it’s finally time to spend the next 12 minutes talking about bacon I’m Travis Springs from Carroll Iowa let’s talk about that good mythical morning today’s episode is brought to you by small maker of musical apps for your phone and your tablet device including song fi now available on Android blow in your mind it’s songify on android yeah boy yeah boy to get boys in there thanks for joining us today we’re very excited because we have launched our latest music video entitled rub some bacon on it [Music] I would like to think that we could have come up with that title on our own but you know we got to give credit where credit is due it was a five word song title submitted by a dude whose user name happens to be Jeff is nude yep I mean we can’t that’s we’re not is I apologize for that that’s his name Jeff is new you know but when he comes up with a song title suggestion as great as rub some bacon on it I don’t care what his user name this right he gets chosen so thanks Jeff is nude for suggesting this we turned into a music video we went all in on this one so we want to talk to you about it today give you some behind-the-scenes tidbits extras excerpts that will enrich the viewing experience as you inevitably watch it hopefully hundreds of thousands of times and share it with all your friends really that’s asking a lot but do it now the Internet is this is obsessed with bacon we already knew that in fact one of the most interesting things about this experiment of asking people for song titles is how often certain things show up and we kept seeing bacon show up over and over and over and over again and so but the best iteration of the bacon suggestion was rub some bacon on it right cuz I mean immediately I think I found it and I read it off to you in your head I like this one because it you know all of a sudden you start to see a music video unfolding oh some songs we write they start as just comedy songs where it’s okay this is just gonna be funny because of how we’re singing it or what’s being said right this one definitely from the get-go was about the video itself yes which is why we ended up shooting way too many days way too many places but hopefully you know it’s all gonna be worth it now we used a couple of fake things well you should use real bacon this was not faking it was real bacon and we fried approximately and I fried most of I didn’t cry any of it four pounds of bacon we’re not a lot of it was consumed a lot of it was rubbed but that was four pounds of real bacon but we did use fake blood yes I think this is the bloodiest video we’ve ever done we’ve not done a lot of blood in our videos but when you nail your finger to something what is there appropriate to use a vial of fake blood that’s double have left a lot of people are wondering did you guys drop a real iPhone into the toilet no we’ve dropped a fake iphone you can actually this is from Amazon this is like 12 bucks you can go and get what looks especially from the back looks just like a real iPhone it’s metal it has the same weight but then it has like this insert in there which once you drop it into the toilet the button even seems to work yeah it feels like an iPhone but the the screen is just this paper insert and now that we dropped into my toilet it’s like a brown stains on it Oh out of that happen I thought you cleaned the toilet before we docked in anyway if you and then I got you to flush it and then you’re conveniently you said your hand wasn’t fit down there to to pull it out so I had to fish my hand down in your toilet and get this thing guys we should have left it in there why didn’t you go after it so don’t push it just don’t push it any further and then we also got a fake Narwhal horn well first of all the narwhal horn as many people have pointed out also it’s not a horn it’s a tooth we knew that it’s a that’s amazing it’s a tooth that comes out like several feet and that several feet you’re talking maybe tell maybe ten feet on some of Wolfie they’re big but I’ve got to see one of these in person the battery or we can take the narwhal tour yeah signed us up yesterday yes there’s a what they used to do back in the old days is the these European explorers would cut the narwhal tooth off and then bring it back to Europe and sell it as a unicorn horn that is a fact and it’s unethical yeah but this was not a real narwhal horn you can actually of course this is Los Angeles where you can rent things like replica Narwhal horns for your video and that’s and that’s what we did we should we should talk about we should mention hidden annotation it’s just to reward you guys for being good mythical you worse I I think that we’re alluding to the fact there’s hidden patience but we can’t we’re not gonna tell you exactly where they are one of which is mr. Tim net outtakes when his Harley phone calls was the with the bacon bot and then there’s some ridiculous pieces of footage of us singing on the beach some people have gotten the joke some people haven’t gotten the joke of the flashing the watch mm-hmm while I’m rubbing bacon on a narwhal horn and that was when we realized that we had we it was another song we thought we were gonna write that’s what it was before we got to rub some bacon on it we were gonna we saw everybody commenting the narwhal Bacon’s at midnight and we had begun we said that is a great five word song time and then I was like this is almost too good too and too many people are suggesting it for it not to be something and then of course at Google the narwhal Bacon’s at midnight and that’s when we learned that this is the official greeting of a redditor somebody who is a redditer meets another editor at a conference or something like that you know about this the person says when does the bake the narwhal bacon and the person responds the narwhal Bacon’s at midnight and then if you say it then they let you into their reddit Club of coolness now let’s talk about the robot hey you know I guess the question comes up how do you go from a video about bacon to all of a sudden needing a robot I was actually concerned you know when I first watched the final cut that people might say hey you guys are you through too much of this video maybe you’re trying too hard yeah we try very hard I’m not gonna I’m not gonna apologize for that but the robot it was kind of an it was an organic conversation when we were recording the song and recording the lyrics when we got to the chorus we’re trying to figure out what we were gonna sing and we came out this thing that we thought was good we were where we were just kind of chant yeah like that you know and we recorded that and I was like you know that sounds it sounds like a bunch of frat guys chanting about it on it so join my friend Rachel bacon on it you won’t be great rope to a birthday dinner they get it so we decided to scrap that and we couldn’t come up with anything else to sing that we could be proud of so we ended up saying what if we made it a robotic voice yeah and so they were like okay you make it a robotic voice it’s quirky it fits the tone of the song but that means we’re gonna have to build a robot yeah so the robot actually happened musically before it happened in his video visually and then you came up with the idea of the a George Foreman grill could be frying bacon and then it could be the mouth of the robot the whole head so we knew that would be the mouth and then you know Jason did a great job gathering all these materials $200 worth of junk basically we knew we wanted a you know a trash can and then from there it was just things that you found right like a CD player Sega Genesis controller yeah old timey phone I found the phone in the yard Smith congratulations you’re welcome I guess we should give the secret away on how we made the mouth move should we yeah your mythical beasts you watch good mythical morning I didn’t even know I didn’t know it was the secret I thought it was PVC pipe well it’s not a secret between us I’m saying if you watch the video you don’t you might not necessarily know how we did that it might be like dude how did they add a motor to that thing maybe you’re smart enough to figure it out on your own but basically there’s this hole in the back of the head where we stuck some PVC pipe and Jason kind of stood back there and rock from America and he puppeted it he’s gonna be a puppeteer he’s actually we’re announcing this he’s going to work for the Jim Henson Company starting tomorrow and rather have to find a replacement but we puppeted that and that’s why you never see the robot make it remove his mouth and a wide shot we always cut in so we could get the printer printer and then we come back out so I for a test for a test of the robot I got in the suit Jason was like okay I think I’ve got all the pieces so I got up in the thing for the actual music video for the inside shots Jason’s in the robot and then for the beat shots his roommate Nick is in the robot because just like the zebra once I got in that robot once I realized I wasn’t gonna get in there but we had to be dancing like some weird strange creepy mix of the Beach Boys in one direction on the beach but the first iteration of the robot the holes were so small that once I got in there I couldn’t get out we thought we were gonna have to get the jaws of life to get link out listen this episode but go and watch grow some bacon on it if you happen to have missed it I know there’s a lot of squirrely things going on with subscriptions on YouTube right now and people are saying they’re not getting videos and you know go watch they get out and seen it we’ve got a link in the description thanks for sharing it and let’s uh let’s do this we all how we gonna end this episode a week spin ya
