Episode Overview

This episode centers on the SNL Digital Short "Stumblin'," featuring Paul Rudd and a surprise cameo by Paul McCartney. The crew—Seth Meyers and The Lonely Island—relive the making of the short, sharing behind-the-scenes stories about the creative process, set mishaps (including Rudd's bloody elevator accident), McCartney's now-legendary tiny harmonica, and the energy-sapping marathon shoots required to pull it all together. Along the way, they bounce through favorite old SNL stories, inside jokes (the infamous "quumping", "quaid" nicknames, "Ga'Hoolian craftsmanship"), and their trademark mixture of earnest SNL geekdom and irreverent self-mockery.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Podcast Banter & SNL Bonds

(00:01–04:54)

• The episode opens with playful jabs about “hard outs,” busy schedules, and Andy’s pattern of being last in, first out.
• Seth accuses Andy of using the podcast as a haven during lonely movie shoots, leading to jokes about the soul-draining monotony of movie sets and the reality that “movies are not fun to make, but they’re fun to watch.”
• They swap stories about visiting sets—Akiva: “You get there and within 10 minutes you’re like, oh, right. I’m just at somebody’s work and it’s really boring.” (01:54)
• Andy: “You never have enough money, no matter how much money you have. And you're always racing against time.” (02:04)

2. Running Gags: Movie Titles with Colons

(05:01–14:24)

• Comedy riff on needlessly elaborate or redundant movie titles (e.g., “Dragon Wars: D-War”, “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping”, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”).
• Memorable moment:
  Seth: “If you’re ever, for example, at a charity auction and one of the items is stop by set for a movie... I don’t care how good a cause it is, you’re just throwing that money away.” (02:49)
• Multiple colon jokes, notably a fake pitch for a "MacGruber 2: Hawaiian Gold: The Search for Hawaiian Gold".

3. SNL Cleanups, Inside Jokes, and References

(14:27–23:25)

• The cast gleefully returns to internal running jokes, SNL lore, and corrections from previous episodes.
• Notable: “Horseplay” and Andy’s Robert Smith impression; discussion of NBC's obsessive song-clearing policies and how certain SNL sketches never make it to reruns because of music rights.
• Seth: “Multiple people said, 'Oh my God, I’ve seen that episode on Peacock before. And at Good Nights, Andy’s dressed like Robert Smith from the Cure with no context.” (14:10)

4. The Short: "Stumblin'"—Genesis and Writing

(25:09–28:14)

• Andy recalls having the “wrong” lyric for “9 to 5” in his notes app, transforming “stumble out of bed” into an entire bit.
• Andy: “It was another just, like, too many times joke of like, what if instead of being the song 9 to 5, it was just... she just kept stumbling everywhere and all the things she did.” (25:44)
• Akiva shares that during the making of "Stumblin'" his wife was 9 months pregnant; he only came in toward the end of production.

5. Casting Paul Rudd and Kristen Wiig

(28:14–31:14)

• Rudd’s legendary physical comedy makes him perfect for a stumble-centric sketch.
• Kristen Wiig at first modestly denies her Dolly Parton impression, but nails it in one take—and delivers the entire "9 to 5" vocal for the sketch.
• Andy: "He's so good at doing physical performance that is both sarcastic and grounded at the same time. You know what I mean?" (28:23)

6. Paul McCartney’s Iconic Cameo

(31:52–33:13, interspersed through 36:33)

• McCartney was the musical guest that week. In "Stumblin'," he appears to sing a snippet imitating Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away”—with the wrong lyrics (“walking in slow motion”)—and performs his now-infamous tiny harmonica bit.
• Akiva was specifically called in by Lorne Michaels to direct McCartney’s scenes.
• Andy: "He was really into his tiny harmonica at this time... You would watch this short, thinking it's our bit that we made him do, but it was his bit that he was doing everywhere." (33:05)
• John Solomon (via voice memo): “Lauren said, ‘Oh, you’re going to be filming with Paul McCartney. Can you go say hello to him?’... He turned around and said ‘cashew,’ and held out a tub of cashews to me.” (45:04)

7. Behind-the-Scenes Stories and On-Set Mayhem

(36:24–42:16; 44:53–50:19)

• Andy recounts that Rudd gashed his hand badly on an elevator during the very first take of the shoot—blood everywhere, but Rudd powered through, not wanting to “trouble anyone with it.”
• Andy: “First take, stumble past the elevator... he sliced his hand open on the metal siding... poured blood down his arm.” (37:49)
• The entire shoot lasted nearly 24 hours, leaving the crew exhausted and literally curled up sleeping in corners by morning.

8. Technical Notes & The Final Short

• Due to time constraints, the short’s final “gauntlet” of gags (hobo, painter, one-man band, etc.) was shot all in a single uninterrupted take, resulting in some lightly “idling” moments, which Andy critiques.
• Seth: “It is funny—when you realize, like, it doesn’t really matter what you’re shooting, like, the stakes are the highest.” (43:06)

9. The Crew’s Critique of "Stumblin'"

(52:11–53:15)

• “Stumblin'” is not their favorite: strong pieces (Wiig’s impression, McCartney’s cameo, Rudd’s energy), but “it just doesn’t quite click together.”
• Andy: "Here's what it's lacking: hard laughs. Yeah, but sometimes you gotta just make something... you don't go on 'cause you're ready—you go on 'cause it's 11:30." (52:59/53:10)
• Seth: "A good message is how hard this shit is. Because you have Paul McCartney—genuinely great moment. You have Wiig doing an insanely great Dolly Parton. You and Rudd are great... and just something just doesn't quite click together." (52:47)

10. Listener Engagement & Life Updates

(55:00–59:59)

• They chat about Andy’s spelling bee prowess, give a plug for Seth’s brother-in-law’s documentary, and recount a joyride through NYC in Jorma’s delightfully hideous “K-truck”—leading to a string of crowd-sourced possible names for the dragon-themed van.
• The episode closes with sincere friendship, lots of “love you’s,” and light teasing about podcasting process, inside vocabulary, and SNL memories.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Andy (Reflecting on Movie Sets): “Everyone’s working so hard and so, so stressed out. And you never have enough money, no matter how much money you have. And you’re always racing against time.” (02:04)
• Akiva (On the stakes at SNL): “We shot for, like, 24 hours straight to get a table done.” (44:46)
• On McCartney's Harmonicas:
  Andy: “You would watch this short, thinking it’s our bit that we made him do, but it was his bit that he was doing everywhere.” (33:05)
• Paul Rudd (Voice Memo): “I just remember Paul [McCartney] telling us all these great stories about John and the Beatles and filming Hard Day’s Night... we both kind of wordlessly acknowledged how frickin' bonkers that was.” (48:33)

Tone & Language

The tone is informal, improvisational, self-deprecating, and packed with rapid-fire references, inside jokes ("Quaids," "quump", "doing yourself a flavor"), and affectionate ribbing. The show dances nimbly between SNL nerding, personal reminiscences, real creative-process talk, and loving mockery of how the business and their own projects work—or don’t.

---

Summary

If you haven't listened:
This episode is a quintessential hangout with The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers, peeking behind the curtain of one of their more niche SNL Digital Shorts, "Stumblin’." It’s marked by fond, absurd memories—the 24-hour, blood-soaked shoot; Paul McCartney’s tiny harmonica; comical misunderstandings of classic pop lyrics; and the magic that comes from seasoned comedy friends just trying to make each other laugh. The McCartney cameo and Wiig’s Dolly Parton impression stand out as highlights—even if the sketch as a whole doesn’t make their all-time greatest hits list. The rest of the conversation is a rollicking survey of SNL’s creative chaos, life as a comedian, and the everlasting joy of just goofing off with old friends.

Transcript

[Seth Meyers]

Let me tell you about a thing.

[Jack Black]

I know the moment on Jack Marsh podcast show.

[Seth]

We got a hot out and Andy's gonna take off at a certain point.

[Seth Meyers]

What do we think about this as like podcast etiquette? Being last one to join, first one to say you got a heart out. Like where does that.

[Andy Samberg]

I think it depends on if you offered up other times that were rejected by Yorm.

[Seth]

I think, I think that's what you call G shit.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Thank you.

[Seth Meyers]

This is very disappointing, Andy, because a lot of people were commenting the last episode and again, you clearly didn't have a heart out because you had no respect for anyone'. Mine wasn't even a hard out. I just sort of had a rolling soft out and you still wouldn't let me go. And my take was that you are away from your family shooting a movie and you're finding a lot of connection in the pod. I think we're filling a gap that your family is not present to provide you.

[Seth]

Is that right, Andy?

[Andy Samberg]

I think everyone is as relaxed as their situation.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. And I think it's a rolling situation. Can I tell you guys a lesson that I've really learned from the three of you? It needed the three of you because I really didn't have a movie crew career. And what I've learned from the three of you, even working on Hot Rod, you know where I was on a movie, all three of you there is that movies are not fun to make and it's not fun to be around people who are making movies.

[Andy Samberg]

I think that's accurate.

[Seth]

That's the pre pro part.

[Seth Meyers]

So fun to watch. Movies are so fun to watch, especially the ones you guys make. But my goodness, like, you know, you are mus. I said to Andy, like, where are you going to be on Tuesday? You going to be on set? I'll stop by. And it just like, I mean, Andy loves me. You guys know how much he loves me. And just a real cold shouldered the idea of me stepping around.

[Seth]

It was almost like Seth, when you invite someone to a Broadway show and then your reaction to that for me is how you felt like rejected when I was like, hey, do you want to go see this Broadway show? And you were like, no, exclamation point. Are you sure? No, I said what the show was. No, that's kind of how you felt, right?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

But visiting a movie set is also. You always think you want to do it. Like, that's so cool. They're shooting here, let's go. And you get there and within 10 minutes you're like, oh, right. I'm just at somebody's work and it's really boring.

[Andy Samberg]

Also, everyone's working so hard and so, so stressed out. And you never have enough money, no matter how much money you have. And you're always racing against time.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, that's interesting. Oh, okay.

[Seth Meyers]

Bring money.

[Andy Samberg]

If I can bring a suitcase full of cash. It's also, this movie isn't like a goofy, loose set. It's like a little bit more serious.

[Seth]

Can I push back on that? When I visited Andy and had lunch with him, it was lovely and you know.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, come have lunch with me.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

I'm also producing and there's like a million fires to put out at lunch every day. I don't know what to tell you. It sucks.

[Seth]

Are there actual fires?

[Akiva Schaffer]

But the gratitude, forgetting to do it. The privilege.

[Seth Meyers]

Andy.

[Andy Samberg]

It's an honor and a privilege and I count my lucky stars every day. But it's not a, like, bro hang vibe.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Andy skipped the media training.

[Seth Meyers]

This is what I want to share with our listeners, which is not something maybe they know. Especially, you know, oh, my God. Andy Samberg. Like, if you're ever, for example, at a charity auction and one of the items is stop by set for a movie that's just throwing. I don't care how good a cause it is, you're just throwing that money away.

[Andy Samberg]

When we were shooting Pop Star, people would swing by all the time and it was perfect. Cause it's just like joke bag, goof vibe. You want a party atmosphere?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

It just depends on the project.

[Seth Meyers]

It's a very seminal time for. I don't even know if I'm using that word right, but it's 10th anniversary of pop star, 25th anniversary of wet Hot. Woo.

[Andy Samberg]

Wow.

[Seth Meyers]

American Summer. And I had Rudd on the show. And then I also interviewed Rudd at the Tribeca Film Festival, like, for a panel for Rudd. And we talked a lot about Wet Hot, which it does seem like that was genuinely as fun to make as it was to watch. Because it was like, all dudes the same age who were hanging out at. They were basically at camp while they were making a movie about camp.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes, you can tell.

[Seth]

You can tell. That one, I think is. Yeah, exactly.

[Seth Meyers]

That he shared this story. So it was in a public setting. And it makes me laugh so hard every time I've heard Paul say it, which is that David Hyde Pierce, who was like, by far the biggest star in that movie, he showed up like a few weeks late. And they were basically every night they were like partying in this common area and staying up till all hours, despite the fact they were super early call times. And the first time they met David Hyde Pierce, he walked into a raging party at 2 in the morning. And when he did, Rudd said it was like a record scratch moment where everybody got quiet. And then Ken Marino said Frazier. But then also that David Hyde Pierce was just coming down to hang. It was like the most fun guy in the world. He was not. He was not in any way, shape or form arriving with.

[Andy Samberg]

With Fraser Fraser energy

[Seth Meyers]

because somebody's got a heart out and we're desperate to get to stumbling. Can I do a little cleanup from. From last week?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, yeah.

[Seth]

If you could tell me everything that happened last week because I didn't listen, that'd be great.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, we talked about.

[Andy Samberg]

Bitch Stole My Line.

[Seth Meyers]

What was X versus Sever? The full title?

[Andy Samberg]

Ballistic. Ballistic Colon. X versus Sever.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, that's right. Oh, yeah. So we're talking about colon movies. Batman V, Superman Colon, dawn of Justice, Sicario Colon, Day of the Soldado.

[Andy Samberg]

Right.

[Seth Meyers]

And someone, and again didn't know work on the research. Someone did say in the comments that I guess it was titled Day of the Soldado. And then maybe late in the game they were like, let's remind everybody. This is a Sicario.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, that one is fascinating. Cause Sicario is like a very classy movie. Yeah, you don't usually do a colon title for that kind of a movie.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You mean you're surprised? Not just Sicario 2.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, this one is interesting to me. It's Dragon Wars. Colon. D. War. Dragon Wars. Colon, capital D, hyphen war.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't know. Dragon Wars. It sounds like something I would watch.

[Seth]

Does anyone know what the D stands for?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, you know what it stands for?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yorv.

[Seth Meyers]

That seems like they're using the colon as an aka.

[Andy Samberg]

It's like. I don't know.

[Seth]

What if it's Dramamine though? Like, and it's about, you know, nausea.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, if it's not Dragon again, it's really funny. Dragon Wars. Colon. Dragon Wars.

[Akiva Schaffer]

This is a. I don't know this movie, but it's Korean, so this is maybe Lost in Translation.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. But pretty great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. Oh, and it is a game because Dragon wars is a role playing game.

[Andy Samberg]

It does bring to mind Bad Lieutenant, Port of Call, New Orleans.

[Seth Meyers]

New Orleans. Which also Quaid sent in because wasn't

[Andy Samberg]

the first bad Lieutenant also kind of an art film in its way.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. But then that was like Best of Werner Herzog.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The second one is certainly Werner Herzog.

[Seth Meyers]

We're big.

[Andy Samberg]

Portocol, New Orleans, Portugal.

[Seth Meyers]

New Orleans is iguana. The iguana, it's peak. Nicholas Cage. And the more I. By the way, can I just say, Nicholas Cage did the greatest interview in the New York Times in 2019. He ran it back with the same interviewer just recently doing Spider Man Noir Press. And this guy is. I think it's David Marchese. I got to check, though. Hold on, I got to. Let me check. Just do yourself a Faber. Jesus Christ.

[Andy Samberg]

No, no, no. Just leave that tape.

[Seth]

No, no, do both, do both.

[Seth Meyers]

Do yourself a favor. And it's David Marchese and he does back to back two of the greatest interviews of Nicolas Cage. And Nicolas Cage is not ever doing things without it being a choice. And that's what's so great about Portocol, New Orleans is he's just. Do you remember the scene where he's threatening a woman with her oxygen tank? Or he's threatening her son? He likes basically like cinches her oxygen tank in an old age.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't remember. I need to rewatch this movie.

[Seth]

Yeah, same.

[Seth Meyers]

And you know our buddy Dieter von Kunth. Rest in peace, Val Kilmers.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Oh, right, yeah.

[Seth]

They're fucking killing it together. Yeah, Dieter von Kunth.

[Andy Samberg]

I remember being under the influence, watching that movie and being hugely entertained.

[Seth Meyers]

It was one of the. It's one of the few movies we all watched together in snl and it was just. That's right, yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

At Jost's house.

[Seth Meyers]

No, we watched it in the writers.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Literally in the writer room.

[Seth]

That's right.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We were like, we gotta watch this. And it was like a Monday at like 3pm so we were something. So we were just like, no one's writing right now anyways, we're just going to put it on. And a bunch of people came and sat down and started watching it.

[Andy Samberg]

So we were just drinking.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. I think it might have been a Monday night. Because we were drinking.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

So it couldn't have been. But it was the most. Because we did not do that often. There was the Beowulf screaming Jesus. The Beowulf screening. And then Port of Call, New Orleans.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Anyway, but that wasn't at snl, of course.

[Seth Meyers]

No, no, that was at a proper theater. But that was everybod.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, the first time.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Legends of the Guardians, colon. The Owls of Ga Hooly.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, yeah, we know about the Ga'. Hool.

[Seth Meyers]

Gahooly G A Apostrophe H O O. Zack Snyder animated.

[Seth]

Is it not Ga'?

[Seth Meyers]

Hool?

[Andy Samberg]

It's Gahool.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We always said Ga', Hool, but I don't know if that's right.

[Seth Meyers]

It might be Ga'. Hool.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, it's Ga'.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Hool. It's like a World War II Nazi movie, but starring owls. Is it really in a very, very clear allegory.

[Andy Samberg]

Zack Snyder directing animation, Right?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, my gosh.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And it was in 3D, and you could get the 3D Blu Ray and watch it at home on your 3D TV. Right. When that was a thing. And so it was in 3 whole derfs. We all watched it in 3D together at my house.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, you. You watched Owls of Ka' Hoole together?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, that's why we know it so well.

[Seth Meyers]

And what was your takeaway of that one? Like? Was it. Is it. Is that a good one?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I don't remember. These are all, like, 15 years ago now. But we had fun just saying the Owls of Kahool and cheersing our drinks and watching these owls talk and, like, fly out of the TV towards your face.

[Andy Samberg]

I remember. I could be wrong. I remember going into it being like, this is gonna be so crazy and funny. And then, like, halfway through being like, this is slightly too good to be funny.

[Seth]

Yeah, it was on the edge. There are moments and there are, like,

[Akiva Schaffer]

fascist owls taking over and they're like, mounting a rebellion against them.

[Seth]

Well, that part was good.

[Andy Samberg]

And it also just looks fucking amazing. Like, you can't front on the lighting. It's just so good.

[Seth Meyers]

It was the Alchemy of Portocol. New Orleans was exactly the movie I think we all wanted it to be

[Akiva Schaffer]

from start to finish.

[Seth]

Exceeds expectation on that one.

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, look at the detailing on this mask.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth]

Yep. That's straight out of Ga'. Hool. You know what I mean?

[Andy Samberg]

That's the gajoolean craftsmanship.

[Seth Meyers]

This really made me laugh. Somebody said 15 years ago they heard Colin Hanks, on a podcast, refer to his dad, Tom Hanks movie Bridge of Spies as spy Bridge. Colon, Bridge of Spies,

[Seth]

original title.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm going to see Colin today, guys.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, God. Tell him you got a shout out for his. And well, confirm. Confirm. He.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm actually going to. I'm going to see both of them, so I can also. Hopefully I'll congratulate him in front of his dad so that his dad can

[Andy Samberg]

go, you called it. What? How dare you, boy.

[Seth Meyers]

Multiple Quaids, of course, pointed out pop star colon. Never stop. Never stopping. But of course, that's. Yeah, that's. That doesn't count because that's comedy.

[Andy Samberg]

Correct. If it's comedy. It does not count if it's intentionally funny. Like, don't be a menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood or something.

[Seth]

Right?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Every Naked Gun movie had one.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Just FYI. So when you miss Yoram, it's a lot of colon stuff.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth]

No, no, no. I mean, I do wish we had done the MacGruber 2 one. I thought that was really good.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What was it again?

[Seth]

It was MacGruber 2. Colon. Hawaiian Gold. Colon. The search for Hawaiian Gold. Two colons.

[Andy Samberg]

It is very funny, but I just want to. Time check. 14 minutes first MacGruber reference.

[Seth]

Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

And we're not even done with cleaning up.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So you're suggesting MacGruber is Yorm's new bay area. Yeah, I'm from the bay, so I don't even notice him. Talk about MacGruber.

[Seth Meyers]

Really? I'm from the bay. I also did MacGruber. Yeah. Hey, what's up?

[Andy Samberg]

I'm Yorm. I'm from the bay. MacGruber. MacGruber, bay. MacGruber.

[Seth]

Bay.

[Seth Meyers]

Colon.

[Akiva Schaffer]

MacGruber.

[Seth Meyers]

Colon. Curly's Gold in Hawaii over your Dead

[Seth]

body also is available on vod, guys.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, I thought you had left that behind in the press cycle.

[Seth Meyers]

No, it's VOD now.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You can get it on video on demand, guys. You can watch it at home.

[Andy Samberg]

Do yourself a flavor.

[Seth]

Do your. It's the best way to watch it, guys. I know we said the theaters, but now it's vod.

[Andy Samberg]

It's actually better on vod. Do yourself a favor.

[Seth Meyers]

Do yourself a favor. Oh, there's another one. We're back. Exclamation point. A dinosaur story. That's weird.

[Andy Samberg]

That's.

[Seth Meyers]

Now that's genuinely two sentences because you're like, who's back?

[Akiva Schaffer]

And then the second half answers a question you asked, which is nice.

[Andy Samberg]

Say it again.

[Seth Meyers]

We're with an exclamation point. A dinosaur story.

[Andy Samberg]

That can't be real.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, 1993.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I like that, though, because most of these aren't necessary. That first one is like, who?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, wow. That really made me laugh.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah. Interesting fact about that, because they didn't do want to do exclamation point, colon. There's no colon. I guess it's two sentences.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The first sentence is we're back.

[Andy Samberg]

And the second sentence is it's a dinosaurs story.

[Seth Meyers]

It's not a dinosaur story. This is his story.

[Seth]

I bet they had a lot of arguments about grammar on that one.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's one dinosaur story. There's multiple dinosaurs on the COVID But it's only one of their stories.

[Andy Samberg]

One of them is telling it.

[Seth]

You have to guess which one.

[Andy Samberg]

Or it's about one of them. Truly the protagonist, the protagasaur.

[Seth Meyers]

Protagasaur. We talked about Horseplay and Andy's wonderful Robert Smith from the Cure and Horseplay. We've often also talking, talking. What the fuck is wrong with me? We've also talked about Seth, you shroom in, bro.

[Andy Samberg]

Be real. You shrooming.

[Seth Meyers]

I thought we were doing an animated Beowulf rewatch, so I took some shrooms.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I forgot.

[Andy Samberg]

Do not recommend.

[Seth Meyers]

Do not recommend Robert Smith. We have always talked about when a sketch has music you can't clear, it does not repeat. And so multiple people said, oh, my God, I've seen that episode on Peacock before. And at Good Nights, Andy's dressed like Robert Smith from the Cure with no context.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, interesting.

[Seth Meyers]

Because Horseplay doesn't air and they've taken it out of the repeat. So there's.

[Andy Samberg]

Because they didn't want to pay for all the song clearance.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. So it's just.

[Andy Samberg]

Even though we're weird owing it.

[Seth Meyers]

I guess not, huh? More than one person said it, so there you go.

[Andy Samberg]

Yum yum. You want to call the NBC lawyers?

[Seth Meyers]

Call it.

[Seth]

Yeah, hold on.

[Seth Meyers]

Yo, call it.

[Andy Samberg]

He got right up on the mic.

[Seth Meyers]

Hey, you're light and light Kiev is called a panache in France.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Ooh, that's nice.

[Seth]

Explain this. What is this? I missed this.

[Seth Meyers]

This is. This is a beer with like a sparkling lemonade. Is a panache.

[Seth]

Oh, wait. What's a. What's a Michelada? What's. Isn't that the same thing?

[Seth Meyers]

A Michelada is a beer with a little bit of lime juice and often. And a little tomato juice and a little hot sauce.

[Seth]

Tomato juice?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, that's Michelada tomato juice or sometimes clam juice.

[Andy Samberg]

By the way, guys, we're into June. It's officially the season for summertime specials.

[Seth]

Oh, yeah. Bing Bong.

[Seth Meyers]

What's a summertime special?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Summertime special.

[Andy Samberg]

Guy's a Knicks fan.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It was Jack. It was like makers or Jack. And it was seven up in a bunch of fresh lime juice. Is that right?

[Seth]

Little key limes? Specifically.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Squeezing in little key limes. Refreshing as fuck.

[Seth Meyers]

Do you have a favor of just

[Seth]

do yourself a flavor?

[Andy Samberg]

Do yourself a favor, neighbor.

[Seth Meyers]

Would you buy a smaller than a normal sized lemon squeezer to squeeze your little key limes? Did you have like a little.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Just cut them in half, hand squeeze them and dump the whole thing in the drink.

[Andy Samberg]

So you got to manipulate that.

[Seth]

You got to be poolside, though, you got to be poolside.

[Seth Meyers]

The fact that you guys did that unironically to enjoy it. And it also sounds like something Connor for real would have.

[Seth]

Can we name drop where we were doing it the most? At Drew Carey's house? Yeah, by the pool. Drew was never there.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Drew Carey was not there. This is a. Jeff, we should give credit where it's. Dude, Jeff Davis is the originator of this drink as far as I know. Oh, really? And he was the one that introduced all of us to it. And he would house sit for Drew Carey when Drew Carey was out of town. And we would just go up to the Hollywood Hills and swim in his pool. This is always great.

[Seth]

It was a great time. And there was also another name for the drink, but we can cut this part out. But it was called the.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It was called that.

[Andy Samberg]

You can just bleep it.

[Seth]

Yeah, just bleep it.

[Seth Meyers]

Don't have to guess, but just. Just bleep the. And see it, people.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh my gosh.

[Seth]

Sure.

All right, Andy, you go to a seafood restaurant sometimes, right?

[Andy Samberg]

Absolutely.

[Seth Meyers]

And maybe you order the lobster. And what do they give you when you order the lobster? You don't want to get it. Cause you don't want to get it on your nice clothes.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, a bib.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay. But like, sometimes don't you feel bad for the other people at seafood restaurants? They're maybe not ordering the lobster, but they also don't want to spill in their nice clothes. You know, if they're ordering halibut, say, or maybe the cod or maybe the tuna. What would you recommend for a person eating the tuna who didn't want to get anything? Maybe like a bib for tuna.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, God.

[Seth]

Oh. It was a long walk, but it was really, really worth it.

[Andy Samberg]

Couldn't have been more worth it.

[Seth Meyers]

Thank you.

[Seth]

Congrats.

[Andy Samberg]

How did I not see it coming?

[Seth]

Well, it was a long walk, but you know what?

[Andy Samberg]

It's consistent because I couldn't remember it last week either.

[Seth]

Yeah, he wove around some trees and then he got back on the path and so.

[Andy Samberg]

You mean Jabba's assistant?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, Java's assistant, Fortuna. It was also recommended that if Jeremy Ellen White could play a hut, they were saying, like, Sudeikis doing new job of the hut. And every time he tries to get Bib Fortuna's attention, he says, bib. Like he said, babe and two assholes.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, Bib.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Bib. Jabba's coming. Bib.

[Andy Samberg]

Bib. Salacious Crumb is doing the wig part. By the way, never has a character's name been more describing that character. Salacious Crumb.

[Seth Meyers]

It's almost like he let the Muppets characters get named by the Muppet people. I'll do Bib Fortuna. You name it, whatever you want. They're like, all right, we're gonna give him a real Fraggle Rock name. No worries. Nothing he missed your arm. Was. I said, because I'd been trapped into it by a merry fuck kill question. I said that I would fucking Ewok right as Alexi walked past.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth]

And what do you think her reaction would be?

[Seth Meyers]

Well, a bunch of people said, based on the fact that, like, she had no reaction, is that maybe she wasn't surprised by this at all. And I think I realized the reason. It's just when I get frisky. Andy, this one's for you. Andy. Andy. Bib. Bib. When I get frisky, I do. I do ask for a little yub nub.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yub.

[Andy Samberg]

Wait. I looked up the spelling of Salacious Crumb, and the first thing I found was artwork depicting Salacious Crumb on the red carpet at the Met Gala.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah. Oh, that's Salacious Dope.

[Seth]

Oh, that's Salacious Crumb. Yeah, that's a great. I would want that on a wall, honestly.

[Andy Samberg]

It's at Karen cast. I don't know what that is. I hope that they're not racist.

[Seth]

Probably a bunch of fascist owls.

[Seth Meyers]

I said. I. I stepped on my dick and said Daily Planet when we're talking about Spider Man. Peter Parker works at the Daily Bugle. J. Jonah Jameson. Sorry for that, everybody. For a guy who, like, knows a

[Akiva Schaffer]

lot about comic books, Superman is at the Planet.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, Superman's at the Planet.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And both those publications come out weekly or.

[Seth]

No, they both tanked. They don't. They don't make them anymore. Print is dead, guys.

[Seth Meyers]

They both. They both shifted to online digital video. Digital video.

[Akiva Schaffer]

They're like news vlogs now.

[Seth]

Yeah, but they have a great, like, spelling app and worlds. Kind of, like competitive.

[Seth Meyers]

It's mostly word game stuff. I also said that Newman died in the Porta Potty. In Jurassic Park. That's incorrect. He died when the cute little dinosaur spit has it on his face.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, he's in the storm. He's fallen all over the place.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

You look like a nice little one.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, There you go.

[Seth]

Yeah, that's good.

[Seth Meyers]

This is very decent New Moon. We're really closing in on me wrapping up comments, but volley's worth mentioning that someone wrote in. Been looking forward to the I just had sex episode since the podcast started. Now that we're too short away, I'm so excited that I only have to wait eight more weeks. That's true.

[Seth]

Well, we have a lot of cleanup.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We also haven't even done the back half of Turtleneck and Chain yet.

[Seth Meyers]

No. So let's do that first. Well, let's do Stumblin Rudd's back and it's stumbling.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Speaking of shorts that have music issues, so they're hard to find. But I did just Google it for anybody listening here that wants to watch it. You can find it if you Google it. There's an. Somebody has it on Instagram, it comes up right away. And then there's a Live from New York Reddit. That's the one we're going to watch when we watch it, that I just found.

[Seth]

You're trying to get the Instagram person sued, Keith. Un fucking real.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, yeah. It's almost like we want people to check it out, but there's no real way to quump it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, you don't have to quump this one, but you can find it, just not through normal channels.

[Seth Meyers]

Maybe that's nice for our listeners not to have the pressure of feeling they're quumping something. You can just watch it for pleasure.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. Take a week off from, like, quump hunt.

[Seth]

Yeah. Dump the quump.

[Andy Samberg]

Dump the quump.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, by the way, you know, obviously we added a bunch of tags to last week's episode.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, right.

[Seth Meyers]

Someone said, what is this? This is turning into the Qualton's.

[Andy Samberg]

Jesus,

[Seth]

I wish I hadn't laughed.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't know.

[Andy Samberg]

I mean, we support a lot of Quay jokes.

[Seth Meyers]

I think it's good every now and then to show people we're not just delighted by everything.

[Andy Samberg]

It's not just. Just blind positivity.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

You're going to have to use a little bit of Gaoolan craftsmanship if you want.

[Seth]

Gotta get detailed. They forged that shit.

[Seth Meyers]

That was not. Are you saying that was not. That was not a gahoolen one.

[Andy Samberg]

It was not a gahulin one. Eddie's back. Seth, you're on fire today. But like, not the way.

[Seth Meyers]

Not with regular words.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

I've also missed words like talking and had. Okay, so stumblin'. Talk us through it. Where do we begin with old stumblin'.

[Andy Samberg]

Correct me if I'm wrong. I believe this was another thing where I had like the first line of it written down in my notes app.

[Seth]

What was the line?

[Andy Samberg]

Well, in the original 9 to 5, it's stumble out of bed.

[Seth Meyers]

Right.

[Andy Samberg]

Is the first line.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Yes.

[Andy Samberg]

Let's confirm that I was right all along.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I believe she stumbles to the kitchen and pours herself a cup of morning ambition.

[Seth Meyers]

Cup of ambition?

[Seth]

I don't know.

[Seth Meyers]

Is it morning? I think it's just.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No, it might just be ambition. You wouldn't say morning.

[Andy Samberg]

But I tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen.

[Seth Meyers]

Gotcha.

[Andy Samberg]

And that is something I found out after we had completed the whole short.

[Seth]

That's my favorite shit. Just like, oh, and we were wrong.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And what did she pour herself?

[Andy Samberg]

Pour myself a cup of ambition. Obviously that I knew. But I think I had flip flopped them. I thought it was stumble out of bed and I tumbled to the kitchen. But it's actually like the whole short should have been called tumblin. So it was another just like too many times joke of like, what if instead of being the song 9 to 5, it was just. She just kept stumbling everywhere and all the things she did.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Nobody on this pod can correct you if you're wrong because none of us were there at the inception. It's December 11, 2010, and my wife is pregnant and due in like a week or two. In 16 days was the actual due date. And I think she had made a deal with me, like, hey, in December, when I'm gonna be that pregnant, can you not do the show all the time? And I had started not doing the show, so I wasn't there at the beginning of the week. And then I did come in towards the end of the week. If you're having a memory of me on set, I was there.

[Andy Samberg]

Is this John Solomon?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes. I have a voice notes from John Solomon and from Mr. Paul Rudd about it.

[Andy Samberg]

Fantastic.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I have not listened.

[Seth Meyers]

So were you living in New York City though, Keev, still?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes, yes.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay, gotcha. So you weren't like flying in. You were just like late in the.

[Akiva Schaffer]

When we come in, our first daughter was born in New York City.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, this is the first one.

[Andy Samberg]

And then where you. And where were you? You were gone from the show.

[Seth]

In Africa. I was probably in Africa.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Like chappelle he's saying that like it's a joke. But around here is when you went to Kenya.

[Andy Samberg]

Is this true?

[Seth]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so. I'll do my own pot. About that. It's fine. Just keep. Keep them.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, great.

[Seth]

It's fine. It's a whole thing.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We should actually talk about that one. But you should do the slightest search of your emails to find out when you actually did it.

[Seth]

Yeah, that's fair.

[Akiva Schaffer]

But. Yeah, but yorm still off. So you and Solomon did it. And then I'll chime in when I joined if you get to that point.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, my apologies, John Solomon. I didn't even fucking remember that this is when we did together. But now that you've said it. Keev, I remember when you came in later, we were having an issue because there was blank spots in the song and it was idling and it felt lame. And you were like, you should add a big stumbling at the end of each section and put a big graphic on the screen. And it did make it have a lot better energy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Was that during editing?

[Andy Samberg]

During edit, yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Interesting.

[Seth]

Good job, Keith.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, so that was the idea I had then that it was me and it just is exactly what you would think. Let's try and think of as many weird, funny scenarios that you could be stumbling through. And I knew Rudd would be funny doing the stumbling. Cause his physical comedy's so good.

[Seth Meyers]

That's where I wanted to. I know not necessarily all your ideas were dependent on who the host was, but this is a perfect person for stumbling.

[Andy Samberg]

Correct. He's so good at doing physical performance that is both sarcastic and grounded at the same time. You know what I mean?

[Seth]

Since we were just talking about Wet Hot.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth]

His performance in Wet Hot is phenomenal.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth]

First of all, him talking about his gurnall. Don't you mean your journal all the time?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, yeah.

[Seth]

Is incredible.

[Andy Samberg]

But his.

[Seth]

His like flipping his body around in exactly the way that Andy just described.

[Seth Meyers]

Like that sort of petulant moment of putting your. What is it?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Your fork his dishes away.

[Seth Meyers]

I said it to him the other day in front of a bunch of people, which is. I think the first time I saw Rudd was in Cider House Rules. So I saw him in a drama first. And then when he was in Wet Hot, when I first saw him on screen, I'm like, this dude's not. Cause those. I knew a lot of those people from Chicago already as being and like, you know, from Upright Citizens Brigade on television. I'm like, what's this dude doing with Them. And then by the end of that scene, I'm like, oh, oh, he's. That. He's a comedy icon. It's one of the great, I don't know, introductions to a character I've ever seen.

[Andy Samberg]

Reminds me a little bit of the introduction to Mary and O Mary. The petulance and physicality of it.

[Seth Meyers]

Obviously.

[Seth]

Rowing yourself against your own petulance.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, it's really, really funny and fun to watch. Had he already been in Stella shorts and stuff by the time Wet Hot came out? I can't remember which came first.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't think so. Only because he just told me the story. He had worked with Zach Orth, who knew those dudes in Romeo and Juliet, and then he went and saw those guys, those State guys do a show, and David Wayne basically went up to him and was like, hey, we're trying to get money for this movie. Would you be interested in reading a part for it?

[Andy Samberg]

It.

[Seth Meyers]

So I think Wet Hot was his introduction into that world.

[Andy Samberg]

Amazing.

[Seth Meyers]

Hell of an intro.

[Andy Samberg]

I saw Wet Hot American Summer at Sundance when it premiered.

[Seth Meyers]

God damn.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And then we went to Westwood the day it came out and saw it at the one theater it was showing

[Seth]

in la was all of his first stuff. Drama stuff. Like, he's so fucking funny that it's surprising.

[Seth Meyers]

Lewis was his first big thing. So.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth]

And that was more like.

[Seth Meyers]

But he was not. He was a.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And he's not being that funny. He's being, like, charming.

[Seth]

Yeah, right. I guess he's not the best friend. He's the right.

[Andy Samberg]

But in Clueless, I think we can all agree there's a certain level of Gajoolean craftsmanship.

[Seth Meyers]

Yes, certainly.

[Seth]

Yeah. I knew it wasn't gonna be worth it, but.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No,

[Seth Meyers]

they did. You're doing one with owls called gahoolis.

[Andy Samberg]

That was a gahoolan, too.

[Seth]

There's so many more things that need to hit the glossary now. Oh, I know.

[Seth Meyers]

This might be where he's like, I'm out on the glossary.

[Akiva Schaffer]

These do not deserve to be written down.

[Seth]

They're enjoying it.

[Seth Meyers]

Too much.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Gahoolean craftsmanship. When something is made in an attention

[Andy Samberg]

to detail look, just. You know what? Do yourself a favor. Google the helmet that I looked at.

[Seth]

So many moments where I'm like, what is this podcast?

[Andy Samberg]

No one knows. No one knows and no one cares. You know? No one cares. That's what's so cool about it. It's just free.

[Seth Meyers]

It's just free. Oh, my God. We just do what we want.

[Andy Samberg]

Yep.

[Seth]

Open your mind. Quaids.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, so we got that heart out just bearing down on us.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, man.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Can't wait.

[Seth]

We all can't wait.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, a little more preamble. It was very exciting when we asked Wig if she had a Dolly Parton, because we were like, oh, you know who we should ask is Wig. Cause we were like, how are we gonna do the song thing?

[Akiva Schaffer]

She did the whole thing.

[Andy Samberg]

And then she was like, I don't think so. And we were like, well, just try. And then she did it. And we were like, of course. It's, like, really good.

[Seth]

Y.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Have we even mentioned that Paul McCartney is the musical guest and will appear in this short?

[Andy Samberg]

Not yet.

[Seth Meyers]

I know we've also talked about Paul Rudd's bar in his basement, but he has a awesome cue card of promos. I'm Paul Rudd, and I'm hosting this week with Paul McCartney. Which is.

[Seth]

Yeah, has that up on his wall, but not the painting from Everyone's a Critic.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Everyone was pretty geeked about Paul McCartney all week.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. I mean, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but he came on, it was already so crazy. And then, like, halfway through the week, it became clear he was to do A Day in the Life, which he had never performed before. And it was, like, the anniversary of John Lennon's passing. So it was this huge deal, and I think I. Probably a lot of people are on the same page as me that that's one of, if not their favorite Beatles songs. So it was so crazy to get

[Akiva Schaffer]

to see that he did that at the end of the episode.

[Seth Meyers]

And didn't he do Jet in Band on the Run as well?

[Andy Samberg]

Correct? I think so, yeah. It was crazy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What a great show.

[Seth Meyers]

So you're saying he did Jet Band on the Run Day in the Life and Stumblin'.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Wow, that's accurate.

[Seth]

The fucking trifecta right there.

[Andy Samberg]

Technically, yes.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He did a tiny harmonica solo, which we'll see in a second.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, he was really into his tiny harmonica at this time, I believe there's lots of.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So cartoonishly little. You would watch this short, thinking it's our bit that we made him do, but it was his bit that he was doing everywhere.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, I know. We've established the way that John Solomon talks. I do remember him. I was like, oh, my God, McCartney's in it. He's like, yeah, he's gonna play his tiny harmonic. And I'm like, oh, my God, that's so funny. He's like, nope, it's his. Because I was. I definitely thought it was like a

[Akiva Schaffer]

bit that you guys put in. Well, you guys made it into one. You'll see.

[Seth]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

So, Andy.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes, Akiva, sir?

[Akiva Schaffer]

I got called in. I directed the Paul McCartney segments.

[Seth]

Oh, yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Because Lauren couldn't have somebody like. So John Solomon is a great director in his own right, but had not directed very much at all at the show and was kind of just graduating into taking over directing on certain things. And so with Andy there.

[Andy Samberg]

But is taller than you.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And much more manly.

[Seth Meyers]

But the problem was he was so tall, it made Harmonica look even smaller.

[Andy Samberg]

He is a nice looking guy. I'm not saying. You're not.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No. He's a very handsome, classic man. Joe's dad is talked about him as Joe's dad.

[Seth Meyers]

And you think lorne didn't want McCartney to spend time with people more handsome than Lauren?

[Akiva Schaffer]

That was the main thing.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Seth]

Get him out of there.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He's like, paul Rudd's fine.

[Andy Samberg]

You think Akiva's not more handsome than Lauren?

[Seth Meyers]

I think Lauren might not think that. I think that.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, wow.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Young, young Lauren. Maya in his doc calls out that he's a cutie. So anyways, Lauren did call me and was like, I know you're at home this week, but can you actually come in and do the segment with Paul McCartney with the guys?

[Andy Samberg]

And you're like, oh, maybe. Who dat? Yeah.

[Seth]

Did he do that classic Lauren thing to keep where he was like, come on, please.

[Seth Meyers]

Come on, Keith, Come on.

[Akiva Schaffer]

There's a whole segment in the Lauren doc that's now on peak where everyone's doing their lone impression and everyone's just

[Seth Meyers]

like, come on, come on. Do the short. I want.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And then it goes to, like, Dana and he does his.

[Seth Meyers]

Come on.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And then it goes to Mark McKinney and he's like, oh, come on.

[Andy Samberg]

I got a paper cut sing.

[Seth]

I don't have any money.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm going to get shut down by the stupid. Why does anybody wash the fish tank?

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, my God, this popcorn's chewy.

[Seth Meyers]

Everyone's got a lorn either in too long or not in long enough. I don't know which one, but it's chewy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Everyone does, Lauren. That's one of the things.

[Seth Meyers]

Like it again.

[Andy Samberg]

What is this fucking Lowry salt? All right.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Should I hit it?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Cheers, please.

[Jack Black]

Stumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen Stumble in the bathroom Stumble to the living room Stumble out the door and pass my car Stumbling Stumble into work and I stumble through the office Stumble to the gym and I stumble through my workout Stumble down The street into a bar. Stumbling, stumble through the car Mario pajama Stumble through a world record ping punk tennis rally Stumble, ride and stair with my good old friend it seems they stumbles Never got my ass.

[Seth]

This is so you, Andy.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes.

[Seth]

This is full on Muppet mode. This is Muppet. Muppet tastic.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. We're already almost a minute in, and I can already be like, it's fine.

[Seth]

I have a smile on my face.

[Andy Samberg]

It's never gonna take itself to another level. It's just a sort of mood piece. It's a little pleased with itself, but it's also kind of fun.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah.

[Seth]

By the way, fucking shout out. Wig again. Cause, holy shit, I thought it was her for a second.

[Seth Meyers]

If you hadn't said it, I would not have known.

[Andy Samberg]

Isn't it crazy?

[Seth Meyers]

It's crazy. It's so good. It's so good. Also, you do feel like somebody who wants to be stumbling at all times. I feel like it is your natural gaze. There's a moment where you guys stumble and make a turn where it actually feels like it's physically difficult for you to stumble and hit that corner of the sidewalk and go another direction.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, we were giggling about doing that. Cause it was so stupid. Also, you know, obviously, shout out Mario Batali.

[Seth Meyers]

Shout it out.

[Andy Samberg]

He was in there. He swung by already, though. A lyric where I was like, oh, that's a dud. Stumble past my good old friend, and it's just super open and empty on both sides musically. We hung. We got to dry there and should have done better. All right, let's keep going. Keep going.

[Jack Black]

Past a guy putting on his first lipstick. Stumble past a girl with a big ball of Bisquick. Stumble past three different kinds of bears. Stumble past the elevator. Stumble past the elevator. Stumble past the elevator.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Stumble past the elevator.

[Jack Black]

Michael Bryan stumbled down the nest.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, stop. So three types of bears. I stand by. Good joke.

[Seth Meyers]

Yep, yep.

[Andy Samberg]

Little tidbit. And I'm sure Rudd will remember this first take he did of the whole shoot, since we were already in the building was stumble past the elevator. First take, first. Stumble past the elevator. He sliced his hand open on the metal siding of the elevator door frame. And he was like, all right, add action. He's like, simple, simple.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, fuck.

[Andy Samberg]

Just like, pouring blood down his arm. I remember me and Sullivan being. And by the way, I didn't remember Sullivan did it until 10 minutes ago, but I do remember us looking at each other and being like, oh, no. And being like, do you want to bail to Paul? And he was like, no, no, of course not. Because. Of course he's not. Because he's the best. But I felt so bad immediately. So guilty.

[Seth]

The way he gets hurt, though. Did you think it was a joke for a second? Because he plays that really hard.

[Andy Samberg]

No, because there was just so much blood.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Shit.

[Seth]

You can't improv past the blood. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

All right.

[Jack Black]

Down. A nasty flood of snares

[Seth Meyers]

Walking in slow motion Walking in slow motion.

[Jack Black]

Great.

[Andy Samberg]

Just for this.

[Seth]

Even if it was just for this,

[Andy Samberg]

I had forgotten that that's what we did. And it's a different song.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's another reason this is not on the repeat.

[Andy Samberg]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

That's great, though.

[Seth]

That's fucking great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Is Berlin the name of the group that sings that?

[Andy Samberg]

I believe so, yeah. It's the Top Gun song.

[Seth Meyers]

He's saying what?

[Akiva Schaffer]

Walking in slow motion. Walking in slow motion.

[Seth Meyers]

Gotcha.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's why they're walking in slow motion.

[Andy Samberg]

This is the first line of Take My Breath Away, which is the song in Top Gun where they're silhouetted, kissing, but you can see their tongues.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Seth]

They don't walk, though, famously, in that. So it was nice to actually put, you know, the lyrics.

[Seth Meyers]

It's really funny and cool that he did that. And it's really great that it then goes to Tiny Harmonica. This is, again, a whole. This is a shot of adrenaline. Right. As you need this.

[Andy Samberg]

But also, it's not walking in slow motion. It's not.

[Seth Meyers]

No, no.

[Andy Samberg]

It's watching every motion. Oh, is it?

[Seth Meyers]

What?

[Akiva Schaffer]

No, but that's fine. Did you think it was walking in slow motion, Akiva?

[Andy Samberg]

Yes.

[Seth]

Yeah. There's a lot of misfires.

[Andy Samberg]

That's how little due diligence was going down here.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Didn't even bother listening to the song once.

[Seth Meyers]

You have to remember, this is 2010. You couldn't go hoogle stuff. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

You couldn't just go hoogle willy nilly.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, you could.

[Akiva Schaffer]

There's also a whole research department at SNL would have pulled it up for you.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Then you gotta send them out.

[Andy Samberg]

They didn't have time for that. You guys had left, you know.

[Seth]

This is what fucking art is, dude. Yeah. It's how art becomes art.

[Andy Samberg]

Anyway, that made me laugh, seeing that again.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I'm gonna watch him again. He's in, like, a kind of a pirate shirt.

[Andy Samberg]

Mm. Also enjoying Bea and Paul both. Both Paul Rudd. Both doing the smile without the eyes face while walking in slow motion.

[Seth]

It's like a silky pirate.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's also just nice hearing Paul McCartney sing. He sounds like Paul MC's good.

[Seth]

Yeah, he's good.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, he's all right. Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That might just be his. His wardrobe. Oh, no, you're wearing it too.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Seth]

Look at r. Wait, when you said that might just be his wardrobe, I thought you meant, like, he just brought that set.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Well, I meant, like, maybe his people,

[Seth]

his clothes for a second.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It looks kind of cool. So I thought, oh, maybe that's, like, what the vibe of him at this moment in 2010 was. I don't know.

[Seth]

Oh, you did mean that. Okay, great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, no, I did. Like, it's possible that that's what he

[Andy Samberg]

was wearing for the show, but then it matches. What we're wearing is the giveaway. Then I was like, man, intentionality.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, here we go. You think? He was like, you turned my tiny harmonica into a joke, you motherfuckers. It was serious.

[Andy Samberg]

No, I think he was just psyched to be doing it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, he was. It was delightful.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay. Really?

[Seth]

Look at red on this one.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Because, I mean, look how happy he is to do it.

[Seth]

Oh, my God. His ass is just. It's such a bummer.

[Akiva Schaffer]

And then presents the tiny harmonica at the end.

[Seth Meyers]

It's really something.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He knows it's funny.

[Seth]

Yeah, that's great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He was happy that it was getting its moment.

[Jack Black]

With a hobo action regal. That's a bunch of m. And a painter with an easel and a one bat band playing checkers with his dancers. Thus concludes our doubling adventure. Here.

[Seth Meyers]

Stop.

[Seth]

I do. I do wish that wig had come in for that last note.

[Andy Samberg]

Great call. Would have been good. Also, we had a different shot planned for every single one of those last setups, and we just did not have the time.

[Seth Meyers]

Right. So you put them all in a

[Andy Samberg]

oner to do them all. So it ended up being like, we'll just do them all in a oner. And that's why there's little moments of idling that I don't love.

[Seth]

Yeah, a hobo acting regal. That's what that line is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like, normal shit.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, yeah, Just like, top notch stuff.

[Seth Meyers]

It is funny, like, when you realize, like, it doesn't really matter what you're shooting. Like, the stakes are the highest. And so, like, when you look back and you're like, oh, my God, like, Rudd gashed his hand and Keef had to be called back into the building even though his wife was out to give birth. And it's like, what, for the stumbling?

[Seth]

Or a tiny harmonica solo?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

[Andy Samberg]

Rewatched and stumbling just now, my main takeaway is the moment it cuts to McCartney singing. Walking in slow motion is great.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, that's.

[Andy Samberg]

That's my main thing. Let's see what John Solomon has to say.

[John Solomon]

Quick memories of Stumblin are that it was a 24 hour shoot. I remember seeing crew members curled up in balls at the top of this stairwell where we were finishing shooting.

[Seth]

Oh no.

[John Solomon]

Saturday morning. Including Jody from the hair department, who we all love, who was somehow still in good spirits. But it was a marathon shoot. Definitely the craziest shoot that I have participated in. At snl, Paul Rudd gashed his hand open running in or out of the elevator on the eighth floor. He kept doing takes and trying to hide it kind of. And then at some point, I think I said to him, what's going on with your hand? And he kind of mumbled that he nicked it and then showed it to me and there was blood gushing out of it and it needed to be bandaged, but he just wanted to, he didn't want to trouble anyone with it, which was, you know, testament to his love of SNL professional. And then the other thing was, Lauren said, oh, you're gonna be Filming with Paul McCartney. Can you go say hello to him? When he gets here and introduce yourself. And I had never met Paul McCartney, obviously. And I remember walking down to the dressing room on the 8th floor where the musical guests are usually, and seeing his vegan food kind of laid out in the hallway. And then poking my head into the dressing room, he had his back to me, and he turned around and he extended his hand and he said, cashew. And he had a little tub of cashews. And I said, said, yeah, I'll take a cashew. I ate cashews with him, and he was very nice and super fun on the shoot, and it was crazy.

[Seth]

That was a good note.

[Andy Samberg]

Thanks, John.

[Seth]

Thank you, John.

[Andy Samberg]

The main thing he reminded me of was. Yes. And it speaks to exactly what you were just saying, Seth, about the stakes feeling so high. We shot for, like, 24 hours straight to get a table done.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm just spinning out, because when McCartney said cashew to me, I said, kazuntite.

[Andy Samberg]

I knew it was getting. The only surprising thing is that Solomon didn't say it already in his voice note.

[Seth]

Yeah, it's getting, it's getting worse. I, I, it would have been so great to be like, no, I'm allergic. Like, there's so many different things you can be a bummer to say.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, just like, do you have any ham? Very fun. Do you think, though, that, like, when then Solomon got back to Lauren's office, he's like, mccartney doesn't care for you. I have to call Akiva.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, we just had cashews.

[Seth]

He probably thought he was too handsome.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He's like, I don't trust this guy.

[Seth Meyers]

Did you take a fucking cashew? You're supposed to say, no, no, they're fucking his cashews. That's his fucking test. You know how much those fucking cashews cost?

[Seth]

Akiva never would have taken the cashew.

[Seth Meyers]

Perfect.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Lawrence, again.

[Seth Meyers]

Fucking $100 cashew, you dumb piece of shit.

[Andy Samberg]

Were you raised in a fucking barn?

[Seth]

Oh, I suppose you were going to handsome school when you were supp. Supposed to be learning about cashews.

[Seth Meyers]

Cashews for everybody. Oh, hey, one of the Beatles is giving out cashews.

[Andy Samberg]

All right, call Akiva.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, let's hear from Rudd. I'm very excited and hopeful that we're going to hear the Rudd take on his gashed hand.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yes, here we go.

[Seth Meyers]

Or is he such a pro that he's just going to not even tell us?

[Paul Rudd]

I remember shooting this so clearly because it was the most surreal thing. And what was surreal about it was it just kept getting more and more odd and incredible, obviously filming this with Paul McCartney as we're dancing around him in satin shirts and clapping. But we had to kind of.

[Seth Meyers]

That.

[Paul Rudd]

That whole section took a while. And I just remember Paul telling us all these great stories about John and the Beatles and filming Hard Days Night. And it was, it was absolutely amazing. And then, then not that later in the day, going into. Listen to him record Berlin in a sound booth. And Keith, I remember you were sitting behind kind of a mixing board and giving him direction on how to sing the Berlin song. And while he was doing it, you looked back at me and we both kind of wordlessly acknowledged how fricking bonkers that was. And yeah, it was an amazing, amazing experience. And that didn't happen in a parallel universe. That actually happened in real life.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh my gosh. He didn't mention the figure. What a pro.

[Seth Meyers]

He didn't mention the finger. He's just like, that's not what it was about.

[Andy Samberg]

He just remembers the positive.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, he really. I mean, again, you're like, how does Paul Rudd stay so young? Cause he fucking only remembers the positive.

[Andy Samberg]

That's right. Let that be a lesson to you. Quaid's.

[Seth Meyers]

That guy's not holding any negative energy.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah. I do remember, right when I met McCartney that he was just like, don't be afraid. Like, I want direction. I want you to tell me exactly what to do. I think he walks into rooms and people are on eggshells with him because he's who he is. And he was like, basically tried to tell me, don't be on eggshells. Just boss me around. Like, treat me like all these guys. Not. Cuz I had done something else. But he had just learned to be like, dude, because I'll be flailing out there and I'll look worse. Like, tell me when I'm doing it wrong. Just give me tons of direction. Shout it out. And so I think that's the reason I was like able to just immediately be telling him something about Berlin. I have no cl, right?

[Seth]

If you're allergic to cashews, fucking tell me. Like, don't go to the house.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Exactly, exactly.

[Andy Samberg]

He said that to you? And then Solomon was like. And maybe try. And he was like, no, not you, not you.

[Seth]

You.

[Seth Meyers]

You.

[Andy Samberg]

You took the cashew.

[Seth]

You're a failure.

[Seth Meyers]

You choke on a nut. He was doing those small shows In New York, McCartney, I think right before the 50th. Do you know what I'm talking about? Like a 500 seat venue comedy seller. Oh, yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

He's just Going up for a set. He's working on his Kevin Hart roast material.

[Seth Meyers]

But I. I asked him about it, and he was just talking about how much he loves being somewhere small. Like, how hard it is, and just how the banter is super fun. And, like, when a string breaks on your guitar, it's super fun. Cause it's like this. Everybody there is like, oh, my God. Hey, we're watching him, like, replace his string. You know what I mean? It's not a failure. It's just, like, an incredible person to.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It turns into a hangout, as opposed to, like, that you're just having to put on a shirt.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Seth]

I like him using it as a transition to talk about, like, oh, I love small places. And then slowly bringing the harmonica. Yeah.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The smaller the venue, the bigger this harmonica.

[Seth]

You know how small things are.

[Andy Samberg]

Like a little hot wheel. This is my call. You're like, wait a minute.

[Seth Meyers]

First time I ever spoke to him, I said hi to him and he said, are there any good skits this week? And I was just like, sketches.

[Andy Samberg]

Lauren prefers.

[Seth Meyers]

Lauren prefers sketches.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Take the cashew out of your mouth, idiot. It's called the sketch.

[Andy Samberg]

Oh, Kiva.

[Akiva Schaffer]

You can also call them a scene.

[Seth Meyers]

Take the cashews out of your ears.

[Andy Samberg]

Or a piece. Right?

[Akiva Schaffer]

A piece. Oh, that's a good piece. That's a good scene. Yeah. Peace is really. That's the good stuff.

[Andy Samberg]

So stumbling was a piece.

[Seth Meyers]

Stumbling, maybe. I don't know if we have a bucket for where stumbling goes.

[Andy Samberg]

I enjoy it fine. It's a nice little thing. I don't think it's Criterion. I don't think it's Kim's video.

[Akiva Schaffer]

No, no. But the McCartney moment, when it goes from one to the other and he starts singing is.

[Andy Samberg]

I'll say this. If you were making, like, a montage of all moments that were cool from them, I would definitely nominate the McCarty moment.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah. Walking in slow motion. And you guys walking in slow motion is right up there. And I also want to say in a real. Because I do think a good message is how hard this shit is. Because you have Paul McCartney genuinely great moment. You have Wiig doing an insanely great Dolly Parton. You and Rhett are great the whole time, and just something just doesn't quite click together.

[Andy Samberg]

It's just.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's nice and short.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah, it's nice and short.

[Seth]

It's fun. It's a fun one.

[Andy Samberg]

Here's what it's lacking. Hard laughs. Yeah, but sometimes you gotta just make something. Cause it's, you know, you don't go on' cause you're ready.

[Seth]

Wait.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Do it in your lorn voice.

[Andy Samberg]

Well, you don't go on' cause you're ready.

[Seth Meyers]

You go on' cause it's 11:30.

[Seth]

We just do it.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's like I'm there.

[Seth Meyers]

Come on, guys, just do it. It's 11:30 already. Is this fucking Jiffy Pop? Oh, my God. This popcorn tastes like taffy. So chewy. So, hey, look at that. This felt like a real episode. We didn't talk about any of the red stuff, but you got a heart out, right, Andy?

[Andy Samberg]

Well, let's take five minutes to talk about the rest of the show, and obviously I gotta hit up my man Jack.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, well, let's just do that part because I don't want to rush through stuff.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Yeah, there's some good first shorts in this. I'm looking at the rundown stuff we talked about.

[Seth Meyers]

Yes. So let's put a pin in that, because, you know, Just had Sex is our next short. We gotta. We gotta put a little air in this thing. Andy, how did you do on the spelling bee today?

[Andy Samberg]

Hit it, Jack Black. Spelling be. Spelling be. Seth, I intentionally didn't text you because I wanted this moment to have tension. And the answer is, I quibbied clean Pangram first, bitch.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, shit.

[Andy Samberg]

And I also confirmed with you via WhatsApp that you had to use hints, and that's what makes it so much sweeter, you guys, is the pantagram.

[Akiva Schaffer]

What is the pantagram?

[Seth]

The pantagram, it uses all the letters.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh, yeah. We talked about this a while ago.

[Seth]

Now I'm wrong. I know, because I got solid today. All right?

[Seth Meyers]

I was. By the way, no drama for me. Andy. When I finished with hints, I would have bet the house that it was gonna be a clean bee for you.

[Andy Samberg]

That's right. It was only a 20 word day, so I was feeling real confident, but nothing.

[Seth Meyers]

No crazy deep cuts or anything. What, bud?

[Andy Samberg]

I did Quibi clean at least two or three times this week.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

So I had a good week. Thanks for asking, everybody.

[Seth]

That's great, Andy. Congrats.

[Seth Meyers]

One more. I want to give one more shout out to my brother in law's documentary Rafa. Four episodes on Netflix. I went to a screening in New York City this week that Rafa was at, and Andy Roddick interviewed Rafa and Zach Heinzling, the director. And Andy Roddick has a tennis podcast right now and is really good. He's just a really good interviewer. He's really funny. And as a former SNL host, I'm just Glad to see that man thrive.

[Seth]

Oh, wait, there's one thing I did want to mention is that the truck, the van, the K truck, has made its way to New York. And I did get to drive it around with my man Andy.

[Andy Samberg]

I rode in it, y', all, and it did not disappoint.

[Seth]

It's even stupider in person.

[Seth Meyers]

It can't disappoint because it is. It's like built to disappoint.

[Seth]

I feel like, Andy, we should put in. Cause we drove around Manhattan and we hit one of the cobblestone streets and it does not have good shocks.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth]

And there's a very funny video.

[Andy Samberg]

There's a nice. We went to dinner with our friends Josh and Paul, which was a delightful time. We went to Via Carota. Shout out Via Carota. Thanks for making great food.

[Seth]

Shout out to the bay.

[Andy Samberg]

Paid full price. So I don't know why I'm like, they didn't bring us anything free or anything. I just. It was excellent. It's highly rated for a reason. Yeah. Kind of frankly thought maybe we'd get like one dessert au gratis, but no, that's fine.

[Akiva Schaffer]

We get it.

[Andy Samberg]

You guys are ballers. New York City best, baby. And then after dinner, we all hopped into yor's death van.

[Seth]

DY ride Dinksville.

[Seth Meyers]

I bet when they saw you what your ride was, Andy, they were like, oh, we should have given him a

[Andy Samberg]

dessert cuz he going to die.

[Seth]

Hey, speaking of. Speaking of, what I found out, Andy, after the fact was that apparently my insurance hadn't gone through yet. It's cool now.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Oh man.

[Andy Samberg]

Nice. Nice moves. But this is what I'll say. Seth Anikiva, you're here.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Barely.

[Andy Samberg]

Are you? Say something.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Barely.

[Andy Samberg]

Okay, so he's here. Yoram has a nice little bluetooth speaker in the van. Cause there's no like real usable sound system. It's like a cassette player.

[Seth]

It's cassette. Yeah. 1996.

[Andy Samberg]

And so we were rolling around the West Village on a Saturday night, like you can barely move gridlock traffic in this wrapped Japanese van with dragons all over it blasting dancehall. And every single block we went down, people were like laughing and pointing and smiling. And I was like, this is bringing so much happiness right now. It was like, like we. When we walked up to it to get into it, people were walking by going like, oh, like everyone was so delighted by it. I was like, okay, I get it. This is like yorm in a car.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It really is. Yes.

[Andy Samberg]

It's like a little clown conceived and delightful and Defies all the rules. It's not safe, but it's just great. Great.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Would you say it's like the tiny harmonica of cars?

[Andy Samberg]

I would definitely say it's the tiny harmonica of cars.

[Seth]

It also made me so happy because, Andy, I don't know how you worded it, but you were like, it's so great that we're such good friends, but that we're the opposite.

[Andy Samberg]

We make the opposite choice in every single moment in life. And yet we're, like, very dear friends.

[Seth]

We are.

[Andy Samberg]

It's a beautiful thing.

[Seth Meyers]

Like, if a witch turned Yorm into a car, this would be Exactly.

[Seth]

Oh, 100%.

[Akiva Schaffer]

That's a good movie premise.

[Seth]

Only if that happens, Seth. I wouldn't want to be turned back.

[Seth Meyers]

And the whole movie is friends being like, we're gonna get you back. And you're like, no, no, I'm good. I'm good.

[Andy Samberg]

I was gonna do the same joke, Seth. Same joke. Meep joke.

[Seth]

First day that I was driving it in Brooklyn, these cops pull up next to me. My son's in the. In the passenger seat, and I was like, oh. And they lean out the window. There's four cops. There's two in the back and two in the front, and they lean out the window and they're like, yo, that shit is tight. You're like, I wish we could trade cars. Cars.

[Andy Samberg]

That's what I'm saying. There's something magical about it. Wait, Yorm. Do we arrive on a name for the car in our Friends that We All Went to High school Together thread? We were pitching car name ideas for it.

[Seth]

Well, I'd love to open that up to the Quaid's. I mean, it does have a personalized license plate on it, but I feel like it could use an additional nickname. So anybody who has any names based on seeing pictures of it, please.

[Akiva Schaffer]

The one you guys liked the most on that thread, I think, by the end, was Dragonfly, which is pretty good.

[Andy Samberg]

Dragonfly, yeah. Our friend Toby Pitch, which is very funny.

[Seth]

Dragonfly was good. Yeah.

[Andy Samberg]

Very accurate.

[Akiva Schaffer]

I mean, is the dragon part of the D war?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, is it dragon war?

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah.

[Seth]

The Dramamine Wars. Yep, it is, because the shocks are not good.

[Andy Samberg]

Noah Dash has said Puff the Mini Wagon.

[Seth]

Pretty good.

[Andy Samberg]

Gabe said Dwagon, pronounced like a little kid who has imperfections.

[Akiva Schaffer]

Dwagon. Oh, Dwagon. That's pretty good.

[Seth]

Yeah, that's pretty good.

[Akiva Schaffer]

It's the D wave, but you pronounce it dwagon.

[Andy Samberg]

Paul said House. Targaryvan Targaryen. Dragon Stall. D. Dragon pox.

[Seth]

Try to top those guys.

[Andy Samberg]

Yeah. All right, well, we'll talk about this episode more later. Is that right?

Yep, that's right.

[Andy Samberg]

I love you guys very much. I went pass my heart out. That's how much I love you.

[Seth]

[Andy Samberg]

Also, we were just cooking. There's no doubt about it. Were cooking today.

[Seth Meyers]

Ario we dragon.

[Andy Samberg]

Aro what? Wagon weed.

[Seth Meyers]

Dragon. We like small. It doesn't.

[Seth]

But it sounds too much like weed, though.

[Seth Meyers]

That's true.

[Seth]

And smoking.

[Seth Meyers]

It's bad. It's bad. Forget that one. Don't vote on that one.

[Andy Samberg]

Don't vote on that one. On the vote.

[Seth Meyers]

Don't vote on that one. If you voted on that one. All right, Love you guys.

[Andy Samberg]

Love you.

[Seth]

Love you guys. All of you.

[Andy Samberg]
