MuchMusic.com: When you gathered all the tapes and watched them for the first time, what footage killed you?

MCA: That's a good question.

Adrock: The lady who worked at the Garden playing the air guitar is pretty funny.

MCA: That is funny, yeah. Also, just the way Neal [the editor] was cutting it up. Also, just the weird parts that aren't supposed to be in there like you see a security guard yawning.

Mike D: I both like and was horrified by the waiter guy with the champagne or wine, whatever he had. That's not very appropriate at a Beastie Boys' show.

Adrock: I think we should serve champagne at every show. Plenty of soft drinks, also.

MCA: By soft drinks you mean like, pop?

Adrock: Some pop.

MCA: Cola?

Adrock: Some cola.

Mike D: (to Adrock) I watched your show, I forget what it's called, on the Discovery Channel. It's the one where they take a myth and test it.

Adrock: Why is that my show?

Mike D: So, they made like a pig's stomach and they filled it up with pop rocks and a whole bunch of soda.

MCA: And what happened?

Adrock: For the record, that's not my show.

Mike D: I was happy to see the pop rocks myth doesn't work. They had to add like A LOT of carbonated soda for it to do anything.

MuchMusic.com: So, the myth was busted! Anyway, back to the DVD, I think it's interesting that most people would shun the idea of low-quality Hi-8 footage, but you embraced it and grew the idea from it.

Adrock: Because we're cheap.

MCA: It somehow brings out that energy in the room. When stuff is really clean, it just starts feeling - it doesn't feel like what it felt like in the room, but the graininess works a little bit more.

MuchMusic.com: You guys are forces of awesomeness, loved by many - but do you still have mentors?

Adrock: Quote that.

MCA: Who said it?

MuchMusic.com: I did. That was all me. So, do you have mentors?

MCA: Huhh. We cut em' off, mostly.

Mike D: Hornblower was a mentor but then he was out of his mind.

MCA: Yeah, we cut him off.

Adrock: We cut him off several times.

Mike D: Actually, Alec Baldwin was, but I feel like we got what we could take from his expertise.

Adrock: Who are our mentors? No one really likes us to hang out with us and teach us.

Mike: Oh, of course, rest in peace, Grandpa from the Munsters.

Adrock: Al Lewis.

Mike: Oh, AJ Scratch, Kurtis Blow's DJ.

Adrock: I did learn how to eat a chicken wing from him.

MCA: It was a special technique. He'd put the whole wing in his mouth and spit out the bone.

MuchMusic.com: When we watch your music videos, we go, "holy crap, now that's a collection". Whose videos make you think that?

Adrock: I haven't seen a new video in - I don't even remember the last video I saw.

MuchMusic.com: They can be videos from any era.

Adrock: I like the Rolling Stone video where they're all in sailor outfits and the room fills with bubbles.

MCA: Have you seen the Mick Jagger solo one, I think it's called like, "Working 9 to 5" or "Working For The Weekend" or something, and he starts dancing in front of a mirror in spandex?

Mike D: I thought of this because he said "9 to 5", but any Dolly Parton video.

Adrock: You know, we should take a band trip to Dollywood.

MCA: Maybe we could add that to the tour when we go see Mount Rushmore. I'm just saying like, we could do a little sight seeing tour. That's a good idea for the next tour, we could pick spots that we wanna see and then go tour there. Like, hot springs.

Adrock: Oooooooooo!

MuchMusic.com: Are you guys gonna do more voice over work on the upcoming new episodes of Futurama?

Mike D: Haven't gotten that call, but we're open! We're big fans.

MCA: If they need us, we should let them know.

Adrock: I never saw the episode we were on.

MCA: I didn't actually get to do my voice. For some reason, I wasn't around so you guys got to do yours and then somebody else did mine.

MuchMusic.com: Ok, I really need to know: why does everyone have to be so gangster about their posing these days?

Mike D: We're gangster!

MuchMusic.com: Yeah, but you're like, old school gangster. Everyone these days just flips their teeth.

Mike: Well, we don't have the fronts for it, that's true.

MCA: I got shot 32 times in my leg. My left leg.

Adrock: His left leg is gross.

MCA: That's why I walk down the street with a cart. (motions like he's using a walker)
