'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Mike, what did you do this time?!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' So, I made this in a hotel room in New York, um by myself at, like, three in the morning. Um, we were speaking at NYU the next day and I just wanted to make something. ''{snickers}'' And so I had to use old audio.<br />
<br />
'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Look at the Lincoln heads behind them. I never noticed that before, I don't think.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' This... so those characters, the drawings, were... um, for an Exaggeration that never got made.<br />
<br />
'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' That's true.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' So I just had those drawings laying around.<br />
<br />
'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{imitating Homestar from one [[Exaggerations|Exaggeration]]}'' These are some, these are some, these are some!<br />
