I'm going to talk about this.
So I'm going to stop with the disclaimer.
But we would go off beat and then it would sound intentionally off beat.
And then we would go on beat and it would start to sound slightly too good if you can even believe that.
And so there's just a sweet spot these guys have to live in that is shockingly slightly more difficult than you would think for how bad they sound.
They're not that awkward, but they're not that cool.
And it's just this little lane they have to be in.

But it was always delightful and never stressful because I think for a few reasons.
I mean, the first one we're doing, we know is just for us because we don't even have jobs and we're doing it for fun.
And then the rest of them, we kind of always knew was still that.
Like we knew at worst, we'll just put it on YouTube.
It doesn't have to be on the album.
It certainly will never be on SNL because we knew they didn't want them.
So it would be the thing we would fit in the cracks when Andy was busy.
And just, I don't remember a single stressful feeling around these four, which is really nice.

And I think maybe, did somebody else ever help us?
My memory is it's the three of us, but I think Chester might have helped on one or two.
