeah, and it was L.A.

Reed.

L.A.

Reid came in.

He was like, I got to say, I'm hearing that the kids really like Rude Boy.

Wow.

But it was not a single yet.

And he came and sat on our ratty couch in our office because we were recording Rihanna.

And then like a month later or something or two months later, it came out as a single.

And we were like, whoa, we were there and heard that convo.

Yep.

And sure enough, just part of history you know good song all right here we go

so that's seth that's seth he's walking he's got a mustache mr sandberg thanks for coming to your performance review no problem so you're in charge around here is that fair to say absolutely i'm the boss okay so take us through a day in the life of the boss well the first thing i do is talk to corporate approve memos lead a workshop remember birthdays

paulapell paulapel yeah this one has some writers in it we had a little Paulapelle, who's now a well-known actor in her own right.

Let me just jump in and say, so I'm watching it for the first time, and I'm thinking, okay, the comedy is going to be super aggressive about boss stuff.

Yeah.

Now, shame on me for thinking that there aren't going to be some twists and turns in the hands of the Lonely Island.

I mean, he did say it's a day in the life of, and days are long, you know, lots can happen in a day.

Yeah, it's a day in the life.

And right now, I would say, like, you know what?

None of the things he's doing seem cool to me, but he's enthusiastic about it.

And, you know, who am I to judge his happiness about the kind of boss he is?

Yeah, normal boss stuff.

Jorm, you almost sang the T-Pain lyric that Andy asked you to sing.

Yeah.

Just another day in the life of the goddamn boss.

That's right.

Goddamn boss.

Can you slide that so me and Keeve are exactly synced?

Perfect.

And auto-tune us, please.

And also auto-tune us.

And then also replace us with T-Pain.

Wait,

when are we going to hear the new theme song?

Oh, the one you asked for?

The Alvin and the Chimong?

Is it going to be in this episode?

I think it should be because I still haven't heard it, so I want to hear it live.

Yeah.

Spoiler.

Just take a little break for it.

Yeah, let's take a little break.

Take a take a break.

Greg Chun once again has risen to the occasion.

And we have a new theme song in the style of Alvin and the Chipmunks that Jorm's going to hear for the first time.

Yeah, I haven't heard it.

I bet it's flattering.

means.

Voice notes from cool folks abound.

Disgusting and easy

sounds.

Join us almost once a week.

It's the happiest place you can be.

It's the Lonely Island Seth Meyers podcast show.

Andy!

Wait.

Oh, Andy's Alvin?

Oh, fuck.

Seth yelled it last show.

You were there.

Only in his mind.

And it's because you ate it.

That was a big bite of an apple, and then you yelled Andy.

Andy's Alvin?

That's just Greg's interpretation of it, Jorm.

I was doing a theater.

Voice notes from cool folks abound.

Disgusting Andy eating sounds.

So it's all pulled right from the headlines of last week's episode.

It's really nice.

It's really nicely done.

He's got his finger on the pulse of the cast.

And since we've totally, you know, broken up the momentum of like a boss, Andy, you want to give a shout out to Jack Quaid making his breakfast?

Jack Quaid, what's up, my man?

You making your Becky?

A little Becky Beck?

Or is it dinner time?

Mac and cheese.

In my mind,

Jack Quaid eats his mac and cheese.

I think he's got roommates.

It's a little bit sloppy there.

He's like living like a 22-year-old.

Is he like a

PlayStation 5?

He's like starred in many movies and shows.

He's got a bunch of...

He's an adult man, but he stares an apartment with four 22-year-olds.

He's 33, but yeah, yeah, he's hanging out with a bunch of 22-year-olds in a frat house.

It's like a sitcom situation for that.

And they're always like, Quaid, Quade, he shouted you out again.

I made some split hot dogs on this.

I just held him over the stove top and no pan.

He's always walking around to his roommates going, you're going to eat that?

Somebody did write a comment.

I love that this podcast has turned into some kind of psychological experiment solely targeting Jack Quaid.

Jack, I hope that it's enjoyable.

All right, back to the song.

So again, if you remember, as we return to the song, things are pretty normal.

Andy's just a guy who's happy about being a boss.

Yeah, right now we're just like, hey, the office is a hot show.

We're in that world.

It's office culture.

Yeah.

And how many seconds in are we?

We were about 26 seconds in.

I'm going to go back like three seconds to get a little rolling.

Here we go.

There's Paula again.

Remember birthdays, direct workflow, my own bathroom, micromanage, remote synergy.

Micromanage Milani there.

Yep, little baby Milanes.

Remote synergy.

A young Milani.

Look at it, how felt he looks.

Milaney looks nine.

Yeah.

He looks crazy young.

He looks like Simon Ridge.

He looks like Quaid's roommates.

What's up?

Oh, that Quaid.

Sorry.

I was like, from total recall?

Now I'm getting confused.

Do you think we set decked this cubicle, or do you think this was just a real person's cubicle somewhere in the building?

Set-decked.

Set decoration.

So this guy's a sports nut.

He's got Yankees.

He's got a Super Bowl pool.

Yep.

What floorway was this on?

17.

We're definitely in the building.

Just some shutdown floor.

Hit on Deborah.

Get rejected.

Swallow sadness.

Send some faxes.

Call a sex line.

Cry deeply.

Command a refund.

Eat a bagel.

Harassment lawsuit.

No promotion.

Fit the vodka.

On Deborah's desk.

Buy a new.

I like that you brought a newspaper.

Yeah, well, it premeditated.

Yeah, it's a very nice detail.

You're right, Keith.

He wasn't just shitting on her desk.

He knew it would take so long that he also wanted to get his newspaper reading in.

Yeah, and he knew that he needed to shit on a desk, but it wasn't like he had one locked and loaded.

He was like, this may take a while, specifically because I'm doing it at a time when I normally wouldn't.

So basically, Deborah's failure to welcome your advances has sent you on a real spiral.

I mean, on a daily spiral.

We might be dealing with an untrustworthy narrator here.

The eating a dry bagel on a paper plate over the sink, I remember we talked about a lot, like in terms of, I remember saying the words aloud to whoever was doing props and pregnant.

Like, no, no, no, he'll just be eating it with like a paper plate over the sink like very it wasn't random it was very specific like what's the saddest way you can eat a bagel it had to suck bad yeah it's really I do like the check back in with Rogan though like just that it's being told to a guy the whole time is a nicer little reminder of like and then they're aggressively talking to him about it so we I like we've bought a gun we know that's what's happened uh also Jorm that's you serving the yeah me and Keith make a little cameos Jorm serving papers Keith selling drugs sell the gun right didn't he sell you the gun that's what I meant.

Yeah.

Yep, we got that.

We had wig and sidekicks, but they're cast.

I mean, I just want to point out for a boss, all it took was one thing going a little bit wrong for you to just fall to pieces.

Once again, we're working in the tradition of the classics, Seth.

It's an untrustworthy narrator situation.

Gotcha.

But you're the narrator.

All right, never mind.

Yorm, what's the most famous novel that you've read that has an untrustworthy narrator?

Great.

Great.

Don't say Confederacy of Dunces, dude.

Do not fucking do it.

Don't dunce us again.

Don't fucking, don't you do it.

I'm really thinking.

I don't read much these days, guys.

And if you're gonna read, Yorm's always said to me, if I'm gonna read, the narrator gotta be trustworthy.

Damn straight.

I don't got enough books in me to be jerked around.

That's why I don't read that much.

There's not enough of them.

Don't ask Keeve because he'll say the Constitution and then we're gonna have a whole thing.

Oh, here we go again.

That's good.

Here we go.

gun in my mouth.

Oh, crap, man.

I can't ever do it.

Should I be playing the clean one?

Not because we don't curse, but because then we hear the SNL laughs, see what they're going for.

Oh, well, I like hearing the dirtiness.

I feel like that's taken us back into the world a little more.

Can I ask a question?

Do we have the shot in the SNL airing one where the gun is actually in my mouth?

Because I feel like that maybe would have been a point of contention.

Oh, but wait, I forgot to point out the best thing about the page we were just on, though.

Let's see if it loads it the same.

It did.

See over here?

Yeah, Seth Meyer's Closet Picks, Criterion Closet.

Oh, yeah.

Four hours ago.

I'm excited.

15,000 views in four hours, Seth.

I'm excited to see what kind of stuff.

What's that?

How'd I do?

15K in four hours.

Hey, Seth.

Can I tell you?

Because you know that I, yeah.

Congrats on all your success.

Thank you.

You know, I obviously read YouTube comments now for content.

You know, I read our YouTube comments to see what people say.

Right.

Sure.

And I read my show's comments for corrections.

And so I'm in a bad habit of reading the comments.

And somebody was like, I fucking hate when non-directors do Criterion Closet.

It's just for people who like movies, guys.

Oh, yeah.

Tons of actors have done it.

Give me a break.

Also, I would say that out of anyone's opinion that I respect, like you and Neil Brennan, if you like something, I'm like, oh, okay.

I'll pay attention.

Whereas, you know, me and Kiva are directors.

Akiva is pretty lax, I would say, with his likes sometimes.

I like a lot of stuff.

He's like, oh, fuck yeah.

I'm like, oh, I don't know about that.

I am lax.

All right, here we are with Lax.

We're going to see what you did on that gun moment.

It was faster.

Yeah, no, it's not in the show.

You didn't put it in your mouth.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, you're right.

I was wrong.

I was right.

Oh, crap, man.

I can't ever do it.

No.

Oh, my God.

You're shit.

Schneer the clean version.

Instead of shit.

Schneer.

Instead of shit.

Schneer.

It's a great sound.

Fuck.

Puke on Depper's desk.

Jump out the window.

There's one of those Phil Himes windows.

Jekoff's windows.

Although this is the short.

He was not even near it.

I wish I could go one frame at a time, but somebody in the comments will tell me how to go on a YouTube clip one frame at a time.

Is that me jumping out the window?

I think it is.

That's not an easy window to jump out of.

Was it really you, Andy?

No, you didn't do that.

He did not let you jump through that.

No way.

Is it a stunt guy or is that me?

It has to be a stunt guy.

It's a good jump.

If it's you, Andy, it's a good jump.

It's a stunt, man.

It's got me.

Yeah, I would be.

I mean, I did that live a few times, but not maybe with that much momentum.

His ass.

You could have easily hit the bar, though, and hurt yourself.

I love this take when you go running by Bill to suck a dude's dick, but both of you guys have some pretty good, like, body whips in this.

You're very whippy, Muppety.

It's a very cartoon-like.

They should have a break sound of this guy's.

It's like if two Muppets were like doing Fallatio.

AKA, all of our fantasy.

Here we go.

Let's see it.

Whoa,

that's a nice cut.

Speed.

Nice edit.

And the speed in which you had to do it.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

It's got a nice boomerang momentum to it.

I wonder if there was, man, now I need both versions.

I'm curious if we had more, if it was more graphic in the other version or not, because we cut out of that fast.

And also, maybe we see me do some Coke in our version.

Yes.

Yeah.

I'm so glad we did a visual unedited version.

Very exciting.

Yeah, we didn't usually do it.

Yeah, but we'd already recorded the song for our album, so, you know, went in Rome.

Suck a

He was the best.

Yeah, he was the best.

A lot happened pretty quickly.

Yeah, in 10 seconds, quite a lot happened.

Very, very fun shot of you sucking your own dick.

Yeah, yes, that was precursor to the Huntress Digital Short.

Yeah, yeah, that's how we learned how to shoot it.

We learned a lot.

Is the tombstone at the end the best?

Is that a reference to was that already a college thing?

I think that was already a college thing.

We the best?

Yeah, I believe so.

Yes, but it's a great fish.

This is one of my favorite.

Andy, having sex with that fish, because your face is demented.

Like, you are a straight-up breakfast effector.

Did they make that fish for us?

Because this is our one set where this is a.

If ever a breakfast defector, there were.

You demented, bro.

You definitely have fourth meal.

Oh, my God.

Don't ask a Cuba about the Constitution, Seth.

He will

go off.

Fucking unreliable narrators all the way.

The Founding Fathers?

Yeah, let's start there, brother.

More like them founding liars.

No patriot is he.

But the fish fish is great.

It's a giant fish.

It's a really good fish.

Yeah, you're really enjoying yourself.

Well, not enjoying yourself.

You don't seem to be enjoying fucking his brains out.

Oh, and the fish comes back in the 100th digital shirt as well.

You know, precursor.

Oh, yeah.

But can we play out?

I will say my favorite part, though, is just the interaction with you and Rogan at the end and just what a dumb dude you are.

Right.

Uh-huh.

So that's an average day for you then?

No doubt.

You chop your b off and die.

Hell yeah.

And I think at one point there, you said something about sucking your own.

Nope.

Actually, I'm pretty sure you did.

Nah, that ain't me.

Okay, well, this has been eye-opening for me.

I'm the boss.

Yeah, I know.

I got that.

You said that 400 times.

I'm the boss.

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

I'm the boss.

Okay, great.

I heard you.

Goodbye.

Michael Boss.

You mentioned, what was the thing Khaled did do first?

We the best.

We the best is one of his main things.

We the best.

Okay, so so the way to go one frame is when the video is paused, the period key makes it go forward and the comma key makes it go back one frame.

Wait, repeat that, Keith?

That's a really handy thing.

So if you want to step through YouTube clips.

Period forward, comma back.

Terrific.

Terrific.

All right.

So can we then go and see if it's Andy or a stuntman?

I don't know if there's enough in there, but we can try.

But by the way, should we rename the pod Life Hacks?

Oh yeah.

After we get through the 100, yes, we should just make it that fun life hacks.

Is it too wordy to call it super sick life hacks?

No.

Okay.

Super sick.

Hey, Jorm, real quick, what do you think Smalls is?

Oh my God, did you bring me onto this ad because I'm short?

No.

Jorm, I would never do this.

Okay, good.

Smalls is a cat food.

Oh.

And it does not have questionable ingredients, which I know you would not care to give to your cat.

I would never do that, Seth.

Yes.

And anyone who accuses me of doing that is a liar.

I had forgotten that this guy denies having said that he sucked his own dick.

Well, it's weird.

Like, he's an unreliable narrator who then immediately starts walking stuff back.

It's very strange.

I kind of want to hear Keeves' version because I will say Rogan did a very good job being incredulous with all of your

just looking at you being like, okay,

was quite good.

But Keith, were you equal to it?

I mean, be honest.

I mean, I don't think I'm the actor Seth Rogan is, so I don't know that I'd want this apples to apples comparison.

I liked Keeves more.

That's how sure I am.

Seth's never going to listen to this.

We already know that people on the studio do not listen to this.

Fuck it, Ike.

I can say anything I want about Ike.

He'll never know.

Ike, as old a friend as I have, loves comedy, loves you guys, doesn't have time for a pause.

Emphasis on old.

Am I right, Seth?

Doesn't matter.

He'll never hear it.

Old as shit.

When he gets into the car or is doing exercise and wants to listen to talk something,

you know what he's listening to, Seth.

When he wants wants talk radio style talk.

Oh, Rogan.

No.

He's a huge Howard Stern fan.

No.

He is a huge Howard Stern fan.

He is legitimately a very, very, very, like, knows the trivia, like can go on there and tell you everything that people did over the years.

Well, I remember the first time he did Stern, it was like a real rite of passage for him.

I thought for sure you were going to say family trips, Keith, but let the truth ring out.

It was not a joke.

It was a real thing.

I cannot tell if it's you or not, Andy, but it does.

I'm guessing it is.

I don't think it is.

I just went through it back and forth a bunch of times.

Can I clean up a couple things?

Oh, wait.

Do you have more to say about Like a Boss?

It's very fun.

I was happy to watch it again.

I think that we could say a little bit more.

I mean,

the thing about it that was unexpected was that it became a bigger one.

Like, it really is one that gets referenced a lot.

Yes.

Yeah.

It's one of our bigger singles, for sure.

Yeah.

It's good that you said that, Andy, because I remember when it aired, it was funny, but I remember you like having sex with a fish, not that it was a real earworm banger, but that's what it turned into.

Yeah, it turned into like a song of yours that people like to play.

Correct.

Well, it also turned into a meme and a thing people say.

Yeah.

You know, like totally divorced of the video and of us and the song.

And we didn't invent it.

So it's not ours.

But the success of that meme is certainly from our SNL video, not from all the references, which is also weird because we're referencing a bunch of stuff, but we certainly popularized it after it was already very popular in one way.

Correct.

Not ours to claim, but it did become permeated for a long time.

I mean, I remember like driving to LAX and seeing a huge billboard that was like, fly like a boss, and being like, whoa.

There's a lot of that.

Yes.

There was a Beats by Dread.

There was an entire movie

that came out like three years ago called Like a Boss.

Like a Boss is a catchphrase often used in image macros or GIFs that feature a person completing an action with authority and finesse.

This is off the top of his head.

Similar to haters gonna hate.

the characters in the macros have an air of superiority and do not care how others perceive them.

Nice.

The internet's great.

The phrase stems from the Lonely Island single Like a Boss, a parody of Slim Thug song of the same name.

And that's a fair assessment.

Love it.

Did you guys do this on tour?

Yes.

We did.

Yes.

Andy did, and me and Jorm kind of stomped around behind him doing the like a bosses.

Yeah, we did, kids.

It was kind of a fun part because we would pass each other.

We went back and forth just being like, like a boss.

Do a little shy-boss, like a boss.

Like a boss.

I like the way, Jorim, you said it was nice that we passed each other.

Like you genuinely were like, remember, we used to see each other every time we passed.

Yeah, we did.

We would be on a different side of the stage and be like, here we go.

We're marching towards each other.

Nice to bump into.

We would give each other a little look of like, oh, we're up on stage doing this.

Isn't that funny?

It was really nice that, like, when you were on tour spending all that time together, Jorim still liked, and then we got that extra time.

Yeah.

No, okay, but there's two moments from the tour.

Like, look, there's a couple of me and Keeve moments, but we all had moments of, you know, we've been friends since we were 12.

So the idea to just be on stage, sometimes performing for a lot of people, like at Bonnaroo, it's like 35,000 people.

So to do that and pass your friend that you've known for this long and be like, hello, sir.

Hello, here we are.

This makes sense.

Fancy to see you on the boss performance.

Yeah, and then the other thing that I referenced from the tour all the time was we would also be backstage, me and Keeve, when Andy Andy was performing, threw it on the ground, and we would always listen in for the lyric, and they tased me in the butthole, because to have several thousand people sometimes all screaming, and they tased me in the butthole was just this moment of like, what is that?

That would be the funniest moment every time.

Why does anyone like this?

It's hard to think of a better place to be on earth than in front of thousands of people screaming that line along.

Oh, God.

It made me so happy every day.

Very wonderful.

Lovely.

But yeah, it would go off like a boss at the concerts.

It was musically very fun to do and kind of was a gift that kept giving that song because we never really had high expectations for it.

We just thought it was like a fun, stupid throwaway idea.

I mean, super catchy and super fun to sing.

Oh.

Are we watching the commercial?

I was curious what this one was.

There's a wannabe.

Almost a turtleneck and chain that is.

Sandberg, a casted Sandberg here.

Oh my God.

It's going on for so long.

Hold on.

Kmart shop like a boss.

That's what we're looking at.

Didn't quite save Kmart.

Nope.

And all the articles in Forbes about it going down, that was kind of the moment that they point to in the graph where it starts kind of nosediving after that.

They were like in a desperate attempt to win young shoppers.

Wow.

So many brands just took it.

I just Google started Earn Like a Boss on Uber.

Here's an Arm and Hammer Power Sheets TV spot, Toss Like a Boss.

Seth, you like to toss like a boss, right?

I do like to toss like a boss.

There's an Acura ad from 2015 drive like a boss like a boss compilation yeah there's a lot i like that the podcast has now just turned into keep scrolling google i mean we're all kind of sleepy i like it was for me just like hey nice i mean again last one was fucking just red hot getting a lot of a lot of feedback from last pod especially how it ended which was how did it end i didn't get to that part well you were on it yeah i know but i didn't get to that part how did it end It was mostly just talking about why Mari didn't want you to show your wang on girls.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, the guy.

About who it affected.

Guys, by the way, I know that, ha ha, we're all laughing and everything.

Like, my wang is fucking totally reasonable size.

That's what I said.

Everyone knows it's good.

That's what I said.

It's totally good.

Everyone knows it's good.

I know, I know, I know.

I just want to make sure there are nothing.

Did you guys look at how many views it has on our post, on our uncensored post of Like a Boss?

I did not.

Do you want to guess?

79,000.

79 million, rather.

I'll say between Yorm's two guesses.

Somewhere between Yorm's two guesses.

Like a Boss is over 100 million.

No, it's like

I bet it's 150 yeah it's over 100 150 million 182 wow so I was wrong when I guessed between but Keeve are you factoring cumulatively all the clips like what about just just that one just our one what about the clean one what about the snl like how are we are we up over two I don't know about that okay because I don't even care you're not a numbers guy I'm not a numbers guy I just want to impact the culture in a positive way I feel like you have to factor for inflation, though, too, because there's more people that check YouTube now.

So like the hits meant more back in the day.

Yeah, there's more people on Earth.

So, what do you think with inflation?

What do you think it is, Jorm?

At least 400 million.

Great.

Seth, what do you think?

At least 250.

250.

And Keith, what do you think the Constitution?

You can't trust.

What's a Molotov cocktail set?

You can't trust guys who wear wigs.

You can't trust guys who wear wigs.

Unreliable narrators.

Anyways, to get back on track, I agree with Andy and Jorm that this thing, we were surprised when our record label told us it was the one that the kids liked.

And then we made the video and had fun and we liked it and thought it came out well.

And then we were shocked at what a long tail it had and how well received it was.

I guess that's the end of that.

A couple of,

you know, I'm basically pulling corrections into the pod, but I kept saying Calvary instead of Cavalry.

Did you?

Why did you do that?

I don't know, but Calvary, of course, is the place where Jesus was crucified.

And I'm sorry to bring religion into the pod.

I mean, obviously you lost it.

You know, we made a deal early on.

I wouldn't talk religion, and Keeve wouldn't talk constitution.

It's like, Seth, it's a Molotov cocktail.

You don't want to say that to Keeve.

I think King Lear famously had three daughters, not two sons.

A lot of people giving you shade on that, Keith.

That's who he's giving his kingdom to and deciding who it's going to go to?

That's the succession story of King Lear's daughters?

Keeve, I'm giving you a chance here to be like, duh, I knew big mistake.

And instead, you're just shocked.

Oh, I have no clue.

I've never read King Lear.

It's worse for me because when I heard the pod, not the end of it, and heard Keeve say that, I was like, wow, Keeve knows the blood of King Lear.

I mean, the quickest Google may means I'm totally wrong.

I always thought King Lear was the succession thing, but with like two sons and who was, and they're all vying for it.

I'm totally wrong.

So now that you know it's three daughters, is there any chance you'll read it?

Yeah, I'll read King Lear.

No problem.

I'm a voracious reader.

Yorm, is this true?

Was this really your answer?

Last week, somebody wrote, this was their favorite line.

I said, where is I don't give a honk from?

And Jorm, you said, our brains, which if that's true what you said, that's really, yeah.

That's like a four-year-old's answer.

Also,

I alluded to a film.

A lot of people said, if you're alluding to the film Milo and Otis being the inspiration for Rocket Dog, it has been proven as an urban myth that a lot of animals died on that movie.

Oh, really?

I'm not admitting that that's the movie I was alluding to, but were you to infer that i want to clarify that and that might be an urban mission well but offline that we cut out you did say that it was my lonelinotos yeah but then we cut it out so people would know yeah yeah but you did say it

so you're i think like the point of the edits

next question next question uh i uh something was wrong in the last pod i think uh

i only wanted it out last week i want it in this week I wasn't like, cut it.

I was like, save it.

All right.

Well.

No more housekeeping?

No more housekeeping.

There wasn't much housekeeping this week.

We didn't really talk too much about that album in the shipmok song.

I thought it was really good.

And shout out Greg Chun.

Good job.

Great job, Greg.

We didn't talk about the episode either with the like a boss was in.

Oh, yeah.

Was there anything that popped for you in the episode?

You guys had a Muppet sketch.

It was the last sketch of the night.

I don't quite remember it.

Do you remember it?

I'm going to go ahead and guess I was playing the Swedish chef.

It's Muppet Bus.

It's a Bobby is the first name.

According to this, then it's you and then Mulaney, but I don't know if it's accurate.

Oh man, Beaker's freaking out!

Smurgy Boiler!

Smoorgy!

I was also in a sketch called Girlfriend Voice that Seth Rogan, Mulaney, me, and Bill wrote together, apparently.

Gotcha.

Which I think is probably like how guys, when they're like are talking shit and being all brash, and then when their girlfriend calls, they change their voice.

Hey, you know what I mean?

Not something that we've ever done because we're our honest true selves with everybody.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Oh, Easter album.

That's a Clancy T.

Backlarat and

Jackie Snad.

So, you know what?

Why don't we just drop in and play our new national anthem, which I'm assuming, since that's how that sketch ended, it was a national anthem based on Easter.

Oh, Easter, bunny, your laser eyes have murdered my beer charge mouse.

And now there's broken glass, beer, and blood on my spaceship's floor mats.

Oh, there is a sketch.

I had no memory of it.

I went back and watched it.

I really liked it.

It's a very, very dumb sketch.

It's called You're the One That I Want.

And it's Fred brings in Seth and he sits him down, and all the other employees, it has a real like a boss feel.

Everybody's standing around, and Fred says, Hey, do you remember how I asked you?

Everybody on the team put together a presentation of my speech.

These guys worked on the PowerPoint, these guys worked on the special effects, and you were in charge of the audio.

He's like, Yeah, I remember.

And then he said, Well, this is what was on the CD that we sent to all of our clients.

And it's just the grease song.

You're the one that I want.

But every time Fred plays it, he plays it for like 40 seconds.

And it's just 40 seconds of that song while everybody just like stink eyes Rogan.

Oh, God.

That's really good.

And it's really funny because then Fred talks about how hard everybody works and he and then he like just keeps going like, and instead people heard this.

and then he plays it for another 40 seconds it's like beyond obnoxious it's really good this sketch i assume is not available for people to look to listen to then or watch it rather unfortunately i feel as though it will not be available um i bet you can do this andy i bet you can do it okay phoenix is the musical guest yeah name the two songs uh

listomania and 1901 you did it i'm proud of you well done really good it's hard to do that you did it did you get that clean did you know i was fully looking at the rundown.

Oh yeah.

God damn it.

Didn't get it clean.

Like, I'm the one who just told you guys I wrote a sketch and everyone ignored me.

I don't know what's going on on this pod.

This is a fucking disaster.

Listen, I told you I was very sleepy.

I have like 2% left on my computer, so I might have to go get a charger.

Or we just try to jam it out till I die.

Not till I die, till my computer dies.

Jam it out till you die.

If we jammed this out until you die, that would be a fucking groundbreaking show.

Oh my gosh.

Obviously, I love you, Seth.

Obviously, I love you.

Do I want you to die?

No, dude.

Stop being so fucking sensitive, man.

It's groundbreaking.

Just hear me out, you fucking life-loving piece of shit.

The only way you would root for me to die is if we wouldn't end the podcast until I did.

Look, if there's one thing everyone knows about me, it's that I love podcasts and I want to make my indelible mark in this field, in the medium that I so love and adore and cherish, frankly.

Something groundbreaking like Seth dying.

Let's go for it, fellas.

Who's with me?

Dudes Looking Dope is next.

I never heard.

People don't know what that is.

Yeah.

Cut from Efron.

Can't wait to talk about that.

Well, so we'll do that.

We'll briefly touch on that.

Then Mother Lover.

Wait, really?

So a big one coming up.

Yeah.

God damn.

And then,

oh, also

in Dwayne The Rock Johnson, that was the Kathy where JT was on as Kathy's husband, and then Jessica Beale came on as Jessica Rabbit.

Oh, yeah.

I thought we already covered that one.

I know, I did too.

We did talk about it randomly when you were talking about, I think, Kathy, your first Kathy.

Yeah.

We just jumped and talked about this one, but this is the rock episode is the one that had it.

Oh, interesting.

Then the next week, there was a, remember we talked about Save Broadway.

There was a sketch called Save Comics that was about the comic strip characters.

And Kathy appeared back-to-back weeks because Kathy showed up.

And you know what?

I'll just have Kevin play the line.

You had some line where you're like, we have to protect our strips.

And then Kathy made a crack about her strip that I did not care for.

Woo!

Kathy, Kathy, Kathy, we're trying to think of ways to save our strips.

Hey, don't look at me.

I don't have a strip.

Mine's so overgrown, it looks like the Amazon rainforest.

Well, I'm sure I didn't write it.

That's not very Kathy-like.

No.

Who wrote the sketch?

Let's get to the bottom of this.

I mean, I think Mulaney's name was first.

That pervert.

He didn't care about it.

He's never understood Kathy, what she stands for, and what she's about.

First thing I thought about him when we met.

Oh, but then, Yoram, I feel like we could do a very special episode on the last of the season is Mugless.

Oh, yeah.

I know, not a digital short, but Muglis is the sketch, the sketch that didn't work that I think about the most.

Well, this, I will say, it's going to be a little painful to like reveal this darker side of myself to our audience.

Oh, right, because it's a, it's an autobiographical.

Yeah, this is an autobiographical sketch.

You were very young.

No, I would do it tomorrow, Keith.

Oh, okay, great.

Well, then, yeah, interesting.

No, no, this is like deep soul shit that we're going to reveal.

I've never thought about that.

That means we did one that didn't air, which was rare for us, then did Mother Lover, one of arguably the biggest ones we ever did, and then another one that didn't air the very next week.

Well, Muglis is a sketch.

Muglis is not.

No, no, but My Secret Weapon.

Oh.

The puppet one.

That one should have aired, though, I feel like.

I know, but it's interesting that we sandwiched Mother Lover with two unaired things.

I didn't realize that's how that went.

Mother Lover took a lot out of us.

We'll get there.

It was a huge.

And that we had a whole album full of new songs and then just made a new song because we needed a dick in a box sequel.

Because it was Justin.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But it is crazy that within, what, five shows, we did

Boat, Boss, and Mother Lover.

That's pretty nuts.

Yeah.

But we'll get there.

Guys, we'll get there.

All right.

All right.

Well, pleasure.

I love you guys.

Love you.

We love you, Seth.

Love you next week.

Should we talk for another five minutes, though, and just see what happens?

Later quaits.

Wait, who is that?

That was a guy.

That's how it always ends now.

Later quaits.

And is that Quado or is that somebody else?

Wait, you came up with your own tag?

Yeah.

You didn't tell us?

It's grabbed from

like a random soundbite.

That's why it sounds so different from my normal voice.

Later quits.

But it's Quado or is it someone totally else?

No, no.

It's just from like a soundbite from some AM radio thing or something.

Did we have to license it?

Do we pay a license fee every time we use later quaits?

No, it's so short.

It's so short.

It's fine.

Can I hear it one more time?

Later queens.

Yeah, it's good.

It's really good.

Shit.

Thank you.

All right.

So let's just do a dry run.

So we'll do the normal ending.

And you, just to give a sense, so I don't get caught off guard by you next time.

Love you guys.

Love you guys.

Love you, sounds.

Love you.

Later queens?

I love it so much.

It's really, I do.

I hated it.

The first time I heard it, I super hated it.

And now I love it so much.

Yeah, so we're right back on board.

It's just, it's good to have something so that everyone knows the show's over.

Yeah, it's a signifier.

Yeah, true.

And period.

We don't have like like a Lonely Island South American podcast is presented by or produced by, right?

It just cuts off after we are done talking.

Yeah, we don't play the jingle again, we should do like a daily thing, though, with this thinking only.

So, I do, I think we keep making the problem, though, because we keep talking over it.

So, like, exactly.

It has to just be the ending.

Yeah, now let's do it for real.

We're going to do it just one last time, run through it.

Sounds good.

There we go.

All right.

Love you guys.

Love you, buddies.

All right.

Love you.

Love you, Seth.

Later, quit.
