So some 1985 compatriots helped me make this video recently:
[youtube C3xT38j4TGs News Anchors]
Gavin Speiller plays “Gavin Speiller” and Ben Rodgers plays “Will Hines.” I play “offscreen voice of reason.” I originally had a more ambitious idea and then decided to just have them read and make up a bunch of silly headlines because… er, I don’t know why. Because I’m drunk on the freedom of YouTube to do whatever I want, I guess. It’s nice to have funny friends who will show up and shoot for an hour with zero prep, too.
Gavin and the rest of Rogue Elephant are doing a sketch show tonight. Maybe you go, yes?
Oh, you want MORE trivia on that 2.5 minute video? Sure, sure. Ben is basing his character on this guy. The”boop” noise is from the end of Radiohead’s song “Airbag.” I was gonna greenscreen in a background but a) it was hard and b) it distracted from the performances. More trivia: I need better (or any) microphones. Then, quietly, you ask: hey, is this some sloppy half-assed copy of the outtakes from Anchorman? Hmmm. Yes. Yes, come to think of it, it really is. Screw you and the whole world.
