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

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.

Special Context: The group (minus Jorma Taccone, absent) gathers for a relaxed, open-ended conversation covering SNL behind-the-scenes stories, dormant sketch ideas, comedy process, movie rabbit holes, and the ongoing life of SNL digital shorts. This episode is particularly informal, eccentric, and rich in insider friendship banter.
This episode is steeped in nostalgia, improv banter, and inside SNL/lonely island lore. The podcast veers between:
If you enjoy:
This episode is a quintessential “hangout” cut—celebrating the randomness and enduring love of comedy collaboration, with nods to the joys and absurdities of sketch creation, pop culture, and persistent friendship.
Skip the ads, lean into the banter, and bring a vague memory of early-2000s SNL. The best parts are the quick-witted chemistry and open-ended storytelling—think “comedy writers’ room meets group hang.”
