The podcast episode blends humor, nostalgia, and creative reflection around the making of the "Boombox" music video. Hosts Seth and Andy recount how the video emerged from a spontaneous inspiration during a visit to Julian’s home, where Julian contributed significantly with songwriting and guitar. The production involved creative techniques like slow-motion and intentional color grading, enhancing the video’s narrative and visual appeal. A key theme is the value of collaboration and imperfection—hosts note that a lost verse was cut due to repetition, but it remains a cherished part of their legacy. The episode also includes playful discussions of internet culture, such as the "hit us in the tittus" meme, a Rebus puzzle, and a humorous "spider-league" incident involving a real spider. Personal moments, like Julian’s humility and a fan’s surprise at a name mix-up (Maya Rupert), highlight the deep personal connections formed during the creative process. The hosts reflect on how mutual respect and shared vision made the project special, calling it one of their most meaningful contributions. The episode balances lighthearted jokes with sincere appreciation for collaboration, celebrating both the technical and emotional craftsmanship behind the music video.
♪ The lonely island and set fire's podcast show ♪ - Can I jump in and start talking to you guys? - Fuck yeah, let's start Seth. - Seth, let us begin. Seth, let's do it, Seth, and kick it off. Seth, hit us in the face. - Oh, well why you start with hit us in the face? Obviously replacing. - The now famous term, hit us in the tittus. I got a lot of grief from our listeners for saying that a titt mouse was a mammal, it's a bird. - Oh, is it really? - Yeah, titt mice, is it? I guess it's both, right? Still the plural works the same way. - Well, you know what I like to say, Seth, to me, it'll always be offensive. - Interesting, yep. - Do you think I'd get kicked off social media by the federal government if I said hit ice in the titt mice? - Only one way to find out, just throw it off on social and see what happens. - That was our version of social, yeah. - It's a weird one 'cause I think it'd be hard, it's like kind of hard to be mad about it. - It's a cute little bird. - It's cute looking at it right now. - Tufted, titt mouse. Your arms say that 10 times fast. - I would never, I'm personally offended, the moment you say it. - Oh, Keith, say it 10 times fast. - No problem, tufted titt mouse, tufted titt mouse, tufted titt mouse, tufted titt mouse. - I've always did have the best verbal dexterity. - Tufted titt mouse, tufted titt mouse, - By the way, that was a real Greg Stink reaction, you're him when he said say it 10 times fast. You're like, "Oh, I could, I could possibly, I could do that." - Sorry, I'm busy making a friend. - A lot of people, Keith said they've now listened to the podcast, assuming you're lying on a couch completely out of energy like a guy just shoved at Dan Flashe's. - That's how I would love to do it. Like I'm being psychoanalyzed just completely horizontal. - But he looks cool as shit. - You're super hungry, but you spend all your food on new shirts. - On my per-dem, on my per-dem, on my skittered adclose. - On my skittered adclose. - Yep. - So, you're and I recorded a very special episode. - We did. - That's going to air Thanksgiving week. But we've talked about a few things because we recorded that before this, which is going to air first, so the timelines all fucked up. But there's just a couple things we have to bring up here as well. Andy, you noticed, thanks to John Hamm, but you wouldn't have noticed anyway. So we said that the New York Times is sending us messages. - Yeah. - My name was in a New York Times spelling bee. - Yeah. - No, I started New York Times crosswords. - Yeah, very cool, very cool. - It was a Rebus too. - Rebus, a solo Rebus. I mean, if you know, you know. And then-- - Wait, I don't even know what that means. What's a Rebus? - Oh, your arm. - Just for the people that are dumb on our pod. - Again, I really like, if you know, you know, it's like, ah, I don't know. - Hold on, hold on, hold on. Just for our slowest buffalo out there. - Oh, my God, that's it. - What is a Rebus? - Have you the best, your mission, dub yourself over the clip song? If you know, you know. But what are you talking about? - I don't know, guys, I'm sorry to bust the flow. - Can we go back to first one? Because I didn't understand any of that. - I completely agree, but just for posterity, what is, what do you know? - Definitely, I mean-- - Can you tell us what it is? - A Rebus is when you fill more than one letter in a, in a one box. - Oh, gotcha. - Okay, great. - And Seth, you were the clue, so you could almost say, ah, I'm Rebus. - Not quite though. - You couldn't, but you almost could. - That was a real, that was a real bucket of ice water from Keith there. I'm not quite really. (laughing) - That's why he's my guy. - He's not the door open for something. - Keith's ice bucket challenge is tell a joke that he will actually respond to. - Yeah. - You can not immediately squelch. It's improv, it's, it's, it's no don't. - No don't. - No don't. - By the way, I'm just gonna come clean and say, I was bending over backwards trying to figure out a way to say I'm Rebus, and Andy's was 10X better than what I was gonna say. - Thank you, Seth Lee. - Some people appreciate me around here. - A lot of requests to do a special, when next time you guys are busy, do a special spider-league episode of the pod. - Oh my god. - Just bring them on. - Just get them on. - I actually have personal news on that front. - Wow. - Because me and Keith had a fun hang with Tim and Zach the other night, and I was saying that I watched them on your show. And I felt like as I was watching it, then I was kind of jealous, and that I wanted to be in spider club, even though I knew it was BS. - Also you're caught in a spider club and not spider-league. That's gonna be very cute, exactly. - I did give away. - So yeah, that already sort of had me not on the back foot. But then they were like, dude, I don't know, maybe you should. And then last night at the house, me and my kids saw a big ass spider walk by, and they were like, oh yeah, there's a spider. And I was like, go, go, run away. And then I took out my phone, zoomed in and took a picture and sent it to them. And they sent me back the type of spider it was, and then I said, I squished it, because the kids were scared. - Uh-huh. - And one of them gave me a thumbs up, the other gave me a thumbs down. And then I said, oh, mixed reaction. And then Zach said, Tim paid you the respect of not condescending. - So wait, so they let the spiders live, that's spider-league. - I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get into spider-league, is what I'm saying. - Yeah, spider killers don't get in there. - Wait, do you remember what kind of spider-league was that? - Well, I can show it to you, which people won't be able to see. - Oh, that looks dangerous. I'm glad you did. - I'm glad you did. - Is that a wolf spider? - They told me they thought it was a mouse spider. That's what Zach pulled. - Tipped mouse? - Regular or tipped, yeah. - You put it into the app, and it identified it as mouse spider. - That seems wrong to me. That looks grayer to me. - I mean, the best thing we find out that the two of them are just running a scam. Where every time there's a spider, they just build a page. - Make up a fake spider name, just the fuck with Brooks? - Could be. - That'd be the best way to do this. - What's weird is they kept saying they're getting so rich from it. And I was like, "How?" And they wouldn't tell us. They're like, "Don't worry about it. We're making so much money." - I get him. - Dude. - Oh, the other thing, in the same mirror times crossword, it said, "This brand had their fans make their Super Bowl ad, and it was Doritos." - Oh, and I guess they're right away, right, Seth? Remember when you said? - Said. - By the way, I'm very happy. - You're about to hear. I teed up your arm for this and he guessed. Literally, I will say, it was very funny. He kept guessing the sponsors of this podcast. He's like, "Veory." (laughing) "Veory." Oh, I know it. Don't worry, Airbnb. I've got it, Seth. - And I'm like slugged, being real slow. I'm like, "Oh, Super Bowl ad. Super Bowl. Fans made it. So it is Airbnb." (laughing) He's like, "Term life insurance." - I mentioned I was listening to that Geese album a lot, and there was a real disappointment, knowing that if Andy would have been there, there was a chance he would have said, when you listen to it too much, does your family say not a gunk? - Yeah, so we dropped the ball there, Seth. - Yeah, we did. I mean, have Geese like just right on the thing. - Well, yeah, it was too obvious, 'cause we've had so much goose content that we just let it keep going. I like to give something for the fans to pick up on, right? - And then outside of the pod, we conferred, and Seth now knows I'm a major geese head too, but I'm also maybe even more into that solo dolo camera with your record, so to each of their own. - Did you listen to the solo once, Seth? - Not yet, no, but I really appreciate the suggestion. - Oh cool, I guess I'll just go fucking fuck myself and die then. - He's a busy guy. - You might as well go do that, because guess what, I'm about to come at you, my friend. - Okay, I'm suffering through so many of these episodes, where you're like, "I can't believe you cut me from update." And then a bunch of people rushed to my defense and said, "Hold up, they cut you from pop star, the one chance." - That was after. - The one time they had a chance to put you in, they cut you right out. - Why did we cut you? - Because of update, that's why you kept saying, "The whole thing was revenge for it." - The minute he was in the edit, he was just like, "Get that fucker out of here." - I remember fighting for yours for your thing, Seth. - I remember fighting for yours. Now I want to stop the bit to save his good cut. - But I disagree. - I can tell you what it is, but a lot of the reasons was we rearranged everything. So even the video it was coming after moved around so much. - No, I remember exactly what it was. It was kind of for real as on Seth's show, Seth as himself. And he's talking about his song that he keeps saying sexual freedom for all at the end of-- - Equal right, it's at the end. - Yeah, and Seth as himself is like, and when you wrote it, did you know that that was the slogan for the Man Boy Love Association? And I'm like, you know I didn't, and it just makes me so sad that no one told me that before I put this or something like that. You think he's gonna say it's so sad that that happens and that that exists, but instead it's about that no one gave him the heads up. - No one warned you. - Yeah, which is a very good joke, but I think honestly the problem is that people don't know what Nambo is. - 'Cause it's not really around anymore as far as I know. - 'Cause everybody got, everybody got too woke. - Yeah, as you always say. Everyone got too woke. Seth, Desert Island, Mensa, or Namla. (laughing) - Wait, who else joins me on it? - Oh yeah, yeah, Desert Island. - Desert Island. We've been talking about what do we talk about when we ran out of digital shorts. Someone said we should just basically, we've built enough lower than we can just do podcasts about this podcast. And they even wrote out what it would sound like, which is what's breakfast effector's time to job it up with the four shock jocks directly from foggy, london town. You don't even know how many palms we had degrees to get us here, but we'll stop at nothing to chase them clicks. By the way, Andy, how did you do in the bee? Oh, only a tetrafecta queen bee, quibbix, super no sauce? - Not a gunk. But how did you do quads, hit us in the tinnus? But don't miss us, or you'll meet us at your house. That last part didn't rhyme. You're in thorns. - I'm so worried that ChatGPT wrote that. - I don't think we resonated enough to be ChatGPTed. - I'm starting to think these episodes could be a lot shorter. - Wait, Seth.
- Tell me that ChatGPT doesn't scrub the pod for info. - I don't think the pod, I have checked our data feed, we are unscribbed. - Oh, no. - It's the one thing it doesn't check. - It was, yeah. - Oh, they got it. Somebody who's got, who's got Sam Albans number? Somebody's got to have it. Let's get him, hey, scrub the pod, bud. (laughing) Lots of great stuff. - Scrub it. - Is it a weird incoming request for a scrub? - Scrub it. - The first one in mystery. (laughing) - No, this is the only one with sharp level, you can't scrub us. - It was a scrub. - We're not gonna sue you, don't worry, just scrub it. - Is it working on singularity? - Nothing, you do is useful to others. - That's our ChatGPT talks, right? - This is not applicable. - All right, it's a Jude Law show, guys. - Woo! - Man, oh man, Jude Laws are charmer. Two things that got cut from the show that I think about anything that made the show. That we'll get to. But first, let's talk about Boombox. Boombox, here's the part of the show. - It was playing the beginning song, then. You know how we always do it. - Oh yeah. - So we all imagined the song. - Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. - Now I feel like it might be better if you just leave the dead air. - This part. - It's better. Leave that part. We're all used to listening. - Wait, you thought that's what was gonna happen? - It was waiting for the start point. I thought you were waiting. - It was tip-oombox playing clip. - Thought this was a professional fucking thing. - I'd say it was all of us just going, "Uhhh, it's like John." - It sounded like Seth was throwing to a clip. I thought you guys were so dead-eyed. I thought you were frozen. I thought you were throwing to a clip. Seth, you do it all day for a living. I was like, here it comes. - I don't know, man. I don't care. - We're all sleepy boys. - God damn it. I thought every time I tried to start a clip, you guys were like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Shouldn't we talk about our inspiration?" - Well, we should. - Yeah. - I literally started singing for you. - This is the part where we talk about Boombox. Oh yeah, there you go. - Where to begin? I mean, I think maybe we skipped it when we talked about and cried about it, 'cause we knew we would do an episode about it, but this was another one that started when I was vitally in the studio listening to beats, vibing to beats, and I thought of that premise to this beat. - This is another Drew Campbell beat. - Oh, I forgot it was Drew, but of course it is. - Yeah, similar. That's why it feels like a mother-lovery kind of thing, but if you pre-dating it. - And I don't remember if it was one or both if you guys, but I remember being like, this is my idea for it. It's like, you know, how in the '80s, it was like a Boombox was the cure for everything. - I think we were all, I think all three of us worked on this. - Yeah, we were all in there. - Right, and we were in that Encino house. We're just living it up in the shittiest room in the house. - Yep. - Just hottest balls. - Making tunes. Now what I don't remember, Andy, is did Julian, like we've talked about how he came and would be playing tennis and stuff, was that all after he recorded and saw the house? Did he come for the first time or did he come? - Julian, Casablanque, I guess from the strokes. - Yes, sorry. - Did he come to the house for the first time beforehand just as a friend and then we wrote to him into a song or did he come for the song? - The first time was for the song. And we were friendly 'cause they had been on, obviously, and we were big fans. - We were sighted and then we were like, I wonder if he would do one 'cause he's always so friendly and we were like, this would be a perfect one for him if he was into it. But we were like, they're so like, at that time, no one knew anything about the strokes. They were this mysterious, cool, sexy, existing thing. - Still are, still are. - Well, I mean, we know a little more now. - Sure, sure, let's miss you. - Was there even fucking sex here than we could have possibly imagined? (laughing) - Rhythm section, so goddamn tight. - Oh, it's a fucking tight. - But he was into it and we did the thing we always did. - Okay, I, a big fan, not to sound like Lauren Michaels, but loves the show. - I made a big SNL fan. - Julian. - Julian, yeah. - And they're New York boys. - They had probably played SNL twice. Do you think it was their second time when we were there or even third time? Was it our first, 'cause they definitely played when we were there, that's when we got to meet them. - We weren't there for their first and then they had already come back twice, I think, while we were there. - So they were an SNL fave. But we didn't know that he was super into comedy until we met them. - Correct. - I knew he loved the Horatio Christmas song, which I think they covered, right? - Yes, he did actually do a version of, yes. - He did do it. - It's a great version of that song. - But Seth, what can I tell you? You know, a factoid. Originally recorded with my temp, singing for the chorus, and when Julian got the song, he was like, I love this, but I wanna change the key. And we were like, what? What is that? Was that the first time that was the first time that we did that, right? 'Cause I remember being like, oh. - Well, beyond the key, he wanted to change the melody. - Well, both. - Yeah, which was more involved than most people get, which was awesome. Do you remember the original melody? It's gone from my brain. - It's been erased from our hard drives and our brains, our brain hard drives. - I don't totally remember it. He made it better, basically. As soon as he started doing it, we were like, oh, I see, that's what makes his songs, his songs. Like, he has his own magic. - Yeah. - And as soon as he started to do it, when he changed it, I remember being a little bit bummed because the verse parts, I thought sounded a little more minor key or something. Like, it sounded a little less poppy at first. - Or was it low energy? I felt like it was like a slightly slowed it down. - I can't remember. But like within seconds of him starting to put his part on it, I was like, oh, this is about to be so much better as a song. - Yeah. - And it did turn out to be that. And it turned out, I think because of the stuff he did and how he sounds singing on it, musically one of my favorite things we've done. - He also played guitar. - He did, you remember? - Yeah. - He had to talk to Drew on the phone and they started speaking music, which none of us knew, like literally going, okay, and then you're going to a G sharp where you go to a G flat or whatever, like literally spelled out to him the notes he wanted, the new melody to go. - Yes. - And then he got out his guitar and did those little, (mimicking guitar) like the strokes, signature style guitar in tons of different layers of it on top of it. So those courses truly bloomed in the game. - How did we record that part just on our microphone? - I don't remember. - I think he just plugged a guitar straight into our little-- - Oh, into the little shitty, that little inbox, just right into it. - Yes, he jacked right in. I remember, he was like Neo, he jacked in. - Oh yeah. - The man he said that I thought about Neo. Aw, we are so in sync. (laughing) - I thought about something else that I don't want to talk about. (laughing) - Don't know enough to it. - Man, he jacked in so clean. - He was so reliable. - Four times, strokes have been on the show four times. - At that point or total. - 2002, 2006, 2011, 2020. They weren't the musical guests this show. Am I correct? - Correct. - Yeah, so this was just because it was been on the album. - I don't remember who it was, but I bet they were absolute trash. - All right, let's talk. - Now, let's talk. - Now, Pearl Jam, you son of a bitch. - No, I love them. I take it back. I was wrong. (laughing) Took a big swing and the swing came right back at ya. - I regretted it. - Oh, dang. - Usually they have such trash bands on us. - I love you, Eddie. I'm so fucking sorry, man. I didn't know what you guys. - Wait, I might've just, I might, I, guys, the one place I hadn't searched was my email. - We're looking for the Boombox demo with Andy singing. - Yeah. - Fuck. - Oh, so close. - But I will say there's a lot of the word Boombox in hot rod emails. Pushes play on a huge Boombox, a dinky beat plays. - Was that Richardson at the pool? - Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dinky, yeah, that's exactly what happened in that scene. - I will speak in a not dinky beats, Drew Campbell's beat for Boombox was excellent. - Oh, really nice room. - Thanks, transition back. Jude Law had a very famous first musical guest. Does anybody remember who, this is the second time he hosted who the musical guest was the first time Jude Law? - Pearl Jam, also. - Ashley Simpson. - Oh, he had a memorable episode. - He had a memorable episode. - A memorable episode. - A new member, Jude Law will not surprise anybody. I think was very endearing and sweet with her at good nights because he sort of gave her a big ol' hug, like live TV. - You know, everybody's like, ah. - Who could stay mad? - And everyone's like, ah, we're not gonna forget this ever. (laughing) - What, Jeric's? - I feel like it wrote pretty easy and we were giggling when we were writing it and liking the concept. And, you know, it's our classic taking a trope and expanding on it and making it into something new. And it really took off when Julian showed up. I can't really stress that enough. - I think we're gonna say it took off when the boiled goose thing came happen. - I mean. - And it's hard. We can't undersell what level of Stroke's fans we were. Like, you and your and before me, but then I joined in way before we got SNL. Like, in 2002. - 2002. - When is this it came out? - Yeah, where it was just the album getting played over and over and over and over and over. So just even being in the room when he came to our house and starts singing and it's him. And, you know, we had gone to their concerts and his voice was coming out. We were like, holy shit. It's him singing on that album. Are there any ones that aren't sort of singles? I feel like it's almost all singles. Maybe there's one that isn't. - It's not. - You're talking about "Incred" about? - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that too. Hit after hit. I'm pretty sure old saloon was a single. - It's Jasmine. - It's first single. - "Saxman" Seth. Now who's fucking up? - Oh, it's like you don't even like us. - Spider club's worse. - Spider league. You know what? Fuck you. - I'm so sorry, Seth. - I'm sorry, Eddie Vetter, fuck that. - I'm sorry, dude man. Let's come back to that moment. We were thinking the same thing about Neo. - I'm so goddamn sleepy. - It's 4.32 Pacific time in the afternoon. FYI, for a listener. - Do you remember at the after party, Eddie Vetter came and sat at our table and it was a thrill. - I do remember that, Cueve. I remember Vetter coming and saying,
sitting with us and us being geeked as hell. - We were just geeked. He just chose our table and just came to hang. And we were not with, I don't think Julian was at the show, was he? - Uh-huh. - No, Julian was like, "Hello boys, we were like, fuck yeah." - Yeah, we're the table that got vetted. - Vetted, that vetted was a great vibe. - Oh my God, he was the best. - Yeah, he had a bottle, he's bottled a red wine, and Liz, my wife, was the massive, like, in high school, had his picture on the wall. And she went fully mute, could not strike up a conversation. Like, then she knew the Lord. - She was like, "You are at the beginning of every podcast recording?" (laughing) Couldn't get her mic to work, if you know what I mean. - She came, Liz really has a type then. - Yeah, me and Vetted, same, because we get mistaken for each other a lot. - Oh, yeah, almost identical. - There was a Pearl Jam cameo in a sketch in this show. - I don't know why I keep asking you guys, quiz trivia questions like you, know anything about the show you worked on. - We were very busy on Boombox this week. Continue your very busy on. - Do you remember there was a really funny Bobby Moynihan seeing the plate off that famous Twilight Zone episode where, like, a little Gremlins on the wing? - Oh, yeah. - And it was a really great sketch. And at one point, Jude Law looks out, and the Gremlins there with all of Pearl Jam. (laughing) And they're all just like standing on the wing with him. And then the best was, like, he sees them. And he's like, "Oh!" And then they all do the same move that the Gremlins had done the whole thing, like in Unison. And it's great. - Seth, you share with Twilight Zone, and it's not that fucking movie from the 80s or anything. - It was Twilight League? - Oh, fuck. He found a way to get you. - Obviously, we all know it was Twilight Zone, okay? - I just don't get why they're getting rich from it. It's just spiders and photos. (laughing) - How are they printing money? - But they don't want to share. - Wait, really quick, before we move on, Seth, last week's S so now, what did you dislike the most? (laughing) - I will say that this is it was like the S so now. I mean, I started September 2001. And then I was out 'cause they came January '02. - Probably. - That was like the, oh my God, I live in New York. Everybody I know is listening to this album. This album is the best thing ever. - Yeah, every after party and stuff, I can only imagine. - Yep, yep, it's really well documented and meet me in the bathroom. - Meet me in the bathroom by Lizzy Goodman. - A little trivia. The mixer guy, the name Brian Sperber, who mixed our entire incredible album, did such a good job on this song that Julian was like, who mixed this and hired him and he did Julian's really, really, really good solo album. - Yeah. - And it's a great album. - And Sperber never thanked us. - Yeah, never thanked us. - What the fuck? - What the fuck? - What the fuck in terms? - What the fuck, Sperber? - What a weird dude. - Sperber changed. - Oh, he knew he was a nice Sperber change. - He was Sperber change. - Sperber, why you change, man? - That's not the Sperber I know. The Sperber I know was gracious. - Sperber change. (laughing) - Oh my God, it's so late. It's so late, it's 4/3 in the West Coast. I've never been on something this late, this is crazy. - All right, Keith, you want to take the honors of playing this thing? - Yeah, the helm. - Take the digital helm. - Yeah, I do. - I just want to get through this so we can get to Mondo butts. Can we just speed this up? (laughing) - I knew that one. - He's never publicly spoken about boombox sets. It's one of our good ones. - Yeah, it's a criteria. - And you should never publicly speak about Mondo butts, which is why I want to get to it. - Oh man, we're going to talk about it so much. - Have we already talked about it once or no? - I feel like we have or maybe I think about it often because Mondo turns up in the old spelling bee a lot. - It sure does, and every time I'm all, oh, it could have been. - Do you think it's a Mondo butts reference from dress? They were at dress and saw-- - I mean, fucking clearly, dude, the way they're going, the amount of references they have? - Well, it did go to dress twice. Is this the second time? - Me not know. - Yorm, do you know? - Yes, it was. - So here's some other things with boombox one, because we'll have cut it all out. I just want credit. I've spent a half hour before this going through every hard drive trying to find the version with Andy singing, and I couldn't. - The only one who does research. The only fucking person. - Thank you. Thank you, Keith. Good job. - Number two, everybody that's a fan of the album might notice that there's an extroverse. - Yes. - And there's not the verse in the video. We do. - Now we're getting to it, Makiba. We did shoot that verse. And we added it. - Yes. - And I believe it was at dress. And then we went. - It was at dress. - The video's not progressing fast enough. We need to get to the old folks home. - Yes. - And we cut it. So when Kevin Miller does join the pod, guys, stay tuned. You won't want to miss this. 'Cause when he joins, he's going to go dig up dress and we will play the video and include the video, that little chunk. - Of the cut verse, the famous cut verse. - James lost verse. - And now I have not seen that since we did it either. And it probably stinks. - The Jimmy Hoffa's body of verses cut for messin' L shorts. - The good news, Keith. It can't be worse than Mondo Butts. So it was not the worst thing a cut from Jesus, age. We chose to cut it, Seth. We have integrity. - When Mondo Butts cut cut, did you think you'd gotten a raw deal? - I'm sure I was so mad. (laughing) All right, here we go, boombox. - Oh wait, should we play it with laughs? We should play with laughs, sorry. - Yeah. - And a dude just later on when we're playing Mondo Butts, there's not an option to play it with laughs. So don't ask. - Wait, wait, it wasn't, wait, wait. So it was at dress, but there's no laughs. And you can't, yeah, don't be like play the version with laughs. Like there's just not that we can't do it. - We can't. - But if you can access the dress rehearsal from the server completely then, right? - No, his point is that there was a full studio audience watching Mondo Butts, there were no laughs. And there's no way to put laughs in there 'cause they didn't give them to you. - Oh, I see, he was being funny. Yeah, I could tell that it had gone over your heads. - Well, I was looking at my phones. - He was being cruel as what he was being. - But here's what I'll say to you, Seth. I fucking can't wait to watch it because I bet you there's a lot of laughs. There's some laughs. It's, by the way, I want you to know Andy. It was one of those ones. I love, I don't get it. I love how much we're talking about something. We're gonna get to, I laughed so much harder than I thought I would watch again. - Well, great. Look at what's the most replayed parts of this. So, first off, it's the classic shot from the cover of you guys holding a fingerless gloves. People want a screen cap that. But then it's old people tongue kissing. - Oh, there's those claps. They love it. They already love it. - Oh, oh, should I do that over it? - I'm doing the gizmo pants thing on the thing. - Imagine in your mind a posh country club. - Okay, can we stop? - Yeah. I mean, first off, you're sunglasses. - Sunglasses have like rotating lights built into them. That's nice. - Yeah, it has the nightrider lights. - So fucking dope. - Wait, are they going? - Yes. - Oh yeah, they're going. - Blah, blah, blah, blah. - My favorite thing ever. - It's like kit talking on your face. - You know, before everyone had ring lights at home. - Yes. - Which is a modern part of humanity since everyone became an influencer in whatever. They were only seen in music videos. Because movies, of course, you can't see lighting in a movie or else you're taken out of the illusion. But music videos are all lights and being cool. And so you would see ring lights in the reflections and glasses and it was a cool music video thing. - Are you wearing a wig, Andy? Is that a wig? - Oh yeah. - It's got lines on the side. Is it a different color? - Yeah, it's fucking great. - It's one of my favorites that you ever had. - Me too. - And a determinator jacket. Your fucking crushes it without fastie notes, it's a wig. Like all it needs to be is like four ways that is totally different from your hair. And he knows. (laughing) - The reason, the reason that I hear. - This guy's the reason, an episode of your birth. - The reason that I'm bogged. - Yeah, you're really taking it to it. - You guys are in the burn zone tonight. - When we watched Ross Trent, your arm was like, that was God of you. - Here's the things that it looks kind of like my hair. So in my mind, I'm like, wait a minute. I'm not looking at a mirror. - Yeah, did you take my hair? - This whole look is kind of a John Connor future cyber punk John Connor, is that correct, is that? - Definitely, I think it's there. - And I also will say, my dream for this was to have a giant wall of speakers and they came through so correct. And it looks awesome. - Let's go speakers. - And we were doing the jizz in my pants in edit, little bass thump. - Yep, which I love. And you also did a little zippy speed up and losing frames on my head going up at the top, just giving it all that extra little snap, a lot of key sauce. - Let's see that. - Oh yeah. - Oh yeah. - You're like a robot. - The stuffy old money where the poor kids stuff. - They're like depression era poor. They're like from the, they're from the dust bowl. - Yeah. - Yeah, like a little bit dust bowl, a little bit of Christmas Carol. They're not doing well. - Oh, there's that, yeah. - Look how good. - That's a really good goose. That looks so impressive. - That will do six nasty. - All they eat is sauerkraut and boiled goose. Look at that. - We talked about your goose motif. Did we overlook this one or did we, oh no, it was prominent in that conversation. - Nice desat on that shot too, Keeve. - A nice desat key. - Did this guy really took that color out, made hell into person. And on purpose, as opposed to Sergio, which was all fucked up with it. That was just no color correction. That was just zero thought. - Or was it intentional? - It doesn't matter. - If it looks the same, it's about intention. - Was it actual filmmaking? - What's on the floor? Is it a bunch of confetti? - Glitter. Glitter. ♪ It is playing sauerkraut and boiled goose ♪ ♪ There's no way these people will never cut loose ♪ ♪ But then I walk in the room ♪ ♪ Hold my phone box high ♪ ♪ And what happened next? ♪ ♪ Well, close your mind ♪ ♪ Everything got out of control ♪ ♪ The music was so interesting ♪
That fucking lady's killing it now you're doing your say anything. Yeah say anything coat. Yeah, but all rolled up And it's like a shiny and shiny little more metal. Yeah exactly. I'm not gonna shy away from it There's a little bit of Rufus from Bill and Ted's happening. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, it looks a little bit like a coat That was in Space Olympics too. Yeah. No, this is very different. Yeah, this guy is like a time traveler. I mean same producer made the beat though I love love the atmosphere and the thing it's a night. We're really doing it here because we knew it was something We really believed in and Julian was coming. We wanted to do right by him in the song. This place wasn't a set by the way This was that awesome actual club that was like on the east river. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah I know that place. How great. Yeah, I remember you key that one point saying that in music videos You liked when if it was narrative that you liked narrative stuff going to slummo always I mean that became our signature move until we decided it was overdone. Yeah, yeah Where like anything where there's not someone saying the words wasn't slow and anything they were saying the words is not But then in this one Julian's also in slow even when he's singing right We did the the age-old trick that we will put here because it's not a secret Which is when you do certain music videos it's harder in rap because people can't you know rap that fast But you put the music into higher speed. So when you're on set, it sounds a little like Alvin and the chimunks Which we've brought up before three albums three albums three albums. Yeah And you speed it up and then you also film at that same speed And so when you play back in slow-mo it plays back actually at real time and everything looks a little magical We've even figured that out for snapchats I remember before like like where we would actually figure out what snapchat was shooting at or Make videos on our iPhones and then you'd be like for social media. You're like whoa How do they do that on a snapchat? Oh, right. They did where they would slow down but think it out. Yeah Yeah, but it's a classic of the genre of music videos when you think things look a little magical So Julian's choruses are all done that way. Yep, and I remember on set it being And everyone in the background dancing like Exactly. It was very funny to look at in real time. Do we have a fan on his hair? I would assume we do So you really notice, but let's see. Well, I hope we had a hope we had a professional hair stylist Yeah, he's such a fucking cool looking dude. We didn't want to mess up his hair. That's smart And you walked up to him. You are I mean just pointed his head and said death a wig. Oh, I immediately he walked through the whole restaurant Wig wig wig wig your fake your fake impossible impossible Die job die job Everybody got out on the floor. Yeah A big apple where people that fucking Jack is the fucking shit my favorite jacket I ever had in anything This is for the people listening in their cards. The one with like fur-lined leather With like red did you did they put those like red things around your arms? Yeah, I think I requested them. Yeah, just extra stuff. Yeah, it's so good And then a chain a big chain kind of shoulder baggy type strap. I should have just dressed like this normally What was I doing? Yeah, it was like taking it so seriously and you're still in the wig in this one. Oh my god No, they this is when he was allowed to cut his hair normal. Lauren said all right. That look good. Yeah. Let's keep it for the show A second verse. We just changed it. I will say yorm. Yeah speaking of real hair versus fake I had lines junior high Did this again because I thought it was funny and then by the time we did pop star I enjoyed how I looked in boombox so much that I was like I should do it for real and did I keep debating whether I should do it Do it now. Yeah, yeah Here's the thing I got at these Dominican barbers around the corner and like all of the pictures on the on the wall Just get me inspired. I'm like fuck. I should do that. Yeah, it's granted its pictures of like 14 year olds, but you're stuck your bedridden Cut your hair. However you want exactly key. Yeah. Freak flat fly. How are you set? Okay, here we go But there's we we passed my maybe my favorite line of the song which is the big apple where people never dance Yep Just like this untrustworthy narrator Yeah, just like just blowing right by a huge so many bummer every party into who's got the juice also is just so wack You have to set up the foundation for his story otherwise it's not gonna work Where people never dance Spear it's go down while profits expand the cops on the deal us. Who's got the juice? That guy's killing it the guy selling boiled goose. I'd never really He's selling you one and he's already screaming down the street to sell the next one. Yeah, God it looks awful too Yeah, it's a real it's a real light beige on that goose. Keep keep keep do you think you windowed that and then do you set up the goose? I mean it is boiled dude. This video looks so good I think we were professionally color corrected. Keep keep did you sir geo the goose? Do you say geo the goose be honest, but do you think we color corrected this year? I'm not sure That shot looks pretty good, but I don't think that that would be impossible for we could vignette it I don't know though because we shot it at S&L that week I don't think we were that deep into doing DI I think we color corrected that at a certain point We got like I just had sex and stuff was that week and when I remember finishing stamp all night You know with every you with you guys Friday night and running to company three at Saturday morning to go maybe you did them So it we did start doing that, but I don't know if we did a hair I don't know about on this one, but that shot does look like maybe yeah, this might have been this might have been us It's not obvious to me also we're from the bay Okay, since Andy's going back Andy mentioned something that I really love which is the song maquiba by AC alone And it's hard for us not to occasionally say I love making love to my maquiba to a kiva. Okay. Keep going keep that is the chorus of it But then Jonah calls me mamiba, and I don't know. I don't know if that's an AC alone. That's something else deeper. That's a AC alone beside. Oh, I don't think that's right mamiba That's me Yeah, he's got two of them in his hands, and he's just feeling it He's got some fingerless gloves too. Just some real limp keys We really put us in as criminals in a lot of these like this is definitely not the only time I've been a criminal in one type casting in my right definitely times where you've been the criminal. Yeah Wait, look at your face here Andy. So again people at home Andy is holding the boom box looking like point bling got a business man Just looking staring at him like he fucking hates his guts. Well the business man loses a dancer. Yeah, give him the jams. Oh, it's really good. That's really good setting him free It was who's idea was the glitter because it looks kickass on the floor. Oh, and when it's falling on them. Yeah, it's awesome Yeah, it's awesome, but it's awesome for the floor too and Andy because I thought it was water Well, we knew we were gonna do this slow mo thing So I think then we were just trying to figure out the shit to throw it back Yeah, how you would know he's in slow mo because if he's against nothing it just kind of gives his face kind of an interesting move And yeah, and then we just for like drop glitter and shine light at it And then the ones on the floor I think is a happy accident that happened because we dropped a bunch of glitter Yeah, yeah, yeah, it looks great. Uh, I interrupted the best the second best line first best line coming right here. Yeah, it's the best one Just to remind her it's Fred wrapped in a flag of Spain It's Fred doing the Bart man wearing a Bart man t-shirt But also in my opinion doing a very accurate Bart man Yeah, like he looks like he's in the Simpsons somehow doing it. Do you want to describe what the Bart man was? Oh, everyone knows Google that Does anyone not know what the Bart man is hit us in the dentist Look it up guys. You always said that was your favorite thing of the Simpsons ever. Oh, yeah, Bart man became a thing Yeah, Bart man changed comedy. I like the one where Lisa was singing the blues Yeah, purest. I mean, I was the age Seth where I did love the Bart man. Of course. I did too I was like I can't but what they did a song in a video and I was so fucking hyped and you grow up and you're like Yeah, I know more like Homer and Moe. That's what I relate to now You were the Bart man and now you're Moe. Yeah, now I'm Barney No That was saddest character. Yeah, check back in one more grandpa, you know That's my that's my monologue audition my yeah monologue I audition with now is like when I was a kid that was the Bart man Oh, now I'm just a fucking Barney or a moe all the guys you're a virgin suicide character. Yeah Why are you talking like that? It's all I talk now You're gonna tell your grandkids. I wasn't always like this with it.

So how did we come to that? - I gotta forgot that. - I forgot. - I thought he just boiled just like that. - Dude, I think I remember exactly how it happened during it. - It was a joke. It was you doing a joke. I clearly, that's not gonna be in the song, joke, right? - No, that's not what it was. It was, especially considering there's a whole other verse that was omitted here. We had hit boiled goose three times already, right? And we did it here, and we all agreed, listening back. We were like, it doesn't feel like boiled goose is like, it felt like diminishing returns. - It was too many times. - Yeah, and I, I don't know if it was me just trying it or you guys suggesting it, but we were like, we need to try something different with it, and that was what happened. - You know, hey, a lot of great comedy comes from boredom, boredom of yourself. And necessity, I would say me saying boiled goose like that is the joke our friend, my Rudolph, says to me the most of anything I've done. - I mean, it's really special. - I like to say that boredom, though, is the mother of comedy, right? - Hmm. - All right. - It does apply to the thing that we do talk about, and I talk about a lot of Nick again, of like, when a joke is a B, as opposed to an A, you still let it slide a lot of the times, but when something's a C or a D or an F, that's the one you go and work on, and then that's the ones that end up being the best jokes in a thing, like the broken ones, the dangerous ones are the ones that are okay, 'cause you just let those pass. - Yeah. - But the, but this one where it sucked, 'cause it was Boombox, then becomes the best thing and the whole thing. - So I guess what you're saying, Akiva, is that if someone's working with you, you welcome all kinds, the broken ones, the dreamers. - Yeah. - Yeah, you could say that. Keep going. - The once parts, now Barney's. (laughing) - What's, we're chewing them to their Bartman face. (laughing) - You get real close to Andy sometime and say, can I talk to Bartman? I know he's in there. (laughing) - That's what you said to Liam, right? - Let me talk to you again. I'm getting a lot of crusty. - Liam, Liam, we gotta see. We're dealing with the C here. I gotta get to Bartman. - This is more something in post. - I haven't heard Bartman's voice in a long time, Keith. - A long time. - All right, we're in the cafeteria, right? The old NBC cafeteria that we've shot many, many, but look how great it looks compared to-- - It looks great. - Yeah, it doesn't look like that at all. - This is where you punched Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, this is where I'm-- - I'm a stone brother of her arm. - She's a cancer chef. - The fire light stuff, the laser cap. Lindsay Lohan was in there. - I broke my arm. - Yeah. - Yeah, we haven't even gotten there yet, spoiler alert.

(upbeat music) - It's great shots. Some gratuitous fun stuff at the end there. - We liked it. - I want to use sliding on your knees is the best thing we ever did, maybe? - I remember when it had, there was a build up and I was like, "Hey, hey, hey, just go wide. "Let me try this." And you're like, "Don't hurt yourself!" (laughing) - Even right then, I was worried about it. - I'm done with all the shots yet. (laughing) - And I feel like the vase that Julian smashes is probably just an extra prop that they were like, "What do you wanna do with this?" I'm just holding the smashing. - Or I thought maybe he requested it. Am I wrong? - Did he? It feels so, I wish it had rained. - Oh yeah. - Andy, if you did that knee slide now, would both knees immediately explode? - Oh my God. I don't think I'd even make it to the ground. (laughing) - It would just be you crumpling in a heap of glitter. - Yeah, I'd be like, "All right, here I go!" - And then the camera would roll and then it would just be an empty frame. (laughing) - What happened to him? - Are you coming or are you doing it? - No, you fucking exploded. He's right off camera there, it's a pile of dust. - No, I did it. I did it. I'm over here. - Do Barney off camera, his knee's just exploded. (screaming) - It's a good fucking Barney. (laughing) (groaning) - No, hey, you're home, man. - Dude, I'm out of bed. (laughing) - I mean, I feel like, I just want to say this is, I can't believe I'm finding this late-era Andy impression. I never knew it had. So good, I'm surprised he didn't audition with me. - I know, it's shocking. When considering he tried to get Beatles on like 10 times, it's like, "You got a Barney?" - Hey, so I said my name. (laughing) - What? I said it what? - Yeah, you can be there. - No more, no more. (laughing) - No more. - This is it, it's my favorite. - Wait, we have voice notes. We have voice notes, who do you got up from? I'll just gonna let her speak for itself, okay? - Hey guys. - Four to the people at home, it's Julie. - Okay, I mean, I still get references to this all the time, boombox. I mean, probably feel like any post, there's like images of the fingerless gloves. It was, I would say it's very inspiring for me to see you guys, how people work together, respecting each other and playing with each other. Which was kind of, honestly, unfortunately, kind of lacking in my experience and creative endeavors. You guys are kind of like a band, I feel, a great band. (laughing) We are kind of like a band. It did feel like almost like a test in a way, 'cause you guys work with such big names. So I remember, before I sang on it, I changed the chords, 'cause I had this chord progression and there's like major chords in there, they sound kind of maybe happier. So it's not better instrumentally, but I just remember Yorma. He was like, I don't think that's better. And I just remember kind of like, I did say that. - I just remember thinking, oh man, I gotta stay on task. And like, he'll like it when I do the singing. But, and I did, to be honest. - I don't know, yeah, the house was really cool. You guys worked, oh, by the way, shout out to Maya Rupert, my dearest sweetest friend who listens to you guys and said, if I ever do this for boombox, I have to give her a shout out. - Is that Maya? - Love you Maya. - Maya Rupert! - Rupert! - Right, just killed Maya. - I remember Joanna was there. She really liked it and I thought, okay, cool. An ultra talented mega musician that I respected, is loving it, so that's good. - Yeah, I bet she didn't judge him. - What else, what else? Oh, by the way, Akiva congrats on naked gun. It was so good. - Okay, there was an extroverse, I remember also, in boombox that you guys cut wisely. You guys can't argue with the results. Do you guys still have that? You should almost play it, maybe. Question, not refund, or not. - Is that the head of the gang? - Yeah, let's go fucking get some funny jokes in the parts that were cut too. Yeah, I don't know. Miss you guys, you guys are the best. Miss you guys on SNL too. - Keep this part. - Yeah, another thing, just 'cause it's comedy and there's, I guess, a lightness to the ambition. You guys can still be deep and powerful, but maybe 'cause there's still a goofiness in a sense, it doesn't ever veer into that self-seriousness that I feel like musicians and other artists kind of veer into. And so that was really the best and very inspiring. And I think a lot of that energy was maybe subconsciously brought to what I was figuring out the voids and how we operate and stuff. - Fuck away, Blue Angel. - And I had to help to prove strokes thing too, at least with the three guys that I'm friends with, work with and talk with still. (laughing) Sorry Nick, I'm just kidding. (laughing) Yeah, but just working with people who respect each other is a necessity have discovered. You guys tell me that. Yeah, or at least to work on something that you're just kind of happy or that's embedded with kind of the energy of something you always feel happy about looking back on. So I feel that way about Boombox and it's definitely the one thing I'll be remembered for, I mean, contribution to society. - Thanks, dude. - Oh my gosh, what a sweet man, so sweet, dude. - Do you guys remember, like I remember when we were recording with him, Julian would occasionally get sort of deferential to us. I was always like, what are you talking about? Like you're fucking incredible, but he would, like you know, he was such a sweet person. - He's a nice, very humble fella who's made some of our favorite music of all time. - Has made evidence, but that note was incredibly sweet. - So nice, thank you Julian for sending that. And by the way, he did it, oh well, it's Seth's gone. But you can tell us, you can tell us. Yeah, go ahead. - Well, Andy knows. - Andy knows on the text. - He did it last second. We texted him a half hour before we started and he managed to do that. But I want Seth to hear it so he can know like how nice it was. - It's gone, it's moving forward. But I do think that it's nice to be on finally with three guys who mutually respect each other. - That is nice of him to say that. - I can't imagine how what was going on for him to have to say that about us. - We respect each other. - Yeah, yeah, we're very sweet. - We're really sweet guys. We're three sweet cookies. - Seth, you're back. Were you doing some coke, dude? - Just a little. - You guys are like a band. - You guys are kind of like a band. - I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm. - Seth, we asked Julian for that a half hour before we started. - Did you really? - That's how great he is that he gives that right away. - That's really awesome. I asked somebody for a voice note.
half an hour ago as well, shouldn't we complete the circle here with the lost verse? The lost verse, yeah. Yeah, please. My man, Makiba. I love how you, Yoram, was like, we just, it's so hard for us to not say that Makiba thing, and it's like episode fucking 75, and neither of you have ever said it. They had to be brought back to this time. Yeah. I just like that there's still, you know, secrets in our closet. Now picture if you will, a bunch of business man, stuffed in the board room like pigs and a pet, the ties around the necks are like a hangman's news. In the middle of the table, there's a boiled goat. People smell, makes you want to puke in the sink. These dudes will never dance. Yeah, that's what you think. I stride in the room, all young and hip, hold up my butt. And sing, listen to this. Oh, great shot. Fucking great turn. People rejoice instead of financing. If we can see emotions, we're shattered. We're all white people dancing. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, this is pretty good. It's very enjoyable, but it is diminishing returns. It's the same thing again. We don't need it. Yes. Good for the song. Don't need it for the video. Agreed. Andy say boiled goose one more time, the silly way. Oh, yeah. The Lord at least is stealing. There's no excuse. Everything for lunch they eat. Boy, you'll get it. So I grab a poop. That's the end, too. Yeah. There's so many little musical hits in it that I love too. Like we put in a massive 808 on TurboBase. TurboBase. Boom. Yeah, that's very satisfying. I like it. But that's talking about Boombox. It's criterion. I don't need to hear anything about it. Oh, all right. Well, out of mutual respect. I'd like to hear other people's opinions, but okay, fine. One of the interesting things about Boombox, in my opinion, is we did it way after the album came out. Like we had gone sort of through the singles, right? And we were into the next season. Yeah, it's a year. Is it a full year later? Because the album came out February 2009, and this is March 2010. Yeah, we had done mother, lover, and stuff. You know what I mean? We had already started making originals for the show that ended up on our second album. Yeah. And we finally got to it. I was so glad that we eventually made a video for it. You're saying that's how deep the fucking bench was. You're the one who said it's all singles. Fuckin' smack. Just a lesson about how we could still do the video for Japan. Oh my God. We should still do that. Hey, you know who would love it if we did the video for Japan? Our wives. Oh, right. Well, they could come and they'll just. No, they can't come. No, no, no, no. Get it. No. Keep on. Absolutely not. What's the fucking point of it? Why even do the video if they're there? What are kids you're gonna come to? This is too close to real. Too close to real. Hey, who got real nervous when Julian said Maya Rupert? And you were like, "That's not her name." All of us. All of us. They were like, "God, no." We can't even forget that. Maya Rupert is the funniest way to miss them. I mean, look, he's an artist. He's an artist. I was like, "Oh, fuck, Julian's lost it." She's on a bunch of TV shows, movies. Yeah. Maya Rupert, like, "Oh, man. I've been watching Loom." She plays this rich lady. Maya Rupert. That's definitely what my dad would say. All right. Mundo butts. Before we talk about Mundo butts. It's just that transition. Sorry. All right, let's get serious. Mundo butts. All right. What everybody's been waiting for. You talked about you and Rob Klein wrote Mundo butts. You and Rob Klein wrote Mundo butts. So, this was the first time we tried it with Jew Law. It was. I don't remember why. Let's just watch it. You're watching Tacoma Public Access. Broadcasting from our studio downtown right next to the public zoo. Coming up next, Mundo butts with Dave and the Scooch. It's a fucking radio. Mundo butts. Mundo butts. Mundo butts. With Dave and the Scooch. Hi, welcome to Mundo butts. The only show dedicated to bringing you all the most bodacious butts and down. I'm dead. And this is the Scooch. Scooch-a-do. All right. Again, if we can't show it, maybe we show a picture from it. I don't know what we're allowed to show. Andy is in like a 90s polo button up that's got like a purple and turquoise stripes. And he's got a blonde hair. Not a flat top. I think it looks-- It's a little pranksters. It's a little-- Yeah, that's real. It looks to me like if Zach and Screech were smushed into one character. It's sticking straight up in the air like you were Zach and you touched one of those electric things that make your hair stand up. Yeah. And then we got Jude Law looking like I've never seen him before with like floppy, dirty blonde hair as well and a full goatee. Yeah. And like some ripped jeans and some old long sleeve t-shirt just looking like a dirt bag. A lot. I mean so first of all, these are like dirt bag California guys. Yeah. But they're weirdly in like a wood panel. It's like everything about the set's weird. No. It's good. You heard a leather couch, wood walls. It's like wildly cheap look. It's like a trashy basement. That's trying to look fancy. So they have one like Greek style pillar. Also, the audience is a little stumped as to how they're supposed to feel about these guys. When you were hearing Mondo Buck for those-- who are you listening? It was like close ups of lady shorts in their butts. I do like that we edited that though because it doesn't feel like the editing of the show. No. And the butts are very intentionally unsexual. Yes. They're just average butts as if you stole photos of the first 10 women you saw in New York. But they're lady's butts and these are dudes and people are like, wait. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You guys definitely enjoy the part in Splash when John Candy's doing the upskirts with his mirror. Right. Yeah. Thank you for putting it into words. Our audience understands. And Seth speaking to the set that you're just bagging on, it's the next Wayne's world and it knows it. All right. Let's keep going. Oh, is that a butt sculpture? It's like a bust of a butt. If it is, it's not framed well. Well, yeah. It's off camera now. Yeah. Mondo bust. We got a sick show lined up today. The throttle will be joined by a hot chick from town that we're going to try and convince to show us her butt. But first up is my main man's skewed. Oh, he's out of the way. A baseball hat on. Buts of the week. Hey, my breath. That also sucks. You know how this kids go. Can you pause it real quick? It's not a marble, but it's just a regular marble bust. There's literally no reason for that. Oh yeah. You're right. It's like Caesar. It's like Caesar. Yeah. But then there's both on the wall, but also the Parthenon. It's crazy. Oh, maybe that's going to get explained as it goes on. It will not. What is that? This is literally a picture of the Parthenon. Are they doing it from the Lord? The Uncle's basement? It's awful. When Lord needs it. It's on a digital set. When Lord needed a set, he would say get Keith, who is the set designer. I bet he fucking screamed it. Dude, it's fucking iconic. Instantly iconic. Dude, if we can't put this sketch online, please take a screen grab. Within 15 seconds, they're confessing to be sex event. Please put a screen grab of this frame so people can see why they're surrounded by Greek artifacts. They love they love butts and ancient Greece. Because it's high brow, you guys. I don't understand where the disconnect is.

Buts of the week. Yeah. Wait. So he sure does a 23 and is in the bulls colors. Is that an actual license? It's a home made. Oh, hard work. Hard work. Hard work. So don't make it more painful than it has to be. Well, the booties I took pictures of around town this week. How many booties do you snag? Six. Six. Six. Break. Oh, that's a lot. This chick I saw walking in the parking lot. Of course, we share with the zoo. I said, what's up? She gave me the finger. But then when she walks away, I snapped out keeper while they're trapping. Regular fat. But number two. Make sure these butts are so normal. I didn't know. Well, whatever it is, I hope it's but is Miggity Miggity Mondo. Oh. Oh. Oh. Let's take it to the zoo. Okay. All right. So there's a big turn. Gorilla. And man in the gorilla suit just jumped into the set. Yeah. All right. Did you not hear when he said we share the parking lot with the zoo? I did.
