   I'm four away. The wheels are off. It's just the three three-a-doors and we can do the bee right at the top. Are you going to do this while we do our pod? It's a 79-word bee, but you know what? Let's do this.

   This guy, he's very bad at it. Keeve, you've been mogging me on the fucking minis, dude. Yeah, with the really bad scores that you just happened to get one second worse. Yeah. That was kind of crazy. We had a horrible…

7. The Saxman demo with Jack Black

   16:06

8. Quibi's timing problem

   20:04

   The hosts explain Quibi launched in 2018, too early, before TikTok and Instagram created the culture for short vertical video, and the name stood for Quick Bytes.

   It was 2018, and it was too soon, because TikTok...

9. Tony Hawk's Verts joke

   ~21:00

   The hosts riff on Quibi's failure by suggesting it should have been named Verts, tying it to Tony Hawk's vertical skating and the Tony Hawk outro shoutout from the previous week.

   they should have just been called Verts. Yeah, Verts. Then it would have been a hit.

10. The After Party short begins

    23:27

    Akiva opens the main discussion by introducing the short 'After Party' featuring Santigold. The hosts tease a bit of her music before explaining the connection.

    24:51

    Andy explains they had only met Santigold a couple of months before asking her to appear on the song, and wanted to make good use of her talent.

    What's weird at her concerts, if anyone sings along to the... She stops and goes, no, I'm the singer. — Akiva

14. Santigold's union rule rant

    27:23

    Santigold has a concert bit where she stops the show to call out audience members singing along, insisting she is the singer and they paid to listen. The hosts riff on the union-violation framing.

    She stops and goes, no, I'm the singer. I'm up here. You're down there. You paid the money.

15. Coachella rant stops the concert

    28:59

    At her first rant, the dancers stopped dancing, and Santigold turned on them, saying she pays them to keep dancing. The concert stopped at Coachella's main stage.

    famously, at the first time she did a rant, they did stop dancing.

16. Parody law and the Chironi bit

    29:35

    Andy mentions appearing at a Santigold show with Chironi, and the hosts suggest her usual rant was avoided because the parody fell under parody law.

    I think maybe just because Chironi and the dancing I was doing fell under parody law.

21. Fiesta as the 'after' structure's inspiration

    37:12

    The after-party lyric structure is loosely inspired by the Jay-Z verse on the R. Kelly Fiesta remix, a trope the hosts debate tracing to its first use.

    Now, this is loosely, I mean, it's fully inspired by, but loosely inspired by Fiesta

22. Santigold's voice note on the song's origin

    47:53

    Santigold, recorded in a voice note, recalls that she met the group at Downtown Records while working on her second album and sang on After Party as a favor. The group's friendship grew out of that session.

    I was already a fan from all the Saturday Night Live stuff, because I like any... Funny stuff.

    Keep in mind that I'm a really, really good singer when you listen to it. Well, let's hear your singing, though. Do you want to take a little taste of that? I don't know. It's up to Jorm. I love that fucking... Good… — Andy
