Hey, Quaid Army, Seth here. I wanted to let you know that we do not have a new episode for you

this week. We were all just a little too busy. Akiva is putting the finishing touches on

his naked gun movie, which will be in theaters on August 1st. Yorma is on spring break. I know

it's summer, but he got the dates mixed up. And Andy is on spring break. I know it's summer, but he got the dates mixed up. And Andy is

unavailable because recently he, against all odds, has gotten super into podcasts. And pretty

much every time we try to schedule, he is basically just in the middle of a podcast binge and refuses to join artists to record

because he's just super into listening to him now.

So instead, we are going to replay our very first episode.

So for those of you who didn't start at the beginning, you can get a sense of what this

podcast was when it began.

A lot less about Total Recall is my memory. So we hope you enjoy it. We'll be back soon with new

episodes, Righteous Kill.

Hey, everybody. My name is Seth Myers, and it's very exciting. This is the first episode of a new podcast that I'm doing

with three very old friends of mine and earlier today they sent me this intro and asked me to read

it word for word as they wrote it in 2005 three gentlemen arrived in New York City not just to

change the fortunes of Saturday Night Live but to change the course course of comedy history. Their names? I'm not going to insult your intelligence. You know their names. But if you just woke up from a 17-year coma, they answer to Andy, Yorma, and Akiva, AKA. A.k.i. That's how you wrote it. A.k.i. The Lonely Island. That's how we wrote it. That's how we wrote it.

We don't play by anybody's rules. Thank you for getting it. Typo. Correct.

It's the lonely island. And Seth Myers podcast.

So I started SNL in 2001, four very nice years at the show, before you guys showed up,

and you showed up with a lot of other wonderful people that we'll talk about over the course

of this podcast. But I genuinely mean this, and being sincere, the tone of the show had a major

shift in the right direction and started a really delightful era of the show when you guys showed up. I agree. And you had a really nice thing going for you. You showed up and you knew each other. Can I just interject before we really get into the meat potatoes of this? Yeah. But can you just introduce yourself? It's me, Andy Samberg from the Loeley Island. Okay, great. Seth Myers' former castmate. Thank you. I just want to say, before we get going, shouldn't we, like, celebrate a little that we're starting, like, a huge podcast together and, like, who ride a little bit on the MIC? Yeah. Yeah. I think that's a really good call. We'll add that later. Yeah. It's just nice to see you guys' faces. And then for no one else to see us. You guys don't want to be like, yeah! Well, it's the first podcast. Yeah! You've had the least enthusiasm for this in all the planning, and now immediately you're coming up. I've never wanted to do this. I'm just saying now that we're forcing people to listen, should we make it kind of fun? Like, hey, welcome to the party, mother, yeah! And who ride? Yeah, we've got a who ride. Yeah, right, right. A little bit more morning radio kind of energy. And I'm up, pat, pat, pat, pat, welcome back to four shock jocks. All right, we should note that we have not figured out the name for this podcast yet,
