• Recollections include how exciting it felt to interact with set pieces like Cherry (“Just being in the same room with fucking Cherry and Conkey...thrilling even just watching it.” – Andy, 52:51)
• The structure: a montage of comic escalating antics, Andy and Pee-wee getting trashed, and various run-ins—including a policeman and an intervention by friends.
• The sketch’s closing: Pee-wee and Andy’s friendship is bittersweetly dissolved to “save” each other.

Quotes:
"You're just living a childhood dream of doing the Tequila dance with Peewee." – Keith (47:31)

• On Paul’s Birthday Messages:
  "He would always call me on my birthday and he would have the same jokes. You’d answer and he would say, ‘What’s wrong?’ And you’d say, ‘Nothing.’ And he’d say, ‘I don’t know. Something’s different…you sound older.’" – Josh Myers (55:32–55:41)

Episode Tone & Language

• Highly playful, irreverent, and filled with decades-in-the-making inside jokes and tangents.

• The language is informal, at times explicit, and true to The Lonely Island’s “bit-inside-a-bit” comedic style.

---

Final Thoughts & Takeaways

• “Pee Wee and Andy's Night Out” is less a chronological making-of, more a tangential, heartfelt celebration—a reminder that comedy and pop culture can create lifelong inspiration and community.
• The short came together both out of opportunity and genuine awe: the chance to work with Paul Reubens, a formative comedic hero, was as exciting for The Lonely Island in their 30s and 40s as it would have been for them as kids.
• Paul Reubens is remembered as both a peerless performer and a rare, generous human being whose kindness rippled through the comedy world.
• The group promises to return to more Pee-wee stories in future episodes, recognizing the depth of influence and memories left to unpack.

Quote:
"Just being in the same room with fucking Cherry and Conkey...it was thrilling even just watching it." – Andy Samberg (52:51)

---

For the superfans:
This episode is full of Easter eggs and shoutouts—Brooklyn Nine-Nine in-jokes (“Bones Brigade”), sitcom trivia, and playful digs at their own clothing and status as middle-aged “hat guys.” It’s a loose, affectionate, digressive look at the power of childhood comedy obsessions and the joy of bringing them full circle.

it's the lonely

[Keith]

island of Seth M podcast.

[Yorm]

And Yoram doesn't know where his phone is. So who's gonna take the lead? You are, Seth.

[Andy Samberg]

Do it.

[Keith]

Welcome, guys. Did you like my political action intro last episode?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I felt like you didn't go hard enough, honestly. Because I'm so right wing now, Keev, that I'm just like burning shit down.

[Keith]

Good rebuttal.

[Andy Samberg]

Thanks.

[Keith]

So Greg Chun just sent that to me. It had nothing to do with me, and then asked me to approve it, which I did.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, that's good, right?

[Yorm]

We heard that you approved the message.

[Keith]

Yeah, he's part of the pack. I started, I guess, political action committee.

[Andy Samberg]

I almost didn't hear it because I was at Trump's speech.

[Keith]

Oh yeah, that'll happen. So this week's episode is the peewee one again. I'm on paternity leave, so I wasn't there. But we'll get into it with Seth, you arm. Yeah, I saw Gail Daughtry in the Celebrity Sex Pass and it's very, very funny. You saw a rough cut or a final or.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, I saw a rough cut, yeah.

[Keith]

Yeah. So I saw the final thing, and it's really funny, and I want to. I guess it comes out tomorrow, but this podcast won't come out till Tuesday. So it's in theaters now. And Ken Marino made it and Dave Whitten directed it, and Marino's in it a bit.

[Andy Samberg]

It's very, very funny. And actually, I saw it so long ago, Keeva didn't remember the title. So say it one more time for our listeners because it's fun.

[Keith]

Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, easy to remember.

[Keith]

How did I says it all. But it's worth promoting on here because these are the guys that made like, Wet Hot American Summer and little comedies like this don't, you know, go in theaters very often.

[Andy Samberg]

And so for the quake, extremely funny. I laughed out loud a lot.

[Keith]

Yeah. So if you like that style of Wet Hot American Summer or They Came together was another good one. Or role models the state. Stella was David Wayne.

[Yorm]

And who else from Stella is involved? Keith.

[Keith]

A little guy named Jolo Truglio is in it a lot. Yeah.

[Yorm]

From the nine of a little fella.

[Keith]

I don't want to ruin it, but there's a. This ruins at a team. But There is a 9.

[Andy Samberg]

9.

[Keith]

There's a 9. 9 reference in the movie.

[Yorm]

Oh, Jesus.

[Keith]

You spoiled it just for one second. Well, you spoiled it. You can cut that out now.

[Yorm]

We got to keep it.

[Keith]

Just be. Just beep it.

[Yorm]

Well, we got to keep it because. Because maybe all the nine. Nine heads out there. What are they called? I don't know.

[Keith]

Michael Black's in there a little bit.

[Yorm]

They would want to go check that out.

[Andy Samberg]

Wait, do you not have a name for 99 heads?

[Yorm]

I don't know.

[Andy Samberg]

Ners.

[Yorm]

I'm not on the Soc. You're me. So I assume there's something Brooklyn 49.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, but you were on it for, like, quite a few years. I would think that you would have picked up what they would call themselves. Let's figure out.

[Keith]

Do TV show viewers usually make a name the way that band people, you know, do musician?

[Andy Samberg]

I think Brooklyn 99 was a huge hit. I heard.

[Keith]

Yeah, but like, what are friends Fans?

[Andy Samberg]

Friends. That's what they're called. Oh, yeah. I would say 9.9ers squad it says squad.

[Yorm]

Something about squad.

[Keith]

Frenetics.

[Andy Samberg]

Friend addicts.

[Keith]

Yeah, that's the. That's the friends. I'm a friend addict.

[Yorm]

Oh, that's for sure.

[Andy Samberg]

I know you are. I know you are. Anytime I see anybody wearing that friend's sweatshirt, I think of you, Keith.

[Keith]

I just busted it out for the first time in years and it blew my kids minds because they love Friends now, but they didn't know I was sitting on a sweet friend's hoodie.

[Andy Samberg]

Can we talk about some of your shittier shirts? I don't think we've really dealt.

[Keith]

You've talked about all the. The stuff? Yeah, all my Rocky stuff.

[Andy Samberg]

You have some other shitty ones, though. I'm sorry, I don't mean to say shitty. I mean like, you know, crappy.

[Keith]

Uhhuh. What else. What else of my dog wardrobe do you want to talk about?

[Andy Samberg]

Well, I mean, I like your sleep.

[Yorm]

I think it's just nine 9ers, but I could be wrong.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, nine 9 squad squadron.

[Yorm]

I'm not sure I. I'm sure there was a moment when I knew if it existed and now I've forgotten because I suck. But anyway, peace and love.

[Andy Samberg]

You just don't let it go to your head, which is so cool about you.

[Yorm]

Oh my God. Thank you for saying that.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Do you even remember that you were on that show?

[Yorm]

Yeah, dude, I was really on it. I was the main guy. I solved all the cases.

[Keith]

Yeah. Andy, we don't have Seth today, so we're going to need your full focus.

[Yorm]

I know, I'm sorry. I was trying to figure out what the Nine9 fans were called.

[Andy Samberg]

I do have a question that. Is Brooklyn 99 related? Did Jake Peralta have a middle name and was it Powell?

[Keith]

Yeah, Jake Paul Peralta.

[Yorm]

I always wanted it to be Powell. And I always believed that the name was ripped from Pal Peralta.

[Keith]

And did you think that the Brooklyn Nine Nine fans are known as the Bones Brigade?

[Yorm]

Man, I would love that.

[Andy Samberg]

I think that's the new one. That's pretty hot.

[Yorm]

According to Google.

[Andy Samberg]

What are we talking about today, guys? Three shock jocks here coming at you, talking about snl.

[Keith]

A little bit of a sleepy start, Andy. What were you saying?

[Yorm]

I was saying, according to Google, AI Jake Peralta's middle name is Jeffrey, but he legally changed it to Sherlock. I have no clue if that's true. I said so many lines so fast, you guys.

[Andy Samberg]

You don't remember if that's true.

[Keith]

Many of the Quaids are going to know if that's True or not. So let us let Andy know if his character he played on NBC or Fox on both networks. Two of the major four networks.

[Yorm]

Rakis and the Jicus. Rakis and the Jakus and let's see,

[Keith]

Rachus and the Jacus. That's for the Jake Peralta trivia is you get raped in the Jake.

[Yorm]

Norm.

[Keith]

We did.

[Yorm]

We did over 150 episodes over eight years.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, that's true. That's. That's fair. But I immediately had a flashback to when I accosted Lori Loughlin to get her to sign my rad poster, which is a great movie if you haven't seen. And I had her write no guts, no glory, which is a quote from the movie. And she was like, oh, is that from the movie? And I was like, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah. How do you not remember?

[Keith]

And broke your little heart.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. And I feel how people are.

[Keith]

How could she not remember?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, I'm sure there's some, some bones brigade member who is bummed to know that you don't remember. Shirley.

[Keith]

Maybe, maybe 200 episodes of full House just wiped it.

[Yorm]

You know, I mean, I think I would guarantee you there's jokes in Pop Star and other things we've made over the years that someone else would remember that we have forgotten because we've done so much and it's been so long.

[Andy Samberg]

It's true. And we're old.

[Yorm]

She didn't even write rad. It's possible yorm that for her it was just another fucking gig.

[Andy Samberg]

Journeyman.

[Yorm]

She's a journeyman actor.

[Keith]

That's dark to even think about.

[Yorm]

Yeah. She's like, I just thinking about the next time I get to play Willy

[Keith]

Loman, a real thespian back on the boards.

[Yorm]

This, yeah, this rad BS is just paying the bills.

[Andy Samberg]

I just want to pound the boards.

[Yorm]

I want to pound those boards and feed my soul.

[Keith]

I just want to make sure my kids can go to college.

[Yorm]

I was waiting for it.

[Michael Bryant]

I know.

[Keith]

And I didn't want to hit her because we're fans here. We're a full house family over here.

[Andy Samberg]

I would like to

[Yorm]

keep his house.

[Andy Samberg]

House.

[Keith]

Yeah. My house.

[Yorm]

Yeah. My kids ain't seen that yet.

[Andy Samberg]

My kids just watched Happy Gilmore and friggin loved it.

[Keith]

I bet you we know Happy Gilmore better than Sandler does. Should we organize a trivia competition between us and Sandler on Happy? He. You know what?

[Seth Meyers]

That's not true.

[Keith]

He might know it well because he had to write the sequel. So he probably just probably re engaged.

[Andy Samberg]

He probably watched it Again.

[Keith]

Yeah, but Billy Madison, we could maybe do a trivia thing or see if we can beat him at it.

[Andy Samberg]

I will say my favorite line maybe of the movie is the doctor giving him medical advice. Well, just stay off it for a couple of days. Screw that. Like, I'm. Oh, well, what is this line? It's fine.

[Yorm]

Do what you want. What would I know? I'm just a doctor.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm just a doctor. Like, for a day player, like murdering that.

[Keith]

That's a. A very airplane style read.

[Andy Samberg]

What? I know. I'm just a doctor.

[Keith]

So another monitor is going off.

[Yorm]

Hold, please.

[Keith]

Well, what's going off?

[Andy Samberg]

I think he said baby monitor.

[Keith]

Oh, I thought he said, like, party's going off. Like, holy shit. And he's going to go do like a tequila shot or something.

[Andy Samberg]

If he comes back, he's like, holy

[Keith]

shit, party's going off. Hold on, please.

[Andy Samberg]

He could come back with one of those beer helmets that dispenses beer like in Happy Gilmore.

[Keith]

He's like, God, the party was in the other room.

[Andy Samberg]

He doesn't have it.

[Yorm]

What happened?

[Andy Samberg]

Nothing.

[Keith]

Nothing. Nothing at all.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, guys.

[Yorm]

Fucking trashing me.

[Andy Samberg]

No, we would never. Andy. We're part of the bones brigade.

[Keith]

Guys, 10am is too early for these. Hey, listen, another indie that needs our support is from a Quaid head, Lin Manuel Miranda, and it's called Moana.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh.

[Keith]

It's also in theaters against Gail Daughtry at the same time. So go check that out.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, good luck, Moana. Fuck. Tough comp.

[Keith]

Tough competition this weekend. So Seth is going to join this podcast.

[Yorm]

Yeah. Just a little later.

[Keith]

Yeah, he is going to join.

[Yorm]

What's your favorite song on Moana?

[Keith]

It is I Am Moana, where she gets a little more emotional about it later on when the. The Stingray comes back and stuff. And if you did, you know that she actually drops the F bomb in that song in that moment.

[Andy Samberg]

In the new one or the old one? And I just didn't know.

[Keith]

Both.

[Yorm]

Both. Yeah. That's just Lynn being.

[Keith]

Oh, wait, hold on. This is worth it. And. And Lynn actually told me that he, like, snuck this in to see.

[Andy Samberg]

You got to let.

[Michael Bryant]

Lynn.

[Andy Samberg]

Lynn. How far I'll fucking go. Is that it?

[Keith]

Obviously we can only play a few seconds or we'll get flagged for copyright stuff and they'll put all their ads on it. Here it is. Always rising.

[Yorm]

Hear it when you're singing it?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Well, they should get flagged.

[Keith]

Yeah. The tide is. It's like the tide always rising. She's pissed about the tide.

[Yorm]

It's like, she's British always.

[Keith]

She's going kind of British emo on it almost.

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, if you lived on an island, you would find it irritating after a while.

[Keith]

Should we see if Lynn is free to just join this thing and kind of defend himself here? Because it's a kids movie in my.

[Yorm]

It might need its whole. Whole episode.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, probably. I think he's prepping the warriors, but

[Yorm]

I'm sure I haven't felt a scandalized since they put a dick in the little cloud in Aladdin. You know what I mean?

[Keith]

Yeah, exactly. Since Jessica Rabbit spun off the car and you could totally see up her dress. It's weird that he tried to sneak that in. It's so punk of him.

[Yorm]

Yeah, well, that's how it goes.

[Keith]

I also want to know why on Apple Music there's only track 4, 7, 8, and 10 left. What do. They lost the rights to the rest of the tracks from Moana. What's happening here?

[Yorm]

I feel like this is a U issue. Do you think anyone, when they were getting attacked by a U boat, went, I think this is a U problem.

[Keith]

1000%.

[Andy Samberg]

Andy.

[Keith]

Yes.

[Andy Samberg]

I haven't seen Greyhound 2, but I'm sure they say that just. Tom, this sounds like a you problem.

[Yorm]

Oh, they're straight down the lens. Oh, Admiral, I think this sounds like a U problem.

[Andy Samberg]

Roll credits right after that. Great last line.

[Yorm]

Hey, we don't condone AI, but if somebody wants to mock that up, we would play it on the cast. Okay.

[Keith]

They're like, it's a U boat. A me boat? I don't think so. No, a U boat.

[Yorm]

That's also really good. Tell me you were recording that.

[Keith]

Oh, my God.

[Yorm]

Did you see the riff? It was just like, who's on first?

[Keith]

That was an outtake. Yeah. From Greyhound.

[Yorm]

And then they get an edit. I got to be honest, I don't think we can use it. What?

[Keith]

No, no.

[Andy Samberg]

I feel like it detracts from the tension happening.

[Yorm]

It was so funny on the day, though.

[Keith]

You have to believe me.

[Yorm]

It was so funny on the day. Wonderful. Well, we don't have any.

[Keith]

Again, it's the peewee short. I wasn't even there. You both were there, but.

[Yorm]

Yeah, yeah, but, like, normally, like, Seth has, like, a little list of things to go over. Did anyone get sent that? I don't know what's happening. I'm totally amiss.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, we could just talk about what we've been up to. I mean, I was in Washington for, you know, Trump's thing.

[Keith]

Wait, for which one? For The UFC fight.

[Andy Samberg]

UFC fight. And then I just. I hang around outside the White House, just hoping I'll catch a glimpse.

[Keith]

Glimpse of the guy. So you're really leaning into my attack ad.

[Andy Samberg]

H. What attack ad.

[Seth Meyers]

There might be.

[Keith]

We don't know what Greg Chun's up to. He might be attacking me at the top of this one, and I just haven't heard it yet.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, my God.

[Ad Read Voice]

I.

[Keith]

He said he was going to do the rebuttal. All right, I'll be Seth for a second. No, I'll just be a third party here, so.

[Yorm]

No, no, no. Be Seth. How would he say it?

[Keith]

Well, he was there, though, so he'd remember everything. So it's actually not.

[Yorm]

But do it in his voice.

[Andy Samberg]

How would you say it now?

[Keith]

Oh, how would he be. He'd be like.

[Seth Meyers]

Really?

[Yorm]

Yeah, exactly.

[Keith]

Gwyneth Paltrow is CeeLo Green. First off, tell me what CeeLo's first song is without cheating.

[Andy Samberg]

Whatever. The censored version of Fuck you is.

[Keith]

Dang. Yorm with the wind. Forget you.

[Andy Samberg]

Forget you. And that's what it was.

[Keith]

Shocking. Okay.

[Yorm]

Not as good as, obviously, as the. The horse sense version. Buck you.

[Keith]

Second song. Any guesses? There's no way. You guys are.

[Yorm]

That got me the second song.

[Keith]

I just rolled right through it. Yeah.

[Yorm]

From when CeeLo was doing the rounds for. For Forget you.

[Keith]

Maybe it'll help if I tell you this is January 15, 2011. Now continue. That's not a hint, by the way.

[Andy Samberg]

Right after CeeLo had that horse.

[Keith]

All right, I'm going to give you. I'm going to walk you to this. This is good podcast. This is important Zoo crew stuff.

[Andy Samberg]

Here comes Akiva.

[Keith]

It's a Michael J. Fox movie.

[Yorm]

Teen Wolf Think.

[Keith]

But it's the title of a CeeLo song. Slightly tweaked.

[Yorm]

The secret of my Success.

[Keith]

That's a really good guess. No, I got to make sure I'm right.

[Andy Samberg]

Back to the Future three.

[Yorm]

Back to the Future three.

[Keith]

Yeah, it is. And I think it was based on a book.

[Andy Samberg]

Why did he do it? Second, it was. That would clearly the hit Family Ties.

[Keith]

No, it could. That's a good name for a title of a song.

[Yorm]

Yeah, but I mean, by the way, it is the name of many songs, I think. But is this song called Still a Michael J. Fox Movie?

[Keith]

Okay, the first word in the title is bright.

[Yorm]

Bright lights, big city.

[Keith]

Yeah, but now imagine that you were gonna take that and plus it up, just like, go a little.

[Yorm]

A little bit Bright lights, big titty.

[Keith]

Fuck. That'd be way better Bright lights, bigger city.

[Yorm]

Bigger city.

[Andy Samberg]

Big.

[Yorm]

Yeah. So when you do a. I like.

[Andy Samberg]

I like thinking he did the censored version of fuck you. And the second one, big titty.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah,

[Keith]

the version of fuck you. That's forget you. That's much worse.

[Yorm]

Oh, interesting.

[Andy Samberg]

To forget someone. Oh, because p. Like to ignore someone is like the worst thing you can do. That's what you're saying.

[Keith]

Yeah, because it's like saying fuck you. You're still engaged with them and you know, like negative energy is still energy. Forget you. To be like, hey, forget you.

[Andy Samberg]

That's just.

[Keith]

That's actually much worse. That's much worse.

[Andy Samberg]

I know which one Lynn would like. I'll tell you.

[Keith]

That's like you don't even exist to me. Whereas the other one is like, you're still worthy of my attention. You're getting anger, which is still a very strong, powerful emotion. But forget you.

[Andy Samberg]

He's like, can I tell you something?

[Keith]

You don't even exist. That's so much worse.

[Andy Samberg]

I will never forget either of you two.

[Keith]

That's so nice. Hey, fuck you. Oh, but see, I feel something.

[Yorm]

But you're still connected. You're still connected.

[Keith]

I definitely wasn't saying that the song is worse.

[Andy Samberg]

Thanks, Keith.

[Yorm]

Wa. Just real quick pretend that fuck you the song has been recorded. It's a hit. Everyone agrees. We gotta do the clean version. Let's just really quickly put ourselves in that room, pitch a few alts.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, it's. You know what our version. I mean funk you. I would much prefer or buck you

[Keith]

as the horse version and you just

[Yorm]

add in some that's pre existing ip.

[Keith]

But if you do buck you and add a few horse Winnies in the background or even as the sensor sound the way that sometimes people put a over like the word pussy. You could just do like a horse sound like you or do a horse sound. When I like. I'm like but you and but you too. Yeah, it'd be good.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, yeah, that's good.

[Yorm]

It'd be really good. And thanks. What would be bad?

[Andy Samberg]

Fudge you.

[Keith]

Hard to think of what would be bad.

[Andy Samberg]

Now I will say when Norma's about

[Yorm]

to say fart you. Fart you would be bad. Good pitch.

[Keith]

Oh, I almost spit out my coffee. That joke was so great.

[Yorm]

Okay, what about schnarfu? That would be bad.

[Andy Samberg]

Snarf you. What about cluck Cluck you like a chicken?

[Keith]

That would work if the. With if you had some chickens.

[Yorm]

Yeah, you.

[Keith]

I honestly, this is not a joke. That just gave me a weird deja Vu. I think he's done cluck you. I'm just gonna look it up, like,

[Yorm]

for chick fil A or something.

[Andy Samberg]

I feel like that would be good for, like, a chicken restaurant, though.

[Yorm]

Yeah, like chick fil a. It's what I just said. Jesus Christ.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, sorry. Sorry. I didn't hear you. I'm so sorry.

[Yorm]

And I know you support them in their politics. Okay.

[Andy Samberg]

Actually, I was just having it outside the Washington Monument, which hopefully will be the Trump Monument soon.

[Yorm]

And by having it, you mean you were fucking a chicken sandwich?

[Andy Samberg]

Well, I would say if I was

[Yorm]

having it before you ate it. Yes, I know your custom.

[Andy Samberg]

No, having it would be the chicken sandwich. Having sex with me. Right? Like doing me.

[Yorm]

I don't know if I agree with that.

[Andy Samberg]

Having it.

[Yorm]

Yeah, like. Like in. Like.

[Andy Samberg]

I guess I'd be taking it Gilded Age or something.

[Yorm]

You'd be like, I had her. He had her.

[Andy Samberg]

You know, that's true.

[Yorm]

But I guess teach their own. Also, I've never seen a single episode of Gilded Age, so I have no idea.

[Keith]

Oh, you're missing out.

[Yorm]

I have heard it's good. No, Cap.

[Keith]

Decadent fun, as your wife would say. She would. I. I didn't find a cluck you. And I can't hit play on this because it's on Spotify and I don't support that trash.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay?

[Keith]

Unless they want to sponsor the pod, in which case we're right.

[Andy Samberg]

And then we'll do as many ads.

[Yorm]

We're all ears. Yeah. And any, if you want to pump up our tunes on the playlists and whatnot. Let's get that payola rolling.

[Andy Samberg]

Cha Ching.

[Ad Read Voice]

Spy.

[Michael Bryant]

Shopify.

[Keith]

Somebody made a parody of fuck you, and you'll never guess what it is. Duck poo.

[Yorm]

Duck poo.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, that's funny.

[Yorm]

Does really put into perspective yet again how good Weird Al is at it and how bad it could be, you know?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Oop.

[Keith]

Seth's 10 out. Should we just sit in silence for 10?

[Andy Samberg]

I would be more okay with duck poo if it was like, a farmer. You know what I mean? Who made it right.

[Yorm]

Fair doo's.

[Keith]

I went to the screening of Moana and I got a lot of really nice Kuwait armies there, so shout out to the Kuwait army I met briefly at the Moana screening.

[Michael Bryant]

Great.

[Andy Samberg]

That's cool.

[Keith]

When you get some good Kuwait armies, you want to shout them back out.

[Yorm]

Absolutely.

[Keith]

Was it live on the air?

[Andy Samberg]

Was it the Egyptian?

[Keith]

At the Egyptian, it was at the Hollywood Bowl. There were fireworks after, and the LA Philharmonic played the orchestra part, which is

[Yorm]

really cool to see your favorite song from Moana.

[Andy Samberg]

Let it go.

[Yorm]

Great. Really great.

[Keith]

This guy's a fan. A good dad. Jesus. Yeah, I ran into Taran. Voice note giver. Taran.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, my God. Did you have insurance? I hope you guys exchanged insurance. Thank you.

[Keith]

Zero fire.

[Yorm]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, thank you, guys.

[Yorm]

Did you drink coffee or.

[Keith]

No, I hit him with the car and just. What happened?

[Andy Samberg]

Everyone just needs to shut the fuck up.

[Yorm]

So you have a coffee right out of frame. I feel like we can pretty much tell you're drinking coffee.

[Andy Samberg]

I did maybe have Jav earlier.

[Yorm]

Probably why no one else can get a word in edgewise.

[Keith]

And I'm like, duck poo.

[Yorm]

Duck poo's growing on me.

[Keith]

I feel some white stuff on my shoulder and I know it's gross. And I'm like, duck poo.

[Andy Samberg]

Yep. P.S. i'm up.

[Yorm]

All right. Should we start talking about the short.

[Keith]

Tell me about your memories of seeing Peewee's Big Adventure. Did you see it in theaters? You think? What year was it?

[Yorm]

I must have.

[Andy Samberg]

You saw it in theaters? I'm so jealous.

[Yorm]

Pretty sure I think I did. I just remember seeing it for the first time and the large Marge thing freaking me out so hard.

[Keith]

Yeah. I think about that often when we're making something. And I think that a kid could see it now.

[Yorm]

1985, so I would have been seven. Seven or eight.

[Andy Samberg]

You saw that in the theaters? That's really. I'm so totally jealous.

[Keith]

I think I saw it on vhs, but right after that. And Large Marge fucked me up. And it's just Claymation. And it's silly looking, but it's seared into my brain how scared I was of it.

[Yorm]

Yeah. And now. Now it's very.

[Andy Samberg]

When you see it now, you can. You can sort of understand why they thought it would be okay because it's so sort of ridiculous. But like. Yeah, maybe they didn't have kids.

[Keith]

It's a person's face melting off for a second. It's too. And it's in the middle of a ghost story.

[Yorm]

It' like to the end of the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Claymation vibes. Raiders is grosser. But the two things both were very traumatizing for me. I remember.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

I watched it for the first time at Leconte Elementary. I used to go to an after school program called Kids Club. And I saw it there and loved it.

[Yorm]

But was it.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes, also traumatized?

[Yorm]

What part of the state is Leconte in?

[Andy Samberg]

Leconte. You didn't go to Leconte?

[Yorm]

No, I'm just saying it was like Southern Cali Middle.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, it's in Berkeley, California, which is where.

[Keith]

Is that the. Say it. Say it.

[Andy Samberg]

It's in the bray.

[Keith]

Okay, great.

[Yorm]

Didn't realize you were from there.

[Andy Samberg]

We got there, yeah.

[Yorm]

Please go on. Just didn't know you were from there. Please go on.

[Andy Samberg]

Wait, did we all go to Malcolm X? Are you just you and me?

[Yorm]

No, I didn't. I went to Chabot.

[Keith]

I went to a little teeny private.

[Michael Bryant]

Really?

[Andy Samberg]

We all went to different. Okay, yeah.

[Keith]

My elementary was a little private school called Walden.

[Andy Samberg]

Congrats.

[Keith]

Then I moved over to the public

[Yorm]

school, went to Chabot, and then all of us went to Willard. And no one who's not from the bay will understand any of these words.

[Keith]

Willard's like a famous. Like a poet, right?

[Andy Samberg]

Sure.

[Yorm]

He's a famous rat.

[Keith]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

He was a famous rat.

[Keith]

He's a famous rat. He's a horror rat.

[Yorm]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Commanded by one guy who can, like, make him do stuff.

[Yorm]

You better believe it. One Crispin Glover.

[Keith]

What's the Michael Jackson song about? Rats.

[Yorm]

That's Ben.

[Keith]

Ben.

[Yorm]

Ben, make us memory.

[Keith]

That's normal. Yorm, I can see your face. It's normal to make a pop song about a rat. That's normal.

[Andy Samberg]

It does make sense that he would graduate to loving a monkey after that.

[Yorm]

I don't think. I think he was probably just hired to work on the Bubbles.

[Andy Samberg]

Actually, can we get my brother to send in an impression of Michael Jackson talking to Bubbles?

[Keith]

Yeah, we did that a long time ago. I think it's time for another.

[Michael Bryant]

Okay. Hi, guys. It's me, Michael. Okay, well, okay, well, you asked, you know, you asked for a little check in, okay, With. With all my pets who are really, really like my friends, you know, Bubbles is a chimpanzee, okay? And I have Ben, who's my little rat, okay? And as you guys know, okay, you know so well, okay, Jorma and in India and Akiva, okay, you know that he's a tickler, okay? So when you're around Bubbles, it's a tickle fest, okay? But the problem is that Bubbles is now an adolescent, so he really has the strength to tear your arms off. So he's become extremely dangerous. And I might have to say goodbye to Bubbles, okay? As for Ben, he's great, Okay? I know. You know that song that I sing, right? About him. Ben, the two of us need look no more. Anyways, you know, I'm so glad that you guys checked in on my special guys, okay? You guys are my special guys, too. Okay. Okay. Lonely Island. I love your. I love all your music. So much. Really funny stuff. Some. Some jokes are a little too much for me, but anyways, I'm wishing you boys all the best. Okay? God bless.

[Yorm]

Keev, you got world cup fever.

[Keith]

Yeah, we've been watching the games, dude. I love it, Sam.

[Yorm]

I think it's exciting.

[Keith]

Actually, that's where I saw Taran was at a bar. I went and met Cool Hot Dog at a bar to watch the USA game.

[Yorm]

As a reminder to the Quaid's listening, Cool Hot Dog is what we call our friend Colin Hanks.

[Keith]

I don't think that's a reminder. I think that's breaking news. Hey, breaking news, Quaid's. If you see Colin Hanks on the street, call him Cool Hot Dog.

[Andy Samberg]

When you see Colin Hanks out on the street, guys, call him Cool Hot Dog.

[Yorm]

And just as a reminder, all our listeners yorm did have jav.

[Andy Samberg]

What makes you say that, Andy?

[Yorm]

You're, like, on coke right now.

[Andy Samberg]

You're on coke.

[Keith]

It's actually called Jol. I got some breadcrumbs in my pocket. I'm gonna give it to you and you'll turn it into duck poop.

[Yorm]

That's really good.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Yorm]

I have 26 minutes, one way or another.

[Keith]

No, no, no, no, you can keep going.

[Yorm]

Nope. I'll hang up on you guys.

[Keith]

No, you'll keep going.

[Yorm]

Nope. So let's talk about the short. Do we want to.

[Keith]

So you're trying to answer how far you'll go, but no, Your Moana is 26 more minutes long.

[Yorm]

No, my favorite moana song is is where you are. Everybody knows that.

[Keith]

Oh, yeah. We never asked you.

[Yorm]

Yeah, well, thanks for nothing. Fucking.

[Keith]

Wait. What's where you are? Is that the one I was singing?

[Yorm]

No, the opening. Consider the coconut.

[Keith]

Oh, yeah. Consider the tree. The island gives us what we need

[Yorm]

and no

[Keith]

right we stay. We could do the whole thing, brother. Jump on it, brother.

[Yorm]

All right, well, let's start talking about the short.

[Andy Samberg]

What was the impetus for the short? How did it come about? Was Peewee just available? What?

[Yorm]

This is why I wanted.

[Andy Samberg]

Because I came in late to this.

[Keith]

Shut up.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm telling you, I'm a co director on this, but I was a little late to the party.

[Yorm]

Yeah, well, we're going to get into that co director credit.

[Keith]

Can I start from even earlier, though? From where we were going, which is that we all saw the movie, even with the Terror of Large Marge. I loved it.

[Yorm]

Oh, yeah.

[Keith]

And I would watch it any chance I got. Once I Finally got a VHS copy of it, stolen, copied over, and I think you guys were the same. And then Pee Wee's Playhouse, the TV show, came out. And even though the movie was still the thing I loved more than anything, I really liked the TV show. And it was like this crazy gift that the character. It's like if Marty McFly, speaking of Michael J. Fox, had done a TV show right after where I was able to watch that character. More amazing to have the Pee Wee movie, which felt so special. All of a sudden, every. Was it on Saturday mornings, like every week for 30 minutes in my house. I just remember watching it every single chance I did. And my little brother, I don't remember if my little sister was old enough to really care, but Micah certainly cared, and we would watch it as much as we could. It felt so special.

[Yorm]

Full agree. I think we all three were all obsessed and.

[Keith]

And it changed the way you talked. You know those impressions that yhorm got actually do in the Weird Al biopic, Weird of Peewee. But as kids, every kid was doing it the way, I don't know, somebody would after, like, Austin Powers came out, how every kid was probably doing yeah, baby and all that.

[Andy Samberg]

Like, I assume you were queuing me up to do my impression.

[Keith]

I mean, honestly, what were the key things? People would always say, I know you

[Yorm]

were, but what am I?

[Keith]

Yeah, and just the laugh.

[Andy Samberg]

And I. I dressed up as him twice for two different Halloweens. I was obsessed, and I was in

[Yorm]

the last two years.

[Keith]

And it was, of course, there's the great document about Paul Rubens that came out on HBO last year. It's like a two part one that we all, of course, watched that kind of goes over all of it and shows, I mean, but it was truly a phenomenon in terms of, like, dolls and everything. Just, you know, I guess I'd say it was like the grogu of its time. Is that a good way to put it, Andy?

[Yorm]

That's not how I would have put it, no.

[Keith]

Oh, that's weird.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, to be around Paul, which is this was like, sort of the first time that we got to be around him. And just to hear him tell stories about, like, when they were shooting Pee Wee's Big Adventure, they were also simultaneously shooting Goonies, like, the soundstage, like, right across the way. And nobody was allowed on the Goonies stage except for Paul Rubens. He sort of had a pass to go and see, like, the Goonies stage. And, like. But just knowing that those two things that were so fucking incredible.

[Yorm]

God damn it. Yeah. Us as kids thinking about those two things shooting next to each other is so mind blowing.

[Andy Samberg]

But just having Paul tell us these stories was like, fucking hell, yes. Like, what is our lives? It's fantastic.

[Keith]

Do you guys remember, and I honestly don't. The first time we got to actually meet him and we're like, oh, my God. Because it would have just been a party or something random, right? Like, or an event.

[Andy Samberg]

Was this not the very first?

[Yorm]

I think this was the first time.

[Andy Samberg]

This is the first time I met him.

[Keith]

Oh, really?

[Yorm]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Keith]

So it was like out of nowhere, you guys just reached out. Was he doing the Broadway get to the voice note?

[Yorm]

I've been trying to tee it up here. I appreciate the backstory. We loved Paul. We loved Peewee.

[Keith]

I'd argue that I teed it up to here. And then you're like, I can take over from here. Politely.

[Andy Samberg]

I can tee it up if you guys want.

[Yorm]

You know what, Keev? Thank you. And I think now politely, I can take it over and do the thing I've been trying to do. Great.

[Andy Samberg]

With confidence.

[Yorm]

So we have a voice note from Kerri Bylek, who at that time was our publicist, and I think she and Molly Kawachi, who is now my publicist from idpr, were covering Paul and he was doing his comeback live show tour. And they were looking for ways to do promo and I think they thought

[Keith]

co starring Seth's brother Josh.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, that's right.

[Yorm]

Shout out to Joshi Myers.

[Andy Samberg]

It's a real tie in to the pods.

[Yorm]

But Carrie sent in a voice note that maybe will fill us in on how it started, because I think it came from them.

[Andy Samberg]

Here we go. Baseball.

[Josh Myers]

Hi. Okay, so I just spoke to Kawachi. We pitched it to you because he wanted to be in a short, and he was promoting the HBO version of the Broadway show that he had just done Pee Wee on Broadway. And he said to us, like, like, I'm down to do whatever they want. Like, I'm psyched to let it rip. And you guys got on a call. This is pre zoomed. You got on a call and we're like, yeah, like, what do you want to do? And he's like, yeah. And I think you guys were like, we definitely want to do the tequila dance. We want to do something with tequila. And he was psyched to just, like, be crazy and punch Anderson Cooper and all of it. So that's how I remember it is we definitely reached out to you guys and said, like, would you want to do something with Peewee? And you Were like, absolutely. And then you guys came up with the magic that you always do. I hope that's helpful. Okay, bye.

[Andy Samberg]

Very helpful.

[Michael Bryant]

Thank you.

[Yorm]

Awesome. Thank you, Carrie. Love you.

[Keith]

What a dream, though. If you could tell those kids watching it that one day, like, that's the kind of phone call you.

[Yorm]

You get an incoming call. Yeah, exactly.

[Andy Samberg]

Shocking.

[Keith]

Truly mind blowing.

[Yorm]

Yes.

[Keith]

Weird Al, Pe.

[Seth Meyers]

Herman.

[Keith]

I'm trying to think if there's even a third Tony Hawk.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm telling you, that's the trifecta.

[Keith]

Tony and maybe Tony. Those were for me as a K. Like, I guess there's. There's a little bit of Bay Area sport legend stuff, like the Joe Montana and Bash Brothers types.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, cuz you agree? But.

[Keith]

But in terms of. Yeah, because I also was from there. Wait, did you know that? But in terms of the things that I was into, there's nothing more than those. And the fact that, like, we've gotten to know all of them, the Tony Hawk, Weird Al and Peewee is not lost on us.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Yorm]

Yeah. Man. I am realizing, listening to her voice note that I don't know if it was before or after, but I did go maybe with you, Keev, to the show.

[Andy Samberg]

We all went to go see the Broadway show. I think, like, Keev, you were there,

[Yorm]

but it was in la.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, no, I went to the one in New York.

[Yorm]

Yeah, but I saw it in LA and I thought maybe I went with you, Keev. But I remember it not just because the show was awesome, but because the people that came to it, because we were SNL already, they were like, hey, yeah, come say hi after. And the, like, green room hangout area after, we were walking around and it was like, oh, shit, there's Eric Idle and there's Judy Tenuta and there's like, all. Just everywhere you looked were people that you were like, holy shit, these are all my favorite comedy people, just kind of chilling out and like, munching on celery.

[Andy Samberg]

Healthy. Nice. Important.

[Keith]

All right, well, we have it here. So this one has a bunch of music rights issues, so that's why it's really hard to find. Do we want to give Seth another moment so he can see it with us?

[Yorm]

Yeah, I can talk about just coming up with it.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Yorm]

Because you were. You were gone gonzo with your beautiful child. Yep. John Solomon stepped in to direct. Yorm also co directed. But was there more scattered is what your recollection was, Yorm?

[Keith]

I don't know.

[Andy Samberg]

That is my recollection.

[Michael Bryant]

Yeah.

[Yorm]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Because I was just chilling, I think just Cooling out.

[Yorm]

Yeah, like cooling on the corner on a hot summer's day.

[Andy Samberg]

Cool. In the gang. Me. Yeah, but just no. No gang. Like, you know, just me.

[Yorm]

Okay, cool. All right, so that's sus. And they reached out, as Carrie said, and I think the fastest version of it was just like. Like, what if I had, like, my fantasy camp version of meeting peewee and then we took it from there and started writing. Now, yhorm. Did you help write?

[Andy Samberg]

I don't remember exactly. Also, my brain is a sieve, so, you know, don't trust me. But I must have been, though, because I remember being so excited that when you spelled pterodactyl with a p pt, which I was just very pumped that when they sent us other scripts, I was like, oh, yeah, of course you do.

[Yorm]

Yes. I think probably we can just guess. 50. 50. Mike O' Brien helped. There's no way to know at this point.

[Keith]

Yeah, but don't want to go down that road again.

[Yorm]

You don't want to say he didn't.

[Keith]

He got mad. Oh, you know what we need? We need to hear about how the party went, but none of us got to go. The Quaids are dying to know how his maverick party went.

[Yorm]

Yeah, yeah. Maybe someone can text him.

[Keith]

Yeah, I'll text him now and see.

[Yorm]

So anyway, we started writing it up and just thinking of whatever we could do to make it be as fun as possible and hope that he was down with all of it.

[Michael Bryant]

Hi sis.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh yeah, here we go. Now we can start the pod.

[Seth Meyers]

Do you guys want to see Niagara Falls.

[Yorm]

Whoa.

[Keith]

Just ride out your hotel room. What a crazy place for a hotel.

[Yorm]

It looks like a painting.

[Josh Myers]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Yeah. Wow. It's just really right there.

[Andy Samberg]

Which side are you on? Are you on the Canadian or the American side?

[Seth Meyers]

I don't want to get in trouble with my home nation, but I'm on the Canadian side.

[Keith]

He thinks if he admits he's in Canada, Trump won't let him back in.

[Seth Meyers]

When does this air, though?

[Keith]

Can I make it back?

[Yorm]

You'll be back already? Yeah, you'll be back.

[Andy Samberg]

That guy's itching for an excuse to boot you.

[Josh Myers]

But.

[Seth Meyers]

But if you want to see me tonight, go to Seth Meyers.com for tickets. I probably won't be in time either.

[Keith]

No, this is. Well, I already promoted David Wayne's movie and Lin Manuel Miranda's movie, and they both come out tomorrow.

[Yorm]

Lynn Manuel Miranda's movie, Live Action Moana. Yeah.

[Keith]

Well, it's Tommy Kail.

[Andy Samberg]

See them both, guys.

[Keith]

What?

[Josh Myers]

Who?

[Keith]

It's Walt Disney's Andy. Who do you think has ownership?

[Yorm]

That's like being like. Make sure to check out Titanic. They're putting back in theater Celine Dion's movie.

[Keith]

It's a little Indy and they're going head to head. And Gail Daughtry's tracking higher.

[Seth Meyers]

Andy, you liked Hamilton, right? Andy, of course.

[Yorm]

Will Forte is so funny.

[Seth Meyers]

There's a new Lin Manuel movie that's coming out. If you loved Hamilton, you're going to.

[Yorm]

Oh, yeah, there's a new movie coming out from the hamilton guy. Oh, MacGruber, too.

[Keith]

No, you remember. Tick, tick, boom.

[Seth Meyers]

I will say Lin Manuel Miranda actually genuinely is a fan of Will Forte's Hamilton.

[Yorm]

Oh, wow.

[Ad Read Voice]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

A true story that he. Because Lin Manuel had heard tale of Will Forte's Hamilton speech at my wedding, and I remember I had to show it to him.

[Yorm]

It's very special. It's very so special. I ripped it off and asked him to do it at mine.

[Keith]

Well, it's all about the Hamiltons. That's what Yorm says.

[Seth Meyers]

That is what.

[Andy Samberg]

Wait, what? What did I say?

[Keith]

It's all about the Hamiltons.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, I do see that. Yeah. Hey, Seth, are you performing at Niagara Falls? When you perform, are you going to do, like, the whole barrel thing?

[Seth Meyers]

So the first half is the top, top half of the Falls.

[Michael Bryant]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Then you get in the barrel.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Ultimately, it's really loud there.

[Keith]

It's a terrible place to try. Stand up.

[Andy Samberg]

You should keep screaming. Can you not to the fall.

[Seth Meyers]

Very excited. I don't even want to tell Andy who's opening for me, because he's so sensitive about him.

[Yorm]

Well, it's obviously Brooks. Yeah, you don't go anywhere without him.

[Andy Samberg]

Your best friend.

[Seth Meyers]

Kind of my right hand guy.

[Yorm]

No, we get it.

[Seth Meyers]

And I his. All right. We watching. What have you guys been talking about? What have you guys been talking about?

[Andy Samberg]

Nothing.

[Keith]

Yeah, Very little.

[Seth Meyers]

It's great.

[Keith]

We really waited for you. We had 10 minutes of silence where we just decided to just sit and look at each other.

[Yorm]

Yes. And also, I have to leave in 11 minutes, and we haven't watched the short. Great. But you know what?

[Keith]

Yeah, he keeps threatening. He keeps threatening about leaving, but he's not gonna.

[Andy Samberg]

Said he's gonna walk.

[Yorm]

Why would I want to talk about the thing I worked for?

[Seth Meyers]

Because Andy's my bro and we're short on time. Jack Black,

[Keith]

Spelling deer.

[Yorm]

Seth, you're such a dear. I got that quibi clean and it felt so good.

[Seth Meyers]

This is the first time you threw down the speed in which you did the quibi, which I felt like it

[Yorm]

was less than 10 minutes. I did it today.

[Michael Bryant]

Wow.

[Seth Meyers]

That's what we call insult to injury.

[Yorm]

And I also got it clean yesterday, which I'm feeling really happy about. My queen life.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Yorm]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, I did the Mini in 1:36.

[Yorm]

Did you?

[Seth Meyers]

That's great.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, that's really good.

[Seth Meyers]

There was a good pitch. I know that. I'm just now burning more time before Andy has to go. 10 minutes, Keev. No, I mean Yorm is what I meant to say. Somebody sent in another good name for your van.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, the dwag. Yeah.

[Keith]

What?

[Seth Meyers]

Komodo Wagon.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, that's very good, Yorm.

[Yorm]

I did it in 28 seconds.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't want to hear about that. I was so psyched that you were just congratulatory and then you moved on.

[Yorm]

It's not a competition. You're better at other things.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm sorry. You 100% act like it's competition.

[Yorm]

Yes, I know. For me, it is a competition. I'm kind of like the Daniel Plainview of the New York Times games app.

[Seth Meyers]

The one thing a dude in the NFL after spiking a football has never said is it's not a competition.

[Yorm]

I just. I'm worried that no one asked me to do it, but I'll just do it.

[Keith]

There's a competition in me. There's a competition in me.

[Seth Meyers]

That's pretty good, Andy. Have you heard, by the way, the disappointment people had in the fact that Beetlejuice was said three times in a pod and you didn't break into Your Beetlejuice impression?

[Yorm]

I don't remember. When was it said?

[Seth Meyers]

About three pods.

[Keith]

Back when I was talking about the. I don't want to say it. If I said it right now, it'd be the third time. I don't want to bring him in here about the tree.

[Seth Meyers]

We're short on time as it is.

[Keith]

I just had sex.

[Yorm]

Oh, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

If there's anything I know about bj, it's that he will not respect Andy's timeline.

[Keith]

No. I might call him in right at the last minute when Andy wants to leave, so he doesn't.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, that might be a good burden, I think.

[Yorm]

When they're scattered over a long stretch of time, like, it maybe doesn't count. Like, what's. What time frame does it have to fit into to hear the name?

[Seth Meyers]

One pod.

[Yorm]

One pod.

[Keith]

If it's in the pod, it counts. And we're already at 2 right now. Shit, here he comes. Yhorm. Had a good substitute one, though.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah, I did.

[Andy Samberg]

Keith, thanks a lot for noticing my skills as an impressionist.

[Seth Meyers]

What was that impression of?

[Keith]

That was Pee Wee. Well, we're talking about Peewee.

[Andy Samberg]

Great.

[Keith]

We already have gone. We went down memory lane. We talked about when we all saw the movie and, like, watch the TV show and how big a deal it was to get to meet him. Etc. I was very jealous because I was not here, Seth.

[Ad Read Voice]

You're.

[Andy Samberg]

You're much older than us though, Seth, so you probably don't even remember the movie, right? We're just a different generation.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, I remember, like, from East Eden. That was a big movie.

[Yorm]

But Yorm. Aren't you like 55?

[Andy Samberg]

I'm pushing 50. Be next year, dog.

[Seth Meyers]

My brother. I don't know if you guys mentioned because he sent photos in backstage at this short because Josh was in the show.

[Yorm]

Yeah, we were. Keev remembered. He's a good Josh supporter.

[Seth Meyers]

He sent in some pictures and he also sent in a voice note for us. So.

[Keith]

Okay, so I'll just listen to him without Andy, the main person who worked on this thing, because he just wants to leave.

[Yorm]

Yeah, I don't want to. I have to take my child so that my bride can pick up my other child.

[Seth Meyers]

Gotcha.

[Keith]

All right, well, I'm about to hit play because we won't be able to stop this or else you won't get through it. Here we go.

[Ad Read Voice]

Do it.

[Yorm]

Hey, can I have a beer, please? So, huge cheer for the SNL digital Sort logo. Let's start there.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, great.

[Keith]

Yeah, that's nice.

[Yorm]

I know we're Pretty deep into the pod, but even this far in, it felt good.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, they're ready for it. And they don't even know Pee Wee's about to show up.

[Yorm]

Also, first time I've ever said, can I get a beer at a bar?

[Seth Meyers]

Within five seconds of entering the bar.

[Yorm]

Yeah, like, less believable than me smoking a cigarette on camera. Just.

[Seth Meyers]

Just a frog walking into a bar. Not breaking strides, sitting down. Within five second seconds, you've ordered a beer.

[Yorm]

Like I thought I was on cheers. You know what I mean?

[Seth Meyers]

Can I get a beer? You frequent bars where there's only one kind of beer, right?

[Keith]

Yeah, it's a Coors banquet beer on tap. We know what he's having.

[Yorm]

We all know that's what I'm getting.

[Andy Samberg]

Should have been Molson.

[Yorm]

All right, let's jump in for that applause break for Pee Wee. Now, different than the one for the digital short logo, which is very generic, but people still recognize it as our work.

[Keith]

He'll hear the difference in this applause.

[Yorm]

Excuse me.

[Andy Samberg]

Time for you to get a watch. Kinky, Herman.

[Yorm]

Awesome.

[Ad Read Voice]

Oh, my gosh.

[Yorm]

I'm such a big fan. I know you are, but what am I?

[Josh Myers]

Yes.

[Ad Read Voice]

Oh, God.

[Yorm]

Hey, you gotta let me buy you a drink. Well, I usually just stick with milk,

[Andy Samberg]

but I guess just this once.

[Seth Meyers]

Awesome.

[Yorm]

Excuse me.

[Seth Meyers]

Bartender, shots. Cheers.

[Yorm]

Drinks. Drinks.

[Ad Read Voice]

Drinks.

[Yorm]

Drinks.

[Josh Myers]

Drinks.

[Keith]

Two more, please. Drinks.

[Yorm]

Two more.

[Keith]

Two more.

[Andy Samberg]

I like him holding his nose to do the first shot.

[Yorm]

Grab the bull.

[Keith]

Tequila. So for those at home not watching on video, do you. You want to just fill them in a little bit? Of what?

[Yorm]

Yeah, we're just getting trashed. It's like. Yeah.

[Keith]

And then they do the famous Peewee Tequila dance. Both where they stand on the bar and do the funny little sort of

[Yorm]

a reasonably pleasant getting drunk montage. Yeah, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Mechanical bowl.

[Keith]

Got a little close ups of their feet.

[Yorm]

Nostalgia bait. Yeah.

[Keith]

You're just living a childhood dream of doing the Tequila dance with Peewee.

[Yorm]

That's right.

[Andy Samberg]

This is the best night.

[Keith]

Must be very cold.

[Ad Read Voice]

Cold.

[Keith]

Same.

[Yorm]

Hey, look, it's Anderson Cooper.

[Michael Bryant]

Yes.

[Yorm]

So one of my memories is it was like 300 degrees below zero.

[Seth Meyers]

This is like we're. We're still in the Aon. There's. It's the same cold snap.

[Yorm]

We were not long after that when we shot this with Anderson Cooper, who very nicely agreed to be in it and have what happens happen. We were all out there very late at night because that's when we were all free and we were hiding in a van with the heat just blasting at Full blast, shivering in, like, 10 jackets. And then they'd be like, okay, cameras are set. Go, go, go. And we'd run out, do a take, and then run straight back into the van. And that's. It was cold.

[Andy Samberg]

I gotta say, Anderson looks better without earmuffs, though, so I think it was worth it.

[Yorm]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm trying to think if I ever see Anderson wearing earmuffs, probably during the CNN New Year's Eve thing. He probably has to because, you know.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

That many hours, no hot van to pop into.

[Yorm]

I don't remember, but I feel like I probably was like, I can't wear earmuffs. Everyone will think I'm my character from Just Had Sex.

[Seth Meyers]

Right.

[Ad Read Voice]

Of course.

[Seth Meyers]

That's. Everybody thought you would feel like everybody in the sketch would have to congratulate you on having just had sex.

[Yorm]

Exactly. And that would just distract from Pee Wee, I think.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Hey, Anderson.

[Yorm]

Hey, Andy. How's it going?

[Keith]

Hey, can I ask you a question?

[Yorm]

Do you know Barbara Walters?

[Andy Samberg]

Sure.

[Yorm]

You guys ever hook up, or is it a joke?

[Keith]

Oh, Andy said, here's a headline.

[Yorm]

Prank.

[Keith]

So the prank was that Peewee hits him with a chair.

[Yorm]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Prank.

[Seth Meyers]

This seems to be the problem.

[Andy Samberg]

Ossifer.

[Yorm]

You boys been drinking tonight?

[Andy Samberg]

Well, I'm gonna have to give you

[Keith]

a Breathalyzer test when I say blood.

[Yorm]

I had one drink.

[Keith]

Whatever.

[Yorm]

Here's a headlight.

[Keith]

I like this casting of this officer.

[Seth Meyers]

Where did you.

[Keith]

Do you guys remember how you cast him? He's, like, perfectly central casting, like, from a peewee. Like a friendly neighborhood officer. But he's very good.

[Andy Samberg]

He's a real police officer. What we just found. No, I'm just kidding.

[Keith]

He's great.

[Seth Meyers]

I will tell you, in sketch comedy, New York City cops rarely have partners to sort of help with these moments.

[Keith]

Yes, they have to be alone.

[Yorm]

That was the original lyrics in the stroke song. New York City cops, they don't have partners in sketches.

[Keith]

Andy did the breathalyzer and, like, blew, like, a flamethrower out of his mouth and lit the breathalyzer on fire. And then here comes Peewee with another chair.

[Yorm]

Here's a headline again. Here's a headline.

[Keith]

Yeah, same. Same line.

[Seth Meyers]

I like the way Pee Wee runs.

[Andy Samberg]

He also says ossifer, which is pretty great.

[Yorm]

Hey, what are you guys doing here?

[Andy Samberg]

This is an intervention, Andy. What's the big problem? He's just trying to have.

[Keith]

He's not the only one with the problem.

[Andy Samberg]

Pee Wee.

[Keith]

Your friends are here too, Jerry. Oh, Pee Wee, no.

[Michael Bryant]

You're a bad influence on Each other.

[Yorm]

We are not.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh really? Hey Anderson, you almost hit me in the eye. Do you know what would happen if I lost these eyes? They're a national.

[Yorm]

They are.

[Andy Samberg]

You'd be blind. That'd be terrible. You guys can't hang out together anymore. Why don't you take a moment, say goodbye.

[Michael Bryant]

Okay.

[Keith]

Goodbye, Andy. It was fun while it lasted.

[Andy Samberg]

And even though you're a bad influence,

[Keith]

you're a great friend.

[Yorm]

I know you are, but what am I?

[Keith]

Sort of the bitch stole my my life. Some good little hunting is that celebrate by doing some sh sh, sh, sh sh.

[Andy Samberg]

Get the.

[Keith]

Good last joke there?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, great joke on Cherry. I. I'm pretty sure Josh is definitely Cony and I think he's also the dinosaur.

[Andy Samberg]

Sorry.

[Seth Meyers]

Based on identity to Terry.

[Andy Samberg]

I knew he was Conky, but.

[Seth Meyers]

And that's Lexi Friedel is the voice of Cherry Andy.

[Keith]

Andy didn't even turn off anything. He just left.

[Seth Meyers]

He hard outed us. Oh, there he is. He just popped up in the background. But he still hasn't done.

[Keith]

That's such a good heart out to just walk away from the zoom but keep it running on an empty room.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Keith]

The last joke that we're saying was good for people that can't see it is Anderson Cooper sits down on Cherry and Cherry's like get the fuck out of me.

[Seth Meyers]

Which is great.

[Andy Samberg]

I mean peewee cursing also, you know, it's a little.

[Keith]

It's a little soft and then with little sparks of good jokes and then you're getting a lot on just the nostalgia of seeing it. And Paul looks great as Pee Wee still. And the fun of just seeing the two of them together.

[Andy Samberg]

Honestly, just. Just being in the same room with fucking Cherry and Conkey. And I mean I know Josh got to do it all the time but like I mean it's. It was thrilling even just watching it.

[Keith]

The thrill of them showing up is like it's them.

[Seth Meyers]

It also was such a cool time that Pee Wee was in New York City on Broadway. Was just awesome.

[Andy Samberg]

Such a good show.

[Seth Meyers]

The coldest I've ever felt in a theater.

[Andy Samberg]

And I remember that's right, it was super fucking cold.

[Seth Meyers]

And the reason was Paul's like, yeah, I have to wear makeup to make myself look like a 13 year old boy. He's like, if it's like. If it gets like a degree over 66 like my face just starts to melt off. But it was such a great show. And those know that last Pee Wee movie that came out within the last 10 years with Joe, man, that Judd

[Keith]

produced was really fun.

[Seth Meyers]

Really fun.

[Keith]

Andy, we know you have to go. Any last thoughts on it?

[Yorm]

Just that I wanted to talk about it way more and just how much I loved Paul.

[Keith]

And we can pick back up.

[Michael Bryant]

Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice.

[Andy Samberg]

Hey, yeah, I gotta go, everybody.

[Yorm]

Parenting call. Sometimes you just don't have the time. You need more me to do that. I gotta get married.

[Keith]

And you're gonna talk more about Peewee later.

[Ad Read Voice]

Yeah.

[Yorm]

Oh, I can't wait to talk more about my comrade in arms, Mr. Peewee Irvin there.

[Andy Samberg]

Y sandworm.

[Seth Meyers]

Real quick. My last thing, Andy, because I want you to hear the comment that equate left was they tried to watch Spider Noir and they were so bummed because I guess Digman got in there and did all the adr.

[Yorm]

Oh, my God. There's a scourge on the city.

[Andy Samberg]

Love you, dawg.

[Yorm]

Love you guys. Talk soon.

[Seth Meyers]

Love you. So my brother did this Broadway show with Paul Reubens and got to be very dear friends with Paul. And I asked my brother if he had any memories he would be willing to share on the pod about his dearly departed friend. That's why I have that voice note now that I have yet to hear.

[Michael Bryant]

What's up, fellas? Quick story about Paul Rubens. He had started doing cameo, and he really took it very seriously. He wasn't one of these celebrities who was just ripping off five cameos from the driver's seat of his car. He would carve out a day every week when he would do a certain number of them. And I feel like he would limit himself to how many he could do because he really wanted to do a good job. Paul Rubens didn't half ass anything. And he also was very big on birthdays. Like, he would always call me on my birthday and he would have the same jokes. You'd answer, and he would say, what's wrong? And you'd say, nothing. And he'd say, I don't know. Something's different. Something's different about you.

[Andy Samberg]

You.

[Michael Bryant]

You sound older. And he would always, always get me. But he was consistent with his. His little sort of jokes like that. But one birthday, he sent me a video message that was clearly where he sent his cameos from. But it was so heartfelt and so sincere. And it was about our friendship. And it was one of those things of like saying to someone all the things that you want to say while you still can. And it was so touching and it is so cherished to me that I have this video and then you know, he passes away, and there was a memorial service, really a celebration of life for him, and we went to that. And you realize that. That almost everyone got one of those messages from him. Conan o' Brien talked about how he got one. David Arquette got one. If you were in Paul Rubin's circle of friends, you got one of these messages that you felt like was very unique to you. And I just watched mine again this morning, and it's pretty general. I still choose to think that all of the things he's saying are specific to me and our relationship. I don't know if that makes sense. That something can be general and also specific to you. Probably doesn't make sense, but a lot of what Paul Rubens did and created doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's what was so great about it. But anyhow, Quaid, Army,

[Keith]

Righteous Kill. Thanks for the blast.

[Andy Samberg]

I will also say that I also got one of those video messages, and it was. It's. It's truly my. My pride and joy.

[Keith]

But he says your name. It's not the same video being sent to everybody.

[Andy Samberg]

No, no, no, no.

[Keith]

And.

[Andy Samberg]

And he says a super nice things of just how talented he thought I was and how. It's just. It felt like when you heard about Mr. Rogers writing back to, like, every fan. He was like the super out there. Artsy, quirky, but he had that Mr. Rogers thing of, like, he cared. He cared about people in a way that, like, is a crazy rarity in this world. And. And, like. And anybody who knew him would miss him.

[Keith]

I didn't even know him very well. I only met him a couple times because I wasn't there for the short. So I didn't have that, like, hardcore bonding for two days that you guys did. And he still would text all the birthday goof off texts on my birthday.

[Andy Samberg]

So nice.

[Keith]

And I did not get a video, but I wouldn't have expected to, but I went to some theater. When he read, there was like, a interesting, like, variety show thing he was doing, you know, that he helped support.

[Andy Samberg]

And he's an incredible, incredible guy.

[Keith]

Yeah. I went to that memorial service that Josh was at. It was amazing just to be in the room with all the amazing people who were there giving their speeches and their stories about him.

[Andy Samberg]

I watched it from a family road trip. But then I remember Judd Apo saying how the exact same story of being like, oh, wait a minute, he sent this to everybody. It didn't lessen how important it was.

[Seth Meyers]

There's something so incredibly special, too about somebody who I think, in a way, way more than the people around him knew was nearing the end of his own life and took the time to give this final message to all the people close to him. I find a lot of similarities between Pee Wee and Weird Al, who is another person who I feel like, you know, it's very similar where he lands on the timeline of influence for people like us. And then when you meet him, he

[Keith]

actually even came up before you got on here where we were talking about, like, when we were kids, it was Weird Al, Peewee and Tony Hawk.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Keith]

And the fact that we've gotten to meet and know all of them is crazy.

[Andy Samberg]

But you're right, Seth. Like, they're just incredibly kind people. I mean, Weird Al was the same thing. And like, I don't want to cry or anything, but, like. But Weird Al came and visited me when I was in a hospital bed. And it was just like, you know, you're like, who does this? Like, he doesn't need to do that. He's just.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, you know, also the authenticity of these people when you meet them and you realize, like, oh, the way they're good is just. You can't put it on.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

It's a terrible transition to a comment that somebody said they can't wait for these Weird Al version of I just had sex.

[Andy Samberg]

I think that was a transition.

[Seth Meyers]

I just had lunch by the Thousand island featuring bacon. Okay, let's see. Everybody wanted to shout out the Gaoolian craftsmanship to Chun's opening last week.

[Keith]

Oh, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Really good Gaolian craftsmanship.

[Keith]

He really brought it, man.

[Seth Meyers]

He really brought it. It was great. Although there's a couple people pointed out that Keev does doesn't gatekeep stronts, but he does gatekeep high end Los Angeles clothing stores.

[Keith]

Yeah, it's just. I don't want everyone to look exactly like me, you know, there's not that many items in there.

[Andy Samberg]

I think that that makes more sense. You do.

[Seth Meyers]

And again, the amount that you fall into Dan Flash Cadence when you talk about it is really great. I don't want everyone to have the same shirts.

[Michael Bryant]

Look.

[Keith]

You see a bunch of guys who look just like me going in there. You go in there and Yorm came to town. He immediately bought some stuff. But he lives on the other coast. It felt okay. But I also. I'm in a pickle, guys, because I do need them to stay in business. So, I mean, by the way, me

[Andy Samberg]

and Keith do do that often because we like to dress very similarly. And then we're like, this is great. We live on different coasts. It's fine.

[Seth Meyers]

Also, I just want to say a lot of shout outs for Daniel, the moderator for last week's episode. Everybody thought he did a great job at the Pop Star screening.

[Andy Samberg]

He's a talented guy.

[Keith]

He's a smart guy, dude.

[Seth Meyers]

The Jonas Brothers have a new podcast, and I was a guest on their podcast. And they talked at length, Nick especially about how much they loved Pop Star. And that was very sweet.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, that was very.

[Keith]

I always like those kids.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm sorry that I pointed out again that the movie did not do gangbusters at the box office.

[Ad Read Voice]

Waited.

[Keith]

No, it's important because at. You're shaming. You're shaming the audience at this point.

[Seth Meyers]

Exactly. Right. I'm not shaming.

[Keith]

When you talk about it right after it happened, you're.

[Seth Meyers]

You're shaming you.

[Keith]

Yeah. And it feels sad, but someone's talking about how great it was 10 years later. Then you're. And you know what? Shame on everybody. That's fine.

[Seth Meyers]

It's a bummer. He's gonna miss this. But somebody wrote, Keev is the king of the pod. Yhorm is the ace in the hole. Seth is the jack of all trades. Andy is the queen of the bee. Somebody wrote that Akon performed Just Had Sex when he opened for T Pain at Red Rocks.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, wow.

[Keith]

That's a fun show. Akon and T Pain.

[Seth Meyers]

But, like, does T Pain then feel the need to do I'm on a Boat if Akon opens.

[Keith]

Yeah. I wonder if he did a chorus of it or not.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, that's what I was gonna say. I just ran into a who told me that he went to a T Pain concert, and he did I'm on a Boat, which is pretty rad.

[Michael Bryant]

Great.

[Seth Meyers]

Is it true that Lonely island appeared on the second Deltron album?

[Andy Samberg]

It is true. And we didn't do as good of a job as we wanted to, but it was. It was okay.

[Seth Meyers]

It was me and Quaid asked, how did that come to pass?

[Andy Samberg]

Dan the Automator hit us up about it. Like, Keeb, do you remember we met

[Seth Meyers]

Dan, in what part of your body would you say they hit you?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, in the Titus.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Josh Myers]

Okay.

[Andy Samberg]

Before it was. It is good. Yeah. No, Dan the Automator, I do not remember.

[Keith]

Is it through Newmark? Is it we.

[Andy Samberg]

We met him. We met him at Edgar Wright's premiere of Scott Pilgrim. And he was DJing, and I was like, oh, it's Dan the Automator. And I went up and we exchanged numbers and stuff, but I think that that was.

[Keith]

That's got to be it.

[Andy Samberg]

I don't know.

[Keith]

That's got to be it. And I was busy and I don't remember why. And so you and Andy did that without me, which was fun.

[Andy Samberg]

It was just a little interstitial thing where we're playing two old guys, space old guys, and then we do a little free rap. And Andy does a pretty decent little space rap. I don't know. It's. It wasn't as good as there was. There was one from the first album that we were very nervous because we thought it was great. And it was Paul Bar. Barman, I think, did like a thing on their first album that we were like, oh, there's no way we're topping this. And we didn't.

[Seth Meyers]

There you go.

[Andy Samberg]

And if you guys remember, Paul Barman had that hit. I love it when you call me Paul Barman.

[Seth Meyers]

A lot of love for the Quumplet, which is, I think, what the Quaids are calling your kids now. Keith.

[Keith]

Oh, the Quumplings.

[Andy Samberg]

Great. Wow, that's great.

[Keith]

I've got a voice note from Mike o'. Brien.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, so I will just tell you. I'm hoping this is what I heard that made me reach out to o'. Brien. Why did you reach out, Keith?

[Keith]

Oh, we were just in the beginning of the pod thinking, what are we gonna do before Seth gets here? And I just remembered, like, oh, shit, we missed the Maverick Party. I wonder how it was. That's it.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, so I was driving with Brooks, and Brooks was like, did you hear about the Maverick Party? And I said, no. And he said, o' Brien got hired. A Tom Cruise lookalike.

[Keith]

Ah, good.

[Seth Meyers]

So that was why I reached out.

[Keith]

Well, I wonder if we needed more a voice note from Brooks or other attendees telling us about the party. More reliable.

[Andy Samberg]

I think this is going to be good.

[Keith]

Let's hear what he has to say about his own party.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, I think o' Brien's going to give it to us straight.

[Keith]

All right, here we go. Hey.

[Seth Meyers]

So the Maverick Party was very fun.

[Andy Samberg]

We had the Tom Cruise lookalike, and one of the first things he yelled

[Seth Meyers]

when he walked in the party was, hey, where's Goose?

[Andy Samberg]

And I wondered if it's part of the premise of hiring him that you

[Seth Meyers]

have to break the news to him.

[Keith]

I don't know.

[Seth Meyers]

Then I ended up talking to him most of the night, one on one, because people were not trying to do that. And it was very confusing because he'd

[Andy Samberg]

be Tom Cruise one second and then himself the next. So one on one, he would make a joke with me about how Nicole Kidman took half his money and then

[Seth Meyers]

he stop and then go, so how many people here work for snl?

[Andy Samberg]

There was also a long pause, and he turned to me and said, what

[Seth Meyers]

do you think of Two and a Half Men? Because I thought the writing was just fantastic. And then the next day, he texted me, great party, and let me know if any of those people need masonry work. Great. And it turns out someone does, so someone's gonna hire him. That's great.

[Keith]

That could all have been in character as Tom Cruise, just not as Maverick.

[Seth Meyers]

Right. Like, maybe Tom Cruise thought. No, sorry. Right. Did Maverick think the writing on Two and a Half Men was really good?

[Andy Samberg]

That could go wrong.

[Keith]

Or did Tom Cruise. Or did the actual actor here think it? But I think he was just as Tom Cruise the whole time, not Maverick the whole time. Right. And Tom Cruise loves Two and a Half Men, wants to talk about his divorce to Nicole Kidman.

[Andy Samberg]

That's plausible.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, right.

[Keith]

He's curious about SNL and how many people they worked.

[Seth Meyers]

Right. So if he's making a Nicole Kidman joke, it's Tom Cruise dressed up like his movie character, Maverick.

[Keith]

Yeah. He's not a Maverick impersonator. He's a Tom Cruise impersonator who agreed

[Seth Meyers]

in order to make the party better, agreed to come dressed in his Maverick

[Andy Samberg]

clothes, but forgot that goose was dead.

[Seth Meyers]

It's interesting that Tom Cruise would like Two and a Half Men because it stars Charlie Sheen, who, of course, basically parodied Top Gun in the movie Hotshots.

[Keith]

Right.

[Andy Samberg]

That's where I was wanting to.

[Keith]

Charlie Sheen famously always had been in talks with Oliver Stone about Born up the Fourth, because, of course, they had made Wall street together.

[Seth Meyers]

Platoon and Platoon.

[Keith]

So they had made two huge hits. Platoon, it's like a. It's a. Oh, I'm saying it wrong.

[Andy Samberg]

It's a Platoon spin off, and they

[Keith]

made those movies, and then the third was going to be that, and then Tom Cruise took it. And so Tom Cruise has been trying to go around talking about Two Half Men to kind of make it up to Charlie for the last 20, 20, 30 years.

[Seth Meyers]

I see.

[Keith]

So he goes around being like, hey, you seen two enough, man. I really thought that was a very good show because he's trying to, like, throw.

[Seth Meyers]

Or is he kind of undercutting Charlie by, like, just giving credit to the writing?

[Keith]

Oh, that's true. He's like, really good writing.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, the writing. Let's just say in anyone's hands, the writing is good. Yeah, it doesn't matter.

[Keith]

It's a long, long road of trying to pay him back.

[Andy Samberg]

And he does good brain brickwork too, apparently.

[Keith]

Yeah, masonry. All right, well, Andy did say that he had, you know, more Pee Wee to talk about, so we should hit him up first thing. Next episode. Just for a little more Pee Wee recap because it certainly deserves our full attention. And we loved Paul Rubens. And thank you to Michael Bryant for that voice note. And what else you got, Seth?

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, good times all around. And thank you, by the way, Keev, for your wonderful episode last week.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, yeah, it was really good. Thanks for the shout out.

[Seth Meyers]

Really fun Q and A.

[Keith]

It was my pleasure. I don't know if it's the best podcast cuz you know, when you're in a room and everybody's people really liked it.

[Seth Meyers]

There was some good. People were happy.

[Andy Samberg]

I thought it was great. I thought it was really good.

[Seth Meyers]

You know, a couple people were hip to the fact that we were repurposing other material.

[Keith]

Yeah. It's fourth of July weekend. Yeah. And by the way, guys, that's not just about us. That's about the kind people who work for the company that put these together.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, that's.

[Keith]

And it's. And they needed to have their holiday weekend and not have to like edit a whole pod together.

[Seth Meyers]

Actually, they. It was by their request. Quest, now that I'm thinking about it.

[Keith]

Yeah, exactly.

[Seth Meyers]

Didn't want the four of us to get together. That would have been an affront to them.

[Keith]

And wouldn't it be rude that we dump a big sloppy pot on them right at the holiday weekends rolling in and then we're off with our families and they're in a dark little editing room trying to fix our shitty audio.

[Seth Meyers]

Just a windowless box.

[Andy Samberg]

I just didn't want to compete with my man Trump's big festivities, so I didn't want to take away from that.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, that was it. You didn't want to Mess with America 250.

[Andy Samberg]

I've really hit this a lot this episode. But you know What? Shout out America 250 years. Record 250.

[Seth Meyers]

Did it, baby.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Keith]

No one thought they'd make it. No one thought they'd make it that far.

[Yorm]

You did it, baby.

[Keith]

Why are you doing three stand up nights in a row, Seth? That seems a little thirsty.

[Seth Meyers]

Don't you think that was a mistake? You know, it's so funny in February, you're like, oh, I shouldn't just take all of July off I should go do shows. And then the next thing you know are in poorly routed as well. I'm gonna be in Niagara Falls and then I'm going to Foxwoods in Connecticut and then I'm going to Windsor, Ontario, which is back right where I started.

[Andy Samberg]

It would be good if you did the Canuck side first and then the American side to see which like popped off more on Niagara Falls.

[Seth Meyers]

Right. And just like the whole second night be like, well, that one works across the border. Guess they're not as picky across the border.

[Keith]

It's gonna be a different vibe because they didn' just experience America. 250.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, that's true.

[Andy Samberg]

Nothing to celebrate.

[Seth Meyers]

Nothing to celebrate. It's a very down vibes.

[Keith]

They're like, yeah, they're like, oh, it's just a.

[Seth Meyers]

They were hoping they. They were going to make it first.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Keith]

What?

[Andy Samberg]

Where are they at?

[Seth Meyers]

I have no idea. How old is Canada? It could be anywhere. Gosh, I'm. I'm kind of a history.

[Andy Samberg]

Don't look it up. Just tell us.

[Keith]

700. 700. Oh, the Canada 700's coming up.

[Seth Meyers]

How old is Canada? This is fun.

[Keith]

Canada is 159 years years old.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. So they're little.

[Andy Samberg]

They're good.

[Keith]

They'll catch up eventually.

[Andy Samberg]

Just kidding. Just kidding. Shadow Canada.

[Seth Meyers]

It could be a little chafed.

[Keith]

What was the name of the beer we would drink? Not Molson when we were actually in Canada?

[Seth Meyers]

Labats.

[Keith]

No, it was one that they don't have in the States.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh.

[Keith]

It was almost like cocaine. Called cocaine.

[Seth Meyers]

Remember?

[Keith]

It's like cocaine.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But was it with a K?

[Seth Meyers]

Kill Kenny.

[Yorm]

I don't know.

[Keith]

It's similar to cocaine. That's all I remember. Kokanee. K O K A N E E. It's a Pilsner style lager.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, we drank a lot of it.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, I love you.

[Andy Samberg]

Love you too. Later, Arnold.

[Keith]

Later, Quaid.

[Andy Samberg]

Later, Ghost Face. Later, Quaid.

[Keith]
