Hi, Seth. Hi.
Thanks for the shout out on your show. Oh, yeah.
There was a good shout-out to Yorm, guys.

There was a punchline and a monologue joke that said somebody set the record for most shattered pelvis that just literally just said as an aside to shoe, like, oh, Yorma didn't have it for very long.

It was definitely like no reaction from the audience, but it really died. Yeah, they're like, it would just be for the quake.
No, and there's like maybe one person who was like, oh, yeah, that guy.

Not surprisingly, it was Stephen Heller who sent it to me. Of course, Stephen Heller.

Hey, you know what? I'm going to switch things up.

Jack Black, sing us in.

There goes our metrics. Let's go, Andy.
Yeah, I got that shit clean. Wow.

You cleaned it up? Yeah. Good job.
And Seth, how did you do? Thank you for asking. No, Seth Eraser from Keeve.
You're a decent friend. I bailed three short, and I'm totally fine with it.

Because here's the thing. I was really proud of getting grandpa.
And then I kind of moved off that. And there was like grand pop and grand papa.
I'm just like, dudes.

I get so mad when it's that sort of thing. I don't get mad.
I get even. Yeah.
Who decided grand papa is a real word? I know. I don't care for it.

I bet a lot of older people wrote in to get that one approved. A bunch of grandpops did? Yeah.
They were like, Seth, you know exactly who approved it. Azerski.
My nemesi.

You guys, guess what I got today?

Solid. That's so good to try.
That's so fucking lit, you are.

Thanks, Annie.

I mean, I don't have my own theme song.

Can we see if Azerski will change solid to lit?

Do you think we could get him to do that? Maybe like a special holiday episode. I feel like even he would be like, I don't think people say that anymore.
Grandpapas do.

That's why Travis Scott used to do his hypes like that, right? He'd be like, it's solid. It's solid.
Yeah, that was exactly it. Solid.
Solid.

I'm locked out. I pay for the New York Times, but just for news, and I can't even do these things.
Wait, what do you mean you're locked out? What does that mean?

Well, I don't pay for the gaming one, and I'm behind the paywall. They figured out they couldn't.
Megagun did fine. Charged a premium for the games.
But I don't want to play these games.

They're literally, that's like a bunch of you guys are like saying you're addicted and it's ruining your lives. Why would I pay to follow the game? No, just go to Solid and then be done.

Don't be an addict. Are you saying I'm not yet living a full life because my day was ruined by the fact that I couldn't come up with two different ways to say grandpa?

I think it's

living a pretty full life. I wasn't saying it wasn't a full life.
I was just saying it's doing damage.

Here's the thing, Keith. It's clearly become a tax write-off for this fucking show.

Oh, yeah, that's true. I can get my $5 back or whatever it is.
I want to do a joke about, because my dad, when I go home, my dad plays so many word games.

I brought my daughter home to visit my parents, and it was like a full morning of him doing word games. And he said that there's studies that say it makes you live longer.

And I was like, yeah, but is this? a life? Right. At what cost? Yeah.
Why make this go on longer if that's what this is? Yeah. What are the other word games he plays?

I mean, he does Wordle, he does B, he does crossword. Then he does number games too.
He likes Sudoku. Yeah.

And then he's like, there's a new Sudoku. Like, he's always very excited about the new stuff.
I do them. I got connections.
I got Letterboxed in 2 today. It was a good day in the word gamosphere.

That's really nice. That's impressive.
Letterboxing 2 is that's impressive. Even I know what that means.
Oh. That one makes me sick to my stomach.
I love it.

Thinking of somebody looking at all those letters and trying to figure out how to to crisscross it to get it in two words. No, that's my fave.
That's fucking sick. What are your words?

Oh, look at you. Wow.
I don't even want to say brightener and roundmen. Round men.
Come on. What?

You cheat? Oh, the band. The band.
Yeah, Seth. I knew round men was a word before I tried it.

There was my favorite line because it's such a, I remember a show I love, Game of Thrones. Remember they would get touched and they would like, they would get grayscale.

And at one point point, they were in a boat, and they see like just a dude who kind of looks like a rock on a cliff, and he goes, Stone men.

I was like, oh, I feel like we could have worked a little bit harder on that one. Yeah, like some special name.
Do you want to call him Round Men? Round Men. Round Men.

All right, so here were the two hits where they're communicating with us. New York Times games.
Obviously, Andy was in the mini. Oh, yeah.
Thrill. And that was specifically you.

Yeah, it was specifically.

Yeah, it wasn't a different Andy. And then right after we talked about it in the spelling be

Bedhead, right after we talked about Bedhead Jones. Oh.
Bedhead was

detailed.

Somebody then said, the Azurski for the New York Times Mini, somebody said I was at a book signing event with him and I went up and I said, hey, is there any truth to the fact that you guys are trying to communicate with the Lonely Island South Myers podcast?

Yeah. And he said, no.
He said, no? He shut it down. What a.

That's what somebody would say.

say who is doing exactly what it's exactly right that's right that's exactly what they would say we're on to you guys the normal normal answer by the way is what what are you talking about what is that like what do you mean communicate oh you think that we're sending like what oh because we had that clue to just go no like what and they're at a book signing they didn't have time to get in depth yeah that's true they probably just didn't explain it to him well here's the thing at any book signing just ask more questions about this i think that i'll help him oh hey was this a joke that you feel like you didn't get credit for in the last podcast we were talking about boom box andy yeah uh somebody said talking about um julian did we have a fan on his hair

and you said hopefully we had a professional hairstylist yeah that's right oh i missed that everybody on the pod missed it and then like a few members of uh qa were like hey just andy fyi i know your co-host missed it thought that was super funny appreciate that yeah appreciate y'all when i listen back to our podcast sometimes i hear you guys say things i know i didn't hear all the time and part of that is zoom because zoom mutes people and chooses who you can hear but we are all recording on our own mics So once it gets professionally processed, they can hear every little thing.

Yes, yes, that's true. But I also think that there's something about the human ego that you're just thinking about what you're going to say.
You know what I mean?

Maybe I'm speaking for myself. This guy's exposing himself.

A rising star of the three albans.

That's what I'm focused on. I'm focused on trying to fucking win.
I don't care what you're trying to get your character up the ranks. Yes, you want to win.
Nobody gets it.

Keeve and Andy, are you you guys going to listen to the very special episode that's just me and Yorm? Yeah, for sure.

No, no, no, no.

Is it on video? It is on video. It is on video.
So you're trying to top us by doing the first video podcast for this podcast without us? Yeah. Well, we were showing

things that people the merchandise that people

some of the things. I mean, should I just go watch Steel Magnolias again instead? Yes.
Because you're going to cry. I love Steel Magnolias.
You want to talk about that?

Should we do a Steel Magnolias rewatch podcast? I'm just saying. If we're going Drippy Saccharin, why not go to the...

I tried to go drippy Zacharian twice on the pod, and I got played off once by Seth. Yeah.
Well, you were.

I think Tom Scarrett would take umbrage at that comment, Andy, because

he's not very drippy in that movie at all.

And if anything, he's playful and callous. Yeah.
He's like shooting at a tree all the time. You don't know your steel magnolias, so I would just keep it out of your mouth.
Guys, can I have the floor?

Yeah, sure. Akiva, I just want to say,

I'm not too proud

to be able to admit it when I'm wrong. Now I have to Google it and make sure I'm thinking of the right movie.

And in this case, if when you Google it, you find that you are thinking of the right movie, I am just going to let you know, I apologize wholeheartedly. I am sorry.
And I was wrong. But if you're

a charmer. Oh, I was going to say, if you're wrong though, you're fucking dead me, Keith.
Oh, it's a really good movie. Let's rewatch it.

Obviously, it's a really good movie. Obviously.
I'm going to ask you a true or false question. Julia Roberts, is she in Steel Magnolias? True or false? Yes.
Yes.

Wow. You guys really did know your stuff.
Dolly Pardon? Yeah. Yes.

I always get it. I initially think of terms of endearment when people say steel magnolias.
Terms of endearment, of course,

the James L. Brooks.
Tear jerker. Yeah.
I love that one. Catches you off guard and fucking flattens you.
It flattens me. I think I told you guys.
I cried 15 times watching League of Their Own. Really?

No, that's not right. You know why, Seth? What? You don't know why you shouldn't cry watching A League of Their Own? Oh, now I remember.
I have a guess.

I didn't even want to say it because it's so gross. Go ahead.
Son of a bitch. Because there's no crying in baseball, you bitch.
You fucking loser. That's the only thing you're not supposed to say.

I will say. I'm going to make a list of all the movies.
You cried 15 times. It's the one rule, Seth.

I cried so many times. The only sad moment of that movie is the end when they're all old and they get together and they walk through the museum and it goes for like 10 minutes.

By the way, it didn't even make me cry. There were so many moments who made me cry earlier.
What, when John Lovitz was being sexist?

There's a moment where a girl thinks, a girl is standing at a chalkboard and she thinks she's been cut because they're like, these are the people.

And then they're like, hey, if you didn't make it, you didn't make it. And then another girl runs up and goes, can you not read, honey? What's your name? And you're just like, oh, God.

Oh, that is good. I forgot about that.
She's a farm girl. She never learned how to read.
And she makes the team. That's one.
There's like seven more. Yeah.
There's so many good ones.

Yeah, but what about when John John Lovitz is hitting on him, though? That's Lovitz is so funny. Keeve, when you said, why can't you cry watching a league of their own?

I thought you meant because it's a league of their own. You know what I mean? Put out, Keeve.
Oh, but

leave it to them to cry. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
This is for them. No, it was because of there's no crying in baseball.
It's the most famous line from the movie. Yeah, I got it.

It's also not a sad, it's not a movie you cry at. That's weird.
Terms of endearment. Seth, this is your M.O.
By the way. I remind you.
Buddy, I'm going to tell Keeve, two daughters.

You have two daughters. It's a fucking movie about sisters.
I guarantee you you cannot watch it without crying. Anyway, the floor is yours, Andy.

The joke wasn't good enough.

Joan, what are the two sisters' names in The League of Their Own?

Pamela and Erica. Bam.
Nailed it.

I actually can't think of both. It's Kit and Kid.
Kid.

Fuck.

And who is the actress that's not Gina Davis, the younger sister? That one I actually care about. Tank girl.
Lori Petty. Oh, yeah.
Fuck. Lori Petty's badass in that movie.

I think that Tom Hanks should have won an Oscar for League of Their Own. Here's my quick question.
We have not planned on this.

Name somebody in a comedy that you think got overlooked for an Oscar because people do not value comedies. Will Farrell.
In what movie?

Land of Lost.

Oh, man.

That's good. Shit.
I wasn't up for anything either, except for that Razzie. Yeah, there's plenty.
Yeah. Groundhog Day should have won most things the year it came out.
Yeah.

I think that's a great performance.

There's not that many movies that hold together on so many levels and create a genre. There are very few movies that once they come out, there's a new genre of movie.
Yeah. That's a huge deal.

I know this is a cheat because he's not a comedian, but I thought Ray Fein's in Grand Hotel. Grand Budapest.
He's a great person. Oh, he's still so good.
He's so funny and also still a great actor.

But it's also the precision that...

Sorry. I can't do it.
I can't do it. I started thinking about Alan Partridge.
You know, people get blown away when I say this, but the camera angles. Oh, boy.
Very good.

By the way, you guys know it's a soft short when we've gone this deep into the pod and we're mostly talking about movies from the 80s and 90s. We don't even know what we're going to talk about, Sam.

It's a shaggy top. It's a shaggy top.
I would love for all of us to have to watch either. We'll watch Steel Magnolias, not Terms of Endearment.
Yes, let's please do a rewatch of that.

We could do a Steel Magnolias re-watch. I did watch when James L.
Brooks was traveling around with a bunch of prints like two years ago. Why was that happening?

But there was a bunch of prints of his films, and I did watch a print of Terms of Endearment. That's why it's so fresh.
Did he go around with like a giant suitcase with a

handcuffed to the suitcase? Yeah, it was similar to Mike and Ike's animation festival. I don't know if he was being Spike or Spike or Mike.

And he was driving around with his prints of all these wacky kind of

shorts. And people would get near him and he would go, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, back off.

He was going to different camps.

And he's like, I know I've got a broadcast. He'd go through his big old briefcase and he'd be like, well, how about a broadcast news? I know I've got one in here somewhere.
somewhere.

As he would take things out, it would make a clonking and clanging noises. Yeah, exactly.
It's in here somewhere.

A couple more listener notes before we get into this very special episode about the name of the short. I already forget.
It's not online either. I just tried to find it.

No, it's on, like, what's the old one? Like,

Daily Motion. It's a Daily Motion.

Oh, so I was complaining about how you guys cut me out of Popstar, and somebody said, we all know it wasn't their choice. It was Bayes's call.

Somebody said, if somebody with a Scottish accent ever says Kwaid Army to us,

we should reply, righteous merc

based on our comments. Righteous Merck.

That's very good. It's very good Scottish.

And then this one, you know, I got to say, it hit closed home. How does it feel that Akiva's daughter was the funniest person in this episode?

Really nuts. Feels good.
I mean, those are really.

She was being pretty hammy. So that's what she was.
She's pretty hammy, but it's pretty great. The fact that at one point she said, correct me if I'm wrong in an ad really made me laugh.

And she was reading ahead in the copy and surprised me with that, like fully understood the task at hand. Because I just make them cold read.
I don't even tell them what we're advertising. Yeah.

And she knew, was smart enough to know to read a paragraph ahead, prepare that in her head.

And when I stopped talking, they go, correct me if I'm wrong, but the sale in his mind just jump in as if like a QVC sales. It was really good.
I got to listen to our show.

You could hear in your voice, Keith, there was a little bit of surprise and delight. Yeah, yeah.

I might rub them in after this for this week.

Hey, so there's our friend Ryan, hosted the show. And there's two things I really want to dig in about this one.
First, I think we should just watch the short. It is a totally fine short.

Obviously, not memorable to any of us, I think, right? We were all talking about last week. We don't really remember it, but there's fun moves.
Have you re-watched it today, Andy?

We all remember the house. Yeah.
We all remembered the location. Why do I think there was a Magruber in this episode, but I'm looking at the rundown, there isn't.
Wow. Yeah, I don't know.

And I agreed with you. I was like, there had to be one.
Did he do the Pepsi ad, and we're picturing the Pepsi ad? No, but Ryan. Ryan hosted for Magruber, though.
Yeah. Totally.

Right, but there is not a Magruber sketch. That's crazy.
It was about to come out. Seems very strange.
What were we doing? Maybe you guys were just like so just tattered. Like, it's a movie now.

Maybe, maybe we gave it up. Yeah.
Maybe we could have just been like, it's not going to work. No.
Respect. So we're going to watch the short.
We're going to enjoy it.

And then it's only two weeks later, two shows after Mondo Butts failed with Jude Law. And we're just going to re-watch the second effort.
Oh, right. Mama Mondo.

Now, I should know, it was nice that you guys waited at least one week before resubmitting it, but the host in between was Tina Faye. And I think that was a good instinct.

Yeah, although retrospect, she would have been really funny at it.

Yeah. I mean, ultimately, we're like, you made a good call, and it ate shit twice.
So maybe not. Yeah, I'm dreading/slash giddy.
Did you pre-watch this time, Seth? I only pre-watched the short.

I kind of wanted to re-watch Mondo Butts with you. I'd like to point out it went to dress again, which means the show believed in it, that it could happen.

Yeah, I feel like this is maybe the era where Lauren is now a little high on Andy's supply. Oh, my God.
I just think, no, he believes in you. There was never a time when that was the case for live.

It was never that for the live show. Pre-take.

Until Andy left, and then he was like, he was finally there. Yeah.
I missed Mondo button. He just needed 100 and he needed 180 episodes of Brooklyn 9-9.
And then, oh, now he's loose as a goose.

I mean, that's not untrue. Seven years? Did you do seven years? Seven seasons of SNL and eight seasons of Brooklyn.
Seven years of SNL.

And then when you left, Lauren was like, he was finally figuring it out. He left too soon.

We've skipped one of the headlines. We did skip a headline.
A member of this forsom went, well, I didn't physically go, but was involved in last week's SNL. This is

Storm's sushi glory whole moment. Oh, okay.

And

this was Total Request Live courtesy of Glenn Powell, correct? No, yeah. No, Glenn requested it.
It was a totally different idea. And then, of course, thanks to Mr.

Will Forte, who always has his finger right on the pulse of what he thinks Magruber should be involved in. It was that Magruber was in the Epstein files.

So it's always good to get your, that character. How did the Glenn thing, like he was talking to Lorne?

He was actually talking to Pete Hike because they're pals.

And Pete and him were, like, this is how it got to me was that, was that, and then it was mentioned to Forte that there was an idea for, wouldn't it be fun to do Macgruber?

And then it was a very last minute thing because also Forte is working on Tina's show. And so he's out on the East Coast, but it was like all very last minute.

So we were like writing, you guys know what writing with Forte is like, but it was like in the cracks of his schedule of that TV show.

So we actually, when we were writing, it would be like at lunch for the show he's doing with Tina and Tina. The four seasons, I believe.
Yes. Yes, the four seasons scene-a-face show.

And Tina read the parts. We basically did a table read with Tina.
Nice. That's fun.

But that's how like last minute it was. It was.
That's great. He actually pitched some good jokes on it.
Should have got her to read Mondo Butts while you were at it. Oh, fuck.

Well, you can still resubmit.

But no, it was fun. It was a fun one to talk about.
I also, I want to say Lauren.

Andy might not believe it. Lauren was a huge fan of Andy's, which of course he was.
Lauren loves Magruber very much. Yeah.
Yes. I'm surprised to say this is no exaggeration.

With that said, I saw Lauren, I had dinner with Lauren maybe the Monday of the Glenn Powell week, and he was like...

And Glenn loves Magruber, and so he wants to do a Magruber. And I was like, that sounds rad.
And I like that, like low-key, Lauren also thought it was rad, but he just has to.

I mean, there's no, I don't know what I'm expecting. Lauren's like, you're not going to fucking believe this.
Well, we're doing a McGruber.

Well, I also texted with Lauren afterwards because I was like, parlay this into another, like a sequel?

Like, Universal loves losing money, right? And he was like, God, what was his response? It was like,

kill yourself.

This is no. I mean, it would be a good time for McGrubber to come out now because, like, no movies make money.
Yeah, exactly. That's exactly right.
Yeah. Yeah.

I said, can we parlay McGruber being in the news to doing a musical for uni? Yeah. And he said, maybe.

And I said, Universal hates making money, right? And he said, totally opposed.

Support for the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb. You know, I'm about to take a trip with my parents and my boys.
We're going to go to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

We're very excited because it's really nice to be in somebody's home where their personal touches are part of the weekend you're going to stay there.

And then me and the boys got thinking, we got plenty personal touches in our house as well.

If people, for example, loved the animated show The Octonauts, I'd highly recommend you spend a weekend in our apartment.

Because, hey, if we're going to make memories while traveling, why not let someone make their own memories in our home? Think about it.

If you host your home on Airbnb while you're traveling, it's a great way to offset some of the costs of your own trip. Andy would like you to stay with him, but not via Airbnb.

He just loves Quaid Army so much. Just a little rat-a-tat-tat on the door.
And

you're more than welcome to stay. That's not binding, what I just said.
The extra income you make can be put towards an upcoming trip, a splurge of benign home improvement projects, etc.

And if you've got a lot of trips ahead of you, host it is a pretty cool and unique way to make some money back. Your home might be worth more than you think.

Support comes from Fiori. Now that it's fall, I am wearing the Beach Fleece Crew.
How does it look on me, honey? Oh, so cozy. It is the ideal fleece to wear as the weather starts to get chilly.

It's even made from 71% recycled fabrics. And now you think it's chilly in LA at 72 degrees.
Brrrr. Yes.
And that's why I needed my beach fleece crew. All right.
Let me tell you something else, Liz.

Are you listening? Sunday performance joggers are awesome. I just want to scream it from the rooftops.
The people or the pants?

I guess. Yeah, I guess I do love Sunday performance joggers.
That's what we call those people that jog by our house so fast.

Performance art, but they're also also jogging and they're Sunday performance joggers. But you're talking about the pants.
Oh, you're saying it was a negative. Like, oh, those.

Oh, God. No, very.
I'm driving in my car and I'm like, you guys are performance joggers. These aren't real joggers.
They're not doing it for exercise.

They're showing off. They just want to jog because it's their viori and they want to jog all over town to show off their performance joggers.
It's performative jogging. Performative jogging.
Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, they make me sick.
But their clothes are awesome. They wick moisture and the fabric is so comfortable.
They have five functional pockets, pockets, three with zippers to keep things safe.

Now, we've talked about that you really have been buying stuff there. How's it been holding up? You've been liking your Viore? It's great.
I play tennis in my Viore and I really like it.

Yeah, Seth has commented that the people should really trust you about this. Yes.
Oh, wait. And then I was playing the other day and my partner went, is that Viore for real? And I said, it is.

She goes, I love Viore. It feels so good, doesn't it? Oh, those look good.
Which ones are those? So really making some waves on the tennis court. Wow.
That was a genuine testimonial.

I'm just going to say one other thing. And I don't want you to argue with me about this, Liz.
The Tech Polo is the softest polo I've ever worn.

The Tech Polo fits incredibly well, and it's odor-resistant and moisture-wicking. You can either dress it up or down.

Okay, so this one, Keeve, this is again a Kreitzel, I'm going to say. No, no, we did this.
You're back in the business. This guy made boombox last week.
We're back. I remember making this.

One of these guys started getting at it, but the one thing we really remember is it was the first time any of us had seen a nice, a really nice house in Manhattan. Brownstone, yeah.

It was the location. It was like unbelievably huge.
Like you just didn't see apartments that big, which is not even an apartment, it's a full house.

I don't remember what the premises of this is, but I remember it required doors in specific places. And I remember asking for it, thinking, well, we'll never get that in Manhattan.

And they were like, took us to this brownstone that was like a double wide, just a real house you could really live in in the middle of the city. And I just was blown away.

You have to explain, though, like to anybody who lives outside of New York, when they come over to your place, you have to explain that it's good. You're like, no, no, this is good.

Like, because the real estate's so expensive here. Yes.

Here's my 30-second story with Guinness. As soon as my sister and I get home for the holidays, we don't even unpack.
We head straight to our pub.

The bartender already knows our order, Guinness and Fries. We laugh all night, catch up with old friends, and walk home with faces sore from smiling.
It's one of my favorite nights of the year.

That was my 30-second story with Guinness. Guinness Draft Stout.

Yes, it would look good by any standard. Yeah.

I don't remember where the premise came from. I think I wrote it with Mulaney.
Is that right? And I'm assuming you, Keeve, if you directed it.

I mean, I think, I mean, I was definitely involved and it probably yarned the whole time. I mean, I know

we definitely should. Do you remember this being a Mulaney? I feel like I remember writing it with him because he was there when we were shooting and he kept something from it.

I don't remember Mulaney being there. He kept a prop? We should have got a voice note from Mulaney.
But I will say it's weird. We're really in the soup at this point.

It's crazy to think that there's a whole short where I genuinely can't remember

much. Are these the right names? Because it has our names on this, but these ones are often wrong.
Yeah, okay. Are you going to walk us through it, bud? Yep, pulling it up.

All right, so I don't even remember what the comedic conceit of this is. That's why I can't even talk about it.

You know what I think about occasionally before we watch these things, guys? Is that Andy and I used to work at Spin City, the show Spin City.

And this is back in the day. And there was a guy who was doing warm-up for the live show.
And he would always, as

they were about to start, and right before the action, the guy would say, he'd get his voice real low, and he would say, all right, let those laughs go, guys.

Let those laughs go. And I was like, it was the most hateful

I've ever heard. Don't hold them in your mouth.
Let those laughs go, guys. Yes.
Me and Jurim still say that all the time.

And every time we're about to watch one of these, that's what I think.

Don't be stingy. Let those laughs.

You can't take them with you. The mic.
You see, everybody look up. You see those mics above you? They're going to be picking up your laughter.

Oh, there's going to be your laugh on there being broadcast to the world. We're not saying laugh if you don't find it funny, but we also are saying exactly that.
Yes. We're okay with that.

The Vespa is always the writers on the side going, ha ha.

My joke seems to work. Well, during rehearsals, especially.
Yes. Yeah.
Trying to like fill that space.

Brutal. Oh boy.

I think we should keep that joke in the show. Well, it's because they didn't want the actors to lose faith in the material.
Right, right, right. Makes sense.

Even though that's how we would all lose faith if we heard writers laugh like that. Yeah.

They also put on nice little sport coat and ties on show night. Here we go.
Let those laughs go, guys.

Brian Techcast.

Very shaky camera, Keith.

Kyle, what are you doing with me? Megan, stop.

Before you say anything, I just want to apologize. I am the biggest fool in this city.
It was you all along.

It's always been you, Megan.

Kyle,

you really should have called. This isn't the best time.

Is there someone here? Babe, who is it? It's nobody. Oh, hey, bro.
How's it going, man? You must be Kyle, right?

This was a mistake. I shouldn't have come.

I like this trope.

Very familiar trope. I loved it.
There's a kind of shittiness that Andy gives that. Yeah.
Hard to beat. Hard to beat.

Just even from off-camera.

You're just like, fuck this guy. Yeah, it's a very nice sound design for the first.

You're like definitely far enough away that you wouldn't have heard the door. And he thinks the guy seems nice.
He wants to go out of his way to say that. Yeah.

So this short is called The Other Man for people that need to Google it. It is on Daily Motion.

It is such a good trope that if this short had been better, we maybe could have put this trope, you know, put a little nail in the coffin on this trope. But the short isn't that famous.

So the trope lives on. I feel I've seen it.
I feel like I've seen it this year. But as we establish from guys walking away from explosions, sometimes the tropes are just going to live, you know.

Yeah, I don't know if you killed this one. It's too handy.
It's too handy a trope.

I saw an article that there's an explosion in House of Guinness that was inspired by our video about not looking at explosions yeah okay that that really tells you something keeve like the you you are causing more tropes people like hey what if we did that trope

they but they do look back they tried to put their own spin on it to make sure they didn't hit the trope dead on because of our video and i read an article about it oh because they didn't want them to get troped out they knew the video was there and they're like we can't do this because that's embarrassing so what do guys do do they look back and then like high-five each other like yes no, I think they still need to be badasses, but they look back and see it and then keep walking or something.

I didn't see it. I didn't see the actual show.
I mean, this is kind of what we did on

Google. The weird thing is, because it's like a period.

You know, that show is like a period piece. Yeah.
And when they look back, there's a freeze frame and then it goes, Trope Buster. Oh, gotcha.
Yeah. Yeah.
It doesn't make any, it ruins the show.

Some people said.

But they were adamant. They're like, look, you guys look at the short.
Trope Buster. We're not going to get caught with our pissed.
They looked looked back trope busted

they're like this technically takes place in the 1800s before anybody else were technically the first ones to do the trope i like that you just started googling things i want to find him saying wait look there's it's up there though do you see it oh yeah that's what i mean andy samburg and lonely on inspired an epic scene in netflix's house of guinness you know i've actually had a guinness to drink in your life yeah so have i i've i've gone to the guinness factory how many of you guys have gone to the guinness factory i'm sure seth's been to the guines factory i have been to the guinness Factory.

But hold on, this looks like, I mean, keep reading this article because I don't, does anybody who works on the Guinness Show say this has anything to do with it? The one I read was talking about that.

In an interview with Netflix UK, we were shooting the scene.

Can somebody do this in a British accent? We were shooting the scene, and my business partner sent me a song from Andy Sandberg, which is cool, guys don't look at explosions.

It's basically a cut of old men and women in history and film with explosions behind them, and none of them looked back. We decided then and there, we're like, Rafferty is cooler than all of them.

He does look back.

Jokebuster. Joke Buster.

They did have two versions of the scene where they didn't look back. And the last couple, he looks back, but doesn't react.

I feel like the guys who made the Guinness show would have been Irish, though. Read it again, Seth.
Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck.
Yeah, God. We are shooting the scene, right? And

my business partner is saying me sorry,

Top of the Morning. We all remember Top of the Morning.
Big

popular sketch back in the day. I remember it.
All right, here we we are. So they're in a rom-com.
All right, one first beat.

It looks like it's shot on real lenses, like we did a little better job, but we had no light. This is a DP.
This is yeah, but here's what we didn't have: light.

Because in a rom-com on the shot of Ryan on the street, you would light New York City, and so you'd have beautiful brownstones on the other side of the street instead. He's in like a middle.

Not having light, though, it looks kind of nice. All right, let's just see Andy coming in again.

It's nobody, no pants.

Bathrobe,

bowl of cereal.

This was a mistake. I shouldn't have come.

You seem nice. This is so wish it was rain guy.
It might be the same wig.

You're also,

are you exactly Lady Gaga later in three-way coming in to find you and Timberlake in the bed? She has a bowl of cereal. Is she in a bathrobe? Oh.
She's like, oh, you guys are still.

I don't think that that's connected. You don't.
I do have this weird memory.

Correct me if I'm wrong, of Stephanie, Gaga, coming in and saying, could I be dressed like the other guy in the other guy's sketch for this moment?

And she had named him too, right? And then she got it. And then Andy was super mad.
He's like, uh, Ryan's the other guy.

Right. You didn't get it.

And she was like, no, no, look, no offense meant.

I'm a huge fan of the website Daily Motion.

I have an account.

Got two drops for Daily Motion so far, guys. Three.

All right, keep going.

He drops his bouquet of flowers, goes away. Oh, another beautiful shot.
Overhead shot. Cinematic kid.
He's at another apartment. Hey, Kyle.
What are you doing here? I followed your advice.

I told her everything. It was a disaster.
Look, Brian, can I come in? Yeah, now's not a really good time. Hey, babe, we're out of Munchie Flakes.
Oh, hey, bro. Good to see you again.

You should have called. Yeah, you should have called, bro.

Unbelievable. Come here to you.

There's a real consistency to your performance throughout this, Andy, that I enjoyed a great great deal. Yeah.
We're all out of munchie flakes. You're all out of munchie flakes.

But also, Bobby Moynihan, the perfect best friend to the Ryan Phillippy lead of the rom-com, who gave him the advice to go after it and

spill his heart. I mean, I don't know if that's a compliment, but he played it well.
I think he's played it in real life in various movies. Yeah.
Okay.

Well, there's no shame in being the best bro in a rom-com. I've never been asked to do it.

But also, how great that this house had a blue door inside it and a hallway that's big enough to look like we're in another apartment building when we're just.

I'll give it Oscar best supporting actor in a comedy while we're talking about the best friend trope. What's the Ben Stiller movie where Philip Seymour Hoffman's so fucking funny as his best friend?

Along Came Polly. Yeah.
There you go. Oh, yeah.
You wanted him to get an Oscar for that? I do. Oh, okay.
Gotcha. Well, way in in the comics.
His to this, guys. Yeah.

I think if we're going to give a post,

what's it called? Posthumist Oscar.

A posthumous Oscar to Philip Seymour Hoffman. It would be that movie.
That's the one. Okay.

Mom?

Dad? Okay.

They're ahead of it. Hey, honey, what's wrong? Mom, I am having the worst day.
First, Megan broke up. Babe, who is that? Oh my god.
Not you too, Mom. Kyle, what are you doing here?

Dad, for a second, I thought that. Hey, there you two are.
Hey, I'm ready again.

That's a nice hiding.

This time, let's do the mom, okay?

They are ahead of it, but there was a nice move there. Yes, my child.
Father, I need your guidance. Oh, right now it's not really a good time.

Oh, no, I'm not doing it, bro. Come on.
He's not that upset about

this gremlin showing up. It's this sex gremlin.

Oh, that.

That was great.

Going on. There's a couple things that are good here.
Yeah. Really good.
There's a poster on the wall of the subway, and it's a picture of me as a character, and it says, I fucked your pairs.

is that what mulaney kept yeah of course i feel like that's very mulany all right so so then you're at another house it's your parents' house and it's wig and fred

and so that's the mislead that you just heard that it's but again just this house it's amazing it's got all we're shooting the whole thing in one house it's like we're all over town you just sounded a little bit like how it's turned you like in this house it's it's amazing this house long island house do you have any idea what i would do to this little house double wide near some great restaurants the location floors.

Did you ever think about actually fucking this house while you were there? You came in. Was your real dick? And so then Andy enters.

He's got a blurred crotch now with a big old thing kind of behind the blur wagging around. Did you ever, was that your real dick, Andy?

Oh, yes, this is a Stern interview.

No, Howard. No, it was a prosthetic.
Come on. All right.

Did you keep it? Did you keep the prosthetic? Nope, didn't keep it.

See, for me, I would never be able to do that because the line is very small. Continuing, huh? All right.
So then

he's at a confessional in a Catholic church.

And we got Hater looking very good. And again, nice lighting.
And again, they are ahead of it, which is why it has to win on performance. They know you're going to be there, Andy.

Yes, but it's really nice. And it happens very fast.
I wish there was a different twist here, but we're just going fast. Yes, my child.
Father, I need your guidance.

Oh, right now it's not really a good time.

Oh, come on, that's you again, bro. Come on.
I do like it's the window on the other side of the confessional the little door. Yeah, and I like that he calls the priest babe.
That's

he's consistent. It's okay.
The beat is well shot too, but honestly, because his next beat is so good, it's cuttable, I would say. Because at that moment, we're a little too far ahead.

But Hater was red hot. Red hot.
We needed to include it. We couldn't.

All right, then he's in the subway, sees a poster of Andy with the cereal and says, I fucked your parents. He hates seeing that.

He hates seeing that. Looking at a picture of him

Oh, he's realizing.

Okay, so he goes home. He's sadly looking at a photo of better days with him in the seam, but then notices, what the? He's never noticed before, but right behind them, Angie with a bowl of cereal.

This is a very, this feels like a photo that you'd want to keep as well. Yeah.
It's a very nice photo. This guy always has a bowl of cereal.
Yeah. I hope Ryan has that photo.

We should have given that to him as a gift. You know what it is? It's like Donald's.
It's got a real Donald Sutherland in Animal House.

I feel like he was wearing a robe like this, maybe eating cereal. Remember, he's the professor? Or Jeff Bridges?

Steal Magnolias, League of Their Own, Terms of Endearment. Those are Keeve movies.
Animal House?

You lost me. Interesting.
You know what I thought of? I thought of when Jeff Bridges moved in with Zoe Seldonna, and all he could do is play with his iPhone 17, but it has a similar kind of vibe.

I'm sorry, was that an ad or something? Okay, keep moving on. Okay.

You, Kyle.

Before you say anything, just listen. Good.
The others, they meant nothing. It was you all along.
It's always been you. Are you doing an Antonio Banderis?

No, but I am wearing a huge fake chest hair thing under that shirt, I think.

Are you? Yeah. It's not really the best time.
What? Who is it, babe?

You.

You?

No.

Come on. Yes.
No. I got a a bone to pick with you! I have a bone to pick with you! Well, come over here then! You come over here! I'm not coming over there, I'm here in the doorway.
Hey!

Look, I've been thinking, and I should be with you. You're way better than this guy.
I am, right? Yeah. Wanna get out of here? I'd love to.
Come in here and I'll fight me. We'll bring it on there.

Whenever you're ready. Great, I will.
I'm coming.

I forgot about this. I don't.

Oh, my God. Oh, the best.
This is good. This is the best car.

Oh my gosh. Because he was doing the over-the-shoulder.
Oh, I forgot about that. Fucking Matt Young's.
That is the best fucking cameo maybe of any digital show.

Shit, that's good. Fucking fill up, young.
Is it criterion? It's not. But it goes from one where you think the audience is going to get ahead of you and you end it with an impossible printing.

We just needed to kill some of the middle beats and get here a little faster. It's

pretty good. It was never going to quite work on like, it's a great final mode.

It It doesn't have, we didn't think of as many twists as like the mirror, where we really were finding ways to tell this, to tell the story in a different way every single time.

The beats couldn't get fast enough to have that like propulsion of the music. No, because we had to keep resetting to slow rom-com drama, which just slows you down.

Look at fucking Yonks' face in this freezer, though. Like, so good though.

Yeah.

Was this our intended ending, Akiva, or did we come up with this on set and try it? I think on set because we dressed him like that so that we could do the over-the-shoulders between two of you.

yes exactly and then we were just like just walk in and turn around because it's too good so good and stare at the camera oh god it really it's really everything you need here here's what i'll say agreed seth not criterion about any stretch but if we were doing like a clip reel of all our best shots i might throw this in now having completely forgotten about it's wonderful perfect performance from yonks agreed here's the other thing you also say this occasionally seth where you like a sketch or whatever like is a brainworm for one particular way that a person says a line.

And I will say that as soon as we watch the end of that, I'm like, oh, I do occasionally say, I have a bone compic with you. Or something about the way Andy said that.

This predates the first Puss and Boots movie,

but I swear there are scenes where Puss and Boots is literally saying, and it's Banderis going, like, you break me. I break you.
You break me. And they repeat it a bunch of times.
It's kind of.

I know what you're saying. They took it from us.
Yeah. You want some money.
And then, do you, was that, is that when it freeze framed and it went, Joe Buzzard?

Yeah. He turns, if I'm remembering right, because I haven't watched it in like 10 years, puss turns around and he has Shrek's face.
And there's two pusses, but one is Shrek.

I know that's the name of the character, but even you just saying that made me feel uncomfortable. Look at what I looked up, though.
All right.

So when I tried to find this on YouTube, the first thing I typed in was The Other Man. It's crazy.
And the first thing that came up is a movie.

From a year ago that I have not heard of, which is even crazier because the main star of it is Liam Neeson.

And I thought I was paying attention to every movie he's made in the last 10 years from one year ago the trailers from a year ago i don't know if when the movie's out and it's literally just from this thing it says suspicious his wife laura linney is having an affair and then the other man is antonio banderes okay so that came out 2008 though so did we rip that off we are getting the accent but we're not getting our moment i mean i was intending the accent to be more like frankly how yoram used to do macedonian and stuff like i wasn't imagining it making bandaras

bro? You know? And Macedonian man. Yeah.
Why aren't people talking about the Ice Cube War of the Worlds anymore? I thought that was going to stick around a little longer. Even the duds don't stick.

You know what I mean? I know. I didn't want, like, we talked about G Lee.
That was in the consciousness for so many years afterwards, and we still talk about it. Like, it still exists.

War of the Worlds. with Ice Cube.
I didn't even get to watch it yet. Were you there when

we had a G Lee joke and something when Ben hosted in like fucking 2000? It was the year after you left, Andy, because he hosted Haters, Freds, and Sadegas's last show. So 2013.

And we had a Gly joke, and he was, he goes, hey, we're on the floor. He goes, hey, just FYI,

there were worse movies that year.

And he goes, and there's been a lot. of worse movies since.
He goes, was it a good movie? No, but everybody talks about it like it's the worst movie ever made. Completely current.

It wasn't even close to the worst movie that year. It was really funny.

And it was very fun for him. He wasn't saying it was a good movie.
He was just like, why do we? It's just a fixation. I'm like, one thing is like, it would just sound like G Lee.

It's just so fun to say. Because the dude who directed it is named Martin Brest, and he directed Beverly Hills Cop.
Oh, piece of shit. Midnight Run.
Oh, fucking.

Son of a Woman, Andy. Send of a Woman.
Oh,

this guy. How is he not drummed out of Hollywood earlier? Send of a Woman, Seth.

Thank you.

Meet Joe Black. First 10 minutes of Meet Joe Black are the best thing I've ever seen.
You said hey, like Beetlejuice instead of huah.

Wait, I've been doing an interminable joke during corrections about how I want to start calling, based on Son of the Woman, I want to start calling Al Pacino the Takua guy.

Whenever I start any kind of new production. It works.
Mathematically, it works.

Whenever I start a new production for anything, I buy a whole bunch of scarface posters.

And when me and Solomon were shooting down in Albuquerque, I got a whole bunch of Scarface posters and then wrote on them to Johnny for John Solomon. To Johnny, who are love Al Pacino?

I really like that trick.

Just to intimidate all the new crew members who come through. I just like the idea that he doesn't know which movie he was in.

Say the most iconic line from Scarface Andy, but as Barney from The Simpsons. Say hello to my little friend!

Yep.

Can I make a grape about my dad? Sure. It's a little bit of a tangent, but it's just a place for it.
Sure, man. Why not?

It's Al Pacino related. Mostly so we can just figure out why

what just happened in spite of it. Okay, you guys know this photo, right? This is.

Jorm, before you say what you're about to say, I just want to say this episode is going to be real embarrassment of riches of stuff that we can cut. Yeah.
So just throw something else at it.

But Jorm's dad is known as weird Al Pacino. Yes.

First of all, there's that, right? So that's why he's making the connection here. By his children only.
No, everyone at the Berkeley Repertory Theater called him weird Al Pacino.

No, the way that that came about. He was by Sea in the theater department.
No, the way that that came about, Keith, was that

Asa, right before Mari met my father, Asa was in the car. My dad was coming in from a flight.
Asa, my brother, was like, yeah, my dad's kind of like a mix between weird Al and Al Pacino.

And then Mari was like, you mean weird weird al pacino and he was like oh shit and then as soon as they didn't put it together and then my dad sits down and then and then mari who's never met my dad is like yo guess what mari just called you weird al pacino she was like i didn't call you that i just put two things together that you said like

Anyway, so I'm going to put these in the feed because my dad, I'm still mad about this. Great.
That you just saw that picture. Then I had this photo.
This is a,

oh

my father as Al Pacino in the crazy killing spree in the end of Scarface. And I gave him that paint.
It's a painting. It's an oil painting that I had made for him.

And then I gave it to him to put up at the Berkeley Rep. And then he fucking gave it away.
When he was leaving the Berkeley Repertory Theater, he gave it to like the

set department. Where I was like, that cost me $400, that joke.
Like, fucking.

Bring it with you. That's my gripe, guys.
All right. Your arms, gripes.
Your arms, thorns. We We are moving on.

Now, do you remember the story of what happened when I was filming a movie 10 years ago? So you weren't old enough to remember.

And I was in Atlanta and suddenly people were saying that i had been 86 from a restaurant in la and they had my head shot up in the front window and it said 86 to do not serve oh yes i remember this story and why had that happened fraud exactly thank you what was the fraud somebody had stolen my dad's credit card information and used it.

That's right. At the restaurant.
At the restaurant.

And then it had gotten when I got all my bills and I saw that there was like thousands of dollars of fake charges, I told them, but it was really late.

Exactly, because when the credit card company took the money away and they got real pissed at me, even though it was a restaurant I had never even been to. Never been to and still has never been to.

Why would you fuck with anything perfect? We saw Rob Klein yesterday, Seth.

Speaking of our office, it was a perfect office day. We had Rob Klein working all morning while me and Andy were in the other room having a business meeting with Yormon Speaker.

And then Tim and Zach showed up for the second half and we chilled with them for what was Klein in the building for? He was just writing.

I think he was writing on Andy's movie, but he just was using it as an office. Right.
All right, you guys ready? Yeah.

You're watching Tacoma Public Access. We got the same intro, same megatracks with Dave and the Spoon music.

While the Who's of Whoville were laughing and eating, the Grinch from his lair sought to wreak havoc on their season. He thought, how do I ruin their holiday meals?

A plan sprang to mind, which he enacted with zeal. Del Pickle's seasoning on fries will make for a green surprise.
And I know they'll be shocked with these loathsome odd socks.

So if you want to experience the Grinch's mischievous meal, head to McDonald's and show him how you really feel. The new Grinch Meal now at McDonald's at participating McDonald's while supplies last.

With Dave and the Scooch.

All right, I'm stopping. So at the table though, wasn't this Parakeet

Bookshop? Parakeet something. What? Junction? What are you talking about? So I'd assume that it made it to dress because that's what I always remember about it.

But it goes, coming up next, it's Parakeet Book Club. And it was like, you thought it was going to be like a literary show.
And then it went.

We did it as a misdirect at the table, and we called it Parakeet Book Club

so that everyone didn't know that we were doing Mondo butts ago. Fuck, that's weird.

And so it was like, Okay, Parakeet Junction, and then it was like, And then all of a sudden, it would go, Mama Ma, Ma, Mondo. Yes, it was like if you can find it while we're watching.

It was, I believe it was coming up in an hour, Parakeet Junction. But first,

and the whole, I remember the whole table room went, ah,

that's what you want. that's what you want on the table

a hundred people groaning it was it was very fun okay okay so that is totally different immediately different yeah so now there's a there's a butt behind you yeah no longer a greek pillar yeah there's a bust of a butt like a mannequin that's been sawed yeah it's entirely too sexual by the way yeah because it's something because mannequins are pretty like yeah it's shapely now and there was above it that we panned down from a giant banner that was also in the shape of a butt with butthole i might note oh yeah.

Is there was there a butthole in the banner? Yeah, they're these guys are excited about. Oh, yeah, it's got a hole.

All right. Your look has been way toned down.
Yeah. Andy.
I don't know about way, but toned down. It's like the wigs like a little lower.
It's been finessed.

Everything looks a little, the clothes look a little lower. It's more subdued.
Yeah. All right.
Well, let's keep rocking. With Dave and the Scooch.

All right, welcome to Mondo Butts, the only show dedicated to the world's most perfect body part, the the butt.

I'm Dave and this is the Scooch. Scooch Deach.

Yeah,

we got a sick show lined up. Let's kick things off with Butts in the News.

Butts in the news.

I think they messed that up. A little glitch.
A little glitch. It is going worse.
Yeah. Definitely going worse.
From a technical difficulty. Performance-wise, killing it.
Yeah.

They hate you more because of the, like, I will say having a Parthenon behind you didn't make you hate them as much as the full butt mannequin makes you hate them. Agreed.
Yeah. Okay.

This week, Jennifer Lopez attended the premiere of her new film, The Backup Plan. Also in attendance was her butt.

Ba-ba-ba-ba!

Awesome. Now it's time to play Boobman or Buttman.
We'll start with you, Scooch. Scooch, are you a boob man or a butt man?

Buttman?

Same. Our next segment is called If Butts Could Talk.
Hey, Dave. If Butts Could Talk!

A little technical. Hey, Dave.

What if Catherine Heigl's butt could talk? I wonder what it would say, Scooch.

I love you, Dave, and the Scooch.

We love you, too, Catherine Heigl's butt.

All right, so the butt could talk, and it has a real, like, sort of unsettling animated window. Wow, a lot of yorm vio in this one.
Yeah.

There's already been multiple technical difficulties. Yeah.
Andy, can you think back and put yourself back in that chair? How do you feel like it's going right now?

I'm eating shit and I'm sweating my ass off. But you know, you know a gorilla is going.
No, I don't know that it is. It might not be.
Oh, yeah. Do you think it's not coming now? It might not be.

I don't think that's part of this one. That's why I was excited to re-watch it.
Just

not excited because I think it's good, but just to see what we tried. Okay.
Andy, when you're on set, you're performing.

You have no clue how bad the booth has fucked this up so far with their technical things. But I have heard the audio of the two package pieces that they put into early twice.
Yeah, you can tell.

You can tell. You can see my face.
My face was bummed when because he started doing his line and they threw it on and then it was a mess. Yeah, you can tell something's off.

But that first one goes to black screen, so it's even worse than you could imagine. But yeah, I mean, if they were trying to sabotage it on purpose, hats off to them.

Okay, and now the linchpin of our program, the world-famous butts of the week.

Butts of the week.

Okay, I saw our first butt of the week in the parking lot. This chick walked by me and I snapped the keeper of her trapper.
Let's take a look. Parking lot butts.

All right, very nice. I spotted butt number two doing some gardening in my neighborhood and I just had to get a pick.
Check it out.

Garden butt.

Wait.

That butt looks kind of weird. Well, you should recognize it, because it's your dad.

Scooch is dad's butt!

What? Is this a joke? No, man. I really think your dad's got an ace pooper.
Dad's ace! Ace pooper!

Dude, gross, man! Stop showing my dad's butt! Just say it. It's a nice butt!

All right, you like this next one, Scooch. You know my cousin Anna? Oh, yeah, she's super hot.
Well, we're in luck, because she's also pregnant. Let's check out her unborn baby's butt.

Prenatal butt!

What are you doing, man? Uh, the butts of the week? Okay, Numero Trace is a dirty dog's butt. But dog, but

dude, why are you showing all these weird butts? Um, I'm a butt man.

All right.

If it's a whole new game, it's not a bad one. You know?

It's a complete and total rewrite, and it's actually working. I mean, it's working pretty well.

This chunk, I would argue, the opening credits does all the work of assuming you guys are just like the classic sexist going after girl butts.

We could have almost skipped the whole first half and got right to this. Yeah, I completely agree because it chilled them correctly.

Yeah, you're right. We don't have to.
Yeah, we don't need the extra two setup beats of you guys being creeps. Just go straight to butts of the week.
Yeah. But let me just say, I'm proud of you guys.

I never believed that you would just abandon the gorilla. I mean, the gorilla was really like the only thing.
I mean, I loved it, obviously. He could still be, he could still be coming.

He could still be coming. We have, yeah, we have a meta.
They didn't mention that the zoo parking lot. So I think we haven't said that.
I think I remember where this ends, and it's not the gorilla.

Man, yeah, but I thought we were talking about girl butts. Whatever, you sexist.
All right, let's bring out our guests because it's time for show us your butt.

Show us your butt.

What's up?

Alright, this is Dr. Sarah Park, and she's here to show us a butt.
She's gonna show us her butt.

Not exactly. Here's the video of her giving me a colonoscopy.
What? No!

What's up, Dave, here, along with the good doctor, and we're getting ready to check out my cold dog.

Hey, Dave, and I am now inserting the camera like so.

Oh, whoa, dude. Oh, Scooch, you gotta try this, bro.
Oh, man, it feels crazy. Oh, Oh Scooch, I miss you, man.
Oh, Doc, it feels awesome.

And that's the best way to prevent colon cancer. Caca-Ca-Colon cancer!

This is not the show I signed up for. Well, thanks for joining us here on Mondo Butts.
Tune in next week when we'll be looking at pictures I took of Scooch's butt through the window in his bathroom.

What? I'm a butt man!

Mondo!

Come on,

it's printed away. And he left.
You don't have to be able to run off that that often.

You left your own sketch. I'm going to tell you right now.
That was good. That was not in the script.
I was like, that was a fucking bust.

And I left. Maybe you had to get changed really fast.
Yeah, but I was like, that's not going to happen.

You were running to the booth to say. Sorry.
Good job. You fuck me.
How'd it go? Great job in the cues. How'd it go? You didn't fuck it up, did you?

I will just say. If you had dropped out the first 90 seconds

and maybe come up with something else it would have been okay yeah there's a it's it's it's an almost yeah and i like that the show rewarded you for um you know doing a thorough rewrite trying we were trying it here's what we had at the table and this is my memory of it and it's very funny that it was not even addressed and it speaks to how many memories are formed at the wednesday table and how this joyous choice you and client made has stayed with me forever open on public access bumper you're watching tacoma public Access.

Coming up next, the daytime Emmy winning program Parakeet Book Club with guest moderator, Sidney Poitier. Cut to live.
Andy and Ryan is two dickheads on a couch.

Andy, Parakeet Book Club has been canceled. Hit it.

And then we're into Mondo Butts. There you go.
That's a lovely thing for the table. It was fun.
You know, SNL is a lot like summer camp. Yeah, at its best.

Yeah, sometimes you got to torture the counselors.

I texted Klein asking for a follow-up second MondoButs voice note, and he didn't send one, but I said, Seth wants to know why the first one had Roman pillars.

And he said, because the hosts of Mondo Butts thought it would be a classy touch, obviously.

I think that tracks.

They were down in the basement of KT whatever it was. Yeah.
And then they get attacked by a gorilla.

All right. Well.
It's been lovely, gentlemen.

I love you very much. Love all you tigers.
What do we think? I feel like this is lower third, like bottom third third episodes. Of the digital short or the podcast? The podcast.
Yeah.

I can never tell, man. I can never tell because people have said such nice things in their letters.
I'm like, what? I don't even understand what's happening anymore. It's okay.

Last one, Andy, I will say last one, maybe top five. I had a hoot listening back.
I had a hoot listening back, too. The murking was really killing me.

Merking.

People really said that, right? That's a gaming thing, right? People say that a lot. Oh, it's definitely a thing.
Just, you know, not in grave art.

Is it because it's short for like a mercenary killing? I think so. I think it is murking, yeah.
Or maybe it's like mercury poisoning someone. Oh, that's what it is.

That's what it is. Yeah.
That's what it is.

I'm going to slowly kill you over time as you roll mercury in your hands because you're a dental assistant. And, you know, I'm going to force you into the dental industry

and then eventually you'll die of mercury poisoning. Or maybe not even killing you.
Maybe it's like a Munchausen by proxy kind of a thing, like just a little dinkle-doodle in your food.

This uh feels like when I used to do improv shows and we couldn't find it out, right? I thought we were done. I thought we were saying I love you and goodbye.

Wait, wait, wait, but so what would you do in that situation, Seth? I thought we were waiting because you were like looking up something on your computer that you wanted to bring up as one last thing.

Yeah, no, the only reason we're still talking is because you and Andy didn't say I love you. I can see your computer in your glasses, and it says red tube.
Oh, is that back up in front of? I got

another great Alan Partridge. During During the record, Seth?

Bro, that's messed up. I'm Jeffrey tubing in it.
I'm tubing it.

Shit, Freaks.

That's what Red Tube is for. I'm Red Tubing.
Hold up. Is there a new Tapper illustration before we go? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where's the new Tapper? Let's throw it in the chat. Oh, so

I'm glad we didn't stop recording. This is great.
Wow, I never stopped recording. This is, look, this is, people enjoy.
Because you know what?

Sometimes people listen and they're like, it just comes to them so naturally. So it's good when they hear us working.
Oh, my God.

I was just Googling Tale. Oh, my God.
Tapper. All right.
We're looking at the new Tapper. So you don't look like Mark Cuban.
Seth, people are looking less like themselves to some degree.

I'm getting sleepier. Yeah.
I'm like, okay. I'm still okay with me.
I think Yorm looks a little. Well, I think that he knows that I'm on a lot of painkillers.

Yeah, you're getting a little droopier. My face is drooping.
Yorm looks like the guy at the laundromat with the beret and the children's book Corduroy.

Oh, yeah, he he does

i feel like i don't know where this you're not a chin cleft guy i feel like he cleft you andy yeah i've gone from mark cuban to jay leno yeah it's a little too much chin yeah yeah he everyone else he's doing kind of trying to accurate comic book character versions and yours is like a boardwalk uh character yeah you look like you should be on rollerblades you know with like a little teeny body and and little rollerblades but i will say it's still very good it's still very good it's incredibly good.

It's better than I could.

It's just not quite there. Yeah.

If we're measuring it up against the greatest artists in all of history. The yorn boob is very perky, like as a breast.
It's like poked out and stuff. It's got a lot going on.

And then the rest of my boob is my boob face is

problematic. This has maybe been our perviest episode, but not on purpose.
Yeah.

No, but it's like when you open up that on your browser and just have it in the background the whole time, like Seth, it just kind of influences your thoughts.

Andy, I'll see you at the chateau in 45. My brother, yes.
I will see you there. We will have several cocktails.
I'll fall asleep in my chair.

I really, for a second, thought you guys were going to meet up, and I was so jealous. No, we're just kidding.
I know. But he knows I was.
You shouldn't kid. You should do that.

I'm so, I was so happy you guys were about to get together for drinks. We're trying to make it happen.
Seth, let's do that next week, man. Or not next week, but the week after.

How about Thursday on Thanksgiving? Yeah, let's do it on Thursday. You're right.
Ditch the baggage. Yorm, you can't drink yet.
Come on. Yeah, you don't want to mix it with this stuff.

I just can drink less because they'll get super fucked up. Hey, I saw, because the second one's about to come out.
I never saw the first one.

Yorm, have you, did you ever see that crazy Finland action movie Sisu? Oh, of course. It seems like the most Yorm movie.
Well, do you know the actor's name? No. It's Yorma.
Yeah. Is it Yorma?

It's Yorma. It is.
I I watched that one. And he's got a huge Yodima.

His name is Yorma Strong Pelvis.

It is. That's right.
That's right. So there are differences.
Sisu is a very different movie if it's our Yorma.

The opening scene. I can't get this gold into my backpack.

It's a cartoonish action movie, but it seems like the kind of movie that you guys would be like, love the audacity of but now i'm not quite sure they're making a second one so i know that's what it's out what did he just oh it's out now it was sweet dude or it's about to be out this weekend speaking of movies that are out and my family just watched and they loved and you were in andy is uh i believe it's called arco oh yeah arco is awesome yeah fucking cartoon one they all yeah i'm a voice i'm a voice in arco

which is it's a french animated movie that natalie portman is producing and she got you know american actors to do the english dub when is that coming out right now? It's out. Promoting.

Andy, did she did Portman strong arm you? If you don't fucking do this, I'm going to bury you. I'm going to fucking bury you.

No, I was just told through an email from my agent that she was involved in. I was like, anything for my old friend.

Okay. What's your character's name in Arco? Exactly.
It doesn't matter.

No, everybody thought it was very moving. My whole family.
Yes,

it's very beautiful and cool and sci-fi-y and all the things I like.

What kind of character do you play? Me, Will Farrell, and Flea are the voices of these three sort of bumbling guys that are chasing after the protagonists.

Oh, I'm assuming you do your Barney, yeah, Barney the whole time.

Archo!

Archo come behind! Don't travel through time!

All right, love you guys. Love you, love you, love you.
Later, Arnold. Later, Quits.
