    Q: When you get sent beats, how does that work? Timeline? Other people working on the same beat?

    A: It is a concern. They try to contact the producer to put a hold on it so they can have it. "Karate Guy" (Pop Star) has a sample credit listed for an August Alsina song ("Why I Do It") which also used the beat but was released before them.

Transcript

(00:00) The [singing] lonely [music] island It's a fun podcast. >> Yorm, I'm really happy you made it. You hosted a wedding at your house last night. >> We did. It was probably 120 people here last night. I was sitting >> to host a wedding with a phone that doesn't receive or send texts? >> [laughter] >> Oh, that's a great question.
(00:20) Yeah, it well cuz people could just shout to me from across the yard. >> I see. I see. I see. So, overall, the wedding's easier than a podcast is what you're saying. >> It's what we're getting at. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah, def. Def. Most of all. >> [laughter] >> Cuz like we knew you hosted a wedding, but we were like, "Oh, it must have been maybe accidentally Yorm like threw his phone when they were supposed to throw a bouquet, and that's why we haven't heard from >> I wasn't just hosting the wedding, Seth.
(00:41) I was officiating the wedding as well. That's why I was distracted. >> Sure. Sure. Sure. Yeah, no. >> Yeah, we were just looking for like a yay or nay of is this happening or not? Just like a single solitary nod. >> And yet, here I am. And where doth Andy be? You know? >> that's a fair That's a fair hit.
(00:57) I mean, I think Keev and I are in the clear. Keev Keev was texting with your wife this morning trying to figure out if you were doing the pod. >> Yes. I feel like >> Let's just make it clear if that threshold gets crossed with Alexi, the pod's over. >> I [laughter] was I was stumbling around the yard collecting all the fireworks that I blew up.
(01:14) >> [laughter] >> And then And then she was like, "Are you getting on the pod?" I was like, "Oh, yeah. I guess so." >> Right. Right. So, >> And yet, so be it, Andy. So, >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> But shout out to my cousin Katie and Will who just got married. My new cousin Will, too. And uh >> That's great.
(01:28) Wait, what did Forte do? >> Oh, well, Forte, who is not getting married, uh did They had these little stations They're a very creative couple, and they had these little stations that you had to collect stamps for. So, there's five different stations, and there's one that there's like this phone that you can pick up and leave a message for the couple, and then they're going to listen to it like 30 years.
(01:44) I don't know why it was 30 years. >> it. I like it. >> And then, of course, I was like, "It'd be fun if we got, you know, somebody to send a little message to like explain it when you pick up the receiver." And so, of course, Forte was the nicest man alive and was like, "Hello, this is Hollywood Will Forte." >> Does Forte know them? >> Nope.
(01:59) >> So, if Forte's basically like a human genie, you don't need to find his lamp and it's infinite wishes instead of three. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> Right? Like basically anything you ask Will Forte, you don't have to know him, you don't have to have like freedom from a lamp, he'll just basically give infinite wishes.
(02:14) >> He'll disappear and like talk to your grandma for a half an hour. >> Yep. There you go. Perfect. Sweet man. >> Hi Andy. >> Hi. >> Andy, you don't did I overhear you saying you beat me as I got on? >> Yeah, that was he's >> Yeah, well you were late. >> But it was impressive because I didn't even know this was happening about 15 minutes ago.
(02:30) >> Why would you? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuz [clears throat] you were non-responsive for four straight days. >> hey yo, I don't know if you like are going to be surprised by this, but I don't even know where my phone is right now. >> it into the wedding cake. >> Oh, no. >> [laughter] >> And it's the end of the week, right? Like this would be when your radar would go up like, "Oh, no, it's probably today.
(02:50) " >> [laughter] >> And Yorm, Keith had your back. Keith was the one who was like, "He's got a big old wedding in this house." He was trying his very best. >> I was defending. I was defending. >> Guy number one [ __ ] comes through. >> But I would say around 9:00 a.m. this morning, it became indefensible. >> Yeah, >> [laughter] >> just because we didn't need to know.
(03:06) >> Genuinely indefensible, and I love you very much. >> Okay, the thing that would that detracts from this is if you saw me lighting off like fireworks last night like a little tipsy, you'd be like, "Well, [ __ ] this guy." >> Well, this guy could have checked his phone once and just been like, "I'll be there.
(03:19) " >> But but here's the thing, Keith, I did not know where my phone was at that point. >> Yeah, [laughter] you still don't. You still don't. >> Well, Tamari. >> Andy, did you are you wrapped? >> No. >> Okay. >> How much more you got? A couple days? >> Uh yeah, three more days. >> Oh, three more? >> Three more days? >> That's good.
(03:36) >> A lot of people thought Andy was in a great mood the last podcast. A lot of people were like, "Oh my god, episode 160 answers the question, how many of these we have to do before Andy likes it?" >> [laughter] >> That's not true. >> He hit that a while ago. It was a It was a real one and done. >> I thought the last two episodes he was in a great mood.
(03:52) >> Yes, you >> were Have I made the observation that you were like Robert De Niro in Awakenings? We had a like brief moment where you were like catching baseballs and stuff. >> of feel like me being in a good or not good mood based on like the the vibe in the pod is basically like I'm the Richard Dreyfuss in What About Bob? >> I see you. Yeah.
(04:09) >> You know what I mean? And like if you're watching the movie, you're just like this poor [ __ ] guy. But if you don't see what's happening >> You're the Charles Grodin in Clifford. >> No doubt about it. >> [laughter] >> By the way >> Shout out Clifford. Go see Clifford. Shout out Clifford. Go see Clifford. >> Definitely watch Clifford.
(04:26) >> Clifford, yeah, in theaters this weekend. Martin Short, Charles Grodin. Martin Short, this is hilarious. He plays a small, like a maybe a 13-year-old. I don't know where what the target is. >> Younger. Younger. >> Younger. Like a 10-year-old, 8-year-old. He's got a red sweater. It's amazing. You can't believe it's a movie and it's not good, but it's Well, I guess it's what you just said.
(04:46) >> There are moments of absolute inspiration. There's the algorithm every now and then serves me to see him where Charles Grodin is just telling him to act normal. >> Yeah, [laughter] yeah, where he can't He can't make his face normal. It's really something else. >> He's like, "Be a human boy. Be [laughter] a human being.
(05:02) Can you be a >> thing because they've cast a non-boy. >> And so it's so it's like almost He's mad at the director. >> "Can you just be a human being for one second?" [laughter] And it's like Martin Short's eyes just go like, "Huh? Huh?" >> [laughter] >> So go see Clifford this weekend. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, yeah.
(05:20) I'm pretty sure it's back in theaters this weekend, and but you'll have to check your local listings. >> Yeah, do yourself a favor. >> This is very exciting. I'm just going to get into it. Uh you guys know I'm a gearhead. I'm pretty much uh reading Car and Driver first thing Sunday morning. >> Yep. >> Yes. >> New story dropped a couple hours ago.
(05:34) Do you guys know what I'm talking about? Has anybody seen this? >> Is it about Is it about my van? >> Here's the headline. A Lonely Island member bought this sweet dragon-themed JDM key van. >> Oh, [ __ ] I was kidding. >> Full article in Car and Driver >> What? >> about your van. >> No way. [laughter] No, that's not true.
(05:49) >> It is very true. And here, I'll put it in the chat. And by the way, I thought it was just going to be like an aggregated article. That is not what this is. >> Like an AI one where they just kind of [ __ ] around. >> Yeah, no. No, I'm giving out the inaugural quote of the week to Brandon McAleer from Car and Driver.
(06:06) >> Oh, they got This is from the shop and everything. This is cool. This is like I haven't even seen this photo. >> Whoa. Here, can I read you a few lines? >> Please. >> It's a Japanese market Kei Jidosha van, one of the ubiquit- tous little movers, which can be identified by its righteous grill. >> [laughter] >> Oh, [ __ ] >> Uh >> Wow.
(06:31) >> While doing press for Over Your Dead Body, a dark comedy directed by Takone and released last month, he told the story of how he came to own the wacky little van just a couple days having undergone major surgery on his spine and pelvis. While hopped up on heavy pain medications, he jumped on the internet and started browsing for JDM cars.
(06:44) >> [laughter] >> Ordinarily, that'd be the seed of a terrible decision. >> Mhm. >> What's funnier than driving a tiny van around NYC? Driving one that's entirely covered in a dragon-themed livery that's truly kablamo. >> Oh, this is sweet. That's a very That's a real fan. He really is. >> case, it's the kind of burrito-brained move that's endlessly pleasing to anyone who loves when The Lonely Island takes a silly concept and runs with it.
(07:07) >> I feel like my character on the pod is getting a little wackier than maybe I am in real life. Or maybe not. Maybe this is who I am. >> This is amazing. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, it's great. It's It looks awesome. >> It's so tight. Like those pictures are rad. >> Um somebody had one last shout-out that I'm surprised we haven't heard.
(07:22) Maybe we have and I missed it. Name for your van. >> Oh, what is it? >> Dieter Van [ __ ] >> Oh, that's very good. >> [laughter] >> Hard to argue. >> Dieter Van [ __ ] the Dwagon Wagon. >> It's very good. >> be Dieter Van [ __ ] colon, the Dwagon Wagon. >> Yeah. I'm going to run through a few things before we get to just have sex part two.
(07:41) We do know, to our listeners we do know what we're supposed to be doing. >> It's fine. It'll be in the title of the episode. They'll know from that. >> Yeah, that's true. Hey, Mitra Johari, am I saying that right, Andy? Your co-star in Digman. >> Yeah. >> She's so funny. >> Absolutely. >> Somebody said, "Did you notice Mitra was the special guest when Sarah Sherman was on Good Hang with Amy?" So, Mitra like did the calling and asked questions.
(08:04) >> Oh. >> And I don't listen to podcasts. >> Right, right, right. But people said like, "Hey, I can't believe Mitra was on and Amy didn't mention Digman once." >> Yeah, what the hell, Amy? >> What the hell? >> And it really was like I didn't realize the rivalry was still this heated. >> Yeah. >> That like Polar is just definitely trying to like bad hang us at every turn.
(08:23) >> Yeah. She's she's anti-Quade. >> I think if Andy ever starts listening to podcasts, we should stop doing this podcast. >> Oh, yeah. Well, he'll have a lot of notes all of a sudden. >> Yeah, all of a sudden he'll go, "You know what other podcasts do? >> [laughter] >> What they what they do is >> They don't just ramble on for 20 minutes and >> beyond camera and make money? >> [laughter] >> Andy missed it cuz Andy was shooting a movie, but speaking of Polar, me and Schumacher >> I was so bummed.
(08:47) >> saw Dratch, Maya, and Polar. We were supposed to see Anna and Anna got food poisoning midway through a show. >> Yeah, she had to go home. >> That's why when you're on Broadway, whenever I'm on Broadway, I stick to the same meals every day. I figure out what works. Something really basic like a tuna sandwich or something.
(09:05) And >> Well, cuz you learned that from Piven. When when Piven had to miss time with the sushi or the >> That was from the mercury poisoning. >> [laughter] >> You don't want to have a random lunch and then find yourself in the middle of Schmigadoon wanting to take a schmigadump. >> [laughter] >> Tony Award winning schmigapoop.
(09:22) >> Give you always say you got to watch what you eat when you're on Broadway so you don't broader. >> Oh, broader than Broadway. >> Yeah, a lot. >> [laughter] >> The peak Broadway for me is being in a bar and having Dratch and Maya walk in together post show singing on Broadway. >> [laughter] >> Wow. >> And [snorts] in a way, too, like you can do it as loud as you want.
(09:43) Like what person in a Broadway bar doesn't see the two of them singing on Broadway and just break into the biggest [ __ ] grin? >> Yeah, [laughter] that's what you hope happens every night. >> Yeah, that's winning. >> That's winning. >> I thought you were going to say break out in song with them. >> Yeah, you might as well, right? >> I thought you were going to say the entire bar joined suit.
(09:58) Wait, where was it? Was it a Sardi's? Does Sardi's still exist? >> It does, but it was a Well, we'll we'll bleep it. >> Yeah. Okay. >> You know what's not going to work really good for your We love stronts or what what's the name of your website? >> Yeah, yeah. I want stronts. >> we bleep all the stronts? >> Yeah, should we put all the restaurants that we do, but the names are censored >> [laughter] >> on every single one? >> Everything's blurred out? >> Yeah.
(10:21) >> Full description of it. >> [laughter] >> Pictures of the food, but the outside's blurred. >> Why do we gatekeep the stronts? >> I don't know why we're gatekeeping the stronts. You know what? Don't bleep it. Let the world hear where we went. >> Yeah, I like it. It's funnier to gatekeep the restaurants.
(10:35) [laughter] >> We're operating like a Yelp that gatekeeps the restaurants. >> Can I say where I went last night thanks to Seth? >> Yeah, say say where you went last night. >> My dear friend Seth Lee got me a table at one of the hardest stronts in all of New York, even though he wasn't in town. He helped me hook it up. >> Yeah.
(10:51) >> And obviously we'll bleep this, but it was >> Yeah. >> Yeah, I mean and I genuinely I cannot tell everyone on this pod and everyone listening just how happy I was to know I I still had that pull. >> Damn right. >> Yeah, that's cool. >> Yeah, I mean again, it helped that I was like pulling for Andy.
(11:07) Like I mean I dropped your name as well. >> And like hit us in the titties, king of New York, Brunson or Myers? >> [laughter] >> Uh my son told me that he heard from a friend at school that now there's a bodega sandwich called the Brunson because like a kid was interviewing him and he told him what he gets at bodegas. >> Oh.
(11:25) >> I don't believe this is true, but I was told it was. >> So what kind of sandwich? >> At least some bodega. It was like an everything bagel, >> I think. >> Slathered in success. >> You said hit us in the titties. Somebody did uh suggest. It doesn't quite work as well, but I appreciate the effort. Uh ping us in the dingus.
(11:40) >> Oh, I think that actually works quite well. Yeah, we might have to start saying that. >> Well, you have to say like you can't say pingus cuz dingus like Well, no, actually Pingus in the dingus. >> Pingus in the dingus. >> You just can't say dingus. >> Yeah, pingus in the dingus though. >> God, dingus. Highly underutilized.
(11:56) >> Yeah. And I mean, if you're not using it, it might be lost to the world. >> But you got to use it right. You know what I mean? >> Dude, and part of the reason why I was so excited for you to see the van is just to be able to use the word dinky with you cuz I just feel like you like that word a lot. >> It's a dinky doodle.
(12:12) >> Yeah. It's a dinky doodle and it's carrying a little dinky doodle dandy. >> [laughter] >> Uh wait, I got some more before we can just have Seth. Hold on. Oh, um recipes uh >> I just had Seth. >> That is exactly what it sounded like he said. It's weird to say your own name by accident.
(12:32) [laughter] Like I never would be like by accident call one of you Aquiva. That's like the one way I wouldn't slip. >> Do you think Well, there's only one person who could do it, but I don't want to like talk about your personal life, but do you think your wife after she borks you sings I just had Seth? >> Oh, yeah. Probably quietly.
(12:47) While I'm in the bathroom. >> In between sobs, do you think she's [laughter] singing? How old is your youngest, Seth? >> My youngest is uh 4 and 3/4. >> So 4 years ago, do you think she's saying that? >> Yeah, 4 years [laughter] and 9 months. >> 4 + 3/4 + 9 months. Oh, double 3/4. That's 5 and >> [laughter] >> Yeah, thinking back, do you remember her in the shower, honey? >> into my mind palace, my memory mind palace.
(13:11) >> And that was the last time, yes. >> [laughter] >> Can I tell you a very my favorite like economy words comment this week was I just had Shrek's. >> [laughter] >> Fun for the listeners. Three Shrek's. If any Quades want to not using AI or whatever, make a Hutt Rod poster. Java the Hut in hot rod. >> Oh, sure. Yeah.
(13:31) >> We'd love to take a look at that. >> [laughter] >> Mike O'Brien kind of the MVP of last week's pod. >> Oh, [ __ ] >> Did you hear he was he was a he added a goodbye at the end, too? >> I was told and then checked it out, yeah. >> Very funny. >> So, I do remember him. Yeah. >> And somebody said, "I feel like Andy is just learning O'Brien is a real person and not his Tyler Durden.
(13:54) " >> [laughter] >> That's right. >> Oh, I was going to say rest in peace Anne Schedeen who played the mom of Alf. It's very sweet how many people reached out to the pod. >> Yeah. >> Like a very funny lady. She obviously was great on Alf. So, a sincere rest in peace. >> Yes, and we recorded last week's before that transpired, obviously.
(14:12) >> And what's your voice now? >> I don't know. Jeff said that Greg Chun sent something in. So, whenever he does, it seems worthwhile to give it a listen. >> Yeah. Let's do it. >> You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you? Hey, [ __ ] sticks. It's Alf. >> [laughter] >> Now, I was a little myth the first time you had a go at me and Max, but I get it. It's the business.
(14:34) You're doing your thing, but you had to bring that [ __ ] up again, and now I'm [ __ ] pissed. And while we're at it, why don't you lay off of Max, all right? He had a rough go at it. He was a good man, and sure he may have a little cows >> [laughter] >> or cats or two for money, but that doesn't give you THE RIGHT TO TURN HIM INTO A [ __ ] PARIAH.
(14:53) >> [laughter] >> HEY, GO [ __ ] YOURSELF. THIS IS YOUR last warning, all right? Don't you ever talk [ __ ] about me on your show again, or I swear to God I will come down there and gouge out your eyeballs and [ __ ] little alien turds into your sockets. >> I remember Alf cursing to Lex. He broke something. >> But, rest in peace, Anne.
(15:12) >> [laughter] >> That was in her honor? Really good timing. That was a spot on Alf, unsurprisingly. >> Yeah, I know. >> He's very good. >> Guys got the fast >> I kept waiting for him to say the word Willie. I just feel like you have to say Willie. >> Willie. >> Yeah, but he was the real-life Alf, not the Alf from the show.
(15:29) >> Correct. Yeah, the actor Alf. >> Right, right, right, right. >> Alfred. >> Wait, have you guys not actually seen the outtakes of Alf cursing constantly? It's pretty funny. >> Oh. Uh yeah, it's on the YouTube. >> Yeah, it's on the tube. >> Mhm. >> Um somebody added a timestamp to the last week's episode and it was it was helpful cuz I think I just had sex.
(15:45) Maybe some fresh ears showed up to the pod because it's a such an iconic short. >> Mhm. >> And so they uh said for the Quades start at 0 minutes 0 seconds. For the pod virgins 24 minutes 54 seconds. >> [laughter] >> Oh, that's how long it took before we got to business. >> were like, that's when you're not just [ __ ] super confused by the [ __ ] they're talking [laughter] about.
(16:07) >> All right, we are now into uh part two just had sex. And I three comments that are specific to the >> short, but as I'm reading it, it's specific to any of your songs. Question about beats. When you get sent beats by others, are you given some period of time to review and claim them or are they sent around to a bunch people at the same time? >> Mhm.
(16:24) >> Is there ever concern that someone else might be working on a song with the same beat? Or is there a time once you start developing a song that you can claim rights to a beat? >> Mhm. >> Maybe so many beats are circulating at a given time this is never a concern. That's a great question and I don't know the answer.
(16:38) >> Kief, you want to take it? >> Yeah, Kief. >> Yeah, we are concerned and we definitely when we start working on one try to contact the producer immediately to put a hold on it. >> Gotcha. >> And have first dibs and we have gotten into situations in the past where we start on one, call the producer and find out that someone has beaten us to the punch.
(16:57) >> Beating you to the beats. >> Or the most interesting example is on Popstar with Karate Guy >> Mhm. >> where we had fully put it on hold, gotten through a version of the song and then it had taken so long to like put it out because we're making a whole movie that the producer had maybe forgotten. I mean, we weren't mad at them.
(17:16) They just were like, oh shit." So, anyways, there was a song and it has Lil Wayne on it, but it's from a different artist, but I'm blanking who it was at this exact moment. But anyway, so there are two songs out there. Somebody's going to find it for us. And it's Karate Guy and it's the exact beat from Karate Guy.
(17:32) And the way theirs hit was way ahead of us. And the way that the producer and uh everybody gratefully made it work for us is if you look at the credits of Karate Guy, it's as if we sampled their song, this Lil Wayne song. Even though really we both all worked off the same beat. >> beat at the same time, but since his went out first, you had to make it seem >> Yeah, that it was like we had sampled this song.
(17:53) >> Got you. And when you sort of plant a flag on a beat, just to go back to our listeners question, like what is the timeline that a producer will give you? Or is it kind of like a good faith thing of like >> You start working out, I think, the deal. Like, if this song does end up getting released, here's what we'll pay you for it.
(18:10) >> Got it. Got it. >> how many percentage points if if we're going to share some of the ownership or whatever it is, all the details. So, they know, so there gets to be a contract in place. And then they can, I guess, put a time limit on it, but I don't think we usually do because it just takes so long for stuff to come out sometimes.
(18:27) >> But they are being sent to many, many artists all over the world, probably. And I mean, a lot of these producers that we're sort of [ __ ] with are are very high-end producers. So, I don't know if it's like very selective of who they go to or like but >> But it's never there was never a case where a producer's like, "Hey, Lonely Island, here are 20 beats I made for you guys and I love you this.
(18:47) " >> Sometimes sometimes if we've developed a relationship we >> Or we put the word out through our reps like Lonely Island are recording looking for songs and sometimes we'll get tracks from people being like, "Lonely Island demo one, demo two." And it's just so it's ones that they made they got inspired by hearing that we were looking for beats.
(19:04) >> And sometimes we'll actually put the feelers out to be like we want it to be big and anthemic. And it's very rare that we do this, but like we have done it one once or twice. And then the only other beat that I can remember that was I think for Yolo, B.o.B. I think had claimed that beat, and then we had to like uh then sort of negotiate like of can we have it cuz we really love it.
(19:22) >> I think it's pronounced Bob. >> B.o.B.? >> I'm just kidding. >> [laughter] >> Right. Bob, I like it. >> I like when Andy [snorts] like just mid beat pops up for a zinger. >> Oh, no, I'm long done with the beat. >> [laughter] >> But I'm not going to say what happened until the end, obviously. That's what everyone's waiting for.
(19:39) >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know >> I've been trying to figure out what the [ __ ] Wayne song was. >> It's so weird though because randomly the Lil Wayne song was also called Karate Guy, but it was a totally different premise. >> He didn't like to kick it. >> No, interesting. Same title, totally different premise.
(19:55) >> [laughter] >> Um uh Mr. Dobalina, who does Mr. Dobalina? >> Del the Funky Homosapien. >> Yeah, it's Del. Wow, I'm so impressed you knew that, Tev. >> It came on like a a mix, like a hip-hop mix I was listening to yesterday, and it's so much fun. >> I can't believe you know that song. >> That's genuinely really this is so so fun.
(20:14) Uh Bob made me think of it cuz it is pronounced Bob. Uh all right, so we're about to watch. We have not watched I just had sex. But uh one listener wrote in uh Quade said I searched for the song, watch it in preparation for part two, and YouTube's first video result was an ad for a June 25th James Taylor concert.
(20:34) So according to the market group at Live Nation, if you like the Lonely Island Akon and parody raps about intercourse, you will love the harmonically rich and intricate melodies of Sweet Baby James. >> Yeah, that's true. >> How many you guys did two shorts with James Taylor? I can't remember. >> So I believe it's >> [laughter] >> Why I Do It by August Alsina.
(20:52) >> Oh, August Alsina. >> Yeah, I think I found it. Why I Do It. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Why I Do It parenthetical crying. >> This is why I do it. Boom boom boom boom boom. >> This is the right way. >> [music] >> Same beat. >> What the [ __ ] 2 3 4 Oh, go Grizz. >> [music] >> That's what he did to the beat. >> [music] [music] >> I don't think that's real sky.
(21:29) >> [music] >> Let's smash it up. I like to kick it. I'm a karate guy. >> [music] >> This is my karaoke song. >> [laughter] [music] [singing] >> Adding a little animation to any video [music] is such an upgrade. >> And when I say kick it, I don't mean using your foot. [laughter] >> It's not actually the line I had to [ __ ] up our own lyrics.
(22:17) >> No, you're fine. >> Do you think they turned on each other when they heard karate guy cuz it was so much better? >> Why didn't we just do that? >> I told you. >> August Alsina could have easily been like no, that's my beat. He they can't use it. Like I'm sure it had to get all the way to him to have him say, "Oh yeah, that's fine. Let them do it.
(22:35) " Cuz it would be completely within his rights to not let us sample his song essentially to make a whole new song. >> For sure. >> Do you think Monte from Universal Republic had to like get on the phone and be like, "You got to." >> Please August. PLEASE LET THE GUYS. >> I MEAN the real question now is will he be rewarded in this moment and get a massive quomp? >> Right.
(22:52) >> Is there going to be a quomp on the song why I do it featuring Lil Wayne? >> Would you say he's an august gentleman? Is that something you'd say? >> Yes. >> Yes? >> Yes. >> Both of you would. >> Yeah, both you and I, yes. >> Keev wouldn't. >> Yeah, good. >> No, Keith would never. >> No. That's not in my purview.
(23:08) >> Yeah. He wouldn't dare. >> Support comes from Willie's Remedy. Are you tired of waking up hungover and worrying about what happened last night? >> Yes. >> Well, guess what? Guess what?

[music] You don't know how to express yourself, so you just got to sing. >> Look at that beautiful sunset. [laughter] That roof is Look how worth it it was. That roof Look how worth it it was.
(26:58) We got there exactly at the right time of day. Anybody else would assume we're on a green screen at this point. >> video looks. Like I look Look at my hair. That I'm wearing a sweater vest or something. >> Not to wet the palate anymore. It's still 10x better than I Wish It Would Rain, which will be my favorite rooftop shot.
(27:14) >> Yeah. >> Forthcoming. But here, let's start where we stopped, which is it's the coldest day of the year in like [laughter] 12 years. And Yormark and I's faces are frozen. >> Frozen solid. >> my mine is bright red, and that's after the color correct. >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> I remember I always have my shot list when I'm directing with a pen in my pocket, and I take great joy in crossing off shots as we get them.
(27:37) >> Yeah. >> And I remember taking off my glove, and I couldn't get my hand to write. Like it was frozen, it couldn't hold the pen. Literally could not hold it. >> I wish that segment could begin with Burl Ives, as that claymation snowman from Rudolph being like, >> Now, remember, >> [laughter] >> it was the coldest day.
(27:57) >> Oh, it is not a music video look though. Like we're wearing the wackest earmuffs. Every time I see it, I'm like, maybe it would have been worth it to like really pick the shots and then like take them off for 1 second. It's also crazy cuz it looks kind of like green screen. But like the fact that we're on top of the MetLife building.
(28:13) >> That's what I mean. Anything else, this would be a big LED screen or a green screen behind you showing this, but we're just That's just a real shot. >> say one thing? I busted you guys for the earmuffs, and a couple quads said like the earmuffs add to what makes it work so well, which is you guys are like dorky.
(28:29) >> We're definitely dorkier than them. >> it's a reminder you guys aren't like the [ __ ] bone squad. You guys are guys who are like probably had sex once, and you still wear earmuffs. >> Yeah, that's fair. And that, you know, we did kind of want to split the diff. >> Yeah, it's good it's good diff split. >> Thank you so much for saying that.
(28:45) >> Yeah, you're welcome. >> I just had to say. >> [music] >> And you know Best smile on the planet is dude. [ __ ] Chrysler building right behind us, so cool. Yeah, also shh, this Chrysler building are famously kind of litigious that they own the rights to their building being in stuff. >> think that they're going to sue us now? >> Should we just throw in a quick ad so they don't burn us? Uh Chrysler Pacifica. Hey.
(29:10) >> That's what we were talking about. >> Yeah, yeah, that's smart. >> That we just pay we just pay for it right there. >> So, the other thing I remember >> [laughter] >> Just noticing how [ __ ] cold my face looks. >> Yeah, I'm just looking at Andy. >> Me and Akon look very happy. Andy looks like he's going to kill himself.
(29:26) >> I'm in absolute agony. It's 10 below zero. >> It's like somebody just told Andy, you know, in 15 years you're going to be talking about this on a podcast. >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> He's like, oh no. >> He's like, no. >> Look, you can see that what I assume is the Hudson, but I don't know which way we're facing.
(29:41) >> Smokestacks looking dope. >> Yeah, but the other thing I remember, so we're up there. Obviously you were blasting us with lights and these are big heavy lights and it's so windy and freezing. They're like, we can't have anything above like 5 ft up because it could blow off the building >> [laughter] >> and kill people down below because we are on again, I think at the time the second highest building in all of New York City.
(30:05) >> Yeah. >> And, you know, you can't have anything flopping off the side and we had had plans to have things way up high to make things look different. I don't remember what. And this is getting towards the other things that had to go way up high were Andy Yorn and Akon. >> [laughter] >> Which we will get to in a second.
(30:22) >> Yes. Can I just say it does seem like the making of this is like the negative image to the sensation of having sex. >> Yeah, [laughter] just like the least >> It's also weird in filmmaking where sometimes you feel like people are being like nervous nellies and you're like, it's fine.
(30:39) This was like, yeah, don't put the lights up high. It was like, >> [laughter] >> this is so dangerous. >> It felt scary. I mean, look, they're at the edge of the building here. That's just happening. It's not okay. >> [music] [music] >> There they are. >> Can barely move. >> I like seeing this one cuz we can really see.
(31:15) So, we built a platform so that you guys would be higher, which also feels dangerous cuz if you go to the back of that, now you're over the balcony railing. >> That's correct. >> That's >> Ill-advised. >> Ill-advised. >> believe they let us do it, to tell you the truth. >> A big gust of wind would have been our end. >> I'd love to look at a fan edit of this where every time it cuts to a three shot, your arm blows away.
(31:36) >> [laughter] >> Um now, Keys, the editing and the energy of this >> Mhm. >> really works and feels really intentional. But, correct me if I'm wrong, >> Mhm. >> Akon's face was so cold, he couldn't move his mouth to do the lyrics. So, we had to really fudge together each shot to get like the shape of words. >> [laughter] >> And then, anytime he's not on camera, we don't have it, right? >> Yeah, in the chorus.
(32:02) >> Every time he wasn't on camera, you put his head in a microwave? >> [laughter] >> There was a little like, you know, on a roof where there's the top of the stairs where there's one door where you can pop out. There was that, and he would run back into it between these every take. To answer your question, you're correct.
(32:17) And I recall this was one of the earlier videos when cameras got to be 4K instead of 2K >> Yes. >> in terms of the quality. >> We pop in. >> We were like shooting in full 4K, but the show just, you know, broadcast said HD, so we don't need 4K. Ended up being one spectacular take of Akon where he hit it all.
(32:38) And we end up using that for almost everything, cutting in and out of that same one to make it feel like coverage and energy. >> Well, and just to get nerd nerdy for a second, HD quality is just under 2K, is that right? So, basically the math is that if you bump in from 4K to like you double it, you're still at 2K. >> Yeah, we're still at full quality as long as the focus was tech sharp.
(33:02) Yeah, you can blow it up 200% and still be at full quality. >> Not to split hairs, Yorn, but 4 - 2 or 4 / 2 is not that nerdy. >> Well, no. >> He didn't want to get into >> I >> [laughter] >> was shocked, though. >> I mean, like, it's pretty standard math. >> is pretty It's tricky stuff. >> I just mean it's still talking about math.
(33:22) >> Well, HD is a little below 2K. That was where you were crossing it. >> Yeah, that's the interesting part. >> All right, fair dues. >> 7 minutes on your on your tiny tiny wrapped van. It's like, "Hey, uh we might get a little nerdy." >> Fair dues, my brov. My mate, my brov. Fair dues. >> Oh, that's so cool.
(33:38) >> Across the pond. >> [music] >> We're down in Soho, I believe. >> Mhm. >> Or maybe Tribeca, but probably Soho in just a cool apartment they found that we got to like a loft that we just got to use. >> And it was cheap because there was no heat and no windows. >> [laughter] >> Both me and Andy in this video are heavily caked in makeup.
(34:02) >> Yeah, he looks crazy right there. >> I look crazy in this video. Never been happy about it. It was that one first setup. It was way too much. It was someone we hadn't worked with before and it made me look like I had plastic surgery or something. >> We loved working with these music video crews legitimately because we were so used to scraping by at SNL where we were still operating within the cracks of SNL, nothing like how it is now.
(34:22) So, to have dedicated crew to us was always so exciting, but it meant that we were working with people we didn't know who might do something like that. >> I think it's possible that I was like lately sick and/or hung over or tired or something and they were trying to fix that. >> Yes, I think you were. Yeah. >> Yeah, you look like you might have a cold to me.
(34:40) >> I think it's highly likely considering we were on the roof of the MetLife building in -20°. [laughter] >> Mhm. >> And Andy has like no defenses against colds. >> No, you know I'm a fragile little little flower, especially back then. >> It's my worst curse. >> This though I do remember being totally comfortable.
(34:58) It was like just being in a really nice apartment. >> Yeah, it was awesome. >> It was a big space. >> Yeah, we saw we saw both of the bedrooms in here. >> Yeah, we just kind of turned around and used the other side of the same room. >> [music] >> Okay. >> How did that happen? >> day of the show, I think. >> So we've got John McEnroe being the before is he's the meanest and then he turns into a nice man with two thumbs up.
(35:23) >> That's right. >> How? [laughter] >> I'm It's for people What don't you get? What can't you follow? >> A lot of people listen on audio, Andy. Sorry, I forgot we're [laughter] new to this. I'm explaining it for the people that >> Well, also you just like skipped past Blake's first shot. >> Well, we talked about Blake last week a lot.
(35:40) So So what >> idea though where I'm coming in singing and she realizes I've brought a music video into our bedroom and it and quickly covers up, which I think is funny. >> Oh yeah, let's see that. >> [music] >> I brought a music video [laughter] into our bedroom. >> He's like, "What the fuck?" >> That is a surreal moment.
(35:58) >> It is, you're right. >> You You think she wants to share with the world that she just had sex, but it turns out she doesn't. Yeah, she doesn't think that should be public. >> is this song is you are talking to the camera and telling us that you had sex, so she is like, "You clearly brought her like a reality crew in to be like, >> [laughter] >> 'Hey, so what just happened, everybody? Here's the girl.
(36:19) '" >> Not a chill move. >> This is Megan. >> [laughter] >> Uh but yeah, McEnroe, I mean, I'm sure it was just we were thinking about who the meanest is, right? Or who would play as someone who's known for being angry. >> How did it actually happen? Cuz occasionally we put the feelers out to be like, you know, if you're around a crew, like can you just get us this shot real quick? >> No, I guarantee you it was through SNL talent and he was in New York and he just came down and we shot him on a green screen.
(36:42) >> Yeah, but did we actually shoot >> shot him at 30 Rock. >> Got you. >> So he just came by SNL and >> And that was the first of a few times we collabed. >> Yeah, do you think you were doing Never Have I Ever voiceover together? >> [laughter] >> Must have been that or 7 Days in Hell. >> Oh, right. >> Right.
(36:58) So he plays heavily in 7 Days in Hell. >> In theaters now. >> He's the best. >> Yeah, this I'm seeing Clifford in 7 Days in Hell double feature tonight [laughter] at my local drive-in. >> And me, I'm just going to binge Never Have I Ever again. For those that don't know, MacGruber does the voiceover of the main character who is a teenage girl and then Andy guests for a boy that's on the show, a teenage boy, and he becomes his voiceover kind of like conscience, whatever you want to call it, like his his narrator for his episodes.
(37:25) >> Yeah. >> Love that show. Langston Fisher, that's the homie. >> My kids loved it. They've watched the whole series more than once. >> Yeah. >> And the best part is that when really emotional or or huge climax scenes, no spoilers, but like there's a a scene where people are going to lose their virginity and it's under a poster for Popstar.
(37:41) So whenever they're watching it and really into it, then they get taken out of it because it's the poster with all three of our faces. And I get to go, "Hey, I'm I'm right above them. That's me. I'm right above them." >> I know this is shouting myself out, but really I just want to shout out Mindy who uh >> friend of all.
(37:58) There's a poster of me in the dorm room of one of the characters on Sex Lives of College Girls. >> Is that true? >> Yeah, that's how you know it's Game of Thrones type fantasy that a college girl would have a Lay'n' Myers poster. [laughter] But it meant a lot to me cuz I knew >> No, that's awesome. >> I really like that show a great deal.
(38:15) >> Well, congrats, Seth. You just ruined it for us. >> Yeah. >> Guess I won't be watching that one. >> They put everyone up on the walls in those shows. >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> And also by the way, you're at least Popstar had a poster. Like I don't even think like you can get a Late Night with Seth Meyers poster.
(38:29) >> I'm going to look that up. >> Yeah, you were like, "Can I get one of those?" >> Yeah, if you got a prop department, you can get one of those. >> All right, yeah. This is a funny shot of Blake continuing. >> [music] >> So now we got Alba. >> Yeah. That's a good phrase right. >> She's not into my sex moves. >> Straight up blessing us.
(38:55) >> Yeah, [laughter] it's a really good shot. >> You both look great. >> Thumbs up, thumbs down. >> So yeah, you're walking through Is that the edge of Central Park? >> No, this is lower down in in the city. I feel like we like jumped out and got this. >> Yeah, yes, we did not There was not a lot of planning.
(39:11) We knew that that was a really flexible one. It's the one in the treatment that we were like, "Nope, we did that somewhere else." >> And just I can't say again for a music video, you rarely see the city this gray and wet. >> And empty. There's not another human being in it. >> gray, wet, just like muted colors. >> Yeah.
(39:29) And then I'm just popping like out of the frame. It's also funny because those are my clothes. Like the fact that we had like an actual music video crew and then this is just >> just wearing your clothes. >> wearing my clothes. >> like walking to work. >> And it's >> [laughter] >> It's so >> regular. >> And just to get back to what Seth said last episode, the overview.
(39:46) We want this to look and feel like a real Akon video. >> [clears throat] >> I don't remember the ones where he's walking around like just a damp, dark city. >> [laughter] >> Happy and fun. >> Yeah. >> Close enough. >> Yeah, they're usually more in like Turks and Caicos or something, you know? >> Mhm. >> Yeah, sure. >> At least Miami.
(40:04) >> This looks like a German television show. >> This just looks [laughter] like he's he's in Frankfurt. >> It does look very Eastern block. >> But like not on film. This is like how they used to do TV behind the Iron Curtain. >> Yes, it just looks like he's doing a travelogue show. He's like, "In Frankfurt, any day you can walk [laughter] around the inner city.
(40:25) " >> If you go in early December, you can get a reservation. >> [laughter] >> Exactly. It's not the tourist time. You see the streets are empty and it's quite cold. >> [laughter] >> It's also like, "Here's how to buckle your seatbelt on the airplane." >> Exactly. >> It was It was nice with these long one-er steady cam shots because you as soon as we got them we're like, "Okay, good.
(40:44) " That's like the cuz right this this follow into uh meeting my parents. >> Yeah, let's see what this whole shot is. >> [music] [music] >> So I mean I think like that's basically like a one-er of like I do that whole little verse. We obviously have all the little cutaways from all the >> And you think we're just doing the punch-in trick on that and not even Do we think we did a close and a medium or >> Yeah, I mean this this punch-in was obviously a separate occasion.
(41:14) She looks pretty um German as well, my mom. >> Yeah. And that building behind you could easily >> Yeah. Nobody has that shirt in Germany, the dude shirt. No. It's not It's not happening in Germany. That's how I know. That's how I know this is fake. This is not a German television show. >> And Yoram, just cuz we're freeze-framed on the end of this parents shot, do you feel like maybe you're a little too handsy with both of them? >> [laughter] >> This This was a different era, Andy.
(41:37) >> Okay. Let's [laughter] screen grab this. Let's screen grab this and if you were If you were in the game in early odds, was this too handsy? >> Remember it cost like 30 30,000 dollars to put all those Beetlejuice trees behind you. But [laughter] we thought it was important for the story. >> We were like >> That's what he spent the money on.
(41:58) You mean the Beetlejuice trees? >> [laughter] [gasps] >> It just fit the vibe so well. >> [music] >> Why are you coming out of the women's room? >> Had sex in the bathroom. He's just >> in the life. He's in the bathroom [laughter] for a >> It's It's implied in the song. >> Also, why are you in the same outfit as Yorm, almost identically? >> Cuz we're just two regular guys that can't believe our luck.
(42:23) >> You [clears throat and laughter] knew if you doubled up the clothes for the same same look, you would have money for treats. >> By the way, again, these are my actual clothes, 100%. That was my flannel and jacket. Can't speak to the T-shirt. >> implying though that you had sex in the bathroom in this shot? >> Yeah, and are we in a Starbucks, like proper, or is this just a cafe? >> I think we might be in a Starbucks.
(42:42) >> Yeah. >> [music] >> That's a real Andy face. >> Blake's really selling that, too. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, I look like the Grinch. [clears throat] >> Oh, and Alfred Hitchcock makes an [laughter] appearance. >> Yeah, yeah. >> With a hairnet. >> This is my flipping copies, you know, just as important Tom on a boat as the >> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(43:01) >> as the non-performing third member. >> Right, except for I'm still a scrub, too. You look cool as [ __ ] >> [music] >> I mean, because we don't do a wide of the cafe, the idea that like you came out of the bathroom and were the baristas or whatever behind the counter at like a Starbucks is kind of lost. >> Yeah.
(43:23) >> Was that the intention? >> Yeah, cuz otherwise why are me and Yorm dressed like that out of nowhere? >> Yeah, we're at the coffee shop. >> We're there. We're behind the counter here, and I think if you could let the shot go a little longer, you're making your way over revealing us standing there. >> Yeah. >> And then Yorm starts his line.
(43:38) >> Yes, and I think it just in editing, it's one of those things where we were like, "Oh, it took too long. It never quite matched. Didn't have the energy. [ __ ] it. Just cut to >> we go back to Blake, probably. >> Right, right. That was probably the moment when it revealed us. >> And you're like, "Do we want to do this neat shot, or do we want to get more of Blake Lively in the video?" And the answer is clear.
(43:57) >> on two levels, though, because are we implying that he had sex in the bathroom, too? Oh, hey, didn't see you today. >> I think that's the start of it is we are implying >> So, you had sex twice? >> Uh it's a new verse, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Whoa! Well, well, okay. So, now that's hella interesting. >> I think that that whole song is celebrating one sexual encounter.
(44:15) >> So, he's it's the same sex and now he's just like continuing the thought, but also during Yorm's verse and the chorus he went to the bathroom and now he's picking it back up. >> Yeah, the women's room. I don't know. >> So, maybe my thing is you're actually such a dork that you have had sex and now you're like got like a little bit of brain fog and you accidentally walked into the women's bathroom.
(44:35) >> Brain fog? >> [ __ ] I was hoping nobody caught it. >> I just had sex with my brain fog. >> [laughter] >> All right, here we go. >> Stumbling. >> Stumbling. #stumbling. >> Are you at her house or your house, you know? >> I think. >> Just asking because of this this kind of bear and seahorse or giraffe. >> Giraffe, yeah.
(44:58) Giraffe with a bandage on its neck. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, and the otter or bear here is getting an idea. He's got a little >> it for your art podcast. >> Okay. [laughter] >> This is in Central Park. >> Central Park, yeah. >> Now, did you think we went to Central Park being like, "Oh, let's go to this." Or did we just go and go, "We'll find something.
(45:13) " >> Uh, that would be a question for you. Did you scout it? If not, then >> we loosely scouted this area and the little um stage area that's right near here, the little like uh clamshell. >> Do you think you were like, "Should we go somewhere where maybe some hobos have a fire in an oil drum?" Just for heat? >> This is classier than that.
(45:30) Look how classy this looks. >> During the day it wasn't as bad. Like you were literally like, "It's so cold, let's get out of the cold." >> It's normal like New York at its coldest here though as opposed to at night where >> Well, cuz yeah, right. You you came down from the heavens. >> Yeah. >> But yes, this location obviously has been shot before, but the ceiling is so [ __ ] rad.
(45:47) >> Yeah, the production value of just that it's a place you can just walk to in New York. >> Kev, what is the name of our steady cam dude who's so [ __ ] rad? >> Steady Phil. >> Oh, Steady Phil. [ __ ] yeah, of course. Steady Phil. Like Steady Phil, our steady cam op was [ __ ] incredible and he would do these insanely long takes.
(46:02) These would be full steady cam shots like for you know four minute shots that he would very very handy. We couldn't have gotten through this without him. >> Definitely. Keith, what was his last name? >> I I don't know. >> No, his first name is Steady. His last name is Phil, right? >> That was my recollection, but then I feel like Keith was like no, that's not right.
(46:19) >> [laughter] >> Do you know Rachel tell us? >> I mean we really did it with the Irish bar and our Armageddon shot. >> Nobody's enjoying it. >> Not yet. >> No, no, they're watching it >> like they're watching a new >> They're watching a new story about like Armageddon that's going to >> Yeah, there's an asteroid headed towards Earth was the tone we were giving everyone.
(46:40) Be like okay, now act like you're seeing the craziest like Earth-shattering news. >> [music] >> Why are you guys having a spa day? Just treating yourselves. >> deserve it. >> It's a celebration. >> Cuz we're so happy. Yeah, it's like now we got a dish. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Great [laughter] look. >> Great look. >> It's very nice. >> Keith working that petty.
(47:01) >> Keith back. Working the petty. Keith working the petty in his aviator. >> Yeah, yeah. >> Now is that your I think that's Yorm's foot, right? Or is that my foot? >> I can't tell. >> I think that's mine. >> hit us in the titties. Whose foot do you think that is? >> Yeah, zing us in the dingus.
(47:14) Was that what it was? >> All right. Let us know who's this in the toes-us. >> It wasn't zingus in the in the dingus, was it? Was it pingus in the dingus? >> Hingus in the dingus. >> Zingus works, too. >> Yeah. >> But ping ping makes sense cuz ping is you know the >> Yeah, pingus, yeah. >> [music] [laughter] >> Now, these people >> Times Square.
(47:35) >> There's no way we had this many extras. >> petties. >> Are some of these people normal tourists? >> Yes, they are cuz I remember that we actually just collected people and then we got like NDAs like the last time. >> doing it with like a core group and then as more people come over to just looky-loo, we'd be like no, no, come get in the shot. Just get in.
(47:54) So, you're all looking up at this billboard like it's news. And so these are just people that were in Times Square. >> And let me just say shout out to Times Square because if you said to a casting person, get me a diverse group of people, you could not do better than this random group of people that was in Times Square when you were shooting.
(48:07) >> Just all there in the tickets line for Broadway shows. >> And all did it. Like none are looking down the lens or anything. >> Yeah, they're all really good. >> Yeah. I also really like that what they're looking at in Times Square is me and you are in a spa with little robes and towels on. >> [laughter] >> Like the most mundane >> Is that a good >> mundane conversation? [laughter] >> They're like we have to stop everything we're doing to check out this news.
(48:33) This hot gossiping dog. Ooh, this is intriguing. >> I mean in the minds of these guys, it's this worthy, you know? The news is this worthy. >> It's also interesting that we didn't put like a ticker on the bottom like as if it was a news story like dorks have sex or whatever. >> Oh, that we should have done that. >> op.
(48:50) >> Yeah. >> Cuz there's no audio in Times Square. You're not you can't hear what the TVs are doing. >> Yeah. >> So they're just they're just glued to your faces talking. They're like these guys are saying something. >> Yeah. It's a missed op. And speaking of ops, Keef, you got a message for your ops? >> Uh maybe like, "Hey, I'm all right.
(49:07) " >> Okay, great. Let's jump back in. >> [laughter] >> Uh we got the Addams Family, we got Jersey Boys, we got Wicked. I mean these things >> Yeah, I was going to say shout out to Jersey Boys and Wicked. I think both still running. >> This could be today. These are all very popular things. >> Good for them. >> And even up top on the ticker it says over monetary tightening.

Was that in >> No, it was a location. >> Yeah, we just went to a nail salon and then obviously smoked the hell out of a room. >> Oh, are Are trying to make it look like we're doing like a schvitz? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(49:53) >> Yeah, like a steam room. >> We're no longer at the Manny Petty. >> No, you've moved on. >> Copy you. >> I like to go from a shot like us in a steam room to then you sitting in bed next to a pile of manure. >> Yeah. >> It's not like a great look. >> It's yeah. I remember the steam room because it was really decidedly not one.
(50:13) It was just like a white bench pushed in front of a white wall and we were just like we can make it work if we just >> what I mean. Like I thought they like built it a little bit or something. >> Our first of two steam rooms in our videos, right? Cuz isn't there one in Yolo? >> Yeah, with all the piranhas. >> That's more of a sauna.
(50:28) >> That one we built. >> Yeah, that was a build. >> Yeah, you can actually see the door handle behind you. >> And was the pile of manure a build or was that pre-existing? >> We're just in a hall of somewhere. Look, that's just a door. You wouldn't have a door in a steam room. >> Yeah, I would.
(50:42) How else are you going to get out? >> Yeah, come on, dude. Guess what? I'm in the future, you just burned to death. >> [laughter] >> You just died of dehydration. >> Put a door in your steam room. >> [ __ ] you. >> Not behind you, that's an all white one.

Now, of course, it is everywhere.
(51:46) You can't imagine what it was like the night they first saw >> are looking not great. >> It is the classic turtleneck and chain look, but the sunglasses are more space hog. >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> I was trying to put a term that would fit to it, but you know that space hog. >> Yeah, we all remember space hog. >> Yeah, we look way cooler than >> Yeah, all right, Andy.
(52:08) You can pick anything. Favorite space hog song all time. >> But did can you say what the title of that song is? >> Mhm, it's got that funky little bassline in the beginning. >> In the meantime, rub me up, right? >> Yeah. >> When the sun is blue. >> Space hog. >> Oh, they have In the meantime, yeah. >> In the meantime. >> Yeah, [laughter] it goes beep boop beep.

[laughter] >> THIS IS A TOTAL UH left turn, but I have a friend who uh will sometimes say I'm going to surprise you in New York City, and the way you will know I'm surprising you is you will hear the beginning of In the Meantime by Space Hog.

This is how [clears throat] it's known in the lore where he's like, I'm going to get every one of you, and I was like in my apartment with a roommate who didn't know him, and all of a sudden I heard that song, and I was like, why are you playing that song? He's like, I've always liked it.

(57:19) >> They did a great job. >> Iconic frame if you're on YouTube. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Iconic frame.

(57:40) >> We might have also just reframed a big wide shot and made it all sky and then done it later. >> No, I think we knew it. >> We definitely were still in the mode of like you want specialty visual joke shots, right? >> Yeah, yeah. >> Yeah, well, with the cake and everything. >> Mhm, exactly. The cake and the skywriting.
(57:56) >> Not to mention you guys' epic high five. >> Thank you for acknowledging >> I mean, we had to we had to kind of pad it a little bit cuz this this song has less less visuals. >> [music] >> Just cuz, you know, you're always just looking at yourself. Go back to the last shot of Akon singing and I'm just adjusting my my earmuffs the whole shot.
(58:20) >> [laughter] [laughter] >> So cold. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, just like >> [sighs] [gasps] >> Let's get out of here. >> This crying shot of you on top of Blake crying is >> She's she's just wincing. >> one of the most quintessential Andy >> Yeah.

Also, very good instinct by all parties not to have our friend Jessica Alba in the two-shot.
(59:05) >> That's right, yeah. >> This is a solo Yorn. >> This was done without her there. I just realized that I'm playing our version of the post, but I should be playing bass and L one, so we're hearing laughs this whole time. >> Raucous laughs. >> Should we do another episode? >> Yeah. >> [laughter] [music] >> Oh, somebody some sparklers there.

(59:50) >> [laughter] >> Actually playing the same role as the commissioner of the Sex Olympics in both. >> Oh, interesting. [laughter] Got it. Yeah. >> These are the same Beetlejuice trees, but we moved them around a lot cuz when you spend that much money, you try to get them in a lot of shots. >> You got to get them as much use as possible.
(1:00:05) >> saying no [ __ ] leaves, no [ __ ] leaves. >> Nothing says a fun and happy video look than just uh being basically in a cemetery. >> Yeah. >> Uh the Sex Olympics banner real despite how CG it looks. Yeah. >> Cuz that looks less real than the skywriting. >> I know. >> That is definitely >> But it is real. >> I mean, it's because of the font is so like fake 3D lettering on the S especially that it looks a little fake, but no, we really hung that.
(1:00:32) They really had to have pulled those cables and [ __ ] >> Someone somewhere probably has that or it's in like a closet somewhere. >> It's probably at Paul Rudd's house. >> Yeah, it's at the wall. >> We'll never know. Too embarrassed to hang it. >> both got gold medals. That's so great. >> Yeah. Congrats. >> This certainly went better than the Space Olympics.
(1:00:48) >> [laughter] >> What about the Space Hog Olympics? Booyah. >> Oh, now we're getting into >> Booyah. >> [music] >> The fact that that's real is so crazy. >> It's so crazy. >> So, key change. >> Yeah, on the key chain, but the fact that Akon just flew off the second highest building in New York to go even higher.
(1:01:09) >> Yes. So, why don't you explain how we did it and what's happening? >> So, there's it's a jib arm, right? >> Giant jib arm. >> Giant with like >> Huge. >> of um thing that you might see a construction worker on to like change a light bulb on a street lamp like a basket. I don't know how we got it up there.
(1:01:28) Must have been a service elevator in pieces. >> They had to like pull it with pulleys. >> It was brought up in pieces through a freight elevator and then they built it up there. >> On top of the MetLife building on the windiest freezingest day of the year. >> probably 3:00 in the morning at this point. >> Yes. >> crazier than that though because we got service elevators, right? There's there's one level and then there's a level above that level.
(1:01:50) So they had to pull everything up with like pulleys and everything and then build it on top of the secondary level that It's so dangerous. >> That's true. The elevator does not go to the roof. >> Yeah. >> And then also that we were too scared to put lights high cuz they could blow off the roof, but we put you guys high. >> Oh yeah.
(1:02:05) >> This was so scary. So he's on a little chair that's floating up so the shot is the three of us and then he just starts to lift out of the frame. >> [music] [music] >> All right, now people are really uh >> Yeah. Even the girls. >> The key change gets everybody out their seat and everyone's feeling good about it now.
(1:02:28) >> Yeah, this family >> to be a huge drag as you guys explain how uh risky that shot was and all the pieces to it. Definitely when I watched it, I thought the camera moved and you guys just like knelt down. >> Yeah, that's right. >> Yeah. Yeah, again unnecessary. >> let's see if any of the shots ended up making it clear what was happening.
(1:02:46) >> [music] [music] >> All right, so >> There's one of me on the TV that I'm doing it, but there's it's not necessary. >> you can't tell. >> Yeah. >> But so we're loving Blake and Jessica getting into it and grooving. >> Yeah. >> I'm loving bag on his head version dancing. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's good shot. >> The Irish bar singing.
(1:03:11) >> We got all the people in Times Square. You see they're all doing their waving their hands in the sky like at a concert back and forth. >> A lot >> detail work to give it all the energy. >> Yeah. >> Also, if we didn't need me saying everybody sing, we could have probably seen Akon rising all the way up. >> Yeah.
(1:03:25) >> And maybe that was a mistake. >> [music] [music] >> Alba really whipping her ponytail in my face with that one. >> Back to Macenroe. >> Macenroe's back, yeah. And then what's next? >> Keith on Times Square. And then Keith saying Oh, we got So who we got our two producers rubbing our back shirtless? >> Yeah, so that's Rob Smythe.
(1:03:52) And then I recognize his face, but I'm blanking. It's been so long. Remember? >> homie. >> Yeah, Rob Smythe's friend. >> 15 years ago. >> Rob Smythe, we shot so many videos with Rob Smythe. >> All right, so that's you Andy on yours, but again, we could just be faking it with the camera angle so easy. >> Yeah. >> In terms of you right there.
(1:04:10) That's you on the thing. >> me like 30 ft above the top of the roof of the building. >> Yeah. >> And like definitely after each take being like, "Holy [ __ ] I swore I was about to die." >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> You're like, "But tell me it was worth it, Keith. Tell me it was worth it." >> And then so Keith, tell me tell me how we shoot this a different way where you then could be like, "It was worth it.
(1:04:33) " >> I mean, now you would just send a drone up to get the background and then we would just be on a inside a sound stage. >> No, but you do this for real. >> no, I mean practically. >> How would you be able to tell? >> That it's real? I think it has to be a one-er like the end of that Bjork video that Spike Jonze did.
(1:04:49) >> Right. Either that or we had a secondary crane and that's getting footage of you. So it's spinning like as he's going up, you're also spinning. >> Problem is that the the look of you having to be strapped to this chair is not cool-looking. So we can't go wider to like show holy [ __ ] he's doing it cuz you'd be like, "Why is he sitting in a bizarre chair strapped in?" >> you would have got more parallax though.
(1:05:09) So like if if the one camera is going as he's going and you're zipping past that it would look cooler. >> If they're not attached to each other. But still you would just think we faked it because of the nature of how tight it has to be. >> Yorm, can I say something? >> Yeah. >> I was genuinely impressed by your use of the word parallax.
(1:05:26) >> I was, too. >> Yeah. >> Thanks, Andy. >> I was like, "Nice." >> Well, I was trying to make up for the whole 2 + 2 is 4 thing, so. >> [laughter] >> But honestly, if it was a one-er where you guys are walking on the roof and then at a certain point we don't see how you get strapped in because we're in the same medium and then you start lifting up and are flying, then people would know it's real.
(1:05:46) You know what I mean? >> Yes. >> Yeah, man. >> But it has to be a one-er. >> Well, it was also so weird because it was like you were strapped into the chair, which is supposed to imply safety, but then as soon as you're up there you're like, "The whole [ __ ] thing's going to go over." So, it's not going to matter.
(1:05:58) You're just going to be strapped to this [ __ ] chair and then fly off the roof. It was fun, though. It was fun. Got your blood going. >> Oh, there's there's the wide shot of that. That was going to >> Yeah. >> And I'm guessing this is the last time we did a shot of us all just staring at the camera and nodding. >> Uh then, you know, never say never.
(1:06:17) We've got more videos to watch. >> And I remember you guys, remember you made a big deal out of it the next Monday. You were like, "Hey, we're not going back to that well." >> Don't ask us to >> [laughter] >> just look down the lens and nod anymore, okay? We're out on that. We've grown as artists. >> And and and maybe put 2% less makeup on us.
(1:06:34) >> [laughter] >> We did used to, as we were developing our style, say, "Okay, if it's a joke shot, we always make sure we get it in slow motion not saying the lyrics." So, you have a break from watching somebody say words to you, but you definitely see that employed here with tons of shots like this one and the cake and the high five, you know, where if it's a joke, you know, all the ones of the um crying over Blake or whatever, they're all [clears throat] slow-mo and they're all without lyrics being said.
(1:07:01) >> Yes. >> Keev, is there is there a certain speed of slow-mo that you like for these kinds of shots? What are we shooting at? 60? What are we >> I feel like we would always go way slower than we needed to and then realize we needed to speed it back up. Like 48 never seemed slow enough, so we would do 96 and then we'd get an edit and realize we had so little time to show what happens that we'd end up speeding it up some.
(1:07:21) >> And what about the parallax? >> Yeah, what about that parallax Key? >> The parallax of view. Um, yeah, I love I love parallax, you know, you feel the background going one way, the characters going the other way. >> thing. If you shoot at 30 frames and then speed that up, like is it if you use that as the your slow-mo, it gives this really nice just ethereal little something. So.
(1:07:40) >> Yeah, that is a nice little tidbit. >> Very nice. >> All right, this again, everyone's heard us talk about how we didn't have the like cruise that they have today with VFX people and stuff, which we didn't. There was no way for us to get the shot done. It's way more complicated than you would think.
(1:08:02) Obviously, there's nothing they just did this pose and we said, "And then we'll put fireworks." Everyone's like, "How?" Cuz you need the fireworks going at the exact right angles for the shot in the exact right ways and it wasn't just putting it like no one could figure it out. And the Katy Perry fireworks video had come out earlier that year or maybe the year before and was just a huge deal and if you recall, fireworks come out of the chests of everybody >> Right.
(1:08:25) >> in that video over and over. That's a, you know, million dollar whatever it cost. Dave Meyers, who is the biggest music video director ever, directed huge video. So, I was like, "How did they do it?" And I cold called Dave Meyers' production company. He had or has a video production company called Radical Media and I knew that and I called the front desk and just explained who we were and that we were at SNL and we were on a super tight thing and I need to get to Dave Meyers to ask him how he did the shot ASAP. And she said, "Hold." and
(1:08:58) basically got me his email, like got permission to give me his email. And I cold emailed Dave Myers and he was like wrote back pretty quickly explaining that it was a company out of Texas that did the VFX work and that they had gone to Budapest and shot for two nights different fireworks going off for the plates over black.
(1:09:18) Like that's how much money they had. They were a team could just go out and shoot fireworks. So they had all this stuff. And so then he got me in touch with them. This is all within like 48 hours of the video coming out. And I'm talking to these guys in Texas explaining what we're doing and they're super down to help. Just God bless them.
(1:09:34) Like that sounds so fun and cool. It's SNL. Send us the shot. So we found the shot way before we had even edited the video. I sent them the shot and they went back into their hard drives and found the plates from Budapest and made us this shot and gave it to us on like Saturday afternoon. >> So [ __ ] nice of them. >> So nice.
(1:09:53) So generous with their time to do that. >> So awesome. >> I remember we sent them a bottle they I asked them if we could pay and they I don't think we paid them anything. They were like, "No, we're good. It was just for fun. We love like it was cool." And I think we sent them like a bottle of champagne with a big thank you. >> stories like this when Akiva gets super motivated to just track some [ __ ] down, figures out an idea, is like, "That's what we got to get exactly that.
(1:10:15) " Makes it happen. Like and again, like he's talking about in 48 hours. It's not a like it's like to do all that within the time that we had. >> people that I would assume don't work on Saturdays generally. >> No. No, yeah, it's amazing. Can you go back to 1:53? Somebody wrote something that I was curious about.
(1:10:31) So it's when Andy puts his headphones up. Their question was it looks like it's in reverse. Like the way your hood comes up, they asked, "Is this shot played backwards?" Cuz your hood flips up so fast it looks like it's coming down. Just watch it again. >> Oh. >> The hood just like flips up in a weird way. >> Yeah, it is your hood, right? To get warmth.
(1:10:48) >> Hey Keve, I figured out the name of the company that gave you the fireworks, Radium, a real VFX company from Dallas, Texas. >> Yeah. >> So shout out those guys. This is very nicely. >> Yeah, that does ring the bell, as they say. >> Yeah, it's just a hood flipping up. >> The way it flips up, I can see why they asked if it was played backwards, which clearly wasn't, but that thing goes flying up.
(1:11:08) >> Yeah. >> We got to get into those into the footage. >> Yeah, but we definitely did not do anything backwards. That'd be impossible for us at that point. Not impossible, but you know what I mean? Like >> Right, right, right. >> with these two guys moving forward, cuz I was going to say, what if we had split screen Andy and put him in but there's no way with all the Yeah. parallax.
(1:11:25) >> Dang. >> That we could handle that. >> He just let's just say parallax a lot. >> There is no way though. >> Oh, okay, yeah, parallax. Now that you're credit for it, he's just going to keep going back to the parallax well. >> I You guys have been saying it. >> The way that the background is genuinely parallaxing, there's no way like we would been able to like cut Andy out.
(1:11:42) And if we did cut Andy out, we wouldn't have put in a version of Andy where he's [ __ ] with his earmuffs. Anyways, good question, but no. >> Good question. >> You guys the caterer just got here for round two of the party. >> Oh, oh, it's >> like and then tomorrow, come on by for some brunch. >> I got to I got to blast some tunes too, cuz these jokers look like they're not having a good time.
(1:12:02) >> I just want to point something out. Seth just texted me that he got Queen B during the pod. >> Oh, fascinating. No. [laughter] >> Well, cuz it was wrapping up and I was close. I was close and I felt like I could get it. >> Guys, is there any truth to the rumor that he requested you guys change it to the Lauren May Island? >> [laughter] >> That's actually in the the documentary, Lauren, now on Peacock.
(1:12:25) >> Oh, he says he wants it to be the Lauren May Island. >> Yeah, it's just footage they had. They actually caught the moment he asked. >> Oh, and then there was like that 6-minute scene where he's like talking to the rest of the staff, like, should I even mention it? Is it dumb? >> [laughter] >> Cuz people they already put out one album, will it be confusing? >> Uh all right, hey, uh Jack Black checking in.
(1:12:53) >> One hint. >> WHAT? >> [screaming] [laughter] >> ONE [ __ ] HINT. >> CAN I GUESS THE WORD? >> YEAH, guess the word. >> Log roll. >> Yes. >> All right. That was my last one. >> So, that was your last one, but you used hints, obviously. >> So many. >> Log roll. >> I was clean, could be clean, clean B, and then couldn't get log roll, had to get the know that it was an L.
(1:13:21) >> Yeah. >> Andy, do you ever when you do no hints, do you ever say to yourself, no stems, no seeds, no hints? >> Oh, like Lauren. [laughter] No, but I will now. >> Okay. Okay. >> That's a good one to say. >> And your >> Yes. >> Did you get nice? >> Uh I will. I'm going to go poolside and then I'll see if I can get to solid today, but we'll I'll let you know next >> you worked real hard.
(1:13:40) You had a wedding and fireworks and all this stuff. >> That's the thing. That's the thing. I still do not know where my phone is, guys. It's hard to do the B when you don't have a phone. >> So, I guess we can't do like a future Bora until we know for sure you get nice. >> Right. >> You're reducing me to nice. I usually get solid, bro.
(1:13:58) >> Yeah, but when you got nice, you went, that's a nice. >> Oh, that's a nice. >> It's a solid. >> He doesn't say it's a solid. >> I could ask Sasha to send us a solid. >> Isn't nice one word? >> [laughter] >> I will tell you the biggest burn I got yesterday was that I didn't get non word as one of my words. >> [laughter] >> That's cuz the amount you're like, well, that's not a word.
(1:14:21) >> [laughter] >> Why? >> Um Oh, yeah, there was a crossword day. I mean, not really, but there were three that could have been shadow assists. Well, one was Bay Area airport code, but then it was SFO, so that that's not that's like almost a slap in your face, right? >> I think any reference to the Bay Area is a a Winter Soldier.
(1:14:39) >> Okay, so we have there's three Winter Soldiers in this. It was a Bay Area airport code. >> Mhm. >> Blank recall. >> I saw that. I was like, oh, they winter soldiering again." And then my Bay Area, which is rival of a raven, and it was Steeler. >> I did see Steeler. >> So, that's kind of triple triple winter.
(1:14:56) >> Yeah. They're up in our heads. >> Um well, this was just a delightful >> We all buckies. >> We all buckies. Um look at that. I mean, real real strong part two of just had sex. And uh hey, by the way, happy Father's Day. >> Happy Father's Day, Jeff. >> Happy Father's Day. >> We all did. We all had sex. >> I might take the kids to Costco.
(1:15:18) >> [laughter] >> Oh, that is traditional. >> Do it up. >> And Keith, before we go, any any message for your ops? >> Just give me another shot, guys. I'm all right. >> [laughter] >> Uh love you guys. >> Love you, Seth. >> Love you guys. Later, Arnold. >> Later, Quaid. >> Later, Ghostface. >> Later, Quaid. >> Later, Jack.
(1:15:38) >> Later, Quaid. >> Later, Jack doing Ghostface. >> Later, Quaid. >> Later, O'Brien. >> [laughter] >> Oh, so you do remember my name.
