Chapter 1: What is the story behind 'Property of the Queen'?
Oh, maybe it's two weeks ago. I think that's from Eurovision, though.
Sorry if I... Because the finals of Eurovision are May 19th, which was four days ago. Oh, all right.
Well... Here's just a Kevin sent us a translation. The clock strikes. Now is the time. All worries will soon disappear. The best cure for body and soul for wood paneled walls. A little on the nose. We're going to have a sauna sauna steam up and release all stress today. Sauna brothers. We're the ones who glow 100 degrees. Well, then just having a sauna sauna throw water on.
So the sweat just whirls around. Oh, sauna bathing. Yeah, we're going to have a sauna sauna steam up. You know, a lot of these lyrics would tie in very nicely to the Dennis Franz shower scene.
Oh, yeah. That's a mashup I'm interested in.
I'm just glad that they mentioned 100 degrees because when my brother was out in Finland, we checked the temperature. Nobody was in the sauna, so people weren't going in and out. So it was the hottest it was ever. And it was 104 degrees Celsius, which I don't know if is even possible because that seems like it'd be wildly illegal in the United States. That's over 200 plus degrees outside.
weigh in on the comments i don't know what it actually is uh kaj is the name of the band nice work guys yeah really fun i do think that owes a lot to sigh also like the choreo and the type of song yeah so there's some gung-hum style yeah am i saying that right
So anyway, they crushed it. Congratulations. And also thank you for the listener who suggested we watch that because that was a good time.
What if it was them? Oh, yeah.

Chapter 2: What was it like working with the Jonas Brothers?
Fuck, I know this. What the fuck is her name? She plays like a trumpet or something.
Yeah, old-timey trumpet. Like it's like a French horn, though. Celine Dion.
Keeve, just real quick, though, what were a few of the acts that you promoted shows for?
Well, yeah, when I was like 19 and 20 in college and I was in Santa Cruz and I wanted certain bands to come, but they weren't necessarily planning, I would then just reach out and be a promoter out of nowhere to try to get them. So I did the Alcoholics, which was one of our favorite groups. Did you also design the Flyers? Why do I think you designed the Flyers?
Yeah, I did eventually start trying to design them. The Far Side and AC Alone, like Freestyle Fellowship, those guys.
I wouldn't put this in the hustler spirit camp of things. You just wanted to see bands and that was very cool. But I remember thinking like, wow, Keith's doing big things up there. That's pretty cool.
I had no clue what I was doing. In hindsight, sometimes I think about some of the things and I'm like, oh, that was unprofessional. But they also knew they were talking to some 19-year-old college kid. Fake it till you make it.
But do you remember, Keith, do you remember that when we were in high school and we were trying to get free records that you figured out that if we had a publication that
that we could get free records we so we made a hip-hop magazine called up in the cut and designed it and then put fake articles in it was like a pamphlet and then i don't know that it really worked like i don't think it did i don't think it did we attempted up in the cuts real good

Chapter 5: How did the reception of 'I'm On a Boat' compare to other shorts?
Oh, yeah. Get your towels ready. It's about to go down. Everybody in the place. Hit the.
How much longer after was Classroom Instruments? That was for Popstar Press. Okay, so that said, whose idea was it to do that song as part of Classroom Instruments? Who came up with the arrangement? How many takes did you have to do? Was it difficult to sing without cursing? That was all them, right?
Good.
No.
And that was all them because they're amazing, obviously. And so they had worked it all out, except for we figured out what our replacement curse words would be.
This was a good opportunity for us to steal credit. Like we did the arrangement for the roots. We came in and decided what they would do.
I watched that the other day, the classroom instruments. I forget why. Maybe my kids were asking about something. And I was pleasantly surprised that we sounded like the record, even though it's classroom instruments.
Oh, nice.
I was like, hey, we could really do it. We sound totally like normal and like the record for the amount. We always talk about faking it. I was like, hey, look at that. Can't fake that. It's a single shot.

Chapter 7: What was the inspiration for the song 'Barabarabastu'?
That's their slogan.
Yeah, A.M.P.M. Mini Marts. That was their slogan for a really long time. They're catchphrases. That's too much good stuff. Too much good stuff, right? A.M.P.M.
Oh, Andy has one about Taco Bell, too. Just talking about being breakfast defectors.
Oh, yeah. I have gone on long, long stretches of time where I like to talk about being a breakfast defector.
And I do legitimately, without any humor anymore, say, let's think outside the bun. Yeah, that is true.
Yeah, you do say that.
That one I don't like because other people say that. And just anyone witnessing us knows we live moss. Yeah.
We do live moss. We're not afraid to live moss. But when you're doing something crazy edgy, Seth, you're like, I guess I'm just a breakfast defector. Yeah.
You're remaking the Robin Williams movie of Moscow and the Hudson, but you're just defecting from breakfast. That's right. If you're loco.
