Transcript

It's the lonely

island and Seth Myers podcast.

Rolling.

All right, we're fucking back, guys.

I'm gonna pop off first.

This is rare for me.

Yorm, you're sitting up and clothed and looking like a normal gray dude in your home.

Yeah.

And Andy, I clothed myself.

Whoa.

Brother.

I wish I had nothing.

That's news to my music.

It took a while to put on the underwear, but...

Oh, I was...

Damn it, that was...

I was trying to hit the flaws one

you gave him a debbie downer you accidentally debbie downered him yeah

it was also accurate yeah it works it works i i'm also enjoying that yorm um is sitting in front of his wall of trophies yeah oh it's a little show button i didn't realize that is that where your zoom is set up for meetings right now yeah this is a new shelf so i'm i apologize for this but like but this is also mario's trophies which are there's a lot i didn't get any rotten tomatoes uh certified fresh trophies, guys.

None of that.

Gotcha.

That doesn't happen to me.

I didn't know you could get those.

Yeah, I would say it's the ugliest of the awards.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Is that something you need to order?

Like the Peabody?

In my opinion.

You probably do have to order it.

You've got a, I mean, Palm Springs certified fresh.

Many certified fresh.

A lot of them are certified fresh, but I wonder, is it, do they just give you an award if it's over 90?

Sorry, Andy, that I'm like, I'm sure there's one, Andy.

Let's start with Popstar.

Popstar certified fresh.

Are you subconsciously, Norman, knowing that you're taking Zooms?

And a lot of people, before they get on with you, are like, I think he's basically dead.

That you want to kind of frame yourself in front of your past successes?

No, no, no.

So when I was doing Zooms, I was doing them at a place called Rusk Rehabilitation Center in New York.

Shout out everyone there and all the nurses who are unbelievable.

And thank you so much for everything, seriously.

And, but no, I was doing Zooms in my hospital bed because I was like, this will show dedication.

So like, I, and the funniest one I did was another name-droppy story.

I was doing a Zoom with Mr.

Daniel Radcliffe and a bunch of other people and then I ended the Zoom and was like, you guys, this is the first time that I've peed during a Zoom and I held up my bottle of urine.

Oh, you showed them, you did that for us last podcast and I didn't like it.

If you had asked, should I do this on business Zooms, I would have been waiting.

Have I already told this story and I'm already forgetting?

Cause I'm back to being forgetful.

No, you did it to us.

I think he also told us.

Jesus Christ, guys.

Well, you definitely showed us your piss.

No, I think he just did this.

This is now we've reached a part in the movie Awakenings where everybody just goes back to normal.

Like, Norm had a moment.

Like, he had like

post-ladder where his memory was just sharper than it's ever been.

Yeah.

Homer took the crayon out of his brain.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well,

back in, guys.

Back in.

Norm,

what's the crystal, for lack of a better word, I hate saying this, but the crystal butt plug?

You hate saying that.

Sure, you do, Keith.

It pains me to say this, but what's the crystal butt plug?

It hopefully pains me to say this.

For something that pained you, it came out real smooth, Keeve.

Yeah, hopefully it pains me just a little bit, but not too much.

He picked up a crystal butt plug, but what's funny is it's not even the crystal butt plug I was looking at.

There's multiple.

A lot of these awards are crystal butt plug.

Oh, yeah, what's that one, Yoram?

The one you're holding?

This one is

S-I-Y-F-F F F Eyes of Award.

It's from Korea.

I don't know how she won it, but it was from Seoul and it was for international feature or something.

It was Dire of a Teenage Girl.

Okay, and then what's the one right next to it?

That also

the super sharp one?

Yeah, I guess maybe it's, but it also looks like a see-through diamond.

This guy, yeah, there.

That's the crystal bubble.

I was looking at Montclair Film Festival.

Yorm, does that certified fresh award say on it like for getting

95% on or something?

Does it say something specific?

One second.

No,

it's very basic.

Maybe that was just a long time ago they did that.

I used to have an animated show called The Awesomes on Hulu.

Andy did a voice.

Andy played an Aquaman character named Seaman.

Yep.

And the jokes were what you think.

Yep.

But I remember we got nominated for some animation award.

And this happens a lot for anyone who's listening.

Andy alluded to the fact you have to pay for these physical awards.

I remember they were like, hey, you didn't win, but you guys want to buy the nominee awards?

It's literally like, what a racket.

And so anyway, I have two of them.

Okay, good.

Congrats.

Yes, sir.

Sign right here.

Yeah.

10 grand well spent.

I'm going to go very far away.

By the way, definitely got paid less for the awesomes than 10 grand.

Well, by the way, didn't we?

We all got pea bodies because we were at SNL when

I do.

I did buy my Peabody.

I like my Peabody.

And what is your say on it?

Because I...

Also, by the way, I am in my childhood home.

I brought my daughter to visit my parents this weekend.

And my parents have the framed Peabody certificate.

It actually looks like a proper thing.

Yes.

Yeah.

Well, the Peabody Award, I think, is actually quite nice.

It has this little penny guy.

So if you're going to win any, get the Peabody.

But check out what mine says.

Oh, it says you're a genius.

It says Yormat Taconi, writer slash slash genius.

You could put anything you wanted on the Peabody, which seems erroneous to me.

Yeah, they shouldn't.

Well, I think they were like, nobody's going to take advantage of it.

and they did not account for Mr.

Yor McTacony.

Sarcasm.

I wish I had spelled genius incorrectly.

That would have been more of a Yarm movie.

Kevin says, we are Webby winners.

If you recall, we won the, I believe, the Audience Award for best ensemble hosts.

Ensemble.

And we're nominated for hottest web hosts.

We got sent that by someone in our text thread.

Yeah.

People magazine, hottest, hottest podcast hosts.

We're up against Bowen and Matt.

Oh, fuck.

I hope we win.

Fuck.

That is actually a tough competition.

But his question was.

Because I noticed you were fraternizing with the competition online this week.

Oh, yeah.

I was.

I didn't know.

By the way, I was fraternizing before we knew that we were head-to-head on the hot podcast.

Oh, you'll never do it again.

Was I missing an R fraternizing?

Fratris.

You wanted me to be fratriciding.

Yeah, I'm always

want you to fratricide.

For those that don't know, Seth did a daytime drinking special segment with Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers,

the podcast hosts of Las Culturistas.

Yorks Ladder tried to commit frapper side.

Oh, that's good.

Frapper.

I was trying to get it in there.

I didn't want to interrupt you, Keith, but I had it in the hopper, and I just, I needed to get it out.

He did want to interrupt.

By the way, between the last thing Andy said and that, he's been sitting like slowly going cross-eyed.

Yeah, kind of a pained look on my face, like, oh, I got to say this bad thing.

By the way, I've for the last like minute, I've been like, is there an award for unsung ensemble?

And I was like, no, this isn't funny enough to say.

Unsung Ensemb?

Unsung Ensemble.

I think that would be a fun award.

Give me an example of an unsung ensemble.

The cast of Taxi.

Yes.

Nobody'd like that show.

I think they're pretty sung, though.

I think they were pretty sung back in the day.

I like where you're going, but they're fairly sung.

Oh, yeah.

There are, of course, no lyrics sung in the theme sung to taxi, except for the time that Maya and Keenan sang.

Frukako, google, gag, wake, wak-kakak, google, wi-be,

Fruke Saga Labe,

and then he sang, This song is indeed Taxi.

There's also a really good Souls of Mischief song, B-side underground song, where they use that as a sample.

Oh my god,

Akiva, there's already like seven tangents I have to return to, but I do believe that Akiva was starting by wanting to ask, did we have to pay for our Webbies?

That is what the catching question really was.

And the answer was yes.

We had a resounding yes in the chat.

That's what I do not have one, so I'm assuming that's because I didn't pay for it.

Yeah.

Did any of you pay for yours?

What a prude this guy is.

I don't know if I have one.

I don't either.

But the Webby, I will say, for what the Webby is, looks nice.

It's like a spirally coil.

I think it's pretty good for those.

I do want to say that I went day drinking with Bowen and Matt.

It was delightful.

Yeah.

You whore.

Not the drunkest I've ever been.

By the way, this does tie into today's short because the drunkest I ever was was with your co-starring in Cheyron.

Oh,

but I will say that I walked out and I was like, I'm feeling pretty good.

Now, don't get me wrong, I was very drunk, but I'm like, I'm feeling pretty good about this one.

And then got a text from Kimmel being like, I'm suspended and the future looks dark.

Oh, God, it was

bad timing.

During that shoot?

At the end of it, as I literally walked out there.

Oh, my God.

That's horrible.

Well, at least it wasn't during.

It wasn't during.

That's true.

What happened with him?

Did he get back on the air?

We don't want to tell.

We don't want to spoil it for you.

Oh, okay.

I've been catching up on South Parks, guys.

Hey,

this is completely off topic, but can I just say, and maybe, by the way, knowing you guys and your connection,

you might

haven't already gotten a taste of it.

It is palpably exciting when there's a new Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

Oh, man.

Oh, my God.

I mean, I'm trying to see it.

Dying to see it.

Okay.

So nobody here has seen it.

No.

No.

Okay.

I mean, but isn't it just like a feeling that we used to have a lot more and now it's very rare and it's so cool.

To be like, there's a movie coming out I'm actually excited to see.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, well, there's that, but like, but for me, it goes double because I'm just, I've just been excited to see which places in my neighborhood are wheelchair accessible, like ADD, like, what is it?

ADA?

ADA accessible?

Yeah.

So I'm just excited to go to a movie and actually be able to sit in the wheelchair seat.

You're going to have lots of room.

By the way, not a lot of places in Brooklyn super weird chill

accessible.

I'm surprised, actually.

That was the word I was going to say.

I also think you might want to see if they have ADHD accessible theaters.

Yeah.

I'm not taking my pills for that, by the way, Andy, right now because I'm taking so many pills.

It stifles my true vision.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When they listed off what I was taking at Rusk, I was like, oh, wowzers.

And they were like, you want to put this ADHD medicine on there?

I was like, no, thank you.

Wow,

wow.

No, don't put that in the cauldron.

We got a bunch of shit to do magic.

Do you think Mari was like, hey, if you're putting together a pan cocktail, could you slip a couple of these in there?

Because I'd love to get that dude like

the kind of shit that makes them schedule better.

Yeah.

The first thing I did the minute I got home was go to the Dominican barber's right around the corner and just like had to get forced in the door.

And then the guy was like trying to cut my hair on the wheelchair.

And I was like, No, thank you.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

Like, hobbled over to the chair.

And then, uh, and then my wife was like, pleased, why this is exactly how this happened in the first place.

The best is like, how's how's your arm doing?

It's like, good.

He's falling off a couple of ladders during recovery.

It's not helping.

He said he'd much rather that than accept help from anyone.

I'm going to race through through because this is a big one and I want to get to it.

I'm going to race through some notes that I enjoyed.

People did think it was very good.

Just a preempt though, Seth, I enjoy you.

Okay, go on.

That was sweet.

It was definitely,

people thought it was very cruel that Jorm had to read a life insurance ad right after he almost died.

I wanted to.

I requested that.

Hey, you did a read.

By the way, look, look at this, like old school notes.

What a sweetie.

Keeve, you did a fish read, and people said, I'm surprised you did not say shockingly high-grade fish.

Felt like it was right there for you.

Oh, yeah.

One must prepare.

Make the connection as a bit of a fishmonger myself.

Keeve, you want to just do it a cappella, me and you right now?

The whole song?

Yay!

Sushi, glory hole.

Imagine that.

Ready?

Yeah.

Let's do the whole song a cappella and then people can put their own beats under it.

I had a little bit of job right before this.

I have to confess to my three bros that I had a little bit of job, just a pinch of job, to get me through the cast.

I wasn't looking forward to it, but now maybe it's my favorite.

Great.

My favorite moment of maybe all the pods was you getting super shitty with Yorm at the end of last pod about Brickbreaker and then immediately having to do a 180.

I did like that.

I like that live when I heard it live.

It was one of a live.

It was because it was the truest 180.

Like, you did not try to crack it.

Oh, wait, oh, wait, oh, wait.

Sometimes you're wrong.

You did not make any excuses.

Yeah, yeah.

Seth, I'm famous for my great apologies.

Somebody said, these are two comments that I just, I'm going to read them without editorializing, and then Andy, you can respond.

Akiva's daughter has officially done more ad reads than Andy.

Yeah.

Oh, that's a burn.

And then another one.

I love that Yorm literally cheated death and still did an ad read instead of Andy.

Andy loves that too.

All right.

Sorry.

I made, I did promise.

Addie wants to say hi real quick, and I'm going to say, you know what?

I'll just have her say something nice about pistachios so this can count as the new ad.

Oh, that rips.

Just further shaming me.

Say hi to my friends.

Hi.

Hi, Addie.

Can you say, buy pistachios, everybody?

Buy pistachio true.

Everything's gonna come over.

Oh, you improved it.

I still think it counts, and I think it's good.

It's a good marketing stream.

You have to say, buy pistachios.

Buy pistachio true.

Oh, these are unusable.

We're never gonna get to them.

Oh, my God.

All right, bye.

You make me buy pistachios.

Bye, see you tomorrow.

I don't think you will see him tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

It's hard enough to figure out Fridays.

Man, oh man, the job might be wearing off.

Wait, Seth, have you gone through all of your comments?

No, I've got a few more.

Please jump in, Jorm.

I've got

to say that I'm just now getting through, since I'm home finally, I'm just now getting through like the stacks of...

Oh, yeah.

It's so overwhelming, honestly.

I mean, I'm going to not, I'm not going to cry when I say this, but like, but people have written such nice things.

I also had somebody on a postcard just write the word penis, and I thought that was very funny.

Only thing that they said.

And I'm going to try not to cry.

It's on the road.

But honestly.

I mean, I think it was penis.

The end got super smudgy from what I cried all over.

It was just

fucking genius.

Could have been penis.

It might have been the penitentiary that he was from.

But, but no, people have like gotten just such nice presents and cards and letters.

And I really, I'm not going to be able to write back to all of them.

But thank you guys so much.

It really means the world to me.

And And I've definitely teared up at quite a few of them.

So anyway, thank you.

I, you know, we set up a P.O.

box because we have one for the show.

And so the stuff comes to us first.

And so I'm seeing like bags of it.

And it's genuinely touching to me as well, Jorm.

And I get choked up.

Not because of that.

I get choked up because right next to it is the stuff they take out of my P.O.

box.

And it's usually like one postcard with like a moth flying around it.

You get choked up because you're sad.

Yeah, because I'm like, nobody got me shit.

Yeah, because it's just like jealous.

By the way, this hat was also a present.

I don't know if you guys can see it.

Oh, yeah, solid.

He got the Queen Bee solid.

Queen Bee solid.

Yeah, I needed two hints today.

We can get that out of the way so people can log off.

So not a not a quibby.

Do you know another way to say solid on Queen Bee?

What?

I completed the New York Times Mini.

Now that

is some fucking puzzle humor.

That is so deeply nerdy.

Wait, I'm going to go.

Seth, no exaggeration.

I'm here for it.

Shocking.

Oh, my God.

Seth, all told, all told, it's giving me life.

Speaking of giving me life, somebody wrote a comment under the YouTube comments for Two Worlds Collide.

Somebody said, This brought me so much joy, especially when the world is a dumpster fire.

And the comment underneath it was like, Just remember, when the world is a dumpster fire, check in the dumpster and you might find a wig.

Oh, yeah.

I love every wig.

You know what?

I'm going to give you a task Yorm.

I do feel like I would like to see your first approach at a not a gonk t-shirt.

Not a gonk.

Okay, yeah.

Thank you.

I mean, right?

Like, just let's, we, we, as the other three of us, would love to see what you, what your balance is on that.

Okay.

Okay.

A couple of other real-life two worlds collides that have been brought up to me.

Uh, Nelly and Tim McGraw.

Oh, yeah.

That was maybe the truest, maybe closest to this.

Yeah, that's a fucking

about it entirely.

Uh, Phil Collins Collins and Bone, Thugs, and Harmony.

Is that

I think it is real?

No, bro, that's AI.

I googled it because it didn't seem real to me.

It's just the Tarzan soundtrack, and is it real?

That's fresh on my mind.

It's called Home, and it's a Bone Thugs and Harmony soundtrack.

And is it sampling him, or he's singing a new part for them?

I don't know.

He's in the video.

I literally just pulled up the YouTube video.

Bone Thugs and Harmony.

They sampled him and he's in the video, like Bob Dylan in the Gauntlet of November video for Wycliffe, or like he's collabing on the track i need to know seth uh all right it says featuring uh phil collins right but but that still could just be that they said you know what samples from take me home thank you gotcha but maybe he

could have re-sung it he could have but he's in the video he's in the video they said there was a day where they shot in one airport and it was a lot of rap acts and then the iconic white musicians would sit in the airport waiting area like bob dylan and the that's what bob dylan's in an airport and gone till november yeah he's in an airport almost as if it happened on accident You think it happened on accident?

Oh, shit, there is.

I can't believe he's not in the lounge.

Get him, get him, get him.

He didn't know.

Do you think Bob Dylan...

Hey, Andy, you're here.

You're auditioned for Bob Dylan, not knowing he had lounge access.

We're so excited.

All right.

Well,

this is like complete unknown, but we wanted to take even a smaller slice of Bob Dylan's career.

Right, right.

Hey, Andy Samer, greeting for Bob Dylan, not knowing that he had access to the lounge and ended up in the White Cleft John Gone Till November video.

Should I just start?

Yep.

Okay.

I'm going to stop.

I'm going to just take off.

Thank you so much for your time.

And I know whoever you choose is going to crush it.

And if you need help, like a side character, maybe sort of like an engineer guy who was in his life.

Sure, sure.

Or I don't know if you want me to play Wyclef.

I could try that.

Or just maybe somebody in the lounge.

Keeve, you have a good YCLF, right?

Hit us.

Yeah, it's gone till November.

Oh, exactly.

Somebody said, hey,

while you're talking about making Lonely Island shirts, if Yor makes a pair of Lonely Island pants, I think

the butt should be a Dennis Franz butt.

I don't know how you do that, but yeah.

Yeah, I'm not sure what that would look like.

Just be a hot butt.

Wait, here's my favorite, though.

Also, somebody said it was, they literally go, I think I learned about what happened with Kimmel and ABC because you guys talked about how NYPD Blue got taken off the air for Franz butt.

Like they felt like that was like an intro level as far as that was their entry point to understanding like free speech concert like the power affiliates have.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, that was kind of an inflection point.

That was an inflection point.

Yeah.

You always say from Franz's butt to Kimmel's mouth.

Oh, it was from that TV critic that you're friends with that wrote you an email about.

Seven wall.

Yeah.

Alan Sevenwall.

What's Alan watching?

I feel like you guys both just miss Seth saying, saying, I always say

from Franz's butt to Kimmel's mouth.

Yeah.

Which, of course, I do.

Thank you for reminding me.

Of course.

Yeah.

My last, the one that like really made me like slap both palms on my desk because it made me laugh so hard.

Yeah.

Because I believe it to be true.

That there are people in this world who their first introduction to Reba McIntyre was that video.

Oh no.

That's how you hear it.

And then maybe

literally somebody wrote, today I learned Reba isn't black.

Because like that part's never explained.

No, they might just think, oh, it's it's some country singer.

I don't know.

They may think it's like a black singer.

But like that was, they were like, oh, oh, wow.

And just much older than him.

Yeah.

I think there might have to be a special like catch-up episode on some sketches that we have kind of not had time to get to.

I was going to say we have kind of been dipping out on the episodes and the Seth's corners, and I do enjoy that.

Well, I'm keeping a list.

Is it because the shorts are better, and so we're talking about them more?

It was a robust hour talking about Two Worlds Collide.

I think we're also just goofing more, guys.

Yeah, there's a a lot of goofs.

There's a lot of talking about, like, say, people's wives' awards and whether or not they would or wouldn't make good butt plugs.

Akiva.

They would.

That's the answer.

I hope it doesn't hurt.

Akiva.

They do.

Fine.

So we can decide.

There were two in the last episode, which was

Joseph Gordon Levitt, Jogo Lev.

First, Roger Brush.

Do you guys remember who Roger Brush is?

No.

Roger Brush is a long intro of Nassim hosts like a woman's issues QA show where she engages with the audience.

And then it just cuts to Fred as her producer.

He's like, I'm Roger Brush.

And it said he's filling in for this woman because she's sick.

And it's like Fred having to answer very embarrassing personal questions from women in the audience.

And he basically can't hear them.

And then he gives them bad advice.

It just does ring a bell.

It's a lot of like, you gotta, you gotta speak up, baby.

A lot of really condescending.

Yeah.

Honey,

I can't hear you, honey.

A lot of that.

Really good.

There's a picture of him in the chat, if you forget what he looks like.

I feel like that's got to be based on somebody who worked at Dirty Real.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's no way.

I remember.

Yes, it felt very true to that

crew.

It was a lot of like people like, and very well acted by like Abby and Jenny and just like, I am not, you know, I can't have an orgasm with my boyfriend.

And he's like, all right, here's what you got to do.

Young lady, here's my advice, okay?

You go home

and you put on some lipstick and you put on some eyeshadow and you get your hair done and you come home to your boyfriend and you say, I'm sorry, baby.

I'm sorry for what?

Honey, I don't know what else to tell you.

He's constantly like, I don't know what to tell you.

Just worst.

I will say, like, he does think he's being helpful.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, which is the good friend thing.

And the other was, um, I think her name's Mindy Grayson.

It was that Wig sketch, A Secret Word, where it was like that old sort of password game where the premise is Wig's character is sort of this old Broadway actress who always says the one word you're not allowed to say.

Oh, yeah, a secret word, yeah.

And the best thing about it is it's like as a premise, it's very easy to get ahead of it.

Except Wig has a different funny way to say a word you know she's going to say.

Yeah.

Time and time again.

Yep.

Which makes it incredible to watch.

So anyway.

It would crush too.

I remember every time just being like, okay, we're doing it again.

And then it would just destroy.

Yeah, just her being like, how?

Hallelujah.

Wig characters that want to say something are always going to work.

It's such a funny move.

You're right.

Yeah, like you're not supposed to say something, but you want to.

Like surprise party woman.

What is the name of the surprise lady?

What is the name of the?

No, no, that's Aunt Linda.

Surprise party lady.

I can't remember her name, but yeah, yeah same oh there's gonna be something something you can't say

alexi still sometimes will just go here at takasawis because there was a

they tell her late there's gonna be a surprise party at a sushi restaurant

support comes from viore oh my god now has viore reached out to you keeve and said you know your wife liz is now basically our international spokesperson you know they haven't yet but i'm i'm standing by the phone i'm expecting that call because that was i mean, it's almost an insult to Viore for it to be you and I now without Liz.

But let me just say, I've never met a person whose life has been more positively affected by a new line of clothing than your wife, Liz, by Viore.

You put a huge smile on her face.

And I think our ad, among Quades, if you looked at the graph, there's a big spike in Veori sales after that ad.

Yeah, now if I see somebody walking down the street, like head to toe in Viore, it's almost like 95% they're going to say Quade Army to me.

Yeah, are they the ones that whisper it kind of as an aside or are they the yellers?

They're the yellers because, let me tell you, the people who wear Viori, they got a lot of energy.

You know what I mean?

Because these are workout people.

They're core short.

You know, that's one short every sport.

Soft, lightweight, breathable box at brief liners.

You can go from the gym to hanging out without changing.

The Sunday performance joggers are another favorite.

Moisture-wicking fabric.

I take those words right out of my mouth.

I am.

Yeah.

I take it right out of my mouth.

Like, I was going to say, moisture-wicking fabric and five pockets.

You didn't join me.

I thought you were going to.

Oh, I know, but I like it.

It is fun hearing hearing how you talk when you think someone's going to tell you.

Yeah, three with zippers, so your stuff

stays put.

Yeah, you got it, Seth.

God,

hang him out to dry.

You know what?

You don't have to hang out to dry.

Keep we've been talking about going to some of these like local art fairs to start selling our homemade Lonely Island podcast shirts.

Yeah, and I've been quilting, and that's just exactly how I want to sell it, but I've been worried about like the details of trying to become a small business.

I don't want to bring a big old change box and saying I'm cash only.

I don't want to, I certainly don't want to be dealing with checks.

No, I need people to be able to pay with their phones and whatnot.

Yeah, it's crazy because I have to open my laptop, get the self-facing camera out, hold up my phone because otherwise you won't see what I'm taking a picture of.

You put a lot of work into those photos.

Yeah, I use the Photo Booth app on the laptop to photograph me with the phone with the Shop Pay purple logo.

All right.

Now we have a very, I mean, this is

a really classic, awesome one.

I didn't remember we did Reba and Shirani back to back.

I certainly didn't either.

There's an off week because this is December 5th.

The last one was the 21st.

So I had to.

So we're a couple weeks.

We had a couple weeks there, but still

back-to-back shows.

Fucking heat.

Bringing the heat.

So Jorm, you weren't really here this week.

This was a Magruber edit week.

Yes.

And I know that because I remember as me and Andy tortured ourselves through the week with nothing and had a few Andy, do you remember what our stopped attempt was there was one that we went down the road on we had a whole song written that she approved really and then we were like it's not it was it was a theme song for planet earth oh right yeah and it was to the same beat and it was all basically being it started off just like sort of as a riff on like when people are repping for their city yeah yeah like but i'm from earth and we were like what if somebody did one of those for earth and it kept going into how all these snooty astronauts keep trying to go to the moon and leave earth is it not good enough for you and it was pretty funny but we knew it was like a bee and wasn't quite making us laugh but we had had the idea for shirani before that and we kept not doing it because we were like it's too similar to saxman and we don't want to blow that in case we ever did a saxman video and then finally we got to the point where we were like should we just record it and then we recorded it wrote it and recorded it i want to say in like less than an hour it came yeah but it was fast but it was late Thursday night.

Oh, yeah, it was like four in the morning.

And I remember like calling Yorm because Saxman is a Yorm joint and he wasn't even there.

And we're like, We hate everything we've been doing.

We have to go with some Rihanna.

It's Thursday night at like midnight or 1, 2 a.m.

We're fucked here.

We're trying one.

We acknowledge it is ripping off your Saxman structure.

Premise.

Yeah,

exactly.

A different character, but it's the format of Saxman, of Saxman.

No, I remember being very pleasantly flattered that we were basically doing like within our group, group like comedy on comedy crime like hey is this okay I was like yeah man this is this is our I mean certainly wasn't the first time it wouldn't be the last where we were like we know that there's a little bit of crossover like structurally yeah

but it was also just like I think we had maybe talked a few times about like it would be great to do a video for Saxman and worrying that if we did shyrani that it would make it that we wouldn't it's funny because they seem like such different worlds to me i feel like it'd be fun.

Yes, you could definitely do that.

I mean, we did a lot of overthinking, I feel like.

I think we still could do a Sax-Man video and it would still be super funny.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The funny thing would be how Lauren would have responded if you said, like, in between dress and air, it's too close to Sax Man.

Pull it.

We got to pull it.

He would have slapped me with the back of his glove.

Okay, this is the way.

This is a dumb question, but again, I'm on Geva Pentendant right now.

This is the first Chironi that we're talking about.

We're not talking about the thing.

Yeah.

So, Keeve, like, yes, I just remember that I was there at the beginning of the week and we met with her.

I don't think I recorded her at all, though.

Like, but we met with her and I remember like there being like, oh, we were feeling each other out and da-da-da.

And then we played her Ross Trent.

Yeah, this is the Ross Trent week that we talked about a little bit during the Ross Trent.

Yes, yeah, yeah.

But I just like remember being so geeked at how watching her laugh at that.

She was the perfect audience for us.

Oh my God.

Just every reference, got everything, was like looking at her people like these motherfuckers.

And I was like, oh my God.

Yeah.

It was the audience we had been waiting for for Ross Trent since we had made it.

Somebody from the Caribbean who would understand everything that was in it.

It was the only person we had ever looked in the face who knew what we were doing.

Or we're just like, how did you know that?

Yeah.

Also, if it's not implied, we were huge Rihanna fans.

Yeah.

Which, by the way, it's Rihanna.

It is.

Which we learned also that week.

She told us it's Rihanna.

And we were like, why don't you correct people?

She's like, I don't care.

i also know it's rihanna and i still say rihanna because it feels like it it's i one i know she doesn't care and two it seems like you're saying it wrong it's almost like rihanna is her stage name she had already recorded on the song because we did our temp which was andy as usual the our thursday 2 a.m temp and andy went rihanna and shai runny and then she was so great at recording exactly andy's inflections to get the jokes perfect yeah and she did that.

And then it was like, either just before or just after, I heard her say her name to somebody else out loud.

And I went, why did you just say Rihanna?

Wait, is your name Rihanna?

She's like, it's fine either way.

And I'm like, what does your mom call you?

And she's like, Rihanna.

And then I was like,

and by the way, it's Rob, and it's Robin after all that as well.

Yeah.

But it's always funny to me when people say that because you're like, well, then there is a right answer.

Like, you answered it.

It's like, no, the other one's wrong.

The person who knew it first who named you.

Yeah.

I think it, but like, look, her vibe is very much like, it's all good.

No, it's the best.

It was the best.

The fact that she was repeated Rihanna in the song, it didn't matter at all.

By the way, I relate as a Schaefer Schaffer.

Yeah.

My mom is diehard Schaffer, but her parents said Schaefer.

Yeah.

And that's why I'm not a stickler when people get it wrong.

Quote unquote.

You know who sticks a little for you?

Liz.

Yeah.

Your wife will

correct people.

Yeah.

Which I, which I like.

Yeah.

Well, Liz doesn't fuck around.

She doesn't.

If someone asks me, I tell them Shaffer, but I don't I don't care.

I try not to be prone to exaggeration.

I believe this is the best a human being has ever looked on film.

And that is

Andy Danny.

That is Rihanna.

That is not Sambra.

But truly cannot take my eyes off her no matter how many times I've watched it.

Yeah, it's star shit.

She's just so magnetic.

As soon as we started shooting, we were like, oh.

Oh, God.

Well, you guys, we guys talk about the shoot a little bit?

Yeah, we should talk about it.

Because I remember seeing you the next day, and it was a very funny way to see both of them.

But this is, I think we've alluded to this, or maybe talked about a teeny bit in the past about how this is our

where we've lost all credibility with our peers and bosses at SNL was on this one.

Oh my God, I love it.

As judgers of our own work, of having any perspective on what we're doing.

Well, to be fair, to be fair, you were fucking exhausted.

I remember like just looking at you and being like, oh, shit.

Like, I actually got to edit McGruber and I got to go home while I'm sort of on time.

And then just seeing you and being like, oh, that's what my my life is like.

Just looking at a man who's just like beaten and like,

fucking, what the fuck is this shit?

We knew that Rihanna was down to do a short all week.

So we were not going to stop.

And as Andy said, we had made a whole other song.

So we had stayed up all night, probably Monday night, definitely Tuesday night, definitely Wednesday night, and definitely Thursday night.

So we were, yeah, we were crazy people.

Oh my God.

You were basically finished with editing.

We were shot.

Also in the middle of a stretch of shows, but ended up being worth it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, but no, but here, let's talk about it, it, though, because honestly, what happens a lot at the show is that we're waiting around for the host to be able to be available.

And oftentimes, that conflicts with the rest of the show.

And so she was unable to make it.

And like it got shorter and shorter.

And you're going to burn out.

We built a set for the mountaintop from the mountaintop down to the boys and girls.

So we had a mountaintop set.

Did we have a third set, Andy?

Obviously, we had the classroom set that the short is in.

We had three sets.

There was a mountaintop, and it was fire and ice.

So it was like a snowy mountain and then then like a fiery, like

a volcano set or something.

Yeah, it was at least three.

I thought you had four.

So we had three sets.

We had a noon shoot time planned.

And she showed up at 8 p.m.

And we hadn't recorded the song yet at that point.

We had our version, but not hers.

Right.

And so at 8 o'clock, the crew has been sitting on their hands for eight hours being paid.

Nothing has been shot yet.

And then we have to very nicely go upstairs back to our office with her

to calmly record the song.

Yeah.

By the way, we only have 15 minutes.

So we're like, okay, let's get started.

By the way, this was the first for us too, is they kicked us out of our office.

Yes.

Her team came in, they put like silks over all the lamps and dimmed all the lights and lit candles.

And then her and her engineer got on Yorm's computer on his desk.

His name was Marcos.

Yeah.

And he was lovely.

He was super nice.

Fuck up.

And they were like, okay.

And we were like, you don't want us to like talk through?

She's like, I got it.

Yeah, because she had heard our demo.

So we were like sitting outside on the couch like little kids.

And then we could sort of hear it happening.

Oh, my God.

And then they opened the door.

She's like, okay.

It took maybe 30 or 40 minutes max.

And they played it back for us.

And we were like, oh, shit.

It's like.

It was perfect.

Yeah.

It was exactly what you heard.

She had any little comedic inflection that Andy had put on, you know, whatever the line is.

Keep up or whatever it is.

Speak up.

Whereas speak up.

There you go.

Speak up was perfect.

andy andy be honest because i remember you being very proud i remember you being like um it was like exactly what i did like exactly i'm just like

nobody can do i was proud i was proud of what i had written melodically that she was like yeah it's good and then did it and it sounded good and i was like shit yeah you're talking about for the choruses yes yeah yeah in particular nobody can get the comedic inflections the same as anybody else and i'm talking about the best comedians like in an animated movie if you do temp and fall in love with your temp and then get the best comedian, they're putting it in their own cadence.

People can't

say lines the same way other people do.

And she perfectly,

okay, Keeve, hot take.

So you're saying that you think Rihanna is talented.

Yeah, payback.

I do.

Then I know we're going to do the watch as well.

Because then you have less time to shoot it.

No, while we're sitting on this couch, waiting for her to record, not knowing how long it's going to take, the entire crew is still down on, I think, your floor, I think on your stage where you do your show now, just sitting on their hands.

How, how long did you guys actually have to shoot?

Because I thought you had like 45 minutes to shoot with her or whatever.

As it goes down to over, as it turns into overtime, yes.

And then, again, this whole week started because her team, her manager stuff, came into us before we even met her and said, she would love to do one of your shorts.

And it was, and we were like so flattered, but clearly, in hindsight, it was them just saying, like, we think it'd be great if she did one of your shorts.

Yes.

Not to say she ever was against it, but it was not clearly something where she was like, I got to do it.

She was lovely, but it was so funny then because then after showing up at eight and then doing this, and then we get down there and we're finally about to roll cameras at 10 and they're like, how long is this going to take?

You can have her for like an hour.

And we were like, you're, and it was the exact same people who had asked us to do it.

And by the way, we started, they came in.

I was standing next to you, Keith, when they said that because we had, and I, but by the way, standing next to you, dressed like Shironi

and we had been waiting the eight hours or whatever.

And they were like, I guess we'll just shoot the one set.

No,

we didn't even know that yet.

We were like, well, we can still get it all.

We're just going to go crazy late.

Yeah.

And they were like, hey, we got to get out of here.

We could maybe do like 45 minutes.

I think you guys shot for 45 minutes.

And like, and granted, it's all on steady, which is like great.

It has like the sheen of money.

It looks super nice.

Well, yeah, as soon as you cut, as soon as she walks on camera, you're like, oh, that's all you need.

It's going to work.

Yeah.

But by the way, just imagine me, Seth, dressed like Shirani after the publicist walks away, turning to Akiva and going, I can't believe this.

We're out of our minds.

We've been up all night for a while.

We're basically speed freaks at this point.

And now, and now we're 11 hours late for a shoot.

But it was so funny the next morning because I don't know how much you slept, Keith, but I walked in to the editing room and you were so mad.

You were like, it's fucking ruined.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, don't, you don't have to.

I mean, that's the end of this thing.

So

at 10:30 at night, we finally go, okay, let's just do the classroom.

We'll just shoot every shot at her and we'll let her leave.

So we got every one of her takes really quickly, 45 minutes, and she left.

Then I did Andy's same direction of Andy's stuff.

And I think, had we stole some of the kids' stuff during the day?

Because also the kids couldn't be there all day.

I want to say we got the kids after she left.

Yeah, you would have had to.

Right.

Because they were in some of her shots in the wide, obviously.

So I think after she left, we got the kids.

I don't know how.

I don't know if at some point we sent kids home and got a new batch of kids.

I have no, I have no idea how those kids were there for so long because you can't have kids there.

Anyway, in Prague, by the way, I shot a commercial there specifically so we could uh run that kid into the ground shot for 16 hours with him that's horrible in progress it is i've made them i i made them buy him a weed because i was like you guys are terrible this is

and they like just plied him with absinthe or yeah sausages and like rye bread keep going keep keep going seth that was a prog joke it was good i liked it thanks dude i know you're kind of into that area of the world i do want to say that it's shocking knowing how fast you shot this that means that like her takes are like you probably had one or two options.

Cause again, like, outside of how great she sings it, like, facially, she's perfect.

Yeah, she's emoting all the things.

Yes.

There's a few moments, not to like out ourselves.

There's a few moments where Sink falls out.

Yeah.

We normally wouldn't settle on.

Towards the very end, she has a line that's completely out of sync.

Can I say something though?

So in seeing you, Keeve, this is just a testament to Akiva.

You're so convinced.

You are so convincing that I remember looking at it and being confused because I was like, this is really in my mind.

I'm like, this is good.

This is really funny.

And then looking at you being like, it's ruined and being like, maybe it's ruined.

Like, I was like, maybe this is bad.

I don't understand things.

Yeah.

So, all right.

So we shoot the thing and it's, so it's whatever time it is now, 2 a.m.

or something.

And me and Andy are both because we had all these sets built and we never went even shot on them.

And we don't know what we have.

And we're like, this thing.

And it's the only time I ever went to bed after shooting.

Because you were so pissed.

You're like, fuck it, who cares?

I was so mad.

Yeah.

and I was so tired.

I was so convinced that we hadn't got it, that we didn't get the footage we needed.

That I just was like, no, Andy, I'm coming home.

Like, we're sharing the car.

Not like we didn't live together, but I just mean like, we live in the neighborhood.

And I'm like, no, I'm getting in the car this time.

Every other time, I would go right and edit.

And I was like, it doesn't matter.

I'm going to go to sleep.

Everyone else.

And so I just went home and went to bed.

If you know Akiva, that's the most damning thing.

Like him not working.

And I didn't race in the next day.

I slept till I wanted to sleep.

and I came in at like noon.

Usually, if I did ever go home, I was back like when we did the last two, Here I Go, Sushi Glory Hole, I was the last one in the building before I went home that night, and I was the first one in the building Saturday morning every time.

That was both of us too, on anything we ever worked on.

Exactly.

And this time, not at all.

Got in at noon.

I was like, I guess I'll go check out this piece of shit.

Went up there and because we had no footage, it cut together so fast because I had no choices.

Yeah.

And so it was a little little bit like the movie The Producers.

You guys were like, you were in the lobby being like, it's a bomb.

And then you just were like, oh no, it's working.

It's also funny because I think it actually serves the premise of it because you can't escape the awkwardness.

You're not allowed to go to any other show.

No, it's in one set.

It's a sketch.

Andy spent the entire early afternoon on set down on 8H blocking sketches with everyone going, How's the short?

You have Rihanna in short.

Oh my God, what's it?

And just being like, it's trash.

It's the worst thing we've ever done.

We got no footage.

It's not going to work.

I don't even think it'll be address.

He was up there looking at it.

So he was ruining his reputation

the entire afternoon.

He's such a little bitch.

How is it?

It's not.

It's doing the Dave Chappelle Tia.

I just made his little thing.

Who gives it?

We had two other sets for the choruses, Bill.

Everyone's hearing that.

I'm upstairs just being like, ugh.

And then there was this moment, though, and it must have been after I talked to you, Yorm,

where like enough cuts came together in a row because you know we always cut it chronologically and it got to andy's reveal as shairani and it was so clearly working just on a really obvious level and i think maybe it was kenward or somebody who was in there was ken word laughing with me and i was like

And I had been talking shit because people always came into our edit all day.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I, and I had been doing it.

Well, speak on that, though, because Edit was Matt Yonks' office.

And it was basically a breeze.

It was a hallway.

It was like how you got through to the other side kind of thing.

Yes.

Also, and I'll say this, this is a little tidbit about Keeve.

Doesn't care if there's people all standing around watching him edit.

And I would always be like, get everyone the fuck out of here.

I need to focus.

We need to talk.

And he's just like, like, he just has, doesn't have a thing in his brain that cares about that in the slightest.

And they weren't strangers, but I didn't care.

No.

No, but sometimes just randos would be walking around and they would just stop in and be watching.

And I'd be like, can we?

And you'd be like, what?

I I didn't even notice that.

Yeah, I'm in the zone.

He's in the zone.

You were just,

you were in the tank.

I'm in a flow state.

That's what Seth says.

Yeah.

He's like, ooh, this guy's in the flow.

He's in the flow.

They're like, how's he doing?

I'm like, in the flow.

If there's a moral to this story, it's like.

Whatever you need done, Rihanna can get it done in like 95 minutes.

That's probably

whatever you think you can, whatever you think you need a day for it.

And that's why the whole time she's like, yeah, it's going to be totally fine.

Don't worry about it.

Well, so, yeah.

So anyway, jump ahead.

Sorry, just to close the loop on it.

Yeah, the funny moment of it, I didn't talk to Keeve about this, I was just down on eight, so I still believed it was terrible.

He was sort of split, let's say, yeah, I was coming around and getting embarrassed.

And then, as usual, we met up on the floor at dress rehearsal to watch it play.

And, like, I would say, Keith, like the second the reveal moment happened and the crowd laughed really hard, we looked at each other and like our faces just fell.

We were humiliated, we were just like, oh, we suck.

It's gonna work.

It was a mix of like, holy shit, it's really good.

Yeah.

And, oh my God, we embarrass ourselves in front of everyone we know.

Everyone we know, we've embarrassed ourselves.

The reason that that's so important is because the show was in so, like, so demanding of shorts.

I've just like, you got to do one this week.

Like, credibility mattered.

So, so to be like,

yes, you're right.

I mean, it was also like when it ended, I felt this like weird, like vibrating feeling of like we just got away with the heist of the century or something, you know?

We're just like, oh, God, like the relief was so palpable that it was going to work and we were going to be okay for that week.

But then the whole rest of the night was bumping into people and them going, hey, it wasn't that bad.

And I remember you guys, even at the after party, you're like, yeah, but there was like this mountain set.

I mean, can you imagine how cool that would have been?

We're like, what the fuck?

No,

who cares?

Everyone's like, just take the fucking fucking win.

It was a real lesson on so many levels.

I think about it often in other scenarios when we're doing something where I go, maybe we don't need as much.

Yeah.

Like even on Sushi Glory Hole, where we're in that pitch room, there were moments where it was like, the whole video could be in this pitch room if we bring in enough props.

Like,

it's a shark tank and we can just be in there.

And if we just point to things describing the sushi glory hole and they keep giving us looks and we keep trying to go to the exit, they keep trying to exit and we keep pushing them back.

Easily that whole video could be in that room.

Yeah.

Also, because the two things have a similarity, because there's something about being stuck in one place, yeah, is kind of the comedy of Glory Hole, and you also feel like Shirani, like she's stuck with Shirani, and like you almost feel like the character she's playing would only give Shirani one location.

Yes, you know, if you saw them in four locations, you'd be like, Why is she still doing this?

Yeah, it reveals it's a music video, not

a scene that's happening in real life.

Yeah, I keep will you, real quick, uh, re-edit that video to just be that one location?

Yeah, real quick, just do that.

Yeah, I wonder if we got the footage, but we honestly might have.

We had lots of good props in there and stuff, and lots of footage of them leaving.

Just do it real quick for the video.

There were definitely versions where we stayed in that room longer.

Yeah.

Seth, I believe you said the comedy of being stuck in one place is glory hole.

Yeah.

Which I just thought was kind of an interesting sentence.

Something for a shirt, maybe.

Let's talk about the look, Shirani.

It was based on the sun from a show.

Which show?

Oh.

Does it bum you out that I think your hair looks better, Shirani, than it does in Two Worlds Collide?

No, and I fully agree.

Shirani at least is an intentional and complete look.

Right, right.

I have a lot of love for Shirani.

Like, when I see him, I feel for him.

God, where, what show was it?

Was it like Hung?

Was there a kid on Hung?

Oh, that sounds right.

Is that what it was based on?

He was more like Goth, though.

but we were like, This, but bright red.

And I remember, this is the only at SNL.

I remember us being like, but it can't be too much like Clementine from Daiquiri Girl.

We got to make sure they're different.

It's like, anyone knew what the fuck that was.

Anybody watched that twice?

You just erased your memory as soon as you saw it.

Yeah, there.

Oh, it was?

Is that it?

Yeah,

we're looking at pictures of Hung, the kid from Hung.

It was from the show, Hung.

Oh my god, it came back on the second half.

We were obsessed with this kid because his look was so dope.

Trying to get a bigger picture here.

It's so good.

Yeah, that's really good.

Oh, shit.

That is ironic, bro.

Yeah, a little bit.

Charlie Saxton is his name.

Yeah, shout out Charlie Saxton, buddy.

I hope you're fine.

Hey, Charlie, Charlie, I hope you're a fan of the show.

I can't believe I pulled Hung out of my head.

There he is.

He was funny on that show, too.

By the way, that's a really good reveal years later.

If he does listen to the pod, be like, shit, that's what what it was.

Um, I do want to give credit where credit's due, Andy, shy Ronnie.

One, Rihanna to the day does more with small dance moves than anybody.

I remember during when she was like pregnant at the Super Bowl halftime show, somebody was like, Gosh, it's like she's not even dancing.

I was like, That was never her thing, right?

Yeah, it's always just like, again, it's like these very subtle, whatever she's doing, you wish you could do.

I think what you're trying to say, Seth, is wind pondy rhythm.

Yes.

That is, you know, you always manage to put it in words that I'm far too nervous to try to say.

And the other thing is you have multiple I'm a shy physicality moves over the course of it, Andy.

Yes, I think there's a lot of truth in Shirani for me.

And in all of us.

Yeah, we all have.

We all have a Shirani within.

It's a bit of like just two guys.

It's harnessing whatever that is.

Yeah, your insecurities, your,

well, frankly, shyness.

And Seth, I don't mind telling you, I'm living for it.

This short is everything.

All right, we're going to watch the short.

Also, real quick, when I did day drinking, we talked about this, and she has very fond memories.

That's nice.

I think I've said this before, but my favorite thing about Rihanna is when I see her at things like an award show or something, I still to this day don't know if she knows my name.

She always just goes, Shyroni!

And I am thrilled to be acknowledged.

Every time I see her, she's like, dad, the kid from Hung.

Support comes from Coop.

Hey, Keeve, there are side sleepers, back sleepers, and even the Starfish sleeper.

Do you know what that is, Keeve?

Yeah, it's like Yorm on Girls.

Oh, yeah.

He wasn't sleeping.

It is.

You're right.

It is how Yorm sleeps on Girls.

Coop Sleep Goods.

Well, they had a pillow that was just right for me, Side Sleeper.

Their original adjustable pillow is the bestseller.

And for side or back sleepers, there's the Crescent.

If you run hot at night, the Cool Plus adjustable pillow has advanced cooling built in with a blend of cooling gel memory foam and microfiber.

And I think about you every time I use it, Keith, because you're always telling me to stay cool.

That's right.

And you know why I think about it?

Because Andy stole mine.

Did he really?

Must be good.

Yeah, they sent us some so we could try them.

Four came to me.

And then we sent it to people who read the ads.

So Andy didn't get his own.

No, no, he did.

They sent all four.

We each selected two we wanted to try out.

I had selected the crescent and something else, the original adjustable one, I think.

And all four showed up to the office and he took all four on them.

On accident.

Yeah, on accident.

Yeah.

But you didn't accidentally bring two back.

Yeah, but they are somewhere in my house.

Okay, good.

They're somewhere in my house.

They're not on your bed.

One of them is the one that was mine that I wanted.

I use it.

Great.

Yeah.

Do you have a positive review for the ad?

Yeah, it's a good pillow.

Great.

See,

it's fun being part of the ad rate.

My favorite thing about ship since I signed up for Target Circle 360, no price markups when I order same-day delivery from tons of local stores.

Only a handful of alcohol retailers and items don't count.

I won't lie, I've had too much fun being like, markups on groceries, not in my fridge.

Markups on pet food, not for my DOG, markups on tools, tools, electronics, home goods, meds, not in my house.

Anyway, it's awesome.

All right, ready.

It's like fire and ice, taking over the whole world.

From the mountain tops down to the boys and girls

and the tree of knowledge grow, cause we plant the seed.

We're the teachers of this, so we got just what you need.

Sharon Elliot,

He does the fitties in ha ha.

I will say that's the longest we've ever, in a watchdown, that's the longest we've ever watched anything because I'm like captivated.

I'm captivated.

Yes, and there's no jokes.

She's just doing it, but it's good.

She's killing it.

The second okay, which now we know she's just copying Andy, but it's perfect that she fits a second one in.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

By the way, her dancing that you were just talking about, I'm like, yep, she's doing a lot with a little.

Yep.

And it's, yeah, more than any of us could do with a lot.

Her performance, acting performance is just perfect.

And I remember looking at the monitor just being like, oh my God.

Because she, again, heard this song for the first time an hour ago, recorded it 45 minutes and has to now remember all the things to say.

And they're not like necessarily rhythmic.

Yeah.

There's not necessarily, you know, in terms of when she has to say them, it's very hard to say these things in sync.

We have been unbelievably blessed in our, all of our careers to work with some unbelievably talented people and making them do stupid shit for the most part.

And there's so many dumb moments that you've had.

I had it with the McGrubber series of just like looking at Sam Elliott and be like, damn, he's good at acting.

And like, just be like, but same thing.

like, Rihanna, you're just like, oh, shit, you see certain people on screen and you're like, wow,

they should be famous.

Yeah, they should be like professionals.

Also, she's obviously she has to match what she's recorded.

And some people, me, for example, would be so in your head that you would not be able to have the great acting performance.

She's also a perfect representation of someone to whom something is dawning on.

You know what I mean?

Like it is dawning on her that this is bad now.

Yeah, like, oh, this is maybe not going to work.

Yeah.

And she had, she went into it with all the hope in the world.

Well, by the way, shout out to the kid who you got the cutaway of because him talking to the knowledge tree of knowledge it grows and the cutaway of that kid.

He's doing a great nod.

Yeah, the kid nodding is a nice Akiva cut.

He's taking notes.

He's learning.

She's planting the seed of knowledge.

Is this a good time to mention that Seth was a clue in the mini?

Oh, okay, let's go on.

Let's keep going.

I mean, he brought up the mini earlier in his great puzzler joke.

He was trying to get us to talk about it.

Yeah, but we didn't take the bait.

Yeah, he was trying to take it that way.

It's fucking real.

We didn't take the gold.

They sent me a little award.

I did pay for it.

It's only 5K.

Mentioned in the mini.

You made the mini.

It's the littlest award.

I can't even see it.

Fucking rip off.

It's written on a gum wrapper in Sharpie's.

It's a little stamp.

By the way, on the website, when you pay the five grand, he doesn't tell you how little it is.

He's got a picture of it.

Five grand for that award.

You made the mini.

You know, that's how they make half their money.

It's next to an Oscar on the website.

You're like, oh, is that big?

And then when I called in, they're like, that was a tiny Oscar.

Right.

It's a little chocolate.

It's a novelty Oscar.

By the way, that has happened to us on Amazon before.

Mari bought a mirror on, and then it was a doll's house mirror.

Yeah, that happens.

Yeah, that's a whole, that's a whole, there's a whole like Twitter threads or whatever about it, Reddits.

I forget what it's called.

What's the other, the other really cheap website that people buy things online?

That's the one that's really notorious for it.

Ah, fuck, I forget what it's called.

Alibaba.

No, no.

Timu?

Timu.

People get T-Mooed a lot.

Oh, people get T-Mooed.

Yeah, I heard Etsy got turned out because it's all AI images now.

All right, let's keep watching.

This okay.

Okay, that one.

She hates her guts there.

Oh, yeah, we get him rocking.

Oh, yeah, all hell of uncomfortable.

Those kids killed it.

Just says knowledge.

Yeah.

No.

No.

the mic away from your face.

Come on, this bee cut the light in my neck.

Oh no,

oh no,

he pissed himself.

He pissed himself.

Oh boy.

Should've just taken yellow ages well.

Age is the best of all the jokes.

They were known for their collabs.

He's trying to be like this.

She's super suspicious.

She thought she heard maybe some hard raps.

Yeah.

Oh my god.

It's amazing to me how much I still love your haha.

It's like it's one of my favorite things ever.

I think we only got her exiting twice, and that's why that last line's out of sync.

Yes, yes.

Well, because we did it all in a one-er, yeah, and then the exit required the cameraman to be in a different position to be able to do that.

No idea what a one-ner is, and I wish somebody would make a show that helped explain it.

Oh, my God.

So lit.

Fucking so many Emmys, though.

That episode is fantastic.

And I don't even like you pretending to.

It's absolutely fantastic.

Are you kidding me?

It's cringy, though, like on purpose, you know?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, like he's messing things up.

He has to put, he puts on the shirt.

Yeah, and you're like, it's more doing that.

Let's get

the other Seth's voice note in here for that.

So I noticed, I believe at the time even, he pissed himself.

Like, that is how we originally recorded it for her to do, and then she did.

And it's literally just, don't stop believing.

Oh, yeah.

Well, now we're going to get sued.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Back it up.

I want you guys to explain when you say the lyrics are out.

Explain that.

Oh, out of sync.

Just like that, her mouth is moving and the lyrics are not perfectly.

Okay.

Now that you've explained it, Keeve, now there was a moment we were shooting a music video.

I can't remember.

Fucking Keeva comes in.

I'm editing.

He comes in.

He's like, dude, that's way off.

This one fucking clip is way off, way off.

He goes, we go back and forth, back and forth.

Now it's good.

I'm like, you know how many frames that was?

That was one.

One frame.

I do notice one frames off.

Yeah, I know you do.

I'm going to go ahead and join this and say I also notice.

Yeah, I know you do too.

For timing, sometimes, like cutting out of a joke or something, one frame is the difference.

Yeah.

The amount I was doing that on the last two on the Sushi Glory Hole and the Here I Go, because I wasn't necessarily editing every frame myself so sometimes we'd take a chunk from them and then i would just be like yeah but they're all out of sync like nudge that one nudge yeah diva's pretty good at it too once he focuses in on it but it drives me mad once he's been around you basically anybody who's been around you gets a lot better at it you know what's really impressive though when you go watch old movies musicals say sound of music mary poppins whatever i mean i don't want to name just julie andrews ones but you know what i mean they are put them on blast well you know what i do i do just want to name julie andrews I do.

All right.

Where was I?

My fair lady, Julia Andrews' voice and Audrey Hepburn's face,

they are perfect.

Oh, they're perfect.

I think we're going to say that they were not.

You know what I mean?

Like you watch Singing in the Rain and they're perfect.

And I'm always like, damn, they were editing this analog and they look like they're singing it.

And I'm like, we are cheating stuff with computers, doing nudges and stuff that would be really hard to do.

Yes.

I'm very impressed and confused how they were able to make them perfect.

Let me jump in, though, because they rehearsed a a thousand times and they're running all those in wonders.

A lot of that is that the performers were that on point.

Yes.

But we're talking about something that we put together in under 24 hours.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I mean, honestly, some of the other lines that she appears to be in sync are the reason it's a very short cuts is because she'd get one line on and then one line would be late and I would use the different part of it and move it up.

But like ultimately what you're saying, Keith, is you're a little disappointed in her.

Hot take.

Oh, that's interesting, Seth.

I thought what he was saying is that we're as good as singing in the ring.

Hot take.

Shirani is singing in the ring.

There we go.

So, hey,

nobody wants.

Damn it.

I was trying to get a different button.

There were four buttons.

Two of them are Debbie Day.

That was actually a good, that was a good preamble to what I'm going to say here because it's Logic Police, which I've never noticed until today in my rewatch.

Shit.

Shit.

Which is, had Shirani not choked in his moment, right?

Had he done it at full volume,

it was a wildly inappropriate song for those kids.

Oh, yeah.

You know what I mean?

But we don't know what he was saying the rest of the time.

It was just at the end.

No, you can hear the lyrics are always about the two of them.

And, like, it's very.

What is the rap?

It's like a rap song about the two of them.

Like, hers is all about, like, I don't know.

Like, it seems very, like, positive.

Yeah, knowledge.

And he's cursing.

And the world.

Yeah, he's cursing.

Well, it's, it's, yeah, I'm Shyrunny and I'm running this bitch.

It's basically like real bravado rap.

And I'm running this shit.

You know, I stay steady strapped because life is a bitch yeah he has a gun like why is he yeah it seems like he let her down in a lot of different ways and it's a mistake to think it's just that he pissed himself and and got the mic too close and wasn't loud enough

i do like at the end that he does the classic i don't need no beat yeah yeah and i don't need it's like straight out a mile yeah that's how confident he is that's the ultimate confident mc move i don't need no fuck a beat but he's worried he's worried she's going to come back a second time so he doesn't go full volume wait was that also because nas's made you look had just come out too in that era oh maybe.

Because I did like the end of that hard-ass song.

I mean, it's a classic thing that happens when the beat cuts out and they say they don't need it.

They keep going.

You know what?

We.

Not they.

We.

We.

Yeah.

MCs.

Oh, yeah.

Real life MCs.

Yeah.

The next time, I'll also say when Rihanna came back and we ended up doing the Ronnie and Clyde one, I felt such pride when she was like showing up to the office being like, boys, what are we doing?

And me like,

yeah, we earned it yeah like the opposite feeling when when on some of these episodes when we're like we had tom hanks and we did one that we felt shame over or whatever or steve martin and we did surf meetings and you kind of have this thing hanging over you of like man we got a shot you know somebody that's a hero or who we're just such massive fans of and we didn't deliver the opposite when it's true feels very good too to have that like under your belt and they come back and there's a shared history and you feel like you delivered for that person and it feels good.

Also, Steve Martin, I will throw it out again.

If we can ever figure out scheduling, does want to come on and talk about his memories of surf meeting.

I mean, we should just ask him for some time and then just make it happen.

Yeah, just make it happen.

Seems like nothing could possibly go wrong with that.

Yeah, absolutely.

Like, we'll embarrass him again.

That's the kind of joke that people who don't know about the 7,000 texts and phone calls to get this schedule done.

Hey, can I say something though?

Can I say something from those of us that are bedridden?

I'm available like a lot of the time.

I like how it's kind of turned you into the ladies fan.

Yeah, yeah, well, it's a ladies.

You guys want to get on the mic.

I got a text from Tim Meadows the other day that was a photo.

Um, he was sending photos on set for some whatever TV show he's doing.

Yeah, but what was great about it, I'll just hold it up, see if you guys can see it.

Timmy, so it's him, Leslie Jones, and that other actress that I forget her name, him, Leslie Jones, and another actress.

And then underneath it, it says, sent by Mr.

Spyster,

but enjoy.

Yep.

Just a great photo that was not meant for me.

By the way, I got the same photo.

So Tim Meadows.

Well, maybe he was trying to send it to you.

That would make sense that it was, maybe it was to you, though.

Oh, so maybe he confuses us.

Yeah, well, that would make sense.

I know it's one of those guys with a beard.

He says, hope your PT is going swimmingly.

It is, Tim.

Thank you so much.

This one had, again, a long tail.

You guys got to do another one.

It's very special.

Definitely, definitely Sweet 16 all-time.

Definitely criterion for me.

Look at that.

Andy, you did it on stage once, but it was not with her, right?

You just came out on stage as her.

I mean, obviously at our concerts.

No, it was, it was Santi.

Santi was doing a show in New York, and she was like, do you want to come do something at my show?

And I was like, well, this isn't something that we did together, but do you want to bring me out as Shirani?

And she was like, oh, my God, fuck you.

That's right.

Wait, I know we went to that show, but what was the bit?

What did you do?

I can't remember.

The bit was I met someone who wants to, because she has the, she, I think she still, and definitely at that time, had her two friends that were her, like, full-on just dancers for her whole show.

And they were so good and awesome.

And so I pitched in, she liked that I was auditioning to be her third backup dancer.

That's funny.

I can't remember exactly how it went, but it went, it went well.

It was super fun.

That was at that huge hall, right?

Like the one I'm in at, right?

City Hall.

Yeah, City Hall.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And at our concerts, it was always a treat to hear the audience go wild when Shiron had come out because he's the opposite of somebody that you should go wild for.

Just the other guy, but it was same for I came out with you guys as just two guys because we're all in that same spirit, basically, the same crew.

At the end of our Just Two Guys set, where we did a medley, we would always go into hits of the day, me and Jorm.

So it'd be like, we've talked about this before, but it would be like the how much money you got, a lot, how many bitches you got, a lot, which is a 21 Savage song, or various other ones.

But then, how did we transition?

It was because we transitioned to the Drake.

God's plan.

God's plan.

And then Shirani would come out and do God's Plan.

God's plan.

God's plan.

But what was our transition?

Do you remember?

Because I know me and Njorm would have to go, oh, now for a special treat, ladies and gentlemen, Shairani.

And I'd just come out in pain on my face.

I'm like wincing at the light.

Yeah, and then

we were cooler than you.

Yeah, exactly.

Really mad.

Oh, yeah.

We played Rihanna.

We were the ones being like, you're messing it up, dude.

Say the words.

Say the words.

Oh, my God.

He doesn't even know them.

And then we would kick you off stage.

And then when we would leave.

And then there would be a hard rap when you guys.

Yeah, it was a 6'9 beat that came in.

Before he snitched.

Oh, my God.

Before he snitched, though.

Before he snitched, before he was snitching.

Jake Tappard made this and was mad that I hadn't shown you guys.

I kind of forgot to, but that's his.

Oh, my God.

He drew that?

Oh, my God.

Yeah, he drew that.

He's great.

Oh, he's a good artist.

Yeah, he's a.

It was state of the cartoonian.

Do you remember we used to do that on the show?

Only me?

I'm the only one that watches the Sunday News show.

No, we remember.

Wink.

Wait, who's?

Obviously, it's the three of us.

I'm the lady, and it's your faces.

Why are you a lady?

Well, I'm the woman with the three breasts in total recall.

Got it.

So you have her hair.

Yeah, I think that that might be t-shirt material.

Wait, why do I look like Mark Cuban?

Oh, yeah.

Why are you so furiously Mark?

Yorm looks a little chubbier than I think Yorm.

And so does Keeve.

But it's clearly at least Yorm.

Yeah.

I identify Keeve and Yorm as themselves.

And then also Mark Cuban is with them.

Shark Tank.

That's you.

That's got to go.

That's got to pop up.

We got to show that to people because that's fucking, that's awful.

So Tapper, I think, now is probably regretting that I've followed through and showed it to you guys, but that's.

I mean, Tapper, thanks, but no thanks on the Mark Cuban.

Yeah, you got Cuban.

I disagree.

I'm very impressed with your side hustle.

it could be worse mark cubin's a handsome rich man congratulations never thought when i woke up this morning i was gonna get cubed

that is what that is hey this is great we're gonna put a pin in a couple other things yeah because we're long we're long and we're not gonna look we're not in this to if we got content we need to chop it up yeah keep it small yeah chunkable but i do want to talk about and i got a voice note from o'brien that will play the next episode i'm sorry mike because i did text him midway through this one and he had to scramble because Underground Music Festival, which is one of my favorite sketches, had its first airing.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's good.

Yorm, of course, you were the VO.

I said, why did you pick Yorm?

So we'll find that out the next episode.

I did.

Potato chip finally airs.

Oh, fuck.

This was a good app.

This is a crazy good app.

And Ladies Bowling.

Ladies Bowling.

That's a second of the ESP.

And guys, a cold open Cess Corner that I'm perfectly happy to talk about.

And so those are all things we're going to do.

Do we do a cleanup episode then?

This is great.

Yeah, we're going to do a cleanup episode.

We're gonna talk about some stuff.

Well, maybe we'll have a dud next.

I'm gonna guess next episode is a dud just based on having two good ones in a row.

Well, I'm saving, I'm backlogging some really fun sketches that we had very little to do with because we do like talking about our colleagues and how brilliant they are.

We don't have a Shironi or a two worlds collab.

Yeah, tune in next week.

It's gonna be a dud, you guys.

Yeah, we're doing a dud, Kevin.

Which one's next?

What's the dud?

Yeah, what's Kevin?

What is the dud?

What's the guaranteed dud?

Name that dud.

I was doing that a lot when I was getting x-rays in the hallway at Rusk, and people didn't appreciate it.

I was doing like Wind Down Selector, and then I was like playing reggae hell of loud in the hallway because

my dude who was pushing me around was like, I'm from Jamaica.

And I was like, oh, shit.

Have you heard this?

Here we go.

No woman, no cry.

No woman, no cry.

Have you heard?

Oh my God, I love reggae.

Have you heard Legend?

Wind down selector.

Wind down selector.

Tizzle Whizzle's a goodie.

Tizzle Whizzle's good.

So we were on a bit of a run here, Seth.

All right, Tizzle Whistle show.

I have no memory of Tizzle Whistle.

It's very solid.

It's very solid.

I love that one.

I thought you were a friend, man.

Didn't make the 64.

Okay, how about this?

Yes.

I bet I'm going to like Tizzle Whizzle less than you guys think I'm going to like Tizzwill.

Oh, for sure.

I know you will.

I know you will.

And I'm not saying I'm in the right or anything.

I'm just saying, like, ones I don't remember are often.

Yeah, it didn't make your top 64, clearly.

Well, we're going to find out next week.

And Seth, I swear to God, I mean this when I tell you I'm living for it.

I mean, I would love to say bum me out, but I liked it all three times.

I like it because it's not making fun of current slang, yeah, it's old, just old enough that I'm ready for it again.

It's like a classic tweener, nobody's calling it back.

It's not retro yet, and it's not fresh, it's just like in the dead middle.

Seth, yeah, how long have you known me?

Would I ever bullshit you?

No, you would never bullshit.

Okay, so here's the truth: I'm obsessed.

Oh, I like it a lot.

All right, so nice to talk to you guys.

Also, can I tell you guys something?

When I came home to visit my parents, I met them at a restaurant.

I had a big old Guinness, and I've been a little bit drunk this whole time.

You had just from one pint of Guinness, just kind of did you up?

I don't know.

I think it's because I woke up really early to get our travel day started, and I just hadn't eaten enough, and I'm pretty lightheaded.

And fuck, I've just loved this last fucking 90 minutes so much.

Oh, that's what I didn't tell you guys this, but I'm on 10 different painkillers right now.

No, you told us.

Oh, I did?

Yeah.

Oh, that's crazy to me.

Oh, anyway, tune in next week when we have a dud of an episode.

Dud.

Dud.

That's the dud sound?

That was the Prometheus sound you guys.

All right, I'm calling it.

Love you guys.

Love you guys.

Love you too.

Love you.

Later, Arnold.

Later, Quaits.
