Property of the Queen

Hey you guys, Andy here.

I'm recording.

Oh, what a pleasant guy.

What a nice guy who just showed.

I'm pretty happy.

So, uh, who does our wonderful theme songs?

I know you've mentioned Greg Chun.

Yeah, Greg Chun.

I have a request for Greg.

Now you're doing an apple with the loudest foods.

You want to get into it, son?

You want to get into it?

9:30 a.m.

here.

Had to get my kids out the door for school.

Have something after this.

How to take a shower.

This is what I'm eating.

Gosh, 9:30.

For our listeners, they're just going to be blown away that you're at work at 9:30 in the morning.

I just stated everything I did before.

Yeah, that's true.

Do you take your kids to school every day?

No.

Okay, just on days you have a morning pod.

Oh my God.

We did one yesterday.

What do you want from me?

My blood?

By the way, this is two days in a row.

We're fucking killing it.

Wait, so Greg Chun, I'm gonna, I have a request.

Can you guys get to him?

I would like a song if he's willing to, inspired by the Fraser theme.

Ooh, I love that.

Just a little nice little lonely island jingle.

I feel like we should just give you his number and make you talk to him.

I don't don't know.

It feels like that was a pretty easy ask.

All three of us know him pretty good, though.

Yeah,

by all means, have the person, have a stranger ask.

I think he'll like it.

Hey, hey, it's the Lonely Island podcast, and sometimes Seth Myers hangs out too.

He's busy.

And there's that one guy who's always late.

Sometimes don't show up at all.

I think you know who

Finland.

But it's all good, sir.

It don't don't matter as long as they got you.

Them boys got a whole army of queens.

Quick little notes, because I will say, I came in prepared today.

Ooh, this is going to be a different set.

Well, part of it is I felt as though if we just winged it with this short, it would be a pretty dog episode.

I think it's wonged it, right?

Yeah,

we have to look at other stuff.

We don't have a lot to say about this.

And again, I re-watched it.

It's, it's, uh, how would you describe it via text, Andy?

Totally ellipses fine.

Yeah, I think that's right.

There's nothing terrible about it.

It is totally fine.

Did not make the final 64.

I think it's interesting anytime I watch one where I don't actually remember what's going to happen because I don't think you guys made many that were forgettable.

No, it wasn't.

I do remember this one, but because the singing is so high, it's almost impossible to hear what the lyrics are.

Yeah, they're not bad songs, but I agree.

But let's get to that.

I mean, are we jumping right into it?

Because I can tell you how it all came together, and I'm guessing Keith remembers pretty well, too.

I would like to not jump into it because, again, I came in with a plan.

Oh, okay.

Let's stick to the plan.

All right.

Seth, take it away.

Finally prepared for your job.

Seth.

We were saying, you know, you can't untoss a salad.

And Keith and I could not come up with a similar expression, which is the one people use.

A couple of listeners.

You can't unring a bell.

You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

That's a classic.

That one's real.

That's the one.

That's the one.

Alan Seppenwall, friend of the pod.

Can I just say you can do that, though?

You can do it.

Yeah.

You can push out the air part of the toothpaste and then suck it back in.

It's just very difficult to do, but you can.

It's arduous.

Yeah, it's arduous to do.

Maybe that's what people are talking about.

Like, you can put the toothpaste back in the tube, but it's arduous.

Reading between the lines, I think Jorm's saying anything is possible, believe in your dreams.

Is that right, Yorm?

That's right, Andy.

We are so simpatigo.

I love doing this.

We're fucking killing it.

And you and me, bro.

Ah, another bite of my apple.

Woo!

Happy.

Bro, dad.

I'm just happy to take a back seat for this.

I mean, this is exciting stuff.

Yeah.

The Venn diagram of people who are super into our podcast and people who are also super into the minutiae of NYPD Blue lands firmly on Alan Seppenwal, a television critic,

who reached out to me.

He's very excited.

NYPD Blue Backstory Facts, if you care.

We do.

They were allowed to show rear ends inside boob, but no more.

They used to be able to show on TV.

Steven Bochko and Bob Iger literally drew sketches that they passed back and forth to figure out what was and wasn't allowable.

They could say asshole, but not fuck.

And there was only a brief window where they were allowed to say shit.

Then something changed the game, which has a nice little tie-in to the podcast.

Then Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake happened at the Super Bowl halftime show.

And suddenly, the language and the nudity got dialed way back.

Thank God.

Wow.

I got more.

And yes, Sylvia is giving Sipowitz a handy.

Thank you.

As Dennis Franz says, his line is, that's sure going to be clean.

Yeah, exactly.

Wow.

I really, really want to think that he punched up the scene.

I was like, guys, what if?

What if I said that's sure going to be clean?

By the way, David Milch, NYPD Blue Rider, went on to do Deadwood.

So one of the great tavier writers of all time.

Also, Sipowitz was a native New Yorker on the show.

They never bothered to explain his Chicago accent.

Seppenwal coming with the heat.

And you can read, Seppenwald did write a fantastic book, and I feel like it's only fair to plug it.

It's no ifs, ands, but plenty of buts.

The NYPD Blue Story.

Oh, my God.

So he's well-versed.

By the way, I made up the title.

That's not the title.

Damn it.

But is it too late to change it?

Just leave it at that.

You bit on that harder than you chow down on that apple, Sam Burger.

Did someone say apple?

Fucking delicious.

Apologies to all our listeners.

This is to punish Seth.

Maybe 9.30 a.m.

is our time.

Maybe we can do it.

Maybe we are early, guys.

Oh, this is so good.

I'm running on fumes.

Seminole did write a great book called The Revolution, was televised that I highly recommend.

So I do want to give a shout out.

Another thing that somebody just in the comments said, have you guys seen the Eurovision song from Finland this year?

No, but the one from Estonia by Tommy Cash is really good.

I highly recommend to all parents.

It's called Espresso Macchiato, and it's really, really good.

That's from this year?

Espresso macchiato, macchiato, macchiato, por pavoro.

Should we watch the Finland one right now?

Yeah, I'm going to ask Jeff to screen share and show it because there's a couple things.

One, somebody said, first of all, it's three dudes.

Looks like it could be the lonely island from Finland.

One of them fully looks like The Creep, like he's dressed from the music video, The Creep.

And also, again, tie into Jor's time away from us.

It's called uh Barabada Bastu, which uh means just sauna.

Wow, does it really?

Yeah, yeah, well, they do love it.

It's it's basically a lonely island comedy zone.

Oh, wow, they really do look like that.

This is for your

set transformed into a sauna.

The fact that he's playing an accordion is they're bringing some weird Alan to here, too.

It's literally about sauna.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So what does Barabara Basu mean?

Just sauna.

It's basically I'm on a boat about saunas.

This feels very Finnish, but when I just googled, Yahoo called them Sweden.

Are they Swedish?

I have answers.

Okay, great.

They are from Finland.

They're part of the Swedish minority in Finland.

So they were Swedish dudes, but they were the Finnish entry for Eurovision.

Sick.

And they finished fourth overall.

The song has gone number one in both Sweden and Finland.

Fuck, we got to go there.

And the video, which is from two months ago, that video I just sent, has 16 million views.

Wow.

All right.

Yeah.

Wait, so that wasn't from Eurovision because Eurovision's now.

So that was maybe their entry at the competition?

No, I think that wasn't Evis.

That looked like Eurovision.

That's Eurovision.

They finished fourth.

But was Eurovision two months ago or right now?

No, it was very recently.

But then I'm saying you just said that video is from two months ago.

Oh, maybe it's two weeks ago.

Maybe I think that's from Eurovision, though.

Sorry if I.

Because the finals of Eurovision are May 19th, which was four days ago.

Oh, all right.

Well, here's just Kevin sent us a translation.

The clock strikes.

Now is the time.

All worries will soon disappear.

The best cure for body and soul for wood paneled walls.

A little on the nose.

We're going to have a sauna sauna steam up and release all stress today.

Sauna brothers, we're the ones who glow 100 degrees.

Well then just having a sauna sauna throw water on so the sweat just whirls around.

Oh sauna bathing.

Yeah, we're going to have a sauna sauna steam up.

You know, a lot of these lyrics would tie in very nicely to the Dennis Franz shower scene.

Oh, yeah.

That's a mashup I'm interested in.

I'm just glad that they mentioned 100 degrees because when my brother was out in Finland, we checked the temperature.

Nobody was in the sauna, so people weren't going in and out.

So it was the hottest it was ever, and it was 104 degrees Celsius, which I don't know if it's even possible because that seems like it'd be wildly illegal in the United States.

That's over 200 plus degrees.

Weighing on the comments.

I don't know what it actually is.

KAJ is the name of the band.

Nice work, guys.

Yeah, really fun.

I do think that owes a lot to Psy, also.

Like the choreo and the type of song.

Yeah, so there's some gunkum style.

Am I saying that right?

So, anyway, they crushed it.

Congratulations.

And also, thank you for the listener who suggested we watch that because that was a good time.

What if it was them?

Oh, yeah.

Now that I realize that English was a little wonky.

I think you should check out this new video.

His video you should watch.

We do that all the time.

Yeah.

Oh, totally.

You know, you should check out this thing that I have nothing to do with.

Hello, Army of Quaid.

I mean, Yorm's basically from Finland, so he's allowed.

Yeah, totally.

By the way, my last name apparently also sounds very Finnish.

If it was Takonin, then it would be just a straight-up Finnish name.

Yorma Takonen.

Now I'm going to choose your own adventure for you guys.

Do you want questions we received about I'm on a boat over the course of this podcast?

Or do you want to move on to the Alec Baldwin episode in the short?

Boat!

Boat!

Boat!

Let's hit a couple extra boats because Keith had to leave early.

Yeah.

All right.

This is interesting.

Greetings from Australia.

This is Matt.

Big fan of everything you do.

I have a question for the Lonely Island.

I just noticed in the video for I'm on a Boat when Teeth Payne sings Poseidon, Look at Me.

The portrait of Poseidon on the wall is from the 2002 video game Age of Mythology, which I played when I was a kid.

Was someone else a fan of the game, or did someone just take one of the first pictures that came up on Google?

First pictures on Google.

Yeah.

Next, next question.

Is that cleared and okay?

And sorry.

And sorry.

It seems crazy that we would use something that would be a copyright issue.

Don't sue us now in retrospect, guys.

It had to have gotten cleared because UMG was really much more strict than SNL is even about that stuff.

Yeah, I'm sure it's fine.

All right, here we go.

I absolutely love the podcast.

I look forward to it every week.

I want to ask you to address the two performances on Jimmy Fallon, the full performance and the classroom instruments performance.

Full performance with the roots.

Jimmy introduces you and says it's your live debut.

Please go into detail about what that was like.

What was it like performing with the roots?

Had you met them before?

How did you decide to go so hard at Yorm?

Yeah, great question.

Well, we were legitimately fucking excited.

We had met the roots a little bit because they were, you know, the band for Jimmy, and they knew I think we were massive fans and had like grown up listening to them and going to their shows.

And Keeve maybe even promoted one of their shows in Santa Cruz.

Am I missing?

I'm not, but I certainly attended many of their concerts.

At that point, and still to this day, they are the band that I have seen more than any other group live.

It felt like they were always touring.

For me, that was true.

And now there's a different musical act I've seen more.

Can you guess who it is?

Oh, God.

What's her name?

Fuck.

I know it.

I know this.

Is her name?

Oh, she plays like a trumpet or something.

God, old timey trumpet.

Like, it's like a French horn, though.

Celine Dion.

Keeve, just real quick, though, what were a few of the acts that you promoted shows for?

Well, yeah, when I was like 19 and 20 in college and I was in Santa Cruz and I wanted certain bands to come, but they weren't necessarily planning, I would then just reach out and be a promoter out of nowhere to try to get them.

So I did the Alcoholics, which was one of our favorite groups.

Keith, did you also design the Flyers?

Why do I think you designed them?

Yeah, I did eventually start trying to design them.

The Farside and AC Alone, like Freestyle Fellowship, those guys.

And this isn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't put this in the hustler spirit camp of things.

You just wanted to see bands and that was very cool.

But I remember thinking, like, wow, Keith's doing big things up there.

That's pretty cool.

I had no clue what I was doing.

In hindsight, sometimes I think about some of the things and I'm like, oh, that was unprofessional.

But they also knew they were talking to some 19-year-old college kid.

Fake it till you make it.

But do you remember, Keeve?

Do you remember that when we were in high school and we were trying to get free records, that you figured out that if we had a publication that we could get free records?

So we made a hip-hop magazine called Up in the Cut and designed it and then put fake articles in.

It was like a pamphlet.

And then we don't know if that really worked.

I don't think it did.

I don't think it did.

We attempted

up in the cuts real good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We tried to make a fake zombie.

Hey, what's up?

It's Kevin Yor from Up in the Cut.

You think you maybe want to play a show at like a Dinky-ass venue in Santa Cruz?

No, we were trying to get Record Devils to send us the promo, the promo records that they send DJs.

Oh, I see, I see.

Yeah, we were just sending it out as if we had a magazine that we did hook.

That's a good gambit.

Yeah.

We're the promoters from Dinky's Nation.

This episode of the Lonely Island Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Makers Mark.

This Father's Day, we're partnering with Maker's Mark to celebrate the fathers and father figures in all of our lives.

Nurturing a family takes time, patience, patience, and care.

And just like distilling bourbon, there are no shortcuts in honor of everything.

Perfectly unreasonable, our fathers have done for the sake of something remarkable.

MakersMark wants to extend a happy Father's Day and cheers from the founding Samuels family and its three generation of remarkable dads.

You know, can I just say about the remarkable dads that I do this podcast with?

We always put our family and our children first.

And in fact, that's why I'm the only one reading the ad right now, because the other three of them are doing what they should do, being incredible fathers.

You too can celebrate the devoted father figures in your life by picking up a bottle of MakersMark 46, the perfect gift for Father's Day, Kentucky made and French-finished.

Makers 46 can be enjoyed neat on the rocks or in a Manhattan.

Makers of Mark is perfectly unreasonable about taste, which is why Maker's 46 is finished longer with seared French oak staves, resulting in a smooth bourbon base with notes of caramel and vanilla.

Makers of Mark 46 makes their bourbon carefully.

Please enjoy it.

That way, Makers of Mark 46, Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey barrel finished with 10 virgin French oak staves.

40% alcohol volume.

2025 Makers of Mark Distillery, Inc., Loretto, Kentucky.

And oh, Andy's going to be so mad.

He wasn't here because his favorite thing is French oak staves.

Why were you doing it live?

Why were you doing On the Boat Live on Fallon?

Were you promoting something?

Was it it Popstar?

Like what?

No, I think we were promoting the album.

You're talking about the classroom instruments or you're talking about when we did it on your show that Fallon used to host.

Yeah, late night.

So that was album.

Yeah.

Yeah, that would have been right around, what was the date on it?

It must have been right now.

So you were right, because Fallon was already doing late night when you guys were doing that album.

Yeah.

I'm guessing it was a few weeks after it aired on the show.

It was a hit.

And so they invited us to come do it live on the show.

And I think that we did it specifically because we liked that song, but also because you guys wanted to publicly shame me, right?

Yeah, we wanted the deadline.

Well, no, we leaned into that to answer that question because we were like, we're not going to be able to cut around to a bunch of funny shots like in a video, so we need a comedy game here.

And obviously, there's a clear one.

And me being mean to me is a game to you.

Yes, but to circle back, getting to perform that with the roots was fucking incredible.

That's the short answer.

Yes.

This is the story of three guys who went on a magical adventure and one idiot who did not.

Oh,

How much longer after was Classroom Instruments?

That was for Pop Star Press.

Okay, so that said, whose idea was it to do that song as part of Classroom Instruments?

Who came up with the arrangement?

How many takes did you have to do?

Was it difficult to sing without cursing?

That was all that.

I feel like we did two takes.

Is that right?

I think we did it twice.

Did we i thought we did it once i think we rehearsed it once and then just did it once oh maybe it was that

and that was all them because they're amazing obviously and so they had worked it all out except for we figured out what our replacement curse words would be this was a this was a good opportunity for us to steal credit.

Like we did the arrangement for the roots.

We came in and decided what they would do.

I watched that the other day, the classroom instruments.

I forget why.

Maybe my kids were asking about something.

And I was pleasantly surprised that we sounded like the record, even though it's classroom instruments.

Oh, nice.

Where I was like, hey, we could really do it.

We sound totally like normal, like the record.

For the amount we always talk about faking it, I was like, hey, look at that.

Can't fake that.

It's a single shot.

Wait, I got a question about that.

Do you think it was easier, Keeve, because there's less noise when you're doing it?

You know what I mean?

Like, like there was less jumping around and shit, right?

So it's certainly easier because you're sitting and not like getting out of breath moving around.

All right.

Question answered.

Thanks.

Yeah.

I also just want to shout out Classroom Instruments as a fantastic late night bit.

Yeah.

Agreed.

And really inventive and unique and cool.

By the way, speaking of Popstar, it just went back on Netflix.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Let's promote.

Shout out to Popstar.

Check it out, guys.

It was never on Netflix, so it's been nine years since it came out.

Where has it been?

Where have people streamed it when they've wanted to stream it?

It bounces around.

Like it was just on Prime.

And for the first like four years, it was, I forget where, but it was somewhere where it was really hard to see except for renting it, which was annoying to us.

The moment it came out and people didn't see it in theaters, we were like, God, I wish it was on Netflix right now.

Cause we felt like it could have been maybe big if it had just come to people.

Yeah.

And then, you know, Netflix just has a really

relative.

Yeah, relative to zero.

Yeah, bigger than

Abject.

Bigger.

We thought maybe.

You guys, your opening weekend really established that big wouldn't have to be much.

No.

Yeah, we were not like aiming for suits numbers here.

No.

And you were even saying that before suits was a hit on Netflix.

Correct.

No, we were just going for USA suits numbers.

I remember I go, how is your opening weekend?

And you said, it's not suits.

And I was like, the USA show?

Yeah, like USA suits numbers, yeah.

Wait, hold on.

Can we just ask?

So, Andy, sorry, what are you eating right now?

What is that?

It's an apple.

Still the same apple.

Oh, is it?

Oh, great.

He's to the quiet part of the apple.

And again, to everyone listening, I apologize.

This is Seth's fault.

All right.

And I also apologize to everybody who has to get to work before 9.30 for the way Andy's behaving.

Twisting my words.

This is great because there's a question at the end of it, but it's a real right turn.

It feels like a story with a question.

So I'm just going to read it.

This is from Jace.

Hey, guys, huge fan.

I actually threw my boyfriend, who's now my husband, a Lonely Island birthday themed party in 2011, and we all dressed up from our favorite short.

The best part was the guys whose house who hosted had a deep-sea fishing boat in the front yard because he was from the Mississippi Coast Guard.

So, of course, we all sang, I'm on a boat dressed as creeps, having threesomes.

Anyways, I've got to know what kind of job does Andy drink?

What a great turn.

Thank you for asking that question exactly the right way.

Yeah.

You know, for a long time, I was a Tay guy.

Tays all day.

Me and my wife and girlfriend.

Sorry, I don't know what that means.

What is that?

Well, latte.

Oh, tag cheese.

Tays all day.

And, you know, in New York, I would get Tays.

And we would get Taze in the office.

We would get Blue Bottle.

I think we've talked about that before.

And now I get my beans from Go Get Em Tiger.

All right.

Look at that.

That's a really good answer.

Succinct.

Whoa, a fucking burn, really?

An Alex Bays-esque burn from Yorm.

Wait.

Succinct.

I have a follow-up on I'm on on a Boat here from my wife.

Okay.

So Seth, you reached out to her.

Yes.

My memory, Keeve, was that she told me that that was the hottest she'd ever seen you was in I'm on a boat.

And I asked her to record a voice note.

It looks really long for the record.

Who gives a shit?

She's funny.

Yeah, she's the best.

Hi, everyone.

This is Liz Kikowski, married to Akiva Schaffer.

That's how you say his last name, Schaffer.

So Seth sent me a text yesterday that said, want to send me a VN saying how hot you thought Liv

was in I'm On a Boat.

That seems like recording in an hour.

So a few things there.

You know, didn't double check.

He meant Keeve, but it came up as Liv.

But here's my voice note.

And I have to say,

Yes, of course, Akiva looks very handsome in I'm On a Boat.

And I bet you remember something of like when they did it, me sort of watching during dress and air and being like he looks so good

and of course he does he looks great but that's why I married her you know it's a bit basic of how he looks hot and I'm on a boat like a tux look and all that stuff and

I think I just have different like fetishes going on it's not my number one Akiva

hotness for me of the videos.

Right.

And yes, I use his full name, Akiva, because it's a beautiful name.

So I don't shorten to Keeves.

Thank you.

When I met him and I heard his name, I think I said something like, oh, that's such a beautiful name for a golden retriever.

So yeah, I had game.

My

top, hot Akiva vids for Lonely Island is YOLO.

That's my number one.

Love him in Diaper Money.

And then old school, I love him in Stork Patrol.

And now that feels kind of creepy because he's so young.

But I did meet him like two years after Stork Patrol.

So I think that's okay.

He's so cute.

And I mean, I guess I have, you know, a type, and that type's just going to be a little bit,

I'm going to say more interesting,

more nuanced than, you know, a basic, oh, he looks hot and I'm on a boat.

Cause, you know, I'm somebody like my celebrity crush

is an Eddie Redmane.

Love a Daniel Radcliffe.

Out of all of the chipmunks, I'm a Simon gal.

When

Snowden was in the news,

I said, whoa, who's that guy?

You know, Google that image if need to.

I loved Pommel Horse Guy.

You know, there's that.

Okay.

Does this suffice?

Is this a VN

for live?

Jesus.

I guess we should let her watch those finished Lonely Island.

She might find three new hugs.

Yeah, she might have a new crash.

Also, I'd love to go back.

Were you bummed, Keeve, when she was like, I think Keeve's hot.

Now I'm going to do a list of other people I think are hot.

Were you like, no, no, no, no, no.

It was going to be Burns.

I knew.

But honestly, not lies.

Just Burns.

Yeah, yeah, just Burns.

But it is true.

Yes.

But also not even, not just true that I look like them, but true that she is attracted to them.

She didn't specify this, but I assume she meant Eddie Redmane as Stephen Hawker.

Of course.

It's so weird that I did know that about Liz, that Eddie Redmane was.

That only came up for the first time she mentioned something like weeks ago.

And I was like, what?

And no offense to Eddie Redman.

She's told me.

I was just shocked.

I thought Reddy met Eddie Redmane.

I thought very handsome in what Jackal.

Haven't seen.

It's good.

I'm the original The Jackal movie guy.

Of course.

I couldn't just watch this one.

Keeve, I thought your favorite Jackal was Allison Janney's performance in the West Wing.

That is my favorite Jackal.

I do have a website if anybody wants to check.

Sorry, can we promote side things?

It's about my, it's like my listicle, and it's like favorite jackals is like the number most popular one on there.

Allison Janey, that is a, I mean, that maybe is a deeper cut than like Sipuits in the, in the shower.

Well, I know about it because of Keeve and Liz.

They love that.

But

the jackal is also like a passed around.

It's like King Cattrell doing her jazz.

You know, it's like a passed around web clip where people, people know the jackal that haven't even watched the West Wing.

Seth, are we ignoring the fact that there's another kind of jackal?

You mean the people who comment on my YouTube page?

Grandma Jackals or something?

I feel like if you ignore them after talking a lot about jackals, that it might be a bad move on your part.

I kind of wanted to maybe teach them a lesson that sometimes people are going to talk about jackals and it's not about you.

Yeah, so take that, jackals.

I would take a big bite of my apple right now, but it's done.

Jackals, everybody, corrections.

Watch it on YouTube.

It's the favorite thing I do in my late-night talk show, and it's not even on TV.

There's also the Jackals from the Lion King, and there's the Jackals from the Lion King live-action computer animated radio.

They're hyenas, right?

Oh, they're hyenas.

Fuck me.

Erase that.

Go get him, jackals.

Correct him.

That's by far the most humiliating thing I've said on this pod.

Delete it.

Oh, my God.

Keep the stuff about me looking like Edward Snowden, though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep that.

Hey, can you go back to the just when Liz says Daniel Radcliffe?

Because I just want to say that.

She puts a T on the end.

She said Radcliffe.

Radcliffe.

For someone calling out Liv so much in auto-cliff.

That's what I mean.

She definitely said Daniel Radcliffe, which is.

Well, she could have been talking about a different guy.

Yeah, maybe there's a Radcliffe.

Like an even nerdier guy.

Oh, oh, oh.

She knows somebody else.

She was like, oh, she's into Kiev, so like the regular Daniel Radcliffe is way too ripped for her.

Yeah, it's his stand-in, Daniel Radcliffe.

Hey, if you're out there and your name is Daniel Radcliffe and you're listening to this right now, all apologies, Nirvana Ref.

Quade, what are you cooking?

What's on the stove, Quade?

I got one last little thing about Liz's voice note.

For all of our listeners out there, if you can guess, there is a right answer to this.

If you can guess who is the Theodore and who is the Alvin out of the rest of us,

you win a prize.

It is really crystal clear.

Yeah.

What?

It is really crystal clear who's who.

I kind of like that.

I want to think that, like, years ago, you guys weren't put together because you grew up together, but a manager put you together.

And he was like, look, here's how it works.

What do you use at Alvin?

What are you, son?

What are you, Theodore?

That's how it works.

You can't, if it blurs, nobody likes it.

And I was like, who's who?

We're all three Alvins.

You guys all thought you were Alvins.

Can I say one other thing, Seth?

Yeah, keep going, man.

I will say on the Alvin and the Chipmunks thing, it's an interesting process getting older and I would argue maturing.

I know that's hard to believe right now.

But when I was a kid, I'd be like, man, you want to be Alvin?

Yeah.

Front and center.

He's the guy.

And then now, when you watch Alvin and the Chipmunks, you're like, oh, this kid is fucking annoying.

Yeah.

You know who I like?

Theodore and Simon.

Some nice, thoughtful guys.

Yeah.

Yeah.

One of them's sweet and one's smart.

Yeah.

One's sweet, one's smart.

The other one's just like, look at me.

Is it bad that I'm like, you know who I, you know who I associate myself myself with?

Dave.

Dave.

Yeah, I'm a Dave now.

Come on, you guys, you guys, you guys, you got to listen.

Shut the fuck up.

You got to listen.

Is anyone listening to me?

I'll bet.

I'm going to strangle you in a nasty piece of shit.

Oh, am I not allowed to say that now, modern parenting?

That's Dave saying.

Oh, my God.

The amount I will sometimes say to my kids, but you hear me, right?

You hear me.

I just am now I'm like checking on your ears.

Yeah.

And they're like, yeah, we hear you.

There was a moment that I gave up.

There was a video of me and my friend chasing our kids into an elevator and the amount that I was like, there's no point to me talking.

Just watching it back.

I was like, there's no, why do I open my mouth?

I want to shout out Jeff, who's not a member of this pod and will not get a five-way split with us, but he's been compiling I'm on a boat questions over the course of this pod.

And so it's been very helpful.

All right.

Stephen wrote this comment in September of 2024.

As a 47-year-old adult, I've always called them flippy floppies.

Post I'm on a boat.

To me, it's one of the biggest cultural phrases.

The group you put out there to the masses.

Any other examples come to mind that people say while you are walking around foggy London town or heading to the Indigo Girls?

I feel like, I mean, I know that flippy-floppies, it's impossible not to think when I see a pair of flip-flops now.

I like that.

Yeah.

Well, there was one that I mentioned earlier, but I think I've mentioned it on this pod that me and Andy in particular, and also Keeve, used to call coffee crawdad, but that didn't really spread.

Yeah, I would say that's the opposite of what Steve was.

I mean, he's asking for other Quads, right?

Because Quaid is one of them that now has caught on.

I mean, weirdly, Quaid Army is like top three right now.

I know.

Yeah, but also Righteous Kill.

So he's saying, what else is in the Righteous Kill Quaid?

Is that the question?

Or is he saying what other things from?

From our stuff that people say to us.

Yeah, he's saying, is there anything else from your stuff that is gone?

I would say Double True and Crazy Delicious both caught on from the very first thing from Lazy Sunday.

There's probably a bunch more.

I mean, I once had a thing on the street where a guy was walking with his daughter and she was like 10.

She's like, hey, Andy, I just jizzed in my pants.

And I'm like, oh, no.

And I cran the opposite direction.

She's like, I'm so sorry.

That did actually happen.

Oh, God.

Bless her.

Wait, I got, I have one more righteous kill.

Great.

This came from Jorm, I believe, but we say me like you that a lot.

Oh, yeah.

That did become.

We made the song.

We don't say it because of the song we made for Popstar.

We've said it for years and made the song because Jorm said it for years.

So much so in like editing when we're working with an editor and we go, okay, me like you that.

We would go, MLD.

MLD, we do the we text MLD.

Okay, MLD.

Yeah, MLD, MLD.

And then my editor recently started saying NLD for no like you that.

For no like you that

so you implemented it, yes, Jeremy.

We used to have a lot of things in mixing with decibels, with dbs, with dibbles, dibbles.

And we would have a whole cut, we had a whole code system, but I can't remember it now for half dibbles.

It got really complicated, though, because at a certain point, half a dibble meant three dibbles, right?

Remember where it was like a code system where it got really weird.

Yeah, but I remember that a peg, if you were going to take somebody down a peg, it was four dibbles.

That's what I mean.

We had a whole and a dibble was just a db, meaning a decibel for mixing.

And we'd be like, ooh, I'm way too loud on that line.

Take me down a peg.

And then we'd be like, well, take me down half a peg.

And that meant two dibbles, which is two dbs, which is two decibels.

Yes.

Can you imagine how irritating?

And it starts as a bit.

And then you find yourself these moments where we're like, I'm actually thinking at that moment.

and then all of us together go, half a dibble.

Yes.

I was also thinking just half a dibble, just a little nudgeroo.

Can you imagine how irritating that is for our mixer?

She's like, but then he would start talking like us.

He'd be like, yeah, I'll take this down half a peg.

And we're like, half a peg, right?

So good.

This is from Nikki.

She even says, not a question, story.

My son Cohen, now 13, huge Berkeley 9-9, fan since he was seven or eight.

He knows more about Brooklyn 9-9 than I've ever met.

In grade four, dressed like Jake Peralta every day for months.

Hot Rod is his desert island movie.

Anyway, about four or five years ago, I told him Andy was part of Lonely Island.

They had songs he could listen to.

He's beyond jazz.

Lazy Sunday was the intro as I felt it was the most PG.

Listened to it on repeat, and I mean repeat.

I love you guys, but it was brutal.

Then he found a radio edit version of I'm On a Boat, which was cool because hearing my then nine-year-old singing about fucking a mermaid just wasn't in the cards.

I'm On a Boat became the new Lazy Sunday, number one song on Spotify Roundup, whopping 300-plus listens.

Oh my god.

But then a few years ago, when he got a bit older, he came to me and laid out his case, saying he was old and mature enough to handle the unedited version.

Impressed with his moxie, I led him later that night while he was having a shower and singing along to I'm On a Boat, Uncut version.

And the part about the mermaid was nearing, he sang right up to it, paused, and then continued when it was over.

So he did not sing.

Ah, good boy.

She said it was cute as hell.

Anyway, just wanted to pass along how much Love of Lonely Island, and to a greater extent, comedy for her kids you guys have been a part of.

how nice very nice can i add on to that uh just note for parents both the first two albums are on spotify censored you just have to look up the name of the album and then you will find a censored version but it's a little harder to find it we were looking for i'm on a boat censored and it's harder to find that's a good tip i don't know why the third album isn't because we did make a version of that but yeah

Support comes from Rocket Money, Keeve.

Yes, hi.

Do you even know what Rocket Money is, Keith?

Can I take a wild guess?

Take a wild guess, but don't be ad speaky about it, just in your own words.

I mean, if I was going to guess, it sounds like it's like personal finance app that like helps you find unwanted subscriptions.

And then, if you do, you could like cancel them and or it could pay attention to what I'm spending money on and monitor it, even.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

And it could help lower my bills and help me grow my savings.

Keith, I use this, and I can't believe how many dumb old subscriptions I had that I had not canceled.

Multiple subscriptions in some cases where I was the same streaming service more than once.

That's uh horrible.

That's a dumb guy thing.

Yeah.

All right, we're going to get to the short, but a few quick things in the Alec Baldman show.

I'm going to give you the title of a sketch.

You guys tell me what you think it's about.

Do you think you can do it on just the title?

Definitely.

Unlikely.

No.

Sir Mixalot's Photoshop.

Making the butts big.

He makes butts big.

Yeah.

See, you underestimated yourself.

I mean, also, we were there, so there's maybe subconsciously that.

I don't remember it, but that's a.

I definitely don't remember.

That's a layup.

Sounds like a tucker.

It's actually

a joast.

And someone.

It says Keenan, but as we know, these are wrong a lot.

Right.

I will say it gets a little off in the beginning, but by the end, it's pretty delightful.

Like, just because he's singing lyrics, new lyrics to the song.

They also early on rhyme fonder with rounder, which hits my ears pretty badly.

Yeah, it's unacceptable.

Oh, somebody's back in the game.

And here at Sir Mr.

Lock's Photoshop, we put every photo through a rigorous evaluation process.

To ensure that the butt is large enough, I show each and every photo to Sniffles, my pet anaconda.

Because you see, my anaconda don't want none unless you got my time.

Jerry and Carl return.

I kind of forgot that post-fart face they would do another one.

Oh, and what's this?

That means I also forgot that Forte can hear an audience and think that things are going anyway other than how it's going in his brain.

What was the phrase this time?

It was still Carol Hold My Calls.

There was not a phrase.

It was all about that it was him,

Bill, and Alec were trying to schedule a meeting.

And I would say the comedy was about what they had planned that they couldn't all meet on those days.

It's a little bit, you know what?

You should watch it, Andy, because I think it'll really plug into your frustrations on us scheduling the pod.

Oh, wonderful.

Will comes out with a tiny tuft of hair on the front of his bald head.

And then way later in the sketch than you think they would address it, he says, Well, Tuesday's no good for me.

I got to get fitted for a new toupee.

This one just doesn't quite give me the coverage I was hoping for.

What patience?

I wouldn't say it plays, but there's some really good writing in it.

At one point, they say, how's Saturday for you?

And Forte says, oh, that depends.

How long does an autopsy take?

And Bill says, I don't know, about four hours.

And he goes,

four times five?

No, Saturday's not going to work.

It's like a Simpsons joke.

And then, though, there's a nice little

call forward to sushi Glory Hole.

Next Monday's bad for me.

I'll be at a gas station bathroom in Queens.

They have a glory hole there that I really, really enjoy.

I'm volunteering at a glory hole on Monday.

11:30?

11:30.

No way, where?

73rd and Broadway.

Well, see you there.

No, you won't.

It's a glory hole.

And I will say, based on the reaction, I feel like maybe it does prove the point that not everybody knows what a glory hole is.

And then we got real quick, Seth's Corner.

Yorm?

Seth's Corner.

Here's the part of the show where Seth talks about some bullshit that he did that week.

Just kidding, Seth.

I love your stuff.

Fourth Jonas' Brother.

Alec played the fourth Jonas brother.

It's about as down the middle as Sir Mixala's Photoshop.

We'll leave it at that.

All right, here we go.

What is the name of this digital short again?

Property of the Queen.

Property of the Queen.

Property of the Queen.

Because that's the name of the band.

I just want to start by saying, and then I'll turn it over to you guys.

The really funny thing about this short is that it's the first short after I'm on a boat.

That is really funny.

Like, I'm on a boat is so big and beautiful and an immediate hit.

And it is such a, I mean, I really kind of want everybody who writes comedy to know that the biggest mistake you can make is thinking the last thing you do is going to be the next thing you do.

Like, it's never, it's not any easier to do it after you did a good one.

Well, it's also like, I try to remind myself this now because I still watch SNL every week.

And when I get in the like viewer mode of like, man, I wish that had been this, this, and that.

I'm like, who knows what circumstances led to this existing?

Who knows what else was at the table?

Or if there's like any laughs, I'm just like, great.

Everyone did a great job.

It's so stressful.

A million things are working against you at all times because it's putting together a show in three days, which makes no sense.

This was an instance of the Jonas brothers were coming in.

They were red hot.

We didn't know much about them, but we knew it was like a thing.

Yeah.

They wanted to do a short, which we were happy to do.

We met them and they were absolutely lovely.

And they had all these songs already written, written, pretty much.

They're like when we're like hanging out and goofing around in the studio or on tour, we write these like lamban songs and we have them all done.

God, I didn't remember that part.

Because they were good.

They're like good.

I was going to compliment you guys and now I'm very happy that I can give it to someone else.

They're the meat of the thing because it's what they already had done and what they wanted to do.

And we were like, who am I to blow against the wind?

I think partially because of I'm on a boat too, like just being like, well, we've made our personal statement last week.

We don't need to say we can take our egos completely out of the short now and just do something to help service the musical.

I mean, it's also, it's not like we had some idea for it.

We were like, great.

So I think they had the songs and we kind of backed into the premise based on those songs because they were clearly like from another era and that's why they thought it was fun and funny and that they were doing it specifically because their real music was pop and not like those songs.

Yeah.

It is a slightly weird thing in rewatching it that we sort of introduce the idea that they're Highlanders and this is going to be them going through all eras of music and then it just sort of sticks with big hair

jams, right?

Like, I mean, kind of.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think a different version of this where maybe they don't come in with this catalog of music you write through the years, different styles.

In my mind, that's what it was.

And then re-watching it, I think there's like a funk band and a disco band, and then there's like an old-timey band, and then maybe, you know, like 80s electro thing.

So you come in, they say, hey, Andy, what's up?

And you say, the jig.

The jig is up because you've caught them dead to rights.

We don't know why.

You take out a VHS tape.

And then there's a very nice laugh where you lean down and there's only a DVD player.

Now we got texted this.

Is this one not online?

I don't think it is online, and I don't quite know why.

I wonder why, because that's their music.

Yeah, I don't understand.

It would be fun to see how many less views it has than the Finnish sauna song.

So I'd like to find it in my text thread and because it's not online, do our

oh, yeah, do stop start.

I will say a lot of compliments on stop start in the YouTube comments.

Yeah, well, this one, I mean, I wouldn't have thought it needs it because it doesn't have that many moves or things to talk about necessarily, especially because we didn't make the music.

Yeah.

But because they literally can't find it, then I think it's actually kind of necessary.

Yeah, let's do it.

You're right.

Gosh, Keeve, you know what?

I just always have the Quaids in mind.

You are.

You think of Quaids first.

As the Simon of the group, I try to think about the Quads a lot.

And remember, guys, we don't know who is who for the other two characters.

So way in the comments.

It could be either.

Oh, my God.

We don't know right now.

Please let me be Theodore just to be free like that.

Not have to think about anything or worry.

I'm so tired.

I'm so tired of being the Alvin.

I can't fucking do it anymore.

Just put me out of my fucking overacting misery.

Three Theodores.

Oh, we're all begging to be three.

Oh, y'all.

I forgot to mention we all took truth serum at the top of this.

Truth serum.

FBI loaned us some truth serum.

CIA?

FBI.

Who is this?

I literally thought FBI was slang.

And then I was like, oh no, he means the FBI gave him truth serum.

Doesn't FBI have truth serum or is it CIA, Seth?

You're the guy.

I don't know.

I don't think there's such a thing as truth serum.

I bet there is.

Oh, what?

It's probably like a version of ecstasy or something.

Okay.

All right, who's going to play this for us?

I got it right here.

Merciful 235.

All right.

Dressing room on nine.

What's up, Annie?

What's up?

The jig.

The jig is up.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about your secret.

I know what it is.

And I have the VHS tape to prove it.

So a little joke here.

He takes out the VHS tape and then it's a DVD player that he's trying to get it to go into the little...

What's that little discs?

The disc tray, I would call it.

Did you guys also find it haunting when you realized now that's a DVD player?

It was as old as a VHS player was when you made this?

Yeah, people still wouldn't understand what that other machine is either.

He's going to have to try to push them all into a router now.

Slight tangent on DVD players.

A friend of mine used to get really drunk in high school.

Don't drink, underage guys.

And he would wake up at night and open his DVD player, his five-disc DVD player, and then pee into it.

All right, keep going.

Like sleepwalking.

When you first saw the three of them on the couch, were you like, oh my God, it's the Finnish group that sings about saunas.

It does.

They do look a little bit now, knowing that that maybe they are Highlanders.

In terms of the trios of white guys, Jonas Brothers does fit firmly into the Lonely Island Workaholics, Everything Sunny in Philadelphia.

Yeah.

And then the name of, hold on, I got to look it up again.

The Finnish, the Finnish lady.

No, I want it.

It was a good song.

I want to give them their shout-out.

As Rolling Stone called them the Swedish Lonely Island.

Baron.

Where's your guys' VCR?

All right, seven hours later.

You turds got anything to say before I play this?

I appreciated that you try to slam the tape, the VHS tape, into it, but it's got the thing that stops it from being able to be slammed enough.

I do like this song.

We got Keenan on the keys.

Bobby Monahan on the drums.

Bobby Keenan and Forte doing really good work here.

I got struck by lightning, but I'm not dead.

I think I just liked the line.

I got struck by lightning, and it really hurt.

I don't know what you're talking about, Andy.

This tape is from 1983.

Crazy.

Shall we watch another one?

Some Space Olympics effects that go.

Yeah, some good yawn

effects.

Forte.

Forte's looking looking like

Richard Simmons.

Yeah.

I like commenting on the sort of mini trend of branding songs about Africa in the 70s and 80s.

Yeah, I did think that was.

And again, if it's credit to them, I'm impressed.

It is.

Mercifully short, that one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It is for sure.

That's from 25 years ago.

Really holds up.

That's not the point.

What are you?

Highlanders?

Come on, man.

Okay.

Let's just watch another one then.

Just as fans.

Little extreme, right?

Is that what we're doing here?

Yeah, a little more than we're doing.

The name of the song is our secret.

Busted.

Just admit it.

None of that stuff proves anything.

One more.

I do like that joke.

Didn't get a laugh, though.

No.

Bill's a very good wizard.

Shut up, Nick.

Shut Nick.

He knows.

I'm not going to throw it all away.

I don't want your money.

I just want to know how you stayed so young.

This guy.

What up, dude?

How are you?

It's crazy, right?

Punchy, punchy end.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, Bill, not a lot to work with, and just exceptional delivery and gets a nice laugh.

Basically, one of his old buddies from Tulsa in a wizard costume with a beard.

That's exactly what I think.

I'm just like, that's what it was like growing up for Bill.

I like the Bill Reveal.

I like the song saying the exact episode we are currently in is when they were going to rock on SNL.

Ask the Wizard is a song that I like hearing.

Yeah.

No one's kidding.

I think you're, it's so funny you say that, Jorm, when you're like, well, how did somebody like Bill Hayter turn out to be Bill Hayter?

And I think the answer is like, he's from Tulsa and his best friend was a wizard.

Wait, wait.

Just like a laid-back wizard.

All right.

So, you know, it is what it is.

Yeah.

It's not Criterion.

It's not Kim's video, but it's nice.

And we like them.

And they did a good job.

And it also is a very nice host service.

I'm sorry, not host service, musical guest service.

And I think it was a show where people were really excited to see them.

I mean, it's kind of weird.

They were, you know, in a sketch and then also in a short and then also had two songs.

Credit to Alec for making room for that.

Did we record with those guys at their studio?

I feel like we went to a very high-end studio and met those guys.

And I remember being like, these guys are really sweet young men.

Yeah, it was a nice New York studio.

And they're real musicians.

They really just do it, which is awesome.

Also, Jack McBrair is in the monologue because the monologue is about 30 rock.

And I believe that's when Jack met the Jonas brothers.

And they are all friends to this day.

In fact, they're such good friends that we did a day drinking with the Jonas brothers with me, my brother, and Jack McBray.

I remember that.

It's so funny that I think of them as so young that I was like, that's inappropriate.

They shouldn't be drinking.

Oh, now they're fine.

Yeah, it's fine now.

At the time, not okay.

Um, well, I mean, I feel like that's about as fast as we're ever going to go through a

short, but I feel like there was some real meat on the bone before that.

You know what?

I'm looking at the rundown, and an interesting just tidbit is that hot air balloon number one plate again.

Yes, that's um, for Jania Horison.

So it was just whatever length it was, that was so short, they just kind of kept it handy when they needed it for, I'm sure, just

commercial break reasons.

I have a

follow-up on uh the dibbles thing i remembered that a rung was three dibbles so you know if you want if you need to use that in mix guys oh a rung like take it up a rung or take it down a rung yeah rung was three dibbles take it down a peg take it up a peg take it up a rung wow yeah we didn't use rung that much it was usually half pegs um i remembered another yormaism that he says a lot that we say in our circle which is when things are awesome he'll go oh it's like an amp m situation right then people go well and he goes too much good stuff yeah

Should make a shirt.

Honestly, he uses it constantly.

Wait, what is why is AMPM too much defect?

That's their slogan.

Yeah, AMPM Mini Marts.

That was their slogan for a really long time.

Their cottages say too much good stuff.

Too much good stuff, right?

AMPM.

Oh, Andy has one about Taco Bell, too, just talking about being breakfast defectors.

Oh, yeah.

I have gone on long, long stretches of time where I like to talk about being a breakfast defector.

And I do legitimately, without any humor anymore, say, let's think outside the bun.

Yeah, that is.

Yeah, you do say that.

That one I don't like because other people say that.

And just anyone witnessing us knows we live moss.

Yeah.

We do live moss.

We're not afraid to live moss.

But like when you're doing something crazy edgy, Seth, you'd be like, I guess I'm just a breakfast defector.

You're remaking the Robin Williams movie, A Moscow on the Hudson, but you're just defecting from breakfast.

That's right.

So if you're loco.

We're not afraid of fourth meal, Seth.

That's right.

Bring it on.

Anyway, I'm telling you Taco Bell representatives are are out there.

We already made a hit ad for Doritos.

We like doing ads we don't get paid for.

You don't see this on the run on the rundown often, which is under the cut for dress section on the right, where it tells you everything that was cut after dress.

And sometimes there's cut at air or whatever it's called.

This is an added on air, meaning it wasn't at dress.

It wasn't even part of the plan.

And that is hot air balloon.

So it wasn't even like they had in their back pocket for when they get screwed, basically, because it's a live show and they look at the time.

Wait, are you saying that it hadn't aired and it aired this one time or it aired?

No, it didn't air.

It aired before.

Wow.

This is an emergency situation because they looked at how much time left was in the show.

Commercial parodies used to air like three times a year.

The same ones.

Exactly.

They saw that whatever first coughs is, which was the final five-to-one sketch, wasn't long enough to get you to the 1 a.m.

And they.

I remember, now that you mentioned it, Keith, they realized last minute they needed horses and nobody could find it.

And Lauren was like,

and he was like running down the hallway.

It was like Joan Cuzak in broadcast news.

And he had to, like, just like dodge in people.

He's like, I know where it is.

I've got a magnet.

It's got to be in here somewhere.

And he just, I mean, I remember he made it.

And it's maybe the happiest.

I, like, second to the 50th, it's the happiest I've seen him.

Like, he was like, I can't believe I got it.

You've been saying stuff ever since.

I'll get it.

But I've been laughing at that the whole time.

Did you see how fast I was booking?

I was just booking down those holes.

Oh my God, you see how fast I went?

Oh my God.

And then the elevator didn't come.

I was like, fuck.

I mean, Andy,

come on.

The morning pod worked out well for you.

This is it.

This is great.

Let's always do it this early.

This is great.

Working out for me, I'll tell you that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

New York 130.

I feel like Andy was in such a good mood about this Lauren bit.

He forgot he was on a pod for a second.

And then you brought him.

Don't say it.

I said it, and I, the light just went out of his eyes.

He was like, oh, right, that's what this is.

Yeah, right.

Fuck you guys.

That's right.

It was like the end of the movie Brazil where you think Jonathan Prey has escaped and then you're like, spoiler.

Yeah, come on.

Well, that was a pleasure.

That was really fun.

All right.

Love you guys.

Love you, buds.

Love you.

Take care.

Take care out there.

Be safe out there.

Be safe out there.

Be good.

Be well.
