A Special Message From The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers

Hey everybody, this is Seth Meyers and we heard your feedback loud and clear after the last episode and we have let Akiva and Andy go.

Finally.

And moving forward, this podcast will be Seth and Yorma talk about the different types of saunas in Finland.

And people wanted to hear more of the two guys who mainly do the ads, right?

Yeah.

But they were like, we want to hear them, but not doing ads.

We just want to hear them talking about the saunas of Finland.

Yeah.

And how many kinds did you say there were, Jorm?

Well, as we talked about, le

is referring to the steam or the essence of the steam of a sauna.

And Seth, as far as I know, maybe it's infinite in terms of the amount of different kinds of leul there can be.

But what I experienced.

I just hope that the answer you're giving will be as infinite.

Seth, you know it will be.

You know what?

The game is up.

Here's what's happening, listeners.

This is what we call a stopgap

because

the reason that Yorma and I are talking to you right now, and the reason there is not a full episode of The Lonely Island Seth Meyers, is that currently on this Friday, Akeeva and Andy are unable to do a podcast.

They committed to.

May I stress that?

Yorma, can you vouch for me?

Oh, you know how much I am annoyed at the level of commitment.

Yes, but I think maybe they have the best possible reason to miss the podcast.

They are currently in New York City filming a digital short that by the time you're listening to this, you will have seen.

This is true.

Now, lest it got cut, I don't want to go into details about it, but I will say when Andy played this song for me a year ago, it's maybe the hardest I've ever laughed in a car.

I think that that's comparable to the first time I heard it.

We are kind of tipping our hand a little bit to mention that maybe there's a song involved.

Yeah.

But it is, yeah, I would say, I would agree with you, Seth.

I laughed very, very hard.

Again, you're being very sensitive about tipping your hat or whatever it was you wanted to tip about something that is, again, we're in the past and the people are listening to it in the present.

So I would be very surprised if it didn't make it.

So write in and tell us if you liked it.

Yeah.

I'll write in too, because I don't know if I liked it either.

And Seth doesn't either.

Well, that's true.

We've never seen the visual element of something we've liked.

And maybe it wasn't a song.

Maybe it was spoken word.

Possibly.

Yeah.

Maybe they went a different direction.

Yeah.

I'd rather be surprised.

I will say the initials of the title of their piece is SGH.

And I wish we were doing this a week in advance because I would like everybody to send in their guesses as to what SGH stood for.

And if anyone had gotten it right, I would have given them a billion dollars.

Yeah, when I was first hearing the song, because I am not on the song, again, tipping my hand a little bit here, but not in one gazillion years would I have thought that it went the direction that it did.

Yeah.

I hope this is enough suspense.

I think we've built enough suspense, but this is also,

look, we didn't want you to find out.

You know, we're better than just putting up a post.

We wanted you to hear it from us.

Andy and Akiva are doing something great, and we are on the outside looking in.

Yeah, I'm in a car right now.

Yeah, Jorm's in a car.

They were very gruff with us too.

They're like, go tell them.

Go tell them.

We can't do it.

To tell you the truth, Akiva texted me this morning and was like, wait, are you in New York?

I thought you were in Finland.

And I had no idea that they were even in New York doing this.

So I'm very, I'm equally excited.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, I also thought you were in Finland.

You know what?

At this point, if anybody is still with us, God bless.

But Jorm,

why did you come back from Finland?

Did you just have to the need to see your family?

Yes, I am shooting a movie in Finland.

I will be shooting a movie, and it got pushed.

Yes, movies do, Hollywood, you guys.

It's like, hurry up and wait.

Am I right?

So it got pushed.

And because of that, I was going to not see my family for like three and a half months.

So, yes, this is me seeing my kids.

But instead, I'm spending time with you guys in a car down the road from my house because trees are being cut down.

Don't worry, I'm going to plant some more guys.

Oh, wow.

Don't worry.

I understand what's happening in the planet.

I feel like tree, and again, at this point, the only reason we're doing this is we're going to make Andy listen to the whole thing.

Yeah, this is the sweet spot for our viewership of like me talking about cutting down trees in my house.

When tree people come to your house, they're never like, you're good.

No, they're like, everything's dead.

Yeah.

I'm like, oh, they look great.

It's like if you have a ghost hunter come to your house, they're going to find a ghost.

This is definitely hitting the sweet spot for our listenership.

Very relatable.

Well, I think it is for people who hire ghost hunters.

Oh, yeah.

Well, that's true.

All right.

So there you go.

Again, I just think what we're doing right now is very courteous.

And the other thing we want to tell you is we're going to try to get an episode up this week.

Hopefully, maybe we'll skip the line a little bit.

I mean, knowing those two, they'll be like, nah, we're not ready to talk about it yet.

It's too fresh.

Seth, can I just talk about the dynamic in the Lonely Island?

Because I am just, as you may be aware, an open book.

Yeah.

Like, yeah.

Let's talk about, let's insult that person and put it out online.

And everyone's like, no,

like the stuff that gets cut out.

Yeah, we do cut out a lot of Yorim going like, you'd really like send the bullets flying.

Yeah.

Shots, shots, shots.

You know what I mean?

There is an email round after every episode where we listen to it.

And

they're very courteous because Andy will be like, hey, and just, I don't know, up to Yorim, but I might cut that if I said that thing.

And then you're like, I think I'm good with it.

And then Akeev will be like, I will just echo Andy that if I had said that, I would want it removed.

And then you finally are like, oh, yeah, yeah, take it out.

Yeah.

The yes.

the amount of times that Andy's right is shocking, though, because I've argued to keep things in.

And then, this is embarrassing.

I do have a Google alert on my name, and so you'll get these emails being like, This is when you were mentioned.

And the amount of times I've been like, Oh, yeah, Andy was right.

People did think that we shouldn't have talked about Kanye.

Yep, or whatever.

You know, words matter, guys.

Words matter.

Well, here we are.

This is the end of Yorm and Seth explain why there's not a full episode on a Monday.

We're heartbroken.

It's a favorite part of our Friday talking to Akiva and Andy.

And we promise we're going to get back to you soon.

Yoram?

Yes.

Stay out of the way of falling trees.

Thank you.

I will.

I love you, buddy.

I love you too.

It's nice seeing you.

Nice seeing you too.
