Listener Q&A Episode 3 | The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast Episode 41

[@jasonmurdoc9533]

Anyone else finally getting excited for the weekly uploads just to get this drought? 😂

[@gratefuljackal8183]

This pod takes under 5 minutes to get rid of a headache and a crappy day at work. Please stretch it out and keep doing it for a long time, we really need this. 💙

[@cacacalr]

I love how Akiva always plugs up his opinions with us in the end. As Andy said in The Compliments (feat. Too $hort) dude is thoughtful as fuck.

[@du_vee]

Hey Seth I would like to note that in a 2016 interview you did with Howard Stern along with Bill Hader & Fred Armisen, Fred tells a Prince story and you interject with a “it should be noted”. The well runs deep on this phrase.

[@canadaclaret]

"stop talking like a dummy" as a synopsis of My Fair Lady is an golden comment.

[@kayco2221]

Would love to see the lonely island on a Seth goes day drinking segment!

[@Robert-pl8sz]

Olyphant needs to be there too!

[@aenematron]

Blown away by a Mr. Show season 1 reference, performed verbatim.

[@HoraceInkling]

Do you think we’re far enough away from Mr. Show’s ending to finally say “underrated gem” when talking about it?

[@PeakBumble]

Wasn't prepared for the milk machine song or for the ultra specific wave of happiness it gave me.

[@trentonbaird8956]

@@HoraceInklingpretty sure “underrated gem” was applicable even when it aired. 😂

[@mikequinlivan8842]

I was so jazzed to hear him talking about the hated milk machine. 🤣

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I’m very happy Akiva added his thoughts ❤ I love you guys. Thank you for a healthy example of friendship and communication.

[@romanticstylezz]

the bromance is really strong on this one (i love it, please continue)

[@nostalgiahappy4429]

Andy mentioning The Joke:The Musical from Mr Show has made my year!!! 🥛🥛🥛

[@Hugh_Jas]

You guys can't just start busting out Swedish Chef like that, I nearly choked to death.

[@olygal]

I have never heard a mr. Show reference outside of my family! My heart is so happy

[@movielibrary3608]

I def didn't need Mr. Mops explained, great callback and I'm still smiling about Seth's observation about therapy talk trickling down to casual idiots. My mom said she wanted her ashes mixed with a long predeceased person's ashes. I pointed out that it wouldn't be right unless (while alive) the person had a) consented to that and b) expressed they even liked my mom at all... she said "But that's my boundary."

[@TomPrizeman]

I’ve been waiting for the podcast on my favorite short, Space Olympics, for 5 weeks now. I fear I may die before we ever get the episode. Every Monday I open the podcast app and silently cry as the words space Olympics are not on my screen

[@coopergrounds]

I hope everything is ok for y'all with the wildfires and such!

[@JDeKay]

Holy Sh!t, Andy doing the Milk Machine is all I needed for the New Year!

[@TheGore44]

Sending prayers to those affected by the LA fires! Be safe and well, don't worry about the pod, we can wait❤❤

[@CGoodin]

This podcast RULES.

[@flicksandlyrics7984]

Blown away by Seth at the Golden Globes smiling at Nick Cage doing Andy's impression of Nick Cage. (I never realized just how great that one is!)

[@sherinameless1618]

Museums use flesh-eating beetles to prepare skeletons for display. Seth, when Frisbee passes, steal some of those beetles from the Met and you can have the bones ready to give to Andy on the special Late Night Frisbee tribute show.

[@Indigoh1980]

love the fact the pod gets posted right before bed time in the eastern states of Australia means I watch before sleep which is awesome

[@silverXnoise]

Sweet dreams.

[@mFFX-1206]

Omg Seth’s laugh at 3:42 was incredible

[@russellmc03]

Yall started saying goodbye and I saw there was still 4 minutes left on the pod then Samburg asked that question about breakfast cereal and I knew I couldn't leave

[@gratefuljackal8183]

I just watched that Closer Look in which Seth did a Samberg! Someone forgot to turn on an invisibility cloak to hide the NJ drones and says "oh f**k f**k f**k". It was hilarious, I had to rewind 😃👌

[@canadaclaret]

In The Handmaid's Tale, the house where June's husband lives in Toronto after he escapes from Gilead (U.S.A., post-J.D. Vance Revolution) is on a street next to my high school in the neighbourhood called Weston. The school has a pool, so I would walk down that street to get to swimming lessons when I was even younger than high school age. I was very excited to recognize it.

[@toastedjoe1013]

In regards to Frisbee's bones to be given to Andy, there was a bit on Conan where he gave Tom Hanks Hooch the dogs bones for Christmas, wrapped up in a box.

[@BloomLewis]

Thankyou for making me laugh on a workday morning!! I'm absolutely crying with laughter after Seth's description of My Fair Lady 🤣🤣

[@zacharynoe496]

Watching the new SNL docs on Peacock and I spotted a Kuato at 3 mins into episode 2. Now I’m really jonesing for a Smint.

[@eyeDavid]

Laughed way too long at “getting shredded and drink more”

[@rekhaajr9509]

OMFG the voice note sounded just like Lutz, I thought for a second it was him and that they included it as a gag 😂🤣

[@matthoebeke]

I agree with first voice memo. Japan rules. I also would have loved Dream Girl, if it could even be done

[@ty_sylicus]

I honestly can't belive how many episodes of this cast I've listened to. 😶

[@dallwalk]

Thanks for the persons submittal about his class going to the actual sites where Hot Rod was filmed. Just now booked a trip to do exactly that.

[@ericolson326]

I was listening to the Brian Diaries episode while driving and right when Seth asks "Do you remember who came in wearing a Barack Obama Halloween mask?" KZbin cut -- unbeknownst to me -- to a commercial with no audio except the sound of crickets chirping. I literally blurted out, "Oh come on, even I know this one."

[@sccampbell]

Hey Seth, I caught part of your new year's eve show and my wife and I were dying during the segment with Will Forte, especially the part where he's trying to...just breaking you. Amazing segment. Love the podcast guys. Wishing you a very successful 2025!

[@ndonaldson80]

14:05

[@jjunture]

“I know a man named Mr. Lang, and he has a neon sign… and Mr. Lang is very old, so we call it Old Lang’s Sign” -Allan Sherman

[@sammyjeanh]

I see the Swedish Chef and think of Andy, they are the same thing/person in my mind.

[@romanticstylezz]

andy is seth’s boy 😭💗

[@dustinrabin]

Hey, guys! I was walking along a busy street in Toronto listening to the pod, as I often do, and all of a sudden I yelled "DOGGIE BAG!!”. You were talking about the day that Frisbee goes to the big off leash dog park in the sky, and wondered how you would get the bones home… I was SO sure that the next words out of one of your mouths would be “Doggie Bag”, and now that’s going to be my new nickname around the neighbourhood.

[@vandal280]

I live in Seattle but my boyfriend is from California and anytime anything is filmed in California he will scream excitedly I know that place I know that place and then proceeded to tell me exactly where it is and all the times he's visited that area

[@MarkLoveJoy88]

I WAS LOOKING FOR ONE LAST MONDAY, BUT HOPEFULLY WE GET ANOTHER THIS MONDAY. PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING

[@ledheadsteve]

I am from NE Ohio and the new Superman movie was filmed and Cleveland and has a ton of shots from the city. Totally know that feeling of seeing a shot of your town in a movie and being excited

[@katieorr3903]

The person who voted for Daiquiri Girl was so charming & sweet!

[@adrianconte2848]

I can't be the only one to think of this, but has TLI ever considered doing a Beastie Boys biopic, dramatic, not comedy. I can't think of 3 guys better suited to honor that legacy. And we now know Andy has dramatic chops

[@YouFightLikeACow]

My era to join is obviously the golden era of SNL Digital Shorts, so basically from 2007-2012.

[@ObscureReference9]

Point of interest here guys. We already have something for when Frisbee dies because Andy got Seth to promise on his show that Andy could do something special he has planned when it happens. No bones required. PS: Is it possible at all to submit skits to SNL still? Or is that dead forever?

[@CalebCross253]

I just pictured Andy opening a Box from Seth and Frisbees Taxidermied Head being in it like that scene from Happy Gilmore and the Alligator.

[@brianbook7635]

Mr. Show holds up

[@NoelChenier]

Speaking of COVERED IN FLOUR...I'd love to hear A GREAY DAY re-done by Andy in the Swedish Chef's voice!

[@shanerickard_HB]

Anyone else wondering if everyone on the pod is okay with these fires? I thought Andy mentioned that he lived up in the hollywood hills areas. So insane. You wouldn't think it could just rip through residential neighborhoods like that. Hoping you guys are all safe... not JUST because I would miss the podcast, but you know, I don't want you guys to die. And I do want you to keep making content. It makes the world a better place.

[@j.oliveiraa.9544]

He does and so does Akiva, I think near Beachwood. The closest in that area is probably the sunset fire but I’m seeing news saying it’s under control but they were probably in the evacuation zone.

[@postb7082]

Whenever you talk about "People Getting Punched Just Before Eating" I'm just waiting for somebody to bring up "happy slapping," which was pretty much people slapping strangers on camera. It started to be a thing in the UK a couple of years before that digital short.

[@chloe7150]

Seth was literally one of the stars of the movie New Year’s Eve, which has a big emotional ending as Auld Lang Syne plays. What are the odds he forgot about that lmao

[@its_kins]

I imagine you could get your dog's bones if you grease a palm 29:59

[@soulysephiroth]

I'm dying for Andy or the whole podcast to do an episode of hot ones

[@filsmyth2]

TIL that wasn't flour thanks Andy 😤

[@sammyjeanh]

Hope you guys are safe in So Cal ❤️

[@nannerz1994]

I love how this podcast is turning into a "and Woody Harrelson sometimes" format

[@BrandonAaskov]

Being on the Jav gives Andy the confidence to push past his respect for Akiva.

[@xTracex]

Seth, you take your dog to a taxidermist, afterwards, of course. And ask THEM for the bones.

[@AdventureBrizz]

QUESTION for y'all! What's the deal with BOILED GOOSE?

[@JasonDeline]

Calling it a Pod is like calling Prairie Home Companion a radio, or Breaking Bad a TV, Dear Abby a newspaper, or your new shoes Footlockers.

[@HoraceInkling]

34:50 No reason to bring Rob Schneider into this.

[@powershouse022]

So disappointed you missed taking Frisbee's bones home from the vet in a 'doggy bag'.

[@supernovaqq]

The amazing Mr. Show sketch Andy was referencing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqG6hmx-jqqrqLcsi=SXRRsw65t_vN_yLg&t=438 The entire thing is hilarious but the link skips right to the milk machine bit.

[@wftbanks5737]

In "Perfect Saturday" what WAS all the plastic? Where Jorm and Kiv's characters gonna kill "the freaks" had Ned not showed up to take a shit?

[@clouserants]

this is a really good question

[@markbrierley6367]

Why Frisbee bones and not Frisbee taxidermy?

[@brandonstroy]

Seth, I assume you are aware that Frisbee was the name of the cartoon dog played by Bill Murray during the Ghost of Christmas Past visit in Scrooged. My question is whether your dog was named in a tribute to Bill Murray and Scrooged, whether you just liked the name, or whether at the time you named your dog you were not aware of the history. Thanks!

[@allysoncygan5110]

Wondering if, next time you discuss Criterion, if there could be yet another category that’s just particular lines/lyrics that are uniquely Lonely Island while being excellent? Because I feel like every digital short has at least one Criterion line, even if the entire short wouldn’t be considered Criterion.

[@mnchls]

Well, at ALL of our best, we're all only half a Samberg.

[@digerati02]

7:25 Is that Maude Apatow? Seth said it was a very special voice note so I feel like it was someone we're supposed to know and it sounds just like her.

[@alidobbs]

Based on Andy’s clear relation to the muppets, when can we expect a Lonely Island x The Muppets collab? full length film, digital short, or one-off song? Or all three? please we’re begging

[@fionadevon8067]

Very Good.

[@ironmatt5867]

Pac-Man cereal was my favorite growing up.

[@sammyjeanh]

Maybe you guys could answer a question or two in the regular episodes as well, because I'm guessing there are thousandssss

[@lndryz]

i love the podcast so much and i realized i had a second question i forgot to ask, was there ever talk about a music video for Rocky?

[@willsimbala4291]

This IS the knocking song.

[@piscesinblack]

I *need* an episode on "7 Days in Hell" I've watched that shit a million times

[@SpookyQuill]

Hey so I was wondering in Sushi Glory Hole, where did you guys sample the "yeaaaah"/scream that plays throughout and finishes off the song?

[@matt99284]

Is that the star of Sonic 3 on the right?

[@TheJoshDM]

I'm going to have to find out how the rest if you (laser) cats are leaving voice messages for TLI because my question comment to Andy I've been leaving on these YT videos has been successfully dodged three times. Andy, what's your opinion of the Whitest Kids You Know SNL Opener sketch?

[@jasonroosa2475]

We need a frisbee caper mystery theater.

[@HasBruce]

I would die if Seth was in best look in the world, but if cptn Jack showes up... full attention

[@andrewstutesman1738]

Re: Jack Ansonoff, I barely know Anson. Forte callback 😂

[@radtacular2218]

How does one submit a question or voice note for the pod?

[@fionadevon8067]

If I ever had a podcast it would be called"technical issues".

[@andriikatsalap5683]

tell us more about the Lonely Iceland music clips creation, "Spring Break Anthem", "YOLO", etc

[@phowwy]

I've subscribed to The Lonely Island's KZbin channel for a long time, but is slipped down on my subscription list because it hadn't had new content for so long. I was thrilled to come across it again and I devoured all the new content. but now no more podcasts? Are you going to continue it and just taking a break or is that it? Sadly, I"m hooked now and going through withdrawal.

[@spanish2boys]

Was there confusion on what outfield position Jose played because the netflix special says right field and the album says left?

[@Lucid2024]

I have a crush on Andy from 2021 when i got to know about him. 😅

[@joelstampede4883]

I need you boys to do me a favor: I want you to reboot Austin Powers. Andy will have to perfect a British accent and play one more character (doesn't need to be the main antagonist). Akiva can play at least Basil, and Jorma can either be a new antag, or at least the tech nerd. Or maybe both. Get in it, because I think Austin Powers is gonna be rebooted any way, and I'd rather it be done right if it's inevitable

[@jasonroosa2475]

I wonder how a bit would go over where a cue card man has a peculiar way of writing some letters therefore when they are spoken, you subtly notice it as the skit goes on

[@EricCoomerMusic]

It’s still not too late to fly to Japan and make a music video for it.

[@adrianvandongen2756]

Can the guys make a spoof video of Andy and Jorma reenacting the video of MGMT before they were famous playing Kids? I can't help but watch it and think it is a skit of theirs anyways, haha

[@Flash007b]

Can we get video for these?!

[@mildsoup8978]

Just when you think you can't like Andy more than you already do, then you find out he's 13% your favorite Muppet 💙🩵💙🩵

[@johnmathewson9313]

I was just listening to Nas and wanted to know if that was the inspiration for SGH. Imagine that.

[@thrillhouuse]

I Love the New MIllennium was weird because the decade was ongoing, it only covered like 2000-2007, and it wasn’t interesting because it was too recent. Topics consisted of TiVo, Who Let the Dogs Out, Razor Scooters and other things that had no nostalgic or educational value yet. Jorm was right.

[@julied5444]

Erin sounds like Georgia Engel from the MTM show. lol

[@eddiehowe914]

So I only have the free version of nyt games so Spelling Bee cuts me off once I hit "Solid". How far away am I from Queen Bee?
