Yeah, it seems like we've been here for weeks.

What's going on, Everybody.

For first we feast.

I'm Sean Evans and you're watching hot ones.

It's the show with hard questions, even hotter Wings Sam, joined by Jack Black and Kyle Gass Together, they're Tenacious D, the self described greatest band on Earth.

You can pick up their fourth studio album, Post Apocalypto, set to drop on November 2nd and to hold you over, they've released an animated Web series by the same name.

It's on YouTube.

Check it out after hot ones.

Maybe.

Jack Kyle, Welcome to the show.

Thanks, Good to be here.

How are you guys with spicy food?

You crank it up a little bit.

I like the spies.

I crank it now.

I feel like I'm overconfident, though I like the spice change Despise.

I want to crank it.

Well, you know what we have are Thai iced teas on deck, so I know it's the first time ever.

You know why?

Yeah.

I mean, he always here like drink the milk.

The milk is the best thing to do for us.

Then other people say it not milk.

doesn't work, nothing works.

And then just today a dude was like You're going on hot ones.

The secret is a sugary water.

It deactivates this.

He was coming at me with some science.

Then someone else was like, You know, you need the fats of the creams.

So I came up with this Thai iced tea.

It's like a sugary water with some creme de la creme.

Well, let's put it to the test, guys.

You ready?

No.

That this is the easiest one.

That's probably gonna be not spicy at all.

Wow.

Displaying all delicious.

So what I want to do here is dig into some of the behind the scenes mythology of tenacious D Kyle.

Is it true that you couldn't stand Jack when you first met him in the late eighties?

That's not true.

That's a That's a Well, you are really friendly.

I was threatened by John.

His talent was younger than me, but he seemed already something special.

And I was a little just, uh yeah.

Well, threaten.

That's how all great friendships begin.

Can't beat him.

I have to join him.

All right.

I'll let you be my friend.

Exactly how it is can you guys offer some highlights and lowlights from the writer challenge or tradition whereby you guys will eat everything on your tour rider regardless of quantity?

Well, that's Ah, my God, that's wow, that that's a That's a great thing that you found out about, You know, that I don't know about the writer talents, actually, Just a comedic idea that I have.

Yeah, there was like what we got?

We got like, pita bread way.

Have we got Hamas?

We got a chocolate dark chocolate.

But it's overall when you look at it, the spread, it's too much food.

You're never gonna get it all.

It's stupid rock star stuff and then you usually get catering, and then it just goes two ways to really bad.

Is there any truth to the Internet urban legend that you guys started an earthquake in New Zealand opening for the Foo Fighters?

Now that is true.

That is true.

That is actually scientifically proven because they got a good sensitive Richter scale system there in New Zealand.

And when we were doing tribute, the whole crowd was was bouncing so hard they said, that it registered on the Richter scale.

There and they were afraid we were gonna cause unearth quake that would sink the whole island.

So we had, like, take it down a notch by you.

Why?

Why?

Why here?

A hell?

Yeah.

Hell, we'll get that correct pronunciation when you're so close.

Oh, quite so delicious.

Okay, like how you throw the bones where, Like, the chicken and nutritious.

And also tell me, baby, quite bow delicious.

That needs some work.

So you've touched on the tour writer Challenge.

But now that you guys are in this seat, I want to discuss some of the other gourmet exploits of tenacious D.

Can you explain the burrito burrito to the people out there?

Um, I believe that I've developed this technique of burrito eating where you take the burrito bite off just a tip, drain it.

Let the chunks fall on top of a bed of chips to create nachos there and then some dry chips.

Stuff them in the hole and fill this, you know, delicious burrito satchel with crunchy chips.

I love it.

I just love a good crunch in the burrito.

I'm gonna have my first just cause I like early in the game.

So that's not because you're hurting allspice, just like milk.

Okay, let's do this.

Yeah, Raising the temperature on this game does.

I'm still doing pretty good out like my glasses.

They're starting to steam up a little bit a little bit.

I can see that.

You guys have had this multi decade long collaboration, but also your fair share of solo project.

So what I want to do is talk about some of the times you guys have gone off on your own pastures to see how they were viewed through the eyes of your partner in crime.

How?

What do you think is the pinnacle of Jack's acting career?

Uh, well, I lived Bernie.

Look, that was really great performance.

Thank you, Jack.

What's your favorite episode of guitar ings?

The Internet guitar tutorial Siri's hosted by Kyle Gass.

I think the one that you did with Josh Hami Yeah, was special because of all the living rock guitarists, I think he's the best.

Just so rad, stylish.

And it was a coup.

It's like, how did you get cha cha me?

I know that we run in the same circles, but the fact that you got him on your show was I was impressed.

I was scared.

Now you my show?

Yeah, really, You will.

Okay, Kyle, what do you think is Jack's best celebrity impression?

I've seen him do a great one of the rock.

When he was doing press for Jumanji, I did like that rock was funny.

I just got a hot sauce.

Did you weigh Have only just begun.

Oh, no, it's It's going to trial.

I told you to trouble you like someone spiked my wings way.

Oh, I do one really good impression.

Paul Lynde most for it's like 19 sixties hit me.

He was on, like, a Bewitched.

And he was like, I want Yeah, that's really all I can do.

Just say that one where you were that was that.

I'm starting to feel it.

I'm gonna take another take my first sip.

No shame in that.

Oh, this works.

One of the funniest things has seen nerdy music writers described your live shows would feature everything from SAS botch, cameos and even an oversized ejaculating phoenix.

Looking back, what do you think was your most disastrous live performance?

Oh, well, that's pretty easy, Miller.

Genuine draft.

Yeah, that was a disaster.

That was a fiasco promotion, uh, MG blind date for this beer and then fly ready to Vegas to see a secret band.

Yeah, it's a radio contest.

Like, if you heard on the radio and you called in your the 13th collar, you get to fly and they fly on.

They don't tell you the band is So everyone's just like, oh, man, bed its leg.

It's probably gonna be YouTube.

I'm gonna be leads that Lynn it's probably gonna be.

And so And then the curtain opens and it's all these drunk people from all over the country have been flown to Vegas and then it's tenacious D and that just immediately like 98 nobody knows where our kings on my disease 1 10 minutes office flying at us and spit and ice cubes and like like nature.

And I'm looking around and say Anyone that's enjoying this and I look in the back and there's a dude going and I like that Dude loves doesn't like It's like horrible, homophobic dude.

But I looked in the wings because we had Spiderman in the wings.

Our friend J R.

And he's supposed to come out and we do this whole comedy bit with Spider Man and he was in the wings and he was like, No, no, no Spidey e But I felt like after that I felt like we got stronger.

We were stronger because of it.

Because there was something really funny about being booed that hard to.

Yeah, in a weird way, it might have been our best show if someone could get a videotape of that.

I appreciate it.

I'm loving all these chickens because there simply quite nutritious.

And also tell me, Baby quiet, so delicious.

It's getting better.

The jam is getting more solid.

It's coming together like I happened like, never get you get you get you get you get to go to All right, guys, we have a recurring segment on our show called Explain That, Graham, where you do a deep dive on our guests.

Instagram pull interesting pictures that need more context.

So I'll bust out the laptop.

I'll show you the picture.

Then you tell me the bigger story.

Does that sound good?

All right.

Laptop, please.

Guys doing so far it seems like very good.

I'm feeling good.

This is I feel like we're starting to really get to it.

What goes into putting together this type of pyrotechnic?

It was for an awards show on Spike TV, the video game awards, and you know who wrote this opening sketch?

Which was it was kind of an amazing musical number.

Sketch thing.

A J D ress.

JD Risner was one of the writers, but also Dan Harmon, who co creator of Rick and Morty.

Funny a show on that was funny ass idea that we would have explosive spark shooting cox.

And there was a fireman on hand ready to put out our flaming cox if need be.

Ah, memories thus concludes.

Ramen man doesn't get speaking of fiery cox time for another.

Send it all down A has been It has that.

Flavor the Middle East.

So during his VH one's storytellers, Kanye West broke down the lyrics of Robocop and he said that he had some tenacious d in it, that it was his first real jack black moment.

And then Jack, I've seen you singing Run away on your instagram feed.

Do you see tenacious D influence and Kanye West music at all.

Well, he said, it did.

So Look, I loved it that Kanye gave us a shout out.

I would definitely definitely give me a little Woody.

Um, can you give us a shot?

Because I look on you.

I think he's got great great jams, really good jams.

But he also gave Ah, Donald Trump a shot up on that guy's a douche.

So it's weird.

It's like, Wait, yeah, does that take away from the compliment?

He gave us a little bit?

No, he's very talented.

There's no question about it.

You gotta separate the art from the artist.

I love even his most recent jams, the one that he did with a little Paul.

Funny, it was actually fun.

You know what I think I think about about Kanye.

That's similar to us, though, is, uh, we're all about being the best band in the world, and he's He's very much in that same van with being the greatest.

You know, he likes to toot his own horn, but I think we're a little more tongue and shake than his.

I think we really think he's gonna but at least high on his own supply.

Oh, shit.

Where we had no firewater.

They're not fucking around when they put the skull.

Uh, stall God, it's just trouble.

Fuck!

This is where is getting serious.

I did a shit.
