How is the video being released?

Ed: The video we made is being released first on Yahoo! as a Yahoo! exclusive for 24 hours or something on October 10th. Then it will be up on our website and I think it will be in heavy rotation on MTV right away. They're going to sandwich it in between the Real Life, the OC, and Gilligan’s Island.

Does MTV play music videos anymore?

Ed: Nope, they do play Gilligan’s Island now, but few people know that.

How has Podcasting affected how you communicate with your fan base?

Steve: Well, just like how we don’t Podcast anymore, we don’t communicate with our fan base any longer.

(Everyone laughs)

Ed: Podcasting is excellent, but it's time-consuming and we’re on the road now. It is becoming harder and harder to get it in. You had a great idea (talking to Tyler) the other day to do a Podcast on the train from Washington D.C. to New York.

Steve: Then we didn’t do it.

Tyler: We played cards all the way. I want to know how you Photoshopped your head into the Big Green Egg smoke hole?

Steve: I didn’t. My friend took a picture of me. I was grilling and lifted it up and he took a picture through the smoke hole of the Big Green Egg.

Tyler: That’s very cool.

What is the Barenaked Ladies card game of choice?

Ed, Tyler, and Kevin: Euchre.

How much time goes into making a Podcast?

Ed: It’s real time. We just talk for however long it is.

Steve: It’s the putting it together and adding links and music and the editing and stuff like that. Takes me an hour and a half.

Ed: Yeah, that’s the extra hour and a half or two hours extra at the end of the fifteen minutes of talking.

What older Barenaked Ladies songs need more banjo in your opinion?

Tyler: "Alternative Girlfriend."

Ed: "Million Dollars" doesn’t have any banjo on it, does it?

Steve: Yeah.

Ed: Does it? Who played it?

Steve: You know what — what version has banjo? Is it the Yellow Tape, or the Pink Tape. No, the CVC version has banjo.

Tyler: That’s right. I don’t think Gordon does have Banjo. It has Bob Wiseman on accordion, Dave Allen on violin, and everyone in Toronto on vocals.

Steve: Except for Paul Myers.

Tyler: That’s right.

Ed: He’s not bitter about that, though.

Steve: No!

Tyler: Well, just ask him. He will be done telling you about it… in a million years!

(Everybody laughs)

Steve: “These Apples” has banjo on the record, doesn’t it?

Ed: Yeah.

Tyler: What’s the song you did with the slowed down banjo sped up?

Ed: “Back.”

Tyler: You sound like a wicked banjo player on that.

Jim: For “These Apples,” didn’t you do one picking part at a time?
