00:00Is there some giving away of some weed going on over there?
00:03Is that happening a second ago?
00:05There's definitely a joint rolled up right here.
00:07Pass that over to you.
00:08Yeah.
00:09Kyle brought in a joint.
00:11It is a small baseball bat.
00:13It really is.
00:14It's a small baseball bat.
00:15Orange creamsicle.
00:18He's slightly stupid in studio at K-Rock.
00:21Welcome, guys.
00:22Kyle and Miles.
00:23What's up, dudes?
00:24It's good to be back.
00:25Thanks for having us.
00:26Couldn't help but notice you came in your bus.
00:29It's tour time.
00:30Tour time.
00:31After this weekend, we kind of get going.
00:33So it was kind of perfect just to roll up here.
00:35Sunny day in San Diego and L.A.
00:37So it was great.
00:38We left there and now we're here.
00:40Yeah, I know.
00:40I pulled up and I was like, oh, they're going with the bus today and a crew of people.
00:45And I would expect nothing less from Slightly Stupid.
00:47You need your zone.
00:49You do have 1,200 people that roll with you.
00:55You guys are like the...
00:56A couple of homies.
00:56A couple of homies.
00:58Let's talk about the new song that we're going to world premiere in a second.
01:01It's called Backseat Drivin'.
01:04Tell us about it.
01:06It's fun.
01:07It's fun.
01:08Honestly, it just feels like a summer vibe.
01:09You know, it talks about kind of the old days of how we used to roll out.
01:12You know, you always got the crazy homies in the back.
01:15Road sodas.
01:16If you don't know what those are, then you don't know.
01:19That's just kind of how you rolled back then.
01:21And sometimes you still do.
01:22And it's just kind of part of that summer vibe and energy.
01:25And, you know, growing up at the beach, that kind of culture and everything.
01:29Yeah.
01:29And you guys brought in Wiz Khalifa and G-Love, who you've worked with forever, like 20 years plus.
01:36But how did this come together with Wiz?
01:39We're just big fans of him, of his music and him as a person.
01:43So it's just like...
01:45You just hit him up?
01:47It just seems fun to be you guys.
01:49I know!
01:49It would be really great.
01:50Everybody wants to collab with you guys.
01:52Wiz Khalifa, let's talk to him and see if he'll do it.
01:55I love his music, but I don't even care if he made music.
01:58That's how much of a fan of him I am.
01:59You know what I mean?
02:01He's amazing.
02:02And G-Love, you've done a lot with.
02:04Yeah, it's a brother from another mother.
02:07Yeah, we've been working together like 20 years with G, so it's...
02:10You know, everything's just natural.
02:11It's always a good hang.
02:13You know, we don't have to see each other for a few months, and it's like we never missed a
02:16beat always.
02:16So it's pretty cool.
02:17What's so special about the chemistry between you guys and the studio?
02:21I mean, I feel like just energy.
02:23You know what I mean?
02:24It's just when you hear a good beat over something and you start adding guitars to it and things, you
02:29get...
02:29You know, you vibe off that energy from the music.
02:32A lot of it starts right there.
02:34You know, a lot of words, you get inspired by just the beat itself.
02:38And after making...
02:39I mean, you've done 13 albums in total.
02:42So do you ever feel like, what are we going to write about now?
02:46Like, does that ever happen, or are you just kind of getting in the groove?
02:49Life kind of provides the lyrics, you know?
02:52We don't...
02:53It's like if you try to get from point A to point B, you're going to get lost, you know
02:57what I mean?
02:57But if you let the wind take you, things happen.
03:00When you show up, things happen.
03:02So it's the same thing when you're talking about with G-Love.
03:04We've been a fan of his music for so long.
03:07But even if he didn't make music, he's just such an amazing person.
03:11We surf, we hang out, we barbecue.
03:14And when we were making this song, that's what we were doing.
03:16And we're just barbecuing, surfing, and just the vibes.
03:20And then when we show up in the room with a guy like that, it just magic happens.
03:25How long ago did you have this song finished?
03:27We did it this year.
03:29Oh, finished just recently, kind of.
03:31Yeah.
03:32For the most part.
03:32Did it come together quickly?
03:34Very quickly.
03:34Yeah.
03:35And did Wiz do his verse on livestream?
03:38Did he...
03:39Was that...
03:39Twitch.
03:40On Twitch.
03:41But was that the take that you actually used for the record?
03:44I think he was, like, kind of putting stuff together, like, different pieces of it from
03:47there that he had already, you know, pre-sung and stuff on the thing.
03:51But it was dope.
03:51However he did it, it was incredible.
03:54No, I don't know anybody who does that, you know.
03:57Yeah.
03:57In front of 16,000 people on Twitch or online.
04:00That's pretty crazy.
04:01It was pretty dope.
04:02And just, you know, his energy is rad, regardless.
04:06Like, he lives, I feel like, a lot like we do, you know what I mean?
04:10And life's great and special, and he parties and has fun, and, you know, that's what it's
04:15about.
04:15He's super talented.
04:17Yeah.
04:17Yeah.
04:18He's dope.
04:18Good times.
04:19All right, so Slightly Stupid is here.
04:20We're going to take a quick break, and we're going to come back and world premiere the new
04:23song, Backseat Driving, on K-Rod.
04:26Woo!
04:27This is a brand new song from Slightly Stupid.
04:30It's a world premiere that you guys are having.
04:32Is it fun to put a song out into the world that no one's heard?
04:35Premiere.
04:36Yeah!
04:37The point of no return.
04:41Can't go back now.
04:42Tell us again about Backseat Driving, if you would.
04:46Dude, it's summertime love, summertime energy, summertime party.
04:50Hanging out with friends.
04:51That's right.
04:52Having good times.
04:52And we need more good vibes right now.
04:55So I appreciate the hell out of this song.
04:57All right, here's another big...
05:01Hot day like today in Southern California.
05:03That is so perfect.
05:05Backseat Driving is the name of that.
05:07Slightly Stupid.
05:08Should we do it again?
05:09I mean, why not?
05:10Let's do it again.
05:11Yeah!
05:14Let's make the best of it.
05:15That is fantastic.
