Key Discussion Points & Insights

Opening Banter & Podcast Lore

• Start with Playful Chaos:
  The team wastes no time launching into silliness—riffing on the word “titmouse,” podcast fan theories (Akiva laying prone like a Dan Flashes shopper), and pod-specific catchphrases.
• Inside Baseball:
  Running bits about “scrubbing” the podcast for ChatGPT data, fan-favorite alternate podcast concepts, and social media references set a meta tone.

Memorable Quote

• “I'm starting to think these episodes could be a lot shorter.”
  — Andy Samberg (09:56)

The Making of "Boombox" (11:00–46:00)

1. Genesis of the Song (12:00–13:15)

   • Andy describes the song’s inception:
     “...another one that started when I was in the studio listening to beats, vibing to beats. And I thought of that premise to this beat.”
     — Andy Samberg (11:54)
   • Drew Campbell co-produced, giving the song its distinctive '80s throwback feel.

2. Recruiting Julian Casablancas (13:00–15:45)

   • Julian, mysterious frontman of The Strokes and SNL favorite, was the dream feature.
   • “At that time, no one knew anything about the Strokes. They were this, like, mysterious...this cool, sexy, existing thing.”
     — Andy Samberg (13:15)
   • Julian’s creativity set the final direction. He changed the key/melody, giving the song its specific vibe.

3. Studio Session Anecdotes & Julian’s Influence

   • Julian was hands-on:
     “He wanted to change the key. Well, both—yeah. Which was more involved than most people get, which was awesome.”
     — Akiva Schaffer (14:51)
   • The hosts recall the moment the chorus truly rivaled a Strokes record after Julian’s tweaks (15:03).

4. Visual Style & SNL Production

   • Keef (Akiva) discusses color grading, use of slow-mo, and inspiration from music videos.
   • Andy’s “favorite jacket I ever had in anything” and the recurring “boiled goose” motif are dissected with pride and mockery.
   • “We did the jizz in my pants in edit. Little bass thump.”
     — Andy Samberg (32:16)

5. Behind the Video: Locations, Looks, and Laughs

   • Set in a real NYC club on the East River, not a set.
   • The group nerds out over props, wigs, cyberpunk wardrobe, and shoehorns in loving critiques of each shot.
   • Techniques for achieving “magic” slow-motion choruses are revealed, e.g. sped-up playbacks on set.

6. Songwriting & Comedy Process

   • Discussion on simulating untrustworthy narrators, old-school music video tropes, and working through C/D-tier joke drafts (“boiled goose,” “Bartman,” and more).
     • “A lot of great comedy comes from boredom—boredom of yourself and necessity.”
       — Andy Samberg (44:52)

Revisiting "Mondo Butts": The Infamous Lost Sketch (64:10–76:00)

• Introduction & Context

  • A brash sketch co-written by Andy & Rob Klein, featuring dirtbag California hosts ogling average butts and getting comeuppance from a guy in a gorilla suit.

• Breakdown

  • Riffing on the intentionally trashy set, 90s “Wayne’s World” vibes, and the awkwardness of presenting it to a live SNL audience.
  • Meta commentary on how the crass concept masked a clever reversal of expectations, referencing Chekhov and classic comedic structure:
    • “You're watching and you're like, God, these guys are so distasteful. Little do you know that all the writing is them getting their comeuppance.”
      — Seth Meyers (71:15)

• Greco-Roman Set Mystery

  • Unexplained Greek pillars and marble busts spawn extended ridicule (“If we can’t put this sketch online, please take a screen grab!” — Akiva, 68:12).

• Physical Comedy

  • Andy and Jude Law’s characters’ butts being exposed by a gorilla—“poetic justice.”
  • Post-sketch, the group relishes memories of knee slides, set mishaps, and physical gags that could never be staged the same today.

  • Shoutout to Maya Rudolph and stories of changing chords/melodies during the session.
  • Andy, Akiva, and Jorma reflect on Julian’s humility and sweetness: "He's a nice, very humble fellow who's made some of our favorite music of all time." — Akiva Schaffer (59:22)

• The “Lost Verse” of “Boombox" Performed (60:47–61:42)

  • Andy and Akiva perform the omitted verse, then agree the cut was right for pacing.

• Inside Jokes & Legacy

  • Boiled goose, “Say Anything” coat, John Connor hair, “Bartman,” Mario references—episode is thick with SNL and Lonely Island Motifs.
  • Gag on how Maya Rudolph incessantly repeats Andy’s “boiled goose” line to him (45:01).

Transcript

[Andy Samberg]

The Lonely island and Seth Meyer's podcast Shore.

[Seth Meyers]

Can I jump in and start talking to you guys?

[Jorma Taccone]

Fuck yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Let's start.

[Andy Samberg]

Seth. Seth. Let us begin, Seth. Let's do it, Seth. Kick it off, Seth. Hit us in the face.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, well, why don't you start with hit us in the face? Obviously replacing the now famous term hit us in the Titus. I got a lot of grief from our listeners for saying that a titmouse was a mammal. A bird.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, is it really? Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Titmice. Is it? I guess it's both. Right, Right. Still, the plural works the same way.

[Jorma Taccone]

Well, you know what I like to say, Seth. To me, it'll always be offensive.

[Seth Meyers]

Interesting.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yep.

[Seth Meyers]

Do you think I'd get kicked off social media by the federal government if I said hit ice in the titmice?

[Andy Samberg]

Only one way to find out.

[Seth Meyers]

Just throw it up on Social and see what happens.

[Jorma Taccone]

That's our version of social.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it's a weird one because, like, I think it'd be hard. It's, like, kind of hard to be mad about it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's a cute little bird. It's cute right now.

[Andy Samberg]

Tufted titmouse. Yorm, say that 10 times fast.

[Jorma Taccone]

I. I would never. I'm. I'm. I'm personally offended the moment you say it.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, Keev, say it 10 times fast.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No problem. Tufted titmouse. Tufted titmouse. Tufted titmouse. Tufted titmouse. Titmouse. Tufted titmouse. Tufted titmouse.

[Andy Samberg]

You always did have the best verbal dexterity.

[Seth Meyers]

Tufted titmouse. Tufted titmouse. By the way, that was a real Greg stink reaction. Yorm, when he said say it 10 times fast, you're like, oh, I could.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, I couldn't possibly do that.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm busy making a fe. A lot of people, Keef said they now listen to the podcast, assuming you're lying on a couch completely out of energy, like a guy who just shopped at Dan Flash's.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's how I would love to do it. Like I'm being psychoanalyzed, just completely horizontal.

[Jorma Taccone]

But he looks cool.

[Seth Meyers]

As you're super hungry, but you spend all your food on new shirts.

[Akiva Schaffer]

On my per diem. On my per diem.

[Jorma Taccone]

On skater dad clothes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

On my skaterdact. Yep.

[Seth Meyers]

So Yoram and I recorded a very special episode we did that's gonna air Thanksgiving week, but we talked about a few things because we recorded that before this, which is gonna air first. So the timeline's all fucked up, but there's just A couple things we have to bring up here as well. Andy, you noticed. Thanks to Jon Hamm, but you would have noticed anyway. So we've said that the New York Times is sending us messages.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

My name was in a New York Times spelling bee.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

No, I'm sorry. New York Times crossword.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. Very cool. Very cool.

[Andy Samberg]

It was a rebus, too.

[Seth Meyers]

Re. A solo rebus. I mean, if you know, you know. And then.

[Jorma Taccone]

Wait, I don't even know what that means. What's a rebus?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, Yarm.

[Seth Meyers]

Just.

[Jorma Taccone]

Just for the people that are dumb on our pod.

[Seth Meyers]

Again, I really like if you know, you know, it is like, I don't know.

[Jorma Taccone]

Just for. For our slowest buffalo out there.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What is a rebus?

[Andy Samberg]

That'd be the best. Yorm, you should dub yourself over the clip song. If you know, you know.

[Seth Meyers]

But what are you talking about? I don't know. Guys, sorry to bust the flow.

[Jorma Taccone]

Can we go back to verse one?

[Seth Meyers]

Because I didn'.

[Andy Samberg]

I completely agree, but just for posterity.

[Seth Meyers]

What is.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What do you know? Definitely.

[Seth Meyers]

How do you tell us what it is?

[Jorma Taccone]

Fucking Jesus.

[Seth Meyers]

A rebus is when you fill more than one letter in a. In a one box.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, gotcha. Thank you. Okay, great.

[Andy Samberg]

And Seth, you were the clue. So you could almost say I'm Rebus.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Not quite, though.

[Andy Samberg]

You couldn't, but you almost could.

[Seth Meyers]

That was a real. That was a real bucket of ice water from Keev there on. Not quite. Really.

[Andy Samberg]

That's why he's my guy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He left the door open for something.

[Seth Meyers]

Kee's ice bucket challenge is tell a joke that he will actually respond to and not immediately squelch.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, it's improv. It's. It's, it's. It's. No, don't improv.

[Andy Samberg]

No, don't.

[Seth Meyers]

By the way, I'm. I'm just going to come clean and say I was bending over backwards trying to figure out a way to say I'm Rebus. And Andy's was 10x better than what I was going to say.

[Andy Samberg]

Thank you, Sean. Some people appreciate me around here.

[Seth Meyers]

A lot of requests to do a special when next time you guys are busy, do a special Spider League episode of the pod.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, my God.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh.

[Seth Meyers]

Just bring them on main.

[Andy Samberg]

Guys, I actually have personal news on that front.

[Seth Meyers]

Wow.

[Andy Samberg]

Because me and Keev had a fun hang with Tim and Zach the other night and I was saying that I watched them on your show and I felt like as I was watching it that I was kind of jealous and that I wanted to be in Spider Club, even though I Knew it was B.S.

[Seth Meyers]

Also, you're calling it Spider Club and not Spider League. That's going to be Spider League.

[Andy Samberg]

Exactly.

[Jorma Taccone]

Dead giveaway.

[Andy Samberg]

So, yeah, that already sort of had me not on the back foot. But then they were like, dude, I don't know, maybe you should. And then last night at the house, me and my kids saw a big ass spider walking by, and they were like, oh, yeah, there's a spider. And I was like, go, go, run away. And then I took out my phone, zoomed in, and took a picture, and sent it to them. And they sent me back the type of spider it was. And then I said I squished it because the kids were scared. And one of them gave me a thumbs up, the other gave me a thumbs down. And then I said, oh, mixed reaction. And then Zach said, tim paid you the respect of not condescending.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait, so they let the spiders live at spider?

[Andy Samberg]

I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna get into Spider League is what I'm saying.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Spider killers don't get in there. No.

[Jorma Taccone]

Wait. Do you remember what kind of spider it was, though?

[Andy Samberg]

Well, I can show it to you. Which people won't be able to see, but you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, that looks dangerous.

[Jorma Taccone]

I'm glad you realized.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Is that a wolf? Is that a wolf spider?

[Andy Samberg]

They told me they thought it was a mouse spider. That's what Zach pulled.

[Seth Meyers]

Regular or tit? Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

He put it into the app.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

And it identified it as mouse spider.

[Jorma Taccone]

That seems wrong to me. That looks grayer to me.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, the best thing, when we find out that the two of them are just running a scam where every time there's a spider, they just build.

[Akiva Schaffer]

A page, make up a fake spider name just to fuck with Brooks.

[Seth Meyers]

Could be that would be the best way to do this.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What's weird is they kept saying they're getting so rich from it. And I was like, how? And they wouldn't tell us. They're like, don't worry about it. We're making so much money, they're getting paid.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, the other another thing. In the same New York Times crossword, it said this brand had their fans make their super bowl ad, and it was Doritos.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, and I guess they're right away, right? Seth, remember when you said, by the.

[Seth Meyers]

Way, I'm very happy that you're about to hear. I. I teed up Jorma for this. And he guessed, literally. I will say it was very funny. He kept guessing the sponsors of this podcast, he's like, Viori.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, I know it. Don't worry, Airbnb, I've got it, Seth.

[Seth Meyers]

And I'm like, slug being real slow. I'm like, oh, super bowl ad. Super bowl fans made it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So it is Airbnb.

[Seth Meyers]

He's like, term life insurance. I mentioned I was. I was listening to that Geese album a lot, and there was a real disappointment knowing that if Andy would have been there, there was a chance he would have said, when you listen to it too much, does your family say, not a gonk.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, we dropped the ball there, Seth.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, we did. I mean, to have geese, like, just right on the thing.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, yeah, it was too obvious because we've had so much goose content that we just let it keep going.

[Jorma Taccone]

I'd like to give something for the fans to pick up on. Right.

[Andy Samberg]

And then outside of the pod, we, you know, we conferred, and Seth now knows I'm a major geese head, too. But I'm also maybe even more into that solo Dolo Cameron Winter record, so, you know, teach their own. Did you listen to the solo one, Seth?

[Seth Meyers]

Not yet, no. But I really appreciate the suggestion.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, cool. I guess I'll just go fucking fuck myself and die then.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He's. Well, actually, he's a busy guy.

[Seth Meyers]

You might as well go do that, because guess what? I'm about to come at you, my friend.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay?

[Seth Meyers]

I have suffered through so many of these episodes where you're like, I can't believe you cut me from Update. And then a bunch of people rushed to my defense and said, hold up. They cut you from Pop Star? The one chance. That was after the one time they had a chance.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, to put you in.

[Seth Meyers]

They cut you right out.

[Andy Samberg]

Why did we cut you?

[Jorma Taccone]

Because of Update. That's why you kept saying, yeah, the.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Whole thing was a revenge.

[Jorma Taccone]

The minute he was in the edit, he was just like, get that fucker out of here.

[Andy Samberg]

I remember fighting for you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Pay back some face for your thing.

[Seth Meyers]

It was a good.

[Andy Samberg]

I remember fighting for years.

[Seth Meyers]

I. Now I want to. I want to stop the bit to.

[Andy Samberg]

Say it was a good cut, but I disagree.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I can tell you what it is. But one of the reasons. I mean, a lot of the reasons was we rearranged everything. So even the video it was coming after moved around so much.

[Andy Samberg]

No, I remember exactly what it was. It was Connor Farill is on Seth's show, Seth as himself, and he's talking about his song that he keeps saying, sexual freedom for all at the end.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Of Equal Rights at the end, which he does in the movie.

[Andy Samberg]

And Seth as himself is like. And when you wrote it, did you know that that was the slogan for the Man Boy Love Association? And I'm like, you know, I didn't. And it just makes me so sad that no one told me that before I put this.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Or something like that. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

You think he's gonna say, it's so sad that that happens and that that exists. But instead, it's about that no one gave him the heads up, that no one warned you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Which is a very good joke. But I think, honestly, the problem is that people don't know what NAMBLA is. Cause it's not really around anymore, as far as I know.

[Seth Meyers]

Cause everybody got too woke, as you always say.

[Andy Samberg]

Everyone got too woke, Seth. Desert island, mensa or nambla.

[Seth Meyers]

Wait, who else joins me on it?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, Des.

[Seth Meyers]

Desert Island. We've been talking about. What do we talk about when we run out of digital shorts? Someone said we should just. Basically, we've built enough lore that we can just do podcasts about this podcast. And they even wrote out what it would sound like, which is. What's up, breakfast defectors? Time to jav it up with the four shock jocks. Directly from foggy London town. You don't even know how many palms we had to grease to get us here. But we'll stop at nothing to chase them. Clicks. By the way, Andy, how did you do on the bee? Oh, only a tetrafecta Queen bee. Quibby exclusive with no sauce. Not a gonk. But how did you do Quibby? Wade's hit us in the tittos. But don't miss us or you'll meet us at your house. That last part didn't rhyme. Your thorns.

[Jorma Taccone]

I'm so worried that ChatGPT wrote that.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't think we resonate enough to be chat GPT.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm starting to think these episodes could be a lot shorter.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait, Seth, you're telling me that ChatGPT doesn't scrub the pod for info?

[Seth Meyers]

I don't think the pod. I have checked our data feed. We are unscrubbed.

[Jorma Taccone]

No, it's the one thing it doesn't check.

[Seth Meyers]

It was. Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, they got it. Somebody. Who's got. Who's got Sam Alban's number? Somebody's got to have it. Let's get them. Hey, scrub the pod, bud. Lots of great stuff.

[Andy Samberg]

Weird. Incoming. Request for a scrub.

[Seth Meyers]

Scrub it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The first one in history.

[Andy Samberg]

No, this is the only one with chopped liver. You can't scrub us.

[Seth Meyers]

Give us a scrub.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We're not going to sue you don't worry. Just scrub it.

[Jorma Taccone]

Busy working on singularity.

[Seth Meyers]

Nothing you do is useful to others. That's our chat. GPT talks, right? This is not applicable. All right. It's a Jude Law show. Guys, guys. And man, oh, man. Jude Lawson.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Charmer. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Two things that got cut from the show that I think about. Anything that made the show that we'll get to. But first, let's talk about boombox.

[Jorma Taccone]

Boom box.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Here's the part of the show it was playing the beginning of the song. Then you know how we always, like, tease. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

We all imagined the song. But now I feel like it might.

[Jorma Taccone]

Be better if you just leave the dead air inspire.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Leave that part.

[Andy Samberg]

We're all used to listening.

[Seth Meyers]

Wait, you thought that's what was gonna happen?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, I was waiting for it to start playing. I thought you were referenced to Boombox play clip. I thought this was a professional thing.

[Andy Samberg]

Instead it was all of us just going slack job.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It sounded like Seth was throwing to a cliff.

[Seth Meyers]

I thought you guys were so dead eyed, I thought you had frozen.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I thought you were throwing to a clip. Seth, you do it all day for a living. I was like, here it comes.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't know, man. I don't care.

[Andy Samberg]

We're all sleepy boys.

[Seth Meyers]

God damn it. I thought every time I try to start a clip, you guys are always like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Shouldn't we talk about our inspiration?

[Andy Samberg]

Well, we should.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

So I literally started singing. Singing for you. This is the part where we talk about boombox.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

There you go. Where to begin? I mean, I think maybe we skipped it when we talked about incredibly bad because we knew we would do an episode about it. But this was another one that started when I was in the studio listening to beats, vibing to beats. And I thought of that premise to this beat.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is another Drew Campbell, right?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, I forgot it was Drew. But of course it is.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Similar. That's why it feels like a mother lover y kind of thing. But predating it.

[Andy Samberg]

And I don't remember if it was one or both of you guys, but I remember being like, this is my idea for it. It's like, you know how in the 80s it was like a boombox was the cure for everything.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I think we were both. I think all three of us worked on this.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, we were all. We were all great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And we're in that encino house. We're just living it up in the.

[Jorma Taccone]

Shittiest room in the house.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yep. Just, just, just hot. As.

[Jorma Taccone]

Hot as balls.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Making tunes now. What I Don't remember. Andy is. Did Julian. Like, we've talked about how he came and would be playing tennis and stuff. Was that all after he recorded and saw the house, did he. Did he come for the first time, or did he come.

[Seth Meyers]

Julian Casablancas from the Strokes.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes. Sorry. Did he come to the house for the first time beforehand, just as a friend, and then we roped him into a song, or did he come for the song?

[Andy Samberg]

First time was for the song.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Got it.

[Andy Samberg]

And we were friendly because they had been on, obviously, and we were big fans.

[Jorma Taccone]

We were psyched to be the show.

[Andy Samberg]

And then we were like, I wonder if he would do one. Cause he's always so friendly. And we were like, this would be a perfect one for him if he was into it. But we were like, they're so. Like, at that time, no one knew anything about the Strokes. They were this, like, mysterious. This cool, sexy, existing thing.

[Jorma Taccone]

Still are. Still are.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, I mean, we know a little more now.

[Jorma Taccone]

Sure, sure. Less mysterious.

[Andy Samberg]

They're even sexier than we could have possibly imagined. Rhythm section. So goddamn tight.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, it's so tight.

[Andy Samberg]

But he was into it. And we did this. The thing we always did.

[Seth Meyers]

A big fan. Not to sound like Lorne Michaels loves the show. I made a big SNL fan. Julian.

[Andy Samberg]

Julian.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

And, you know, they're New York boys.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

They had probably played SNL twice. Do you think it was their second time when we were there, or even third time? Like, was it our first? Because they definitely played when we were there. That's when we got to meet them.

[Andy Samberg]

We weren't there for their first, and then they had already come back twice, I think, while we were there.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So they were an SNL fave. But we didn't know that he was super into comedy until we met them.

[Jorma Taccone]

Correct.

[Seth Meyers]

I knew he loved the Horatio Christmas song, which I think they covered.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Right.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes, he did eventually do a version of.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes, he did do it. It's a great version of that song.

[Andy Samberg]

But, Seth, what can I tell you? You know Factoid, originally recorded with my temp singing for the chorus. And when Julian got the song, he was like, I love this, but I want to change the key. And we were like, what. What is that?

[Jorma Taccone]

Was that. Was that the first time? That was the first time that we did that. Right?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

I remember being like, oh, well, beyond the key.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He wanted to change the melody.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, both.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Which was more involved than most people get, which was awesome. Do you remember the original melody? It's gone from my brain.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, it's been erased from our hard drives and our brains. Our brain hard drives.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't totally remember it.

[Seth Meyers]

He.

[Andy Samberg]

He made it better, basically. As soon as he started doing it, we were like, oh, I see. That's what makes his songs, his songs. Like, he has his own magic.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

And as soon as he started do, when he changed it, I remember being a little bit bummed because the verse parts I thought sounded a little more minor key or something. Like, it sounded a little less poppy at first.

[Jorma Taccone]

Or was it low energy? I felt like it was slightly slowed it down.

[Andy Samberg]

I can't remember. But within seconds of him starting to put his part on it, I was like, oh, this is about to be so much better as a song. And it did turn out to be that. And it turned out, I think, because of the stuff he did and how he sounds singing on it musically. One of my favorite things we've done.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He also played guitar. He did remember.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So he had to talk to Drew on the phone and they started speaking music which none of us knew. Like, literally going, okay, and then you're going to a G sharp. Will you go to a G flat or whatever? Like, literally spelled out to him the notes he wanted the new melody to go. Yes. And then he got out his guitar and did those little, like the Strokes signature style guitar in tons of different layers of it on top of it. So those choruses truly bloomed.

[Jorma Taccone]

How did we record that part just on our microphone? I don't remember.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I think he just plugged a guitar straight into our little.

[Jorma Taccone]

Into the little shitty.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That little M box. Just right into it.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes. He jacked right in. I remember he was like, Neo. He jacked in.

[Seth Meyers]

The minute he said that, I thought about Neo. Oh, we are so in sync.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I thought about something else that I don't want to talk about.

[Seth Meyers]

Don't own up to it.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, man, he jacked in. So clean, so relatable.

[Seth Meyers]

Four times strokes been on the show.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Four times at that point or total?

[Seth Meyers]

2002-2006-2011-2020. They weren't the musical guests this show. Am I correct?

[Andy Samberg]

Correct.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. So this was just because it was been on the album.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't remember who it was, but I bet they were absolute trash.

[Akiva Schaffer]

All right, now let's Pearl Jam. You son of a.

[Andy Samberg]

No, I love them. I take it back. I was wrong.

[Seth Meyers]

Took a big swing and the swing came right back at you.

[Andy Samberg]

I regretted it immediately. Dang.

[Jorma Taccone]

Usually they have such trash bands on snl.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I love you, Eddie.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm so sorry, man. I didn't know it was you guys.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait, I might have just. I might. Guys. The one place I hadn't searched was my email.

[Jorma Taccone]

We're looking for the. The Boombox demo with Andy singing.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, no.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, so close.

[Akiva Schaffer]

But I will say there's a lot of the word boombox in hot rod emails. Pushes play on a huge boombox. A dinky beat plays.

[Julian Casablancas]

Was that.

[Jorma Taccone]

Was that Richardson at the pool?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

Dinky. Yeah, that's exactly what happened in that scene. Well, speaking of not dinky beats, Drew Campbell's beat for Boombox was excellent.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, really nice.

[Jorma Taccone]

Thanks. Transition back.

[Seth Meyers]

Jude Law had a very famous first musical guest. Does anybody remember who this is the second time he hosted? Who the musical guest was the first time? Jude Law, Pearl Jam, also Ashley Simpson.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, he had a memorable episode.

[Seth Meyers]

He had a memorable. I remember Jude Law and will not surprise anybody. I think was very endearing and sweet with her at good nights because he sort of gave her a big old hug, like live tv, you know, and everybody's like, ah, who could stay mad?

[Akiva Schaffer]

And everyone was like, ah, we're not going to forget this ever. What jerks.

[Seth Meyers]

Support for the Lonely island and Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb. You know, I'm about to take a trip with my parents, my boys. We're going to go to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We're very excited because it's really nice to be in somebody's home where their personal touches are part of the weekend. You're going to stay there. And then me and the boys got thinking. We got plenty personal touches at our house as well. If people, for example, loved the animated show the Octonauts, I'd highly recommend you spend a weekend in our apartment because, hey, if we're going to make memories while traveling, why not let someone make their own memories in our home? Think about it. If you host your home on Airbnb while you're traveling, it's a great way to offset some of the costs of your own trip. Andy would like you to stay with him, but not via Airbnb. He just loves Quaid army so much. Just a little rat a tat tat on the door, and you're more than welcome to stay. That's not binding what I just said. The extra income you make can be put towards an upcoming trip, a splurge you've been eyeing, home improvement projects, etc. And if you've got a lot of trips ahead of you, hosting is a pretty cool and unique way to make some money back Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how [e-mail] host guys there.

[Jorma Taccone]

Are so many stressors in this world today. About to be more holidays are coming up. Travel the stress that it causes on our system. And that's why support for this podcast comes from AG1. AG1 is a daily foundational nutrition formula designed to support energy, immune and defense, and gut health. All sorts of good things. I've been actually taking AG1 for it's been at least a month now and I feel great. This is not I feel great about my pelvis. My pelvis is still very painful and my back is painful, but I don't think that has anything to do with AG1. AG1 has made me feel energetic without the way that coffee causes you to crash. And it's been great. I actually had a friend of mine, I'm not going to name names, Will Forte come over to my house and actually steal packets from me. And he kept saying, can I have these? And I was like, well okay, sure. I'm going to say no, but I am in a wheelchair right now. It seems like a weird thing to steal a guy's nutrition supplements, but you know, that's again, some of the stress I'm talking about. Your friends can stress you out. Also, darker, shorter days may throw off your rhythm. What better way than taking a superfood that has B vitamins that support that energy to feel better? And prebiotics, probiotics and enzymes help support regularity and gut resilience as well. All things you need. So head on down to drinkag1.com island and get a free welcome kit with an AG1 flavor sampler. This is what I got. And a bottle of vitamin D3 plus K2. When you first subscribe, that's drinkag1.com island. Tell them yorm sent you. You can't put that in there and they don't allow for that. If we knew more about our sleep, what would we do differently? Would we go to bed at a consistent time or take steps to reduce interruptions to our sleep?

[Seth Meyers]

With the all new Sleep Score, Apple.

[Jorma Taccone]

Watch measures your bedtime consistency, interruptions and sleep duration. Then every morning it combines these factors into an easy to understand score from 1 to 100. So you'll know how to take the quality of your sleep from good to excellent.

[Seth Meyers]

Introducing the new Sleep Score on Apple.

[Jorma Taccone]

Watch iPhone 11 or later required.

[Seth Meyers]

Hello friends.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Guess who? That's right, it is I, the replacer.

[Seth Meyers]

Once again, I've been called on so.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You can Play the new Call of Duty Black Ops 7 with three expansive.

[Andy Samberg]

Modes, 18 multiplayer maps, and the tastiest.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Zombie gameplay you've ever freaking seen.

[Andy Samberg]

Call of Duty Black Ops 7, available now. Rated M for mature. I feel like it wrote pretty easy and we were giggling when we were writing it and liking the concept and, you know, it's our classic taking a trope and expanding on it and making it into something new. And it really took off when Julian showed up. I can't really stress that enough.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, I think you're going to say it took off when the Boyle goose thing happened.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, and it's hard. We can't undersell what level of Strokes fans. We were like you and Yorn before me, but then I joined in way before we got SNL. Like in 2002.

[Andy Samberg]

When is the Sick came out?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Where it was just the album getting played over and over and over and over and over. Yep. So just even being in the room when he came to our house and starts singing and it's him. And you know, we had gone to their concerts and he's. His voice was coming out. We were like, holy, it's him singing. Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

On that album, are there any ones that aren't sort of singles? I feel like it's almost all singles. Maybe there's one.

[Seth Meyers]

It's nuts. Yeah, it's nuts.

[Andy Samberg]

You're talking about Incredibou.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sponsor Voice]

That.

[Akiva Schaffer]

To hit after hit.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm pretty sure Old Saloon was a jazz man. First single Saxman. Seth. Now who's fucking up?

[Jorma Taccone]

It's like you don't even like us.

[Seth Meyers]

Fighter Club's worse.

[Andy Samberg]

It's Spider League. You know what? Fuck you. I'm so sorry, Seth. I'm sorry, Eddie. Better.

[Julian Casablancas]

Fuck.

[Seth Meyers]

Let's go back to that moment. We were thinking the same thing about Neo.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm so goddamn sleepy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's 4:30. It's 4:30.

[Seth Meyers]

Two Pacific Time in the afternoon. FYI for our listener.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Do you remember at the after party, Eddie Vedder came and sat at our table and it was a thrill.

[Andy Samberg]

I do remember that, Keith. I remember Vedder coming and sitting with us and us being geeked as hell.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We were just geeked. He just chose our table and just came to hang. And we were not with. I don't think Julian was at the show, was he? Uh, no, Julian wasn't even with hello, boys.

[Andy Samberg]

We were like, fuck yeah, man.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, we're at the table. That got Vettered.

[Seth Meyers]

Vettered. That Vetter was a great vibe.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, my God. He was the best.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. He had a bottle. His bottle of red wine. And Liz, my wife, was the massive. Like, in high school. Had his picture on the wall and she went fully mute. Could not strike up a conversation. Like, then she knew the Lord.

[Seth Meyers]

She was like yorm at the beginning of every podcast recording.

[Andy Samberg]

Huh.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Couldn't get her mic to work, if you know what I mean.

[Jorma Taccone]

See, Keith, Liz really has a type then.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, yeah, me and Vetter. Same. Because we get mistaken for each other a lot.

[Julian Casablancas]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Almost identical.

[Seth Meyers]

There was a Pearl Jam in a sketch in this show. I don't know why I keep asking you guys quiz trivia questions like, you know anything about the show you worked on.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We were very busy on Boombox this week.

[Seth Meyers]

You were very busy on. Do you remember there was a really funny Bobby Moynihan scene that played off that famous Twilight Zone episode where, like, a little Gremlin's on the wing.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

And it was a really great sketch. And at one point, Jude Law looks out and the Gremlin's there with all of Pearl Jam, and they're all just, like, standing on the wing with him. And then the best was like, he sees him and he's like, ugh. And then they all do the same move that the Gremlin had done the whole thing, like, in unison, and it's great.

[Andy Samberg]

Seth, are you sure it was Twilight Zone and it's not that fucking movie from the 80s.

[Seth Meyers]

It was Twilight League. Fuck.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He found a way to get you.

[Andy Samberg]

Obviously. We all know it was Twilight Zone. Okay.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I just don't get why they're getting rich from it. It's just spiders and photos.

[Andy Samberg]

How are they printing money?

[Akiva Schaffer]

But they don't want to share.

[Andy Samberg]

Wait, really quick before we move on. Seth, last week's snl, what did you dislike the most?

[Seth Meyers]

I. I will say that this is. It was like the SNL. I mean, I started September 2001. That album was out because they came January 02, probably. That was like the. Oh, my God, I live in New York. Everybody I know is listening to this album. This album is the best thing ever.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Every after party and stuff. I can only imagine.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Yep, yep. It's really well documented in Meet Me in the Bathroom.

[Seth Meyers]

Meet Me in the Bathroom by Lizzie Goodman.

[Akiva Schaffer]

A little trivia. The mixer guy that named Brian Sperber, who mixed our entire incredibata album, did such a good job on this song that Julian was like, who mixed this? And hired him. And he did Julian's really, really, really good solo album.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And It's a great album.

[Jorma Taccone]

And Sperber never thanked us.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

Never liked the.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What a weird dude. Knew he was a nasty.

[Andy Samberg]

Why you change, man?

[Seth Meyers]

That's not the Sperber I know. The Sperber I know was gracious Sperber change.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh my God. It's so late. It's so late.

[Seth Meyers]

It's 4:30 on the west Coast.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I've never been on something this late. This is crazy.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, Keith, you want to take the honors of playing this thing?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

The helm. Take the digital helm.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, I do.

[Seth Meyers]

I just want to get through this so we can get to Mondo Butts. Can we just speed this up?

[Andy Samberg]

I knew that was never publicly spoken about Boombox Seth. It's one of our good ones.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. It's a. It's a criteria.

[Seth Meyers]

And you and you should never publicly speak about Mondo Butts, which is why I want to get to it.

[Andy Samberg]

We're going to talk about it so much. Have we already talked about it once or.

[Seth Meyers]

No, it feels like we have. Or maybe I think about it often because Mondo turns up in the old spelling bee a lot.

[Andy Samberg]

It sure does. And every time I'm all, what could have been.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Do you think it's a Mondo Butz reference from dress? They were at dress and saw.

[Jorma Taccone]

I mean, fucking clearly, dude. The way they're going. The amount of references they have.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, this. It did go to dress twice. Is this the second time?

[Andy Samberg]

Me not know. Yhorm.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Do you know?

[Jorma Taccone]

Yes, it was.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So here's some other things with Boombox 1, because we'll have cut it all out. I just want credit. I've spent a half hour before this going through every hard drive trying to find the version with Andy singing and I couldn't.

[Jorma Taccone]

The only one who does research, the only fucking person.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Thank you.

[Jorma Taccone]

Thank you, Keev. Good job.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Number two. Everybody that's a fan of the album might notice that there's an extra verse.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And there's not the verse in the video we did.

[Andy Samberg]

Now we're getting to it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Makeba, we did shoot that verse and we edited it.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And I believe it was at dress and then we was at dress. The video's not progressing fast enough that we need to get to the old folks home.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And we cut it. So when Kevin Miller does join the pod, guys, stay tuned. You won't want to miss this because when he joins, he's going to go dig up Dress and we will play the video and include the video. That little chunk of the cut verse, the famous the cut verse, the famous lost verse. And now I have not seen that since. We did it either. And it probably stinks.

[Andy Samberg]

The Jimmy Hoffa's body of Versus cut from SNL shorts.

[Seth Meyers]

The good news ke it can't be worse than Mondo Butts. So it was not the worst thing cut from Jesus H. Christ.

[Andy Samberg]

We chose to cut it, Seth. We have integrity.

[Seth Meyers]

When Mondo Butts got cut, did you think you'd gotten a raw deal?

[Andy Samberg]

I'm sure I was so mad.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, here we go. Boombox.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, wait. Should we play it with laughs? We should play with laughs.

[Seth Meyers]

Sorry. Yeah, and I do. Just later on when we're playing Mondo Butts, there's not an option to play it with laughs. So don't ask.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait, wait, it wasn't. Wait, wait. So it was at dress, but there's no laughs. And you can't. Don't be like.

[Seth Meyers]

Play the version with laughs. Like there's a full studio. We can't do it. We can't.

[Andy Samberg]

But if you can access the dress rehearsal from the server completely, then.

[Julian Casablancas]

Right.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No. His point is that there was a full studio audience watching Mondo Butts. There were no laughs. And there's no way to put laughs in there because they didn't give them to you.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, I see. He was being funny.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, I was. I could tell that it had gone over your heads and I was looking at my phone.

[Jorma Taccone]

He was being cruel is what he was.

[Andy Samberg]

Here's what I'll say to you, Seth. I can't wait to watch it. Because I bet you there's a lot of laughs.

[Seth Meyers]

There's some laughs.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's.

[Seth Meyers]

By the way, I want you to know, Andy, it was one of those ones I laugh. And again, I love how much we're talking about something we're gonna get to. I laughed so much harder than I thought I would. Watch again.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, great. Look at what's the most replayed parts of this. So first off, it's the classic shot from the COVID of you guys holding up fingerless gloves. People wanna screen cap that. But then it's old people tongue kissing. Oh, there's those claps.

[Jorma Taccone]

They love it. They already love it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, oh.

[Andy Samberg]

Should I do that over it?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm doing the jizz in my pants thing on that thing. Imagine in your mind a posh country club.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, can we stop?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

I mean, first off, your sunglasses.

[Andy Samberg]

Sunglasses have, like, rotating lights built into them. That's not.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, it has. It has the Knight Rider lights.

[Andy Samberg]

So fucking dope.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait, are they going yeah, they're going. Oh, yeah. They're going.

[Andy Samberg]

My favorite thing ever.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's like Kit talking on your face.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You know, before everyone had ring lights. Lights at home.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Which is a modern part of humanity since, you know, everyone became an influencer and whatever. They were only seen in music videos because movies, of course, can't. You can't see lighting in a movie, or else you're taken out of the illusion. But music videos are all, you know, lights and being cool. And so you would see ring lights in the reflections and glasses. And it was a cool music video thing.

[Jorma Taccone]

Are you wearing a. Are you wearing a wig? Andy, Is that a wig?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

It's got lines in the side. It's a different color.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, it's fucking great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's one of my favorites that you ever had. Me too. And your Terminator jacket.

[Seth Meyers]

Yorm crushes it without fast. He knows it's a wig. Like, all it needs to be is, like, four ways that it's totally different from your hair. And he knows the reason.

[Jorma Taccone]

The reason that I.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This guy's on an episode of you Burnt.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

You're really taking it to us.

[Seth Meyers]

You guys are in the burn zone tonight.

[Andy Samberg]

When we watched Ross, Trent Jorm was like, that one's gotta be a win.

[Jorma Taccone]

Here's the thing, Zeb. It looks kind of like my hair. So in my mind, I'm like, wait a minute, I'm not looking at a mirror.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Did you take my hair? This whole look is kind of a John Connor future cyberpunk John Connor. Is that correct to say?

[Andy Samberg]

Definitely.

[Seth Meyers]

I think that's fair. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

And I also will say, my dream for this was to have a giant wall of speakers. And they came through so correct. And it looks awesome.

[Seth Meyers]

Old school speakers.

[Jorma Taccone]

Love it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And we were doing the jizz in my pants in edit. Little bass thump.

[Andy Samberg]

Yep. Which I love. And you also did a little zippy speed up and losing frames on my head. Going up at the top. Just giving it all that extra little snap. A lot of Keef sauce.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Let's see that.

[Andy Samberg]

That.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You're like a robot. They're like depression era poor. They're like from the. They're from the dust bowl.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Like a little bit dust bowl, a little bit Christmas Carol. They're not good. They're not doing well.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, there's that. Look how good.

[Jorma Taccone]

That's a really good goose. That looks so good.

[Akiva Schaffer]

All they eat is sauerkraut and boiled goose. Look at that.

[Seth Meyers]

We talked about your goose motif. Did we overlook this one or did we?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, no, it was prominent in that conversation.

[Jorma Taccone]

Nice dsat on that shot too, Keev.

[Andy Samberg]

Hey, nice dsat, Keeve.

[Jorma Taccone]

Did this kid really took that color out?

[Seth Meyers]

Made hella depressing and on purpose. As opposed to Sergio, which was all up.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That was. That was just. No color correction. That was just zero thought.

[Andy Samberg]

Or was it intentional?

[Seth Meyers]

It doesn't matter if it looks the same. It's about intention.

[Jorma Taccone]

Was it actual filmmaking?

[Akiva Schaffer]

What's on the floor? Is it a bunch of confetti? Glitter, glitter, glitter. There's no way these people will never cut loose. But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high and what happened.

[Andy Samberg]

Next will blow your mind.

[Seth Meyers]

Everything got out of control.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The music was so interesting.

[Jorma Taccone]

That fucking lady's killing it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And now you're doing your say anything.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, say anything coat, but all.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Rolled up and it's like a shiny.

[Jorma Taccone]

Kind of spacey and shiny.

[Seth Meyers]

A little more metal.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, exactly.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm not gonna shy away from it. There's a little bit of Rufus from Bill and Ted's happening for sure.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, it looks a little bit like a coat that was in Space Olympics too.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, no, this is very different.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This guy is like a time traveler.

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, same producer made the beat, though.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I love, love the atmosphere and the thing tonight we're really doing it here because we knew it was something we really believed in and Julian was coming. We wanted to do right by him and the song.

[Andy Samberg]

This place wasn't a set, by the way. This was that awesome actual club that was like on the East River. Do you remember that?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh yeah, I know that place.

[Akiva Schaffer]

How great.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, I remember you, Keev, at one point saying that in music videos you liked when if it was narrative that you liked narrative stuff. Going to slow mo always.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, that became our signature move until we decided it was overdone.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Where like anything where there's not someone saying the words wasn't slow and anything. They were saying the words. Words is not. But then in this one, Julian's also in slow even when he's singing.

[Jorma Taccone]

Right.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We did the. The age old trick that we will put here because it's not a secret, which is when you do certain music videos, it's harder in rap because people can't, you know, rap that fast, but you put the music into higher speed. So when you're on set, it sounds a little like Alvin and the Chipmunks, which we've brought up on before. Three albums.

[Jorma Taccone]

Three or three albums.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Three albums and you speed it up. And then you also film at that same speed. And so when you play back in slow mo, it plays back actually at real time and everything looks a little magical.

[Jorma Taccone]

We've even figured that out for Snapchats. I remember before, like, like where we would actually figure out what Snapchat was shooting at or make videos on our iPhones and then you'd be like, for social media, you're like, whoa, how'd they do that on a Snapchat?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, right, they did. Where they would slow down but sync it up. Yeah, yeah, but it's a classic of the genre of music videos when you think things look a little magical. So Julian's choruses are all done that way.

[Andy Samberg]

Yep. And I remember on set it being.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

And everyone in the background dancing. Like it was very funny to look at in real time.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Do we have a fan on his hair? I would assume we do. So you really notice. But let's see.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, I hope we had a. Hope we had a professional hairstylist.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

He's such a fucking cool looking dude.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We didn't want to mess up his hair. That's smart.

[Seth Meyers]

And you walked up to him Yoram and just pointed his head and said, deaf. A wig. Oh.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Immediately he walked through the whole restaurant. Wig, wig. Real quick.

[Jorma Taccone]

You're fake.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You're fake.

[Jorma Taccone]

And impossible.

[Seth Meyers]

Impossible.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Die job, die job. Here we go. Is the.

[Andy Samberg]

It's my favorite jacket I ever had in anything.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is for the people listening in their car. It's the one with like fur lined leather with like red. Did you. Did they put those like red things around your arms?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I think I requested them.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, Just extra stuff. Yeah, it's so good.

[Seth Meyers]

And then a chain, a big chain kind of shoulder baggy type strap.

[Andy Samberg]

I should have just dressed like this normally. What was I doing?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Was I taking it so seriously?

[Jorma Taccone]

And you're still in the wig in this one.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh my God.

[Seth Meyers]

Hell yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

No, they.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is when he was allowed to cut his hair normal. Lauren said, all right, that looked good. Yeah, let's keep it for the show.

[Jorma Taccone]

For second verse, we just changed it.

[Andy Samberg]

I will say Yorm.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Speaking of real hair versus fake, I had lines in junior high. Did this again. Cause I thought it was funny. And then by the time we did Pop Star, I enjoyed how I looked in boombox so much that I was like, I should do it for real.

[Jorma Taccone]

And did I keep debating whether I should do it?

[Andy Samberg]

Do it now.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's the thing. I go to these Dominican barbers around the Corner. And like all of the pictures on the wall just get me inspired. I'm like, fuck, I should do that.

[Seth Meyers]

It's granted.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's pictures of like 14 year olds.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You're stuck, you're bedridden. Cut your hair however you want. Exactly.

[Jorma Taccone]

Keev. Yeah, freak. Flat five, however you say that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Okay, here we go. Dance spirits go down while profits expand the cops or the dealers who's got the juice? Just look at your mouth there. But there's we.

[Jorma Taccone]

We passed my. Maybe my favorite line of the song, which is the big Apple where people never dance.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yep.

[Jorma Taccone]

Just like this untrustworthy narrator.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, just like just. Just blowing right by a huge.

[Andy Samberg]

So many bummers. Every part. Who's got the Juice also is just so whack.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He has to set up the foundation for his story. Otherwise it's not going to work.

[Andy Samberg]

Apple. Where people never dance Spirits go down.

[Akiva Schaffer]

While profits expand the cops or the dealers who's got the juice?

[Andy Samberg]

The street vendors pedaling the boiled goose. Goose.

[Jorma Taccone]

That guy's killing it. The guy's selling boiled goose. I never really looked at him.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Bo, get your boy. You go.

[Seth Meyers]

He's selling you one and he's already screaming down the street to sell the next one.

[Andy Samberg]

God, it looks awful too.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it's a real. It's a real light beige on that goose.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Ke.

[Jorma Taccone]

Ke. Do you think you windowed that and then desatted the goose?

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, it is boiled.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Dude, this video looks so good. I think we professionally color corrected Keev.

[Andy Samberg]

Keev. Did you Sergio the goose?

[Seth Meyers]

Did you Sergio the goose? Be honest.

[Akiva Schaffer]

But do think we color corrected this? Yes. I'm not sure.

[Jorma Taccone]

That shot looks pretty good, but I. I don't think that that would be impossible for.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We could vignette it.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't know though, cuz we shot it at SNL that week. I don't think we were that deep into doing Di.

[Jorma Taccone]

I think we color corrected that at.

[Akiva Schaffer]

A certain point we got like. I just had sex and stuff was that week. And. And I. I remember finishing staying up all night, you know, with every. With you guys Friday night and running to Company 3 at Saturday morning to get.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, maybe you did that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So it. We did start doing that, but I don't know if we did it here.

[Jorma Taccone]

I don't know about on this one, but that shot does look like maybe.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, this might have been. This might have been us. It's not obvious to me.

[Andy Samberg]

Also, we're from the Bay.

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay. Since Andy's going back, Andy mentioned something that I really love, which Is the song Makeba by AC alone. And it's hard for us not to occasionally say, I love making love to my makeeba. To Akiva. Okay, keep going, keep going.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Keep. That is the chorus of it. But then Jonah calls me mamoeba and I don't know. I don't know if that's an AC alone.

[Andy Samberg]

That's something else.

[Jorma Taccone]

That's a deeper. That's a aclon. B side.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, I don't think that's right.

[Jorma Taccone]

Mba.

[Akiva Schaffer]

They'll never get along till I bust out my boot box and play this song.

[Seth Meyers]

The music washed away all the.

[Jorma Taccone]

Advances.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's me. God damn. Yeah, he's got two of them in his hands and he's just feeling it.

[Jorma Taccone]

He's got some fingerless gloves, too.

[Seth Meyers]

Just some real limp geese.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We really put us in as criminals in a lot of these. Like, this is definitely not the only time I've been a criminal in one typ casting. Am I right? Definitely times where you've been the criminal.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait, look at your face here, Andy. So again, people at home. Andy is holding the boombox looking like point blank at a businessman. Just look. Staring at him like he hates his guts. While the businessman loses it. Dancing.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Giving him the jams.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, it's really good. That's really good.

[Andy Samberg]

Setting him free.

[Jorma Taccone]

Whose idea was the glitter? Because it looks kick ass on the floor.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh. And when it's falling on him.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah, it's awesome. But it's awesome for the floor too. When Andy. Because I thought it was water.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, we knew we were going to do this slow mo thing, so I think then we were just trying to figure out shit to throw. How you. Yeah, how you would know he's in slow mo. Because if. If he's against nothing, it just kind of gives his face kind of an interesting move and. Yeah. And then we just were like, drop glitter and shine light at it. And then the ones on the floor, I think is a happy accident that happened because we dropped a bunch of glasses.

[Seth Meyers]

Glitter.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

It looks great.

[Jorma Taccone]

I. I interrupted. The best. The second best line. First best line coming right here.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it's the best one.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Just a reminder. It's Fred wrapped in a flag of Spain.

[Andy Samberg]

It's Fred doing the Bartman wearing a Bartman T shirt. But also, in my opinion, doing a very accurate Bartman man.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Like he looks like he's in the Simpsons somehow doing it.

[Jorma Taccone]

Do you want to describe what the Bartman was, Andy?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, everyone knows.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Everyone knows.

[Jorma Taccone]

The Bart.

[Andy Samberg]

Google that.

[Jorma Taccone]

Our audience.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Everybody does.

[Andy Samberg]

Does anyone not know what the Bartman is?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Hit us in the Titus.

[Andy Samberg]

Look it up, guys.

[Seth Meyers]

You always said that was your favorite thing of the Simpsons ever. Oh, yeah. Became a thing.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Bartman changed comedy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I like the one where Lisa was singing the blues.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. Purist.

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, I was the age set where I did love the Bartman.

[Seth Meyers]

Of course, I did, too.

[Andy Samberg]

I was like, I can't. What? They did a song and a video and I was so fucking hyped. And you grow up and you're like, yeah. No, more like Homer and Mo. That's who I relate to.

[Jorma Taccone]

Now.

[Seth Meyers]

You were the Bartman and now you're Mo.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, now I'm Barney.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No, the show's been on the barn.

[Seth Meyers]

You've grown into the most saddest character on the show.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Check back in when we're Grandpa.

[Andy Samberg]

You know, that's my monologue audition. My monologue I auditioned with. And I was like, when I was a kid, I was the Bartman. Now I'm just a fucking Barney or a Mo.

[Jorma Taccone]

All the guys are verge of suicide characters.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Oh, hey, Hoba.

[Andy Samberg]

Why are you talking like that? This is how I talk now.

[Seth Meyers]

You're gonna tell your grandkids I wasn't always like this.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Poured now to an old folks home with the elderly get tossed on their brittle bones or at least a stealing there's no excuse Every day for lunch.

[Andy Samberg]

They eat boiled G. All right, so.

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay, okay. So how did we come to that?

[Seth Meyers]

I kind of forgot that he says.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Boiled goose like that.

[Andy Samberg]

I. I think I remember exactly how it happened.

[Jorma Taccone]

Your. It was a joke. It was you doing a joke. I clearly. That's not going to be in the song joke, right?

[Andy Samberg]

No, that's not what it was. It was. Especially considering there's a whole other verse that was omitted here. We had hit boiled goose three times already, Right. And we did it here. And we all agreed. Listening back, we were like, it doesn't feel like boiled goose is like. It felt like diminish. Diminishing returns.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It was too many times.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

And I. I don't know if it was me just trying it or you guys suggesting it, but we were like, we need to try something different with it.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

And that was what happened happened.

[Jorma Taccone]

And that, you know. Hey, a lot of great comedy comes from boredom.

[Andy Samberg]

Boredom of yourself and necessity. I would say me saying boiled goose like that is the joke. Our friend Maya Rudolph says to me the most of anything I've done.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, it's really special.

[Jorma Taccone]

I Like to say that boredom, though, is the mother of comedy. Right?

[Akiva Schaffer]

All right, it does. It does apply to the thing that we do talk about. And I talked about a lot of Naked Gun of. Like, when a joke is a B as opposed to an A, you still let it slide a lot of the times. But when something's a C or a D or an F, that's the one you go and work on. And then that's the ones that end up being the best jokes in a thing. Like the broken ones, the dangerous ones are the ones that are okay because you just let those pass. Yeah, but the. But this one, where it sucked because it was boombox, then becomes the best thing in the whole thing.

[Andy Samberg]

So I guess what you're saying, Akiva, is that if someone's working with you, you welcome all kinds. The broken ones, the dreamers.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, yeah, you could say that. Keep going.

[Seth Meyers]

The once Bart's now Barneys.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Return them to their Bartman face.

[Seth Meyers]

You get real close to Andy sometime and say, can I talk to Bartman? I know he's in there.

[Jorma Taccone]

That's what you said to Liam, right? All the time.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Let me talk to you again. I'm getting a lot of crusty.

[Jorma Taccone]

Liam, Liam, we gotta see.

[Seth Meyers]

We're dealing with the C here.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I gotta get.

[Jorma Taccone]

I gotta get to Bartman.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is more something in post.

[Andy Samberg]

I haven't heard Bartman's voice in a long time, Keith.

[Akiva Schaffer]

A long time. All right, we're in the cafeteria, right? The old NBC cafeteria that we've shot. Many, many. But look how great it looks compared to.

[Seth Meyers]

It looks great.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, it doesn't look like that at all.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is where you punched Dave Gro and. And Taylor Hawkins. This is where Stone broke her arm.

[Jorma Taccone]

Laser cats were shot.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The firelight stuff. The laser cat. Lindsay Lohan was sitting there.

[Jorma Taccone]

I broke my arm.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. We haven't even gotten there yet. Spoiler alert. Here we go.

[Andy Samberg]

What happened next was a total disgrace.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Everybod. Oh, why did we throw in another gratuitous. We didn't need that last one.

[Andy Samberg]

Great shots. Some.

[Jorma Taccone]

Some gratuitous, fun stuff at the end there.

[Andy Samberg]

We liked it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I want to use. Sliding on your knees is the best thing we ever did.

[Seth Meyers]

Maybe.

[Andy Samberg]

I remember when it had. There was a build up and I was like, hey, hey, hey. Just go wide. Let me try this. And you're like, don't hurt yourself.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Even right then I was worried about it.

[Jorma Taccone]

Done with all the shots yet. And I feel like the. That Julian smashes is probably just an extra prop. That they were like, what do you want to do with this? And you're like, I'll just hold it and smash it.

[Andy Samberg]

Or I thought maybe he requested it. Am I wrong?

[Jorma Taccone]

Did he? It feels so. I wish it would rain.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Andy, if you did that knee slide now, would both knees immediately explode?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, my God. I don't think I'd even make it to the ground.

[Seth Meyers]

It would just be you crumpling in a heap of glitter.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I'd be like, all right, here I go. And then the camera would roll and then it would just be an empty fr. What happened to him?

[Jorma Taccone]

Wait, are you coming? Are you doing it?

[Andy Samberg]

No, he fucking exploded. He's right off camera there. It's a pile of dust.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I did it.

[Andy Samberg]

I did it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm over here.

[Seth Meyers]

Do Barney off camera. His knees just exploded.

[Andy Samberg]

That's a good fucking Barney. Hey, Yahoma.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, I feel like I just want to say this is incredible. I can't believe I'm finding this late era Andy impression.

[Jorma Taccone]

I never knew it had so good. I'm surprised he didn't audition.

[Seth Meyers]

I know, it's. It's shocking when considering he tried, like, to get beetlejuice on like 10 times. It's like you got a barn.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Hey. Somebody said my name once I said it once yeah, you shouldn't be there.

[Andy Samberg]

No more, no more, no more. It's my favorite.

Wait, we have voice notes. We have voice.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We have a voice note.

[Seth Meyers]

Like, who do you got it from?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm just going to let it speak for itself.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Hey, guys, for the people at home, it's Julie.

[Julian Casablancas]

Okay? I mean, I still get references to this all the time. Boombox.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, probably.

[Julian Casablancas]

I feel like any post there's like, images of the fingerless gloves. It was, I would say, very inspiring for me to see you guys, how people work together, respecting each other and playing off each other, which was kind of, honestly, unfortunately, kind of lacking in my experience and creative endeavors. You guys are kind of like a band. I feel a great band.

[Jorma Taccone]

We are kind of like a band.

[Julian Casablancas]

It did feel like almost like a test in a way, because you guys work with such big names. So I remember before I sang on it, I changed the chords because, you know, I had this chord progression and there's like major chords in there. You know, they sound kind of maybe happier. So it's not better instrumentally. But I just remember Jorma. He was like, I don't think that's better.

[Jorma Taccone]

I just remember kind of like I did say that.

[Julian Casablancas]

I just remember thinking, oh, man, I gotta stay on task. And, like, he'll like it when I do the singing. But.

[Jorma Taccone]

And I did. To be fair, I don't know.

[Julian Casablancas]

Yeah, the house was really cool. You guys worked. Oh, by the way, shout out to Maya, Rupert, my dearest, sweetest friend who listens to you guys and said, if I ever do this for Boombox, I have to give her a shout out.

[Jorma Taccone]

What's up, Maya?

[Julian Casablancas]

Love you, Maya.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Maya.

[Jorma Taccone]

Rupert.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Righteous kill my.

[Julian Casablancas]

I remember Joanna was there. She really liked it. And I thought, okay, cool. An ultra talented mega musician that I respected is loving it. So that's good.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, I bet she didn't judge him.

[Julian Casablancas]

What else? What else? Oh, by the way, Akiva, congrats on Naked Gun. It was so good.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Okay.

[Julian Casablancas]

There was an extra verse, I remember also in Boombox, that you guys cut wisely. You guys can't argue with the results. Do you guys still have that. You should almost play it, maybe question mark. For fun or not.

[Akiva Schaffer]

As ahead of the game.

[Jorma Taccone]

There was like a couple of some.

[Julian Casablancas]

Funny jokes in the parts that were cut too.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Julian Casablancas]

I don't know. Miss you guys. You guys are the best. Miss you guys on SNL too.

[Jorma Taccone]

Keep this part. Yeah. Another thing.

[Julian Casablancas]

Just because it's comedy and there's, I guess, a lightness to the ambition. I mean, you guys can still be deep and powerful, but maybe because there's still like a goofiness in a sense, it doesn't ever veer into that, like, self seriousness that I feel like musicians and other artists kind of veer into. And so that was really the best and very inspiring. And I think a lot of that energy was maybe subconsciously brought to, like, when I was figuring out the voids and how we operate and stuff.

[Jorma Taccone]

We're influential and with, you know, and.

[Julian Casablancas]

It helped improve, you know, strong strokes thing too. At least with the three guys that I'm friends with, work with and talk with still. Sorry, Nick. Just kidding.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Julian Casablancas]

But just working with people who respect each other is a necessity. I've discovered. You guys taught me that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Julian Casablancas]

Or at least to work on something that you're just kind of happy or that's embedded with kind of the energy of something you always feel happy about looking back on. So I feel that way about Boomba Box. And it's definitely the one thing I'll be remembered for. I mean, contribution to society.

[Andy Samberg]

Thanks, Julie.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, my gosh. What a sweet, sweet man.

[Seth Meyers]

So sweet, dude.

[Jorma Taccone]

Do you guys remember, like, I remember when we were recording with him, Julian would occasionally get sort of deferential to us, and I was always like, what are you talking about? Like, you're incredible. But he would, like, you know, he was such a sweet person.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He's a nice, very humble fellow who's made some of our favorite music of all time.

[Jorma Taccone]

Has made evidence by that note. It was incredibly sweet.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So nice. Thank you, Julian, for sending that. And by the way, he did it. Oh, well, Seth's gone, but you can tell us.

[Jorma Taccone]

You can tell us. Yeah, go ahead.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, I was on the text.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He did it last second. We texted him a half hour before we started and he managed to do that. But I want Seth to hear it so he can know, like, how nice it was.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's.

[Seth Meyers]

It's gone.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's moving forward. But I do think that it's nice to be on finally with three guys who mutually respect each other.

[Julian Casablancas]

Other.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That is nice of him to say that. I can't imagine how. What was going on for him to have to say that about us.

[Jorma Taccone]

We respect each other.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Yeah. We're very sweet. We're really sweet guys. We're three sweet cookies.

[Andy Samberg]

Seth, you're back. Were you doing some coke, dude?

[Seth Meyers]

Just a little. You guys are like.

[Akiva Schaffer]

A little.

[Seth Meyers]

You guys are kind of like a band.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Have you ever thought about it like that, Seth? We asked Julian for that a half hour before we started in.

[Seth Meyers]

Did you really?

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's how great he is that he gave us that right away.

[Seth Meyers]

That's really awesome. I asked somebody for a voice note half an hour ago as well.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Shouldn't we complete the circle here with the lost verse?

[Andy Samberg]

The lost verse? Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, please.

[Andy Samberg]

My man Makeba.

[Seth Meyers]

I love how you. Your was like. We just. It's so hard for us to not say that Makeba thing. And it's like episode 75 and neither of you have ever said it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

They had to be brought back to this time.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

I just like that there's still, you know, know, secrets in our closet.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Now picture, if you will a bunch of businessmen stuffed in the board room like pigs in a pen. The ties around the necks are like.

[Andy Samberg]

A hangman's noose in the middle of.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The table there's a boiled goose Old.

[Andy Samberg]

People smell makes you want to puke in the sink.

[Akiva Schaffer]

These dudes will never dance. Yeah, that's what you think.

[Andy Samberg]

I stride in the room all, all.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Young and hip hold up my box and say, listen to this.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, great shot.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Great turn. Oh, yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's pretty good.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's very enjoyable, but it is diminishing returns. It's the same thing again. We don't need it.

[Seth Meyers]

Yes. Good for the song. Don't need it for the video.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Agreed.

[Seth Meyers]

Can we hear Andy say boil goose one more time the silly way?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's the end, too.

[Andy Samberg]

There's so many little musical hits in it that I love too. Like, we put in a massive 808 on turbo bit bass. Turbo bass.

[Jorma Taccone]

Boom.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, it's very satisfying.

[Andy Samberg]

I. I like it, but.

[Akiva Schaffer]

All right, so that's talking about Boombox. It's Criterion. I don't need to hear anything about it.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, all right. Well, out of mutual respect, I'd like to hear other people's opinions, but. Okay, fine.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The.

[Andy Samberg]

One of the interesting things about Boombox, in my opinion, is we did it way after the album came out. Like, we had gone sort of through the singles. Right. And we were into the next season.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's a year.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Is it a full year later? Because the album came out February 2009, and this is March20. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

We had done Mother Lover and stuff. You know what I mean? We had already started making originals for the show that ended up on our second album.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

And we finally got to it. I was so glad that we. That we eventually made a video for it.

[Jorma Taccone]

Because you're saying, like, that's how deep the fucking bench was. Of course.

[Andy Samberg]

You're the one who said it's all singles. Fucking smart.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's just a lesson about how we could still do the video for Japan. And Semicolon.

[Andy Samberg]

We should still do that.

[Jorma Taccone]

Definitely do that.

[Andy Samberg]

Hey, you know who would love it if we did the video for Japan? Our wives.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, right. Well, they could come and they'll just.

[Andy Samberg]

No, they can't come.

[Julian Casablancas]

No, no.

[Andy Samberg]

You don't get it, Kevin.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No, Keon.

[Andy Samberg]

Absolutely not.

[Seth Meyers]

What's the point if they got.

[Andy Samberg]

Why even do the video if they're there?

[Akiva Schaffer]

What our kids are gonna come to? This is too close to real.

[Seth Meyers]

Too close to real. Hey, who got real nervous when Julian said, maya Rupert, and you were like, that's not her name.

[Akiva Schaffer]

All of us.

[Jorma Taccone]

All of us.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Forget that Maya Rupert is the funniest way to miss Sa.

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, look, he's an artist.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He's an artist.

[Seth Meyers]

I was like, oh, Julian's lost it.

[Jorma Taccone]

She's on a bunch of TV shows.

[Seth Meyers]

Movies.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Maya Rupert. Like, oh, man, I've been watching Loom.

[Akiva Schaffer]

She plays this rich lady, Maya Rupert.

[Seth Meyers]

That's definitely what my dad would say. All right, Mondo Bus. Before we talk about Mondo Butts.

[Julian Casablancas]

Just.

[Andy Samberg]

Just that transition.

[Jorma Taccone]

Sorry.

[Andy Samberg]

All right, let's get serious.

[Akiva Schaffer]

All right. What? Everybody's been waiting for you talk about.

[Seth Meyers]

You and Rob Klein wrote Mondo Butts.

[Andy Samberg]

Me and Rob Klein wrote Mondo Butts. So this was the first time we tried it with Jude Law. It was. I don't remember why. I don't remember why. Let's just watch it.

[Jorma Taccone]

You're watching Tacoma Public Access broadcasting from our studio downtown, right next to the Public Zoo. Coming up next, Mondo, but with Dave and the Scooch. It's a great view.

[Akiva Schaffer]

With Dave and the Scooch.

[Seth Meyers]

All right.

[Andy Samberg]

Welcome to Mondo Butts, the only show dedicated to bringing you all the most bodacious butts in town. And this is the Scooch. Scooch a dude.

[Akiva Schaffer]

All right, again, if we can't show it, maybe we show a picture. I don't know what we're allowed to show, but Andy is in, like, a 90s polo. Button up. That's got like purple and turquoise stripes and he's got a blonde hair that's not a flat top.

[Andy Samberg]

I think it looks.

[Seth Meyers]

It's a little Pranksters. It's a little.

[Andy Samberg]

It looks to me like if Zack and Screech were smushed into one character.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. It's sticking straight up in the air. Like you were Zach and you touched one of those electric things that make your hair stand up.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And then we got Jude Law looking like I've never seen him before with like floppy, dirty blonde hair as well. And a full goatee.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And like some ripped jeans and some old long sleeve T shirt. Just looking like a dirt bag.

[Seth Meyers]

There's a lot. I mean, so first of all, these are like dirt bag California guys.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

But they're weirdly in like a wood panel. It's like everything about the set's weird.

[Andy Samberg]

No, it's good.

[Seth Meyers]

You had a leather couch, wood walls.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's like wildly cheap looking.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's like a trashy basement that's trying to look fancy. So they have one like Greek style pillar.

[Seth Meyers]

Also, the audience is a little stumped as to how they're supposed to feel about these guys. When you were hearing Mondo Butt, for those who are listening, it was like close ups of ladies shorts in their butts.

[Jorma Taccone]

I do like that we edited that, though, because it doesn't feel like the editing of the show.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No. And the butts are. Are.

[Andy Samberg]

Are very intentionally unsexual.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes. They are just average butts. As if you stole photos of the first 10 women you saw in New York.

[Seth Meyers]

They're ladies butts and these are dudes. And people are like, wait, these guys?

[Andy Samberg]

No, these guys definitely enjoy the part in Splash when John Candy's doing the upskirts with his mirror.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes. Thank you for putting it into words our audience understands.

[Andy Samberg]

And Seth, speaking to the set that you're just bagging on, it's the next Wayne's World and it knows it. All right, let's keep going.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, is that a butt sculpture? It's like a bust of a butt.

[Seth Meyers]

If it is, it's not framed right.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well. Well, yeah, it's off camera now.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. Mondo Bus.

[Andy Samberg]

We got a sick show lined up today. Later on, we'll be joined by a hot chick from town that we're going to try and convince to show us her butt. But first up is my main man.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Scooch with Butts of the Week baseball hat on. Butts of the week.

[Jorma Taccone]

Hey, my brother, that also sucks.

[Andy Samberg]

You know how this get.

[Seth Meyers]

Pause it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Real quick.

[Jorma Taccone]

Excuse me.

[Seth Meyers]

It's not a marble butt. It's just a regular marble. But there's no. Literally no reason for that thing to do that.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah, you're right.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's Caesar.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's like Caesar. Yeah. And then there's butts on the wall.

[Seth Meyers]

But also the Parthenon. It's crazy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, maybe that's gonna get explained as it goes on.

[Seth Meyers]

It will not.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is literally a picture of the Parthenon. Are they doing it from, like, uncle's basement?

[Seth Meyers]

It's awful.

[Akiva Schaffer]

When Lauren used to set, when Lorne.

[Seth Meyers]

Hated a set, he would say, get Keith, who was the set designer. I bet he screame, dude.

[Andy Samberg]

It's fucking iconic. Instantly iconic, dude.

[Akiva Schaffer]

If we can't put this sketch online, please take a screen grab.

[Andy Samberg]

Within 15 seconds, they're confessing to be saxophone.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Please put a screen grab of this frame so people can see why they are surrounded by Greek artifacts.

[Andy Samberg]

They love butts in ancient Greece because it's high brow. You guys, I don't understand where the disconnect is.

[Akiva Schaffer]

All right, so it went to a side D cam. That's like an old mtv, like, handheld.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That pushes up on them fast while they give, like, faces for this mondo butt, whatever it is here.

[Jorma Taccone]

Butts of the week.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Butts of the week. Yeah. Wait, is that so his shirt has a 23 and is in the bull's colors. Is that an actual license? It's a homemade, hardcore, unlicensed.

[Andy Samberg]

Don't make it more painful than it has to be. A Cuba show you all the booties I took pictures of around town this week. How many booties did you snag? Six. Six?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Fresh butt.

[Andy Samberg]

Our first butt is this chick I saw walking in the parking lot, which of course we share with Zoo. I said, what's up? She gave me the finger, but then when she walked away, I snapped a keeper of her trapper regular butt. Butt number two.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Like, make sure these butts are so normal.

[Andy Samberg]

What is that? I don't know. Well, whatever it is, I hope its butt is miggity.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Miggity Mondo.

[Jorma Taccone]

All right, so there's a big turn.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Gorilla and men in a gorilla suit just jumped into the set.

[Andy Samberg]

Sorry, did you not hear when he said we share the parking lot with the zoo?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I did, and I like, I thought it was just a detail to let me know These are Zubutz.

[Andy Samberg]

You guys thought we were celebrating these a holes. The whole thing is a misdirect. Welcome to the Mind Zone case.

[Seth Meyers]

Samberg, Klein and Chekhov wrote this yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This thing is air fucking tight.

[Andy Samberg]

Thank you. And the set makes sense.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It might by the end, it doesn't. Stop saying that. Stick with it, Seth. All right, I want to hear. So he breaks something. The window or something.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, whatever it is, I hope its butt is Miggy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Miggy Mondo. Oh, crap, It's a giant. He pulls your jeans down, both through sets of jeans. So the gorilla is only very targeted. And you both are trying. You're trying to get away. So you've crawled backwards up the couch, and all he's got is both of the back of your belt loops, and he's yanking down, exposing your guy's butts.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, it's poetic justice.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's poetic justice.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, that's what I love about this sketch, is that you're watching and you're like, God, these guys are so distasteful. Little do you know that all the writing is them getting their comeuppance.

[Andy Samberg]

It feeling satisfying.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Like, if they don't kill the wife at the beginning of Braveheart, you don't want to see him murk. Everybody.

[Jorma Taccone]

You know what I mean?

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's brilliant writing because it's all exposition that you don't. You don't think it's exposition.

[Andy Samberg]

And Braveheart. The whole time he's all, you got merced.

[Jorma Taccone]

Merked. He's like, you. You guys murked my wife.

[Seth Meyers]

You merc.

[Akiva Schaffer]

They merced my wife. I don't want to. You're gonna get murked. A lot of you will be merked today. I will not be murked. You will not be murked.

[Seth Meyers]

But some of us will be murked.

[Jorma Taccone]

All right.

[Andy Samberg]

Can we keep going to the fucking Masterpiece Zone?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I want this to last forever. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

This is when I was real happy today.

[Akiva Schaffer]

All right, so then right when their pants are down, it goes to, like, the we'll be right back, like, station.

[Seth Meyers]

But I think we know based on their positioning on the couch and the way their butts are facing where the grill is, what might be about to go down.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And it's, of course, a very stupid image of the. Will be right back with both their dumb faces cut out. That definitely your made. Here we go.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, I think I made a lot.

[Andy Samberg]

Of the images on this, so it's fine work.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I wish I could see your butt better, Andy. All right, Mondo butts. Be right back.

[Jorma Taccone]

Also, the thumb is blurry.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Pulling the can up. Violated.

[Andy Samberg]

What is it to be going on?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Okay.

[Andy Samberg]

Our producer saying we should keep going with the show. So.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Okay. They can't sit down Something bad has happened.

[Seth Meyers]

Something bad has happened to their butts.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He did seem like he was targeting huge. Serious. Okay. Are you serious?

[Andy Samberg]

I. I started the next bodacious butt at the mall. Let's see it.

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Okay. Yeah, it's in the editing suite. There's, like, three quarter inch tapes behind me because I'm bleeding a little bit.

[Andy Samberg]

So now we're gonna bring out today's hot girl and try and convince her to show us her butt.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Show us your butt. Hey, guys.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey. Did you hear that a gorilla escaped from the zoo?

[Jorma Taccone]

No.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay. Are you gonna sit down or.

[Andy Samberg]

No.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Okay. Well, what do you want to talk about?

[Andy Samberg]

I want to talk about that onion you're sitting on.

[Jorma Taccone]

What?

[Akiva Schaffer]

What's an onion?

[Andy Samberg]

It's a butt. So nice it makes you want to cry.

[Seth Meyers]

What happened to you guys?

[Andy Samberg]

Nothing. Forget it. Shut up. Just take a butt and leave.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Fine.

[Jorma Taccone]

June Seems like he's having a pretty good time.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, this was a great episode of Mondo Butt. Was it?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Some of it.

[Andy Samberg]

Until next time, this is David Scoot saying, if the butt's not mondo, we don't want to.

[Jorma Taccone]

We're never gonna hear their catchphrase.

[Andy Samberg]

We immediately turn around.

[Jorma Taccone]

Short and sweet.

[Seth Meyers]

All right. Klein said a voice note, and he also told me we were free to edit it.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, let's check it out.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Really hope he explains the Greco Roman Parthenon poster.

[Seth Meyers]

Mondo Butts. No comment.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And he said you could edit it.

[Andy Samberg]

I think he said he could edit that down.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He's wrong. I should text it to him. Did you offer for him to see it again?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God, no. I gave him Julian level warning.

[Andy Samberg]

Just fucking threw me under the bus so hard. It was our brainchild.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Clyde, on the Ryan Philippe episode, did it. Did it air?

[Andy Samberg]

No. Went to dress.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So we get to re. We get to see it again?

[Andy Samberg]

Yes. And I'm not going to spoil for you guys. I'm sure you don't remember, but I remember we made some major adjustments.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I do remember.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wait, that's exciting.

[Jorma Taccone]

I hope not to the set.

[Seth Meyers]

Can I say, I definitely remember Andy, you and I having conversation. And I don't remember where I ended up on this, but you were very confident. You're like, we fixed it two shows later. This was not a joke. You were like, client. And I cracked it. No. Obviously chilled people.

[Andy Samberg]

It's not like, top of the show, but it'll be in there.

[Seth Meyers]

It'll be in there. So I think probably tell Lauren to get that card ready for bus.

[Jorma Taccone]

I'm sure he Kept it from last time.

[Andy Samberg]

You can scoop it out of the trash, put it back up there.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We put like four more Greek things in so people will.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, we. We switched out the Parthenon for the Acropolis. That was obviously a huge problem.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We swapped that door.

[Andy Samberg]

People are confused.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Some people didn't even know why that stuff was there. Jorm, when did Magubra come out? Do you remember the release date?

[Jorma Taccone]

May 20th. Something. 2010.

[Akiva Schaffer]

2010, right. So this is March. So that's why Ryan is hosting two Duma Grouper. So we're. We're starting the press rollout here. We maybe even have a trailer out at this point.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, for sure. At this point. What? My phone. Sorry. My sons.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, y. Just tilted his camera down and we saw his penis.

[Jorma Taccone]

My penis.

[Seth Meyers]

Really?

[Andy Samberg]

No other way to put it? I don't know what other word I can.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, he told me that a gorilla snuck in there just before we started.

[Jorma Taccone]

Nobody has video here. It wasn't my penis.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Gorilla.

[Seth Meyers]

A gorilla. Mondo his pants off.

[Jorma Taccone]

It wasn't my penis.

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, his shorts are on, but, like, seems like he's probably commanding.

[Jorma Taccone]

I'm wearing tight shorts. That's what he's saying.

[Andy Samberg]

Just seems like it was inappropriate.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah, there it is.

[Andy Samberg]

It would be really funny if it became a news story that I was suing Jorma for showing me his penis on a zoom.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. I have oftentimes thought if it was easy to get restraining orders. It'd be so funny to have us get restraining orders against each other.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Hey, we're a band. That can happen in a band.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, that's true. It happens in bands.

[Akiva Schaffer]

A guy who's very famous for being in a band just confirmed that we're a band. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Seth Lee, take us home because I'm in trouble.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, this is wonderful. Maybe one day we'll talk about hair heads, which was from this episode.

[Andy Samberg]

I was going to say there's a whole Hairheads. We didn't even get to.

[Seth Meyers]

We'll get to it at some point.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Three Hairheads. Number one. Number two.

[Seth Meyers]

Number three is going to go on my list of when we do a catch all catch up episode. Anyway, it's great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, Gotta do.

[Seth Meyers]

I love you guys.

[Jorma Taccone]

Love you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Love you.

[Andy Samberg]

Way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Now Andy wants to stay.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I'm sorry. Andy. Jack Black. That's a question.

[Andy Samberg]

Wait, wait, wait. Spelling be. Spelling be. Yeah, I got it clean. Don't ask me what time I did it. I started at midnight. When it switched over to the new one, it stayed up till 1245 and then got up first with the kids like a lunatic. And it hurt all day, but it was worth it for this moment.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Seth.

[Seth Meyers]

Thank you.

[Andy Samberg]

How'd you do something, Seth?
