And individuals who sat around the table realized that if we didn't have true representative democracy for everyone, this country would never become the country that was guaranteed under the Constitution.
I was there. I don't know if it's a great story.
He didn't remember if it was a birthday or how many people, but he knew Azul. Yeah.
And they were like, sir, you clearly have the picture. We were like 22 and broke, and we went out there. And whatever volume, whatever decibel level you're supposed to yell to root on your knight, Azul, your picture double all the time. We're all like, yeah, Azul. And you're like, Azul!
He's dressed like a hot dog.
It was an Olympic themed episode. And here's a song about Olympics.
I was shocked by what I would consider almost dead air in the video. I'd attribute it to you were writing the song based on the music, everything you just said, not thinking necessarily about a video at all. No. It was like, oh, wow, we're free of thinking about videos and thinking about the audience. We're finally alone in Encino getting to just make art and make our music.
It's going to be our funny music, but it's for the album experience. And you really feel that when you're watching the short because, boy, oh, boy, there's vamping. There's even moments where you're not. There's no vocal.
Just music playing and shots of you kind of moving around.
No, we knew. We were like, what is going to be on screen during these long gaps between jokes?
Is it twice as funny in the last minute when jokes are coming fast and that it had a slow burn because you kind of... You don't give up on the sketch. I wouldn't say that. No, no, no.
You're kind of lulled into something, and then it ends so strong in the last minute with all the twists and turns and rapid fire of what's canceled and all the logistics that it is, maybe there's some magic to the fact that it's kind of spongy at the beginning, let's say. I don't know.
So you're just trying to understand what you're like.
And then he's just like, you're a winner. And you're like, okay. Then he goes, welcome to the Space Olympics.
I'm not even saying it's bad. I'm saying maybe there's a magic to it.
Exactly. I made slightly uncomfortable in moments where I'm like, we're not fully in control necessarily. What Seth just said, I think, is it. Because when you are just listening on an album experience, you can just vibe out on the cool music and on where's this going. There's something about having to stare you in the eyes while you're waiting for it to happen that is more uncomfortable. Yeah.
Yep, that sounds right.
Yeah. I don't dislike it. It's just a little middling to me. I think that that gives it anarchy, and that's why maybe Phil and Chris, maybe what's appealing to them about it is that there's a sense of anarchy to it, I think.
Do you think he's talking about his sins in relation to what he did by creating Olympics in Space or other sins that have been not named in the song?
I mean, we never cleared it or asked. We just did.
