It's been a year. ♪ Baby, it's go outside ♪
- It's been a year since we posted that video.
That escalated quickly.
- Yeah, we felt the need to just quickly explain
all of the craziness surrounding that video.
It was wild.
We got 75 million views in about a week
across all of our platforms.
- So, funny story, we'd actually written a song
the year before, so we wrote it in 2017.
- '17, you came in from the car and you were like,
"Honey, they had that Dean Martin song on the radio.
"Listen to it really quick, it's a little bit creepy."
- Well, if you listen to it with a certain lens,
it seemed it was a little,
I couldn't believe that we'd been singing it for that long,
not that I felt like it needed to be taken off the radio,
I just felt like we needed a different version.
- But that was a year before
it became this national argument.
Remember it was all over Fox News and CNN,
they're all talking about the video
and she noticed it a year before,
so we wrote a different version.
- We wrote a different version the year before
and I actually recorded Penn singing it
at the kitchen counter in 2017.
We sent it to a few of our friends to--
- Female friends.
- To our female friends, saying is this highly offensive?
Does it seem like we are mocking victims
of the Me Too movement?
- Because remember, this is 2017 and it was fresh.
- It was peak Matt Lauer, okay.
- Yeah, Matt Lauer, the producer from Hollywood.
Those stories were less than a week old
when we wrote that. - And so we felt like,
we sent it to a few of our girlfriends
and they felt like it was too soon.
It came off that we were mocking victims,
which we would never, ever do
and so, we sat on it for a year
and then the next year I'm like, I think we could do this.
So, we set up the camera in our living room.
He recorded it in one take.
So, I know John Legend and Kelly Clarkson
have their cool version, we love that version, too,
but I bet you they spent a little more time on theirs.
We spent four minutes recording that video.
- A couple of random things about that video,
I am a very low-brow person
and I got interviewed by The Wall Street Journal for that.
- Did you?
- The highfalutin Wall Street Journal.
I don't know why, they just called me.
They were like, "This was a really good social satire
"and a statement for the universe
"and the way that the world is."
And I'm like, "No, it was just basically,
"a guy who's uncomfortable." (laughs)
That's all the song is meant to be.
- Well, thank you very much for watching, for sharing,
and we just wanted to give you
a little bit of that back story.
- Also, bonus footage, the first comment that I got,
text from my friend, was from my buddy, Jake, who was like,
"I bet you were furious when you hit that mic."
- Because he hit the mic--
- I did it (laughs).
I did it in one take and when I hit the mic,
I was like, in my head, it was like son of a (mumbles).
I'm gonna have to shoot it over.
- But we didn't shoot it over. - Because we're lazy.
- We're a little lazy. - Yeah.
- Okay, happy holidays.
