Transcript

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, everybody, this is Seth.

[Andy Samberg]

We are not doing an episode of the Lonely island and Seth Meyers podcast this week due to the developing situations of the fires in Los Angeles. A great many people who work on this podcast, including two of our co hosts, are in Los Angeles, and so we just didn't think it was the right time to figure out how to do a new episode. How to. I would like to send out all of our best wishes and hopes for safety to anyone who is going through this terrible time right now. And also send our gratitude to the Los Angeles Fire Department and the first responders and everyone who is making this difficult situation even a little bit better for the people who are affected. This is a very short episode and we did hear your feedback loud and clear last time, and there will not be ads. And since there is no episode, I would like you to, if you care to enjoy Andy, the last time he was on Late Night with Seth Meyers, his performance as a French pole vaulter who made news at the Olympics. Thanks again for your understanding. We hope to be back together with you all soon.

[Seth Meyers]

I do want to talk about the fact that we do a podcast together. Yeah, the Lonely island and Seth Meyers podcast.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Seth.

[Mikey]

Yeah, I love the cast, but I'm gonna hijack this real quick.

[Seth Meyers]

You're gonna hijack what? The interview.

[Mikey]

The whole show. Look, you remember when we were on SNL and I would sometimes come to your office because I saw a story that I thought would make a funny Weekend Update feature?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, of course.

[Mikey]

Okay. Did you see that story this summer during the Olympics about the French pole vaulter who knocked the bar down with his giant dong?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah, Yeah, I saw. That would have been good.

[Mikey]

Yeah, it would have been good. Should we do it now, though?

[Seth Meyers]

Great. Wally, get the. That happened this summer. All right. In that case, please welcome the French pole vaulter who knocked the bar down with his giant dong. Oh, bonsois. Well, thanks. Thanks for being here.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Merci for having me.

[Seth Meyers]

So, obviously a bittersweet ending to your Olympic dream. Oui, oui.

[French Pole Vaulter]

It was sad to not win the gold. But on the other hand, the entire world now saw my gift.

[Seth Meyers]

Has this been a problem before?

[French Pole Vaulter]

The size of my gift?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Ah, oui. And not just in the poor vault. I also tried hurdles, but I kept knocking them over. You see, the sum of my junk is quite grand. Seth, in French, grand means big. They are also grand English usage.

[Seth Meyers]

Are you. Are you planning on. Are you planning on competing in the next Olympics?

[French Pole Vaulter]

Oui.

[Mikey]

Oui.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Yeah, it is either that or Go back to my old job. I was, how you say, a windshield wiper for trucks.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay. Yeah.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Is that how you say. Is that how you say yes?

[Seth Meyers]

Yes. We say windshield wiper for trucks.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Ah, bien, bien, bien. And to the people of France, who I let down, let me say, I am sorry. Or as we say in France, pardon. Or as I say in my home, pardon. Or as they say in the bullpen of the office where I work. Holy crap.

[Mikey]

That guy just knocked everything off my desk with his giant wang.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Is that how you say Seth? Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't know.

[French Pole Vaulter]

It's how you say, a bien, bien, bien. And to everyone out there who say I should have talked, I did.

[Seth Meyers]

Why? Why, if I may ask, are you talking about this now? It happened so long ago.

[French Pole Vaulter]

You know what else is so long?

[Andy Samberg]

I do.

[French Pole Vaulter]

I do, Mikey.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[French Pole Vaulter]

As for why now, I left for New York as soon as the Olympics ended, but I traveled very slowly on account of my, how you say, big old floppy wiener.

[Seth Meyers]

Stop saying how you say.

[French Pole Vaulter]

But is that how you say big ol. Floppy wiener?

[Seth Meyers]

Yes. That's how we say, ah, bien, bien.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Excuse me for a moment. I am so hungry. Seth.

[Mikey]

Oh.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Oh, Seth. Do you know what this reminds you of?

[Seth Meyers]

It doesn't. It doesn't remind me of anything.

[French Pole Vaulter]

I bet it does. A little.

[Mikey]

Ah.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Andy.

[Andy Samberg]

Hey, this is. I'm just about to say, this is.

[Seth Meyers]

A real dude, right?

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, are these jokes okay?

[Mikey]

I mean, if anyone can make jokes about people with huge dongs, it's a guy with a tiny one.

[Seth Meyers]

Surprised you're willing to admit that, but I was talking about you.

[Andy Samberg]

Jesus Christ.

[French Pole Vaulter]

He said.

[Mikey]

Yeah.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Do you think this is going to win late night on vulture.com this week?

[Mikey]

No, I did not.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Oh, Seth, I saw your friend Colin Jost was at the Olympics. Is it true he lost a foot?

[Seth Meyers]

No, no. He had an infection, but he didn't lose a foot.

[French Pole Vaulter]

Ah, I see. Do you know how I could lose a foot? How?

[Seth Meyers]

Cut off a third of my. Oh, really? Worth. Worth it. Not too much time has passed. Andy Sandberg, everybody. It was Andy this whole time. Leonas Friday. And check out the Lonely island in S. Mer's podcast where you get your podcast.
