• The group agreed that Weaver “was having a grand old time” and made the shoot memorable by being so game and energetic.

3. The Evolution and Writing of Laser Cats 5

Timestamps: 07:59–15:00

• Non-traditional writing/directing:
  • Laser Cats 5 wasn’t directed by Andy or Akiva but by John Krysel, which the group jokes made it “finally good.”
• The episode turned into a rapid-fire reference fest to Cameron movies, signifying a shift in the series’ style:
  • “...in terms of the writing process, because neither me or Keev were there for this. Oh, so they got dumb is what you’re saying?”
• The team reflects on the joys and pitfalls of parody, referencing the sketch’s “epic movie” vibe but also calling it “disciplined” for sticking within the Cameron universe.

4. The Filming Experience

Timestamps: 18:15–19:44

• The shoot with Sigourney Weaver was described as “insanely fun,” with Weaver committed to channeling her iconic role as Ripley.
• There was an internal debate: Could they ask Sigourney to play Ripley? “She’s like, ‘yeah, sure.’ And us being like, oh my God…” (19:10)
• Bill Hader talks about being genuinely starstruck around Weaver, even more so than Cameron, because of her extensive filmography.

5. Layered Visual Gags & Inside References (Laser Cats 5 Rewatch)

Timestamps: 26:31–42:17

• The group does a running commentary/watchalong of Laser Cats 5, pointing out details:
  • Use of the “Terminator font,” iPod beer, and shoddy props as hallmarks of Laser Cats DIY spirit.
  • Scene-by-scene, they highlight intentional bad effects, kittens in boxes as “laser cat eggs,” and iconic lines such as “get away from them, you Ripley. Believe it or not.” ("Brutal. That’s the right word for it." – 32:45)
• Production trivia:
  • James Cameron refused cue cards, opting to go fully off book (27:07)
  • The spectacle and kitsch grew—“There were like 10 great moments in like 10 seconds there. Like they're all shitty to look at, but they're so smart and good.” – Jorma (36:57)

6. Technical Anecdotes & Post-production

Timestamps: 43:08–48:29

• John Krysel, via voice note, reveals the challenges of shooting and editing such a dense effects-driven piece on a brutal SNL timeline.
• Making things look “shitty” is sometimes harder because every shot requires deliberate VFX.
• The team discusses the collaborative and often last-minute nature of these shorts.

7. SNL Stories and Reflections

Timestamps: 57:50–64:30

• Seth shares the surreal nature of returning to SNL’s set now that he runs Late Night in the same hallway.
• Amy Poehler describes coming back to SNL as “like being a ghost in a house you used to live in.”
• The hosts describe afterparties and hanging out in Higgins’ office as the “thing I missed the most.”

8. Side Tangents: SNL Sketches, Suits, and Guest Hospitality

Throughout; esp. 50:47–54:00, 81:00–89:20

• Extended laughs around guests (Kenan’s ability to save a dying sketch, fond Henry Winkler stories).
• The debate about whether Seth should wear suits again now that “every podcast looks like a talk show.”
• A brief but wholesome digression about hospitality: Akiva reminisces about being treated warmly by Henry Winkler, which Jorma admits is a standard none of them meet.

Transcript

[A]

Let me tell you about a thing.

[B]

I know the moment.

[C]

I'm Seth Myers podcast show.

[A]

I'm very, very happy to be with my bros.

[C]

I love a morning pod where I get to use my late night Seth Meyers mug with a cup of jive.

[A]

I mean, I would say this is optimal timing for the pod, and I know it doesn't work out often. It's super optimal for me because it's a hiatus week at Late Night with Seth Meyers. So I had nothing but time for the old pod this week. Did a lot of prep. I feel like people are going to be really excited.

[C]

You look well rested. Yeah, you look nice. Where are you?

[A]

I'm in our little podcast room at the office. And, you know, I went back to the old stomping grounds.

[D]

Snl. That's right.

[E]

Oh, yes, a lot of people did, because Timmy Meadows, who I saw, was there and will forte those.

[D]

Yeah, but Seth was on it.

[C]

He was on Weekend.

[A]

No, but this is good. I think we should use this time to have Yoram tell us secondhand other people who were there.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Here's the thing, guys. Here's the thing. I didn't check what we're talking about. I know that's going to surprise a.

[A]

Lot of our listeners. Like today's episode.

[E]

I didn't check that. Yes. Okay. I didn't check that because I've been watching AFI's 100 Greatest Films. That's what I've been doing.

[D]

Well, Yoram, this is controversial maybe, but my advice would be, like, when Seth is leading this and has clearly something to say, just don't say anything until you know what he's talking about. That's just my advice from one guy to another guy.

[E]

Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

The film giant was. Okay, it was a little long.

[A]

Oh, interesting.

[C]

Oh, the James Dean one. Yeah, yeah, James Dean. I've never bothered to watch that. I need to.

[E]

Did you guys want to know about that? More about that?

[D]

Well, maybe after this thing.

[C]

I am curious. Okay.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

It seemed like he was, like, kind of rolling and, you know, in a great mood.

[C]

Take it away, Seth.

[A]

The AF in AFI stands for after, and the I stands for I.

[D]

By the way, right after that, Yoram just pounded, like, 20 pills.

[E]

So many pills.

[F]

So many.

[D]

So you're off the hook, buddy.

[A]

Which is terrifying that that means everything that's happened so far is before the pills.

[D]

Well, which pills, though? I mean, my man is going through it.

[A]

Yorm.

[D]

Nirvana said it best. All apologies.

[E]

I'm on 1200 gabapentin, guys. All right, let's do this.

[C]

Yeah, that'll get you there.

[A]

That would be great if just any of these pharmaceuticals that yhorm is choking down would join the pod as a sponsor, so we could just organically talk about them instead of having to fucking smash pistachios in here.

[E]

So take it away, Seth.

[D]

Now, when you say pistachio, you're talking about Charles Barclay's character from Grief Counselors, right?

[C]

I am. Pistachio callback.

[A]

Nice callback. Hey, I'm gonna get to snl, but I will say we can own up to the fact that this is great. Yes. Hello.

[E]

Another interruption.

[A]

Hi, Bill from Billiam Hayter. Hello. Hi, buddy. How are you?

[B]

Hey. Oh, this is what it's like.

[C]

This is us.

[B]

Is exactly what all of us with our shitty hair.

[A]

Whoa.

[C]

Shots fire.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

Hey, don't show up after it.

[D]

Shots fired.

[B]

Oh, man. We all showed up.

[E]

One guy has really nice hair. It's Seth.

[A]

He doesn't know about the pact we made early on in this pod not to shit on each other's hair.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[C]

I was actually just giving Seth compliments because I thought his looked pretty great today.

[B]

Yeah, his hair looks nice.

[E]

Mine looks a little scrubby.

[A]

Bill, you know what our episode is today? You know what we're talking about?

[B]

I heard it's the Gorney Weaver.

[D]

Yeah, that's why I slid it to Bill.

[A]

That's right, you slid it over and Laser Cats five. So, yeah, Laser Cats five.

[B]

Laser Cats five.

[E]

Fucking kick ass.

[A]

I'm going to say, you know, we've watched now five in a row. This is by far my favorite one.

[B]

Wow.

[F]

Oh.

[E]

Late reveal.

[A]

Multiple things I love in it, but I think one of the main things I love about it is that Sigourney Weaver is having a grand old time.

[E]

And that neither me or Keev directed it. Oh, is that your fav.

[B]

Yeah, John Kreisel directed it.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

So fuck you, Sedge.

[D]

It makes sense that it was finally good.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, I noticed a difference, but it just. It moves.

[B]

Do you remember, guys, that she asked for it in the meeting?

[E]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Go back to this.

[B]

I pitched something else, and then she went, what? No laser cats. And Andy and I looked at each other like nobody has ever asked for a laser cat.

[C]

That's right.

[E]

That's a testament to personal.

[C]

But, yes.

[A]

The premise of Laser Cats is people are famously bummed when it comes up.

[D]

Well, the story, as it went, Bill, was I pitched something super shitty, and then she Said that. And the whole room went, oh.

[A]

What?

[B]

No laser cats?

[D]

Like, we were in trouble or something. And me and you were like, would you like to do a laser cast? And she's like, well, I'm here.

[A]

Whoa.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

That's incredible.

[E]

Keev, do you remember any of this?

[A]

I don't.

[E]

I didn't. I don't remember any of this. I don't think I was in the room.

[C]

Me. I was in la. I was not here.

[B]

Remember when she said, I want to do a laser Cats? I remember that I had pitched something and she said it to me, andy, you own this. I'm gonna.

[E]

We got a lot of problems with memory on this pod here.

[A]

The only thing that matters is one of you pitched something so shitty that she thought a laser Cats would be better. Yeah.

[B]

Either way, it was a horrible pitch.

[D]

It might have been you and it might have been me.

[B]

But she went, what? No laser cats? And then I remember stupidly saying, oh, you were an alien.

[E]

I know.

[B]

She was like, yeah. She's like, I've been thinking about this more than you guys.

[E]

I was like, oh, that's great.

[A]

And then.

[D]

Which is rare for us, we then left pitch meeting and went straight back into our office and started working on it. Because it was like, okay, we clearly have to do that.

[E]

Wow.

[B]

Well, it was one of those things where you remember that feeling, though, like, to know what you're going to do on Monday the best. It was like, oh, my God, if we just do this, then that's. That's it.

[E]

It's the best feeling in the world.

[B]

I know we have on Monday. And the host likes it and it works perfect. Yes.

[D]

And it was like, the question I have, Bill, that I have no memory of is, how did it come up? Did we ask or did she offer James Cameron also being in it? Because that's what unlocked the writing. Cause it turned into a James Cameron's greatest hit.

[B]

She was promoting Avatar and then I think it was. Have we had Spielberg on already?

[D]

No, he was last year.

[B]

So to me, it was like. We were like, oh, are they in town? My memory of it is you saying, or inquiring, is he in town? Or you got. Because they were promoting it, right? And then I remember it was him and John Landau, his producer. And when they showed up and he walked in and Andy, you went, I've.

[C]

Seen the movie five times. Andy is an Avatar head.

[F]

Which is true.

[B]

And he said, well, we set out to change movies and we did.

[E]

That's what he said. That's what he said.

[B]

I was like, jesus Christ, that's so bold.

[D]

I mean, you can't argue with it.

[B]

He just whipped his dick out and was like, yep, stories are true.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

It literally, like, he basically said, only five.

[B]

Only five.

[D]

I mean.

[B]

Yeah, exactly.

[D]

Could not have been more gassed that Cameron came through.

[A]

I don't want to get ahead of it, but laser cat 6 is Elton John. Did he also say what? No Laser Cats. I can't remember.

[D]

No, I think we kind of forced that one on him.

[A]

Yeah, he said, what is laser cats comma, no.

[D]

Yeah. And then. And then later in the week, it was like, we're doing it.

[B]

Fred's impression at Elton John that week was, are we done? Are we done?

[E]

Said with a British accent. You can get away with anything. You can say anything insulting. It sounds pretty good.

[B]

I will say when Elton John did it. Andy and I got there early and we were on, I think your. What's your stage, Seth? And we went down and it was him playing the keyboard. And we. And we were like, yeah, you know, it's like you're doing a song about laser cats. And he went, oh, something like. And he just started vamping and singing Laser Cats. And it was just this thing. It was like seven in the morning and we're like, this is Elton John with arts.

[E]

Oh, my God. Wait, save these for when you come on for the next one.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

The opposite of that is when Elton John had to sing the parody songs written for him that didn't literally made no sense to him. And immediately he got lost on every.

[C]

Song, which was like, Were they parodies of Elton John?

[A]

Yeah. So it was like, I remember when the Rock was young, was a wrestler named of Dwayne Johnson. And like, none of that made.

[E]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

But the craziest was.

[C]

Good memory. Remembering all that.

[A]

Well, I think I have it printed out once a year to read it. Just the idea that.

[E]

Just how to do a parody film.

[A]

Benny and the Jets. They rewrote Benny and the jets to be Bobby Bonilla and the Mets.

[B]

I remember that.

[E]

Oh, wow, that's so eggins.

[A]

And it literally started with Elton John having to be like, hey, kids, heading down to Shea. John Olarud.

[B]

I remember this. Seth, did you. Am I wrong in saying that that was. He stopped it at the table read and said, yeah. Wait, what the fuck? Because that was the only time I had ever seen that at the show where the host stopped and went, wait, what is this? I don't know what I'm doing.

[A]

You're like, this is Getting picked.

[B]

We were like, oh, this is.

[C]

Someone's having human conversation at the read. This can't happen.

[A]

It's like, oh, no.

[E]

Like, nothing stops your heart quicker than hear.

[A]

It was literally songs he wrote and played a billion times and couldn't. And they wrote. The lyrics scan so badly. He got lost every time.

[B]

He was not into it.

[A]

Better than Tusbach, I was gonna say, but very tack.

[B]

I feel like I. That episode did.

[E]

I don't talk about that episode, Bill. You're gonna come back for it.

[D]

We're not on. We're on.

[B]

No, no, I'm talking about Sigourney Weaver once.

[C]

Sigourney. Oh, then do talk about.

[E]

You do.

[B]

Was I Conan in the Cold Open in that?

[A]

Yeah, you were Conan in this one. It was.

[B]

I was Conan in the Cold Open. I remember that.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Bill, you're jumping all over the place, dude.

[C]

You.

[D]

It's like you don't even listen to our podcast.

[B]

I've never listened to this podcast. I didn't know you guys had a podcast.

[C]

You motherfucker.

[E]

It's like you're me, man.

[A]

Hey, if you were Elton John, would you enjoy singing this to the tune of I'm Still Standing? Michael Landon, he used to be in Little House. Before that, he was on Bonanza, where.

[C]

They called him Little Joe.

[A]

Wait, what?

[E]

I mean, fucking Seth for how much you made fun of us doing references that were 20 years old.

[D]

You made fun of them too.

[C]

What was the premise?

[A]

The premise was that he had written his own album of parody songs. Oh, hello. I know you know this by now, but I'm Elton John. In my career, I've had 56 top 40 hits, seven consecutive. And the best selling single of all time. Whoop, there it is. I've won six Grammys at Tony in the Academy Award for best costume. Oh, and I'm a knight. Da da da da da. All that success doesn't mean I can't take the piss out on myself. Which is why I'm releasing here it is, a brand new album, Weird L El Elton John Sings parodies of Elton John.

[C]

Got it.

[D]

So this was just at the table?

[A]

Yeah. And then in my heart forever.

[B]

When he stopped it, it was barely at the table because he stopped. Wasn't even fully at the table.

[E]

I think we can move on.

[C]

These parody songs are about the Mets and about Little House on a Prairie.

[A]

Again. Yeah, we're not judging. He was in the right to stop it. Like, we're not judging. Also, this is maybe the first one. Hey, kids, have you been To Shea Stadium. They had a pretty good team in the mid to early 90s. They had a wacky and eclectic crew. You got John Ola, Rood, John Franco, too. It was in ESPN Magazine.

[C]

This might be good. This is so relatable.

[B]

That might be fun. That's funny. Yeah.

[A]

I mean, a fun sketch would be watching Elton John try to do this sketch.

[C]

Yeah, I think it's pretty good.

[B]

Yeah. He was not into it.

[A]

Should we do a rewatch of Laser Cats?

[D]

Well, yeah, but are we. I feel like there's steps that we're skipping.

[C]

Go ahead. Maybe.

[A]

Yeah, let's not skip.

[D]

I mean, do you have specific mems, Bill? That's why I asked you.

[B]

Memories.

[C]

No, we call them mems here.

[D]

Sorry, Memz.

[A]

Bill's very good with the mems.

[B]

Trying to be cool. Andy. Stop trying to be.

[D]

Stop trying to be what?

[A]

Stop trying to be what?

[C]

Hang on.

[D]

No, me and Bill gotta air this out.

[B]

So aesthetic.

[E]

You're so aesthetic.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[A]

I feel like Bill has really good recall of moments at the show, you know?

[D]

Except who was pitching when Sigourney.

[B]

Well, I remember I pitched it.

[D]

Well, of course you remember it. You like telling the story, first person.

[B]

Dead in the eye. And I was like, my God, you are beautiful. That was crazy.

[E]

Wait, I do have a question. I have a question, because, Bill, you and I would say Edgar Wright are our two friends that know more maybe, about film and. And are bigger, bigger cinephiles than anyone I know. Was it hard for you actually, like, to be around a level of Sigourney? Like, obviously there's different levels of different hosts sort of thing, but were you gushing the way that Andy was gushing?

[B]

I was gushing. I was more kind of freaked out around her than James Cameron, because James Cameron is like, this is towering figure, but for her, it was like alien aliens, but also like all these other.

[F]

Working girl.

[D]

You can say it.

[B]

Working girl. Working girl.

[E]

Exactly.

[B]

Working Girl. Gorillas in the Mist, Living Dangerously. All these movies where I was like, wow, she's so good.

[E]

And what'd you think of the movie Giant with James Dean? Do you like it?

[A]

Oh, yeah. Before you showed up, Jorm was shitting on Giant the movie.

[B]

Oh, he did?

[E]

Like, too long. It's a little too long.

[B]

Yeah. Giant's a long movie. It's beautiful, though.

[A]

Giant, definitely. The people, if anyone connected to Giant is still alive, I think they're probably wondering why they're catching so many strays.

[B]

Yeah, just. They Google alert themselves and they're like, what?

[A]

In the Laser Cats 5 episode they were shooting.

[D]

Sorry, let us explain. Yhorm fell off a ladder.

[B]

Grandma, listen to this. I guarantee you, Grandma, listen to this podcast. We're not going to be talking about you.

[C]

Jorm literally took a handful of pills right as this began as well.

[E]

I'm fine, guys.

[B]

I love doing the podcast with you lizard now. But no, I would. But yeah, I was really anxious. Yeah. And especially the scene where she, like, throws up on my face. I was like, this is awesome. I genuinely was so excited. And then shout out to Jeff Vandercreck was the. The giant cat.

[E]

Well, so this. This did usher in an era of laser cats that were just nothing but references.

[B]

Right.

[E]

So, like, so in terms of the writing process, because neither me or Keev.

[B]

Were there for this. Oh, so they got dumb is what you're saying?

[E]

Yeah, they got. They got dumber. They just.

[C]

Just fucking reference turned into epic movie. And yeah, when spoof. When spoof movies turned, it's like they.

[E]

Were original and they just sort of became after that.

[C]

Yeah, right, right.

[B]

It's like Last of the Spartans.

[A]

I remember, remember Lauren said, finally, this is the pablum that Joe America will enjoy.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Lauren was like, now Laser Cats sucks.

[B]

Lauren went. We just needed to play in Kansas.

[A]

Yeah. This was the most popular in middle America. This is definitely the laser cut they still talk about there.

[E]

Did you guys reference Working Girl in this? I guess we just have to watch it.

[D]

I can tell you without watching it.

[C]

No.

[A]

I like that. Yorb's like, there's just no way to know.

[B]

I remember you were. You swung around in it, Andy.

[D]

Yeah, Right. In the beginning, there's a scene where Admiral Spaceship walks in and sees his wife fucking someone else or something.

[C]

Working Girl is very good.

[E]

You guys, I'm going to power down for like, five minutes, if that's okay.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Just power down. Yeah, that makes sense.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

Again, I mean, unless you want to mention that you and Keith weren't there. Again, we weren't there.

[C]

Little known fact, Dakota Johnson's mom is in Working Girl.

[B]

Whoa.

[C]

I'll just throw these in when you.

[B]

Little known fact, Antonio Banderas ex wife is the lead.

[A]

Do you remember? You, you, you. Melaney and I wrote a sketch Avatar Chamber where you were the dude and your avatars were. Your avatar was having sex. And we kept cutting back to you and the little avatar pod, like, moving back and forth because you were getting railed. And I remember this me.

[C]

Is this Andy or Bill?

[F]

Bill.

[A]

This is Bill.

[B]

Oh, God. I don't Remember that?

[D]

I was also in it, I think.

[A]

Yeah, you were the Avatar. You were the Na', Vi, Andy.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And then Bill was the guy. Yeah, you were the guy who was Hank.

[B]

Going like.

[A]

Yeah. Just getting like, oh, did it.

[B]

Did it go to dress?

[D]

It aired.

[A]

No, it fully aired.

[B]

It aired. Oh, my God.

[A]

I remember that. But you had that. You had. You had little noodle eggs.

[B]

Oh, I do remember that, Seth.

[D]

I didn't remember the premise. I only remember that I was so relieved that costumes came up with, like, spandex body blue suits instead of paint. Yes.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And I was like, oh, thank God.

[A]

I wonder how long after Avatar came out that she hosted. Because it did feel like we put a lot of weight in people already knowing the entire plot of the movie. You know what I mean?

[B]

Yeah, but it was so popular.

[D]

I mean, everyone on Earth saw it.

[E]

Yeah, they saw it opening weekend. Everybody just.

[A]

It wasn't a slow build. Avatar didn't get to a billion on word of mouth.

[B]

It didn't have legs.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. They gave it a platform release, as they say in the biz. Just a few, actually, Seth.

[D]

It notoriously was a slow, long build.

[B]

Yeah, well, you know why? Because it snowed. Remember, there was this. It was like. I do remember this. When Avatar came out, there was all these snowstorms all over the country, and there's all these articles coming out, like, will Avatar underperform because no one can get to movie theaters.

[D]

That's right.

[B]

And then everybody. Yeah, it was huge.

[C]

It came out December 18, 2009. And this is just January 16. So this is a month later.

[A]

And. And when MacGruber came out, they were like a month long typhoon, right?

[E]

It was.

[C]

Yeah, it was. It was monsoon season.

[B]

I think Forte tried to convince everybody that there was still, to this day.

[E]

Actually, because we were running the McGruber Twitter feed. I think he just wrote my documentary, shat the bed this week.

[D]

My documentary.

[C]

Oh, well.

[E]

And then we never tweeted again.

[A]

Also, the previous tweets were all just about how Shrek, the new Shrek movie, sucked.

[E]

The previous tweets, I think, were all just about different celebrities that he was jerking it to. So it's just weird that it didn't do well.

[A]

It was like he would say, jerked it, and then in parentheses, it would be the name of who just. Right.

[E]

And also, we couldn't get MacGruber, like, at McGrber because it was already taken. So it was just Groob 69, which is just like, oh, Jesus, of course. This is not gonna do Good.

[D]

Which is what MacGruber's handle would have been.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

So it's better.

[B]

It is better. It's more accurate.

[D]

All right, so this Laser Cats, at some point, James Cameron gets thrown into the mix that made us start writing towards his movies. A fucking smart and classic move that changed the shape of Laser cats forever. Landau, Raph and Kevin Jormur, jealous because they didn't think of it. Fucking losers that bailed. And then they paid the price for being like turncoats. And Kreisel came in like a goddamned hero.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And just was like, yeah, this is easy. We're just gonna bang it out.

[E]

So he wrote it with you guys, I assume. Yes.

[D]

Yes.

[E]

Great.

[D]

And I'm trying to remember what else. I do remember the shoot being insanely fun and her being so game and having a blast and us being so.

[B]

Into it and very committed. And she was Ripley. She was playing the iconic part.

[A]

It was really fun that she's in the canon of Laser cats as a character.

[D]

I actually, Bill do specifically remember us being like, would she just be Ripley? Or is that like sacred ground? And asking her and her going, yeah, sure. And us being like, oh, my God, would I be.

[B]

You're like my girlfriend.

[A]

It would be so funny if she was both. What? No Laser Cats. And also I'm not gonna be Ripley. Ripley.

[D]

Well, we didn't know.

[E]

Try to be more original.

[B]

Oh, now you want me to just be the Ghostbusters? Get the out of here.

[D]

Yeah, that'll survive for sure. I want to be Terminator.

[A]

She's great across the breadth of this episode, which we will get to. But she did show up, I think one have a super fun time. We were in this realm where I feel like we had a couple hosts within this year, like Jeff Bridges and her, who I feel like had like 30 plus years between when they hosted and you could just tell they showed up with like a. Oh, man. I did this once. I am, like, so much wiser now. And I'm so psyched that I get another bite at the apple.

[B]

And didn't she host the episode? Like the season premiere episode with Phil Hartman and Dana Carvey's first.

[E]

The first go round?

[A]

I think so. I think she was Shoemaker's first show. Maybe that's cool.

[C]

She's not in Avatar. So what was she there for?

[B]

She's an Avatar.

[C]

She is the first avatar. She's in the new Avatars. As a teenage. As a teenage Na' Vi Akiva. Is she in it?

[D]

Akiva just stopped.

[B]

Yeah, she's in the first Avatar. Are you kissing?

[E]

Okay, Keev, your mems are faulty.

[C]

She plays two roles. Forgive me.

[B]

Wait, you're not thinking of. We're not talking about Avatar the Last Airbender. We're talking about.

[D]

You're thinking of Avatar, the live action Avatar. That M. Night shaman.

[B]

I'm thinking of M. Night.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm an M. Night guy.

[E]

Keith has such a bad memory.

[C]

You're right. So she plays two different. Oh.

[A]

Cause then she clumps it. She classic it. Was there a clump?

[C]

She clumps. That's what I was wondering. Did she clump it?

[B]

She does a classic clump. Yeah, she clumped it.

[C]

I haven't seen the original in so long. You know, I've seen the Way of Water recently because I took Andy to a private screening because it was out of theaters, and I was like, you have to see it in the full. Like, crazy 4K or the.

[E]

Who allowed you to do that, Keith?

[C]

48 frames per second.

[E]

Since you want to talk about it so bad.

[C]

Well, now I'm proving that I do remember it. She plays the teenager in that one. But that made me think she wasn't in the first because I haven't seen it in so long.

[E]

But she is so glad I get to rip on somebody for a bad memory.

[D]

Yes, Keith, you step right into it.

[E]

Your mems are bad.

[C]

Yeah. Bill, did you see Way of Water?

[B]

No, I didn't.

[E]

What? I just said that you were a cinephile.

[B]

I am a cinephile. But, yeah, I didn't. I didn't see the way.

[E]

You're just like.

[C]

I just.

[E]

I get it.

[A]

I get it. When you say cinephiles, do you think. Are you just thinking, like, people in French cafe, like, wrapped up in scarves, talking about Avatar, Way of Water?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

It was also weird, Yorm. I didn't want to call it out because you're on so many pills, but being like, Bill, you're such a cinephile. You and Edgar Wright are the biggest cinephiles ever. Were you super geeked out that Sigourney Weaver was there for Avatar and Aliens?

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[E]

Andy doesn't like when I'm sincere.

[B]

Where were you when you saw Halloween? H2O?

[D]

Guys, not that you were insincere. It's that you're just wrong. Like, those aren't cinephile movies.

[A]

Tokyo Drift.

[E]

He's seen them all. Seen them all.

[D]

They're blockbusters that everyone has seen. It's sort of the opposite.

[E]

Okay, well, then I Guess he proved it by saying that he hasn't seen Way of Water.

[A]

He thought cinefile was French for worked at a blockbuster once.

[E]

Yeah, didn't Truffaut do Way of Water, though?

[C]

There we go.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

Thank you.

[E]

Come to power down, guys.

[A]

Support comes from AG1. It means the need for multivitamin probiotics and more. For less than $3 per day with a subscription, you're getting more than $7 worth of daily nutritional support. And Yoram, you were telling me, like, your whole goal is, like, once you're walking again, you're gonna be healthier than ever. So you're using this time to just, like, load up with the multivitamins and probiotics and whatnot.

[E]

I'm dunking on AG1 every morning, Seth.

[A]

Is that like an every morning situation?

[E]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is, actually.

[A]

And now that means probably more energy, fewer supplements, better digestive sport. Is that all stuff that's been part of your day?

[E]

Everything you said is way more descriptive than when I said everything, everything. You know?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. AG1's clinically backed formula is now flavor packed with new, delicious flavors like tropical berry and citrus in addition to original. Why AG? Why? Why? You ask AG1 over other products? Well, why?

[E]

Oh, sorry, I thought it was my part.

[A]

Why?

[C]

Hey, Ding dong. Akiva. Just. Hey, I just. Were you guys talking about AG1? I was just walking by.

[A]

Thanks for ringing the doorbell before you walked in.

[C]

Wow. God, I love it. I love AG1. It's. To me, it's helping raise the standard with multiple gold standard clinical trials.

[A]

I'm glad you showed up because you're really the kind of person who can spin a sentence like that that uses standard twice. You guys head to drinkag1.com island to get a free welcome kit, including a bottle of vitamin D and free AG1 travel packs when you first subscribe. That's drink ag1.com island.

[C]

Support for the Lonely island and Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb. I wish I'd roped Liz into this because it's her parents. When her parents come to town, you know, we have a guest room, but it's quite small for two people to stay in, and then they're in your kitchen and stuff like that. And they're lovely, but, you know, it's nice to have a little extra space. So she has taken upon herself to find them their own space on Airbnb nearby. And they love it because they borrow one of our cars or rent a car and they live over There and they can watch their TV as loud as they want and they can do what they want. But then when they come over to us, they're cheery eyed and bright because they aren't invading our space and feeling bad about it.

[E]

Well, that's what you refreshed from parents.

[C]

To be able to like your here. You scared the shit out.

[E]

Yeah, no, sorry. I was here the whole time. That's what you want from parents or parents in law for them to be bright eyed, bushy tails. You can just hand them your kids and be like, there you go, get gone.

[C]

Well, I love staying in welcoming homes that I book on Airbnb. But it's got me thinking my home could do the same for someone else. You've been to my house, Yorm. What would you pay for my house?

[E]

Thousand dollars. I'm not good with prices.

[B]

Sold.

[C]

Come over here and give me a thousand dollars and I'll go somewhere else. I already put love into all the details of my home. Why not help someone feel comfortable? Comfortable and taken care of while they're traveling. When I'm away from home. Think about it, Yorm. 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. The extra income you make could be put towards an upcoming trip of your own. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how [e-mail] host.

All right.

[D]

Should we watch?

[F]

Yeah, let's watch it.

[A]

Yeah, let's watch it. Keev, you want to do the honors?

[C]

Yeah, I got it.

[A]

Here.

[E]

Yvonne, thanks for meeting with me. I really appreciate it.

[B]

James.

[D]

Of course.

[B]

And congratulations on Avatar.

[C]

You know, there was sections of it.

[B]

That reminded me of three amigos.

[D]

You picked up on that.

[E]

That's great.

[C]

Look, I'm gonna cut to the chase, okay?

[D]

I'VE got my next project.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

I mean, the best part about that joke is that the poster is behind him.

[C]

I was gonna say you guys moved. You moved it because the poster's on the. On the other side.

[B]

It's on the opposite wall. The other thing is, do you remember this? That James. They had cue cards, and James Cameron went, I don't need those.

[D]

That's right.

[A]

He's very good in it.

[B]

James Cameron went, get those out of here. He's like, I don't need them.

[D]

He was off book.

[A]

Also, I think the best thing about that joke, Andy, is I watched this this morning, and no one. It doesn't get a single laugh from the audience. And I was very confident it would get a hard laugh from you today on the rewatch, and it did.

[D]

It's a good joke.

[C]

Yeah, it's a good joke.

[A]

And it's not really meant to get a laugh, but it's very nice.

[D]

Also, we'll say Lauren's got a nice haircut going in this one.

[A]

He really does.

[B]

Also, this is, like real Canadian power right here.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And James Cameron's got real long hair going. I didn't remember that.

[B]

That was his.

[C]

His vibe.

[D]

Oh, yeah. Flowing man.

[E]

We also can I mentioned, too, that Lauren did write Three Amigos. So just shout out to like him being a writer and really talented, because that's a very funny movie. You know what, Andy?

[B]

You don't work there anymore.

[C]

You aren't gonna put you in the cast.

[E]

It's not all jokes. Not everything is gonna be a joke.

[A]

You know, he didn't write it by himself.

[C]

Fun fact, Randy. New.

[A]

That was my rant. That was my Randy.

[E]

He wrote it in St. Bart with his guys, and he told me about it at one point. All right, go.

[A]

Keep going, Steven.

[C]

Randy, here we go.

[D]

I've got my next project all ready to go, and I think it's gonna be perfect for the show.

[B]

Wow.

[D]

If you're behind it, I'll put it on the air.

[E]

Great.

[D]

Okay, guys.

[A]

Hi.

[C]

A rare from Lawrence. That's rare.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

There was a nuclear war, and because of all the radiation, cats developed the.

[B]

Ability to shoot lasers out of their mout.

[C]

Some will use the cats for good, others for evil.

[B]

Who will win in a world of.

[A]

One?

[E]

Whoo.

[C]

Did you hear that?

[E]

Terminator font. Pretty sweet.

[A]

Yep.

[E]

Already a good joke using technology now.

[D]

Is that like the first ever iPhone, or is that an ipod?

[C]

What are we looking at? It looks like an ipod touch to me.

[A]

Yeah, I think you're right, but that's.

[D]

An Actual thing you could do in it. That's not a fact.

[E]

Okay. They're drinking beer. Digital beer out of iPhones, right? Or ipods.

[D]

Or ipods. We're not sure.

[E]

Whoa.

[B]

Emo sabi. Don't you care about the environment?

[C]

Negativo.

[D]

What's nature ever done for me?

[A]

Pause it real quick.

[C]

Some avatar nature verse tech themes.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

Love when you. Love when you set when you just like right in the first minute layer in the dumb thing that's gonna be called back.

[D]

That's classic. That's laser cat's fun.

[B]

I only have five minutes.

[A]

I know, it's great. You guys waste no time.

[E]

There's also a good anti continuity joke of the waitress being having passed twice.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[E]

Which is a little background joke.

[A]

I also like the reason people litter is nature's never done anything for them.

[C]

Why recycle? Negativo.

[D]

What's nature ever done for me?

[A]

Oh, geez.

[B]

We're getting a call on our video glasses from the science chief Admiral spaceship Nitro.

[A]

I'm sending YouTube back in time to the year 3023 me.

[D]

Your mission, destroy the hive where Laser cat.

[C]

Half ass.

[E]

Oh God. I also love that it's changing the history of how laser cats came to be. It doesn't even care what the thing looks.

[C]

Oh man. So this is a little kind of Terminator logic happening here.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Stop laser cats from ever existing.

[E]

Godspeed, boys.

[C]

Oh, that's good.

[E]

Welcome to the past, boys. Been expecting you, chief.

[C]

You look exactly the same.

[D]

Follow me if you want to get Rachel in.

[C]

Just standing right with her coffee looking super annoyed. But you guys are. You guys. They just so for people not watching, they just terminated back in time. So they're butt naked now. Except for the stuff, the helmet and then Rachel, who is our assistant at the time, who just.

[E]

She's just watching them.

[C]

Yeah, she's looking at the script for the short itself. By the way, she emailed us last week that she has the maze from booty call. Yeah. With all the booby traps.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Did you. Did you draw that Andy yourself? The maze with heck of booby traps?

[D]

I don't think so. It looked too good.

[C]

Yeah, it did look really good. You look exactly the same.

[A]

Follow me if you want to live the central high.

[D]

So we say he looks exactly the same, but don't explain before they hatch patch.

[C]

So now you're in aliens Blaster.

[E]

Robot.

[C]

So it's a mix of aliens and alien, I guess.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, robot.

[C]

That's why you look the same.

[D]

Immediately pay it off.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[E]

Okay. Can I critique this because we didn't direct it. Why is the alien cat so good? You know what I mean? Where'd you guys get that? I don't buy it. Don't buy it for a second.

[C]

Oh, oh, yeah. You're just saying. It's not in the do it yourself aesthetic.

[A]

Diy.

[E]

It's very good though. It's very cool.

[A]

I think it's okay because of how dumb it looks when the little laser cat comes out of the big cat's mouth.

[B]

Does that look like a cat to you, Jorma?

[E]

That doesn't look like it's also changed from the other mascot.

[D]

We had to do it this way to get the next part that you forgot about. That's about to happen.

[E]

Happen. Okay, I'm sorry.

[C]

Well, also, James Cameron directed this one. Not them exactly.

[E]

Oh, that's true.

[A]

Hey, get away from them, you Ripley. Believe it or not.

[C]

Oh, God. Ripley's Believe it or not joke is brutal. Brutal. That's the right word for it.

[A]

Brutal.

[B]

That is brutal.

[A]

I mean, it's so bad. And the minute someone said it out loud, you knew it had to be in.

[D]

Correct.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

It feels like it needs her to turn the camera and wink to make an excuse.

[A]

Perfect. It's perfect.

[B]

Yeah. I think it's just. It's disturbing.

[A]

It's impossible to hear it without seeing a person wink.

[E]

Believe it or not.

[B]

Good.

[E]

Good flame effect. That's that Kryzal.

[C]

It just wait. It's a completely different.

[E]

Yeah, yeah. No, the mascot, the cat has changed.

[C]

From a profile, you had two life size cat costumes.

[A]

Yeah, well, because this one's mouth didn't open so you couldn't. Exactly.

[D]

One of them had to have the alien come out.

[B]

Yeah, it's pretty simple.

[D]

That was just the head.

[C]

So looking back, it was also a different one. In the beginning there, it was just the head for the special shot.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Shout out to the. There's a force perspective thing like. So that's how you guys made the. The cat big, which is great.

[B]

Price will know how to do that kind of stuff.

[C]

I guess he's. Yeah, he really was great.

[A]

Yeah. No, every. When you guys directed stuff, everything was only ever the size it was.

[C]

That's right.

[E]

That's right.

[B]

Notoriously, you guys like making things smaller.

[C]

Actually, we didn't know how to make anything bigger.

[B]

You like that hobbit thing?

[A]

So that's the second time someone said, come with me if you want to live. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

They say it a lot.

[C]

That's exactly what Fred had said.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

We keep saying it.

[D]

That's the kind of line that has to be. It reminds me of a long while back, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, right. Got interviewed and they were talking about how every week they watch movies together and that they're like, what kind of movies do you guys watch? And they're like, we like to watch movies where somebody says, get some rest.

[B]

Also. They also like. They like movies where someone says, close a perimeter.

[C]

Yeah, secure the perimeter.

[D]

Secure the perimeter.

[B]

Clear the perimeter.

[C]

Hey, get some rest. Get some rest. We got a big day tomorrow. Really good rest.

[B]

We got a big day tomorrow.

[D]

Get some rest. We leave at dawn.

[E]

What a bunch of cinephiles.

[D]

Oh, yarm.

[C]

All right, here we go.

[A]

Stay alert. We're close. Razor bat.

[C]

That shot is so dumb.

[D]

Game changer.

[B]

Game changer.

[D]

So soccer, I believe game changer is something he said irl about Avatar or it was like a thing about Avatar.

[B]

That was where I think the phrase game changer came into the lexicon.

[E]

Well, I will say this was always a fun part of Laser Cats is deciding what the shittiest fucking part was to be able to cut back to Lauren.

[D]

Yes. By the way, Laser bat's not really a reference. Maybe kind of, you could say as an Avatar reference, but not really. It was designed to be this movie moment.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

To be bad.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Really good dummy.

[A]

Come on, we've got to move on. Okay.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, that was funny. I remember that. Oh, we gotta move on.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

I was like Krysel, always very good at like surprising editing and like really cutting to it. That is a great edit.

[C]

My legs and I'll never walk again. Ad are room.

[B]

Thanks for the save back there.

[A]

Save the love letters, kid. We'll be lucky to get out of here alive.

[C]

Speaking of which, Y. These are laser kitten eggs.

[A]

They're about to hatch.

[D]

Can see my hand in shot. Toilet.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Cats coming out of boxes. Great.

[C]

Yeah, kittens. Kittens coming out of little boxes.

[D]

Yeah. It was the cutest ones.

[B]

We can get your audience going. Oh yeah.

[E]

I will say it's. It's hard. It's hard on how shitty this. All the laser cats looks to like give credit to things. But like There were like 10 great moments in like 10 seconds there. Like they're all. They're all shitty to look at, but they're so smart and good it.

[C]

Yeah. Cuz Jake Sully's legs don't work right. That's why being an avatar is such.

[E]

A. Yeah, but also Andy like doing his own like cryogenic, like Cardboard thing coming down over your face is really funny. There's, like, really good.

[C]

Now, is there. In the original avatar, is there some sort of visualization, a swirling visual when he becomes an avatar that the toilet is mimicking?

[D]

Yeah, it's like going down through, like, you know, neural tubes.

[C]

Excellent.

[D]

So we got the toilet flushing.

[A]

Looks like this was a one way ticket. Kimasabi.

[D]

She says Kimasabi.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

That's just. We thought that was kind of their thing, but it turns out that's just part of what people in this world.

[E]

Says, part of the lexicon.

[A]

Everybody in space says Kimosabi.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay. And they're really close. They've really bonded throughout the film. Holding hands.

[B]

Yeah, that's better.

[D]

You can get that nitro hit quickly.

[E]

Make the connection.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Okay, this is.

[E]

This is great.

[B]

So the hat. The funny thing is, like, we would do these things and then there'd be, like, no laughing on set. It would just be Andy doing that and then be like, okay, we'll just go again.

[E]

Well, it's the reversing of the film. Right. The fucking he. Andy comes in with his ponytail, connects his cat's tail, wearing a baseball cat and blue face paint as avatar.

[A]

This still, I have to keep reminding myself, this still is not like a. A racist thing from 15 years ago. Andy's gonna get canceled for.

[C]

Oh, God.

[D]

I believe the reason I'm wearing the hat is. Cause the ponytail is connected to the hat.

[B]

Connected to the hat.

[D]

So I was like, all right, just wear the hat then. And also my glasses.

[B]

I mean, you look like you're playing Frisbee golf someplace.

[C]

Yeah, it's all really kind of perfect.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Also, he's wearing glasses, and there's no picture. Face paint under the glasses on the.

[A]

Glass, you look more like a Blue man group drummer going out a stage door than you do Navi. Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

Well, guys, do you want the. The cat not to look too good? Do you want the navi to look after.

[A]

You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.

[C]

No, I think this is. This is all looking really good.

[B]

This is part of the, you know, the world.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Again, props to whichever you guys are. Krystal, who came up with the idea of twisting it all together and then playing it in reverse.

[D]

I'm guessing that was Kreisel.

[A]

Quickly make the connection.

[D]

You better believe I was the one who wanted to make the connection.

[A]

He's using the power of nature.

[C]

The teeth, all for one shot. What did that say?

[D]

I said, like, two Tiny syllables. And it's a very long subtitle.

[C]

Look at the most you see on YouTube, it's the most replayed moment.

[D]

Ripley. Nitro, get behind me quickly. I'm not joking around. This is serious.

[C]

There you go.

[B]

Then we got Jason, Bobby, Mulaney and Joe.

[D]

Yes. Then we go Titanic.

[A]

Beautiful, tiny Titanic moment here. Great.

[E]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

All in their nice tuxes.

[B]

They all had to go through wardrobe, get fitted.

[C]

They look fantastic.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Do all that stuff. Bring everything in for that.

[C]

It's the highest production value in the whole thing. Yeah, they all look impeccable. We're staying.

[A]

Good job, boys. You finally rid the.

[D]

Wait, go back in the wide shot. It's a double. It's not Sigourney.

[B]

No. Yeah.

[E]

Oh, Jessie.

[B]

Not her.

[E]

That's great.

[C]

So you guys had to plan that and do it because.

[D]

Well, because I believe it's because there is a stunt of some sort upcoming and we got a wide shot with her and then we decided to start on the shot.

[B]

Yeah, just have her look back and forth.

[D]

That was not Sigourney.

[A]

Amazing.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

That's great.

[A]

You finally rid the world of laser cats.

[B]

Fred drinking coffee in the back, the same spot.

[D]

Nitro is Fred. Who is dead.

[B]

He's dead and drinking.

[A]

Laser cats nitro. Thanks for being my wingman, Sid.

[C]

Lovers kid.

[A]

Welcome back to the present where laser cats still exist.

[B]

Damn.

[D]

I gotta say, this movie combined with Avatar could make a billion dollars.

[E]

Get out. No, I'm serious.

[B]

No, I mean, get out of my office.

[E]

What if I offered you some out of 10 titanium? No.

[D]

It's really hard to get. No.

[A]

Very good.

[D]

My favorite joke I wrote.

[E]

Oh, well, by the way, his, like, read on that. Really hard to get.

[B]

No, he was really confident. He was so confident.

[E]

Why? Why do you think he's so confident, you guys?

[A]

Did you give him a pep talk? Did you give him a pep talk right ahead of time?

[B]

We. Yeah. We told him how the whole week runs. Monday, Fish Tuesday. You write.

[C]

You're like.

[D]

This is gonna feel awkward, but trust us, it's gonna go great.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

You're gonna get nervous, play straight to card. I gotta say, maybe it's because. What? We weren't involved, but I might agree with Seth. Is that the best laser cats? That might be the best one this good.

[C]

And I take back my epic movie comment because this is disciplined. It's all within one genre. It's not. There weren't all of a sudden moments from Forrest Gump or something in here.

[E]

Not a word you associate with laser cats. But Disciplined.

[C]

Yeah. I also barely remember this because I didn't work on it, and I only saw it probably when it aired and then maybe clicked it once or twice after. That was really good. So good job, guys. It was better than I even remembered.

[D]

Thanks.

[C]

We have a voice note from Chrysalis. Shall we all listen?

[A]

Yeah, let's listen to the Chrysler voice now.

[E]

Oh, I hope it's as cocky as James Cameron.

[C]

James Cameron being confident. That's not what you'd think, huh?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I thought he was gonna be like, are you sure?

[E]

Can I stay?

[A]

I don't know. Should I say it? Like, wait, the Lorne Michaels? I don't know.

[B]

Are you guys okay with me even being in here?

[E]

If I win an Oscar, what do.

[A]

You think I should say?

[C]

I better keep this movie pretty cheap. I don't know if anyone's gonna see it. I better.

[B]

I don't wanna lose my shirt or anything.

[A]

They should call all my movies the Titanic. Cause they all sink. Oh, just lower the A little bit more. I don't know.

[B]

Every moment during the shoot, I always go, oh, James, you bit off more than you can chew again.

[A]

I'll pay for the marketing. I'll pay for the marketing. Can we play the crystal voice note?

[F]

I really love this genre of two friends making a movie. Science fiction movie. I made so many of these with my cousins, and. And what we always were doing was we had no way of editing it, so we had to shoot each shot, pause it, shoot the next shot. So the dialogue had to go over it. And there's this shot in here where Sigourney is saying to Bill Hader, like.

[A]

You gotta get over it.

[D]

He didn't make it.

[F]

And it just cuts to the next shot. His emotion is totally off. And he's just like, okay, that was ripped right from my childhood of just very inconsistent performances because you can't keep track of that. It's just too hard because you're pausing it and starting it. And we taped over one of our movies one time and we were all crying. So this genre. As a fan watching the show before coming on to do Laser Cats 5, I was like, ah, yes, I appreciate the Laser Cats genre. What else? It's. This thing is so dense and has so many visual effects, but it actually was really hard. I remember Sigourney Weaver was awesome. And her acting. Watching it now, I'm like, she's acting so well. She's such a good actress. And it's really funny to see you guys obviously acting badly.

[D]

Whoa, whoa.

[B]

I was doing the best I could.

[F]

Just right there, fully in it. Commits to the bit. I remember the kittens was challenging because they wouldn't come out of their boxes.

[B]

I just wanted to go to sleep in their boxes.

[F]

Slash, eggs. James Cameron. I mean, right at the height of Avatar 1.

[B]

Maybe.

[A]

Maybe send some JAV over to Chrysler.

[F]

I just don't. It just seems like a blur. So many Terminator.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

Anyway, I got nothing.

[D]

In his defense, I texted him at like 11pm last night. I think he recorded into that. And I only did it because Akiva was like, laser cats tomorrow. I wasn't there. You getting a voice note?

[C]

Yeah, I was being a good pod producer.

[A]

Oh, it was good.

[E]

That was a bad.

[D]

I don't want to do the podcast at all. And he was like, I wasn't there, dude.

[B]

You guys are fighting. This is fun.

[E]

This is what people tune in for, by the way. Like, though. Like, that is the joy is the joy of Laser Cats, like, is that we all sort of made shit like this when we were kids, like, you know, in camera editing. And not to, like, expose our ages or anything like that, but, you know.

[B]

No, he's true. And James Cameron even said this when we brought Andy, do you remember? We brought out the TV and the vhs. And he goes, I remember rigs like this.

[D]

I didn't.

[B]

He called it a rig. I was like.

[D]

And I was only a few years ago.

[B]

And I was like, well. And I was like, oh, yeah, we used to. I mean, these. This thing's kind of like, you know when you make videos when you're a kid and you cut between two vcrs, you know? And then I go, did you ever do anything like that? And he said to me, I bet you do British a lot.

[C]

What? That's.

[E]

Oh, my God.

[B]

And I went, I do. I do do British a lot.

[C]

He can see the talent in people.

[B]

Yeah, he just went, I bet you.

[C]

Do British a lot, huh, Andy? I assume this is one that aired unfinished a little bit and then got fixed up on Monday.

[D]

Yes.

[C]

Based on Krystle saying how hard it was to do the vfx.

[D]

The thing I remember the most that we fixed on Monday was after Admiral Spaceship makes the Connection. The stuff that comes out of the laser cats and shoots the eggs.

[C]

The electricity stuff.

[D]

Yeah, the electricity stuff. It looked like. I mean, no one in the audience really cared one way or the other because it's all supposed to kind of look shit, but it was not the intention of shittiness that we had going into it. And me and Krystal I remember being like, let's just fix it up for.

[C]

Reruns and the Internet.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

I don't know if you remember this, Andy, but did, because obviously, when we were at the show, we did not have the infrastructure of, like, additional editors. I assume Kreisel edited this himself, did all of the effects himself, because neither me or Keith were there. And I will say, in doing the Spielberg one with you, hardest week of my life by far. By far.

[D]

Yeah. It's a ton of work. Even though you're making it look bad, you still have to do it. Do an effect for every single one of those shots. And it's. The timeline is.

[C]

He might have outsourced it, too, because there were editors there. And I remember Krystal working with them a little more than me. And you did.

[E]

I don't know. Like, I don't know if anybody helped me on.

[C]

But he's definitely an editor. He definitely edited it himself.

[B]

I will say, from my standpoint, Andy did a ton of work on this. And, I mean, we say we wrote it. I was basically in the room and Andy was writing it, and I was like, yeah, that's funny. That's good. That's kind of how I was the whole time at the show. I was like, oh, that's pretty funny. But he.

[D]

Is that true?

[B]

I feel like you guys did.

[A]

Bill's just working so hard to make sure people know you wrote Ripley's Believe it or Not.

[C]

Well, that's.

[D]

I think the odds are very high.

[B]

I just want nothing. I don't want anything to do.

[C]

You don't want anything to do with it.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

As a cinephile, this is called distancing yourself. No, but it really was. You did, like, like, so much work on this.

[D]

As mentioned, I was extremely gassed on Avatar at the moment. So all the Avatar stuff, I was like, I want to get to do those things. Even if it's the shitty version.

[B]

He did it great. I mean, Krystal did so much work, too, but on set and everything, it really was, you know, you and him so well.

[C]

Thanks.

[B]

You guys did a great job.

[D]

It was so much fun.

[B]

I have to hop off, guys. I have to.

[A]

Love you. Thank you so much for coming, Billy.

[B]

Love you, buddy.

[E]

Thank you very much, Bill. Thank you for joining us. Love you guys.

[D]

Thanks for doing that.

[B]

Yeah, that was fun.

[A]

Bill, do you have. Do you have 30 seconds?

[B]

Sure.

[A]

I'm going to just show you. This is something that I really liked from this episode. It's the first 30 seconds of disco Junction, and it's this move Kenan does where he just has a conversation with somebody off camera, but you only hear Kenan's lines.

[H]

All right, I'm Jerry. Phil d'.

[C]

Ache.

[H]

This is Disco Booty Junction.

[C]

Hmm.

[H]

I see we got a new disco ball up in here. Well, we can do that, but I can't get a box of Nabisco Nilla Wafers in my dressing room. Oh, they're in there. Well, they're not open, are they? They are, but, you know, there's a mouse in my dressing room. Oh, you saw it? Was it big? Don't tell me it was how big? Oh, that's nasty.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

He's literally the only cast member that could do that.

[E]

Was that Tucker who wrote that? That's fucking rude.

[A]

No, this is James and Kent.

[B]

Oh, God.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Kenan can make. I learned so much from just, like, pulling laughs where there are no laughs and just finding areas that. I know this is a different episode. I'm sorry. But real quick, before I leave, do you remember the Sarah Palin episode, Josh Brolin, where we did the fall foliage?

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

And you remember Kenan's last line?

[D]

Oh, yes, We've covered, actually, this what.

[C]

Would remind me of Keenan.

[E]

Yeah. Remind our viewers.

[B]

So that last line, Andy, you were in that sketch, right?

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

You remember that? The sketch was dying.

[D]

Yep.

[B]

And I feel like you and I had the exact same thought, which was, this is dying. And Kenan has to say, he allowed me to be raped. And then we looked over at Kenan, and Kenan was also thinking it and.

[E]

Looking at us like, no.

[D]

He's like, oh, no.

[B]

Live on air. We're like. I look at you and you're like, dude, I feel so bad for Keenan right now. We're reading each other's thoughts so that I just. We both look over at Keenan and he's like, all right, here we go.

[C]

To the firing squad. It's been a good run, fellas. You're a special leap.

[B]

Yeah, it was just. Yeah, it was, like, beyond taking one for the team, but just that moment is an SNL moment. I think about all the time, how we were just so in sympatico with each other, just looking at him going bad and that he. He just smiled like, all right, here we go.

[E]

Oh, my God. God bless. That's amazing.

[B]

I love. I was just like. That was awesome. Forever. Love that guy. All right, guys.

[A]

Love you.

[D]

All right, Billy.

[E]

Nice to see you, Bill.

[C]

Thanks, Bill.

[A]

Love you guys.

[C]

Nice to see you later.

[D]

Thanks, dude.

[C]

Okay, guys, support comes from fabric.

[A]

Hey, can't wait to hear what you have to say, Keith.

[C]

Well, it's actually a question for both of you. Jorm, Seth, when did you first get a term life insurance policy?

[A]

When I started having kids.

[E]

Kids, yeah.

[C]

That makes sense.

[A]

Yoram, you actually managed to get one halfway down the fall, right? I did, yes.

[C]

That's how long you were falling for.

[E]

You were like. It was a long time.

[A]

And that makes sense because it's so.

[C]

Easy to do with fabric. You could do it in the amount of time it takes to fall from a ladder.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Having a term life insurance policy means if something unexpected happens like that and you're not there to provide for your family, they'll still have some financial protection. Fabric by Gerber Life makes it easy.

[A]

And I do just want to jump in and say based on everything Jorm has told us about the ladder, it wasn't totally unexpected. No, no.

[E]

I had it at a 45 degree angle, which is now I feel like no one's going to pity me because it was a really bad decision on my part. But yes, everything that Keith just said, just to bring it back to that. Totally true about fabric.

[C]

Fabric by Gerber Life is term life insurance you can get done today. Made for busy parents like you all online on your schedule, right from your couch, you could be covered in under 10 minutes with no health exam required.

[A]

Quick questions for you, Keev. Does fabric have flexible, high quality policies that fit your family and your budget like a million dollars in coverage for less than a dollar a day?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Is there, Is there a risk?

[C]

No, there's no risk. In fact, there's a 30 day money back guarantee and you can cancel at any time. Does that sound good?

[A]

That sounds great. But I bet there's no such thing as like free digital wills or tools to invest in your kids future and more.

[C]

Well, you're about to feel pretty silly.

[E]

Because you're gonna be molded. It's Here it comes.

[C]

They do have free digital wheels and they have tools to invest in your kids future and more.

All right.

[D]

So, Seth.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

You were on SNL last week.

[C]

Just circle back to it. That was perfect. You teased me.

[E]

Here we go.

[A]

Finally. You know, I do think one of the skills of being a talk show host is don't stay married to your plant, right?

[C]

Yeah, but we want to hear about it.

[A]

I feel like before we hear about it. So Disco Booty Junction. The entirety of it was Kenan trying to figure out which it was Wiig and Sigourney Weaver, which one of them was amber and cream and they wouldn't tell him who was who. But then at the end of the sketch, Kenan does the back half. It like, completes the story of the first half.

[H]

Join us next week on Disco. What's that they taking us off the air.

[C]

Why?

[H]

Cause disco's dead. So the show is just done. Well, do I still need to come here next Saturday? I do.

[C]

Why?

[H]

Oh, to help clean up. Well, what time in the morning? Why so early? Oh, so they want us out that quick? All right, but in that case.

[F]

Wait a minute.

[H]

Those are my little waivers. Thank you from all of us at Disco Booty Junction for the last time. I'm Jerry. Phil Darche.

[A]

That was a mouse.

[C]

How did that not get more.

[E]

That's really funny.

[A]

I know. It's crazy.

[C]

Really good.

[A]

It's a. It stays in my head. Snl. It is. First of all, I cannot tell you how surreal it is to come back and do snl, which is on the physical hallway that I work all week long and becomes a completely different place on a Saturday. Like, there's literally no familiarity to a place. I come every day when an SNL is happening because the vibe is just so different.

[D]

Right.

[A]

It's like I have an office above a nightclub, like, during the week, and then I, like, go to the nightclub. So it was super fun. Obviously, there was, like, so little for me to do in the best possible way, which was just show up. And, like, I think, like, people were just happiest that we were there. It also was so weird to, like, do. Basically, you do dress rehearsal at update. Like, if dress rehearsal starts at 8, it's probably around 9 o' clock at night. You do dress and then it's over. And you go up and you talk to the update guys. And, you know, Pete and Josh and Scott were all there when I was there. Megan Callahan was there when we were there. So it's all people I know. So for like, three minutes, you talk about how it went and what to change, and then you're like, all right, so when's the next thing? And it's like 12, 15 at night, and you have, like, three hours. And that used to be the busiest three hours of my week. Just, like, running and putting out fires. But, like, that's not my job anymore. And it was just the weirdest. Poehler said once, going back to SNL after your off, it is like being a ghost in a house you used to live in. You know, like, you're like my memories and people are just, like, walking through you.

[D]

Yeah, everyone's running around and they're all super locked in. Yeah, that was like that for me, doing the political stuff last season.

[A]

Yeah, I imagine.

[D]

Especially if we didn't have a short that week, which we did two of like, five or six episodes I did. And the ones where it didn't, if I was just in the cold open, it was the exact same thing.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Where I'd be like, okay, I did those like seven lines and now I'm just sitting.

[A]

And it's a lot of. You know, it's weird. It just feels like if you were playing like high school sports and your game was the next match, like, you know, you're just like waiting and that yet there's energy going on and you have no place to.

[C]

Is waiting worse? Like, did you find yourself getting more nervous than you normally would because you didn't have somewhere to fight?

[A]

I wasn't even nervous. It just felt like nostalgic for having purpose. Yeah. I went up and I sat in the old writers room and There were like 11 or 12 writers, most of whom were in their first or second year. And that was a super fun hang.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And then, you know, after the show, like after update, it was so fun to go back in Higgins office, which is where I would have gone after update back in the day.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

I also ended up back in Higgins office. And it was so fun.

[A]

And when the show ended, you know, obviously there's an after party, but from like 1 to 2 in the morning, it was me, Higgins, Shoemaker, Kenward and Jost. And it's so funny because I'm like, oh, this is the thing I missed the most.

[E]

That was always the room. Even on the 50th, like when you guys were in the audience, I headed straight to Higgins.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Well, there's also good drinks in there too.

[A]

Good drinks. Also Higgins. Just good drinks. Higgins doing crazy bits. I did a long bit about how he used to write Stand up for Fang, Phyllis Diller's husband. He would write rebuttal jokes for Fang. Cause he felt like he treated unfairly in Phyllis Stiller Stand up.

[D]

Some of the hardest moments of laughing in my entire life. And this is saying a lot are watching Higgins go crazy in his office on nine.

[E]

Yeah. So, yeah.

[D]

Something magic happens in there.

[E]

Yeah. Different level of funny.

[C]

You go to the party, Seth?

[A]

I did. I also brought a Pre made like these via Crota. This great restaurant in New York. We've all been there. They do these Pre made cocktails. So I brought up a bottle of Pre made Negroni from my dressing room and then he kept saying he was making people Negroni and then he wanted full credit because he was putting an orange peel in them. I went to the party. To answer your question, Keith, it was super fun. Poehler's parents, Poehler's kids were there, which was great. Forte was there. Maya and PTA were there, and it was lovely to see them. I got to tell pta, I said, I know this is what you want to hear most. I saw one battle after another at 10:20 in the morning on a Friday, and it was great to see him, and it was just super fun. And mostly, like, Tina and I were talking about how the entirety of our career, we feel like we only score when we have great jokes. And when we rolled out, people were just so happy to see us. And I was like, oh, this must be what it's like to be a performer with charisma.

[D]

She's just like, did you guys write your own jokes or you just slotted in and did what they did?

[A]

We wrote both. Tina and I sent in jokes. I think I. I think one. I think I wrote one, and Baza wrote one of mine. Also. The update guys wrote a ton and sent it to us. Like, we didn't have to, you know, and they had great stuff.

[E]

So fun. Did you go to the after after?

[A]

No.

[E]

You didn't?

[A]

Couple drinks in Higgins office and then no drinks at the after after. Because I was very. I had a lot of. Of appreciation for Alexi and my kids for being super cool about the fact that. That daddy was going back to his old stomping grounds.

[C]

That's impressive. You end up at that restaurant. You were at some nice table in the back near Lauren's table or at Lauren's table, and you didn't get yourself a drink.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Hard to do.

[A]

Good for you. I was walking around. Oh, Charli XCX was there, and I got to talk to her about the short and how much I loved it.

[D]

Did she say she misses me and Keef?

[A]

She did, yeah. Oh, that's nice. She did, yeah, she did, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like one of the reasons I left the party early was based on how young everybody was. I felt like I looked like the mummy.

[C]

It is surprising how young. But then you look over and the table has like, well, you know, Lauren and Martin short or whatever. And I was like, oh, I'm fine. This is fine. We're still in the middle between that.

[A]

Yeah, we're still definitely in the middle.

[C]

Definitely in the middle.

[A]

And I will say one of the great courtesies Lauren provides is being a, you know, an octogenarian who still party super hard. He just shows you that that's the future.

[D]

It's very impressive.

[A]

Yeah, it's the best holds claw is.

[D]

There to the end.

[E]

Keg stands. Yeah.

[D]

Hold my fucking legs.

[A]

Oh, fuck, I can't feel my legs. Oh, get me down. I also. I'm gonna just admit it. And she was very cool about it. I had no idea Charli Xax was gonna be in the show.

[B]

Right.

[A]

She was in the Role Model Song. She was selling the Role Model Song. And I was standing by the page desk and she walked in with somebody and she had her head like a headscarf and glasses. She looked like Jackie Onassis. And I was like, hey, how you doing? And she's like, I totally did not know it was her. And she's like, yeah, hi, I've been on your show. And I'm like, oh, fuck. I'm like, hey, I apologize for it later. And she told me.

[D]

You're like, I'm so sorry. I thought you were Jackie O.

[A]

It was great. Anyway. I really did. I mean, again, and I should say, like, the best part about being back was like, you know, to be there with Poehler and to watch Poehler do her thing was just fucking fantastic.

[D]

Yeah, she was great. It's so fun to watch her do it. Anytime we get to see her on camera being funny, it's a fucking treat.

[A]

And then Maya sent us a picture. Cause Paul took a picture of the Anne golden eras who were there. And it's really awesome. Cause Paul took just a. Like a bad picture.

[E]

I love that. I always love that pot.

[C]

Probably best director at the Oscars this year doesn't know how to use his iPhone, I guess.

[A]

I mean, it's. I. I know it looks blurry on the zoom, but it's actually that blurry.

[E]

Oh, that's great. That's really bad. Yeah, that's awesome.

[A]

All right, we've got some other stuff to talk about. I mean, we've gone. This is pretty. Pretty meaty.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

This is a beefy app.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm just going to run through some stuff real quick from our listeners. Joran people asked, has the hip injury put off your vasectomy or did the vasectomy actually happen before you fell in?

[E]

Great. That's a great question. It has positive vasectomy. I will definitely invite Seth. Basically, I'm gonna do it around his schedule. So I think that as long as he can pick me up.

[A]

Thank you, bud. Thank you for keeping me in mind. No problem. A lot of people, more than one, said, Alex Bayes sounds like Adam Scott.

[E]

Oh, that's a good call.

[D]

I could see that.

[A]

And in case anybody's asking, Baze has definitely given off any vibe.

[C]

Giving up? What kind of vibes?

[A]

Any vibes. It's a severance. Yeah, he's a real. He's a real. Any.

[C]

Oh, innie vibes. Oh, any.

[E]

I think he said any vibes. Like you were saying that he didn't actually have any vibe at all.

[A]

Oh, no.

[C]

Yeah. He wasn't just Adam Scott. He's Adam Scott. Innie.

[A]

He's an innie Adam Scott. And he like, basically he comes off an elevator and he writes jokes all.

[C]

Day in a cold, windowless office. I guess that's what a 30 year.

[E]

Rock will do to you. Yeah.

[A]

Jim Downey, a former SNL head writer thriving both in one battle after another. And also Tim.

[C]

He's got so many funny.

[A]

Those scenes he's in best lines in the movie. He's also in Tim Robinson and Zach Cannon's Incredible Chair Company, which is airing now on hbo. So it's a real Downey blowing bubbles. It's the moment. The moment that happened for Paul Lapel is now happening for Jim Downey.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

And he's got a documentary about him coming out.

[A]

It's a big time to be Jim Downey.

[E]

What's the name of the documentary? I bet it has a great title.

[D]

Downey wrote that or Downey wrote it. Yeah, yeah.

[E]

Oh, Downey wrote that.

[A]

More than one person said that. Kreitzel, based on his voice note, understands what this pot is supposed to be better than any of us.

[F]

Huh?

[A]

He actually had, like, a lot of, like, information and, like, recap.

[C]

Today's voice note. We'll put the kibosh on that.

[A]

Maybe disabuse people.

[C]

And I also want to say that voice note was heavily edited last week. It was a 10.

[A]

Oh, yeah, that's true.

[C]

It was a 10 minute voice note that got edited down to a crisp.

[A]

For my favorite thing of Kreitzel's voice note, because we had not heard it last week, we reacted to it, but I heard it only in the episode.

[E]

This is how the sausage is made, guys. Go ahead, Seth.

[D]

Nice you are.

[A]

When Kreitzel says that Higgins said to him, your life begins now. And Crystal goes. And I was like, oh, all right. Save yourself for me. And booty call. Someone said they really enjoyed your full Muppet energy on Save Yourself for Me, girl.

[D]

Take. Take it. Save yourself for me.

[A]

I said, do all your characters have dinky wangs? And a listener pointed out that you played the French pole vaulter on Late Night.

[D]

Quite the opposite.

[A]

Yeah. The full opposite.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

We were talking about Ukulele songs and that there's only the one, you know. And somebody said, what about George Firmby's when I'm cleaning windows?

[E]

Now I gotta look that up.

[A]

You gotta look it up. But I'm gonna warn you because we're as worried based on the title yhorm. There are of course multiple references to ladders in George Fernby's when I'm doing it.

[C]

Oh shit.

[A]

So maybe don't.

[E]

All right, I'll wait another five weeks.

[A]

To like hashtag trigger warning for you. Oh, this was my favorite comment of the week on my run this morning. I saw a dude rocking a quado costume. I was excited and about to shout Quaid Army. Then I realized it was just some dad carrying an infant and a front facing baby carrier. This podcast has ruined.

[E]

Yeah, that's how you see the world. That's great.

[C]

Yeah, probably a little bald baby. It's very similar.

[A]

All right. Oh, well, there's two things we have to watch real quick.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I wrote down. So I'm gonna share a screen because there are two moments in the show that I thought were worthwhile and I wrote down timecode to try to save this first. It's just a real, real special run in ESPN Classic. First time competing in the States. They call her the Wolf Bear.

[B]

Uh huh.

[A]

Now Greg, tell me, how do you think she got that nickname? Oh, somebody who knew her probably called her that at some point.

[B]

Then another person heard it and said.

[A]

Hey, I like that.

[B]

It just kind of stuck.

[A]

Well now Greg and I, I know the process of acquiring a nickname, but I'm asking about how the Wolf Bear.

[D]

Is specific to her.

[A]

Oh, I don't know. Probably.

[D]

I don't know.

[A]

Well, wherever she got it from, it's quick shout out to our sponsor this evening, Summer's Eve feminine hygiene products. When something's gone wrong and it's the smell of your thong.

[C]

Summer's Eve douche.

[A]

Now Greg, can you tell the viewers at home a little bit about the equipment they'll be using tonight? Well, it's just basically a bottle with.

[B]

A thin curved nozzle.

[A]

I don't know if they're going to.

[B]

Be using it to tonight. Is it something you use Heavy?

[A]

No, no, no, no.

[H]

I'm sorry about that.

[A]

That's my fault. It's my fault, pal. I wasn't talking about the fine equipment that the good people at Summer's Eve make. I meant what kind of darts are the ladies using tonight? Oh boy. I wouldn't put darts anywhere near vagina.

[H]

No.

[B]

Great.

[A]

Sorry.

[H]

About that.

[A]

I was talking about.

[E]

You know what?

[H]

Why don't we just go down?

[A]

I mean, that's a.

[C]

He's so nice. He keeps apologizing. Yeah, yeah, it's. It's Jason's apologies. Oh, I'm.

[E]

I'm sorry I led you astray.

[A]

It is. It is pristine. Andy, you came back on. I did not remember. You came back on as Larry the Goose a year after the miracle on the Hudson.

[D]

We rocked a second, Larry.

[A]

Yeah. And you came out with a notebook to read the names of the victims, the geese who had died. Do you have any memory of what this game is about to be?

[D]

0.

[A]

I also had 0. It will, of course, make perfect sense that you came up with it, I believe with Mike o' Brien and Simon Rich. Yeah, that's less poetic.

[D]

It sounds better in Goose.

[A]

Now, Seth, if I may, I'd like.

[D]

To read the names of some of the geese who perished that day.

[A]

You're wearing Chuck Schumer cheese.

[C]

These were geese of great dignity.

[A]

Okay. Yeah, we'd like that.

[D]

Goose.

[A]

Springsteen. Now. Featherlock Lear. That's not a name.

[C]

Ganderson Cooper.

[D]

Geese Witherspoon.

[A]

No, I don't believe it.

[D]

President Quackery Taylor.

[A]

President of What?

[C]

Honk Williams Jr. Indie rock duo the Wing Wings. Topical.

[D]

And of course, Mother.

[A]

I'm sorry, Mother Goose.

[C]

Her name was Gail. Is this all a joke to you, Seth?

[A]

Yeah, I mean, a little bit.

[D]

A little bit. Yeah.

[A]

Fun game.

[D]

Sure, sure, sure. We don't hate it.

[A]

No, we don't hate it. Also, the last thing I'll say, because Kevin Miller put it in the chat because we talked so much about the ill conceived weird el parody album. The names on it were Jost Kenward and Bernie Taupin. They put his name on it.

[C]

I guess that's fair on some level.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Although, you know, it's not really, because they like the one that didn't survive were his lyrics.

[C]

Right. And the melodies were Elton's. Right. So it should have said John, I guess.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

So that also probably, like, just another reason for Elton John to be, like, completely confused.

[D]

It's like the time when I did Meet the Brasses Beetlejuice and Alec Baldwin was the host, and we didn't address.

[C]

That he was in Beetlejuice.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Are we 100% sure that Bernie wasn't at the show that week and didn't come hang with them in the room?

[A]

One hundo. Okay.

[D]

And we're 100% sure that Sigourney was an actor avatar?

[A]

Oh, yeah, we are now.

[E]

We Are now weigh in on the coming.

[D]

Hit us in the titis. Was Sigourney in there?

[E]

Let us know if she was or she wasn't.

[C]

Listen, when me and Andy and a few others including Joanna got in the bath together and watched watched way of water together and just soaked. Just soaked in that, it was amazing. We went to a special theater that is the one that James would go to check the DCPS to make sure it played right.

[E]

And how'd you get in Keev? How'd you get into that?

[C]

We made some calls and a place that does color correction made some calls for us because I knew it had to be a place that plays at 48 frames per second to make it all look weird. And we were in there. We learned the ways.

[B]

Wait.

[E]

Okay. Since people want to know how things are made here, according to the Kreisler big ups, why was it 48 frames? What was the advantage of doing that?

[C]

I mean, in general, 48 frames takes away all movie magic. And I would say it's the opposite of what you'd want when you're shooting a movie.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Because it makes everything crystal clear. Because if you're playing back at 48, there's no motion blur.

[E]

What's the normal amount of frame rates for 20?

[C]

24 per second?

[E]

24.

[A]

Very cool.

[C]

And that's part of what makes movie magic, is your eye kind of processes it.

[A]

Quick, quick. Rest in peace. For Andy, who just died.

[E]

Hold on and keep going.

[C]

Keep going.

[A]

Keep your doing well.

[C]

And so part of his experimenting with Avatar was the new one was at least to make it a 48 so everything looks clearer than you're ever used to seeing anything ever. And I would say on your home tv, that just makes it look even more like a video game. But if you see it correctly in the correct theater with Dolby Vision 2. So it's crazy bright screen Dolby vision. So with the glasses, the 3D glasses.

[E]

Don'T look at Andy's face while you're talking. Go ahead.

[D]

No, I like this stuff. I just have nothing to add.

[E]

Okay, great.

[C]

Yeah. And then it looks like nothing you've ever seen before. And that's the thing that makes it worth seeing the movie because it's like, whoa, this is different.

[A]

Different.

[D]

It's like going on an immersive theme park ride or something where you're like in the world.

[C]

There's like 20 minutes with no dialogue where they're just underwater swimming around. And it's like a nature documentary.

[E]

It was one of my favorite parts, but I was super high. So.

[C]

Okay, that's fine. He says it's fine to watch high.

[A]

I had a. I either could go see one battle after another, which I loved. At 10:20 or 11:30 on VistaVision. Is that what it's called? Yeah, yeah. And it was the same thing. It was just that situation where I was like, if I do 11:30, I'm gonna be cutting it close.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

And I just didn't want the stress of that. And I felt like, you know what? It'll be fine. But the thing I was mad about is I wanted to walk out and then peek my head into that Was your screening.

[C]

I did see it in VistaVision. Was your screening in IMAX or anything? Or just screening it just totally normal? The real difference, besides that it'll look different, is that the aspect ratio is a bit little different. That's the part because I think it'd be fine to see it on a IMAX screen because the IMAX aspect ratio is the same as the VistaVision ratio. So at least then you're still. You're seeing a little more of the top and the bottom, and especially with the no spoilers, but like the chase at the end and the way those hills are photographed, it's more dynamic seeing it higher and lower on the screen.

[D]

So Yoram of Keev and Seth, who's a cinephile.

[B]

Keev Moore.

[E]

But he also watches a bunch of crappy movies too. He throws those in there.

[C]

I do.

[A]

I saw the Shape of Water. Does that make me.

[C]

Oh, the fish. The fish movie Fish. Yeah.

[D]

I mean, it won Best Picture.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That's pretty rare.

[E]

Wait, wait, wait. Keev, if I saw it in 70 mil one battle, does that mean I saw it in VistaVision? What is the.

[C]

No, no. 70 mil. But did you see IMAX 70 mil or just 70 mil regular?

[E]

70 mil.

[C]

So that aspect ratio is even more smush. So you saw even less of the frame potentially.

[E]

And I sort of wish I didn't because I could sort of tell. Some's a little off here.

[C]

Agreed. We could get it. We can get a voice note from Paul. And this also let me do a public service announcement on behalf of at least the VistaVision screening in New York and LA and London, which is. There will not be any trailers. They can't play trailers because the whole projection booth has been rigged.

[A]

Oh, you know what?

[E]

I'm gonna shoot everything in VistaVision 2 from now on.

[C]

Yeah, but it is hard.

[A]

People miss the first Man, I would have loved that. Cause I could not believe what you're dealing with in trailers now.

[C]

But also people are coming in late and missing. Cause they've been trained to miss the first 15 minutes to be like oh, there's no point in showing up. But they can't play anything else because it's such a rig. And we can, you know, leave this in for the. Anyone can just leave now if they want. Well Andy, did you.

[A]

Quibby, wait, no, wait. Before we ask him, I have a question. Was Shape of Water sort of a forefather to Sushi Glory Hole?

[C]

Oh. Cause combining just fish and sexual feelings.

[A]

Yeah, well, I mean there's a bit of, you know.

[C]

I have a deeper question which is. Was like a boss the inspiration for Shape of Water?

[A]

Shape of Water Water. Cuz Andy a fish in that. Great questions, great questions for the cinephiles.

[E]

Weigh in on the comments.

[D]

I think that is more likely than that we were inspired by Shape of Water for sushi.

[A]

But I mean I feel like. Would you. What is it tmc? Like one of those, like if they ever did like a night of like fish sex stuff.

[D]

Oh, I see.

[A]

They would all fit.

[C]

Oh tcm, tcm. They would definitely all fit. Mankowitz would give a great intro for that. Go ahead.

[A]

Before we find out about whether Andy quibble. Here's our new intro song for that.

[C]

Spelling be. Spelling be.

[E]

Slow burn of a song.

[A]

The floor is yours.

[D]

I'm not done yet. I'm three short.

[A]

Great, great.

[C]

That was perfect.

[E]

This is great.

[C]

That's the problem with such an ear. With a morning. With a morning pod.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Morning pod. Yeah. Also I had a sense he wasn't done yet. Cause he's been doing it this whole pod.

[D]

Yeah, the whole time. I mean there's 66 words today and it's fucking. Yeah, I've gotten. I've gotten the pangram.

[E]

The moment Andy heard 48 frames, he was like, I'm out.

[A]

Yeah, I'm. I'm 13 away. Which is about right compared to our skill level.

[D]

I had two days ago. I was clean, Seth. Yesterday I had one hint.

[A]

What was your hint? Yesterday?

[D]

Fucking nicotine. Frustrating.

[A]

Yesterday I met. You know, I got continent, I got incontinent, I missed continents.

[D]

Yeah. What about incontinence?

[A]

We really got that. You know, sometimes there's just too many words.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Are you ready for a 30 second boring VistaVision thing and then we say goodbye? Or did you have something else real? Because people could just leave if they don't want to know. Now yorm VistaVision. And this is me paraphrasing the truth. But was a. It's a dead format from the 50s and 60s and maybe even earlier. I don't know of film. And it. It even is like the. It goes through the camera, even horizontally. It's like, really outdated and different, but it has a specific look.

[E]

And that's how they filmed it.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Yes, the movie was. So even if you're watching a dcp, you're watching a scan of VistaVision film, but it looks pretty extreme.

[E]

Explain dcp. What is a dcp?

[C]

I think we've already done that one at one point.

[D]

Seth. I bailed.

[A]

Really?

[D]

Yep.

[A]

All right.

[C]

You bailed on Spelling Bee?

[D]

Yep.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

You do that sometime?

[D]

Sometimes. I decided to bail.

[E]

Historic, guys.

[C]

Okay, the last movie to be shot on VistaVision was 1961, and it was a movie called One Eyed Jacks. Ooh. And then the Brutalist had some stuff on VistaVision. Then one battle after another. Bonia, the new one was shot 95% on. On VistaVision. North by Northwest was shot on it.

[E]

Oh, just watch that. That made the list of AFI's top 100 guys.

[C]

There you go.

[E]

And I gotta say, that didn't hold up.

[C]

Oh, damn. Your drugs are making you a harsh critic.

[A]

Yeah, I'm throwing shade. Crazy shade.

[E]

I'm throwing.

[A]

Hey, wait, can I.

[E]

Can I say something like, Andy, after you see one Battle after another, it is so dense and fucking awesome. Like, I think we should do an entire episode on it with Paul, if that's possible. I don't know if he ever would do a podcast. He probably hates it the way Andy does.

[C]

I bet you he'd do it.

[D]

I mean, I bet you he's actually doing press for it.

[E]

No, no, no, no, no. This is different. This is. This is not press. This is.

[C]

No, we're gonna be shitting on it, though. This is. This is. What's the opposite of press?

[E]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A mess.

[D]

Okay, so when you were shooting the scene, how horny was.

[C]

You make it hornier, Seth. Have you? Because you got dressed in the Roxbury outfit, which was one step closer to a suit and tie. Much closer. Did you feel like part of me seeing you in that and how casual everything has gotten made me think maybe it's time to go back to the suit. Because also seeing you at the end.

[E]

I fully agree with what Keith's saying.

[C]

First off, let me just voice my support in the past for how you went casual, because we had never seen somebody be casual in a network thing, like, where it's the full set and everything, and the pandemic and it was all the things. And it was this nice kind of transition back for all of us to the real world in real life. And then there was something about seeing you in a suit on the update desk this week and halfway to a suit with no tie, where I went maybe now with all the noise and all the podcasts that look almost like talk shows at this point, there's almost no difference. Different. And all the things. And I was like, maybe the suit comes back because it's like, this is.

[E]

Are you talking about IRL or are you talking about only on camera?

[C]

I'm just talking about on Late Night with Seth Meyers when he's up there behind his desk. I don't think you're. I don't think the standing monologue or anything needs to come. Obviously, that was. And those didn't go away at the same time. That was before it. I don't know. I just seen you in the thing.

[A]

It's interesting. I. I will say, like, it's a. It's something. Something I've considered. But of course, the problem is, like, every other late night host does a suit. You know what I mean? So it's like going back to the norm of my genre.

[E]

See, Keith, I thought you were talking about in real life. And I. Because I've had to wear sweatpants for the last seven weeks, I don't have to, I guess, but I do. I'm more like, let's put on suits.

[C]

Yeah. You have a hankering for it, too. Well, we're all getting to an age where I'm trying to figure out what I'm supposed to dress like. You know, that's a thing for another pot, I guess.

[A]

Yeah. I think. You know what? Maybe when we have PTA on, we just talk about that exclusive.

[E]

Oh, that's good.

[B]

Good.

[E]

So then he doesn't feel like it's.

[D]

Press, like, okay, so the movie.

[C]

I'll let him know he's booked.

[E]

What do you think? Wes Anderson does it.

[D]

What do you think?

[A]

She made the movie.

[D]

How should we dress?

[A]

Yeah, you know, if I'm having one battle after another, it's in my closet.

[C]

It's in the morning.

[D]

It's an internal battle. More of, you know, who am I and what am I trying to represent when I walk out the door?

[A]

This is a real beefy pod.

[C]

The Quades always say, leave it. Leave it, Shaggy.

[A]

Leave it, Shaggy. Quaid's were really. The Quades were outraged that we edited out my story.

[C]

Oh, yeah. But that was because that's for privacy. Reasons not for shag.

[D]

Yeah. But I will note, we didn't have to leave in a single.

[C]

No, it was good. I listened to it back. I liked it.

[A]

It was good. It was totally fine.

[C]

Me and Andy went to breakfast this week, which is the first time that's happened in a very, very, very maybe ever long time, where we just went and we went to a restaurant. Right when we were about to walk in past the, like, you know, into the patio area, a gentleman went by and didn't even make eye contact. Just gave such a subtle. Yeah, Quade army just on a pass by, like a drive by a. I was like, yep. And then I was like, oh, fuck, I gotta say. So he was already, like 10 steps away by the time I went. Righteous go. And then Andy was like, oh, good, good. Like, almost.

[D]

He was the James Dean of Quaid armying.

[C]

Yeah. Love this guy.

[E]

He probably just listened that Ice Cube song that was, like, about how you approach someone, you know what I mean? And then was like, I gotta make this real subtle.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Give him a pound or whatever that is.

[D]

Shake my hand and make it a firm shake.

[C]

Exactly. Say, what up, Ice Cube?

[A]

And then break.

[C]

Yeah, there you go.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

I do think. And I want to continue hammering it, like, for us, the most wonderful Quaid army to receive is like, no one breaks stride.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Yes. A pass by.

[A]

And I just. I got one the other day. I was with Alexi, and someone. A dude walked by and he said it not even, like, it brought him joy. He said it was like. Like military obligatory. You know what I mean? Like, he saw a superior. Oh, fuck.

[D]

That's my shit.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Part of the army.

[A]

Great army, sir.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Righteous kill, soldier. On your way.

[E]

Part of the Army.

[C]

Yeah, a little, sir. It's just like a s. The Quaid's Rock. Quaid army rocks.

[F]

Damn.

[D]

The Quaid's Rock, man.

[C]

You think the little monsters do that for.

[A]

For Gaga?

[C]

No.

[A]

There is a member of Quaid army on tilt right now, and it's Jake Tapper, who Can't believe we keep giving him notes on his drawing.

[E]

Did he.

[D]

Did he do it again?

[C]

We were giving him props last time. I thought we gave it up.

[A]

Dude, when you come back, if you watch the lead with Jake Tapper, every time it comes back to him, he's scribbling, just working on, like.

[C]

He's just working on.

[A]

It's like trying to. Trying to decube Sandberg's face.

[E]

Here's the thing. As the sincere one, as my character has become over the course of this thing. I was the one who was really giving it up every single time. As the sincere Alvin of the group.

[C]

Yeah, I'm more of the nerdy Alvin.

[A]

Yeah. Oh, now, so you guys are three different Alvins now? Jesus Christ.

[E]

Yeah, we're just different aspects.

[D]

I mean, at this point, I think I'm just a Simon.

[C]

Yeah, this guy's just doing his word games. What a Simon. Fucking dork.

[D]

Yeah. I mean, according to Bill, I'm the mastermind behind at everything, so.

[E]

What a sincere guy.

[A]

This is the fattest tail we've ever had on.

[C]

All right? If we want to get even just.

[D]

A little shaggier, sir, Mix A Lot would approve. Seth.

[C]

I like shaggy tails. I cannot lie.

[E]

Let's never stop doing this.

[A]

Hey, Mix A Lot. Love the beat. Love everything about it. Is there anything other than the shaggy tail?

[C]

Who? Oh, I don't know.

[D]

You got any Alts?

[A]

Mix A Lot.

[C]

Look at her tail.

[A]

And he's like, I don't know. That's what I call big butts. And it's like, what about that?

[D]

Also, I don't know why Jerry Lewis is his producer. Hey, you Mix A Lot.

[C]

You got me Alts.

[A]

Oh, Froy and Lady.

[B]

Oy.

[A]

Mix A Lot.

[D]

Nice lady with the shaggy tail.

[A]

Shaggy tail. What are you gonna. How are you gonna. You wanna shag the tail a little bit bit more, Keith?

[C]

Well, no, I have a thing, but I could say it next week. It doesn't really matter.

[A]

No, say it. Come on, look at it.

[C]

No, say it now. I was trying to remember my week during this week. And the. The thing we. The movie we were working on that didn't end up happening, we were rewriting. And I would go. The two writers with it was. Jonah Hill had written it. And he had written with a guy named Matt Spicer, who directed Ingrid Goes west, among other things. Now, and Max Winkler, he just.

[E]

He just actually directed a. A movie with Eric.

[A]

Oh.

[E]

Who I fucking hate.

[C]

Yeah, Beef. Oh, yeah. The one that Trost. Yeah, I talked to them about each other before. Anyways, so I'm in la, and every day I would go to Max Winkler's childhood home. Cause it just had a lot of space for us to write. So we would write in this beautiful house that Max Winkler, whose father is Henry Winkler. And if you've ever seen Henry Winkler on a talk show or in a Sandler movie and gone. What a great, warm, beautiful, caring man that is. It was so wonderful to be being treated as. He was so happy to have us in the house. And we Would get there at 9am and sit in the dining room table and he would come in just how you want him to be with like fresh bagels. And he'd be making them like, who wants one with tomato? And I got to live this like fantasy of being what Max's life was like as a kid every day. Cause we did for like a month. And I just remembered like, oh right, that was the month. Just sitting in his living room having Henry. And then his mom was lovely and just come in and literally make us breakfast every day and be so happy to have. Cause he didn't live there. Max didn't live there. The way that a nice parent is so happy to have the kids back in the house. Oh, you boys are doing your project. Let me get you. It was just, it was, it was a lot of fun.

[E]

Can I ask you a question, Keith?

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Both me and Eddie have been over to your house, I believe. I'm sure Seth has as well. And I don't feel, feel like any of us have been treated like that.

[C]

No.

[A]

That's interesting.

[E]

I mean, just checking. So you've learned.

[C]

But I've also been at all your parents houses and didn't get treated that way either because none of us have Henry.

[E]

Now we're getting down to brass tacks.

[D]

I would say of the three of us though, Keev treats guests the best.

[E]

That's definitely true.

[A]

I did get like. I remember going to Keeves once and getting like a bespoke cocktail that he was making.

[E]

You're right, you're right.

[A]

Something special, like a little jalapeno and a tequila drink sort of thing.

[D]

Yeah, man, that was taking care.

[E]

Yeah. And he does say ay more, right?

[A]

Yeah, ay. He started doing that, which was a little forced, like.

[C]

And I opened your. I opened your locker with a single hit.

[A]

I'm happy to pile a Henry Winkler's great story on a Henry Winkler's great story. We on Thursday do something called $5 Thursday where we have like one of those like bingo things you spin around. And our whole crew, everybody writes their name on a $5 bill and puts it in the spinner and you spin it around and then once a month it's $20. And Henry was there on a Thursday and he wrote his name on a $20 bill and he won and so got like whatever, 400 bucks. And then the next Monday he sent pizza to everybody on the crew.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like just immediately like it wasn't going to like pocket the money.

[C]

Yeah. I'm surprised he let that fester for a week.

[E]

I like that he let it fester.

[C]

Yeah. A week of people cursing him.

[A]

I'm going to say I didn't fester at all. I think everybody was genuinely so happy. Like, by the way, he was, like, the only guest who was ever like, I'll play.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

You know, guys, we're at an hour 41.

[A]

So that's your way of saying, wrong with you, Andy.

[E]

This is a shaggy tale. Andy.

[D]

I would rather hang up and then just keep talking.

[C]

Oh, without the quades. You want to keep the.

[A]

Yeah, we have to come up with a word. The opposite of press. Is it like, wrinkles?

[C]

Like, what is this? Yeah, wrinkles.

[E]

Wrinkles.

[D]

Done.

[C]

You did it.

[A]

Does PTA want to do wrinkles?

[E]

Yeah, we just talk about suits.

[C]

That's what we are. After your press tour. After your press tour, do a wrinkles tour.

[D]

Oh, my God, I love it.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

You know, just for fun, just do some wrinkles. All right, I love you guys.

[E]

Love you.

[A]

Love you guys.

[C]

Love you.

[D]

Later, Arnold.

[C]

Later, Quaid.
