[Jorma Taccone]

And California, and for delivery, eczema is.

[Epglis Advertisement Voice]

Unpredictable, but you can flare less with Epglis, a once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema after an initial four month or longer dosing phase. About 4 in 10 people taking EBGLIS ACH relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks and most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.

Empglis Lebricizumab LBKZ a 250mg per 2ml injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. Epglis can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to ebglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebglis. Before starting ebglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.

Ask your doctor about ebglis and visit eglis.lily.com or call 1-800-lilyrx or 1-800-545-5979.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, everybody. Seth here. Before the episode starts, I just wanted to let you know that this one has a video on YouTube. Yoram wanted to show off some of this stuff that Quaid army had sent to him, so we turned the cameras on. Anyway, jump over to YouTube if you want to see that or just continue to listen, audio only. Enjoy. Hey, everybody. It is a special Thanksgiving edition of the Lonely island podcast. And why it's special is we're going to really drill down on something we're very thankful for, which is Yoram's survival and then subsequent recovery. Isn't that right, Yorm?

[Jorma Taccone]

That is right. And yeah, let's get into it right now.

[Seth Meyers]

It's the Lonely island and Seth Meyers podcast. Hi, Yoram.

[Andy Samberg]

Hi.

[Jorma Taccone]

Hi, Seth.

[Seth Meyers]

You reached out and asked to do something sort of as a way to say thank you to QA Quaid Army.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yes, I, I did. I, I also sort of wanted to, I don't even know what prompted this exactly, but I, I, I think that I've just had this feeling when talking about my injury where I don't want to, I don't want to waste our time on the pod talking about this and Right. And, and it's not, you know, particularly funny always. But I also sort of wanted to, like, because so many people have written and said like, it's how inspiring it is to like, put a brave face on this and how like we're, you know, I'm trying to be funny or like, or, you know, like our not trying to be funny, but I'm trying to, like, you know, gloss over certain parts of this. And I do want to sort of mention that this hasn't been easy. None of it has been easy. And there's been many moments that I've had that are painful and small and like, lonely, like moments that I've had in the hospitals or like in rehab. Where my family leaves and I'm just left alone at night feeling like curled up in a ball, like in pain.

[Sleep Score Advertisement Voice]

Being like.

[Jorma Taccone]

And just feeling sort of pathetic and depressed. Depressed and like. And I know that there's a lot of people and people who have written to who have gone through similar experiences. I'm incredibly lucky in that, that I am going to be okay. I'm going to walk again. I wasn't paralyzed. I didn't die. This was an injury that like that both me and Mari in particular, like were. I don't think we realized how dangerous this was. Like 20% of people die from an fracture. And so like, so I'm just incredibly lucky. I'm graduating next Monday. I don't know when this is going to air, if it airs or how we're going to release this, but I'm going to be walking as soon as next Monday. That's three months from when I fell. And that's amazing. That's a testament to western medicine and the surgeries I got and all the people who helped me get to this point, my PT people, everything. But I just wanted to mention that know this is. There's been a lot of really sucky moments like and, and really funny moments too of just like, of just feeling sort of small and pathetic. I've been shooting this video with my daughter and my whole family. Like, I like just to use my creativity, like while I've been stuck inside. So I made this whole six minute epic movie with my daughter, who's five, like where we're twinning her, but there's these moments of lying on the floor like groaning to get down into position so I can get a shot of my daughter. She's smaller than me and I'm like, does no one want to make this movie? And I'm like. And I'm groaning because I'm in pain. And the dog runs up like my, my crutches are clattering to the floor and my dog is running up like humping my leg.

[Seth Meyers]

Can I jump in your arm? Does anybody other than you want to make this movie?

[Jorma Taccone]

They did.

[Seth Meyers]

They did. Okay, great, great.

[Jorma Taccone]

And then, and then as I kept saying that the eye lines were wrong and that she had to do it again, then it got to a point where like no one wanted to make the movie. And then I had to get Mari, my wife in, who's a much inarguably a better director than me to be like a kind director. So there were two directors on this and, and you know, finally they had somebody who Was.

[Seth Meyers]

So you're directing a movie nobody asked for and you actually got replaced.

[Jorma Taccone]

Is that basically, to be fair, I replace myself. I replace myself.

[Seth Meyers]

And by the way, this Eyeline thing, I don't know if people get hung up on it, but again, as we've established Sergio Criterion, Eyeline's all over the place.

[Jorma Taccone]

Eyeline's all over the place. Here's the thing. When you're twinning. When you're twinning an actor who's five, eyelines gotta be right. They gotta be flawless.

[Seth Meyers]

Twinning is. Oh, look at this. It's very exciting. We've just been. This is so exciting. Jorma's doctor has joined.

[Jorma Taccone]

This is my Dr. Wujasekra.

[Seth Meyers]

Hi. Hello, doctor.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

How are you guys?

[Seth Meyers]

We're wonderful. Thank you for everything you did for our friend Jorma.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Oh, it's my pleasure. Jorma. You look great.

[Jorma Taccone]

Thank you. Thank you. Well, I got a ring light on me. So does Seth. You don't have one, so it's not fair to you. But you know what? Your electric smile, I think, lights up your whole face.

[Seth Meyers]

As doctors go, you do have an electric smile. You're joining us from your car. This is not the car you operate out of. Correct. There's a savage car for that.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Generally speaking, not. Yorma had texted me about this yesterday, and he's like. And then I realized just how ridiculous my life is because I can't even coordinate 10 minutes. He's like, can you just jump on? I'm like, I'm in surgery. He's like, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Is that.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Is that wrong?

[Seth Meyers]

Look, we have two other hosts of this podcast and they're not in surgery and also haven't figured it out, so don't be too hard on yourself. Now, can I ask a quick. And then I'll let Yoram ask you some questions. We have had gallows humor talking about Yoram, but how bad was it when you first laid eyes on it?

[Dr. Wujasekra]

He's a lucky guy. Clearly, he's a blessed guy. People get badly hurt with this, like Jorma, but some of them don't make it. But your mind's too good for that, right?

[Jorma Taccone]

Where does this stack up in terms of surgeries? Like, is this a fairly normal one? How go into detail.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Well, I do some pretty large things to people, so yours is a middle of the road thing.

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay, great.

[Seth Meyers]

Great.

[Jorma Taccone]

Damn it. That wasn't the answer I wanted.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Yeah, but you are the greatest. Of course. Right? So.

[Seth Meyers]

I will tell you, of the four people who host this podcast, you definitely got the best patient is Our take. Has Jorma been as good of a patient as the three of us have sort of perceived him to be?

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Well, he is very good. He has a great attitude, and he's upbeat, and maybe his humor helps. And, you know, sometimes he will text me in the middle of medication early on and make me laugh.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, we've got him on the pod a few times early in the medication cycle, and that's been good. I do want to say, if he's ever said stuff to you like, will I ever run again? I've literally never seen him run. I've known him for, like, 25 years. So don't let him try to pin his lack of athleticism on his skateboard.

[Jorma Taccone]

In the hallways of snl.

[Seth Meyers]

Sure, sure, sure. That's classically not running.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

He's ready. What are you. What are you doing now? Are you. Are you doing cartwheels yet?

[Jorma Taccone]

No, not yet. On Monday, I. As long as my. My new surgeon who's replaced you in New York, Alex, approves me, then I will be weight bearing. So I was. We're using this moment to recap my. My injury. Will you. Will you describe what you actually did? If you even remember what you did since you do so much cutting?

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Sure. So when poor Yorma came in, he had just taken a small tumble off his barn and had managed to explode his pelvis, which is kind of the ring around us.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm sorry, he keeps saying that, but that's a medical term, like the. I mean.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Yeah, it's a ring. It's a physical circle. And so the unique properties of a ring are you really usually cannot break it in one spot. So he broke the front and he broke the back. But then the back part of it, which is me, is where the spine attaches to it. And so. And his fracture was just kind of so destroyed that his spine was not attached to the lower part of his body. So I reattached him, and he had broken the lower part of his spine as well. But, uh, so he's kind of.

[Jorma Taccone]

Wait, so how often. How often do you. Do you go in and it's a surprise because it felt like. Like even when you were, like you were going to try to work off the lower lumbar, and then you had to, like, add. Add a. A lumbar. Right, to be able to, like, reattach everything.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Correct.

[Jorma Taccone]

How often is that the case that you go in and you're like, oh, this is harder than we expected, or, like, just going to require more hardware?

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Well, you get. You get. You get A sense of it from your scan, so you kind of have a sense of what you might be dealing with. And then when you get in there, there's always a little bit of a personality to the injury. So yours was just like, we could see that fracture in your fifth bone, and it was a little bit more angry than the CAT scan and MRI might suggest. And so then we had to, you know, make some adjustments on the fly as we go. But, you know, that is, we're prepared for that pretty routinely as we go because things like that will happen. But then, you know, you're young and strong and you have good bones, and so you came together great.

[Jorma Taccone]

The amount of times I heard that was shocking. Like, you're a young guy. Don't feel like a young guy.

[Seth Meyers]

But, you know, the bummer is, in order for you and I to feel young, Yoram, we have to do stuff only old people do.

[Jorma Taccone]

Just go to hospitals.

[Seth Meyers]

We have to take really bad falls. Yeah, usually people who take headers off ladders are much older. Support comes from Factor. You know, everybody on this podcast. We got kids, we got podcasts, we got other jobs. And between all of that, finding time to cook can be tough. That's why we're all fans of Factor. Their chef prepped dietitian approved meals make it easy to stay on track and enjoy something comforting and delicious, no matter how hectic the season gets. And you know what? Forget about when my family's in town. When my family's out of town, first thing I do is I order Chinese food. That is my guilty pleasure and I eat it and I'm happy for about five minutes and then I'm sad for about three days because I ate too much. And the great thing about Factor is they have all the global flavors I love. They're Asian inspired meals with bold flavors influenced by China, Thailand or more. Give me that taste I'm craving without that sad afterburn. The from more choices to better nutrition. That's why 97% of customers say that Factor helped them live a healthier life. Feel the difference, no matter your routine. And Andy, why don't you tell him why you love Factor? And then if. If Andy sent in his voice note, we'll just play that here. I'm sure he did because I texted him and said it was important. Felt like he wasn't carrying his weight with the ads. So probably right about now he's talking about Factor. Great.

[Andy Samberg]

Support comes from Rag and Bone. Hey y, tell me if this sounds familiar. Winter rolls around, you start digging through your closet for warmer clothes and nothing feels quite right anymore.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh my God. This is very visual. Go ahead.

[Andy Samberg]

Those beat up pants from college. Yeah. Probably time to retire them. Yeah, it's time to upgrade to rag and bones. Infuse the denim.

[Jorma Taccone]

No joke. I love rag and bone and denim. Who doesn't love denim?

[Andy Samberg]

It is nice. We'll get to infused denim because that's what we're here to talk about. But I actually.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, yeah, yeah, we got, we got built up to that.

[Andy Samberg]

I actually. Yeah, Rag and Bone. I was very pleased to see it on here because I do wear a lot.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, both of them.

[Andy Samberg]

When we went on tour, I believe my jeans were rag and bone and I definitely have worn a rag and Bone button up shirt. A ton of.

[Jorma Taccone]

Also when, when we first in New York, like SNL days, I remember being like, rag and Bone is the tip top of like the store that I want to go to the most. Whenever we had like a Sunday and I was, I wasn't exhausted. I was like, I'm there.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, There was one in the West Village. Might still be there. I'm not sure. It was very big and very nice. Now there's one in LA on Melrose Place.

[Jorma Taccone]

Go there, guys.

[Andy Samberg]

But. So I was really thrilled because they offered to send me something and I'm sure YouTube, but you maybe didn't follow up because you were in the hospital. And it was this thing called infused denim line. And I got a shirt that's like a button up shirt that's kind of like just heavy enough to wear like over a T shirt where you'd like roll up the sleeves a little bit. It fits in with my, my damn Flash's wardrobe, right?

[Jorma Taccone]

Like a, like a work work.

[Andy Samberg]

By the way, I saw some people trying to guess where it was and they were wrong. I haven't seen someone guess the rule.

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay. Why don't you go to Rag and Pone instead, guys?

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, my wardrobe now will be mostly Ragabone and my secret store, but the shirt's dope. I wish I was wearing it right now. So I can show it to you, but it is just what a what a jackpot for me to get a shirt I really would have bought.

[Jorma Taccone]

Keith, you and I are so similar style wise that I'm glad I live on another coast so I can get that exact same outfit and not feel guilty when we show up as twins.

[Andy Samberg]

I think it would be totally fine now. Yes. And then they sent over, I mean I selected from the infused denim line also a pair of jeans. The wash is where the infused denim really shines. Each pair goes through eight step over dye process, giving rich layered tones and deep dimensional shades that look polished yet effortless. Over time the color and texture evolve adding even more character with an authentic lived in touch. And I will say that is what it looks like. You can just look at it and you're like oh, that's a step beyond a normal kind of like denim button up.

[Seth Meyers]

Sure.

[Andy Samberg]

If there's something going on with it that looks nice.

[Jorma Taccone]

So this is the actual one you got?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I I wish I had thought of to bring it up here. I could have shown it to you.

[Seth Meyers]

How long were you doing the surgery?

[Dr. Wujasekra]

I mean, my portion of it, like, because the trauma surgeon kind of started up in the front and put together the front part of your pelvis, and then I inherited the second part of it, and that was probably about three hours or so on the back portion of it to kind of put you together. And that was a little bit into the evening as these trauma things kind of go.

[Seth Meyers]

Right, so is that a longer side of a surgery for you? Three hours?

[Dr. Wujasekra]

That's probably middle to shorter side for the kinds of things. Because I'm usually doing like major deformity surgery where people are like scoliosis or kind of bent in half and crooked, that kind of thing. But we do a little bit of everything. Tumors and trauma, unfortunately.

[Jorma Taccone]

Do you have a favorite kind of surgery? Like, are you like, oh, man, this is a good one?

[Seth Meyers]

I do.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

I have to say yes, because I really do like trauma, honestly, because they're kind of interesting, challenging cases and like major deformities, like scoliosis and things like that. That's usually my work.

[Seth Meyers]

I will try to tie it to our podcast. I would imagine trauma trauma surgeries is the closest to working at SNL in that you don't have a lot of time to prepare. You're sort of finding out as it goes what you need.

[Jorma Taccone]

Nice, Diane.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Well, yeah, there is definitely an element of that. You will need to be able to improvise or at least have plan A through Z. And there's always good stories attached to these things.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, that's true. Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

No, I loved my story.

[Seth Meyers]

Did you talk to Jorma before the surgery, or was it so sudden that you didn't get to actually have a conversation with until after?

[Dr. Wujasekra]

No, fortunately, I, we, we did get to talk beforehand. It's not that. That does happen, and those are kind of tougher things to tackle because, you know, somebody's really in bad shape then.

[Jorma Taccone]

I mean, it's really like when, when this guy showed up with his, his beaming white smile. Yeah. You know, it's hard, hard not to. To trust a guy like that. You're just like, ah, this guy. Like, even when it was going to be late, I was like, he'll be fine, he'll be fine. It's going to be 11 o' clock at night. He'll be fine. He's got energy for days.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't know what your toothpaste is, but if they want to be a sponsor of the podcast, we could talk. Our testimonials would be very authentic.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

You know, it's. It's like kind of a normal world. Like, you're there and it's. I realize, like, it's the strangeness of my world where that's fine. You're like, it's 10 o'.

[Jorma Taccone]

Clock.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Let's go. And you're like, this. This is done at 10 o'.

[Jorma Taccone]

Clock.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Yeah, you gotta go right now.

[Seth Meyers]

Excuse my ignorance of being a total layman in this, but when. At what point in your schooling did you know this was the sort of medicine you wanted to practice?

[Dr. Wujasekra]

You know, when I was going through, I was a med student, and I was walking down the hall of surgery, trying not to be lost, and I peered into this room and they had this. It was a broken leg at that time, and I saw them put this. It's essentially a wire into this leg. The wire is maybe three feet long, and it just disappeared into the. Into the leg. And I got the willies. And I said, I don't know what that is, but that's what I'm gonna do.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God. It's so funny that you like everything. While you were saying it, all I could think was, keep walking. You're not supposed to see that.

[Jorma Taccone]

Like, 99% of people. That's the reaction. And speaking of which, just to tie it to, because I can't imagine that you text with a lot of your patients necessarily. I just want to feel special here. But I sent the text that we were doing last night to Seth, because I wrote to you. Could you do 10am tomorrow? Seth can do then. Or are you going to be cutting up bodies, you freak? Because I. But it's like. It's true, though. It's like you are. You actually set it to, like. I think you maybe even had a surgery this morning. Did you?

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Yeah, I'm actually between. I'd had one surgery, and I was telling you I don't know if I'm going to make it on time, but it worked out great, actually, and perfect. So I'm between cases, dressing between surgeries.

[Seth Meyers]

This is not mid surgery. You did not walk away saying, I got a quick yes pop to my car for a quick pocket.

[Jorma Taccone]

Really said it would be super cool if you did it mid surgery.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Yorma did ask, do you think the patient would go for that? And I did say, I think that would be a little weird, you know?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, that would be a little weird.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

By the way, while Yoram's calling you a freak, he's the one like, hey.

[Jorma Taccone]

Let'S get some blood on this podcast.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, Again, I cannot thank you enough. We're so happy to have Yorma back on his feet as of Monday. Knock on wood. And yeah, I mean, again, we are, you know, shout out to our medical professionals everywhere. You know, we hopefully don't need someone like you, but thank God you're around when we do.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Oh, that's kind of you guys.

[Jorma Taccone]

This was so much fun. I personally want to thank you to. Would you say, like, honestly, like I. There are no words. And really, like, you're the absolute best and thank you for everything you do.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Oh, that's so kind of you.

[Seth Meyers]

And please give our appreciation to your whole, your whole team over there.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

I will. They're gonna die to hear about this right now.

[Jorma Taccone]

What's your next surgery? Where are you going into next?

[Dr. Wujasekra]

I'm gonna fix somebody's neck next. They have a, you know, fragment of material that is pushing on their spinal cord. So we're gonna fish that out and make them better.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, well, okay. Good luck in there. Yeah.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

All right, guys, nice to talk to you.

[Seth Meyers]

Thank you so much.

[Jorma Taccone]

Thank you, doctor.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Take care. Yep.

[Seth Meyers]

Bye.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Bye.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, that dude rules.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, my God, he's the best.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, whoa. That dude rules.

[Jorma Taccone]

That's why I wanted to get him on the pod. He's amazing. Also the fact that he gave me his number, which I was like. The moment he did, I was like, you fool.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, he didn't know. I should have asked. When did you realize that Jorma was Jorma? I do. He's the kind of doctor that if I knew he was doing my surgery, I would think, I gotta live so I can text this guy one day.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yes. Or like, I don't play golf. But I was like, maybe he plays golf. Maybe I should take up golf and play golf with him.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I. Well, I wanted to open with this, Yorin, but somebody sent a really funny comment. It was the rankings of the hosts on.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, no. Did I slip in the ranks? Maybe I'm fourth. No.

[Seth Meyers]

Ready? All right. It was the bottom Jorma.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, fuck.

[Seth Meyers]

Next up, Andy.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Then me.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh.

[Seth Meyers]

Then Andy. If he quibbied, he's the best host. No. Then Keev, then Yorm after he fell off the ladder. Basically, you went from bottom to top. Was it worth it? Of course not. But I think the world and you know, maybe this is more of a shout out to the pharmaceutical industry or just your new le. But Yorm, everybody. I think the world agrees. It just we managed to shake the podcast host out of you that we.

[Jorma Taccone]

Always knew was gotta stay on those drugs. This is really gonna. This is bad news for me and my addictions. This is a nice transition because I will say what I really wanted to say in this podcast, beyond just talking about myself and my surgery is. Is just a big thank you to all of our fans and honestly, how I've been blown away by one like the sheer volume. I don't have a late night TV show. Seth, I'm sure you get mail all the time because you're a great guy and you're doing.

[Seth Meyers]

I can tell you, since you are getting your meal at my PO box, you are getting 10x as much mail as I get.

[Jorma Taccone]

Well, you've been on for a long time.

[Seth Meyers]

That's huge.

[Jorma Taccone]

People get it at this point. But the creativity though, of all of our fans and just the sheer sarcasm and meanness. I absolutely love all of our fans and I love you guys for. I mean, here's the. Where's the pillow that I had? I don't Know where that is. But like. But just the amount of, like, mean. I just got this today. Somebody sent me our own DVDs of hot rod and Pop Star. And just the pure sarcasm of that is just really fantastic. Absolutely.

[Seth Meyers]

It's really nice to send you.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

DVDs and movies. Know you.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Which is also, like. To be given a DVD right now is almost a personal attack. It's great.

[Jorma Taccone]

Like, go buy a DVD player now. And I gotta buy both because one's a DVD and one's a Blu Ray. So buy two machines to actually watch this.

[Seth Meyers]

Do you have anything else on hand that you'd like to.

[Jorma Taccone]

I have so many things, Seth. And this is why we wanted to make this a video podcast.

[Seth Meyers]

Because this is a video podcast. You can check it out. And by the way, I know it's shocking that we have not done video yet on the podcast. I will just say the reason is that Yorm, Keev and Andy have no visual style.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. And. And most of the time, I'm 100% nude too. And so, like. So we were just like, we don't want to get arrested. But people have knit me things. This is a hat.

[Seth Meyers]

It's a beautiful knitted hat.

[Jorma Taccone]

I got two knitted hats. I got very nice shirts. That's. This one says there's three of these.

[Seth Meyers]

Too, which I. I love yhorm. Really?

[Jorma Taccone]

Yorm.

[Seth Meyers]

Giant. Giant. Oh, yeah, Giant.

[Jorma Taccone]

I think that's for my family so that they can walk around and actually wear.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I see. Right. Support. Yeah. I guess giving you. I will say that's a lot like the dvd. Giving you a shirt that says I love yhorma is not really a gift for you.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's hard to wear that around the house.

[Seth Meyers]

And it's also a. I mean, it's weird to put you in the position of then being the person who's giving it away.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. But I mean, you know Seth. Like, you know me Seth. That's actually a great. That's a great thing for me to do. Like, I could easily give that to you as a president and you would hate it.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. Here's. I got. We got quite a few Quaid army shirts. This one is.

[Seth Meyers]

That's a really nice one.

[Jorma Taccone]

Military style. Righteous kill at the bottom.

[Seth Meyers]

I. You know, I do a Q and A every night on my show. I've mentioned I'm getting a lot of Quaid armies. I am also. You're. I'm getting a lot of people asking after you. People will ask during my Q and A how you are which is lovely. The only downside is I will. I think, you know, probably 80% of my audience has not listened to the podcast. So then I have to say, oh, he's asking this because. And then I have to tell the gnarliest story.

[Jorma Taccone]

And then I have to say, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Cause I'd be like, oh, he's asking how my friend Yorm is. Cause he fell off a ladder. I'm using the medical term blew to fucking smithereen.

[Jorma Taccone]

He said exploded. I exploded my pelvis. Like, explode.

[Seth Meyers]

I was like, did you go to med school with yhorm? Yeah. Fucking exploded, dude.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's the same. It's the same thing with cutting. It's just weird to, like, just like, sort of say that they're cutting. I'll be between cutting. I'm like, this is strange. Okay, here, hold on. There's more shirts. I want to show some shirts here. This one is very stylized, and I have four of these.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, this is a great one. So hold that up. We got to make. So that is a Quaid Army. Yeah. I can't quite read what is. What is Squatto saying?

[Jorma Taccone]

Well, it says. He says, any of you, Quaid's got a smint. And it's bad Bill Hader. And then it's Andy's faces.

[Seth Meyers]

Quado. Yeah, Bill. It's often forgotten that Bill is, of course, the body that the Quado first came out of.

[Jorma Taccone]

He's Jamie, I think is his character name.

[Seth Meyers]

That's a really. And we were saying it's like, good. Like, it's sort of like Archie comics animation.

[Jorma Taccone]

This one's awesome. And it's very soft too, so it's fun to wear to bed. We got. Okay, this one. Here's the thing with Kuato being a character that is somehow, you know, representing our podcast. Kuato's horrible looking. And so, like, a lot of. A lot of things that have Cuato's face on him are just a bummer to look at. And some of these shirts are equally. This one reminds me of a present that I got for your mom, which.

[Seth Meyers]

Is a. Oh, yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

Because I don't know if we talked about. We talked about the. How I had a shirt airbrushed for your mom for her birthday.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. That says real G is what move in silence. Real GS move in silence. And by the way, Yorm, I found it this weekend and forgot to take a picture of it, but I will put it in the chat soon so that people can see it.

[Jorma Taccone]

Well, what I love about GIFs like this, and I may have mentioned this is that I, I love airbrushing because airbrushing is one of those art forms where no matter how good you are, it's awful, just awful to look at. And you can't give that away now because it's like it's a present. And you're like, you know what?

[Seth Meyers]

That's really the thing about it. Enough effort went into it that you feel bad throwing it away, even though the effort was wasted because it looks awful.

[Jorma Taccone]

The only one that I. And this wouldn't be a podcast about, you know, my injury without me name dropping someone, but I made one for Tracy Morgan that says because I'm Tracy Morgan has his screaming face airbrushed huge on his. On the chest. And he's the only person that I'm like, oh, he might wear this. He might wear this around his, like, giant fish tank with his sharks in it.

[Seth Meyers]

Alexi is often. I kind of feel like Alexi said, are you ever gonna wear this? About my mom's big face, you know, airbrushed onto a shirt. And the reality is I'm probably not gonna wear it, but I feel like throwing away an airbrushed shirt that was given to you as a gift is a little bit like begging for a Sergio style curse. You know what I mean?

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, you're damn right.

[Seth Meyers]

I think there are certain things you can't do well while you're getting the next one out. Speaking of Quaid army and Arnold, I had our friend Edgar Wright on the show talking about his new movie, Running Man.

[Jorma Taccone]

I didn't see it. How was Edgar?

[Seth Meyers]

It's fantastic. It's so fun. Edgar is just a blast to be around because also Edgar, a card carrying member of Quaid Army.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, yeah, he's the best.

[Seth Meyers]

And. And he was very. It was the, you know, again, I feel like, you know, back in our New York days was when I saw Edgar the most, but he was sort of saying how sweet it is that he feels like he knows more about what's going on with us than he does with his own parents.

[Jorma Taccone]

That is one of the pluses and minuses of podcasts, I guess.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. So I then am going to. I'm going to start doing a podcast with his parents by per his request.

[Jorma Taccone]

I have to just imagine that they both sound like, Edgar, eat your cereal. Right. I assume that they eat a lot of cereal. I'm sorry, Edgar, that was a rude impression of you. You can do one of me whenever you want. This is because you mention anything, like on the podcast, just mentioning That I wanted a solid. The spelling bee reference, by the way. I wasn't kidding. That's basically where I end up every day. I get solid. I'm like.

[Seth Meyers]

A solid spelling bee T shirt is genuinely the funniest one yet.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yes, yes. And I have a hat that says solid too. And I actually. I wear it all the time, and I love it, but I've worn it so much that I've misplaced it now. And then here's another hat, too.

[Seth Meyers]

Yhorm thorns.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, Yorm thorns.

[Seth Meyers]

Yorm thorns is great. Hey, we are gonna show this again, but since it's a video pod, let's show it now. Can we? Do we have the last version of Tapper's quado?

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, how does he have time to do.

[Seth Meyers]

What do we think? Are you happy with you? I feel like you've gotten worse.

[Jorma Taccone]

I'm fine with that. Because I feel like, you know, that maybe he's. Maybe he's drawing the inside of me.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. I think Andy. I think he's trying too hard on Andy now.

[Jorma Taccone]

I feel like if he swapped out me from last time, then we'd be solid.

[Seth Meyers]

I will say I feel good. You know what? I should not. I should not be giving notes on other people. I just want to say I fully sign off. I'm very happy with where I'm at.

[Jorma Taccone]

The thing is, is that it looks like he draws these on an iPad program he likes, which is very savvy.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

The only other person I know who, like, does that is, like, another name drop is Phil Lord. Like, the only person I know who, like, really like sketches on these things.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, what else you got? Do you got anything else?

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay, let's see. Well, then there's.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

There's.

[Jorma Taccone]

There's some ones that are like, ladder. Promotional ladders are whack. This one says.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay, so that's. Ladders are whack. And they made that.

[Jorma Taccone]

They made that. But I will say, like, this isn't one that I'm going to wear a lot. If I'm being. If I'm being completely honest. I so appreciate the effort. But, like. But. And it has, like, scar. I think that this is, like, scar scarring. Maybe that's next to the ladder.

[Seth Meyers]

I like the ladder is. You know, ladder is spelled from top to bottom. So it's kind of the letters of ladder are making a ladder and arwak is at the bottom. And it does seem like it is there, like, a hole that maybe you had fallen into.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, that's the part that's whack and then it says on the side it says Detached Sacrum Productions. So like, you know, people put some effort into that one and then, oh, this one's great. And our buddy Jack will appreciate this one. I almost want to send it to him. But this is one man, Quaid, Army Corps. And it's an abbreviation and it's Jack's face.

[Seth Meyers]

That's really good.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. He looks really handsome, doesn't he?

[Seth Meyers]

I made the mistake on my show saying once that I am terrified by the Mac tonight. That old McDonald's guy.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yes. And then the big moon guy.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, the big moon headed guy. Which I guess has also been co opted by like white supremacy culture. So, you know, real double barreled bummer.

[Jorma Taccone]

Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait.

[Seth Meyers]

Explain that. I think it's like Pepe the Froggish type. Like moon, like they call him Moon man. I guess what I'm saying is if you see somebody with like a giant moon head, they might just be not. It might be more than they're like craving burgers at six. So that's a bummer. And then I can't remember how I. But I think at some point I was like, stop sending this. This would be like if you guys sent me like Bill Cosby albums. And so then they've just been doing that. Just get a lot of the P.O. box just full of old like Cosby books and albums.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, yeah. Speaking of, I've gotten. These were trading cards from the original Total Recall. So I'm equate. This is all.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm not.

[Jorma Taccone]

I'm sorry, I'm not like giving individual names for everyone who sent me stuff, but Quaid me.

[Seth Meyers]

That's a good. That, that Kwato card is a good. You know, that really proves your point that you don't really want Kuato on a piece of clothing.

[Jorma Taccone]

No I mean at all. And here's, here's some original pins that were also done for Total Recall, which, you know, so a little disturbing all these are. There's a lot of disturbing stuff that gets sent to me as well. But in terms of talking about like, like people have sent me books that they've written and, and comic books. I mean, it's. It's just been incredibly nice. And the amount of like letters that I've gotten. Here's another pin that someone made which is also disturbing. Well, Andy's face, which I really like these ones. I might actually be able to put this. But you know, when you got kids, it's a little hard to explain something like this.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

Kuwait army pen with Andy's face as quatto.

[Seth Meyers]

I love Andy's lack of vanity. Every time you see a quado.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, I think he loved it.

[Seth Meyers]

It was always like one for. I don't know if it's like one for him, one for his parents because like again, exactly half of his sketches he looked very handsome and then the.

[Jorma Taccone]

Other one, you know, I like how much we can compliment each other. I do feel like Andy's era of hair could either lend itself to like really a bummer or like, oh, that's nicely coiffed. I really like that.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

Here's, here's a original piece of art done by.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I like that.

[Jorma Taccone]

Funko Wax. Yeah, it's Kevin Powell and it's actually like painted, hand painted. It says on the back, congratulations. You have just received like you like how far I have to put it away from my face. You have just received a custom hand painted art card. Please do not throw it into a river. And it signed, which is very good.

[Seth Meyers]

It's nice. It's a reminder that you guys did not have trading cards for Hot Rod.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you mean like when it came out, like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Like no one ever wanted a Kevin card. He was like, I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get Jorm an old Kevin card. And then he went on ebay and he immediately was like, oh, I think I gotta paint one.

[Jorma Taccone]

Did I tell you that after, after Hot Rod came out, I was talking to Lauren and we were talking about the failure of the movie and he was talking about like different aspects of, of the failure of the movie. He was like, well, you knew in a normal version of it you would have been played by a 14 year old boy.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, that's, that's, that's one of, that's a, that's a Lorn Thorne. Yeah, you're, you're, you being Kevin is a classic Lauren Thorn. Hey, so. And again I'm going to bring this up. Apologies to everybody who's going to. I mean, because I'm going to have to tell the other two guys. We've obviously been digging into the fact that there's a conspiracy. I don't know if it's a conspiracy or it's like basically whoever's behind New York Times games is trying to make coded contact with us. Like Cold War Spies.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. Really?

[Seth Meyers]

Today. There was a more today. First of all, we heard from Hambone, Jon Hamm, friend of the pod, because he, he immediately like 6am was like, what's going On. Because in connections, one of the words was yolo.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, yeah. They were sending us coded messages like that. Like, straight to the bottom.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. All right. That's like, just. That's the first thing. Crossword today. I mean, again, I'm one of the hosts, so I'm gonna count it. Late night host Seth. Yeah, but here's the crazier one. Lauren. I'm sorry, here's the crazier one. You are.

[Jorma Taccone]

You can call me Lauren. It's fine.

[Seth Meyers]

Brand whose customers made its super bowl ad in 2025.

[Jorma Taccone]

Really?

[Seth Meyers]

And you know what it is?

[Jorma Taccone]

Sprite.

[Seth Meyers]

No, it's a tie into us. They're trying to communicate with us. Think super bowl ad.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, Airbnb. Oh, Biore.

[Seth Meyers]

Doritos.

[Jorma Taccone]

Doritos. Oh, Doritos. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Didn't you make a Super bowl advertise?

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, I did.

[Andy Samberg]

I did.

[Seth Meyers]

But.

[Jorma Taccone]

But here's the thing, Seth. The gabapentin, when I take it, it's about an hour after that, it starts to really kick in. And I'm not taking, like, horse doses here.

[Seth Meyers]

Again, in the end, everybody, you know, I feel like I. No judgment to the good people at Doritos. I, you know, I love artistic expression. I love big swings. And I also completely understand all the choices they made.

[Jorma Taccone]

It was honestly, I would say the biggest bummer was just that we had to make another video saying that we didn't make a video. That was the hardest. And you know how hard it is to get the three of us together. It was just really hard.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It would be like, for example, if someone at, like, Doritos, like, had fallen on their sword for this one, and like, years later, they're like, whatever happened to that big Doritos job you had? Marketing. It's like there was this awesome thing they wouldn't air. You want to see it? And they'd show it. And then people would be like, oh, you're fired. Oh, Jeffrey, you shouldn't have. You shouldn't have stood up for that, Jeffrey. Not that.

[Jorma Taccone]

I just also, like, hearing now from the new casino, like, there's obviously turnover at companies, which I, you know, in Hollywood, I just assume it's every, like six to months to a year that there's a whole new brass. But, like, clearly that's the case with. With PepsiCo, because, like, just having people be like, I've never heard of this.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

You know, like, well, let's air this thing that's been talked about on a podcast.

[Seth Meyers]

I love it. Yeah, no, this. This definitely got memory hold over there.

[Jorma Taccone]

They put it certain amount of interest.

[Seth Meyers]

Have I made the joke that they put it where they. They put it with the Ark of the Covenant? That seems like something I would have said before. I'm getting a contact Pentin hit off Yorm, so apologies if I'm repeating myself as well. All right, so long story short, Yoram reached out because he wanted to thank Quade Army. He wanted to thank his medical team, and that was the purposes of this. And it was lovely to see you.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yormouth to Seth. And for anybody who's going through anything like this, my heart goes out to you, and it is. A lot of people have reached out who have gone through things like this. And it's one of those moments where the minute you actually have something bad happen to you and you talk about it, you realize there's how many people have gone through something either similar or going through something similar. And I really appreciate it. And if you can do anything, no need to send me any anything else. I have been absolutely satiated. Thank you guys so much for everything. All of your cards and letters have really meant the world to me and my family. And I also want to thank my family more than any anything for having to go through this. My kids and my wife. But if you want to do anything, I would just say if you can reach out to somebody today or whenever you hear this, that means something to you and you feel grateful for, you.

[Seth Meyers]

Know, what.

[Jorma Taccone]

Are you playing?

[Seth Meyers]

Bob's playing, y'.

[Jorma Taccone]

All. But really thank whoever has done something nice for you. It really means the world to me. I'm the sincere guy, Seth, and people love that about me.

[Seth Meyers]

Will you sing me into Seth's corner real quick?

[Jorma Taccone]

Seth's corner. This is the part of the mini cast, whatever. This is where Seth talks about. Hopefully he's not talking shit about me. Part of the show.

[Seth Meyers]

I got my teeth cleaned last week, and my dental technician is gonna join real quick.

[Jorma Taccone]

Please say that's true. No, also right after me saying that, that's what I wan.

[Andy Samberg]

Heaven.

[Jorma Taccone]

So, Gary, how bad was it?

[Seth Meyers]

Was there. This is kind of like right. Right down the middle. Was there any classic. Yeah, Cal. Yeah, we should have. Gary, we should have let you go first. We sequenced this pod bad. All right. I love you, buddy.

[Jorma Taccone]

Love you too. Seth, you're the best.

[Seth Meyers]

Later, Arnold.

[Dr. Wujasekra]

Later, Quaid.
