Ep 336: A Conversation with Paul and Michael of Smash Mouth

What is up, Podheads? Back with another episode of the Podio Slate Podcast.

My name is Tony, joined as always by Anthony and Nate.

How you boys doing tonight?

That was so Radio Johnny.

I love it.

Radio Tony.

If this is your first episode, Tony does not usually sound like that, but I liked it.

Yeah, never.

And actually, you know what? I'm channeling Rob's radio section behind Nate there because he's at Rob's house doing the intro with us.

And I can see where Rob used to do his morning radio show right behind you.

That is funny.

You do have like a script, though.

You have like a kind of a normal script, but it's not super systematic, which we can all appreciate.

It's pretty systematic at this point.

It's like it's scratching an itch.

I just do it without even thinking.

Breathing.

It's a format.

It's not artificial.

It's a format.

It's like the Conan O'Brien show, the intro.

You need some kind of stage for what we're about to get, I guess, right?

Yeah, and I'm standing right now, and I'm doing the Conan, like, pulling himself up like a puppet and then cutting the end.

I'm doing that right now in my

studio.

I miss that.

Do you practice, though? That's the question.

No.

In the car,

you have.

Nope.

Wing it.

You have in the car.

I've heard from reliable swords.

Never.

I have never practiced.

I was

outside of the shower.

I heard

you.

No, I've never practiced that.

I mean, I have practiced doing it.

We're 300 and whatever episodes in.

So I think, when did I take them over? Like episode 70.

So yeah, I've got a lot of practice doing it, but no, I don't think I've ever actually practiced doing that as, you know, evidenced by this is the second attempt at this intro.

So.

Hey, you're not supposed to tell anyone that.

Full nurkle.
