-Hey, guys. We're hanging out with Jon Hamm right here.
Now...
[ Cheers and applause ]
I know we were saying earlier, you -- you were in a musical,
but you were never in a band.
-I mean, it's, like, not entirely true.
-Yeah, a lot of people don't know this,
but before our careers took off, we were both in a --
-I just didn't want to brag.
-Well, we were both in a band together.
-Yeah. I mean, I know. It's -- I should have brought it.
I should have brought this. -What?
-I found one of our old touring T-shirts the other day.
We were in a band called Burlap. -Burlap.
[ Laughter ]
Burlap. We were sort of, like,
an outlaw, country, rock 'n' roll.
-Rock 'n' roll. Yeah, country.
-Yeah, but looking back, I think we might have focused
a little too much on our image.
-No, no. It was a good look. It was the right look.
I just feel like that the songwriting
really needed a little work. -Right.
People would come to our shows based off of our look
and they expected to hear songs about trucks and trains
and love gone wrong.
-Mamas and... -Mamas. Yeah.
-But we did not write songs about any of that.
-Not at all. No, we did not.
Well, you're not gonna believe this.
-No. Don't tell me you have a clip.
-[ Laughter ] -I have a clip.
Here's the very first performance of Jon Hamm and I
in our old band, Burlap.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Tractorfest '99! How y'all doing tonight?!
-Whoo!
-[ Cheers and applause ]
We are Burlap!
And just like the fabric,
we are rough, rugged, and itchy as heck.
-Country style!
I see a lot of outlaws in the crowd tonight.
What do you say we rock this house across state lines?
-Ha ha! I think we got just the song
to keep Smokey off our tail.
Hit it!
-One, a-two. A-one, two, three.

[ Audience jeering ]
-Oh, no. That's not...
Hey! -Hey! Come on!
-I got to say...
[ Cheers and applause ]
I-I will say, that holds up a lot better than I remember.
-Yeah, yeah. -It wasn't bad.
-Yeah, it certainly went a lot better
than our performance at Bootscoot '99.
-Oh, Bootscoot. Guh! A disaster!
I'm really glad you don't have a clip of that.
-Well... -No way!
-Let's look at another clip of me and Jon's old band, Burlap.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Alright!
Bootscoot '99, let's hear some noise!
-Ohh!
[ Cheers and applause ]
In case our reputation does not precede us,
we are Burlap,
and we're basically musical chicken wire!
-Yes, sir!
It looks like we got us a lot of rascals out here tonight.
But what do you say we wrestle these varmints up?
-Country style!
-A-one, a-two. A-one, two, three.

It was not as intense as our farewell.

-Well, yeah. Of course.
I'm talking about Rustbucket '99.
-Oh, Rustbucket. -Let's take a look.
The third and final performance ever...
-[ Sighs ]
-[ Laughter ] -...by Burlap.
Here we go.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Rustbucket '99! Let's get rowdy!
-Whoo!
-Now, just in case you didn't read
your commemorative festival program,
we are Burlap, and our tour bus is a wheelbarrow.
-Heh! Country style!
-Oh, man, you know, you're always saying that,
but why don't you tell them
what "country style" really means?
-Well, take a Little rock, a little roll, a little rebel,
and a little rear tire damage,
then you smother that thang in gravy.
-Oh, hit it!
-A-one, two. A-one, two, three.
