-Este, Danielle, Alana,
welcome back to the show.
00:00:03
You've been on the show
as musical guests.
00:00:06
Thank you so much for
being great guests on the show,
00:00:08
but we've never had you all
talking
00:00:10
and on the couch together.
-On the couch.
00:00:13
-That's what I'm talking about.
00:00:15
We got to talk about
a new album.
00:00:17
"I Quit" is out Friday.
00:00:19
Everyone, pre-order it right now
on wherever you get your music.
00:00:22
Go to your local record store.
Demand it. Yeah, it is --
00:00:26
Everyone -- All the -- Anything,
anywhere you listen to music.
00:00:29
I'm so excited about this.
00:00:31
I want to get into it.
First of all, who did the photo?
00:00:32
I like the cover.
00:00:34
-Okay, so first of all,
look at how -- Look at --
00:00:39
They're both in focus.
-Yeah.
00:00:41
-Guess who's not.
-That's perfect. That's perfect.
00:00:45
-Well, listen, I love it,
but I love that.
00:00:49
So the person that did this
was a friend of ours.
00:00:54
A friend of yours.
00:00:56
I think he's a friend
of everyone's.
00:00:57
-Elmo.
-His name is --
00:01:00
-From "Sesame Street."
Oh, my gosh.
00:01:01
-Didn't he do a great job?
00:01:03
-Who did it?
-Paul Thomas Anderson.
00:01:06
[ Cheers and applause ]
00:01:08
-One of the best.
Are you kidding me?
00:01:10
-He's literally the best.
00:01:12
And we were lucky enough
that he's done, like,
00:01:13
10 of our music videos.
00:01:15
He did our last record.
00:01:16
He did "Women in Music,
Pt. III."
00:01:18
-Congratulations, by the way.
00:01:19
You got a Grammy nomination
for that.
00:01:20
-Yes.
-That's what I'm talking about.
00:01:22
That's what I'm talking --
That's what I'm talking about.
00:01:26
And now I want a real Grammy.
00:01:28
Now you're --
Now you're going on the show,
00:01:30
now I want to see the trophy.
00:01:32

00:01:55
-Okay, fine, fine, fine, fine.
00:01:56
-Where did the name
"I Quit" come from?
00:01:59
-So, okay, so there's a movie
called "That Thing You Do!"
00:02:05
You know the movie.
-Love it.
00:02:06
-Do you guys know that movie?
-Tom Hanks.
00:02:08
-Okay. It came out in the '90s.
-Play-Tone.
00:02:11
-Play-Tone, first movie
they ever did.
00:02:13
-Yeah.
00:02:15

00:02:29
-Me too.
00:02:31
-And there's this, like,
pivotal moment in the movie.
00:02:34
At the end of the movie,
the lead singer is like,
00:02:37
"Okay, we have to do
our second record."
00:02:39
And he wanted to do this really,
like, brooding, emotional song.
00:02:42
And he comes up to the mic
and he's basically like,
00:02:45
"Okay, I'm ready to record."
00:02:47
And then Tom Hanks, the manager,
is like,
00:02:49
"Listen, Jimmy, I want something
peppy, something snappy."
00:02:54
And then Jimmy goes,
00:02:57
"Okay, um, I [Clears throat]

-And so --
-Good job.
00:03:10
-Thank you. That's my audition
to be in "That Thing You Do 2."
00:03:13
-"That Thing You Thing You 2."
00:03:14

-"That Thing You 2."
00:03:16

-Tom, if you're watching.
00:03:19
-Yeah.
-Please.
00:03:21
I will never be as amazing
as Liv Tyler.
00:03:23
-Do 2 and 3. Do both.
00:03:25
-2 and 3.
00:03:26
-Yes,
that's what I'm talking about.
00:03:27
"That Thing You Do 2 and 3."
00:03:29
-She's an actress.
00:03:30
-So you're like,
"Okay, I quit," so wait?
00:03:32
-Well, no.
00:03:34
So then as we grew up, when
we would, like, check our mic...
00:03:36
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:38
-We would check our mic
with ♪ I quit, I quit ♪
00:03:40
-That's funny. Yeah. Good.
00:03:42
-And when we were making
this record was no different.
00:03:44
We would check the mic
and go ♪ I quit, I quit ♪
00:03:47
And so when we were
like basically trying to find
00:03:49
like the placeholder name,
00:03:51
like, for the files of
the songs, we were like,
00:03:54
"Why don't we just put it under
'I Quit'?"
00:03:56
-Yeah, and then it stuck.
-And then it stuck.
00:03:59
And we also realized, like,
00:04:01
"Wait, a lot of our songs are
kind of about, like, quitting.
00:04:04
Like quitting the things that
aren't good for us anymore."
00:04:07
Blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:04:09
-We're not quitting music.
-We're not quitting music.
00:04:10
-We're not quitting music.
-You should never quit music.
00:04:12
-We're not quitting music.
00:04:14
No, that'll never happen.
-We're not quitting.
00:04:15
-That will never happen.
00:04:16
In fact, you're doubling down.
00:04:18
You're going to go on tour
September 4th.
00:04:20
Starting in Philadelphia.
00:04:21
-Yes.
-The "I Quit" tour.
00:04:24
And then you're coming back
to New York September 8th
00:04:26
to perform
at Madison Square Garden.
00:04:32
Now, are you looking
forward to touring?
00:04:35
-Oh, yes. The most.
-Can you tell?
00:04:37
-Yeah. You're so psyched.
00:04:39
Do you all share a tour bus?
00:04:42
-Of course.
-Yes, we do.
00:04:44
We do.
00:04:46
We snuggle like little gerbils
and, like,
00:04:47
watch, like, in the back of --
00:04:49
We do the show, we order pizza,
we snuggle like gerbils,
00:04:53
and we put on a movie.
-Yeah.
00:04:55
-But we are rock stars,
I promise.
00:04:57
-Yeah. No. Trust me.
-We're really hard, you know.
00:05:00
-Yeah, I've seen you play.
-We party, like, all the time.

00:05:15
-So believable, Jimmy.
-Thank you so much.
00:05:17
-Yeah.
00:05:19
-What was the first instrument
you guys ever learned?
00:05:21
-First instrument
we ever start--
00:05:23
Probably drums.
-Drums, I would say.
00:05:25
-But it was --
It was more that we just --
00:05:27
We are always banging
on each other.
00:05:30
-Yeah.
-Banging on, like,
00:05:32
people, records.
00:05:34
-That's how it started.
Three drummers?
00:05:35
-Three drummers.
-Oh, that's tough,
00:05:37
to have a band
with three drummers.
00:05:39
But can you just drum?
00:05:40
Can you drum right now
if I give you, like,
00:05:42
the Sharpie?
-Yes, I can drum.
00:05:46
Wait. Let me -- Hold on.
-Oh, take a sip.
00:05:49
Oh, she's chugging it.
00:05:50
-Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's just --
00:05:52
It's water, you guys.
Stay hydrated.
00:05:54
Stay hydrated. Yeah.

-Well, I don't know. What
would I even use a stapler for?
00:06:10
-I see -- I see --
00:06:12
