Hey, hey, it's the lonely island and Seth Myers podcast show.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the podcast.

It's really just a novel week because it's what we call in the biz a two-hander.

You want to guess who the other hand is?

He's about to say hello.

Hi, guys. Akiva Schaffer here. So glad to be here without some of the dead weight. I know. We're really just off and running tonight with... Andy did say he is going to join, but he didn't give us an ETA. No. And Yoram kind of... He said he feels like shit.

Yeah, Yorne played the...

The card that, to be honest, I'm shocked he hasn't played more often because he's been very, you know, upbeat about this whole thing. But I think he had a tough day. Like Andy was saying early in this, that if it was any of the rest of us, we would just be gone. Yeah, you would never hear from us again. No. And so you're I'm occasionally pulling the I don't feel well.

The card is well earned.

Yes.

And we were scheduled to do this. you would never hear from a skin. No. And so you're I'm occasionally pulling the I Don't Feel Well.

The card is well earned. Yes. And we were scheduled to do this a couple days ago, and I was the guy who last minute remembered I had to go to a potluck at my kid's school. Now, Seth, do you ever think about, we've set up an entire podcast that has a finite number built in? Yeah. You know, smartless will always, much like your talk show, there'll always be somebody else out there who needs to promote something to come on as a guest.

Right.

And your family trips, I mean, I guess you don't get the same person on twice because they'd have to come up with new family trips to talk about.

Yeah.

But there's a pretty large pool of potential guests out there when you consider it kind of is the entire human race. Yeah. But we've done this. And without Andy here to say, you know, that he hates the idea that this could go on indefinitely, I think he takes great solace in the fact that he knows that it will come to an end. Yeah.

But we both know that can't happen. No, of course not. We got to keep it going. Yeah. Not for us, mind you, of course, for the quads. For the quades, for the quade army. You can't build an army and then just turn your back on them. Exactly. That's just bad. Bad leadership. I like to think of us as leaders.

What is the next iteration?

I don't have of us as leaders. What is the next iteration?

I don't have an answer to this. I mean, obviously true crime.

Interesting. It's there for us.
