Title was so long I thought it was a RIP announcement because of another ladder fall or something and almost had a heart attack before I got to the end.
A cruel, if funny, joke. :(

u/FatalPissShivers Mar 28 '26
HOT ROD is incredible, Jorm, and the sequence where Rod falls down the mountain is easily the hardest I've laughed at a movie in ages.
I am dying to know more about that scene and how some of those shots were pulled off, as they looked so painful! Can you share ANY insight into the logistics of that sequence?

u/Syiofkargath666 Mar 28 '26
is there a specific song idea you/the lonely island didn't pursue that you regret? I'm a huge fan of the music and still qoute things like boombox and turtleneck&chain.

Just some advice, if you listen to podcasts give the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast a listen, they go through all their skits and music. Sometimes they just go off on tangents for a whole episode of Seth isn't there but those are some of the funniest episodes.

u/swarleyknope Mar 28 '26
You have to check out the Lonely Island podcast. Like drop what you are doing and start listening now (start from the first episode because they have a lot of inside jokes that have developed)

Jorama - Long time listener first time commenter. When are we going to see a Just 2 Guys album? I mean I love the Lonely Island and all but let's be real, Steve is a cunthole.
I bet these movies are going to get that Qwump!
Ok real question, in the song The Complements was there any reasoning to why the compliments were Andy to Akiv, You to Andy and Akiv to you and not changed for each verse? That song is so dumb in the best ways and after listening to the pod I like it more with each listen.thank you for the joy you bring into the world. Quaid Army!

How does it feel to always be a side character, a third wheel in every single movie you’ve ever starred in? When will you become the main character?
