[Steve] Okay so what's on the docket for today we are meeting with JK studios to talk
about a potential collaboration that I'm just like out of my mind excited about
Um... I'm hoping this is where we're supposed to meet.
Hello?
so now that you've had the full tour of the main floor.
Yeah, we're recording.
Take two.
I had said REC right there.
The JK studios main floor Arboretum here.
We're hoping that the fourth floor shows a little more promising area that's where
we're headed. On the fourth floor, we're gonna be meeting with Stephen. By the way
Stephen with a PH so he's an imposter.
He said that he doesn't want his face shown
in this video.
Which comes to think about I don't even know how I should take that.
if I sit the same we'll come up with
some great things...
We lost Paul.
We're gonna do our best to acquiesce to his
wishes and be sure that his lovely visit just not shown in our videos.
Come on in an elevator, Paul!
[Paul] Alright!
Okay, here we are.
Here he is JK studios how you doing?
Nice to meet you. Thanks for meeting with us today.
Actually, he's over here. Okay.
Hey! how are you?
Nice to meet you! [Stephen] Thanks for coming!
[Steve] Great shoes! I love these! where did you get those?
[Stephen] You're so nice. [Steve] Yeah great knee caps too!
[Stephen] You're a shoe guy. Can tell. [Steve] Yeah totally!
So this is excited
this is this is way fun. It is the whole production and you're seeing that these
elements go on. But on the freelancers episode, all of a sudden the musical will
be muted in the background and you'll have an interaction of like did you do
this? Know I thought you were gonna do that.
[Stephen] well what would really sell the comedy is especially if you
were taking it too seriously.
[Steve] Oh way too seriously.
[Stephen] I would think we would want some of your crew to help to really nail stylistically what a Piano Guys video looks like.
yeah it's not necessary about the camera work as much as it's about...
[Steve] I would agree with that
[Stephen] But if the comedy is the balance you do want some camera movement that's
suggesting to you how seriously he's taking it.
[Steve] Absolutely, exactly we would have to figure that out
if your crew likes the idea, they like the direction, I think it's something
that we could do without too much
complications.
[Stephen] Yeah.
[Steve] We're musicians.
We get taken advantage of even more than comedians.
okay thanks Stephen see you later, see you later thanks guys
okay so we just had a great meeting with JK studios and Stephen, the faceless wonder.
what if, what if like
[Steve] So the meeting was a great success.
Just was exciting you know it's sort of that electricity you feel when it's the right
idea, right timing, and right collaboration.
So totally feel out
really excited and I'm actually excited to look back on this day when this is
all done, which could be like nine months from now.
Remember when we're creating
this kind of stuff, we're thinking so far ahead, and then of course we released
Avatar today, and the first comment is
"what are you gonna do next?"
Just enjoy the project for one day
please.
I think it's like that ideas...
[Guy Passing By] Can I take a picture of you?
[Steve] Okay that's kind of creepy.
Well pleasure to meet you.
Let's get the selfie for
the kids.
All right
Smile
[Steve] So should I sit here?
or Paul,
how long are you staying in
[Paul] Just overnight, but you know there's a
few things you gotta bring.
[Steve] These are
just your hair products?
[Paul] Yeah it's just
my hair products.
[Steve] You got a CPAP at Paul's camping trip
right here.
People, he rides in style.
See? most of us like most of us just ride in
the seat, and we sit in the seat.
No, no, no, no, no.
Not when you're as big time as Paul.
You lay down. Yup, that's right.
Easy Rider all the way up.
Wait a minute.
As I suspected.
What did you have?
[Paul] Egg McMuffin baby.
[Steve] Of course.
[Al] So we've decided we can all fit
Paul's car.
But we have a small problem. And I'm gonna show you.
Because this is
how Paul travels, he's got a bad back.
Here we go Oh Paul's travels he travels
in luxury lay off.
[Steve] This is the Paul
[Al] Camper Paul lays here while someone drives him, and so now we have to lay in
here because now there's no seat, but he
has the biggest vehicle.
[Steve] So, we're gonna
go we're gonna go eat some sushi but so we're gonna kind of roll ourselves into
this for those.
[Al] John's get going maybe
[Steve] This is a TPG sushi roll
[Al] The two smaller guys.
[Steve] Okay!
[Al] The smaller guys. That's
one good thing about being tall and big. You can be in the front.
Okay have fun! Bye!
That looks cozy.
[Al] Hey I'm gonna bring
the snacks buying about once we
get about 30,000 feet.
Ok, great.
[Steve] Oh there we go! You stay on your side.
[Steve] Dad! Jon touches me!
[Paul] Now, gotta get
these guys out of the back
[Al] Is Jon asleep?
Jon, we're here!
Nice and cozy. He's fallen asleep.
Jon? Jon? Jon? Jon-- Jon!
Baby's dead.
[Al] Well I mean should we just leave him here?
[Steve] At least it's kind of set up as a hearse. I don't know.
[Al] Well, we'll bring you some sushi.
[Steve] Okay, so we've been to Japan many times.
But we think this could rival any sushi we've had in Japan.
If this could stand the test of Tokyo.
[Al] This is the best sushi in the world and we have been all around the world.
Paul actually likes this sushi place.
[Paul] It's really good.
[Steve] We served missions for our church in Korea.
[Al] Ne Ne Ne. (Yes, Yes, Yes)
(Speaking in Korean)
[Al] Anyway, long story short.
I talked to this lady. She's like,
"Van Der Beek? Is that you? oh my"
[Al] I'm like yeah
she's like "I remember you from my mission in 1994! When you serve your
mission in Korea."
[Al] Thank you (Speaking in Korean)
(Speaking in Korean)
안녕하세요 (Annyeonghaseyo = Hello)
[Steve] What is so good about the sushi, well, you'll soon find out that Itto, the master sushi maker,
is very much like John Allen I as we approach our music. We craft it very
carefully. We ensure that all the freshest freshest musical ingredients go
into the recipes behind our music. That's very much like Itto has. He ensures the
fish is that this used in the sushi. He ensures that it's so fresh, that it's
never frozen, never fishy, but he also combines it with all kinds of incredible
ingredients that you wouldn't imagine ever being combined. So, we're gonna show
you some of those rolls.
So check this out!
[Al] Most people that come here like the
regular people, they get these right.
These are nice! These are nice too these
nice wooden chopsticks. These are great. But you know just like you get frequent
flyer miles, when you travel a lot.
I created frequent sushi eating chopsticks.
[Steve] The chopsticks Oh
[Al] So, check this out!
Let's find my chopsticks. Let's see..
There they are!
Oh you found it!
[Steve] I think mine are by you.. no you're somewhere...
[Al] Okay! look at that check that
out! Al and Rachel. [Steve] Why did
you get the top row? [Al] Hey, are you in my shot.
[Steve] Sorry.
[Al] Al and Rachael. Our own
personalized chopsticks. look that. Al and Rachel.
(Speaking in Korean)
[Steve] Look at this. look I even have chopsticks for my friends. Steve's friends.
There's Jon's chopsticks.
[Jon] These are my special chopsticks.
[Steve] So Jon is sort of like a
silver medallion Itto sushi.
We are diamond medallion.
[Al] This is diamond platinum salmon medallion gold triple luts, we're tobiko medallions.
[Al] Cute cinematic music please.
I could probably read that...
[Paul] You got something on your face.
