Transcript

[Andy Samberg]

Hi, guys.

[Bill Hader]

Hi. How are you?

[Andy Samberg]

Good. I'm sorry I was late. I feel like my friend from Africa who was over here stole my cord.

[Bill Hader]

Oh, my God. Once again, maybe the most Yorm opener, you know?

[Andy Samberg]

You know how guys from Kenya are. They come over, they fucking take your cords.

[Bill Hader]

Yoram knows people from all over the globe, all of whom he lets stay at his house and are a little bit shady.

[Andy Samberg]

We don't know. We don't know about any of that.

[Bill Hader]

You know what I really liked, Jorm, is that you wrote us to say that you were looking. You had. You said, wait, give me a minute. I'm looking for some chords. But you spelled it C, H, O, R, D, S. Oh, well, to be.

[Andy Samberg]

Fair, the iPhone spelled it that way, but yes.

[Bill Hader]

But it is kind of nice that you're. You're such a musician that your iPhone was like. I think you mean these chords do.

[Andy Samberg]

Found them.

[Bill Hader]

Found them. How is everybody?

[Seth Meyers]

Good. Norman, you said you had a friend in town from Africa. I just assumed it was Chappie.

[Andy Samberg]

No. That guy sucks. Now.

[Jorma Taccone]

The robot Chappie.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, robot Chappie.

[Andy Samberg]

He's so irritating. Now.

[Bill Hader]

Chappie. Jito, Chappie is a huge behind the scenes part of late night. Really?

[Andy Samberg]

What? I'm sorry, what?

[Bill Hader]

So we do a scene called you burnt, and during you burnt, we have a. Like, a. Every now and then, there's like, a robot voice that, like, comes in and it says, like, a robot phrase.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh.

[Bill Hader]

And behind the scenes, we've always called that Chappie because our show came out. Our show started, like, within a month of Chappie being a movie.

[Seth Meyers]

It's not, though, because Chappie is a very distinct South African accent.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, no, it's definitely not. Who here has seen Chappie?

[Jorma Taccone]

All of us.

[Seth Meyers]

All of us. Immediately. We saw it.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, we've all seen it. But how does he. How does he talk, Andy?

[Seth Meyers]

We've talked about Chappie as much as anything that's ever come out. I would say.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, almost like a quado level.

[Bill Hader]

Again, Chappie. There were two things that were happening when our show started that we referenced all the time, and it turned out nobody in our audience knew about him or cared. It was Chappie and. And then there was that, like, weird Johnny Depp movie with, like, Gwyneth Paltrow where he was like. I don't know what, he was like a detective or something. I'm gonna have to look it up now.

[Seth Meyers]

Are you talking about the tourist?

[Bill Hader]

No, that's Angelina Jolie. That's what I said it had like a weird little name like Chappie that it was like kind of fun to say.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yes, it's like Montgomery or something. But it's not that.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, you're talking about the comedy, the one with the mustache.

[Seth Meyers]

Mordecai.

[Andy Samberg]

Mordecai.

[Seth Meyers]

Is it Mordecai?

[Bill Hader]

Mordecai. Was it Mordecai?

[Seth Meyers]

Yes.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, I think the tagline had something to do with the mustache. That's why I said that.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. And so we like, we thought it was so funny and we just kept making Mordecai jokes. And like again, when a movie doesn't do well and so Chappie Mordecai jokes, apologize to anybody watching Late night in the 14 to 15 era.

[Seth Meyers]

Suffice it to say, if there was ever a Chappie Mordecai team up movie, we would be first in line.

[Jorma Taccone]

To refresh your memory, Diane, word is in it. And they find a robot. It's basically short circuit. It's like a military trained robot that goes off the reservation somehow. And instead of finding Steve Guttenberg and is it Ali Sheedy?

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

Instead of finding them, it finds Ninja and Yolani Fezzer. Yeah, exactly. And then they teach it how to be kind of cool. Like artists, like urban artists, I would say.

[Seth Meyers]

Pretty sure they teach Chappie how to be gangsta.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, but wait, wait, how does he talk, though? How does Chappie talk?

[Jorma Taccone]

Well, Chappie at first, I think, again, this is my memory. He talks closer to Johnny Number five, a little bit. Sweet. He goes Butterfly. And they're like, don't say Butterf. I say Butterfly. Something like that, right?

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

I feel like Chappie has the same accent, though. I feel like it's. I feel like Chad, the voice of Chappie, is the guy who's the lead in District 9.

[Bill Hader]

I think you're right. And I do think in the trailer he says, I am Chappie.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, Shipley, Shipley, Stingley.

[Seth Meyers]

Byron Stingley.

[Andy Samberg]

He says, like, I am Chippy.

[Jorma Taccone]

That's a little. Yeah, he's from New Zealand.

[Bill Hader]

Sometimes people will say, you know, I wish you talked about something other than Donald Trump on your late night show. And I do want people to know that before he showed up, it was a lot of Chappy stuff. So, you know, pick your poison.

[Jorma Taccone]

I love Chappie. It's got Hugh Jackman with a dope haircut.

[Bill Hader]

Oh, oh, yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

But he's got like a urban mullet.

[Bill Hader]

Jackman's a bad guy, right?

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, he Works for the company that makes the robots. I believe. Again, I can't believe that it's even foggy for me and I didn't refresh myself with a new viewing.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, don't get it twisted out there. Chappie rips.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, we're into Chappie. I don't want to seem like this is negative. I can't speak for the writing staff at late night. It's the Lonely Island.

[Andy Samberg]

Seth Myers podcast. Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

Hey, we gotta do some cleanup work. Oh, by the way, I hope you'll give me permission. And obviously, we could just cut it right out, but I heard a very funny story about your 15th wedding anniversary. Keef.

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay, go ahead.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, put him on blast.

[Bill Hader]

Confirm or deny. Your wife, Liz told us that she got a balloon that said 1:5 to celebrate 15 years. I was there.

[Seth Meyers]

It's true.

[Bill Hader]

Tell us what you said when you saw the 15 balloons.

[Jorma Taccone]

Well, it was out. It was outside in the back porch. So I'm looking through, like, windows towards the back porch, and I see it kind of glistening in the sun. And all it read to me was, is. And I thought I was seeing part of, like, a, you know, something is wonderful. Like, you know, like half of a sentence, the middle of a sentence.

[Bill Hader]

Right.

[Jorma Taccone]

And so I was like, is what is? And she was like, I was there.

[Seth Meyers]

She's like, it's 15. It's today.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, that's great.

[Bill Hader]

It is. Liz said it's, like, literally the greatest, like, lesson of marriage. Is it on your 15th wedding anniversary, your husband's like, what's is?

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, it is what it is, is what she kept saying, and she did embrace it. She was like, 15 years. It is what it is.

[Andy Samberg]

I thought. I thought it was a celebration of the Hawaiian folk singer is, you know.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, yeah. Is that who sings Somewhere over the Rainbow?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. What we were all thinking.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

It could have been, like, the middle.

[Seth Meyers]

Of, like, marriage is wonderful.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. Keith was immediately just concerned the other the bigger balloons had blown away, and he wanted to alert his bride.

[Jorma Taccone]

Exactly.

[Andy Samberg]

And go back to the store.

[Bill Hader]

All right.

[Seth Meyers]

Can I say something, since we're doing cleanup stuff from past casts?

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

A friend of mine who listens to this cast texted me, and this made me laugh very hard, which was when I was bringing up khakis with a cuff and a crease. He texted me, I guess Kevin Yorm did forget about Dre.

[Bill Hader]

Which we've always.

[Seth Meyers]

Joked about, how no one forgot about Dre. Why did he write that song, like, we all remember you, Dre? And he was like, no, it turns out they actually did forget about Dre.

[Andy Samberg]

To me, he's always been Andre, so that's the only thing, right?

[Seth Meyers]

Exactly. He's Andre to you.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

You guys. You guys decide if. If this one's worth leaving in. A few years ago, I remember going on a run down the west side highway, you know, as I'm walk, and just so much going on. Like, so many news vans, police cars, and I'm like, oh, my God, what's going on? And then I realized it was September 11th, and it was the anniversary of September 11th, and I had a real. Like they said, never forget.

[Jorma Taccone]

That was the one thing.

[Bill Hader]

The one thing they told us to do is never forget. And you're like, what's going on?

[Seth Meyers]

What's this all about?

[Jorma Taccone]

Speaking of Liz for one second, because I did look at some comments, and people were very nice about her voice note.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, A lot of. Get more Liz on the pod.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. And then somebody plugged a podcast she did, and I was like, oh, I should have done that for her. So she did podcasts with Amy Poehler, like, a year ago, I guess. And There were, like, three parts to it. One was Poehler did 10 episodes. They were, like, improvised. They were like Curb youb Enthusiasm where they had an outline but were improvised. They did a first season where it was Poehler as like a therapist, like a couples counselor therapist.

[Bill Hader]

And with a bunch of say more with Dr. Sheila.

[Jorma Taccone]

Exactly. And then there was a second round, which was Ike Barinholtz as kind of a shock jockey, kind of Joe Rogan esque person, a Rogan guy. And then the third one is the.

[Seth Meyers]

One I'm really like, yesterday. That's just an aside. I saw him name drop.

[Andy Samberg]

Does your foot hurt?

[Jorma Taccone]

He was a fan of the pod.

[Bill Hader]

We still haven't gotten our answer.

[Seth Meyers]

No, he's. He confirmed he does not listen to the pod.

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay, great. That's what I said.

[Seth Meyers]

Loudly, I might add.

[Bill Hader]

Well, he's only loudly.

[Seth Meyers]

He's a Hauser One. Speed One. Great.

[Jorma Taccone]

Speed One. Hauser. Okay. And then the third one is the actual one I most wanted to do because it's the one that she's on. So it's her and Emily Spivey, who's another SNL writer who has done a voice note for the show, and it's called Women and Talking About Murder. I believe in my.

[Bill Hader]

That's right.

[Jorma Taccone]

Listen to every episode. I'm a fan, and it's like a murder podcast. It's super funny, but it's all improvised, and it's really funny. It's got tons of good guests and go check it out.

[Bill Hader]

It's the first episode game, but they're like two women who talk about murders. And it's very clear that Liz is with a pretty shady guy.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. Well, it's all under the pretense of that. Emily is going back through looking for clues because clearly Liz has gone missing. Yes.

[Bill Hader]

People were also mad that we missed this. I talked about the Swedish entry in Eurovision. The name of the band was K A J, which a bunch of people were like, so Kee Vandy Bjorm.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God.

[Jorma Taccone]

Wow.

[Andy Samberg]

My Lord.

[Bill Hader]

Kind of nuts. We missed that. Also, a lot of people want to clarify. They do live in Finland, but they were the Swedish entry for Eurovision. Finland's entry was called Ik Coma, which is what you're guessing it is. So basically the Finnish entry is a Finnish version of Jizz In My Pants. Oh. So all Yoram has to do is go there to just do a little bit of a movie, gets in the water and now they're just.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm sorry, what? What did I think Ik Coma meant?

[Bill Hader]

I come.

[Andy Samberg]

I thought it was people in a coma. I thought they were all three people in a band who were also in a coma.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, my first reaction, Seth, was like, yeah, coma. Ick. You don't want to be in a coma. Yuck.

[Jorma Taccone]

Gross.

[Bill Hader]

You thought that would be a pop song.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. You'd be all trapped in your body.

[Andy Samberg]

No, thank you.

[Bill Hader]

It really does. I. I'm just reading, like, poorly translated lyrics, but it seems like it's not coma based.

[Andy Samberg]

I didn't think that we would talk about Finland as much on this pod, even having been there. Even, like, me being the person that prompted it. I didn't think that we would talk about Finland this much on the podcast.

[Bill Hader]

So you're like, basically the guy who got the toothpaste out of the tube.

[Andy Samberg]

And I'm trying to take it back. I'm shoving it back in. No more.

[Jorma Taccone]

Speaking of Finland, we did Greg's Frasier song that you requested, but we didn't have it when you requested it, so we didn't get to respond to it.

[Seth Meyers]

It's pretty special, amazing.

[Jorma Taccone]

And so thank you, gre.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Thanks, Greg.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's a really good one.

[Andy Samberg]

Love it.

[Jorma Taccone]

I think we should play it again.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, let's just play it again and go, hey.

[Bill Hader]

Hey. It's the Lonely island podcast and sometimes Seth Meyers hangs out too.

[Seth Meyers]

He's busy.

[Andy Samberg]

And there's that one guy who's always.

[Bill Hader]

Late Sometimes don't show up at all.

[Andy Samberg]

I think you know who.

[Seth Meyers]

Finland.

[Andy Samberg]

But it's all good, sir.

[Seth Meyers]

It don't matter as long as they got you.

[Andy Samberg]

Them boys got a whole army of queen. So funny.

[Bill Hader]

So good. And I feel like this is a. Maybe an unfair thing when someone shows an aptitude for something that you just keep pushing them. But it's kind of what Lauren did with you guys in the digital shorts, right?

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

Like, the better they were, the more he said, I need more.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, Grind, Greg. It's fine.

[Bill Hader]

So with that, I feel like Greg maybe could do one that's, like, inspired by the Alvin and the Chipmunks theme song.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, that's good.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. And maybe you could use this at the end of it, Andy.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, it kind of blew out when you said that.

[Jorma Taccone]

No, no, just. That's just zoom. They'll have it.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, good. Okay, but do it again, though. Do it again, though.

[Bill Hader]

I was like, andy. Another person said, hey, I can't believe you guys were talking about both Jack Quaid and Goose and failed to make the connection that Jack Quaid's real life mom, Meg Ryan, was Goose's mom.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God. Yes.

[Bill Hader]

Wow.

[Jorma Taccone]

Wow.

[Bill Hader]

Everything. Everything comes back to geese, man. Wild.

[Andy Samberg]

Everything connects on this pod. It really makes sense, but not in, like, a helpful way.

[Seth Meyers]

Like, do you think that maybe our. You know how, like, each individual person has a spirit animal? Like our group or band spirit animal.

[Andy Samberg]

Is a goose 100 most deaf.

[Seth Meyers]

You want to take a. You want to take off your shirt?

[Andy Samberg]

I just got this shirt, so I don't want to take it off. I'm trying to flaunt it to you guys. What do you guys think?

[Bill Hader]

Oh, it's nice.

[Andy Samberg]

Two elephants. Yeah, thanks.

[Bill Hader]

What is. I don't give a honk from our third album, Brains. Okay. No. Somebody in a Q and A or somebody. Sorry, not in a Q and A. Someone just emailed in a question about I don't give a honk. So that's another. That's another undropped Goose reference we haven't mentioned.

[Andy Samberg]

Was it Edgar Wright that sent the question in? Because he likes that song a lot.

[Bill Hader]

I don't know.

[Andy Samberg]

And yes, my foot hurts, Andy. Jesus Christ.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, right.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Because you dropped the name on it.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. Hey, this one. Another connection that I enjoyed. This is from Richard. Hey, Quades, I was just thinking about how great Yorma was as Booth Jonathan and girls sexy. And how he showed full ass for a long time in bed with Marnie.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, yeah?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

And they're basically like, you're Kind of like your generation's Dennis Franz.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

So many. Again, useless connections, but we're making them.

[Jorma Taccone]

There's not that much memorable male, but showing on TV things just in general. And that was a memorable one because it was the full, like, arms and legs out.

[Andy Samberg]

I will say I was asked to go full frontal as well. And I wanted to because I was like, yeah, that's. You don't get to see full frontal as much. And then my wife was like, please don't. Please don't. Like, it really is forever. Like, can you just not just go with the butt man? And, you know, I guess I'm happy.

[Bill Hader]

Because she believes to this day that belongs to her and her only. She's the only one who gets to see.

[Andy Samberg]

You can talk to her about it. But, yeah, we'll get it.

[Seth Meyers]

You're like, but I thought you said it was big. She's like, no, no, I did.

[Andy Samberg]

It's good.

[Seth Meyers]

It's good from my experience, for sure.

[Andy Samberg]

But I'm just so cold in the studios.

[Bill Hader]

Because it's cold in studios and you.

[Andy Samberg]

Don'T want to, you know.

[Bill Hader]

So, Andy, you think Marty was saying this because she didn't want to blow her spot? Like, she.

[Seth Meyers]

You don't want to walk down the street and have people be like, hey, that's that lady that go with that little dick guy.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, you didn't think it was protecting.

[Seth Meyers]

Yes, I've seen Y's penis and it's totally good.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, that's great.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, he has Y.

[Seth Meyers]

We can cut all that. Y.

[Jorma Taccone]

We can cut.

[Andy Samberg]

No, I've seen your penis and it's totally good. It's just, like, really good grammar. Dick grammar.

[Bill Hader]

I just like the idea of, like, Y after it airs and he's getting that feedback standing at, like, the foot of the bed, just tears running down his eyes, being like, so I guess.

[Seth Meyers]

You need to get your eyes checked, all of you.

[Jorma Taccone]

What else is a lie.

[Andy Samberg]

In action?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God. Do you think now in retrospect, are you glad she recommended you not do it?

[Bill Hader]

Yorm?

[Andy Samberg]

No, I feel like more. There should be more dicks on tv.

[Bill Hader]

We can show it on the pod.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

Can we show it on the pod when we go to video?

[Andy Samberg]

Okay. And you guys are looking at it and everyone's impressed.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, it's fine.

[Andy Samberg]

And we're back.

[Jorma Taccone]

Support for the Lonely island and Seth Meyers podcast comes from Airbnb. Yorm.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

You travel a lot. You like staying in houses.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, when I was hanging out with Tommy Hanks in Pittsburgh, I actually stayed in the Airbnb up on a hill. I can't remember the name of the hill, but it was overlooking the city. It was perimo. And it was a very good location. You know what they say about real estate. Keep. They say location, location, location. And this had the location. It was very easy to get to everything. And, yeah, it was clean, and I loved staying there.

[Jorma Taccone]

You know, Seth's story about where he stayed was also a Pittsburgh story. And then we also have been talking a lot about Pittsburgh. It just feels like were kind of Pittsburgh guys.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, go to Pittsburgh, stay near Gooskis. I bet there's an Airbnb right near there.

[Jorma Taccone]

I went to Pittsburgh once, and I stayed in a hotel. And honestly, I would have preferred an Airbnb, because when you have an Airbnb, you have a kitchen, and especially if you got kids, that's really key. And you might even have a washer dryer, and that's pretty key. And it's nice to not just be sharing walls with strangers and to be in your own. Your own space. Yeah, but let me flip it on you, Jorm. Let me flip this on you.

[Andy Samberg]

Ooh. Okay, getting real now.

[Jorma Taccone]

We've been talking about when you are traveling and you're in someone else's house, but what about your house? First, you create a welcoming space for others. You get the joy of sharing a home with travelers, and you get extra income that can allow you to travel more or other life goals. You know, I don't think they're going to micromanage how you spend your money after you get it. You use it how you see fit.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Whatever hobbies you got.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, but Airbnb is great. As both traveler or as a host, you have no idea what your house is worth. Right now. You might be sitting on a little gold mine. Might be able to pay off that mortgage and get yourself a little ice cream on the side. You know what I mean?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Your home could be worth more than you think. Find out how [e-mail] host I just ended your head for you.

[Jorma Taccone]

Thank you.

[Bill Hader]

Again, there's just a lot of. In the comments section, there's a lot of people weaving themes together. But I do appreciate it. Someone said, this is Dan. I was thinking back to when you mentioned Beyonce being reluctant to do the Single lady skit with Andy. Andy, do you think she anticipated that one day you would be known as the true queen bee?

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, wow.

[Bill Hader]

Wow.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Good long walk. And I went there. I went there right with you. No, but I will let you know. And I feel like a little bit like a corporate chill. Cause I'm sure this was their intention. New York Times Games did send me a queen bee hat.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

And I have been rocking it. I've been rocking it quite proudly. So I want to thank them for that good hat.

[Bill Hader]

I mean, it's a good logo. They got a good logo. It's a good hat.

[Seth Meyers]

Fits like a glove.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. And it's kind of your brand.

[Seth Meyers]

Like a head glove.

[Andy Samberg]

A head glove, yeah. Cool.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. I don't know. That's what I look for in a hat.

[Seth Meyers]

Like a glove. Like, fit. No, it's like plastered on in my head and face.

[Andy Samberg]

You could have said it fits like a hat.

[Bill Hader]

Like, is that like, super tight? Immediately sweating.

[Seth Meyers]

It's basically like a gimp mask. Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

Just the top of a gimp mask.

[Andy Samberg]

So that's a bone.

[Seth Meyers]

But everybody knows that. I. I'm aware of the concept of queen bee and that's important to me.

[Bill Hader]

This is from jihad. Back in 2009, Andy hosted the MTV Movie Awards and did a bit where Paul Rust played an editor named Carl Berman. He wins a technical award and proceeds to start humping the award, insulting Andy. It's one of my favorite bits, but I cannot find the video of it anywhere. Suck my golden popcorn dick is still something my friends and I say to each other.

[Jorma Taccone]

Whoa.

[Andy Samberg]

That's right. I remember being impressed with Rust because that's not something that you think is going to come out of Rust's mouth.

[Bill Hader]

Very funny, man.

[Seth Meyers]

Yes, indeed.

[Bill Hader]

Paul Rust.

[Andy Samberg]

Also, by the way, he's on that new Paul Rubens Pee Wee as himself documentary. And it's so, so great. I love that documentary, Shout Out.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't remember it, but I know Paul Rust is like besties with Neil Campbell, who I work with a ton of, including on our show Digman. And I'm guessing he had something to do with writing that.

[Jorma Taccone]

Well, Scott Aukerman was running your writer room, too.

[Seth Meyers]

He was? Yes.

[Bill Hader]

There you go. Somebody just read this, which I was just sort of Taken with Mike asked, is Jack McBrayer real?

[Seth Meyers]

Of course.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Like a real person.

[Bill Hader]

Like a real person. Yeah. I mean, I get it. Like, he looks like a creation of fiction because he's so wonderful.

[Andy Samberg]

Can I say something about Jack McBrayer? I do worry that if he spends more time in the sun, that. But eventually he won't be real. He'll just, like, disintegrate into, like.

[Bill Hader]

He does love the sun and he does not care about whatever data it is.

[Seth Meyers]

I would say he's realer than real. Deal Holyfield.

[Jorma Taccone]

Whoa.

[Andy Samberg]

All right, well.

[Jorma Taccone]

And now you hookers and hoes know how I feel.

[Seth Meyers]

So you didn't forget about Dre after all.

[Jorma Taccone]

I did not.

[Bill Hader]

Oh, okay, this is good. From Grace. A few weeks ago, a three year old demanded to watch Sonic 3 based solely on the Netflix thumbnail, because he had never been exposed to the franchise before. In the opening scenes, my husband noticed Jorma and yelled, hey, that's yorm. To me because we both listened to the pod. Later that week, I was at McDonald's getting Happy Meal for my toddler. I asked him if he wanted nuggets or a cheeseburger, and he told me he wanted a yellow yorm. I didn't know what that was, so I got him a cheeseburger. When we got home, he opened his toy, a knuckles figure from the movie, and he happily exclaimed, a red yorm.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh.

[Bill Hader]

That's when he realizes he thinks all the hedgehogs are called yorms. Ooh, a red yorm.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, my Lord.

[Jorma Taccone]

Because he knows you're in it, so why wouldn't you be that guy?

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, well, he's like. He heard somebody yell out yhorm. The first time it came on camera.

[Andy Samberg]

That was well worth it to be in that tiny, tiny three line part just for that story. Thanks. Thanks, guys.

[Bill Hader]

Oh, loving the pod, Connor. Hey, Kwes. Loving the pod. But wanted to point out a funny thing about Steve Martin's King Lear joke in Laser Cats. Roboface's final line is good night, sweet princes, which is from Hamlet. I just think it's a funny joke on a joke that he's not even referencing the right play.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, that's great.

[Seth Meyers]

I think we pulled it from Cider House Rules, though I don't think we were even thinking about the Shakespeare element.

[Andy Samberg]

I think he was.

[Bill Hader]

I think he then made the Lear joke knowing that it was in there. Don't you think?

[Andy Samberg]

Yes. Yes. He's smart and we're not. I feel like he made it as a joke and I Didn't know that it was. Wasn't King Lear.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't know.

[Andy Samberg]

Which is embarrassing, growing up in theater. My dad's been in theater for 35 years, guys.

[Jorma Taccone]

But listen, we wrote it in because of Cider House Rules. Steve Martin saw the line and went, ah, King Lear. And that's what led him to his joke.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes, but I think he does know that it's from Hamlet.

[Bill Hader]

I think Steve Martin saw it and said, ah, Hamlet. I'll say it's based on King Lear. He got it right. And then he put a joke on it.

[Jorma Taccone]

But it was about two sons, you know, which is King Lear.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. Hey, somebody pointed out. And I had to double check that this is true. But their name is Toby and they write for the Athletic. And they obviously wanted me to look. Cause they were like, you know. The Athletic is also owned by the New York Times, Home of the beef. He's a writer, wrote an article, the headline, the most intriguing Wagers Around Mets, Yankees, and More this weekend. And late in the article, he writes, it's the same reason that my stack of Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie cards didn't lead to early retirement and instead me toil part time at JA New York Times. And he did say, I cannot tell you how quickly after I posted it, someone in the comments wrote, righteous kill.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God. Jobless, jobless, jobless.

[Jorma Taccone]

We are everywhere.

[Bill Hader]

I mean, a very nice, solid start before we get into the Tracy Morgan Show. And what's the name of the short? Is it Party Guys?

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, Party Guys.

[Bill Hader]

First of all, this is Tracy Morgan's first time back hosting. So there's a lot of fun in the show. But should we just get right into Party Guys? Because this is as Kim's video, as a Kim's video can be.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I think we've wasted enough time.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, let's talk about it at the end. I don't know if it's even Kim's video, but. But maybe you're right.

[Bill Hader]

Well, let me say about it, I remembered the game, Andy. And then I was sort of. There's. I. I counted up. I think there's 19 beats in like 90 minutes, 90 seconds. Sorry. Yeah, so I had a real appreciation for the moves and the fact that you guys never slowed down and it just keeps getting faster.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

And it's, you know, Is it a trifle? Sure. But it is. I think there's another version of the sketch that has eight beats, and I was happy to remember that this one has 19.

[Andy Samberg]

I thought I was gonna go 8 when I rewatched it. It does seem like this is starting to become, like, a little thematic. I don't know how many more of these we did, but business meeting. This one and what's the other one that are like, basically the same game, but it's kind of a thing.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, Seth, it makes sense to me that you would like it though, because isn't trifle your favorite dessert?

[Bill Hader]

Trifle is my favorite dessert, and it's my favorite of all the desserts. It's my favorite one that you can use to mean another thing. Right, Great. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Kiva, for $10,000, can you think of another dessert that also means another thing? Thing.

[Andy Samberg]

Baked Alaska, Cuz when you're high in Alaska.

[Jorma Taccone]

Exactly.

[Seth Meyers]

I thought you were going to mean that's what happens if, like, Alaska catches on fire.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, yeah. Like when there's a forest fire, you.

[Andy Samberg]

You're like, I'm such a stoner. Sorry. I'm such a stone.

[Bill Hader]

Sunday. I think Sunday is the most famous one.

[Seth Meyers]

Sunday would have earned you $10,000, Keith. Unfortunately, the time is up.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's a different spelling.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't want to pay. I don't want to pay the 10 grand, man.

[Bill Hader]

I need the cash. I don't know, man.

[Andy Samberg]

There is no answer.

[Seth Meyers]

Mortgage, man.

[Jorma Taccone]

It was Sunday. Sunday was the answer. Yorm. But it's with an E. Why do.

[Bill Hader]

You want to go right into the short or do you want to talk about Tracy Morgan show a little.

[Andy Samberg]

Can we talk a little bit about the show? Like. Yeah, I'm asking selfishly because I don't remember shooting this short with you turkeys. I mean, my voice is in it, so I was involved, but I don't.

[Seth Meyers]

Think you were there.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, but what the was I doing that week?

[Jorma Taccone]

Let's look through the rundown and see. Well. Well, it's 2009. March. So when do we shoot the Magruder movie? Is that this coming summer?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I may have been editing.

[Jorma Taccone]

So are you location scouting in Albuquerque?

[Andy Samberg]

No, I would never have been allowed out to location scout. No, that didn't happen. But. But I could have been editing if we were.

[Jorma Taccone]

No, no. But didn't we shoot in the summer of 2009 or did we shoot in the summer of 2008?

[Andy Samberg]

2009. So yeah, so I couldn't have been doing that.

[Jorma Taccone]

So prep. So you're writing, you're prepping. Your brain is crazy. But you're right. You would not be let out for that.

[Andy Samberg]

You know how it was. There was no way. We were only allowed out for breaks. I did work during the. Yeah, during the school year.

[Seth Meyers]

I have a suggestion. The back and forth on this schedule thing, I would argue is like, borderline interesting. Could we slow it down?

[Jorma Taccone]

Interesting. Let's get out of calendar.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, let's go slower.

[Seth Meyers]

I just mean like, like physically, like, find a function in pro Tools or something and just like, make it that you guys are talking slower.

[Jorma Taccone]

Take it down to like 70.

[Seth Meyers]

Exactly.

[Bill Hader]

Wait, what do you guys say? Like, like, do you want to slow it down? Two dibbles.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

No, that's levels.

[Jorma Taccone]

That's levels. That's just volume.

[Seth Meyers]

That's crazy what you just said.

[Jorma Taccone]

It. You want to, like, chop and screw it.

[Bill Hader]

Well, I think my favorite thing, Andy, is they never have the date at their fingertips. Like, there's a lot of like, let me find the date. Like, that's the most fun part of this process.

[Jorma Taccone]

So the opening mont, the opening monologue with Tracy Morgan. I remember getting pulled in to shoot a piece for it and they said, hey, you're going to put this guy from wwe.

[Bill Hader]

I remember this too. I'm glad you're saying this.

[Jorma Taccone]

And I was kind of like, didn't have a clue who he was.

[Bill Hader]

Me neither.

[Jorma Taccone]

And he showed up and was very professional and cool and lovely, everything. And we did it. And it was John Cena.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, wow.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, I don't remember it at all.

[Bill Hader]

I remember it was that thing of being told someone's a huge deal in their world and you're. I. I wrote that cold open. And I don't know, kind of how it came to pass, but thinking like, yeah, sure, that sounds nice. And then he was so nice. And it is kind of crazy how I feel like that was right before he tipped into sort of being a giant mainstream star. Couple other things about the cold open before we get back to playing where in the World Was Jorma in March of 2000.

[Seth Meyers]

Worth it.

[Andy Samberg]

Very good how we can afford that.

[Bill Hader]

All right, so the cold open. Very rare, pre taped cold open. Went back and watched it. I was super happy about it. Oh, by the way, it is Seth's corner. Bjorn.

[Andy Samberg]

Seth's Corner. Seth's been talking about what he did that week he did the monologue. Good job, Seth. Okay, take it away. Cold open it rather. Bye.

[Bill Hader]

So it was about just Tracy being back in 30 Rock and making a big speech about it's like the home of comedy. And then it just like sort of smash cuts to the aforementioned Emily Spivey at the front desk saying, like, but you don't have any id and it's just a scene about Tracy finding his way to Studio 8H. And it's a lot of him seeing two security guards and them staring at him and then him staring at them. And by the way, this is. Did you go back and watch it, Keith?

[Jorma Taccone]

What do you ask? The John Cena thing? Yeah, sorry, I'm trying to find it. You can see I'm staring at this other screen. Sorry.

[Bill Hader]

But it's a very nice Keef thing. Whereas, like, you think that they're staring at Tracy and then it cuts to a wide and they're just like, like talking about nonsense. And Tracy runs over and punches them both in the face. And then Tracy gets on an elevator with like an older couple. And then they're like, hey, aren't you Tracy Morgan? And then he punches both of them out, gets off the elevator. Simon Rich is in it, punches him out and then punches at Cena. But it's great direction by our friend Akiva Shaer.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, thank you.

[Seth Meyers]

This is where TV lives and breathes. 12 years ago I came here, puppy.

[Andy Samberg]

I left a man.

[Seth Meyers]

And now I'm back again, wiser still. Yet for all my adventures and all my travels, I've learned something.

[Bill Hader]

This building.

[Seth Meyers]

This building is my home. So you don't have any id. I'm Tracy Morgan. I mean, the most notable thing about that, to me is that it was a non political cold open. Just so fun to let it be silly.

[Bill Hader]

And it was only two and a half minutes. And I feel like every now and then it's so nice to have one of those. And historically, and I totally understand it, Lauren is very opposed to doing a pre taped piece for the cold open.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

So there either probably was nothing good that week, but it was obviously written to be a cold open, so it.

[Jorma Taccone]

Feels good at home. That felt like we were watching a very special episode. You're like, ooh, we better strap in. This is important.

[Andy Samberg]

The way Tracy said, wiser still. Like, the sentence structure of that has always stuck in my head. Like, as soon as it started playing, I was like, oh, here it comes.

[Jorma Taccone]

Opening monologue he had to do to the lens. And it's not like we have teleprompters, so that's all. There's no cue cards. So in very non SNL fashion, he's off book and delivers it perfectly. And I remember talking to him beforehand being like, yo, how are we going to do this? Cards all. And he was like, I've been working at 30 Rock. Like, I know how to memorize lines now I got it. And Then he did, and I remember being very impressed by that.

[Bill Hader]

Oh, great.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, that's good.

[Bill Hader]

The monologue, there's a very funny moment where he says how much Lauren meant to him, and he brings him up on stage, and it's a stagehand, and the guy says, I've been telling you for 13 years, I'm a stage fan and it's really nice for those at.

[Jorma Taccone]

Home who want to watch it, it is on Peacock.

[Bill Hader]

Hey, Andy. There was a Brian Fellows in Tracy's return episode. And now it's time for a quiz for Andy. Andy, were you in it?

[Seth Meyers]

I know I was in Astronaut Jones.

[Bill Hader]

Okay. That. I don't think he did it this time.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay, so, yes, you were.

[Bill Hader]

Based on how long it took you to answer. I have no confidence of the next part, which is, what animal did you bring out?

[Seth Meyers]

Fucking monkey.

[Bill Hader]

A red tailed hawk.

[Seth Meyers]

Was it a real red tailed hawk?

[Bill Hader]

It was a real hawk.

[Jorma Taccone]

Like.

[Bill Hader]

So this is a fascinating thing about working at snl.

[Seth Meyers]

I was holding it.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. Like, just imagine, if you're listening right now, just imagine that you're wearing a Falconer's glove and a full hawk is on it. And you've got to walk out and have a conversation with Tracy Morgan with a hawk on your arm. And then not 100 years in the future, but just like 15, someone's like, did you. What animal was it? And you're like, monkey, Right. You had a hawk on your arm.

[Andy Samberg]

That really distills me because I was.

[Seth Meyers]

So focused on party guys.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. Anyway, it was Scared Straight. It was very funny. Scared Straight.

[Seth Meyers]

I remember that.

[Bill Hader]

Oh, but also in Scared Straight, it made me laugh. Tracy Morgan said to you, he pulled you up and he said, where'd you get the beer, Bob Dylan? Which weirdly, is like a callback to our last pot.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my God.

[Bill Hader]

All right, so. Oh, there's one other sketch that we have to talk about before we talk about the digital short, which I think about a lot. It's a great sketch. Rocket Dog.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, I don't remember it.

[Bill Hader]

Rocket Dog is wig. Hosts a show that talks about upcoming children's films. And Tracy is the director of a film called Rocket Dog. And they cut to a clip of Rocket Dog and it's Andy, you are a little boy and you have a dog wearing a jetpack.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Bill Hader]

And it's clearly the last scene of the movie. And the dog shoots off into outer space, and then it cuts to an in memoriam of the dog. And then it cuts back to wig. And first of all, it's really Best of Mulaney, Rich and Sawyer.

[Seth Meyers]

Yes. Yes.

[Bill Hader]

And I actually texted Simon to confirm this is where they got the idea. I remember we were at the rewrite table the week before, and Paula Pell, who is truly one of the greatest lovers of animals in the world, she is the greatest gift to the animal kingdom. She's a great adopter of pets. And she was telling a story about how awful animals had been treated on a kid's movie and how they had filmed it in a country where there were like, laxer laws and a bunch of dogs and cats had died in the making of a beloved children's film. Which, due to legal reasons, I'm not gonna say the title of, but I definitely remember. But while she was telling the story, Simon's eyes were getting so wide with glee because it was seeding in him that was gonna write a sketch about a children's movie where all the animals died. So they roll the clip.

[Seth Meyers]

Houston, we have a doll.

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay, couple things.

[Bill Hader]

You chose to play a clip that was the ending of your movie.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. Okay.

[Bill Hader]

I just wanted to make sure that you knew that. Also, I noticed that the do who.

[Jorma Taccone]

Played Rocket Dog passed away.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

You know, that was very sad. On a movie set, you become like a family. Then one day you have to strap a rocket onto a member of your family and set that thing on fire.

[Bill Hader]

And there's a line that Tracy says throughout the sketch that I always remember, which is, houston, we have a dog. And then they show other clips. And the second clip, clip, the dog died. Two other animals died. And also Andy's actor died. And then the third scene, Bobby is now playing Andy's part.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Bill Hader]

It's a really good. It's the last sketch of the night and it's the dream of what a five to oner is supposed to be. Wonderful.

[Seth Meyers]

Good stuff.

[Bill Hader]

Houston, we have a dog.

[Seth Meyers]

Houston, we have a dog.

[Andy Samberg]

Support for the Lonely Island Seth Meyers podcast also comes from Quince. One night with Quince's European linens and I finally understood the husband type. The difference was immediate. These sheets are light, they're breathable, they're super soft with that perfectly lived in vibe, but new woven from 100% European flax linen. They have that heirloom quality and it gets softer with each wash. This is true. I ordered the European linen modern stripe sheet set and loved them. Absolutely loved them.

[Seth Meyers]

Them.

[Andy Samberg]

I found it was breathable but light and just gave me a great night of sleep, guys. And I don't want you to be jealous about this when I say that they sent it to me for free, which is pretty killer. But by partnering with top artisans, Quince cuts out the cost of the middleman and passes the savings on to you and to me. And here's another fun fact. Quince also works only with factories that use safe, ethical and responsible manufacturing practices and premium fabrics and finishes. Experience the difference.

Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Maker's Mark. This Father's Day, we're partnering with Maker's Mark to celebrate the fathers and father figures in all of our lives. Nurturing a family takes time, patience and care. And just like distilling bourbon, there are no shortcuts. In honor of everything perfectly unreasonable our fathers have done for the sake of something remarkable, Maker's Mark wants to extend a happy Father's Day. And cheers from the founding Samuels family. And it's three generation of remarkable dads. You know, can I just say about the remarkable dads that I do this podcast with? We always put our family and our children first. And in fact, that's why I'm the only one reading the ad right now. Because the other three of them are doing what they should do, being incredible fathers. You too can celebrate the devoted father figures in your life by picking up a bottle of Maker's Mark 46, the perfect gift for Father's Day Day. Kentucky made and French finished makers 46 can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in a Manhattan. Maker's Mark is perfectly unreasonable about taste, which is why makers46 is finished longer with seared French oak staves, resulting in a smooth bourbon base with notes of caramel and vanilla. Maker's Mark 46 makes their bourbon carefully. Please enjoy it that way. Maker's Mark 46 Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey barrel finished with 10 virgin French oak staves 40% alcohol volume 2025 Maker's Mark Distillery Inc. Loretto, Kentucky and oh, Andy's gonna be so mad he wasn't here because his favorite thing is French oak staves.

[Bill Hader]

All right, now we're into party. Guys. Talk to me. Where did we shoot it?

[Andy Samberg]

I don't know. I don't remember where I was. But we're going to get to the bottom of it.

[Jorma Taccone]

It was a real apartment. It was a rare time where we must have had it early enough that they could get us some sort of a location, Right?

[Seth Meyers]

We're not. Nope.

[Jorma Taccone]

Or we had a hotel.

[Seth Meyers]

It was flat. Hotel.

[Jorma Taccone]

It was really.

[Andy Samberg]

It looked like a real apartment.

[Jorma Taccone]

We did a great job faking it. Forget what I said.

[Seth Meyers]

We got a better room than normal.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. The fact that I'm looking at this frame and there's a wall and then a. There must have been a balcony.

[Andy Samberg]

Dude, that's a way better room.

[Seth Meyers]

I remember it being fl. And I might be wrong.

[Jorma Taccone]

No, but you might be right.

[Seth Meyers]

But look.

[Jorma Taccone]

Look at. We've got like a corner with two different sliding glass doors and a wall here. This is a big suite that looks like a real place. But you're right. It could just be a giant hotel suite.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm almost positive.

[Bill Hader]

I think it might be a giant hotel suite because it also is too big to be an apartment.

[Jorma Taccone]

You're right. And it has no decorations besides what was thrown up.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, I think it's the same apartment we shot some of those shots for Hero Song in.

[Jorma Taccone]

Even the same big hotel room.

[Seth Meyers]

There was like a bigger nice one.

[Bill Hader]

Go to the very end, Keev, and tell me how long it actually is from start to finish.

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay. It's exactly 90 seconds.

[Bill Hader]

All right, so 90 seconds. 19 beats, 19 comedy beats. I think 21 beats. So, I mean, do we want to watch it through or talk it through.

[Jorma Taccone]

I mean, you could say what the basic premise is, and then we could watch it to remember things.

[Bill Hader]

All right, so Andy and Bill walk into a party, and they're like, ugh, I hate this place. Check out that dude cuts to Bobby looking like a dude dummy. Look at those two winners. Casey Wilson, Abby Elliott looking like the kind of girls you don't want to hang out with at a party. And then 19 jokes and yorm is correct.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's the same kind of exploration as business meeting.

[Bill Hader]

Yep.

[Jorma Taccone]

All right, I'm gonna hit play.

[Andy Samberg]

I. I hate these parties.

[Seth Meyers]

I know. So lame.

[Andy Samberg]

It's always the same people, man.

[Seth Meyers]

No kidding. Look at this dude.

[Andy Samberg]

Nice shirt.

[Jorma Taccone]

Check out these winners.

[Andy Samberg]

Hot.

[Seth Meyers]

Here we go. Look at these jokers.

[Bill Hader]

Three jokers.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, boy.

[Jorma Taccone]

Check out Mr.

[Andy Samberg]

Personality.

[Seth Meyers]

Why do we keep coming to these things?

[Andy Samberg]

I don't know.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, look at this, numb nuts.

[Jorma Taccone]

I mean, we like seeing the writers. It's all people that are known now or have voice notes into this.

[Bill Hader]

So it is. I will say, we get a lot of Ann golden era Anne writing staff in this one.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. And first we have. These aren't writers, but we have Abby and Casey as our party girls. And then. Yeah, three jokers that obviously, we weren't gonna make any of our writers get through the makeup. So these are background people that nicely did it. Then we got Keenan as Mr. Personality with a sash.

[Bill Hader]

Keenan in a nice suit with a sash that says Mr. Personality?

[Andy Samberg]

I don't know.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, look at this, numb nuts.

[Bill Hader]

Okay, our first really good one, Numbnuts, is Lutz with his pants down, sitting on a block of ice, drinking a beer.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I like that. Lutz is cool with it. He was just like, yeah, I'll show it. Sure.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, Numbnuts is a real good one. Next one might be my least favorite.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, let's talk.

[Andy Samberg]

Check out that turd burglar.

[Jorma Taccone]

That's your least favorite. It's pretty good.

[Andy Samberg]

That might be my favorite already.

[Bill Hader]

I got a reason, though.

[Seth Meyers]

There's a guy stealing a turd out of a toilet in the middle of the room.

[Andy Samberg]

The toilet's in the middle of the party.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. He's dressed like a cat burglar in a. It is.

[Bill Hader]

Can I tell you why you guys are gonna hate me? Because it's like Mr. No Fun Logic. Seth. Yeah, it was the one where I didn't believe you would say that at a party.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, yeah, sure.

[Seth Meyers]

You clearly don't hang out with Will Forte enough.

[Bill Hader]

By the way. We'll see Will for later.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, and how.

[Bill Hader]

All right, next one I like.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, look at that guy.

[Andy Samberg]

You know, I think it's pronounced G. Look at that.

[Jorma Taccone]

G gets nothing from the audience. But I like it too.

[Andy Samberg]

I. I do like Andy's part of it when he cracks himself.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, look at that G. We're immediately just folded. The joke has folded. And is it doing a different game?

[Bill Hader]

Which is the game you say, look at that guy. It cuts to a karate suit on a hanger.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, we're making fun of the word guy.

[Bill Hader]

And Bill says, I think it's pronounced G. And you say, look at that again. I like that joke.

[Andy Samberg]

Look at those sons of bitches.

[Seth Meyers]

Those guys are so big.

[Jorma Taccone]

The audience is so fast with the. Oh, that it almost sounds like we piped it in.

[Bill Hader]

It's nuts.

[Seth Meyers]

Are we sure we didn't pipe it in into the edit?

[Andy Samberg]

No, that's the audience.

[Jorma Taccone]

It's impossibly fast.

[Bill Hader]

Now it's really moving. Sons of bitches. A litter of puppies. Those guys are so baked cookies on a sheet.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

Here's now where it gets a little fun for me. The next one, the setup is sausage festival. And given, I think, 50 chances, I wouldn't have guessed what you did with it.

[Jorma Taccone]

The fastest shot in history of two guys in lederhosen doing a little dance.

[Seth Meyers]

Holding long sausage links is so fast.

[Bill Hader]

Holding sausage links and dancing together.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, they're having sausage fest.

[Seth Meyers]

Like, I believe those are the Hemasath brothers.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Probably our sweet buddies from wardrobe.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Oh, it totally is.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

Brian and Matt, by the way. So next four in a row. I mean, again, now it's fun.

[Jorma Taccone]

The edits are impossibly fast. And that's what's also saving these.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. So it's a little bit hard for us to do it. I'll just say real quick. We'll watch it through. But for our listeners, the next four are. Knucklehead. Hey, cowboy. What's his face? Oh, there's what's his face. And look at that asshole.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

And again, in each case, I would say in that great Lonely island way, you guys go to, like, the seventh to 50. First most obvious choice.

[Seth Meyers]

Look at that knucklehead. Hey there, cowboy.

[Jorma Taccone]

What's his face?

[Bill Hader]

All right.

[Seth Meyers]

Check out this ass.

[Andy Samberg]

Not cool.

[Seth Meyers]

Don't put the cat dragged in.

[Bill Hader]

So a knucklehead is a talking hand with eyes. That's your knucklehead. Great. Signed off. Hey, cowboy. Again, at this point, you think as an audience member, you think you have taught me how to see this Scene. And I'm gonna see a cowboy, but instead I see a boy with a cow's head.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, that's really good.

[Bill Hader]

Then what's his face? And it just cuts to a guy whose face is blurred for just long enough for him to go. And then look at that asshole. And it's just Fred.

[Jorma Taccone]

Hey, like, why didn't you even give me a joke?

[Seth Meyers]

He says, not cool.

[Jorma Taccone]

Not cool. Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

And then Andy holds up a mouse and says, look what the cat dragged in.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, Dead mouse. Oh, it could have been a. It could have been dead mask's helmet. Helmet.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

That would have taken it to the next level.

[Bill Hader]

Now we really have some speed. What are we at now time wise, Keith?

[Jorma Taccone]

102 plus the digital short. We're exactly one minute, man.

[Bill Hader]

All right, you still got like 28 seconds to go. And we've got like nine more beats.

[Seth Meyers]

Check out that hot piece of ass. Here comes the cavalry.

[Bill Hader]

Look at deciding to show his face. All right, this is Andy. It's winning Andy back. I know.

[Seth Meyers]

That one got me.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm surprised that that's the one that got you.

[Bill Hader]

All right. Look at that piece of ass. It's a literally hot piece of ass. It's a piece of ass on the stove frying in a frying pan.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, cuz it's hot.

[Andy Samberg]

Good. Problem.

[Bill Hader]

Here comes the calvary. Calvary enters, which again, like that's where you. You. That's what I expected on Cowboy.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

So I like that the game is just like. Okay, now we're going to do one right down the middle. Brian Tucker, front of the cavalry. Then look who decided to show his face. Sudeikis is Batman with his cowl off. And he immediately gets hit by one of the jokers that we've established earlier.

[Jorma Taccone]

I think there's a James Anderson in the calvary as well. Hold on.

[Bill Hader]

Oh, boy. I like that you guys cast the southern people.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, wow. Yeah. Everybody fucking made an appearance in this. That's great.

[Bill Hader]

The two most southern cast members outside of Emily Spivey.

[Seth Meyers]

Right? Writers.

[Bill Hader]

Writers of the writers. All right, three to go.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay. These motherfuckers. Jost Klein and Mulaney.

[Bill Hader]

Jost Klein and Mulaney with some older.

[Jorma Taccone]

Women pre Mother lover video. Just kind of foreshadowing.

[Bill Hader]

I did send. I took a screen grab of Jost Klein and Mulaney with older women and red solo cups, drinking and partying. And I just said SNL after parties used to be so fun.

[Seth Meyers]

And remember guys, when we pitched Mother Lover to Justin and he was like, but what about that shot in Party Guys?

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Isn't this derivative?

[Bill Hader]

It's like, you can't bump with Party Guys.

[Seth Meyers]

You can't do that. Klein, Josten Mullaney.

[Bill Hader]

Well, I'll do Mother Lovers, but only with them.

[Jorma Taccone]

That is a great crew right there.

[Bill Hader]

It is a great crew.

[Andy Samberg]

We do have to slow down the beat for you to watch this, though. Like, it does take a second for you to be like, mothers, people. Who are them.

[Bill Hader]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, man. Can't believe they let Tom in here. That guy's a serial rapist. Yeah. I still can't believe this was allowed to air.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah, it's a bit of a dick in a box reference. Right after a mother lover reference.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, that guy's a serial rapist. And we cut to orte, bathroom door half open, just going to town on a box of Alphabets.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

And then sees us looking at him and slams the door shut.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. He hadn't realized he had left it open till this exact moment.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Got a big laugh when I rewatched it. It chilled me to my core. But there you have it.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

People like alphabets.

[Bill Hader]

One last joke.

[Jorma Taccone]

This party blows is an interesting. That's too interesting of a sentence to let go.

[Bill Hader]

And you. You did nothing.

[Jorma Taccone]

And then we didn't do anything. It should have just been like, oh, what do you want to do? You know what I mean? Or something. If you needed a breath there, it should have been a sigh and something vague.

[Bill Hader]

Right. Not saying this party blows and then not doing anything with it. I agree.

[Jorma Taccone]

Or the joke needed to be that. They wait and wait. I said, this party blows. Like. Like they know the joke is coming. And they're like, what the hell? Why isn't anything happening? And then someone just walks up and, like, blows gently in their face.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. That somebody wasn't holding an industrial fan right off camera and just immediately, like, turn it on.

[Jorma Taccone]

Exactly. Oh, sorry, I forgot. What? The fan. Because of the joke thing you're doing. See, we could have punched this up in a second.

[Bill Hader]

We can go back and redo it. Should we redo it the way, like, Lucas redid all the Star Wars?

[Jorma Taccone]

I think so. A nice cg.

[Seth Meyers]

We should put, like, cgi, Jabbas and everything.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Let's start with this one.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

Well, he goes, this party blows. We cut to Jabba the Hut with a fan. They're like, I said, this party blows. And he goes, oh, sorry, fellas. Then he turns on the fan.

[Bill Hader]

Do the Jabba. Laugh again. Andy, I didn't know you had that.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, damn. Did Bill Hader just get.

[Seth Meyers]

Bill does it better. Yeah, Bill's better at it. Yeah, but I can rap better. I can rap way better.

[Bill Hader]

You know, it's funny. Yeah. Never mind. Nothing's funny. What are we talking about?

[Jorma Taccone]

Here we go. That's the truth.

[Seth Meyers]

Jesus, Seth, are you okay?

[Bill Hader]

I just. I don't know.

[Andy Samberg]

Let's talk.

[Bill Hader]

That Cheerios. Thing spun me out.

[Seth Meyers]

Here we go. Yeah. You are off your game. It's crazy. Oh, man, Check out these douchebags.

[Bill Hader]

That's us.

[Andy Samberg]

A sad end.

[Bill Hader]

It's a little sad.

[Andy Samberg]

It's a sad end. Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

But it's correct. It needed to turn on them. They've been very judgmental.

[Seth Meyers]

It's what they get. Yeah. Just desserts.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. Look at these two douchebags. And then we. You guys see yourselves in a reflection of a mirror. There is a nice. I mean, it is nice, too, that you guys came to that conclusion. It wasn't somebody yelling at you.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. And then big sighs of resignation of knowing it's the truth.

[Seth Meyers]

If we had it to do over again, though, Keev, do you think we would have been like, the reveal is that we're centaurs, and, like, who are we to judge?

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, yeah. Jabba Boss bodies.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, we could do it with cg.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. Half Jabba on the bottom, human on the top.

[Seth Meyers]

If anyone's out there just wants to take the last frame. It's about 129 seconds. And just.

[Andy Samberg]

Sorry, you're saying Centaur Jabbas. You hear that? You guys are Centaur Jabbas.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, we're Jabba. Centaurs. What would you call that? A job? Yeah, give them slug bottoms, Centabas.

[Jorma Taccone]

Oh, is that a good SNL commercial parody for next season? Slug bottoms.

[Andy Samberg]

Slug bottoms. That's what a douchebag is. It's a half Jabba.

[Bill Hader]

No, you, obviously. Then you. You adr. And at those two Jabas.

[Andy Samberg]

Jabba Centaurs.

[Seth Meyers]

We cut to someone else at the party going, look at those two Jabas.

[Bill Hader]

Or sent cent.

[Seth Meyers]

Or half jabas.

[Jorma Taccone]

Slug bottoms, whatever.

[Seth Meyers]

You know, it's not a big semi jobs. Semi Jabas.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah. Oh, look at those two semi jobs.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

Or when you guys come in, like, Bill calls you Steve Andy.

[Seth Meyers]

Right.

[Bill Hader]

And then at the end, someone goes, hey, look, it's Steve Jobs. But then it's you with a job of bottom, right?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, Steve Jobs.

[Bill Hader]

So they think it's going to be Steve Jobs, but it's actually like the portmanteau of the first name Steve. First name Jabba.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, that's perfect, Steve Jobba.

[Jorma Taccone]

We're way better at comedy writing now than we were then, that's for sure.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, we did it. We did it. And that would make this criterion. But we didn't do it.

[Bill Hader]

But we didn't do it. We didn't come close.

[Seth Meyers]

So unfortunately, it's just goes on the totally fine pile.

[Bill Hader]

She. Fine.

[Jorma Taccone]

The debate on this is Kim's video or not, And I don't know that it's our debate to have. I mean, we need Lynn and Questlove.

[Seth Meyers]

To come in, and for so many reasons. By the way.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. I had Quest on my show last night talking about his wonderful SNL music dialogue documentary, and he said he did want to wear a Quaid army shirt, and his stylist wouldn't let him.

[Seth Meyers]

Bless his heart.

[Andy Samberg]

Ah, that's wonderful.

[Jorma Taccone]

That's a good stylist.

[Seth Meyers]

Speaking of Quato, what you cooking, man?

[Bill Hader]

Oh, yeah, Quaid, what you cooking?

[Seth Meyers]

Like a grilled cheese or you got some Mac and cheese?

[Bill Hader]

Oh, you know what you could say to Cueto as Wahlberg. Say hi to your mother for me. It's just sort of a shout out to Goose's Goosey's wife.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah. Hey, cuido, say hi to your mother for me. See Goose's wife.

[Bill Hader]

What you cooking?

[Jorma Taccone]

Do you. Do you think Quato watched Maverick and when he would see Rooster, he'd be, like, kind of jealous in a weird way. Like, that's.

[Seth Meyers]

What the fuck.

[Jorma Taccone]

The fuck.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm literally her son.

[Jorma Taccone]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

By the way, if he did audition for it, I wonder if he went in there and went, hey, Jack Wade auditioning for Rooster. Oh, cock a doodle do. I'll just go. I'll just go. That's our audition bit. And then he's like, oh, yeah, I.

[Bill Hader]

Will say, Andy, I knew it was our audition bit. And I thought you were going to do, like, Great Balls of Fire or whatever song it is they sang. And so the fact that it was cock a doodle do was I did find a great amount of surprise and delight from that.

[Seth Meyers]

Miles sings Great Balls of Fire in the new one, right?

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, because that's what kids that age sing.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, if you're part of that family, that's the song you sing. Seth.

[Jorma Taccone]

Wait, who played in the film Great Balls of Fire? This is just a little question.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, my God.

[Jorma Taccone]

Who played Jerry Lee Lewis? Guys, that's correct.

[Seth Meyers]

Fuck.

[Bill Hader]

This podcast is like, oh, my God. We're in a simulation. We are living in a simulator simulation. Everything is connected.

[Jorma Taccone]

What year was that movie Released, Obviously, I need to know that now.

[Bill Hader]

87. Great balls of Fire. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna put me down for 87.

[Jorma Taccone]

All right. Great Bells of Fire. I saw it in theater. I was just at the age where I could go do that. 89. Okay. Okay, guys, this is a lot to think about. What year was hot?

[Bill Hader]

What year was Top Guns?

[Jorma Taccone]

Early top gun.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. 86. Right?

[Jorma Taccone]

86. Okay, so somebody was watching. Meg was on the. On the set.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Jorma Taccone]

Goose is playing Great Balls of Fire. She's like, there's something to this. Get this in development right now. She goes home, honey, I heard a song today from the 60s. I think there's a whole movie there. This guy married his cousin who was 13.

[Seth Meyers]

Quaido. Please confirm.

[Jorma Taccone]

We gotta get in on this.

[Seth Meyers]

Please confirm. Quaido.

[Bill Hader]

I have a problem. I think my problem with this theory. I bet Megaran and Dennis Quaid aren't couple a couple yet. Oh, God. Then the whole thing falls apart.

[Jorma Taccone]

What year did Meg Ryan quo?

[Seth Meyers]

Once you're done with your grilled cheese, which smells delicious, by the way.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah. They met on the film DOA in 1988. So post. Oh, but it still could work. He's like, oh, anything cool happened on the set of Top Gun?

[Jorma Taccone]

They had previously worked together on Inner Space, of course, in 87. But their romance blossomed during DOA.

[Seth Meyers]

Wait a minute. DOA yorm, isn't that the movie you told us that you like to jerk to?

[Andy Samberg]

Well, Andy, I said that in confidence.

[Jorma Taccone]

You said that your totally good penis likes to get jerked to doa.

[Andy Samberg]

Totally normal sized peen.

[Jorma Taccone]

Fuck. But this is a lot. This is a lot to process with Great Balls of Fire. Minimum, minimum. Meg Ryan had to hear Anthony Edwards singing it a bunch on set. And then just three years later, you have to hear it being sung, like from the shower and from like the kitchen. Just rehearsing it home. So she's heard the song a lot.

[Seth Meyers]

I think we can agree, bare minimum. At some point she could have gone, oh, I know that song.

[Bill Hader]

Andy. Yeah, I would like to do real quick, you walking in to audition for Jerry Lee Lewis.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, great. Hey, guys.

[Bill Hader]

Hey. How are you?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, wait, well, I mean, when that was casting, it would be like, hi.

[Bill Hader]

Oh, hi.

[Jorma Taccone]

Okay, so you're a little young, but.

[Bill Hader]

I'm a little boy. Hi. So sorry. You're Andy from the Bay Area.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, well, I'm Gary Lee Lewis.

[Bill Hader]

Okay, great. Well, you know, whenever you're ready, just let us see what you have.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay, so just when I'm Ready?

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, whenever you're ready. Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain. You gotta live and make a man. I'll just. I'm gonna go. I'm just gonna go.

[Jorma Taccone]

You always make it really. You make it easy on the casting directors that they don't have to kick you out.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. I let them off the hook and just leave. Cause you know when it's not right.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I've actually done that several times. Just like.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay, you have your. Do you think you maybe fucked yourself out of a job doing it, though?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, no, definitely I. For Wolf of Wall Street, I was like. And that didn't work.

[Jorma Taccone]

See you later.

[Bill Hader]

Oh, wow. What were you auditioning for in Wolf of Wall Street?

[Seth Meyers]

But the Margot Robbie part, he's like, ooh, Leo.

[Andy Samberg]

I was one of the. One of the traders, and a friend of mine got the part and said.

[Seth Meyers]

One of the traders.

[Jorma Taccone]

And now it's the one month or three weeks of like, crazy grind of doing the entire sound mix, getting all the VFX in and doing all the color correction.

[Bill Hader]

Great.

[Andy Samberg]

Bing bong. That's very exciting.

[Jorma Taccone]

So that's what we're doing August.

[Bill Hader]

August 1, probably July 31, I guess would be the Thursday night screenings. But yeah. So we got to get it done by the end the of. Of June so that they can make the DCPs, as they're known as for July.

[Bill Hader]

Digital Cinema Projection. Is that right?

[Andy Samberg]

That. That sounds right.

[Seth Meyers]

Jorm, did you say bing bong?

[Andy Samberg]

I did. I've been saying bing bong a bit too much, I would say.

[Seth Meyers]

Right.

[Jorma Taccone]

Because they lost digital cinema package.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, y. Didn't want to show his digital cinema package.

[Jorma Taccone]

I don't know why. It's completely good.

[Bill Hader]

Well, yeah, I did.

[Seth Meyers]

Sorry. I apologize. Y Very much did Mar. She's like, cuz it's so big that I think it could up our marriage.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, it might up the screen, right?

[Seth Meyers]

It will like break people's TVs.

[Andy Samberg]

Like, would it even fit on there?

[Seth Meyers]

People would be like, whoa, my TV just exploded.

[Bill Hader]

What else is smaller than you told me? Is this apartment smaller than you told me? Is our car smaller than you told me?

[Seth Meyers]

You're going to mess up other people's relationships, cuz you're going to be like, whoa, it could be like that.

[Bill Hader]

I didn't know it could be like that.

[Seth Meyers]

That thing is.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, we're getting divorced.

[Seth Meyers]

This is the dude.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, well, I don't know.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah, sure.

[Andy Samberg]

No, I was doing an impression of every lady watching.

[Seth Meyers]

Dude's like, I just realized I want to get plow.

[Jorma Taccone]

Out there.

[Seth Meyers]

All this time I was straight cuz I thought dicks were little.

[Andy Samberg]

That was the impression of all the ladies watching. Oh, we're gonna get them war. Cause of that dude.

[Seth Meyers]

Sounds like a fucking dude from Jersey for some reason.

[Bill Hader]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh shit, I'm out of here.

[Seth Meyers]

My whole life I was like, I don't want to get reamed. Cause I think dig's a little like mine. But then I saw this kid on Girls, my favorite show.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh shit, we're gonna get divorced. Cause you deserve better.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, okay. That's all. I think.

[Bill Hader]

I. I just. Just picturing the brunch where everybody's saying to that dude's wife, like, wait, what happened?

[Andy Samberg]

It's complicated.

[Jorma Taccone]

Tony saw.

[Bill Hader]

Explain this again. So you were watching.

[Jorma Taccone]

He was watching Girls. Tony saw another man's penis for the first time. That was totally. Just a good, average sized penis. He felt so guilty about his penis and our marriage that he said he was gonna step aside so she could experience that. He kept calling it that great big thing.

[Seth Meyers]

Honestly, shockingly generous, super out of character for him.

[Jorma Taccone]

Fr yeah, he was just like, life's too short, honey.

[Andy Samberg]

Don't worry about me. I'm just gonna barbecue the rest of the time.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Bill Hader]

Brought me flowers. When he told me, he's like, enjoy yourself. And let me tell you, I didn't know. I didn't know.

[Andy Samberg]

I didn't know how average it could be.

[Bill Hader]

I didn't know.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, well anyway, this is just.

[Jorma Taccone]

Like a writing night. Sometimes you just have to go down a bunch of different roads before you find what it's gonna be about. Now you wish you could just start.

[Andy Samberg]

You root around in the dark and then you find, you know, a little light.

[Jorma Taccone]

If that was the cold open of a movie. Believe me, I'm watching the whole thing.

[Bill Hader]

All movie. So listen to this one backwards.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, and slow down.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm gonna design a shirt and send it to you guys in the next, like, five minutes. I think it's gonna be real good.

[Bill Hader]

Oh, okay.

[Seth Meyers]

I look forward to that.

[Jorma Taccone]

Great.

[Bill Hader]

All right, love you guys.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, love you, buddies. Talk soon.

[Jorma Taccone]
