Seth Meyers
Well, it's the Lonely island and Seth Meyers podcast.
Kristen Wiig
I've been recording.
Yoram
Yeah, we're recording.
Kristen Wiig
I just feel like I am rolling now. I just feel like everything I. Everything I say is gold.
Yoram
You know, I don't know what Greg Chun intro they're playing now, but the one from last week that I only heard after, you know, we record the episode, we don't hear it. And then I heard it where it was like the.
Kristen Wiig
It was really good.
Yoram
Magellan Brothers.
Seth Meyers
It was exceptional.
Yoram
It was really good.
Seth Meyers
Can I say. And you guys, you guys know Greg better than me. I'm going to read a comment and you can tell me if this is something that you guys knew about Greg. Somebody wrote. It blows my mind that Greg Chun, the English voice actor for many great Japanese video games, has had such a long relationship with the boys. I wonder if they've played any of the video games he stars in. Did you know that detail about Greg Chun?
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, he does so much voiceover work. I believe he is also one of the main characters in Squid Game. Yeah.
Yoram
If you listen to Squid Game dubbed. If you watch. Sorry. If you watch. Well, I guess you would be listening. Technically.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, we're gonna let you have it.
Yoram
But if you watch it and listen to the dubbed version, then he is the main dude.
Seth Meyers
That was a delight. His song also Take it away Arnold. And getting Arnold to sing got a real belly laugh for me.
Yoram
Yeah, we're not AI guys, but I just. We needed it and I. No, no, he really sang that. That was on an old Carson Tonight Show.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. So let's make sure because I do feel like there was a fear that somebody had AI'd Schwarzenegger singing that song. That was not the case.
Yoram
No, I googled Schwarzenegger singing. No AI Real deal that came up.
Seth Meyers
But you did ask chatgpt to find it.
Yoram
Yeah, of course. Google's busted.
Seth Meyers
Google's busted. That was fantastic. Um, wait, I have some things to say. First of all, I also got caught off guard by Jonah's wonderful message and A lot of the Quaids were delighted. A lot of the Quaids are like, I can't believe those two dudes did not see the Chappelle show mention coming. I saw it from a mile away, but I really did.
Kristen Wiig
I feel like such a sucker every single time. Cause I really. It really. It's just that he's so good at the red herring.
Seth Meyers
He's so good at the red herring.
Yoram
There is a Mexican restaurant in Tarzana, and it got my brain just spinning trying to remember its name. And it was really good. But I don't know if we ever went with Jonah. And I was, like, trying to have a memory of that. He really sent me down a path.
Seth Meyers
And me knowing you guys, I could see you up talking a Mexican restaurant near your house.
Yoram
Yeah, of course.
Seth Meyers
And so my immediately was like, I don't remember. They never took me to one of the Tarzana Mexican restaurants. And then, I mean, also, just men in tights is still the funniest in to Chappelle.
Andy Samberg
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
I like, by the way, you guys made a comment about I don't even know who the song was by. We like sports, where you do your dog faces and you say that's a reference to something.
Yoram
Or mad dog faces.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, yeah.
Yoram
Super Thug by Noriega.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. And there's this really funny thing for me, as somebody who is a fan of rap music, when you're like, we have deep cuts. I mean, they're not that deep, but they're deeper than most.
Yoram
That one's not that deep. That was a big one.
Kristen Wiig
No, that one's pretty basic.
Seth Meyers
I know, but you guys, you're so anti. Coming off as posers. And I like, every time you walk back, like, no, no, I know. The real ones know this one. The real ones?
Yoram
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Seth Meyers
You don't ever want to get caught.
Yoram
Yeah, well, we don't want to. Yeah. If we're like, this is super underground.
Seth Meyers
This is super deep.
Yoram
Right. Somebody would be like, that's not. That was on the radio all the time.
Seth Meyers
This is more my notes on listening to the wonderful. We like sports.
Kristen Wiig
Thanks.
Seth Meyers
I really like the line, Keev. You say you like whiskey, and Yoram thinks it's bitter. And then it's like the opposite of a yes.
Yoram
No, no, no, no, no. I just say, you think it's bitter. I don't think I'm talking to Yoram. I think I'm talking to the listener.
Seth Meyers
Yes, I understand. I always. Okay, right, so you guys are never really talking to each other. The. You.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah.
Yoram
The you is the listener is. Is those people at home that don't know what it's like to be a real one.
Kristen Wiig
The proverbial you.
Yoram
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
The most revealing moment that you guys are actually just the we like sports guys is when Yorm immediately can't remember the right way to say throw the pigstin. Like in the podcast. Yoram's like, I love have the pig like you just immediately stumble on.
Kristen Wiig
Well, speaking. Speaking of that, though, and me not actually being a sports guy, when Keev kind of started actually watch baseball, it hurt. Genuinely. I was like. I was like, wait, is there only one? Is there only guy? Guy number two is holding it down.
Yoram
Well, I've stopped. I've stopped. Yeah. I did have a good. When my kids were young and I'd be in the house all day, I was like, sports is so good to have on. Because I remember it being kind of a comforting sound in my house.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, totally.
Yoram
It's not going to scare them. And you don't have to be paying attention to a story. So all of a sudden I was like, oh, my God, I'm going to have A's games on all the time. And the warriors were on that historic run.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah.
Yoram
So I did get it back to my childhood.
Kristen Wiig
Did your dads do this where they liked the local radio guy better, so you would watch the game, but he'd do the sound off and then have the radio announcers instead?
Yoram
Yeah.
Kristen Wiig
And that was too both our dad.
Yoram
That must be just something from their generation. Cause my dad definitely did that with the A's.
Kristen Wiig
They were good, though. The A's announcers were better on the radio.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. There is that thing about mean all day where you talk about when my team loses. I mean, all day. This is my. This is why I went the other way when I had kids, Keev, and didn't have the game on all the time. Like right before I care too much.
Yoram
For me, it was just background noise. And for you, you'd be there being like, oh, come on, you fucking idiots.
Seth Meyers
And the kids are like, we were. And I think maybe even Ash was a baby and Alexi had just put him down. I remember. I remember the game. It was the Steelers, Cowboys, regular season game, like, whatever. 11 years old.
Yoram
He was a real sports guy.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
And the Steelers, it looked like they pulled off this incredible comeback victory with like 45 seconds left. And then the Cowboys drove down on one. And it was one of those things where, like, Alexi would say, I threw the iPad. My recollection is I swiped it off the table because I was watching it on the iPad and I just. So it did. You know what? I'm going to let her be correct on this. And it hit the ground and she was very taken aback. And I remember the next day she's like, I'm not okay with that.
Kristen Wiig
It's so much worse when it's the next day.
Seth Meyers
And I'm not okay with that being a thing that I'm worried is going to happen when our kids are around that something will happen that will make you. And I was like, uh huh, yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right.
Kristen Wiig
It's so much worse when she thought about it for a day and was like, you know, it was painful for her for 24 hours.
Yoram
How do I approach this without making him even more angry?
Seth Meyers
Well, I want to give her credit and I really appreciate that she gave a full 12 hours to figure out if she was okay with it.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah.
Yoram
You know what I mean?
Seth Meyers
She's like, am I okay with that?
Yoram
And to let you cool down.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, well, exactly. Mean all day. I had a flashback as well for you guys talking about your air conditioner in Tarzana. That was my attic shows during COVID
Yoram
The Mexican season in Tarzana. Sorry, but go ahead.
Seth Meyers
Oh, the Mexican restaurant.
Kristen Wiig
Is that how you did your show during COVID You had to like turn it on and then.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, so it was. We were in the attic, middle of summer.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
So heat rises so hot. And I would have to like record. I would turn off the AC to do like a closer look, top to bottom, like 12 minutes. And by the end I'd be drenched.
Yoram
That room looks hot. I can picture it in my head. And I'm like, oh, everything is collecting up there.
Kristen Wiig
How great though? How great of an experience to remember that though.
Seth Meyers
Like.
Yoram
Right?
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Kristen Wiig
Isn't that great?
Seth Meyers
And then we had a day where Ethan Hawke was. I figured out during COVID was our neighbor. And I remember one day I was like, hey, do you want to like, do a bit where you're like in the closet behind me during a closer look and you just pop your head out and I don't even notice. I remember that. And I kept flubbing and he came out and again. So imagine how he must have. And now he's in a closet and he's wearing a mask and he's drenched. He's like, buddy, I think I only got one more in me.
Yoram
This is a guy that memorizes all of Blue Moon, you know, and he's
Seth Meyers
a workaholic, this guy. Has been through the wringer like a pro.
Yoram
You're taking me to my limit. Wait, should we specify that Andy's not here? He's not just super quiet doing spelling bee.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. So Andy. And by the way, this was around Andy's availability?
Kristen Wiig
Yes.
Yoram
He's east coast right now. Yeah, but that means. So it's not that early for me. It's nine in the morning. Yeah, but he has a cold.
Seth Meyers
Andy's shooting a movie.
Yoram
Yes. Yeah, a second movie.
Seth Meyers
So he has a very early start tomorrow. I want to give Andius grace.
Yoram
Yeah, but it is interesting that we scheduled it around him and then he's the only one not on it. But I'm assuming he's asleep.
Seth Meyers
Well, I will say, unless he's sound asleep, a courtesy text would have been, I think, somewhere in the realm of.
Yoram
Yeah, he wouldn't just blow it off.
Kristen Wiig
He must really have a cold.
Seth Meyers
So I'm kind of hoping he's.
Yoram
Yeah. Because he is fighting a cold and has to be on camera again tomorrow.
Seth Meyers
I'm sure I've said it before that Amy Poehler used to call him Lil Slugger. Cause he was always like, how you feeling, Lil Slugger? Yeah. Yeah, he was always a little slugger. Was always a little under the weather. So this might be a little Slugger Sunday.
Yoram
But the topic today is party at Mr. Bernard's. But we held it last week because we didn't have Andy because it's such an Andy centric and it's me and Andy, and you weren't even there. Arms.
Kristen Wiig
No, no, no. So I don't. I don't know if we.
Yoram
So I don't know that we should even do it without him. So, I mean, we're. How long we can bullshit. So keep going.
Seth Meyers
I'm feeling good. Look, I'm not even halfway through my bullshit list.
Yoram
Okay, well, then maybe you take that. We'll take that out potentially, and not name it.
Seth Meyers
That. I think it's good. I think we can name what we're doing. Okay, maybe don't call it a bullshit list. Maybe call it something.
Yoram
That's what I mean. So maybe we can just talk about other things that are more pressing than
Seth Meyers
the short bullet items on my bullshit list.
Yoram
Yeah, like I watched Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves this week, but I watched the extended version, and there were 12 minutes. It was like going back in time to learn so much more about Alan Rickman's Nottingham guy. Cher.
Seth Meyers
I have a theory that there's a moment where Alan Rickman. Sighs I haven't watched it. Since I think I saw it in the theater.
Yoram
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
Like he has a moment where he sighs because he realizes Robin Hood's not dead.
Yoram
Sure.
Seth Meyers
And it's one of the funniest movies from like a dramatic villain where it's just like. I feel like villains don't have that moment enough where they're just like.
Yoram
Well, he's the. And he's the master of it. I mean, it's Hans Gruber, but he's got huge 90s hair.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Yoram
That is so rad. And he. All the scenes shot of Robin Hood and out in the forest are shot. Very traditional, beautiful photography. And every time it goes to Alan Rickman in his castle. It's super. Like Terry Gilliam wide angle handheld. So it has like this kind of 12 monkeys, I'm an insane person in an insane place vibe.
Kristen Wiig
Shit, I gotta see this again.
Yoram
Yeah. Anyways, it's a new film. Robin Hood, Men and Tights of Thieves. Check it out. It's hard not to say Men and tights every time. That's. That's how effective that title was.
Seth Meyers
Wait, I have a question though, for you. Who directed it?
Yoram
That guy. His name is Kevin Reynolds, I believe not Kevin Costner. Got it. But I think if you talk to someone who worked on the movie, I may have some insider info that I don't want to spill. Kevin Costner was a pretty. Pretty bossy. A bossy bottom, I think, is what they call when it's your lead actor and he's actually directing the mov from under you.
Seth Meyers
Wait, I have two more things from my. Listen. One, I was an actual cul de sac kid. But before you judge me is like living. Living the high life how I picture you. I was a cul de sac at the top of a hill. So it was actually a terrible place to play sports because there was just enough incline down.
Yoram
Were you the end of the cul de sac and it was the top of the hill. Like it.
Seth Meyers
Like so top of the hill. And then there was a cul de sac. So there were like four houses ringing it. But like we had a basketball hoop and like, it would just rebound. The balls would start to roll. Yeah. So, yeah, it was a rough life.
Kristen Wiig
I mean, you're kind of. You're kind of cul de sac right now.
Yoram
Yeah, technically my kids are cul de sac kids. My street is cul de sac here in la. There's just no other children on the street. So there's no joy to it. Except for that there's not a lot of traffic. So it doesn't really have that feeling as much.
Seth Meyers
We were kid heavy cul de sac. That was good. And then guy number one. Guy number two had a has a real cat in the hat feel to it. That was my other observation.
Yoram
Oh, like thing one, thing two.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. And then they're really kind of cat in the hat. Y ly as well. Like the rhyme structure is right. Cat in the hat.
Yoram
Yeah. There's some Dr. Seuss.
Kristen Wiig
I did not think about that. Yeah, I suppose it is.
Yoram
Well, we missed you, Seth. We know you had done all your prep.
Seth Meyers
I tried to do my prep. Hey, the ALF TV official YouTube comment or whatever. The ALPH TV official account.
Yoram
Someone who has the ALF ALF TV
Seth Meyers
official left the comment verified ALPH account. Yeah. And they wrote, heard you guys want to watch my pilot. Great taste. I mean, obviously, check it out right here on the Alf official YouTube channel. Pilot Alf original broadcast full episode season one, episode one. You're welcome.
Yoram
From the perspective of Alf. Alf wrote that comment, by the way. He said my pilot.
Seth Meyers
My pilot. And just to hammer it home. The last comment, Keev. Or the last sentences. Now if you'll excuse me. Lucky isn't going to chase himself. Oh, shit.
Yoram
He left to go chase the cat. So the world of ALF is still happening. That's really encouraging.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, it's very encouraging. I didn't even think about how encouraging it was.
Kristen Wiig
I'm surprised there wasn't like a parliament alf, you know, crossover thing. You know what I mean?
Yoram
Yeah, well, we're going to do that, so thank you, alf. I'm not going to click your link quite yet because I'm saving it for when we do a whole episode. But shout out to alf.
Seth Meyers
Thank you, alf. Glad to hear you're still kicking and haven't gone back to melmac. Oh. Although I think we've established melmac maybe blew up and so we can't go back to melmac. Some people in the comments were like, hey, man, that's actually very insensitive to say go back to melmac.
Kristen Wiig
Oh, right.
Seth Meyers
That's true.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah.
Yoram
If it even existed. If it wasn't just the plates.
Kristen Wiig
Right.
Yoram
If it wasn't, that seems pretty convenient. He's like, oh. They're like, well, why don't we go visit Alvin?
Seth Meyers
He's like, whoa, whoa. I keep forgetting. He's.
Yoram
It blew up. It blew up, dude, we can't.
Seth Meyers
Oh, Keev. A lot of people were wondering and it's maybe just me. I haven't watched yet. Did Will Ferrell do Mugless last night? Oh, I mean, he hosted again. It was a season finale when you submitted mugless and it went to dress and I'm wondering.
Yoram
Oh, you said Keev. You meant Yorm.
Seth Meyers
Oh, sorry. Yorm. Yeah. Geez Louise, I should have sent it
Kristen Wiig
in like, I blew it.
Seth Meyers
Well, I mean, resubmit.
Yoram
You should have secretly resubmitted. Got Kenward to put it in the
Kristen Wiig
table reading, oh, my God, blew it next time.
Yoram
Yeah, I haven't watched last night either. Yeah, I'm gonna maybe never watch and just assume he did it and it went to air and it went.
Seth Meyers
Assume he did mug that Maybe it was. But then because McCartney was hosting. McCartney played the Abby Elliott part. He was the one who got his mug stolen. Oh, yeah, let's none of us watch it. And Yorm, that'll be the happy ending. He was like, hey, where's my. I can't find my mug.
Kristen Wiig
Has anyone seen it? By the way, somebody made me a really nice mug that says mugless.
Seth Meyers
Oh, that's nice. Somebody in the comments said, somebody needs to start a dictionary for this podcast. And then a Quaid wrote, if you go to the show subreddit, someone keeps an up to date dictionary. It's a pinned post.
Yoram
So, yeah, we saw that a few months ago and I was delighted somebody texted me the link to that determination.
Kristen Wiig
How many times do we have so far on there?
Yoram
We should put that in the show notes. This wonderful dictionary that really, whoever's writing it is funny though. There was like, funny way. Did you flip through it ever since I looked at it yet there's like, I forget it was months ago, but there was the way he was describing certain things or she was making me laugh.
Seth Meyers
What's the name of the arcade? Oh, what was that?
Yoram
Yeah. Oh, yeah. How did your thing go? Didn't you have an entire poll? You did Daiquiri girl versus what was that?
Seth Meyers
Maybe Jeff knows the answer. Jeff, do you know the answer?
Yoram
Do you have the finals of that poll?
Andy Samberg
Last time I checked, it was 50. 50.
Seth Meyers
Let me check right now. Oh, wait. Jeff actually sent it to me. And Jeff maybe thought the Quaids were doing that on purpose, like every Quaid who went to vote.
Yoram
You think they're that organized?
Seth Meyers
They might be. I mean, they're an army.
Yoram
Oh, that's.
Seth Meyers
They are an army.
Kristen Wiig
An army of conflict.
Yoram
Oh, wow. So the lonely island in Seth Meyer's dictionary has a. An eggplant emoji for the word dick in dictionary. It's an eggplant emoji. Oh, wow.
Kristen Wiig
This is really well done.
Yoram
Yeah, it's got graphics. Am, PM situation, of course, starts with an A. It's first.
Kristen Wiig
There's a lot of terms and golden.
Yoram
Wow. This is. This is good.
Kristen Wiig
That's great.
Seth Meyers
Oh, my God.
Yoram
The two bad hang. When Amy Puller, host of the podcast Good Hang, attempts to sabotage another podcast with a lackluster contribution, that's called a bad.
Seth Meyers
A bad hang.
Yoram
Yeah, that's a bad hang. She's bad hanging us. That was a quote from episode 104.
Kristen Wiig
This is really good.
Yoram
Here's. But Jason. Oh, well, I have a comment for.
Kristen Wiig
Who wrote.
Yoram
Who made this? Whoever made this. Oh, yeah. Nick Ricardo.
Kristen Wiig
Thank you, Nick.
Yoram
Nick Ricardo. I have a comment. You wrote bad adjacent for abbreviation of B adjacent.
Kristen Wiig
Yes.
Yoram
Bjacent. I would argue that it's probably ba. Apostrophe Jason.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, okay.
Yoram
Like bjacent.
Seth Meyers
I'm almost certain he's listening. And also, just a genuine thank you, Nick.
Yoram
This feels thorough and in a really nice way.
Kristen Wiig
I love that Breakfast defector is on here.
Yoram
Bbs an abbreviation for. Yeah, this is Justin Thorough Breakfast Effecter.
Kristen Wiig
Dem Cliff.
Yoram
Crumb. Bum, Quump. But we did say crumb bump.
Kristen Wiig
Bump.
Yoram
But he understood that that would be the quump bump involves the bump. So it'd be.
Seth Meyers
Somebody signed off on a comment on YouTube with party on quain. I approve. Oh, I said Jensen Ackles was the actor on the Boys who said, Cool it, MacGruber. It was Jared Padlecki. And then he plays a character named Soldier Boy, who, as a play on Captain America, was frozen for years. And so again, his line was cool at MacGruber. Right. Someone said, take a second to realize how funny it is that Soldier Boy was frozen for years. And then when he got defrosted, he decided to watch MacGruber. Somebody told him he was frozen when MacGruber came out, and he got thought out. And they were like, you got to see McGrew. You know that.
Yoram
That scene in Austin Powers where they're filling him in and he sits there and he watches all the news of the last. They put together a clip to, like, get him up to speed, and he has to watch everything, and he can't believe how much the world has changed. Somebody put that together for him and was like, here are the important things for you to see. Yeah. They're like, here's like, footage of 9, 11. The Berlin Wall came down while you were frozen. And here is the film MacGruber.
Kristen Wiig
It's like the Fifth Element when she has to ingest all of the pain of, you know, everything that's ever been.
Yoram
Yeah. A moment that you brought up more than once. You must have had a. Oh, I love it.
Kristen Wiig
I love it. Just the single tier.
Yoram
Are there. Wait, eight. So 85. About 85. 8,400 people voted on Daiquiri Girl verse. What was that? And it still came out 50.
Seth Meyers
58, by the way, an odd number. 8405. So it. Somebody won. But like YouTube is.
Yoram
It's a rounding error. Will you put the link in for that? Because are there comments under the poll
Seth Meyers
while he's doing that? Here's another one. You guys were talking about the font issue in We Like Sports, how the font changed, and somebody pointed out, like a font changing without your knowledge is a bit chaotic. Almost feels like a prankster type move. They referred to it as a Tim Oliphant. Oh, that's when your font just fucks up.
Yoram
Cause he's a prankster.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, he's just a fucking. He a Loki. He's a little Loki.
Yoram
Yeah, he's a real Loki. A merry prankster.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. Somebody else read. Hearing Jonah Hill call you guys two Michelangelos made me realize that another good name for the pod is Three Michelangelos and Splinter. I do not care for that.
Yoram
I like that. That person's. He was referring to the painter. But they went to Ninja Turtle immediately.
Seth Meyers
They immediately went to Ninja Turtle.
Yoram
I also like Jonah pronouncing Michelangelo, which was. I really appreciated.
Seth Meyers
Hey, so we were talking about one of the problems about. What was that? That's the name of it, right? Is that it was just, like, too much of a bummer to talk about bummer things.
Kristen Wiig
Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. Doesn't help it.
Seth Meyers
So Mike Scher wrote in. Well, he wrote into Andy and I the first time Jack Black hosted Higgins and I and others. Question Mark wrote him and Kyle from Tenacious D an update feature where he brought up whatever awful thing was happening in the world or whatever, and said that the politics of the region were really confusing. And they had written a song to help everyone understand what was happening. Then Kyle played a cat. Classic Tenacious D Driving, strumming beat. And Jack just kept singing, Hornet's Nest. Hornet's Nest. The Middle east is such a fricking hornet's. Nest. And then it was like a call and response where he would call out to the audience, like, Middle East. And they'd all call back, hornet's Nest.
Yoram
I do vaguely remember that now.
Seth Meyers
And he then wrote. It went over exactly like your digital short. Like, I bet if audio technicians measured the decibel level in the studio for those two performances, it would be identical. So it aired because I think Andy wrote back that he remembered it as well.
Yoram
Yeah, I do vaguely remember that.
Seth Meyers
This is exactly what's going on over there.
Andy Samberg
It's called Hornet's Nest.
Seth Meyers
Hornet, Hornet. What you gonna do about a hornet? Hornet, Hornet. What you gonna do? Hornet's Nest, Hornet's nest. The Middle east is just a crazy hornet's nest. Hornet's nest, Hornet's nest. Hatchy down at you. And Andy also wrote back. I remember it and I remember liking it a bit, little lot. So no one.
Yoram
Well, the. And also the. Well, that Jack Black, the first one. We were still, you know, in LA and watching the show every week and it was so good. I remember thinking that was a very, very good episode.

Somebody wrote under what was that? And I like a comment that's very short to the point Greta Thunberg ripped this off.
Yoram
That's where the inspiration was. Here's a nice comment underneath the daiquiri girl. What was that? 50. 50 it says what was that was a swing and a mission. Daiquiri girl was a miss and a swing. Thanks banana dog152 got a genuine laugh
Seth Meyers
out of me in that. What was that episode? I really like when people oftentimes put a timestamp of Somebody had a timestamp at 24:51. Keev had a really good groan and then also Yoram made an ill timed tumbleweed joke at 45, 39 and Keev had a really good deflated and long.
Kristen Wiig
Good.
Yoram
I like that. That's becoming my catchphrase.
Seth Meyers
Oh, you know, speaking of McGruber, I was in New Mexico doing standup and I had lunch and then after my show I had drinks with John Solomon. Co writer McGregor.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, I was impressed that he flew out for that. He loves you too.
Seth Meyers
And his wife Alexis. It was fantastic.
Yoram
Wait, why were they there? They just came out.
Seth Meyers
They came out to see the show. They came out to have a parents weekend without their kids in New Mexico. Beautiful place to go.
Yoram
They just kind of used it as a let's get out of here, let's find. And they went, why not do that? That's as good as anything else.
Seth Meyers
It's great. I had an awesome lunch with him and he's one of the best. And I will say I thought of it. Cause John Solomon has that really nice way of saying good when you tell Him a story like. Good.
Yoram
Yeah, yeah. That is his catchphrase. I guess I stole it. Dang.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. But it's a very funny thing he says when you tell him something insane has happened. Good. Yes, yes. It's very.
Yoram
It really is.
Kristen Wiig
He can get pretty dry.
Yoram
Did he tell you about having just been with. I guess we could ask Andy, but I mean, we were trying to not blow up his spot before, but he's not there anymore, so. Yeah, his Hawaii Times.
Seth Meyers
Oh, did who tell Solomon?
Yoram
Because Solomon co wrote the movie, so he was out there a bunch.
Seth Meyers
He did. He talked about it. Solomon had a very sweet story. Because again, Solomon and Forte have known each other since college. They're collaborators now for like almost probably 30 years. Right.
Kristen Wiig
They're very similar people in terms of the way that they annoy people.
Seth Meyers
But. But Forte came out to do like a very small part in the movie and John said to have written a movie that Will came to show up to do. It was the first time I saw through different eyes what it means to have Will Forte show up on your movie, which is he's completely prepared. He is totally tireless and he is so funny. And it's just like a shot of adrenaline to the entire operation.
Yoram
Well, that's so nice.
Kristen Wiig
Oh, yeah.
Yoram
That could have gone the other way. When you started the sentence, I didn't know if you were gonna be like, he's so annoying.
Kristen Wiig
No, he is. He is.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Kristen Wiig
He always gives 150% no matter what he does.
Yoram
That's awesome. Yeah.
Seth Meyers
And I will say if there's another person who I believe that is true about, it's Fred. And I think there's a reason, like Fred and Will, you know, a hundred movies where they show up for one scene and just murder it. And it is really true also.
Kristen Wiig
I mean, Forte showing up to play bagpipes for Popstar, you know, it's a thankless role and he did a fucking amazing job.
Yoram
Well, we did shoot. We shot another scene that's on the deleted scenes with him. Do you remember? And it's pretty true where they're like in the living room and Andy's drinking and he's like staring at him. Is he asking to be paid? I can't remember what the joke was.
Seth Meyers
He shows up in the Will and Harper documentary. He shows up in New Mexico and goes up on a hot air balloon with those two. Yeah. Forte will show up for anybody. But it was very sweet to hear, like, somebody be like, yeah, no, I. I can't believe all these years in I'm like, oh, God, you're even.
Yoram
That's. It's his true, like best friend to a degree. Most adults don't have a best friend. As close as those two friends are,
Kristen Wiig
they're very sweet together.
Yoram
So back to this dictionary. Off the job. The definition be abstaining from Jav on the job to be hopped up on Jav. He's definitely.
Seth Meyers
He does have a real economy of language. That is exceptional, this one. I mean, I was kind of saving it for Andy, but British Quaids should be called quies because Jamiroquai are from England. I don't know if that seems like. I think quids is still better.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, Quids.
Seth Meyers
Hey, speaking of our quids, SNL UK had their finale last night and also got picked up. Picked up for another season.
Yoram
So how many apps was that that felt like they just premiered? Is it like an 8 episode season? They did very British. How British of them?
Seth Meyers
Very well, it was actually. It was six, which is the true British. And then it got the American quump to eight. But I think next year it might be even more so. It's a success.
Yoram
That's so exciting.
Seth Meyers
It's a success. And they really. It was really cool to watch because they. I think they had a lot of obviously the infrastructure that comes with SNL us, but they also immediately made it their own and it's just been a joy to watch. So congrats to everybody over there.
Yoram
Seth, how were upfronts? Did you get any good advertisers this year?
Seth Meyers
Thanks for asking. I did upfronts. So for those who don't know, upfronts is. Have we talked about upfronts?
Yoram
I don't think so, no.
Kristen Wiig
But I just saw Forte because he was in town for upfronts.
Seth Meyers
All the advertisers come to New York City 20 years ago, 25 years ago, when I started in this business is a way sort of bigger thing, of course, but it's still big for NBC, which is. NBC has the Monday slot. They've had the Monday slot for the entirety of my time at the network.
Kristen Wiig
Cool. Is that a good slot?
Seth Meyers
All the advertisers come in. There's a show at Radio City full. A packed radio city from 10am to noon, where basically NBC leadership and then talent come out on stage for the purposes of convincing advertisers to buy time on their shows. It's a fascinating thing to watch. It's not for the public. There's no clips of it online. I do it every year and I have been elevated To I used to open it and it was too hard to open it. And so I asked if I could go at the end. And I just basically make fun of how silly and dumb upfronts are at the end. And I feel like everybody really enjoys it.
Yoram
Like just 15 years ago, let's say, and anytime before there was cable, but really there was the four really big networks and they would each have their presentation and there would be billions of dollars worth of advertising to be had. And I think those advertisers probably knew some percentage that they were. Let's say you were Palmolive. What's that big, you know, Unilever. You probably have $500 million to spend an advertising something insane.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Yoram
And you probably have already know that you're going to do at least let's say 50 million to each of the four, but then you have another 200 that you really would look at the slates and go, hmm, where do I want to. Oh, that show looks like that's going to be perfect for our Dove campaign. And this one's gonna be perfect. And you really could win advertisers there. And now it is just not this. It can't be.
Seth Meyers
Well, now I feel like they're pitching whatever a holistic approach, like we'll put your shows everywhere and we do digital and like where it really used to be like this show. If you wanna buy space on this show. I remember in fact Keev like, so NBC used to then throw a huge party at night and all the advertisers would be there and all the talent would be there. I remember the year Modern Family showed clips at the ABC up front and it was amazing.
Yoram
The show hadn't come out yet.
Seth Meyers
It hadn't come out yet. But everyone I talked to was like, ABC has this show and it was that thing that used to happen where a pilot would blow people away. Like advertisers who by the way were every one of them to a person was right. Their instinct was like, this is where we want our product. Modern fans.
Kristen Wiig
But Seth, when you're there and when like Forte goes up for four seasons and things like that, is it to try and win that?
Seth Meyers
To like, don't. It does seem like a weird. I don't know, it seems like this ceremonial thing that you kind of can't figure out, like.
Kristen Wiig
But it's like a courting thing. But it doesn't seem like the people who like the famous people that are there really would potentially benefit from it. But I guess if people.
Yoram
No, no, you have to do it. It's part of your job to sell it to these advertisers as the actor.
Seth Meyers
But it's very funny to watch that like six, like, for example, six incredible actors will come out on stage and they all look wonderful. But, like, once you learn the rhythm of other runs, each one of them says one line about the show they're about to, you know.
Andy Samberg
Right.
Seth Meyers
And it's not scripted like banter. It's kind of like, well, don't the
Yoram
drama actors just get to be like, a man who, you know, fight fires, has one get too close to his house and, like, they just get to say it. Whereas. And then the comedy people have to come out and be like, hey, buddy, like, I'm doing a bit, you know, do some bad patter.
Seth Meyers
But either way, it's a little hard. I feel like if there was a catchphrase this year at NBC upfronts, it was a lot of shows about women running from their demons.
Yoram
Okay, well, that's something to look forward to this fall. I once went to the Fox up fronts when we had our overall yorm with fox and Pitbull. Mr. Worldwide 305.
Kristen Wiig
Oh, yeah.
Yoram
Performed on the stage at Radio City, you know, but at 11:30 in the morning for a bunch of TV affiliates and advertisers from across America.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah. And the audience was just going, ham, I would imagine.
Yoram
And he had, like, six backup dancers, and he was. It made me laugh the whole time. It was just wonderful.
Seth Meyers
But I think. I mean, I genuinely think, you know, the advertisers. I mean, it's a great reason to come to New York City for, like, four, three and a half days. Like, Matt and Bowen did, like, an opening song. It was really fun. Jane Krakowski did a song in the middle. It's not like I don't want to. It's just like a weird. And by the way, I love that it's holding on because I think it's fascinating.
Yoram
Well, it's coming back. I mean, NBC has some really great shows to look out for.
Seth Meyers
I feel like I finally realized what Keeve was fishing for. Keeve, you guys, they showed a clip from Keeve's show that he directed. And you have a name for it? You have a title for it now?
Yoram
Yeah, it's called Sunset PI.
Seth Meyers
Sunset PI.
Yoram
But it won't be out till, like, February.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Kristen Wiig
Wait, so did they invite you to the upfronts then for it?
Yoram
You know, they didn't. They didn't. Because I'm, you know, I'm in the wind now. You know, will I even do more?
Seth Meyers
Maybe, you know, playing a little koi?
Yoram
Well, I don't know. It'll depend on the schedule. Dan Gore went. I know that. Luke Deltrici went. And then those are the two creators and then three of our main stars of it, you know, Jake Johnson, Jane Levy, Keith David, they all went.
Kristen Wiig
Right.
Seth Meyers
I would lovely to see. Keith David is one of those guys that you're just very happy to see.
Yoram
Yeah. And did they just do some bad. Did they do some not bad, but did they do some painless banter up there?
Seth Meyers
Painless banter. Totally painless. But I mean, again, that's. The other thing is, like, I think you like to see the stars. They introduce the clip, but then the laughs come from the clips, which is better, you know, but who writes the.
Kristen Wiig
Are there writers then, or are they just making up their patter, basically?
Seth Meyers
No, I think they're writing it, and I bet they write it, and they probably send it to Dan Gore. Who knows, though, right?
Kristen Wiig
Okay, when I did Miracle Workers for tbs, I did like, a dog and pony show that was more like what we did for pop star Keev, where there were actual pictures of how we were going to present it. So I like, sort of was presenting the whole world to it. It was a very weird. And it was a smaller little. I don't know, it seemed like a very odd version of upfronts to me.
Yoram
That's interesting they had you do it too, because you just did the pilot. You weren't gonna be doing that world.
Kristen Wiig
I don't know. Yeah, it was a weird. It felt much more like presenting a movie like the way that you do when all the top brass come in and you're like, this is what this looks like.
Yoram
Here's the colors. You color before you shoot it. But you had already shot it, right?
Kristen Wiig
No, it was before we did it.
Yoram
Oh, that's different. That's different.
Seth Meyers
I feel like we should throw another poll up, which is, did you guys enjoy this upfront conversation or Keev and Yorms font conversation?
Yoram
Well, we skipped the most important thing. Seth, how did you like the follow up on the theater rake conversation?
Seth Meyers
I did like it. I did like the rake. I'm never gonna say no to a raid conversation.
Yoram
Okay, great.
Seth Meyers
We're gonna do a little housekeeping here, because I think Lil Slugger might be out cold. We are gonna do the second half of Turtleneck and Chain, but that requires all parties. Or maybe the three of you. If there's ever a three of you. You guys could go back and do some turtleneck and chain. But we do have the long promised Jon Hamm voice note about Shyranni too. And then we have some other voice notes as well.
Yoram
So this is from back when we asked for it.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Yoram
And we just sat on it. We're really good.
Kristen Wiig
We have a backlog.
Andy Samberg
Hi, guys, it's Jon Hamm sending you guys a voice note as requested on the air. Curious method of requesting it. I mean, you guys have my number. You could have thrown it in the chat proves he.
Yoram
He's really listening.
Andy Samberg
Whatever. Happy to oblige. The Rihanna episode was amazing. Just to throw my 2 cents in on how much. Apparently we're all in love with Rihanna and how beautiful she is. As you know, the host's dressing room is right next to the musical acts dressing room. And I was in there running some lines and Higgins was in there or something and he left and I poked my head out just to see what was up. And Rihanna asked me to come in with her and her crew to get high. She said, hey, you want to toot it? And I said, no thanks, Rihanna. I have to work. But she was very pretty. And now I completely forgot why I'm supposed to be sending you guys any kind of voice note other than the fact that you guys did the audition sketch, which is and remains my favorite sketch I've ever done on snl. Wiig and Sudeikis top of their powers and it was tremendous.
Yoram
Oh, right.
Andy Samberg
The short Ronnie and Clyde. Top notch production values, top notch song, top notch Shyrani costuming, penis work. So much good stuff. And yes, I was only needed for like two shots, which was pretty fun and cool. But yes, it was a delightful time to be there and I treasure it. The goldenest of golden eras. Once again, Halloween cut for time, bringing back Jeff Montgomery, which we really missed.
Yoram
That'd be interesting to watch.
Andy Samberg
This was it.
Kristen Wiig
Oh my God, I love that one.
Andy Samberg
Love you guys. Later on.
Yoram
Well, he tried to later on. Unless you son of a bitch.
Kristen Wiig
Just play the.
Seth Meyers
I don't know if he's allowed to do that.
Kristen Wiig
Play the music.
Seth Meyers
You know, since we had a ham and he mentioned audition sketch and obviously we know whose co star in that sketch is Kristen Wiig. I got a voice note from Kristen and I was, you know, I think just because we do this, I'm recollecting about our friends that I wish I saw more often. And I was just walking down the street. I think I was going to the dentist and all of a sudden I saw a text from Wiig and It was the best kind of text because it was a voice note. And so let's give a listen to that. Hi, guys.
Andy Samberg
It's.
Jon Hamm
Oh, it's seven in the morning. You're getting a real early voice wig this morning. And this is. This is just a general voice note. It's not based on anything. I'm just recording this at my own will. And I will tell you, I don't feel confident in my voice note note skills for this because so far I don't have anything funny to say. And I'm just. You've asked me to do these in the past. I. I was just listening to you guys and thought, you know what? I just need to tell you how much I love being a part of you guys going back in time with these years. Like, you know, it was probably, I mean, besides having kids, the best years of my life with all of you. And we all shared in something so rare. And I don't know, I just listening because I. I never watched the shows when I was on. I don't know, it was like a weird OCD thing or something. I just. I couldn't do it. And, like, towards the end of my time there, I would maybe watch a sketch that I wasn't in, like, maybe. So I've never seen these. Most of these sketches that you're talking about, but I remember all of them. And then especially the shorts that, you know, that was just something that, as a cast member, we didn't really know what you guys were doing. Like, you would. You would tell us, and we know you were working on it, and we never got to see anything beforehand. So for us, it was also such a special time to, you know, run to the monitors during the show and watch what you guys did. And it was such a big part of the show, and it was just. I don't know, I'm just getting full of nostalgia in my later years. I guess I just wanted to reach out and just tell you that I love you all and listening to you. And anyway, that's it. I don't know how to end this, but I'll just say that I'm in
Seth Meyers
the Quaid army, guys.
Jon Hamm
I'm in it, and I love you.
Kristen Wiig
Oh, my God.
Yoram
Righteous kill.
Seth Meyers
Righteous killed.
Kristen Wiig
Me a little emotional at the end.
Yoram
It made me.
Seth Meyers
It was very emotional. I was walking down the street. It made me emotional. And also, it's a reminder for someone who has an ability to do some of the funniest voices known to man. Kristen Wiig has a beautiful speaking voice. I mean, it's just. It was like velvet. So calming.
Kristen Wiig
Velvet really, really sucked me in.
Seth Meyers
She did send a second voice note.
Yoram
Was like, just kidding. All that was you?
Seth Meyers
Well, you'll be surprised. Let's take a look.
Jon Hamm
Okay, one last thing. And it's about all the ALF stuff. Grew up watching that show and I, I don't think I've ever been bleeped and I would just love my first time to be on the pod. Sorry, Andy. I'm just shocked and appalled at the dead and how he smoked all the that and sucked all that. It's pretty sick.
Kristen Wiig
Oh, yep.
Yoram
Oh, wow.
Seth Meyers
Really nice. Really. I mean, Jonah Hillian use of the second. The follow up voice note.
Yoram
Follow up voice note is really a powerful tool.
Seth Meyers
You know, the members of the celebrity members of Quaid army really understand the game and I can't thank them enough.
Kristen Wiig
Well, can I go back to the realness of the first, please? I just, just when I went to college, I remember going to UCLA and being so disappointed about the dorm experience and being like, I thought it was going to be this like magical fucking, like what you think of when you think of like a movie version of college. And I had such a fucking great time in high school. All of my really close friends, I have a couple of friends from college that I'm close with. But going to SNL was like the college experience that I wanted to have. Like our stupid room was covered in shitty fucking posters. It was so sarcastic and ridiculous. And you're with some of the greatest people who are so fucking funny, like fortes across the hall from us. It all feels like dorm rooms and you're having a sleepover fucking basically every night, like on Tuesdays. And we spent a lot of time sleeping at the vet at SNL on shitty couches. But like, but it was, it felt like that to me of like this was the college experience that I wanted to have.
Seth Meyers
It's so true. You're right. It is the stereotypical captured on screen, I don't know, like college romp movies, but in real life.
Kristen Wiig
I remember like trying to ollie over a couch in the hallway, like on my skateboard. And like having that stupid jazzy scooter that Ozzy Osbourne gave to Horatio that was just in the hallway and we were driving that shit around. It's so great. It was such a great, I mean, you know, stressful, anxiety ridden for sure, all of that, but like, but just some of the greatest people that I will ever know and love, you know, experiencing that was just. It was the best thank you wig for sending that. Yeah, yeah.
Yoram
It made me want to go hang out with wig, which I know we both live in the same. I mean, she's here and I never
Kristen Wiig
said, yeah, we should go have dinner with her. Support for our fantastic podcast comes from Quince. There's nothing better than getting into bed Bed. When it feels just right. Soft sheets, the perfect weight of sheets. Everything a little more comfortable than you expect. And I expect the world of my bedding. It's such a small thing, but it makes a big difference at the end of the day. I think it's a big thing. Actually, I disagree with this copy and that's what I love about Quence. Their bedding feels elevated. Really well made. Exceptionally well made. Again, I take issue with this copy and just. And it just makes getting into bed something to actually look forward to. Did you know that they make mulberry silk pillowcases and eye masks that help keep your hair smooth and your skin hydrated overnight? Now you do. If you're listening to this entire ad bad, it's one of those small upgrades that you actually notice. You know what I got surprised by when dealing with quints was how luxurious it made me feel.
Yoram
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Kristen Wiig
And the price.
Seth Meyers
Wow.
Kristen Wiig
I was like, dang, this is low, low, low, low for how luxurious this is. And I gotta be honest guys, I didn't think I would notice a difference. But guess what I did. Refresh your everyday bedding with luxury that you'll actually use. Head head to quint.com island for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns. That's a whole year, guys. Now available in Canada too. Eh? That's Q-U I N C E dot com island for free shipping and three 65 day returns. Quints.com island
Yoram
back to the dictionary one last time. Guys. Guys, there's one that's in bold for no reason. Like, like super bold. I don't know why it's bigger when Ben Stein's money guy. Ben Stein is the definition of that. And it's origin is from Sandberg. Episode 54 the Win Ben Stein's money guy.
Kristen Wiig
Well, not not surprisingly, Andy has a lot of these that are origins from Andy's joining.
Yoram
Andy, can you hear me right now?
Seth Meyers
Yeah. Can you hear me? Yeah, we can hear.
Yoram
We found the dictionary that somebody's keeping of all the things that we talk about on the pod that need to catch up. But one of the words in it is Win Ben Stein's money guy. And the definition Is Ben Stein.
Andy Samberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know the win. Ben Stein's money guy.
Yoram
Yeah, the grandma got run over by. What's that song about grandma getting run over by a Randy.
Andy Samberg
Literally. So embarrassing.
Seth Meyers
Andy, talk us through the late arrival.
Andy Samberg
Well, I'm shooting back to back movies. Do you want the long version?
Yoram
No, please.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, okay.
Yoram
No, I'll go soon. Yeah, dad, really get us into it.
Andy Samberg
Yeah, I'm completely, completely overstretched. I was supposed to do something this morning, but I'm sick as a dog. And I canceled it after my alarm went off to do the morning thing. Knowing we had this at noon or 12:15.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, weird time.
Andy Samberg
And I was like, oh, I don't have to do that morning thing now I get to just fall back asleep for let's say three hours. It'll be totally fine to make this. And then I woke up and we were a good 30 minutes into it and I had the good old fashioned panel.
Seth Meyers
I'm gonna tell you something and I want you to know this is sincere. I am so happy you got that sleep.
Yoram
Yeah, thrilled.
Andy Samberg
I appreciate it.
Seth Meyers
No, no hard feelings at all. You got what you needed.
Yoram
I mean, I'm also jealous and impressed that you're able to sleep. I know it's cause you have a cold, but it's also like. It's amazing to be able to sleep that much.
Andy Samberg
Yeah, I mean I haven't done it probably in like three or four straight months. Which is, you know, generally parenting People would say that. But I've just been working so much, Seth. You know how it is.
Seth Meyers
I know how it is. My son came in this morning and woke me up at. My daughter had a fever. She slept in my bed with Alexi. I slept in my daughter's bed. So my son found me at 6:50 and woke me up and I was like, can you just give me five more minutes? And he was like, I'll give you two. And then he left and I fully fell back asleep. And then he poked me and he goes, I gave you seven.
Andy Samberg
I was like, sweetheart, relationships are a negotiation.
Seth Meyers
We've been reading a lot of. We actually. This has worked out fine. Cause I think we got a full episode out of just minutia, which I think is like a very. Yeah.
Yoram
We didn't go into party at Mr. Bernard's because we agreed that that was for all of us to get part
Seth Meyers
of extending the pod. We talked a lot about upfronts, so that's one of the issues upfronts talking
Andy Samberg
about how fucking fun they are.
Kristen Wiig
We should Call this episode Minutia.
Yoram
I did talk about when we saw Pitbull at the.
Andy Samberg
That was the first thing I was gonna say.
Yoram
Yeah. At the Fox upfronts, there's like, God
Andy Samberg
damn, I wonder how much they gave him.
Yoram
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
I've seen musicians come off, like, at Radio City, like, not Pitbull, but like that level of. And they just come off and they're like, fuck. Cause it's just impossible to get the audience going.
Yoram
He smiled and danced his way through it, and he knew exactly what the deal was. Like, you're paying me, and I know this is a corporate gig and I'll cash the check and I'll do a 15 minutes medley and hit the road.
Andy Samberg
It's definitely like a different version of performing for the Shah, right?
Seth Meyers
Yeah, it's a little perform for the Shah.
Yoram
He kept saying, how you doing, Saudi Arabia?
Andy Samberg
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Yoram
And we were like, no, no. It's like, Gaddafi. How you doing, Gaddafi?
Seth Meyers
Happy birthday.
Andy Samberg
Drinking is in ears. Pit. No.
Seth Meyers
Pit. Pit. No. No. Abc? No.
Yoram
Fox, Frito Lay and Unilever.
Seth Meyers
Hey, speaking of ads, I've saved a few comments for you, Andy.
Andy Samberg
Okay, please.
Seth Meyers
A possible 711 partnership with Andy Big Gulp Samberg.
Yoram
Oh, yeah.
Andy Samberg
Cause I'd be gulping the big reviewers, by the way. I'm in the streets of New York, y'. All. I'm out there. Still zero suitors.
Seth Meyers
Still zero suitors. And do you want to put the caveat again on how they should approach if you're with your children?
Andy Samberg
Yeah, I gotta be chill about it with the kids.
Yoram
No, it's that they bring a Nintendo Switch that they. To hand to the kids to play with.
Seth Meyers
So if you want the queen from Andy on the streets and he's with his kids, you gotta have a second person with you to watch the kids while you guys go around the corner. He will not leave his kids on the corner without a second adult.
Andy Samberg
And also, like, don't take forever. Like, don't show off,
Seth Meyers
Show up.
Kristen Wiig
Anyway, 711 tie in.
Seth Meyers
Are you the one that's supposed to be impressed, Andy?
Yoram
Yeah, I like kind of an episode like this that's just kind of recapping, talking about the past. And then have Andy come in late so we can recap. Recap this episode.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, we.
Yoram
Just to recap what he just missed. We got a great voice note from Wig. We went over one from Ham. You'll be able to check them all out on the. You know, on the pod where your podcast. Yeah. I don't know if you're on Apple or you go to the YouTube channel. Yeah, Spotify. Really? Anywhere that you find your podcast, Andy, when you're listening to yours, this is.
Andy Samberg
Everyone knows what this joke is because I don't care for podcasts.
Seth Meyers
She even, by the way, in her voice note, Kristin goes, I love the pod. Sorry, Andy. Like, she's so worried that you're gonna be offended that she likes the podcast you're on.
Andy Samberg
I appreciate that from her.
Seth Meyers
What a bud that your first tranche is. You hate podcasts, and your second tranche is you do one and you like when people like it.
Andy Samberg
Yeah, that's true.
Seth Meyers
Hey, somebody sent in another suggestion for Queen Beede. I'm a little worried. Cause, like, do you consider Queen Bee a quiz?
Yoram
No.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, that's the only issue. I did like it. Except that I don't.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, it's a game.
Seth Meyers
Somebody said, like, you could say if you queen bead, you. You quizzed in your pants.
Andy Samberg
Oh, yeah, it's good.
Seth Meyers
Quibbed in your pants.
Andy Samberg
Quibbed in my pants, Yeah.
Kristen Wiig
I gotta say, because of you, Andy, I've been doing the Mini and trying to do it under two minutes, and that is a fun one. It's a midi or the mini. The Mini. The Mini.
Andy Samberg
Am I ni. Under two minutes?
Yoram
Yeah.
Kristen Wiig
Isn't that what I think?
Seth Meyers
That's. I think if it's over two minutes, that's failing a cognitive test.
Yoram
You want to get it in, like, under 30 seconds, if you can.
Andy Samberg
I got the mini in 19.
Kristen Wiig
You got it in 19 seconds?
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Yoram
He's also very good at typing in his phone. Because the keyboard. The keyboard.
Andy Samberg
If I can get the MIDI in under two, I feel good about myself.
Kristen Wiig
Wow.
Yoram
What's the midi?
Andy Samberg
The MIDI is somewhat new.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Yoram
As we know. I don't subscribe to the game, so I don't even know what that is.
Kristen Wiig
You can do the Mini in 19 seconds. Seconds.
Seth Meyers
I'm gonna do the mini right now.
Andy Samberg
Oh, no. I mean, my best ever is 12, I think.
Kristen Wiig
Jesus.
Yoram
But it's really. I used to do it, and me and Andy would send them to each other every night. This is years ago. And have the challenge. And sometimes it's also just the typing is hard.
Seth Meyers
Like, I just did it. There you go. That's my Mini.
Andy Samberg
Seth got it in 23.
Kristen Wiig
Shut the fuck up.
Seth Meyers
What was. What jam? What jam do you want?
Yoram
But at that point, half the skill is knowing how to, like, hit the buttons fast. Fast enough.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. But they're regular keyboard buttons. It's not a new keyboard for this. New York Times.
Yoram
The New York Times Keyboard works worse than other keyboards. Wait, sorry guys. If they're listening.
Kristen Wiig
Is this the Mini though? Is this it right now?
Yoram
No, that's what you just did, Seth.
Seth Meyers
No, that's. That's something.
Kristen Wiig
The Mini is like the really tiny one, right?
Andy Samberg
Is that the Saturday or is that.
Kristen Wiig
Oh, this is Saturday. Yeah. So.
Seth Meyers
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Kristen Wiig
It looks. It looks more like this, right? The.
Seth Meyers
This guy, right?
Andy Samberg
Yeah, that's the Mini.
Kristen Wiig
Okay. With four minutes.
Yoram
That's wonderful.
Kristen Wiig
That's four minutes.
Seth Meyers
Did you take a call in the middle?
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, occasionally I like, I come back to it. Fucking.
Seth Meyers
Okay.
Kristen Wiig
I thought you were doing it in under two minutes. And I was like, oh, okay, that's doable.
Yoram
A mole eyed cherry, just to remind you, is one who has poor undiscerning eyesight and or questionable taste in visual aesthetic.
Seth Meyers
That's great.
Yoram
I definitely don't remember that play on Eagle Eared Cherry. And in turn, Swedish musician Eagle Ey Cherry. This is an origin from episode 77. Quote, if you think yam's vest looks good, you're a real mole cherry.
Kristen Wiig
Oh, I gotta start wearing that vest again.
Seth Meyers
How was. How was the first week of the movie? And Andy?
Andy Samberg
It was great. I'm very excited and I'm so tired. I have not been on an episode since I saw Maya and Oh Mary.
Seth Meyers
Oh, great.
Andy Samberg
Which was like, I don't want to overstate it, but like life changing.
Yoram
Yeah.
Andy Samberg
She's so incredibly funny in it. It was like spectacular to behold.
Kristen Wiig
I can't wait to see it.
Andy Samberg
Like, I know you mentioned it on your show, Seth, when she was on, but like I went into it being like, oh, this will be cool, you know, and I get to say hi to Maya, my buddy. And then like about 30 minutes into it, I was like, oh my God. Yeah, she's just destroying the whole time.
Seth Meyers
I cannot wait.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah.
Andy Samberg
And at the end of it, we were chatting. I was like. It almost felt like a full theatrical story length performance of the national anthem sketch.
Seth Meyers
Right.
Andy Samberg
Where it's just her doing every single move, but like it just never ends. There's just moves after moves after moves after moves where you're like, like it just felt like watching someone at the absolute like peak of their game and it was a joy.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah.
Yoram
I'm curious, Seth. You've seen the show a couple times with different actors doing it, right?
Seth Meyers
Yeah, I've seen twice with Cole and once with Betty Gilpin.
Yoram
So that'll be. You'll be seeing it through a whole even other lens of like what she changed.
Seth Meyers
I had my doubts about seeing it with someone other than Cole. And I will say Betty was amazing and it was such a credit to Cole's role. Yeah.
Kristen Wiig
And I saw Titus and Cole and I just loved with Titus, like, how much they actually rewrote a bit. Like it. Like, it feels like it's actually tailored to a new performer and it's like, it's really fucking fun to see.
Andy Samberg
Wait, but let me go back, because I did say I should have caveated by saying I have never seen the show Omari before. So I also was having, like, just
Yoram
the comedic at Cole's writing experience of.
Andy Samberg
Yeah. Of enjoying the show O Mary for the first time and understanding what all the hype was about.
Seth Meyers
It is one of those things where I originally worried you could over hype, and I think it might be incapable of being overhyped because the way it's audacious is beyond your.
Yoram
I think it's coming to the Pantages here in LA soon too. But I don't know who's going to be playing it, but I bet you
Seth Meyers
it's in London too.
Yoram
I bet you it'll be somebody good in la.
Andy Samberg
Seth, I know you would. You would say it for yourself, too, and probably we all would. You are my. No, you would. But, like, in terms of what we like in comedy, it's so right down our wheelhouse. Like, it's like relentlessly stupid, but also very deep and sharp and it just feels like a person in their room as a kid having the most fun you could possibly have. But also it has a lot of
Kristen Wiig
thought behind it and no overstaying any welcome. It's amazing.
Seth Meyers
That's. The part is that it's. You know, when Cole was on my show and said, you know, I wanted to write this show without doing any research about Mary Todd Lincoln, which is the funniest way to start. But that, like, From a Wide View is like, oh, that sounds lazy, but. But then it's like the structure of it, like, the payoff. Like, that part of it is just the best.
Yoram
Yeah.
Andy Samberg
Yeah. And then getting to watch Maya do it, I was like, man, this is just heaven. I was like, I think maybe I like theater again.
Seth Meyers
I mean, that is. I mean, you'd watch a two hour version of it, but, like, it is the right price to get in and out.
Andy Samberg
Oh, it felt great.
Seth Meyers
I also don't think you could stretch it any longer than whatever, 80 minutes because it's so relaxing.
Yoram
Oh, it's nice and short.
Kristen Wiig
No, it's perfect. The length is absolutely perfect.
Andy Samberg
I Was sending people the, like, what's his face? Hitchcock from Waiting for Guffman. Gif. Afterwards, they're like, I just want to be on the show.
Seth Meyers
Also, shout out to Ana Gastar, Rachel Dratch. Both Tony nominated.
Yoram
I saw that. Pretty amazing that they're all on shows, too, at the same exact time.
Kristen Wiig
Fucking come out, Keev. Let's go see some theater.
Seth Meyers
Oh, one other thing we talked about, Andy, is I ran into John Solomon, and he was saying how cool it was to observe what it's like to see his oldest friend, Will Forte, show up to do a small part in a movie.
Andy Samberg
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
And how delightful. He said for the first time, he kind of saw, like, oh, my God, Like, Will shows up super prepared, super game, super funny, and just, like, leaves everybody in a better mood than before he showed up.
Andy Samberg
Yeah, I mean, I knew that was gonna be the case, but, yeah, he's such a killer. And the nicest ever, as we've discussed.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Andy Samberg
Pretty sure he has every single person in the crew's number now. And they have.
Seth Meyers
And now they're his burden to carry till the end of his days.
Yoram
You know what I just remembered? I had him do a part in Neighborhood Watch way back then, and he was the same, obviously, but also his co star was a guy named Mel Rodriguez, and then that guy ended up being on Last man on Earth with him.
Seth Meyers
Oh, yes, he did.
Kristen Wiig
Forte becomes friends with everybody for years
Yoram
and years and years, and it was so nice that they just. Just, like, had a good time hanging out there. He thought he was talented and was like, let's write him into the new TV show I'm doing.
Kristen Wiig
Okay. I want to. I want to do a little quiz for you guys here because of what we're talking about and Will Forte. I want to know this for Forte as well. Yeah, but how many contacts do you have in your phone right now?
Yoram
Oh, my God. Forte must have 10,000 at least, right? How do you know how many you have right away?
Kristen Wiig
Okay, so you go to. You. You go to your contacts, and then you go back one, and it'll be says all contacts.
Yoram
You mean to the very top?
Andy Samberg
Oh, yeah.
Yoram
Oh, I see.
Kristen Wiig
How many of you guys have.
Yoram
Some people in here are dead, so.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, of course.
Yoram
Does that still count?
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, it counts.
Andy Samberg
You have 1,475.
Yoram
Okay.
Seth Meyers
I have 1,615. Andy. And I feel such harmony with you right now, and I feel like it speaks to how we approach life, and
Yoram
I'm really happy you guys both did me. I have 1052 okay.
Kristen Wiig
And you'll. You will not be surprised, guys, that I have 3313.
Seth Meyers
Not at all.
Yoram
That's so perfect.
Andy Samberg
I'm not surprised in the slightest.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, yeah.
Yoram
Let's say, like, I have, like, a math tutor for my daughter who Liz put me on a group text with. Do you immediately put it as a contact so you know what it is, or do you kind of go, I'm gonna let that ride for a little bit, where it's just like a random.
Seth Meyers
I mean, clearly I do, Keev. You know what? To my great detriment, I let it ride.
Yoram
I let it ride too.
Seth Meyers
But it's shameful.
Andy Samberg
And it does bite me in the ass.
Seth Meyers
It bites me in the ass. And it's often. You know what? And it bites Alexi in the ass first. Yes. That is then a double bite.
Yoram
I think I'm gonn just immediately putting them in because also, I need to start building up my numbers, apparently.
Andy Samberg
But Yoram, when Yoram, especially if Yoram is drinking, it's like he'll get as many numbers in his phone as drinks he has had.
Kristen Wiig
That is true. Or was true. But I don't really drink anymore.
Yoram
So the better question that take too long to answer is if we started going through how many? Do you not even know who they are?
Kristen Wiig
Oh, no, no. I put in who they are. So most of them, I actually will
Yoram
have context for it, but for 3,000, there's gotta be a bunch where it'll even say, like, ad of this, and you go, I don't remember what that is.
Seth Meyers
No, no, no, no.
Kristen Wiig
I like there.
Andy Samberg
There's no, like, while we're doing this, can you maybe do a little scrolling to find, like, the funniest description of somebody?
Kristen Wiig
I can. I can try that.
Andy Samberg
Like, Jeff hot dog. Hey, look, we're in the era of the roast, you guys. This is all fair game now.
Seth Meyers
Wait, the roast. I will say I don't want to talk about the fucking cat. Williams was very funny. Really made me laugh, man. God damn it.
Yoram
Did you just watch a clip or you click the Netflix thing and watch an hour of a rock?
Seth Meyers
I kind of heard who was good and then scrolled and watched.
Andy Samberg
I watched most of it. I did some fast forwarding, but I did it in two chunks.
Yoram
This is the difference of what we spend our time on. I watch Robin Men and Thieves extended version to catch the extra 12. You guys do that.
Seth Meyers
But it'd been so long since you watched the first Men and Thieves, as you called it.
Yoram
Well, it's a hybrid of the tights and the men.
Seth Meyers
It must have been so long since you watched the. The first Prince of Thieves. Did you know that? Could you even notice what the 12 minutes, the new 12 minutes were?
Yoram
No, I didn't know what. I didn't know what they were. So I did a little googling. And it has a lot to do with. I don't know how well you know it, but there's a witch that kind of lives in the basement of the castle that the Sheriff of Nottingham, that Alan Rickman keeps going to for like Satan worshipy kind of black magic, fortune telling. And there's a lot more information with her. Again, this won't have meaning if you don't know the movie really well. Well, but suffice to say she says at some point that he came out of her. Oh, her words.
Seth Meyers
Well, you know, now it's a question of how much you're going to believe a basement witch. Right?
Yoram
Yeah, it seems pretty plausible because she says, like, I'm a freak, you're my damaged seed.
Seth Meyers
Interesting take.
Yoram
Yeah. She just can't believe she could get her like cursed seed into potentially royal blood. And she keeps saying that he has to stud Maid Marian. These are again, her words, not mine. Studies. Yeah. So that her seed will get. Yeah. Anyways. And they decided to cut that stuff. Can you believe it? Weird. There's also these holes in the wall that she's been spying on him through. And he sees it and he almost like barfs because he thinks about how she's been watching him fuck. Anyways, it's interesting cuts. Andy, how did you like me and Yorms? We like sports pod.
Andy Samberg
Oh, bro, you know, I listen to that.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, he listens to me.
Yoram
We should have talked so much shit about Andy and Yorm. It's a missed opportunity.
Andy Samberg
Did you give me credit for one contribution on it?
Yoram
I don't remember what it is.
Andy Samberg
I pitched doing the Nori thing at the end. The what?
Seth Meyers
What?
Kristen Wiig
What? There you go.
Yoram
Super Thug.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Andy Samberg
And you guys did it. And I was like, I contributed to
Seth Meyers
one now, that Noriega song, Andy, like, so top tier, like 99 problems. That's the shallowest cut on rap, right? So that's a one. A ten is a super deep cut song.
Andy Samberg
Okay.
Seth Meyers
What is that? Noriega a song. How deep a cut would you call that? A one is something everyone's heard of like 99 problems. That's a one.
Andy Samberg
Super thug is like a two.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
Oh, my God.
Andy Samberg
A two or a three?
Yoram
Wow, that's very popular. I thought I thought you'd put it at like a six.
Andy Samberg
Really?
Yoram
Or like a five.
Kristen Wiig
No way that that song was popping.
Yoram
If you.
Andy Samberg
If you listen to pop music at all. I feel like it's a three. Let's be real. Three or four. Three or four.
Yoram
So very popular.
Andy Samberg
I overranked it in the beginning.
Yoram
Okay, yeah, it's very popular, but it's not night night. What's that?
Andy Samberg
If you're of a certain age, which is our age, like Seth, the number of times we were out at a club during SNL that that played is many probably got it.
Yoram
You maybe just aren't recognizing it from me and Yorms rendition.
Seth Meyers
That might be the issue. Listening to the two guys do it. Guy one and guy two.
Andy Samberg
Should we listen to the whole thing right now? Can we clear it?
Seth Meyers
I don't think we can clear it.
Yoram
Oh, I actually had some housekeeping thing to say to the people who complain on YouTube about ads. Not that we've had that recently, but that was a. In the past, we turned them off to the best of what is possible to do occasionally because I went and looked at something on our We Like Sports post when I was looking at the comments and I saw there was ads, and I was like, huh. What happens occasionally when we put our music on is that UMG Republic, you know, like the record label that technically owns the master of that song flags it as if we are anybody posting owned music. And when they do that, they get control of it. So they're not taking down our podcast. But then they are deciding to monetize it because it has a song they own we like sports, in this case on it. So we can't control that they're adding ads because the ads go.
Seth Meyers
Although I am seeing in the chat, Keev, it was because of the Arnold clip, not you guys. It was the Arnold Schwarzenegger singing.
Yoram
Oh, that's the one that got. That got us flagged.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Yoram
Well, regardless, lists we got flagged. And then they're putting ads on it and we can't control it and we're not making money from that either. So just for anybody who's annoyed at them, it's.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. And by the way, it was worth it for that Arnold song because that made me laugh.
Yoram
Doesn't know what we're talking about, but he'll. He'll. He'll listen. He.
Andy Samberg
I feel like for some reason I did hear that.
Yoram
Well, I. I had played a little bit of it when I found it, but yes.
Andy Samberg
Yeah, it was pretty spectac.
Yoram
Well, it was to honor yourms. Take it away, Arnold.
Seth Meyers
Oh, so now when Yoram says, take it away, Arnold, Arnold sings a song,
Kristen Wiig
which is a very good song.
Seth Meyers
So I guess next time I have Arnold on the show, I should get him to sing a song so we can use it. The wheel.
Yoram
Yeah. Yes, that's right. But also make sure it's not a song. That is a cover. It has to be an original.
Kristen Wiig
He'll like to.
Seth Meyers
Can you sing two bars of an original song or a Lonely island song?
Yoram
Well, no, those aren't safe, as we know. Well, maybe it depends TBD on that, I guess.
Seth Meyers
I don't know if I've given a shout out yet to Widow's Bay. Big fan of Widow's Bay.
Andy Samberg
I keep being told I'd like it.
Seth Meyers
It's really good.
Yoram
What is it? Tell me.
Seth Meyers
It's that Matthew Reese, Apple TV show. Katie Dippold, showrunning creator. It's like a horror comedy that takes place on a New England. A haunted New England island. Stephen Richard Root. It's fantastic.
Kristen Wiig
He is a great actor.
Yoram
Wow, that sounds very good.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. Highly recommend.
Yoram
So are we all giving our recommendations? Because mine, beyond being, you know, the Prince of Thieves, obviously extended cut. Satanic mom cut. Yeah, the. I don't actually have another one. Andy, what's your.
Andy Samberg
I watched the back half of T2 yesterday and guess what? Still great.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, can't wait to show my kids.
Andy Samberg
I watched the Martin Short documentary, which I loved, of course. Already loved him. Just makes you love him. Were just the best ever.
Seth Meyers
Best human being in the world.
Yoram
Oh, for the record, me and Seth have both done our homework and watched A Knight's Tale. I don't know if we want to talk about it, but there was a lot of chatter from the Quaids about that. We hadn't seen it and we both have now watched it recently.
Andy Samberg
Oh, good for you guys.
Yoram
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Seth Meyers
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Yoram
The real star is Paul Bettany.
Seth Meyers
He really does. He steals it.
Yoram
Is that his first movie? I remember him being an unknown to me when I.
Seth Meyers
And he plays Jeffrey Chuck Chaucer. It's a little bit of a figure of history.
Yoram
Oh, he does, yeah. Is anybody else a figure of history in there?
Seth Meyers
I don't think so. I think it's a nice little piece of writing to make him.
Yoram
Jeffrey Chaucer, the guy who wrote it, also did the adaptation of LA Confidential, one of the best adaptations of all time. Yeah, he wrote and directed A Knight's Tale. He did that screenplay adaptation.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. Very good. I'm Trying to think if I got any others to shout out.
Andy Samberg
You know what I watched last night? What's that 8 Berlantz special from 2022.
Seth Meyers
What's it called? It's a great name.
Andy Samberg
Cinnamon in the Wind.
Seth Meyers
That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andy Samberg
It was fantastic.
Seth Meyers
Obviously, dude, they. Have you seen that like YouTube clip of the two of them, Berlant and early, just like complimenting each other? Hold on, let me try to find it.
Kristen Wiig
They're incredible. I'm gonna have to go soon, guys. I gotta go swim.
Yoram
Wow.
Andy Samberg
Wow. This is Andy and I'm judging you. I can't believe that.
Yoram
Oh, you know what? I did watch Seth on the Criterion app. That is excellent. When you're looking for some nice, you know, old stuff to watch that are like 80 minutes. I watched three things. One was Bad Day at Blackrock, which I had never seen.
Seth Meyers
I just watched that. You know why I watched it? There was. Somebody had a clip on Twitter of. They said Paul Thomas Anderson said he learned more from the audio track of this than he did in film school.
Yoram
Oh, the director.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Yoram
That's awesome. I just had always. It had been on my list and it just came on Criterion and someone pointed that out. So I watched it. It's like 80 minutes.
Seth Meyers
It's great.
Yoram
It's so rad. And then I also watched so you know out of the Past. The noir movie.
Seth Meyers
Yes. Which one is that?
Yoram
It has like Kirk Douglas in it and shit. It's like one of the classic noirs of all classic noirs. So I had seen that like a film print of that a few years back. But then, you know Criterion, they do like a little block where it'll have more from in a theme. That dude who did it's a French director, even though it's an American movie. He did. They put up three of his movies. So it's out of the past. This other one called Nightfall and this other one called Berlin Express. Express. They're all excellent, like crazy excellent, awesome watches. And they're all short and easy.
Seth Meyers
Out of the past. Great.
Yoram
Yeah. Out of the Past is an all time classic. But. But Nightfall and Berlin Express, I hadn't even heard of either of them. And they both are so fun and easy.
Andy Samberg
What, what, what what is this podcast?
Yoram
This is just our recommendations at the end of it. Always just like how polar does the polar plunge where she tells you about something that made her laugh. We talk about either westerns, prison movies, movies, black and white, old ones.
Kristen Wiig
It's like a great hang, you know,
Yoram
or like Car racing, like Ford versus Ferrari. It's called Dad's Corner, I think. Oh, yeah. There's got to be a more catchy, like, polar plunge, like. Like dad. Dad.
Kristen Wiig
Well, speaking of. Speaking of Dad, I gotta go race my son in a swimming race. That's what I gotta go do right now.
Yoram
Oh, you're gonna lose. All right.
Seth Meyers
We love you.
Andy Samberg
Let him win. Love you.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, I gotta.
Seth Meyers
I love you, Lauren.
Kristen Wiig
Yep. Love you.
Andy Samberg
Love you, Lauren.
Yoram
Love you, Freddy.
Seth Meyers
And sleep. Love you, Lauren. Will you tell YM I said that?
Yoram
Perfect.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Kristen Wiig
Bye.
Seth Meyers
Bye.
Yoram
What do you want me to share?
Seth Meyers
Will you share screen and play the clip I just put in the chat? It's from their 2022 special.
Yoram
Oh. Oh, the Twitter one.
Andy Samberg
Do you guys believe you are mad to leave early?
Kristen Wiig
Yeah. So selfish. You look.
Seth Meyers
I am looking at you.
Yoram
Oh, I remember this. It's so strange because you look 12, but you also look 60.
Seth Meyers
And it's.
Yoram
It's. I love the way you're the shading. And you finally got on a foundation that matches. You know, it's so funny.
Seth Meyers
Obviously, I haven't seen you in years.
Kristen Wiig
Yeah, I know.
Seth Meyers
Years.
Yoram
You know, I haven't seen you in person. Yeah, years.
Kristen Wiig
I haven't seen you in person, but
Yoram
I also haven't seen you just kind
Andy Samberg
of reflected anywhere in the culture.
Yoram
So what have you been up to?
Seth Meyers
I've been really good.
Yoram
I've been busy.
Seth Meyers
I've been in New York doing theater.
Yoram
Kind of a first love of mine. But mostly I'm busy with my foundations.
Seth Meyers
That is really what keeps me occupied. Pot.
Yoram
You have foundations?
Seth Meyers
I've started many foundations, and that's where I really pour my energy now.
Andy Samberg
What foundations?
Seth Meyers
My foundations.
Yoram
Which ones?
Seth Meyers
A lot of work, but it's so worth it.
Andy Samberg
Which foundation?
Seth Meyers
Which foundation?
Andy Samberg
Name one.
Seth Meyers
Which foundation would I name? Do you see? Start one of them. Switch foundation, you know, and if you come down.
Yoram
Which foundation?
Seth Meyers
I didn't go Irish at all with that.
Yoram
I didn't go Irish when I said foundation.
Seth Meyers
Now she's fully Irish. So you.
Yoram
Mr. I can't go anywhere without seeing your face.
Seth Meyers
I know.
Yoram
I saw you in the movie where
Seth Meyers
you play the genie.
Yoram
I walked in on my friend's dog watching it. The dog was completely fixated on you. That must have been hard, though.
Seth Meyers
I know you got a lot of
Jon Hamm
flack for playing the genie.
Seth Meyers
People are so vicious now.
Kristen Wiig
Oh, my God.
Yoram
I should have congratulated you on the kiosk. Should have loved that. Yes. Congrats on the kiosk. Kate has been selling candies oh, my God.
Seth Meyers
At the airport.
Yoram
This little kiosk at the airport with your candy.
Seth Meyers
I don't sell whoopsie daisies.
Yoram
Yeah, I don't sell candy at the airport.
Seth Meyers
It's just not what I heard.
Yoram
I don't think anyone's ever told you I do that.
Seth Meyers
I can't believe.
Yoram
And I am not attacking you.
Seth Meyers
It is just not what I heard. Well, I don't have a kiosk at the airport.
Yoram
Mutual friends have reported that you have
Seth Meyers
a kiosk at the airport where you sell candy. I do not sell candy at the airport.
Yoram
And no mutual friends have reported that.
Seth Meyers
Because that would be a lie. Sorry. These cold in here.
Andy Samberg
God damn it.
Seth Meyers
It's just fucking perfect.
Yoram
It's so good. That whole hour is pretty fun. Just like a sketch show that they do.
Andy Samberg
Yeah, they are the best.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, they really are. I do have to run. My kids are about done with their mountain biking class. This worked out perfectly.
Yoram
All right. A success.
Seth Meyers
Andy, I'm assuming we're off for tonight. And I love you.
Andy Samberg
I love you. And I don't have a spelling bee score to report. I was trying to do it while we recorded, but it wasn't even a full app for me, so I'm not even a genius yet.
Seth Meyers
Okay. Okay, well, let us know.
Andy Samberg
I'll send a voice note.
Yoram
Jeff, thank God.
Andy Samberg
Andy here with that quick spelling bee update. Yesterday I used one hint. It was for aortle. I was pissed. And then today, of course, got it clean. One of the pangrams was chutzpah. Seth also got it, but he didn't get it clean. I confirmed that via our text chain. I win, he loses. You may have noticed that during the duration of this episode, my audio was dog shit. It's because I forgot the to hit record on my recorder. So it was taken from the Zoom audio. I apologize to everyone again. I'm a mess, you guys, but I'm on the mend. I'm on the mend. I might just be on the mend. You never know. I could be on the mend. This episode wasn't long enough. So I'm gonna stretch it out. I'm gonna stretch it on out. Stretch it on out. Thanks for the voice notes, Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig. Really appreciate you guys. I was in there when you were playing those, but just good stuff. And the fellas, my main mans, Keith, Yorm, Seth. I mean, who could ask for better friends? Just sitting through this whole thing the way you guys did and just listening to them yammer on about this and that it was really heartwarming. The guys are just good guys, you know, they're nice good guys. And that's the reason why it's important to recognize that and just talk about it, you know, right here at the end where it feels like it really should be. Oh. Over. And yet I persist. All right, well, probably gonna go ahead and pass out now.
Yoram
Love to all.
Andy Samberg
Peace and love, Ringo Star. Oh, also, one more thing. Next day, out on the streets of New York, Manhattan. The Big Apple just got queen bee again. It was a monster. 62 words, 2 pangrams. I snapped it off. Took me all damn day. Oh, man, it was worth it. Oh, yeah. I'm just feeling the vibes out here.
Yoram
The Big Apple.
Andy Samberg
Go, Nicks. But I did get it clean multiple times this week, much to Seth's chagrin.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, bummed me out. But I'm happy to talk to you when you haven't. All right. All right. Love you guys.
Andy Samberg
Yeah, I love you guys. Sorry I was late.
Seth Meyers
That's all right.
Yoram
Love you.
Andy Samberg
Later, Arnold.
Yoram
Later, Quaid.
This episode is a loose, highly entertaining conversation between Seth Meyers and The Lonely Island (Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg [appearing late], and Jorma Taccone), joined by Kristen Wiig for much of the show. The group reminisces about SNL Digital Shorts, behind-the-scenes memories from their SNL years, and digresses into everything from sports nostalgia to inside jokes and audience engagement. Special voice notes from Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig add a heartfelt and nostalgic dimension to the episode. While planned to cover the "Party at Mr. Bernard's" Digital Short, they decide to save it for Andy's full participation and instead launch into wide-ranging "minutiae," embracing their tangents and the organic joy of their friendship.
This episode captures the relaxed, affectionate chaos and deep camaraderie of the group. Instead of a tightly structured breakdown of one SNL short, listeners are let into the kind of behind-the-scenes post-show hang where stories unfold organically, in-jokes are immediately spun into running bits, and admiration for SNL cast and crew oozes out, mingling with playful competition, pop culture tips, and genuine affection.
Listeners get:
Episode vibe:
Warm, silly, self-aware, and densely packed with offbeat amusements—a perfect encapsulation of why The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers’ reunion is a gift for comedy and SNL fans.
