---

Episode Overview

This episode is steeped in nostalgia, improv banter, and inside SNL/lonely island lore. The podcast veers between:

• Reminiscing about Lonely Island Digital Shorts from their SNL days
• Inside baseball about SNL sketch creation, cutting room floor bits, and never-aired sketches
• Movie and pop-culture tangents (noir films, Star Wars, beer cocktails)
• Listener and YouTube comment callbacks
• Playful ribbing about friendship, missed connections, and inside jokes

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Joy and Chaos of Coordinating Friendship

• The episode kicks off with Andy eating breakfast on mic, leading to ASMR jokes and friendly roasting about not meeting up enough when in the same city.
• Seth: "That was like me being like, if we were in the same city, I’d see you every day. And then you came out here and I’ve just got no time for you at all." (01:21)
• Akiva: "You choose your wife and children over your friend." (01:17)

2. Podcast In-Jokes and Listener Engagement

• Recurring references to the podcast being a "circle" of in-jokes and inside references.
• Listeners timestamp segments, e.g. “Oh my God Akiva” moments, helping others cut through the banter to content.
• The group muses on naming their inside-joke dictionary: Quaido's Almanac, the Nixionary. (03:11–03:22)

3. Absent Guests and Podcast Logistics

• They update on "guests promised but not delivered," including the Doritos marketing guy ("maybe hardcore backed away from ever speaking about normal") and spelling bee runner Sam Azersky. (03:33–04:14)
• Joking about the accidental scheduling of the episode: "This episode is only happening because somebody put it in your calendar erroneously by accident, and it can be taxed." — Andy (04:54)

4. SNL Digital Shorts & Spin-Off Lore

• Akiva and Andy discuss being sent a link to "Laser Gato," a version of the Laser Cats sketch that was a hit at Cannes.
• Comically do a "breathing cut" live watch for five seconds, and riff on how "cool" it would be to do a commentary track. (06:00–06:51)

5. Pop Culture Rabbit Holes & Listener Corrections

• Listeners correct the hosts ("You guys talked about Ghostface in Scream 2022 but didn’t mention Jack Quaid as Ghostface"), leading to a playful semi-spoiler debate. (07:18–08:41)
• Segue into recent casting (Jenna Ortega, Oscar-winning Mikey Madison) and the group joking about how little they know about Oscar rules.

6. SNL Sketch Debrief: "Horseplay"

• Deep dive into the digital short "Horseplay," which parodies movie trailers about horses playing baseball, featuring musical imitations (Randy Newman, Cranberries, Alanis Morissette, Robert Smith).
• Discussion about impressions, cast bits, shortness for comic effect, and traditions of "impression parade" sketches at the 5-to-1 SNL slot.
• Notable quote (on impressions):
  Akiva: "I've been told from a very young age that I am ‘good in small doses’ by my parents." (27:38)
• Playful argument about which cast member played which singer in iterations of "Horseplay" and its sequels "Bunny Business" and "Doggy Duty." (20:06–24:01, 34:32–34:55)

7. Sketches That Almost Made It: Jeff Montgomery & Risks of Comedy

• A rare revisiting of the "Jeff Montgomery" sketch (with Jon Hamm and Will Forte), about a registered sex offender on Halloween, examining what made it air or not, and the fine line of edgy SNL comedy.
• Seth: "It was miraculous that it got away with it and it had to be perfect to do it, which it was." (36:33)
• They play the audio, debate its appropriateness, and highlight that only some sketches ride the razor’s edge without going over—this one almost did twice.

8. Comedy Drinking Traditions and Everyday Life

• Andy introduces "Light and Light" (Coors Light and Sprite), a kind of trashy shandy, detailing its origin with Naked Gun co-writer Doug Mand.
• The group swaps stories on drink-mixing traditions worldwide.

9. Travel, Family, and the Occasional Sports Doc Plug

• Seth recounts a rare kid-free trip to Madrid for the premiere of the Netflix Rafa Nadal doc directed by his brother-in-law, and the wonders of walkable European cities and jamón. (11:03–11:52)
• Various tangents: Akiva’s long city walks, Seth’s run-ins with "Quaid Army" fans doing finger-gun gestures for Digital Short recognition.

10. Old Movies and Fandom Segues

• Dive into classic noir films ("Berlin Express," "Out of the Past"); playful arguments on who is cultured enough to get the references.
• Movie-title madness: riffing on memorably awkward titles like "Ballistic: X vs Sever" and "Lucky Number Slevin," culminating in a guessing game about their Rotten Tomatoes scores, with the group delighting in the 0% for Ballistic. (32:25–34:11)

11. Star Wars and Relationship Podcast Pivot

• Star Wars character deep cuts, musings on Ewoks, Jar Jar Binks, Bib Fortuna, and the hypothetical: "F***, Marry, Kill: Jar Jar, Wicket, Bib Fortuna."
• Seth, as his wife passes behind him: "I think you f*** the Ewok. ... My wife literally walked behind me." (42:06–42:19)
• Satirical take on Jabba the Hutt modernizing his operations with AI, at Bib Fortuna’s expense.

12. Closing Loops: Callback Bits & Absent Yorm

• Yorm (Jorma Taccone) is repeatedly referenced ("Yorm would know this," "Yorm is a super Mets fan," etc.), but he is absent; the crew jokes about his assistant being Bib Fortuna.
• Several bits remain unresolved (“How many hints do you get in the spelling bee?”), classic for a “sleepy lil ep.”

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On close friendship & scheduling fail:
  Akiva: "You choose your wife and children over your friend." (01:17)
• On performance:
  Akiva: "'I've been told from a very young age that I am ‘good in small doses’ by my parents.'" (27:38)
• On sketch writing economy:
  Seth: "Once you've scored ... your second Robert Smith verse is only gonna make people see the differences." (27:27)

If you enjoy:

• Deep SNL/NYC comedy behind-the-scenes lore
• Tangents that start with a sketch and end in film or sports trivia

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's the Lonely island and Seth Meyers podcast.

[Seth Meyers]

Have you heard it,

[Andy Samberg]

Andy? It really worked out for me. Cause our food showed up late. I have a full breakfast. Eggs, hash browns, the works. Just gave me a chance from where

[Akiva Schaffer]

we can bleep it out. Just.

[Andy Samberg]

Just gave me a chance to scarf it.

[Seth Meyers]

I love that you're kind of sliding nicely into the orange spot of doing the ASMR eatin position. Wow, you really did sc.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I'm starving.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We've had a couple nice Lonely island brunches at.

[Seth Meyers]

Have you been social at all, Andy? I mean, obviously not with me. I've completely let you down as a friend in your time in New York City shooting a movie. But have you seen people?

[Akiva Schaffer]

You're basically sending a clear message. I get it.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And that message is you choose your wife and children over your friend.

[Seth Meyers]

Andy, you really called my bluff. That was like me being like, if we were in the same city, I'd see you every day. And then you came out here and I've just got no time for you at all.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, I think we all know how to spend quality time with you, Seth. Do my show open for you on tour?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah. Classic Brooks stuff. Yeah, Brooks doesn't ever have to scarf down his breakfast mid pod. We're leisurely about it.

[Andy Samberg]

I saw Brooks.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, nice.

[Andy Samberg]

And he said that it was such a blessing to have you, Seth, as a later in life friend.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, nice thing to hear.

[Andy Samberg]

He's not that old. I don't know how. Maybe I don't know where he's expecting. It seemed full of doom.

[Seth Meyers]

I guess Brooks is both not that old and older than the Hills.

[Andy Samberg]

Exactly.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, this is a sketch I think about all the time that I would say has no cultural relevance but is a real favorite of mine. I think we've talked about it when Adam Levine hosted Oops. Firehouse Incident where Bill plays a very strange guy who works at a firehouse and he's very upset that, oh, they can't trust the bee. Yeah, the bee.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Not the bee. We've talked about this, haven't We.

[Seth Meyers]

We have talked about it, but somebody said that instead of. And it's up to you, Andy. Instead of Jack Black Spelling bee song, you can play this if you don't. Queen bee.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, not the bee.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. All right. So, Andy, this is just a dry run. Say you didn't quibi.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I didn't quibby.

[Seth Meyers]

What? Not the bee.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's really good.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, that's good. That's a keeper.

[Seth Meyers]

Here was another name for the dictionary we've been talking about. Our online dictionary, courtesy of Nick Ricardo. I've done the due diligence of learning the name of a person who's put a lot of time into this.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What did we decide on it?

[Seth Meyers]

Well, this was a pitch that I kind of like the Quaido's Almanac.

[Andy Samberg]

Because of Nick.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Anyway, but wouldn't it be the nixionary?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah, the nixionary.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

Work in progress.

[Andy Samberg]

We're gonna. Let's keep chipping away at that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Sorry, I couldn't think of a good Wonka, but that one came pretty easily.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it did. Some people have asked about guests we've promised that have never been on the pod. And if there's any update on the. I believe the Doritos marketing guy has maybe hardcore backed away from ever speaking about normal ghosted us. Yeah, I think he maybe watched it and then like said to like, maybe one colleague at work, ah, I'm doing this podcast and talk. And they were like, what? No.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, they were like, yeah, like the room went dark. You are never to speak of that.

[Seth Meyers]

Wait, not normal guy. Sam Azersky who runs the spelling bee. I mean, definitely going to happen.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Just don't know when we got to get Azursky on.

[Seth Meyers]

Steve Martin wants to talk about surf meeting. And it's really just incredible that we can't pull that together.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Holy shit. How are we have to do it?

[Andy Samberg]

How do you.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, because, I mean, one of the reasons we can't is like an hour before this started, Andy, we were all texting and then you were still eight minutes late and like, forget about getting together for the pod. Your mom is not even. He won't even text us back.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, it does concern me. Cause I'm getting dinner with him tonight. Yeah, like maybe he and forgive this died.

[Seth Meyers]

That's the.

[Andy Samberg]

That's the only thing you can think of for why he's not texting? Not just that he's.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, what else is gonna be like he. If it's not that he's such a bad person for fading us. You Know what I mean?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Well, to be fair about this episode specifically, it's only happening because somebody put it in your calendar erroneously by accident, and it can be taxed.

[Seth Meyers]

I knew 1:30, but I had kind of said I didn't think I could do it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes, Akiva, you're just out of the loop, bro.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, no one told me. And then Andy was like, is it on? And we were all like, no. And here we are.

[Seth Meyers]

Here we are. Also you, Keev, you have been in contact with somebody who's connected to Lewis and apologies for probably saying his name wrong. Louis Ashe. Louis Acher. He directed the short Laser Cats that did so well at Cannes.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes, yes, yes. A person named Sam Hoffman, who was a producer type person on Naked Gun, who works for the Seth MacFarlane company. He heard our episode and the guy. And then it. It made its way to him. To the Laser Cat fellow that I don't want to. To Louis. And we say on the episode might be Louie, that we wanted to watch it. And so I haven't yet, but he sent us over a link of. Of Laser Gato. Yes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's so tight.

[Andy Samberg]

How long.

[Seth Meyers]

How. How long a film is Laser Gato?

[Andy Samberg]

I believe it's like 22 minutes.

[Seth Meyers]

So we're going to do. We're gonna. We gotta watch Laser Gato. Have you sent me the link?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, live watching. Obviously we can't spill it to the audience because it's his. So we'll put it on mute and you'll just hear us breathing,

[Seth Meyers]

I think maybe. Or we just watch it and then give our thoughts about what I'm sure will be a, you know, wonderful film.

[Akiva Schaffer]

If we release that, it would be so fucking dope.

[Andy Samberg]

I like my.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Let's just do five seconds of it.

[Seth Meyers]

Ready?

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is our just breathing cut of Laser Gato on mute. Go.

[Andy Samberg]

That's good.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, okay, rip off.

[Andy Samberg]

There's the laser pointer.

[Akiva Schaffer]

There's the laser pointer. Yours is better. All right, we're good. That's five seconds, 22 minutes.

[Seth Meyers]

All right.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We're doing so much promo for Laser Gato.

[Seth Meyers]

Do you think he planned on this? I mean, by the way, it doesn't need our help. It's already award winning. You ever won an award in France?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Don't front on a quump.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, that's true. I'm sure everybody involved in Laser Cats would love a quump.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Insane. I didn't just say, don't frump on the quump.

[Seth Meyers]

Don't frump on the quump.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, if you're frumping on don't. If you're acting like the quump, don't matter. You're frumping on the quump. And we all know you should not frump on the quump.

[Seth Meyers]

Couple of people were very. You know, again, obviously there's no podcast that's more of a circle than this one. And someone said, I can't believe you guys talked about Ghostface in the Scream movies without referencing the fact that in the 2022 scream, Jack Quaid was Ghostface.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, number one, I did it on purpose because it's a huge spoiler. Should we beep what you just said?

[Seth Meyers]

Dude, it's 2022.

[Andy Samberg]

It's like the end of the movie. Yeah. Come on. That's the first of the one that Matt and Tyler made. That's Matt's cueto.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, let's say. You know what? We'll reach out to Matt. He's your friend. And ask him if he wants us to bleep that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I think that that's a good idea.

[Andy Samberg]

They're good at casting. Cause they had also.

[Seth Meyers]

Don't say it. Cause I'm gonna see if Andy knows it. Cause I think you're about to give it away. Andy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

There were two Ghostfaces.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

The other Ghostface has, since the movie came out, won an Oscar. Who is the other Ghostface?

[Andy Samberg]

This is in Matt and Tyler's Scream 5, 2022 scream.

[Akiva Schaffer]

David Arquette.

[Seth Meyers]

No, he is in it, but has he won an Oscar?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Mikey Madison.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

Nicely done.

[Andy Samberg]

They also had Jenna Ortega in there, obviously. And I mean, kudos to who deserves

[Akiva Schaffer]

an Oscar for Wednesday.

[Seth Meyers]

Right? That's what we're all going to say.

[Andy Samberg]

Absolutely. They cast. They really cast the crap out of that.

[Seth Meyers]

They did a great job.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't know how the Oscars work. Seth.

[Seth Meyers]

Um, nobody thought you did.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Uh, Seth.

[Seth Meyers]

Mm?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Come back to the city.

[Seth Meyers]

I will.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Now.

[Seth Meyers]

Come now?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Why not?

[Andy Samberg]

Dude, it's Saturday. You guys could be at dinner in five hours.

[Seth Meyers]

I got my parents and my kids. Although my brother in law sounds like

[Andy Samberg]

he has built in babysitters.

[Seth Meyers]

My brother in law took my kids to a trampoline park. So I'm in incredible debt to him right now. Yeah, that is nice that I'm with you guys.

[Andy Samberg]

Guys, I had a great drink last night.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What did you have?

[Andy Samberg]

It was. We called it a light and light, but it's like a. A trashy shandy. I would say it was a Coors Light with Sprite in it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

O.

[Andy Samberg]

It's like let's say three. It's like 1/4 sprite, 3/4 coors light.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Andy Samberg]

Just tastes like you're, like, at the beach, you know, or you need to be by a pool all day, like, playing badminton with them.

[Seth Meyers]

Was this invention like sort of Reese's Peanut butter cup situation where you were walking with the Coors Light and somebody else was walking with the Sprite and collided and it ended up in the same cup? Because otherwise, how the fuck did this come to pass?

[Andy Samberg]

Well, it wasn't. It exists.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, it does.

[Andy Samberg]

Kind of like, you know, it's. Yeah, but I don't know if it's. I don't know if we Google it, what it'll say, but Doug Mand, one of the co writers of, like, Naked Gun, me and him are writing that thing together, and we sit around all day. And then he brought up that it was something he had had, and we immediately were like, let's get some right now. And we sent away for some of that and then made them in the office.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, you just get those two natural ingredients and mix them together, right?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Some people did Sprite zero who didn't want the sugar.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's fine. Pass.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay. Coors Light Shandy is what I'm seeing it as.

[Andy Samberg]

And it's. Then it is those two ingredients.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, I mean, that's how to make Coors Light Shandy is a Coors Light and Sprite.

[Andy Samberg]

There you go.

[Seth Meyers]

But you were calling it. What were you calling it?

[Andy Samberg]

A Sprite and light? Is that what we were calling it? I think a Sprite and light.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, there's a long tradition of this type of thing. I think we maybe even have discussed it before. Like. Like a black eight. Like an old English 800 where you drink out the cone and pour in Guinness.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, there's. I forget what they call it. But in Spain, don't you get, like Coca Cola with red wine mixed in or those two things?

[Seth Meyers]

There you go.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, that's what Seth always orders at the River Cafe.

[Seth Meyers]

I went to. I went to Spain last week.

[Andy Samberg]

I went to Madrid. You were in Madrid last week?

[Seth Meyers]

I was in Madrid last week.

[Andy Samberg]

And I went a different kind of

[Seth Meyers]

life than 48 hours. And it was fantastic. So I'm gonna actually shout it out. I'm gonna do a little promo for my brother in law. Zach Heinzerling directed the new Rafa Nadal series on Netflix. And it's great. It's four episodes and it's a fantastic sports documentary. And the premiere was in Madrid, where I've never been. And Alexia and I went out and it's I can't remember the last time I was on a vacation where I didn't have my kids or anything to do work wise.

[Andy Samberg]

So you just like walked. Did you go to a museum? Did you? Because that's hard. Your jet lagged and you just kind of power through.

[Seth Meyers]

It's okay. We took, you know what, we took a midnight flight, slept the whole flight, basically landed at 11 and in the afternoon and turned it around and just like stayed on east coast time the whole time. And it was fantastic.

[Andy Samberg]

That's awesome.

[Seth Meyers]

Lot of jamon. Ate a lot of jamon. Yes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What is one of the episodes about how he'd always be picking his wedgies during the match?

[Seth Meyers]

It come up. It do come up. I did listen to Ibiza because I was there. Hell yeah. And it's really, it really holds up. And one day we'll talk about it, obviously. And I'm looking forward to it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Good hook.

[Seth Meyers]

Great hook.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Just like old fashioned pandering. Repetitive hook.

[Seth Meyers]

One other thing we missed in our podcast as a circle, we talked about the film Fjord.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I remember that.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. You know who's in Fjord? The film in real life?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, the Winter Soldier.

[Andy Samberg]

Bucky himself.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Sebastian Stan. And you know what, you know what someone said about the fact that we talked about Fjord and not mention that the Winter Soldier was in it? You know how they described it? I would love to hear a righteous fial.

[Andy Samberg]

A righteous fial.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, we fialed on that one.

[Seth Meyers]

We fialed appealogies. Somebody just wrote, I was reading the YouTube comments and somebody wrote 2734. Like they timestamped it and they just wrote OMG, Akiva. And I was like, I wonder what Akiva did. That got an OMG. And it's really great because we're 2734 minutes in and I started saying like I basically start commenting about the fact that we haven't started talking about partying Mr. Bernards. And it's 2734 in. And then we kind of all laugh and then Keith goes, another thing about out of the Past.

[Andy Samberg]

And is it Andy that says, oh my God, Akiva?

[Seth Meyers]

I think it's more like the listener is making that comment.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I think I also did.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, I thought it was that Andy

[Akiva Schaffer]

went, oh my God, Akiva.

[Andy Samberg]

And then they were calling that out,

[Akiva Schaffer]

shut the fuck up.

[Seth Meyers]

But then there's a really nice.

[Andy Samberg]

Sorry, you're not cultured, Andy. You're not going to get half of what Nic Cage is doing in Spider noir. You're not going to know any of it. Me and Seth are going to be like, got it, got it, got it, got it.

[Seth Meyers]

You're going to be like, got it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You're going to be like, what?

[Andy Samberg]

And you're both Ben Reilly. And that's the irony of it, by the way.

[Seth Meyers]

Did you see oh, my God, Jurassic Park? Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yep, I did.

[Seth Meyers]

Isn't it crazy that they could make an animal? Like just make a dinosaur from a little bit of bug DNA?

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's a documentary as far as I'm concerned.

[Andy Samberg]

So you're talking about the filmmakers?

[Seth Meyers]

Nope.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No, it's just like the documentary Jurassic

[Seth Meyers]

park crazy to me. It's crazy to me that they, first of all, that that documentary film crew just didn't bail.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

They must have been so scared.

[Seth Meyers]

They just stayed. They just stuck it out.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, my God. That's my TED Talk. I to come and talk about how brave the documentary crew of Jurassic park was.

[Seth Meyers]

Also, the guy who's just in the shitter with Newman from Seinfeld.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Right. Wait, what?

[Seth Meyers]

Just sitting there with, like, got him mic'd and everything.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, did you see we're talking about Ben Riley. Did you see J.K. simmons at the Mets game?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes. Did see that?

[Seth Meyers]

Really great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Did you see it, Keith?

[Andy Samberg]

I missed it? No. Why is he in favor?

[Seth Meyers]

J.K. simmons is at a Mets game and he's just sitting there and obviously they put him on the jump social media team. They put him on the Jumbotron and sitting behind him is a dude in a spider man costume reading the Daily Planet. And it's just.

[Andy Samberg]

So they spotted him and then said, oh, send Spider man in.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. And then he just plays it perfectly. He just goes full Jonah Jameson.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Jonah Jameson. Just super annoyed.

[Andy Samberg]

You can tell he sent something.

[Seth Meyers]

Spider Man.

[Andy Samberg]

Do you think that's Sony Press? Like they're doing it?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

And Spider man was just there. Is there a spider man that's just like. Just part of the. The Mets fabric?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Sounds right. You know who would know is Yoram. He's like a super Mets fan. Super fan. Because he wears the hat.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, that's probably.

[Andy Samberg]

By the way, Panini hat is a Mets hat.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

We should probably see if there's a Mets game right now because that would explain why he is. You know, he threw out the first

[Akiva Schaffer]

pitch because he's a super fan and he knows the names of all the

[Seth Meyers]

players and his phone's on silent right now because he doesn't like to even get a text during the Mets.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, he turns it off during the game.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He's doing his handwritten Box score as the game transpire.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, yeah. Okay, I'm looking.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I also watched Berlin Express, which is another one of those noirs. Keith.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, the other one. I recommended one of the other ones.

[Seth Meyers]

There's a great moment. And again, this is a real. Oh, my God, Akiva. But you can put it on set this time. There's, like, six characters on a train, and it's a crazy great pan along the train windows.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, it's what Wes Anderson clearly based, like, half of his things on.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. And you're just like a narrator telling you who everybody is.

[Andy Samberg]

And it's just with a great accent.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it's really great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Before we get to the short, Seth, you ever do lsd?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, of course.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Okay, let's go. Let's move on.

[Seth Meyers]

So a couple times, people will do this in the YouTube comments, where they will say the episode starts. Oh, they'll say. They'll start talking about the short here, and they'll timestamp it. So the. Oh, my God, Akiva was 27:34. And then we did a little bit more film noir stuff. And then somebody commented 3017. They start talking about the short here. This was party of Mr. Bernard's. And then underneath it, someone wrote, thanks, now I know where I can stop. And then in parentheses, it said, this short is offensive to me because it actually happened to my family.

[Andy Samberg]

These are good listeners.

[Seth Meyers]

Somebody listening. I'll Listen to party, Mr. Bernards. I like the banter up top, but that one hits too close to the bone.

[Akiva Schaffer]

By the way, one last thing. And then the show. I walked very far through the city last night. I walked very long through the city last night. Got a couple of Kuwait armies. 0gulp.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, well, they haven't watched.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh.

[Andy Samberg]

Because they haven't watched every episode and done double thumbs up.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Right.

[Andy Samberg]

It's not like anybody can just ask for one. They have to prove it to you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

But I guess what I'm saying is, like, why haven't they then? Would they watch it? Will they watch it?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, we need them to, right? Anyway, Quump Digman, guys. Netflix Quump Digman, please.

[Seth Meyers]

You get less practice than the rest of us. Andy, how do you feel like you are with Returning the Righteous Kill?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Pretty smooth. Yeah. Yeah. I'm always surprised when it happens, though.

[Seth Meyers]

Ah, it's a delight.

[Andy Samberg]

Like, likewise.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's just fun. It's a fun thing.

[Seth Meyers]

There are times where I get a real little skip in my step when I feel like I return it perfectly. Like I came out of my ATM the other day, and clearly a dude and a lady had stopped. They were walking dog, and they had stopped almost to, like, verify it had been me.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

And I came out and I didn't recognize him. But then as I turned and went the other way and then the guy sort of gave a tentative Quaid army, and I feel like I shot back a finger gun. Righteous killer. Like the coolest dude in New York City.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

You were Spider Man 3.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it was. I was real good. Real good.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Happy for you, man.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm happy you're walking around New York City like we miss you, bud.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, do you, though? Because you're nowhere to be found.

[Seth Meyers]

That's true. It's not really. I mean, rang a little hollow.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Three days off a week, and yet can't find a single time.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm off in my. I'm not walking around the streets of New York. I'm cruising in the Bentley.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, my God. Pick me up, brother.

[Seth Meyers]

Everything rings hollow in that car because of its giant interior.

[Andy Samberg]

Seth, getting down to some business here. We have a couple hanging chads, as you would say in a closer look. Yeah. Anne Hathaway episode had a horseplay we were going to look at.

[Seth Meyers]

I need to get some aloe for that burn.

[Andy Samberg]

You were doing closer looks back when the hanging chads went down.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I wore that. I was worth it. That I was. Oh, I would have teed off.

[Andy Samberg]

So horseplay. Zan Hathaway and then Jon Hamm had a Jeff Montgomery that never saw air. But we haven't. Otherwise, we are moving on to today, which was going to be Stumblin, which was a Paul Rudd. Paul McCartney double Paul episode.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's right.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, you know what? Horseplay's in the chat. Just to close that loop. Keev, why don't you screen share?

[Andy Samberg]

Okay. I gotta download some horseplayer.

[Seth Meyers]

And let's take a look at horseplay. And this was Andy. I forget, is this number two or number three?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't remember.

[Seth Meyers]

Kevin, if you can recall, is the first one.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Bunny business.

[Seth Meyers]

I think Bunny Business was one. This is horseplay number two. Gotcha. What's the third one? Did we come up with? Let me check that. Let's try to Andy. Now you wrote it. So what do you think it was? It wasn't monkey business.

[Andy Samberg]

No, Monkey Business is the weird Yoram Shylop of fake pitch work.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, well, confident that if Yoram was here, he would talk about it like he'd never discussed it on the pod before.

[Andy Samberg]

The monkey business. Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Ready? This fall Only one movie has kids galloping to theaters.

[Seth Meyers]

Get ready for Horseplay. It's a heartwarming film about a team of horses who wanted to play baseball.

[Andy Samberg]

Seen some cartoon horses by the soundtrack

[Seth Meyers]

featuring an original song by Randy Newman. Horses throwing beach.

[Andy Samberg]

It's the same as fighting business

[Seth Meyers]

numbers on his saddle.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's just horse play.

[Andy Samberg]

All right, that was Fred. For anybody not watching, I mean, for

[Seth Meyers]

anybody not watching, they were like, that was Randy Newman. Of course it is good to tell

[Andy Samberg]

him it's Fred, Co writer of Three Amigos.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, everybody listening? We're not gonna say till it's over who the actor was. You either try to guess.

[Andy Samberg]

You can guess at home. This played in the final slot of the night, the Five to One song.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Five to One.

[Seth Meyers]

Lauren kept saying it's too hot for earlier.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, it'll ruin the rest of the show.

[Seth Meyers]

Strap on your saddle and step up to the plate. With a soundtrack featuring an all new song by the seminal 90s band the Cranberries. With their balls and their bats and their cleats and their gloves on the field, on the field they are playing. Don't eat the field, eat the field.

[Andy Samberg]

They're a hard sell. Don't eat the field, don't eat the field.

[Seth Meyers]

Don't eat the field.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Don't eat the field is funnier, but don't eat the hay would have sounded better.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, but that's not what we want.

[Seth Meyers]

Also the fact that, I don't know, Wig doing the Cranberries is like her hundredth most remembered impression. And it's better than anything I could possibly do there.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's really good. Oh, Klein wrote me back. Doggy Duty was the third one.

[Seth Meyers]

Great. Tell him if he wants to jam in a quick voice note about Horseplay.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I already asked.

[Seth Meyers]

See how fast he can turn. What?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I already asked. I got three dots.

[Andy Samberg]

Did Donkey Duty air?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

Featuring a song by Alanis Morrison. And I'm here to remind you of that. You're left next to second best. It's not fair to play baseball when you got four legs. And we're having. The horses are going pro. Very, very good. That was Anne Hathaway as Alanis Morissette.

[Andy Samberg]

And she nailed all those little voice things.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. With a totally original song by the Cure frontman Robert Smith.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Marcy horses. Show me how you do that trick.

[Andy Samberg]

The one where you play baseball. The one where you steal second base and then eat.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh.

[Andy Samberg]

Got a little applause break for how hot you came in.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't know what to tell you.

[Seth Meyers]

It was great.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, say, show me how you do that. And they're like, yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

They're like, well, first off, so much love for Robert Smith and for that song. I think people were just excited to see it acknowledged. That's my theory.

[Andy Samberg]

You look great.

[Seth Meyers]

And then you also, you tip to boys don't cry by crying at the end of it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's right. Boys do cry. We know this.

[Andy Samberg]

And then a little bit of Grifbank.

[Seth Meyers]

Also the second song, second song that refers to the issue.

[Andy Samberg]

We called this Goth Griff Banks. Right?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Goth Griff. It's kind of a tone. Goth Griff, Goth Bank.

[Andy Samberg]

It's a tongue twister.

[Seth Meyers]

This is Griffith Banks nephew, Goth cousin.

[Akiva Schaffer]

But yes, Seth, thank you for noticing. Me and Rob Klein did meticulously play out a storyline that the horses keep eating the grass.

[Seth Meyers]

The issue more than anything is that they keep eating the grass.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's why you don't want to play in baseball.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, you want oats.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's right.

[Andy Samberg]

Learn [e-mail] studentoffer while supplies last ends June 30th terms at aka mscollegepc. The other thing, one just delicious restraint in how fast everybody comes in and gets out.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, I'm sure they were written double length at the table and then we cut them all down is my guess.

[Seth Meyers]

And I also credit you because this is, you know, sprung from the mind of you and Klein and you keep yours very short. I think you've always appreciated like once you've scored.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Like your second Robert Smith verse is only gonna make people see the differences.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's right.

[Seth Meyers]

But this gets out and you're like, that dude fucking got it. He got it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. I mean, not to self disparage too hard, but I've been told from a very young age that I am quote good in small doses by my parents.

[Seth Meyers]

It's almost as though you said to Klein, I've got a 15 second Robert Smith impression.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I wouldn't be scared.

[Seth Meyers]

And then you guys built. You literally built horseplay around that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, it probably truly was whatever the first one was. Who did I play in the first?

[Seth Meyers]

Duritz, Wasn't it? Was it?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah. It might have been Duritz.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. So, I mean, and I can't remember

[Akiva Schaffer]

if it was this one or Doggy Doody, but one of them. I did Morrissey at dress and then we switched it to something else and I can't remember what now.

[Seth Meyers]

Right, well, that we're finding out might

[Akiva Schaffer]

have been this one. I can't remember.

[Seth Meyers]

We're going to. We're going to find out and be happy about it when we do. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

All right.

[Seth Meyers]

But it gets better. Performing his song Horses Lament, it's Adam Lambert. Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Smile. The smile at the end.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Really good. That was today. Kiss for anybody.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm a baseball playing horsey if you try to ride me I'm gonna buck you I'm making dollars for this soundtrack

[Akiva Schaffer]

so get off of my back or

[Seth Meyers]

I' ma buck you and I'll buck her too. The Worst Place soundtrack. Get it today Just good times you know, I'm glad we ventured back.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's fun. It's a good old fashioned impression parade. Get the cast involved. Get the cast a couple chuckles. You're in.

[Seth Meyers]

And you're also the lower third on Sila. There was. It was Buck, you. And then Gwyneth Paltrow's song in Glee was how the song was described. Time stamp at the moment. Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't even remember what that's referencing.

[Seth Meyers]

Obviously, she's hanging on. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

My kids have revisited Glee. I mean, it was a first time visit, but they brought it back. In this house. They watched every ep, so I know what they're talking about.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Here's where we tell Seth to just cool off and not go on his Glee rant.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Are you sure? Because I'm ready to go. I mean, we could do Jeff Montgomery. We could do my Glee stuff.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, I just know that you have a lot of thoughts about it and that they're all show tune related and how you feel like it's not the pure uncut. They like homogenized it.

[Seth Meyers]

Made it for networking. I'm glad to know that I have proselytized this enough over the years that you can do it for me.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's right. When one has trod the boards as Seth Lee has.

[Seth Meyers]

Did you, Andy? Yeah. Were you excited? Because I got a voice note from Mike o' Brien who said he was listening to the pod and listening to you talk about how you cried watching Maverick and then you got an invitation to his birthday party.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's Top Gun Maverick themed.

[Seth Meyers]

So Michael Bryant had a birthday party that was.

[Andy Samberg]

It hasn't happened yet.

[Seth Meyers]

On Maverick theme. It hasn't happened yet.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And by the way, the description of it was so fucking funny. Like when you click through.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Oh, really? I didn't click through.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He's turning 50, comes celebrated in his yard with drinks and pizza. Also, it's Top Gun Maverick themed. So get ready to destroy an unsanctioned uranium enrichment plant in an unnamed foreign country. If we can get past the surface to air missiles, GPS jammers, and Admiral Cyclone Simpson's overbearing rules. Special guest at 8pm Street Parking Limited.

[Andy Samberg]

It's perfectly done.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, it's really nice. I asked if it was a costume party and said that I would like to dress as someone who is both frustrated by his inability to follow rules but also has to hand it to him. I'd like to dress up like one of those people. Just at the end of the day, I gotta give it up to Maverick.

[Andy Samberg]

Does Ham ever give it up for him.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah. They nod at each other after he buzzes the tower at the end.

[Seth Meyers]

Great.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes, yes. Thank you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's fresh in my mind.

[Andy Samberg]

If we're going back to Movie Corner for one second, I tried to start. There's a film that you'll know the title immediately because it was such a comedy title, which is k19, the widowmaker, but have you ever seen it?

[Seth Meyers]

That's Harrison Ford, right?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. So the two leads, it's Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson.

[Seth Meyers]

It's great.

[Andy Samberg]

And the director is Katherine Bigelow.

[Akiva Schaffer]

There you go. Wow.

[Andy Samberg]

Every person is playing Russian. It's about a Russian submarine. They're doing a good job, but it is immediately not the Harrison Ford you want to be with.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Right, right.

[Andy Samberg]

Because he's talking like a. Like a very stern submarine captain from Moscow. Yeah, yeah. Which is like, you want him as, like, put upon a husband and father who's had some sort of catastrophe that he's trying to avoid.

[Seth Meyers]

Huh.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't know if that's exactly how I would describe it.

[Andy Samberg]

That's not what you want your Harrison Ford. You don't want him frantic in the streets of Paris.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I have a title.

[Andy Samberg]

You don't want him playing a Patriot Game, though.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is a fun hit us in the Titus. I'm going to kick this off. K19 the Widowmaker reminds me of another movie title that we always would giggle about, which was Ballistic X versus Sever. Ballistic Colon. X versus Sever.

[Seth Meyers]

The Colon's the killer.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. But also X versus Sever makes it seem like you're supposed to be like, oh, shit, I know X and I know Severed, but I've never seen them fight before.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes. So anyway, the Titus hit us challenges. Are there other movie titles like that that are just crazy, convoluted?

[Andy Samberg]

Can I give you one right now?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, please do.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't know if it's convoluted, but it certainly was memorable. Which was Lucky number Slevin.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah. Lucky number Slevin. I don't think this is the same kind of thing.

[Andy Samberg]

No.

[Akiva Schaffer]

But, yes. You never forget Lucky number Slevin, which I bet they would have said when they were naming it. Like, you'll never forget it, though.

[Andy Samberg]

We never did.

[Seth Meyers]

The other thing about Ballistic X versus Sever is when you hear it, no one could be sure how to spell it. X. You know, ballistic, I think is a. Is a word that, like, you know, a lot of people might trip up on. Right. Not. That's not a gimme. But then X, which is C. K S. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

But I would assume it was the letter X. But I know it's not.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, real quick. Rotten tomato, 117 reviews. What is the Tomatometer for? X versus sever.

[Akiva Schaffer]

100%.

[Andy Samberg]

35.

[Seth Meyers]

0. No, 0%.

[Andy Samberg]

That's hard to do.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That can't be true.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. The popcorn meter, which is. That's 10,000 plus ratings. The popcorn meter is people, not critics. What is the popcorn meter?

[Akiva Schaffer]

100%.

[Seth Meyers]

0.

[Andy Samberg]

40.

[Seth Meyers]

21.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, it's hard to. And again, these are. These are people who've done great work.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. I don't want to celebrate this. This catastrophe.

[Seth Meyers]

Celebrating. I think that this is maybe. I bet even the people who worked on.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Do you think after it came out, everyone was like because of the title?

[Seth Meyers]

I think looking back, we should have

[Akiva Schaffer]

just called it Ballistic.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

That would have been enough.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We're gonna get to it. But in Doggy Duty, Kevin figured it out. Thank you, Kevin. I did indeed play Morrissey at dress rehearsal and switched to the lead singer of Spin Doctors on air. So when we get to that, we should try and dig up the dress as well.

[Andy Samberg]

Who were you in bunny business again?

[Seth Meyers]

Adam Duritz.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Adam Duritz. And I believe for that one it was we had talked about. Cause I kept trying to do the lead singer of Fine Young Cannibals as well.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, right.

[Seth Meyers]

I made you do him on Corrections.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You did?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah. Do you remember me trying to get an update feature on called Good Things?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. That's a good thing.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Just talking about things that happened that week that were good.

[Seth Meyers]

And now looking back, do you feel like that didn't air because Baze hates you?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes. Yes. Like triple down. Yes. Give me a break. So clearly should have been on TV. Especially since it was over 20 years since they had had a hot single, you know.

[Seth Meyers]

Totally. Well, good thing. Where have you gone?

[Andy Samberg]

Doo dooby doo.

[Seth Meyers]

Good thing. Real quick, did you get a voice note from Klein, Andy?

[Akiva Schaffer]

No.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay. He's just three dotting you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, here's what happened. I said, about to discuss horseplay. Send voice note immediately. He said, sick as a dog and decorating for my child's birthday Might not have it in me. I said, do a bad one. Say you're sick and don't want to do it. And then he said, who's host? And I said, hathaway. And then I got three dots and now radio silence.

[Andy Samberg]

He's probably re recording. He thought of a bit.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. All right.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't know.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't know. Here's the thing about Jeff Montgomery, if you guys remember.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Jeff Montgomery aired with Jon Hamm, and it was about a registered sex offender on Halloween who was trying to pass off that he was dressed as a registered sex offender for Halloween. This was his way of trying to fulfill his court ordered obligation to let his new neighbors know that he was just registered sex offender. This is already on the line of what you can get away with. It was a perfect sketch.

[Andy Samberg]

It was miraculous that it got away with it and it had to be perfect to do it, which it was. Ham was the guy at the door answering. And Forte, of course, was Jeff Montgomery.

[Seth Meyers]

This was Jost and Forte at their finest. Solomon involved. And I gotta be honest, looking back, I think they should have walked away and been like, we wrote the perfect sketch. I did not at the time think that Jeff Montgomery was going to be a recurring character. And yet they tried to run it back. And I have no memory of this except knowing that if memory serves, it was not close to making the show.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Here is a Twix for you, little Snooki. And for you, Mr. Situation. And Almond Joy.

[Seth Meyers]

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Peterson.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Happy Halloween.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, they know it just on seeing that him show up.

[Seth Meyers]

So far, Forte's right, I'm wrong.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Excuse me. Excuse you? Okay, you're excused. But I'll have to see a note from your doctor.

[Seth Meyers]

Doctor, I hardly knew her. What?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Do I know you?

[Seth Meyers]

Do you know Hugh? You gotta be more specific. There are a lot of Hughes out there. Hugh Hefner, Hugh Grant, Hugh G. Rexen. Hey, you get your mind out of the gutter. Gutter. I hardly knew her. What? Seriously, though, trick or treat.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait a second. Yeah, I remember you. You came to my house last Halloween. That's right.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm Jeff Montgomery.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You remember my costume? Yes, I remember your costume. I was a sex offender.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And I remember as part of your costume, you tried to get me to sign a form saying I was aware a sex offender was moving into the neighborhood.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it's a pretty convincing costume, huh?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, very convincing.

[Seth Meyers]

I've been a sex offender for the last five Halloweens.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What were you before that?

[Seth Meyers]

Married. Good night, Joe.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm sorry, okay? You're right.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The sex offender costume, and it was a costume, was in very bad taste.

[Seth Meyers]

Look, all I was trying to do was to make some new friends, but

[Akiva Schaffer]

I guess I just have an awkward sense of humor.

[Seth Meyers]

Can you find it in your heart

[Akiva Schaffer]

to forgive a neighbor? Look, you promise you are not a sex offender? You have My word.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, what the hell.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I have a pretty strange sense of humor, too. Snickers.

[Seth Meyers]

I'd like that.

[Andy Samberg]

I'd really like that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So what is your costume this year?

[Seth Meyers]

I am a repeat sex offender. It basically turns into the film Happiness.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Did it air?

[Andy Samberg]

No.

[Seth Meyers]

No.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, okay.

[Andy Samberg]

It's kind of killing for some of it.

[Seth Meyers]

It is kind of killing.

[Andy Samberg]

But it does feel like that delicate little line is getting.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No, it goes way past what it's allowed to go past.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't know what of that. We. So can we play any of that on our thing, like the beginning and then ask if it's okay with Forte and Solomon?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, it's pretty. That's pretty gnarly.

[Andy Samberg]

And no video. But the first. The first five minutes. The first minute is fine. Then we'll just stop the thing and then play all of this, and then they'll understand why.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

And it'll be our dirty little secret.

[Seth Meyers]

All right.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, Seth, anything else about Berlin Express? I mean, it has some pretty good turnarounds and everybody. All that. Well, here's. All right, so, Seth, seriously, let's talk about Berlin Express for a sec. What's cool about it is it's shooting in right after World War II in. Not in Berlin, but in. Where are they? Frankfurt or something?

[Seth Meyers]

Frankfurt, like a bombed out.

[Andy Samberg]

And it's crazy because it takes place in, let's say, 1948. And they shot in 1947. 1948. So you can't believe how it looks. It's just real. And it's so intense being like, you guys are just in a bombed out city and all this stuff with, like, trading cigarettes as money because money's meaningless now. It's all very cool.

[Seth Meyers]

Also, the characters, you realize that. I mean, again, because it was made in that presentation that people, even people who lived through the war, could not believe when they saw cities that were that bombed out.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Just immediately. Cause who can.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, they're just like, whoa.

[Andy Samberg]

Obviously that director that has a French name. So I don't want to say it because I'll sound terrible. But who did out of the Past and Burling Express and then he did a lot of other ones. It's just the third of the one that they grouped together.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, the craziest thing is, you know what the third one's called?

[Andy Samberg]

Nightfall.

[Seth Meyers]

Doggy Doody.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Doggy Doody.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, Doggy Duty.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I felt it coming.

[Andy Samberg]

That's always the third. It's X for Sever and then X for Sever two and then Dog.

[Seth Meyers]

It was either Return of The Jedi or Doggy Duty. I read something that Denis Villeneuve is just still really mad about the Ewoks in real life.

[Andy Samberg]

He's like, why'd you put something cute in there?

[Seth Meyers]

These movies are like. This is. It was like. Yeah, it was a great. It was great. First two were amazing, and then it became, like, kid stuff. Interesting.

[Andy Samberg]

Wrong.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, I guess I was a kid, so I loved it. And I flipped on Return of the Jedi on cable a couple nights ago and was loving them. He walks.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

But is that how people that were younger when the prequels came out feel about Jar Jar?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. I think they were fine with it,

[Andy Samberg]

but they're all kid stuff.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, that's, I think, totally fine. Daniya's a little bit old enough. Older than you. Enough, Andy, to have a different take on Ewoks.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Seth, Fuck, Marry, Kill Jar Jar Wicket, the main Ewok and the guy who speaks on behalf of Jabba the Hutt with, like, the squid hair.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, man, this is tough.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, you can't say fuck all three, which is. I know what you want to say.

[Seth Meyers]

So I think you fucked the Ewok. I don't know. I do want to know. For the visual joke, here is my. My wife literally walked behind me.

[Andy Samberg]

She did.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It was so great.

[Seth Meyers]

As I said, fuck the Ewok. I think you gotta kill the. You gotta kill the Jabba Trans.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, the squid head. Yeah. Of course. That'd be the first thing I'd know to do.

[Seth Meyers]

And then you marry Jar Jar for the laughs.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Beautiful.

[Seth Meyers]

And the loyalty for the. I mean, I think that, like, long marriages. And again, I also think if this becomes a relationship podcast, it'll shoot up the charts.

[Akiva Schaffer]

How did I forget the name Bib Fortuna? I had the action figure.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Bib Fortuna. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

I looked.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I googled Jabba's assistant name,

[Seth Meyers]

his executive assistant. Now, do you think Jabba today is just using AI for most of the stuff Bib did?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, my God.

[Andy Samberg]

Bib was one of the first casualties of Claude, you know? Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Andy, as Jabba the Hut. Do your best job of the Hut. Telling Bib Fortuna that he's replacing him with Claude.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, well, he doesn't speak English.

[Seth Meyers]

I know. Just. I'm not gonna. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm going with AI. That was the best I got.

[Seth Meyers]

So did we know when we started calling Jeremy Allen Whitebody Job, did we know he was gonna play a fucking son of Job?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Another spoiler. But I did hear about that one.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't think we knew.

[Seth Meyers]

No, that's crazy. I mean, what is his name in it? Jeremy the Hutt. Mm.

[Andy Samberg]

Jeremy the Hutt.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't think it's a spoiler that he's in Mandalorian.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I saw the Mandalorian Grogu movie. Why was the Hutt kept calling everyone cousin.

[Andy Samberg]

Does he? He's like, hey, ho, hey, cousin.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Cousin. I gotta pick up on table three. Cousin. They started singing Springsteen tunes.

[Seth Meyers]

Cousin.

[Akiva Schaffer]

All right, I got a Nebraska Young Skywalker.

[Seth Meyers]

86 on the beef. All right, I gotta go.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't.

[Andy Samberg]

This is an episode. Do we think.

[Seth Meyers]

Why do you think it's not?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, it's not because we haven't done.

[Seth Meyers]

Take it away.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Jack Black.

[Seth Meyers]

Spelling bee. Spelling bee.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Two hints. I got queen bee with two hints.

[Seth Meyers]

Not the beef.

[Akiva Schaffer]

But here's what I'm gonna say. Yeah. I don't have any shame about the two hints today. Because it was fucking so many words.

[Seth Meyers]

It was so many words.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It was.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm still not even there.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It was 63 words. My last two words. Are you still doing it? Yeah, but you're not gonna get it. Can I say that?

[Seth Meyers]

No. Go to the last two. I'll be honest if I have yours. What were they?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Volant and novation.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, I didn't have either of those.

[Andy Samberg]

What's novation? Is that what Jeff Montgomery gets at the end

[Akiva Schaffer]

of the second one?

[Andy Samberg]

It actually did get a good ovation. So to be fair.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So he got a reveal ovation and then a novation at the end.

[Seth Meyers]

Everyone's at.

[Andy Samberg]

It's not actually true. They clapped heartily at the end. So it was an unfair hit.

[Seth Meyers]

That's cause we said Happy Halloween to them. What?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I did get Quibi. Last two days.

[Seth Meyers]

Don't care if it's not a pod day. It doesn't count. God damn it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

But it means a lot to me.

[Seth Meyers]

That was cold.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That was all proud.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm gonna break a little news here. Maybe put this on deadline. I've gotta go. By the way, Yoram just texted that he was unclear with his assistant. He could never make today.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, but we knew. I think I knew that. That's probably. I don't think he was unclear. That's why it wasn't in my calendar.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Do you know who his assistant is?

[Seth Meyers]

I do. Bib Fortuna.

[Andy Samberg]

And they share it him in Java. And that's why things get kind of mixed. It's probably on Java's calendar right now.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, it's like an Uber ride share. Um.

[Andy Samberg]

All right, well, I'll let you know what movies I've watched next week. I'm going to watch a pretty good one in three hours. I'll let you know what it was next week. Pretty excited. We'll see if it's pretty good.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna apologize to the Quaid's, because maybe this was interesting. And on that note, love you guys.

[Andy Samberg]

All right. Love you.

[Seth Meyers]

Love you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wow, Seth. Really fucking meaningful. Asshole.

[Seth Meyers]

I just gotta go.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Are you still recording? No, we're not done.

[Seth Meyers]

I stopped recording. Maybe you can hear me on the zoom.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Seth. Seth. I love you.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm. I love you, too. But you know who's loving me less every day? My fucking beautiful wife, who just heard me say that I'd fucking Ewok.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, then maybe stop going on the road with Brooks, you lunatic. All right. Love you guys.

[Seth Meyers]

Love you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Later, Arnold. Later, Quaids. Later, Ghostface.

[Andy Samberg]

Later, Quaids.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Later, Quaido.

[Andy Samberg]

Later, Quaids.
