  • Audible misses episodes

    This score is not a reflection of podcast.The Quaid Army releases episodes erratically, but Audible seems to be the last platform to upload and sometimes not at all. An episode from last month was never made available and the episode from this week is still not up. These episodes appear on YouTube so I know they were produced. If Audible is going to include podcasts, they need to rapidly improve the availability.

  • Nearly flawless


    
but if you want to squeeze a fifth star out of me, you’ll need to go ahead and devote even more time to recapping the previous episode. 20 minutes is simply not enough time spent recounting the events of last week’s pod, which your faithful fans have attentively taken in, for the sake of Andy who literally could not care less.

  • I like that there are some 1 start reviews. It just shows that this show is special, and the fans are special, and not everyone is doing too get it. But if you like The Lonely Island, you will like this podcast. Just start from the beginning or you are going to be so confused.

    This podcast is full of love for each other, it's such a joy to listen to. And the deep dive into comedy every week is very cool for us comedy nerds. This many Alvins together is just Ka-blamo.

    Quaid army!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bill Hader
Q: Do you think your casting in it was inspired by this?
Hader connects the question to playing the Cat in the Hat when he hosted SNL, but says he does not know whether the filmmakers had seen that performance.
Bill Hader
Q: Bill, do you feel as though Solomon wrote that sketch for you and wanted you to scream, and whether or not you wanted to scream, you felt like you had to because you were sad for him that Forte was no longer at the show?
Hader says it was clearly a Forte sketch and that writers gave him Forte-style characters, including the firefighter and the puppet character.
Nintendo Cartoon Hour
Q: From the listener question about height with Taylor Swift, who is taller and by how much?
The host explains that Seth is taller; Jorma confirms Seth's height difference and they discuss platform differences (Apple Music lyrics vs. the audio version).
Listener Q&A Episode 13
Q: How did you feel leading up to the first substantial television airing of these shorts, and what was the reception like when they finally aired?
There was a mix of nerves and confidence; we believed in the material, but the live room experience and the audience reaction after airing confirmed that these pieces had real impact, often buoyed by strong collaboration and timing.
What Was That?
Q: Andy, how did you feel about New York Magazine calling Seth and Jorma the two sweetest sweetie pies of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast?
It's easy for people to hear what they're given on the pod and not know the darker truth behind the public image; the dynamic is more complicated, with genuine warmth but also a sense of playful mischief that the magazine only partially captured.
